You shouldn't be here

I walked into the house and rested my back on the door.

I felt drained and upset.

"Like the gift I left you?" Lisa asks as she stands at the end of the hallway with a smirk.

What?

"You did this?" I ask her in shock.

"This is nothing. I just thought I should repay you for hitting me yesterday."

"But it's all a lie." I take a step forward. "I didn't do any of those things!!" 

She smiles. "But they won't believe you won't they?" 

"How could you?" 

She just shrugs and says nothing. "You see, people only believe what they want to." She pauses. "If you tell them pigs fly, and if they want to believe it, they would. If you tell them dragons exist and they want to believe it, they would. So if they want to believe that you're a slut, liar, home wrecker, bully, and whore, who am I to stop them?"

"What the hell have I ever done to you?" I could feel myself tearing up.

"Oh c'mon! Do you have to go over this topic again?!" She asks frustrated. "It's really starting to get annoying." She glares at me. "Just know, this is just the beginning." She says and turns to walk away. 

I slump on the floor and start to cry.

I really didn't do anything.

....

The next few days became worse.

Lies about me were being put up on the blog. No matter how much Chloe reported to the teachers and the posts were brought down, new ones still came out each day.

My locker was painted red. Most of my books were torn and the rest were curse words scribbled all over it.

There was a time when I walked into the class and on my table were the words,

Bloody slut! Shouldn't you be whoring else where?! Murderer!!!!

"Who did this?!" Chloe shouted on my behalf.

"Who?!" 

No one answered of course.

"You know the best thing you can do for all of us is to just leave right?" A girl shouts and I could feel the tears again.

"I didn't do anything." I spoke up. "I was r*ped. I was abused, I was hurt. I swear I didn't do anything!"

"Raven." Chloe calls my name.

"I SWEAR I DIDN'T!" I shouted and everywhere was quiet.

"Pathetic." A girl said and there were chuckles and silent laughter everywhere.

In humiliation, I ran out of the class.

I couldn't eat my lunch in the cafeteria anymore. 

There were days when I was stopped by guys who tried to harass me.

They would tell me since I could go for an older person, they weren't a problem right?

Other days I get cornered by girls. 

They'd challenge me for asking who I was to try and sleep with the 'two hottest guys in school.'

Speaking of them, I didn't set my eyes of either of them.

 I haven't seen Nick since the day he said he didn't want anything to do with me. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't want to interfere in my matter anymore because he's the only one that truly knew the truth.

As for Miles, I didn't know if he believed it and was avoiding me, or he didn't just care at all.

******

It's been two weeks since the blog incident and it was getting worse each day.

I traded my school blazer for a hoodie. In order to cover parts of my face, I had to wear a hoodie. 

The bell had just rang for last class and students were leaving the hall for their classes.

"What are you doing here?!" 

I stopped in my tracks.

Milly. The school's cheerleader and the second of Lisa. She's a bitch no doubt. And she loved to prey on the weak students here.

Ever since I've been dragged into the spotlight, she wouldn't let me be.

"I asked what you are doing here." She walks from behind me and stands in my front. 

Students gathered around, waiting to see what would happen.

I gulp. "I school here."

She laughs. "Do you have a right to say that?" She asks. "We only allow worthy people to school here." She pushes me with her hand. "But you are a slut. You are unworthy."

More students gather round.

"I have to keep my boyfriend tight, because I'm scared each day you might try to take him from me!" She shouts. "I'm scared to bring my parents for PTA, because I'm scared you'll kill them off!!!!! I'm scared to be in the same class as you because you might do something bad to me!!!" She doesn't stop shouting.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!" 

"You guys are so unfair!!" I shout back and she takes a step back. "It's infair!! You don't know my side of the story but you keep blaming me!! You keep acting like it's my fault, when you don't know what truly happened!" 

"Do we need to listen to the side of a liar?" She asks with a smirk. "What kind of lies will you tell huh?" She walks to me. "That you were r*ped? That you suffered? That you didn't kill your parents?" She scoffs. "Please." 

"Do you know how we treat liars like you?" She asks "We treat them like dirt." 

Suddenly, cold water is poured on me from my head. It soaked my hair, clothes, and shoe.

"We treat them like nothing." She says.

"Isn't that dirty water?" A student asks.

"Only the best for her." Milly says and she pushes me to the ground.

She picks my bag and pours the contents on the floor, scattering them all.

"You shouldn't be here!!" She picks up a note and tears it into pieces.

Stop it.

"We don't want a murderer among us!"

Please.

"Just leave already!!!" 

The students start to murmur around me and I couldn't take it anymore.

"What are you all doing?!" A teacher walks into our midst. "Shouldn't you all be in class?" 

"Well, Raven here suddenly acted unusual and poured dirty water on herself." Milly speaks up.

"Everyone get to class!" He shouts and everyone starts to walk away.

I also stand up and walk opposite from my class, the teacher, and everyone.

"Miss Evans!" The teacher calls me but I ignored him.

The tears had already built up and ready to fall at any moment.

I ran. I didn't know where I was going but I ran. 

I only stopped when I saw a familiar face. That's when I could only stop.

"Sweetheart." 

*******

School had just ended. Students were eager to get out and go home.

Some were rushing out, others were taking their time.

The clouds seemed misty like it was about to rain, so people were hurrying up.

THUD!!!!

A loud noise was heard. Something had dropped and whatever it was, made a noise.

Students gathered around to check what it was.

One student screamed in fear, while another fainted from shock.

In front of the school entrance, there laid the body of a girl, who had fallen from the roof.
