Chapter 6

‡Anabella‡

Let's just say it was a long.... slow walk to school.

The first class was already over by the time we got in.

The hall way was already packed with students going to their next class. Some people who have free period are just loitering around the hall way.

I didn't realize Ethan was still beside me until.....

"Hello Ethan boo" an overly high pitched voice said.

I internally cringed at the nickname and the sound of her voice, I turned to find Melanie clinging to the arm of an extremely bored Ethan.

I pity him... Though I'm glad she's not after me.

Huh.... I noticed her minions aren't here. Meh.

Ethan sends me the 'help me' look which I ignore, he can handle this.. I mean come on he's a boy

I have no time for this. I already missed Biology yesterday. She hasn't noticed me yet, maybe I can walk free.

I turn to walk away.

"Anabella wait up" Ethan called out, some how managing to free himself from Melanie's grip. And also turning her attention to me!. Sweet innocent little me.

"Aaaaaaaah!" She let out a high pitched scream

"What the hell happened to your face!!, You look like a deranged lunatic misplaced clown" she shrieked.

Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Ethan chukles at this but otherwise ignores her.

"What class do you have" Ethan asked

"Oh.. I'm on my free class, I'm totally availa..."

"I was talking to Anabella" Ethan says interrupting Melanie, then turning to me. At this Melanie's mouth drops open in disbelief.

"What!" She screams stomping her foot childishly.

Uh oh, this Will not end well.

" Ummmm.... AP Biology"

" Wow same with me, we better hurry up" He replied. "I do not want to be late again" he mutters

"Why are you ignoring me!!! And since when did you two become buddies"Melanie screamed at Ethan.

You know what he did?

"Let's go" he motioned to me.

Then he just walked away.

I tried to follow him. Notice the try there?

I had only gone three steps when "You bitch!" Melanie grabbed me by shoulder and hauled me to the locker, I hit my already injured back hard.

I groaned in pain, and slowly slide to the floor. I felt tears forming in my eyes but quickly blink them back. I will not cry for this. I'm stronger than this.

"What that hell Meredith!" I heard Ethan scream.

" It's Melanie you buffoon" She replied inspecting her manicured fingernails.

He ignored her moving to help me up.

No no no no

He grabbed my arm causing me to let out a small groan, because he had grabbed my injured arm.

Other than that, I said nothing as he helped me up.

I felt liquid seeping down my back.

I wonder what it is for a while before it dawns on me

The hit must have opened my wound and soaked my bandage. It started bleeding afresh, if I don't dress it soon......

And what I'm I going to tell Ethan.

Something tells me Ethan is not going to believe a locker hit caused this.

What to do!
