Author's Note: I'm writing chapter 2 before chapter 1 is published so if there was any criticism, so sorry that I haven't read it yet. I'm gonna do my best to make this chapter a lot longer than the first one.

Chapter 2: Nerds & Bullies

Beep beep beep beep

The sound of an alarm clock awakens Audrey from her sleep. Shutting off the alarm, a smile spreads across her face.

"Oh my gosh, it's the first day of school!" The red-haired girl said, skipping out of her bedroom.

School was something Audrey hated being parted with. She made a vow to herself that someday, she will become a teacher, so that could always be in her favourite place, almost all the time.

She skipped down the stairs, only to be halted by an angry mother. "Where the fuck do you think you're going"

"It's the first day of school. I've only told that school starts September 8th about ten times" Audrey explained.

Her mother only shook her head. "School is a waste of fucking time. I never fucked with school, and look at me. I turned out fine. So I suggest you either get your little ass back in bed, or fucking walk yourself, as there is no way, in hell, that I'm driving you."

Audrey walked back up the stairs and into her room. Her mother and her had a terrible relationship. Her mother was a high school dropout, a drug addict, and alcoholic. Audrey feared her mother. Her mother would always verbally abuse her and even psychically at times. Audrey tried her best to not let it get to her and pulled out her bible and stared reading. She still had about an hour and a half before school started, so she knew she wouldn't be late.

When she was finished reading, she had a shower, got dressed and headed to school. On her way, she her name behind her was called.

"Hey, Audrey!"

Audrey looked behind her to see her best friend, Tiffany waving to her with a big cheery smile.

"Hey Tiffany, how's it going?"

"Wonderful! I'm so happy school is finally starting! I can't wait to see what our new teachers are like!" The blonde girl said, with a smile wider than a watermelon.

"Me too, but I am a little nervous. I don't know my way around the new school, and I'm afraid that I'm gonna get bullied again. I just hope I can make some new friends this year." Audrey said, with a slight frown forming across her face. Tiffany noticed this and pulled her into a hug.

"I'll do my best to make sure no one messes with you. You're my best friend, and I will do anything to protect you." She said, with a brave look on her face.

"Thanks Tiff, without you, I don't know what I'd do. Just try not to resort to violence, not only do I not wanna see you get expelled, it's just wrong." She said, smiling slightly.

"I promise it'll be a last resort!"

They stopped hugging and walked until they were at the front doors. Taking a deep breath, they pushed open the cold doors and walked into the building. The building was gigantic. The entrance felt like it was as wide as a football field, with multiple hallways and a dozen classrooms in each. Audrey just stared with eyes as wide as saucers.

"Oh my God, this place is huge." Tiffany exclaimed, with a huge smile on her face.

"I know. How are we ever going to find our classes?" Audrey asked, a bit of worry in her voice.

Tiffany looked around and saw a table, with two teachers handing out schedules to students. "That must be where we find our classes." Tiffany assumed.

They walked toward the line and waited, for what felt like hours, to get their schedules.

When they finally got their schedules, they looked over them, realizing they had every single class together.

"This is going to be the best school year ever!" Audrey cheered. Maybe this year would be different after all. With Tiffany in every class, they'd be able to work with each other at all times, and Audrey wouldn't have to worry about bullies. Tiffany smiled as she watched her friend jump with joy. She always wondered how anyone in their right mind could bully Audrey. She was smart, pretty, friendly, she never talked down on anyone and never wished harm on a single soul. She was the nicest person she knew, and saw her as the perfect role model.

As they walked down the hall, they passed the washrooms.

"Hey Audrey, I gotta use the washroom, be back in two seconds"

"Ok, sounds good!" Audrey said as she watched her friend enter the washroom, leaving her alone in the hallway. She turned to lean on a locker, only to run into a group of girls.

"Hey, watch it, you fucking runt." A brunette snapped.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't hurt anyone, did I?" Audrey said, with worry in her voice.

"The only one hurt is going to be you, you little bitch." A tall blonde girl yelled. "What's a puny little shit like you doing in high school? You should be in elementary, learning your 123s." She said, as the whole group laughed. Audrey was going to say something, only to be pushed from behind. She fell hard to the ground, with tears flowing through her eyes. She looked up to see a Mexican girl staring right at her, with an evil grin.

"What a fucking loser, I heard she's the one who sat in the library playing with her fantasy card games through middle school." The group laughed as one girl kicked Audrey back down.

"What's the matter? You gonna fucking cry? Maybe you should go back to kindergarten and have nap time, you little fuck." The brunette laughed. Audrey tried standing back up, only to be repeatedly kicked down by the group of girls. After what felt like an eternity, they finally stopped, leaving a crying, and bruised Audrey curled up in the hallway.

"Not gonna stand up? You just gonna lay there like the little, fucking bitch you are?" The Mexican girl asked, with anger in her voice. Audrey wanted to say something, but was too afraid. Instead, she gave no respond, as she whimpered and weeped on the cold floor.

"Whatever, let's get the fuck out of here, I wanna get high." The blonde girl said, with the others agreeing. They walked away and left Audrey laying there.

Tiffany was in the bathroom washing her hands when she heard someone talking in the hallway.

"Whatever, let's get the fuck out of here, I wanna get high." She quickly dried off her hands and left the bathroom, to find only a whimpering Audrey crying on the floor.

"Audrey!?" Tiffany screamed. "What the hell happened?"

Author's Note: There's chapter 2! I hope you enjoyed it! I bet you can guess who the Mexican girl is. Anyway, there is going to be a lot of bullying and abuse in this story, so if these kinds of stores aren't your thing, I highly recommend you stop reading.
