Chapter Two
I stand on the bathroom scales. I weigh twenty kilograms and I used to weigh forty-five. My Mother is calling me, today is my first day back at school since... the shooting and murderhappened. My family made me eat breakfast and it is most certainly about to make a reappearance.
As I expected. The whole school is waiting at the gates to question me. The only person I remotely want to see is Gale.
Gale and I have been best friends for ever. He is tall with green eyes, tanned skin and light brown hair. Gale was extremely popular so I still puzzle on why he is friends with me. The instant I stepped out of the car Gale wrapped his arms around me and squeezed my bum!
Immediately I flew out of his arms frightened. Gale looked as if nothing had happen-maybe it was just a mistake? Gale was my friend, nothing else. I was spooked so I backed away and ran through the crowd to class.
It's lunch. I have been trying to avoid Gale all day so I find a seat at the edge of the court yard. I packed myself tuna so that no one in their right mind would want to sit next to me. My plan works for all of twenty seconds when I see figure standing behind me.
As I turn around I feel dread well up inside me. It's Annabel McCartney. Annabel and her posy of three are the most popular girls in year eight which also means they are pains. On top of this Annabel is Zach's ex girl friend.
"What's the matter Ava? Your boyfriend shot himself? Maybe Ava, he shot himself so he could get as far away as possible from you?" sneers Annabel. Her posy laughs their awfully fake laugh and I sob. I am to emotionally weak not to.
"Maybe girls we should take little Ava to the girl's toilets and give her a makeover!" suggest Annabel. The girls drag me through the bushes till we reach the girls toilets.
Once in the toilets they lock the door and through me onto the ground. Annabel continues to taunt me whilst the others strip me down to me underwear. Next the wash my hair with toilet water and other substances…
After that I am pretty confused as to what happens next and black out.
Ahhh! My head hurts! Somebody is whipping the hair out of my face. Could it be Annabel? The school nurse? No, Annabel is not that affectionate and the school nurse would have moved me by now.
I slowly opened my eyes. It's Zach.
