This world is not for me

Amelia Forbes

As I walked through the doors at school, I immediately knew something was wrong. Everyone I passed gave me weird looks and kept pointing at me.

When I looked away they would begin to talk in murmurs about something I couldn't hear.

My mind raced as I increased my pace. What could've happened now?

No. Please. It can't be.

Adrian couldn't have. . .

I clutched by books tightly to steady myself as I shook rapidly from head to toe. Why must everything bad happen to me? I refused to let the tears beginning to form in my eyes fall as I shoved my backpack into my locker and proceeded to look for somewhere to hide.

As I hurried away I came across Jason, Kimberly and the rest of their gang leaning against the lockers.

Kimberly eyed me as she sighted me.

"Slut." Someone coughed.

I pretended not to hear, turning away.

"Went to get yourself pregnant didn't you?"

That stopped me in my tracks. No, no. I felt my anxiety begin to skyrocket. How did they know?
