warning: bullying/someone gets beat up

Aiden's pov

Maths was the worst.

Even though I genuinely do like the subject, my teacher is that part I don't like.

He always sent weird, angry looks at everyone. He also talked in the most monotone voice known to man. I could almost imagine him writing and revising a script before every lesson. He only ever tells us to go on a random page in the textbook and solve all of the problems, then, he sits at his desk and goes on his phone until the bell rings.

Today was no different.

We read a brief explanation of what we were learning, read a few examples, then solved problems until class ended. When the bell finally rang, almost everyone groaned and then started talking about how hungry they were.

I quickly left the classroom and, as I was walking towards the front of the school where I usually sat, I felt weirdly nervous. Suddenly, someone pushed me. I lost balance and fell. I already knew who this was. It was one of Alex's best friends: Nathan. He's pretty much the only one of my bullies that uses me as a personal punching bag. The others stay to using words as their weapons of choice.

I try not to make any noise as he kicks me in the back. I protect my head with my arms as he kicks me again and again.

When he gets bored, he walks away, leaving me there on the cold floor.

A few minutes later, I get up from the ground and walk outside to my usual spot in the corner. I try to ignore the pain from my fresh bruises when I lean my back against the wall. I take out my sandwich and eat it during the last few minutes of lunch I had left.

Thanks for reading! I'm sorry about the schedule change but I am quite busy at the moment and a little bit stressed because of it. Anyway, have a nice day/night/whatever time it is for you. Be sure to smile and take care of yourself :)
