3 CHAPTER 3

Now that your more than likely judging my family. Lets talk about school. I use to love it... it was a place were I could escape everything going on at home and just be me. That was until I was forced to switch schools. I thought that everything would end up ok and I wouldn't have a hard time. But the day I met Claire and Violet was the day everything changed and not in a good way. I wasn't pretty enough, I wasn't tall enough, I didn't sound like them, nothing was good enough for them. They made it very clear that I wasn't EVER going to be party of their little group. Let me be honest with you... I never wanted to be besties with them. I just wanted to be respected, that's all anybody really wants. I was bullied everyday for two months straight by them. Let me stop you there... yes I could of told the teachers and principals or my parents at least. Its not that easy, it never was that easy. One day after Violet had finished slamming me into the lockers and dumping out my backpack on top of me, I went straight to the principals office ready to snitch. Until I ran into Claire walking out of the restroom making her way over to me. My heart... It dropped I'm surprised that I didn't faint. Surprisingly she didn't do anything but look at me with a spine chilling stare. After that day, I never thought about telling anyone that could of helped. You think Claire and Violet were just the average bullies? Maybe this will change your mind. Leaving math class one day on my way to English, I saw both Claire and Violet walking my way laughing and giggling. I put my head down and tried to become invisible knowing that never worked. Before I knew it Claire had wrapped her hand around my perfectly high ponytail and pushed me in the bathroom as Violet walked in after her. You know when your watching dateline or something like that and the victim that's telling the story says'' Its all such a blur'' Well Its been two years and I still remember every last detail. They both started pushing and shoving me from wall to wall until I fell to the ground. After what seemed like forever of them kicking and laughing at me, Violet stops, ''Get on your knees and drink the water'' she says pointing to the toilet. ''Drink the water doggie'' Claire says going along with Violet. So I did, I had too. I just wanted them to stop. And they did. But my pain didn't.
