Some people thought Eli took things too far after Fitz bullied him, so I thought there should be a story behind it. This scene takes place during Try Honesty (Part One) after Eli gets kneed by Fitz.
I sat in my hearse after the altercation with Fitz. There was no way I was going back to school after that. I don't know which was more painful: the low blow I got from Fitz or the humiliation of it happening right in front of Clare.
Clare. She's one of the only people who doesn't judge me. Maybe that's why I'm so attracted to her. I hate to admit it, but I was trying to impress her, even though I told her I wasn't. I really was going to try to get along with Fitz for the sake of her, but due to the pain I'm feeling right now, that idea's history. She doesn't understand what it's like to be the victim of bullying, otherwise she wouldn't be telling me to ignore Fitz, which is way easier said than done. Some things can't be ignored.
I think the only person who does understand is Adam. He says he was bullied a lot, too. Not to mention, he got slammed into some lockers by Fitz the other day just because he was there when Fitz ripped my skull hood ornament off of Morty.
I feel like the past is repeating itself. I remember last year some football players vandalized my car. I can still see the smashed windows and the word, "freak," spray painted in big yellow letters across the car. I didn't actually see them do it, but when I saw them in the hallway later with evil smirks on their faces, I knew it was them. A few weeks later, they gave me a swirly. They stuck my head in a toilet and flushed it until I couldn't breathe. It was the most humiliating moment of my life. Oh, and whoever says toilet water is just as clean as tap water is a liar.
Maybe I am a freak. Everyone thinks so, even Clare is starting to notice. Maybe that's why I always get bullied.
I hate Fitz for making me relive the past. I really need to put a stop to his bullying, before it gets worse. I could get revenge; make Fitz afraid of me. I never got revenge, since I never really knew how, but now I have an idea, and it might just work. It was time to take a stand, because some things can't be ignored.
Please review, your comments mean a lot to me.
