Chapter 6

Olivia's POV

I'm currently in English right now, waiting for the bell to ring. I got here early so my sister, her friends and her boyfriend plus his friends didn't harass me in the hallways.

My head is laying on my arms that I have folded over each other on the desk. I'm so tired. I didn't get much sleep. My father beat me again last night and it feels like my body is ready to just give up at any moment.

I'm about to nod off when I hear the door to the classroom open abruptly. I look up, expecting to see the teacher but it's Rosalie.

She walks over to me and hands me a gift wrapped in wrapping paper. "Go on, open it." She says, sitting down at the desk next to me.

Oh my gosh. I have never been given a present before. I tear the wrapping paper off my gift, then proceed to open it. I look inside the little white box that was currently wrapped in wrapping paper and see a pink Samsung galaxy S22.

I turn to Rosalie with a surprised expression, ready to ask her why but she answers before I could ask. "I hate not being able to text you. So I got you a phone. Samsungs are easier to setup then iPhones so I got you that instead of an iPhone." She admits.

My eyes water and I immediately throw my arms around Rosalie. She chuckles and wraps her arms around my back. She's the first person to ever give me something that wasn't secondhand.

After our hug I tried to tell her that she shouldn't have and that it would have been very expensive, so I would have no way to pay her back. But she just kept telling me not to worry and that I didn't need to pay her back. But the thing is I need too or I'm gonna feel bad. Before I could protest any further, the teacher walked in and the bell for class rang.

Once the students we're all seated at their desks, the teacher began her teaching. The moment I've been dreading for a long time now has come. "Okay class I'm gonna go around the room and ask each and everyone of you a question about the movie 'Rabbit Proof Fence', to see if you guys have been paying attention." The teacher Mrs Baldwin announced.

Omg no. Each student has their turn and once they got to me, I was as still as a statue. "Come on Olivia, you have to answer too." Mrs Baldwin says. "How did the rabbit holes help them?"

I open my notebook to write down my answer, but just before I could show her, Lucinda shouts to the teacher, "She's not gonna answer you miss, she's a mute freak." The whole room erupts into laughter, while my eyes fill with tears.

As the teacher goes to stop them from laughing, a bang comes from Lucinda's desk. "Rosalie let go of her now." Mrs Baldwin shouts while Rosalie has her hand in Lucinda's hair, pushing her head down into the desk.

Rosalie whispers into Lucinda's ear then let's her go and walks back to her desk. The thing is I heard every word. I'am officially scared shitless now. I heard her say, "If you pull something like this again. I will go to your house to beat and kill your family right in front of you. I'am not bluffing. You have been warned."

I look at Lucinda and seeing tears running down her cheeks. Okay I'am definitely gonna keep my distance from Rosalie now. What if I accidentally upset her and she hurts me, or worse, kills me!

I'm about to cry. I'am so scared and humiliated at the same time. I can feel the tears that are about to fall. So I grab my shit and run out of the classroom. Just before I accidentally slam the classroom door I hear the teacher shout, "Olivia get back here this instant!"

I don't listen and decide to run into the little girls bathroom. Once I'm in I lock the door and check the stalls. Once I know I'm alone I slump to the floor and cry. Why does my life have to be like this? Why me?!

"Why me?!" I say out loud to myself, as my tears continue to run down my face like a waterfall. I'm constantly surrounded by people who hate me or could hurt me. Why can't I ever just feel safe and be loved for once?
