Chapter 2 | Might as well move
Everyone gasped and I rolled my eyes.
They all turned around and walked up to me "what did you just say?" The middle one asked "wow, rude and deaf...what a combo" I said "listen bitch, I don't know who you are but you better watch out" I felt my fists clenching at the mention of the word bitch.
You want bitch? You got it.
I grabbed the coffee out of Ethan's hand and poured it over the middle guy (Tyler) "don't ever call a girl a bitch...or she might just act like one" people gasped and he and his friends stood there wide-eyed and in shock, Ethan started laughing hysterically and high fived me and I walked away.
So much for keeping a low profile…
I made my way to my English class and sat down at the back...again...I wonder who else is gonna bug me. The teacher walked in and she was very pretty. She had auburn hair, blue eyes and a petite frame. "You're late Tyler," She said and I did a double-take
...why me???
I saw the boy I had poured coffee all over standing in the doorway, he noticed me sitting and his eyes immediately turned to slits, this will be fun. "Today I will be putting you in seating places and no groaning or asking for a seat change, you get what you get and you don't get upset" everyone groaned nonetheless she called out name after name until I heard my name called "Isabella and Tyler over there"
Fan-fucking-tastic
I sat down with a huff and turned in my seat so I wouldn't have to face him. I could smell his cologne and it was annoying the hell out of me
Seriously, what did he do, bathe in it?
"We will have a project starting today, you will be doing it with your seating partners. You will do a presentation on any Shakespeare or Jane Austen piece and talk about its significance to you. You will get today and tomorrow to plan then you will work on the rest on your own time.
I turned to face him and he did the same and we sat there glaring at each other for I don't know how long "I'm not seeing much talking over here" said the teacher "we were just...warming up to each other is all" I replied not breaking eye contact with Tyler, "Isabella-" "I prefer Bella" I said and finally broke off our stared down "I'm sorry, Bella, I just wanted to welcome you to the class. I also took a look at your grades and well, they're outstanding! This assignment should be perfect for the both of you seeing as Tyler is failing, you can help him out!" She walked away and we went back to our glare down…
I will not lose.

The lunch bell rang and I got out of my seat but I felt someone grab my wrist. "What now?" I asked Tyler "You're new here so I'm gonna give you the chance to apologize." He said and leaned against the doorframe. The hallways were silent and everyone was waiting for my answer. I snickered "you're delusional if you think I'm ever going to apologize to you." He looked genuinely stunned so I took it as my opportunity to leave. The entire lunch consisted of Alison and Tessa constantly going on and on about my encounter with Tyler in the hallway.
"Then she said hey asshole!"
"I can't believe she did that!"
"She actually called him an asshole!"
"She's dead!"
"Might as well move"
All the while I rolled my eyes. Seriously they never shut up about it so I just tuned them out till the end of lunch.
Unfortunately, it wasn't just them, everyone and I mean everyone was talking about it. They obviously have nothing else to do with their time.

School finally ended and I walked to my car and saw Tyler, Dylan and Ethan leaning against it. "Can I help you?" I asked and Tyler spoke up "you parked in my spot, no one parks in my spot." He glared
I really can't catch a break today
"What is it with you boys and your spots? I don't see a name on the parking spot so as of now it's anybody's spot." I replied
He gritted his teeth "you're pretty-" "thank you" "-infuriating" he finished and I fake smiled "now if you will excuse me" he moved aside and I got in my car, flipped him off then drove away.
I pulled up on the driveway and saw Oliver's truck oh no no no no no..okay breathe Bella, wiggle your fingers just...deep breaths.
I reluctantly got out and walked inside. I could hear the laughter and the house reeked of alcohol and smoke "girl in here...now!!" I ran to the living room and saw my father sitting on the couch along with Olivier, "since you're home, I trust you found a job?"
Shit! Fuck! And any other profanity!
"I- uh, I forgot," I said quietly. His eyes turned dark and he stood up
He walked towards me and struck me with his bottle causing me to fall. I laid on the floor crying and shaking vigorously, "stand up" he kicked me repeatedly "I said stand up!!" His loud angry voice boomed loudly through the room. I wanted to say something, anything hoping it'll finally be over. But I dare not speak. It will make matters worse.
I could see the puddle of blood and tears around me. I slowly got up and fell again. My legs were shaking and my breath hitched. "Do not make me repeat myself, you bitch!!!" I gripped the table lying on the floor and willed myself to get up. I looked him in the eye "f-for the last t-t-time my n-name is Bella." My voice was shaky and raspy "Oh so you want to speak huh?"
Crap!
I felt another sharp pain and a kick to my stomach. I just laid there wincing and crying out in pain each time his knife or foot connected with my stomach. "Can I finish the job now?" "Yes, I'm done with this filthy rat, do what you want and don't stop until she passes out."
Oh no not again. I heard him snicker and immediately I was brought to my feet. I felt someone removing my sweats and shirt. I wanted to fight back but I couldn't. I was too weak.
When he was done they kicked me repeatedly laughing at my pain. I rushed upstairs and felt another attack coming on. Deep breaths Bella, breathe, in and out, I was hyperventilating, tears were streaming down my face, I felt like I was losing oxygen. I clawed at my collar, I felt like I was suffocating, my hands were trembling. I walked to the bathroom and splashed water on my face then walked back out still gasping for air. Then everything went black.
