Pregnant By A Bully - Chapter 1 - Bullies
Gabriella's POV
I awoke to the sound of my alarm. I was enjoying my deep dream filled sleep. I dragged myself out of bed and into the en suite to start my shower and begin my day which I knew would be miserable. I turned the water on and let it warm up as I stripped my pjs off then I got under the water. I let the water fall over my body and thought about the day ahead. I hate school because I am bullied by a group of people who think money and looks are everything. As I don't fit into their clique I am a victim and I wasn't the only one.
Troy, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, Zeke and Jason bully me and my best friend Taylor. They have bullied us since freshman year and although Taylor and I put on brave faces at school when we get home or we are on our own we let all of our emotions show. I cry pretty much everyday when I get home from school and then I wipe my face and go down stairs for dinner. It has just become my normal daily routine.
I went into my room and got dressed. I also did my hair and put some mascara and foundation on then I grabbed my bag with all my stuff in went down to the kitchen for breakfast. My mom was in the kitchen making pancakes for breakfast. She kissed my cheek as I said greeted her. She handed me my breakfast and a drink.
"What lessons have you got today?" She asked.
"English, math, double science, Geography and History" I answered as I stuck into my breakfast.
"Well that sounds like a good day. I'm not going to be coming home tonight because I told George I would stay at his place. Is the OK?" She asked me and I nodded in response as I had a mouthful of food.
I liked it when mom stayed at George's for the night because that meant that she was getting closer and closer to him and I like George. I think he's a really nice, honest and hardworking kind of guy and he always makes an effort with me. George and my mom have been seeing each other for about six months now and once or twice a week for the past couple months she would stay at his for the night but she would always ask me if it was OK like I was her mother. When she first started asking me I had never met George so I used to tell her that I didn't want her staying there but once she introduced me to him I was more then happy for her to stay there. Between you and me I think they'll move in with each other very soon.
Don't get me wrong it's weird seeing my mom with someone other then my dad but I have got used to it. Besides it's not like my dad cares about me. He and my mom split five years ago because he couldn't keep his penis in his trousers. He hadn't even bothered to send me any birthday cards or presents since they split. That was until Christmas just passed. He sent a card which had $50 in and I called to say thank you but we didn't talk much. He made some excuse about having to rush off to work. Really he had a date.
I finished my breakfast and put my dish in the sink. I finished the last of my orange juice and put that in the sink too. I kissed my mum's cheek as I went to put my shoes on and leave for my walk to school. I only lived a five minute walk from home to school.
I got to school I went to my locker and saw Taylor already waiting there. She was holding her books for first and second period and looked down at the floor as if hoping no one would bother her. I went up to her and we greeted each other with a hug "Hey. You OK?" I asked her.
"I tell you what the next time I see that Chad Danforth I'm going to punch him so hard he'll forget his own name! Not that it would take a lot for him to forget. I doubt that ape even knows his own address" Taylor said and shook her head in anger "Anyway how are you?" She asked.
Taylor didn't like talking about what our bullies did to us when we were in school. She was scared someone would hear her and think she was weak when she is anything but. Taylor is a really strong woman and she always gave back when they dished out. We would probably talk about it later on the phone anyway so I don't want to press it.
"Yeah I'm OK. Mom is staying at George's tonight. I think it's getting serious" I stated.
"Well I'm happy for your mom she needs a nice man in her life" Taylor answered.
The two of us made our way towards homeroom.
Taylor had stayed at my place once and George gave us money for a pizza and got us a movie. The morning after he dropped Taylor home too so that she didn't have to walk. It was the third time I had met him and he wanted to make an impression and he did. Taylor thought he was amazing. She told me she liked him much more then my dad.
Taylor and I took our normal seats in homeroom at the back away from everyone. Our homeroom teacher Ms Darbus wasn't in yet but sadly for Taylor and I our bullies were here. Taylor and I looked at each other and then put our heads down hoping they would leave us alone.
"What you reading? More ways to be a geek?" Chad asked me.
"Actually I'm reading about evolution. I'm pretty sure I seen a picture in here of an ape who looked just like you and I'm pretty sure he was picking his nose. You gotta be careful when picking your nose Chad you might take out what little brain you have in there" I told him and seen his face drop into an angry one.
He opened his mouth to say something but Ms Darbus walked in. He walked to his seat with the other bullies in tow.
Troy had managed to get his way into my English class and he sat a few in front of me but always looked back and passed notes to me to irritate me. Halfway through the lesson out teacher Mr Moor handed back our graded papers from last week.
"Mr Bolton in your next paper if you don't get a C+ or above then I'm going to be having words with your dad about all the basketball. You seem to be able to have time for that but not your English class" Mr Moor said as he handed back Troy's paper.
"Well maybe if I had someone from this class who was better then I was help me I might be OK for our next paper" He said to Mr Moor "What about it Gabriella?" He questioned as he turned in his seat to look at me.
"I'd rather have cancer" I answered back and a few people chuckled.
"OK class settle down" He said and after a couple moments everyone went quiet.
"What I saw in most of your papers was the fact that you seem to blame Romeo for what happened in the end between him and Juliet. Why is it his fault?" He asked no one in particular he was just waiting for someone to answer.
English class was finished I made my to math. I was stopped by Troy and Zeke in an empty hallway "No one speaks to me like the way you did in English. You understand?" He questioned "Not so tough now without an audience are you?" He questioned again when I didn't answer him.
I tried to move past him but blocked my way " I know you have the brain of a child but you don't need to act like it" I told him as I went to walk past him "Move out of my way" I said strongly to him but he didn't budge "Move" I was really beginning to get irritated.
"Make me" He stated and moved his face closer to mine.
"Why do you have to act like such a big man in front of your friends? I bet when your on your own you just put your head down and get on with life. Scared your little friends and your fake girlfriend will dump you? Insecure much?" I asked but it just made him madder.
He slapped the books out of my hand and when I bent down to get them he nudged me lightly so I fell over and he walked off with Zeke laughing.
I walked into math class a little late "Sorry I'm late I got held up" I said and took my seat next to Taylor.
The rest of the day was uneventful except at lunch when Sharpay 'accidentally' bumped into Taylor and spilt her drink all down Taylor's top but apart from that nothing else was said or done to us. I know being constantly bullied did bother Taylor and it made her angry but she always put on a brave face and had a smart remark for when they said something to insult her.
I got home I took my shoes off and went into the kitchen. I picked up an apple and saw a note on the kitchen counter with my name on it;
Gabriella
Just reminding you that I've gone to George's tonight. I'll be home tomorrow after work and we can go out for dinner with George if you want. I know he wants to see you as it's been a while.
There's food in the freezer for dinner and brought some more hot chocolate before I left it's in the cupboard above the kettle. Call me or George if you need anything.
Love you lots
Mom xx
I screwed the note up and put it in the bin and decided what to have for dinner today. I looked in the freezer but we didn't have much choice as it wasn't shopping day until Saturday and today was only Wednesday. I guess I was just going to have to make do with whatever we had. I grabbed a cheese pizza and put it in the oven knowing I wouldn't eat a whole pizza. I never did but there wasn't anything else that seemed appealing.
It didn't take me long to eat my dinner so after washing up I started my homework but that didn't take me long either. It was only 6pm and I had nothing to do. I decided to call Taylor.
"Hello?" Her mom said as she answered the phone.
"Hi Mrs Mckessie it's Gabriella, is Taylor there?" I asked.
"She's just gone to the store with her dad. I'll get her to give you a call when she gets back" She said.
"OK thanks Mrs Mckessie bye" I said.
"Goodbye Gabriella" She said back and we hung up.
I went up to my bedroom and closed all the curtains and went into my en suite bathroom and started running a bath. I went back into my bedroom and grabbed my towel and decided to get undressed and through the days clothes in my laundry basket. I know some people may find it weird that I shower every morning and had a bath ever night but when your asleep you got a sweaty and sticky and during the day again you get sweaty and sticky. I can't stand it.
I looked in the mirror and saw a purple bruise on my elbow. It must have been when Troy pushed me over on the floor today. I looked down at the floor as I remembered what had happened. A tear fell down my face and I tried wiping it away but more came.
