Chapter 3
I couldn't believe it! I was going on a date! With Artie! I remembered the scene well, Artie and Puck had sung outside, to get money. I had smiled at them and next thing I know Artie asked me out!
I smiled a great big smile, until I felt someone slam into a locker. Someone slapped me in the face, making my eye feel like it was going to pop out of my skull.
"You SLUT!" I heard a girl scream. I opened my eyes to see a girl in front of me. I recognized her to be a part of the lower Cheerio's group. She punched me in the nose and I slithered down onto the ground.
"What are you doing?" I yelled, tears coming out of my eyes. She started trying to claw my face, when someone pulled her away.
"Leave Darren alone! He's mine!" She screamed.
"Who's Darren?" I asked. She gave me a look of pure hatred. Then she called me a VERY unfriendly word. She turned around and walked off, leaving me crumpled on the ground. The person who had held her back came up to me. My eyesight was blurred, but I could tell that it was Quinn.
"Are you okay?" She whispered. She knelt down to help me up. I nodded. I started to cry.
"I don't even know a Darren. I don't know what she's talking about." I whispered. Quinn started helping me to the nurse's office.
"Well, you have a pretty bad reputation. I mean your known for-" Quinn started. I looked at her, sadness showing in my eyes. Should I tell her?
"There lies." I whispered, looking away. Quinn was silent. Did she believe me? Doubtful. I brushed back a piece of hair.
"I've only kissed a few people, and I've only had IT once. With Artie. Santana said the lies make me popular. So I just go along with them." I said with a simple shrug. At that, Nurse Mackston walked in.
"Well someone must have run into a door again!" She said with a laugh. I gave a half smile and nodded. I turned back to Quinn. She was still frozen in shock.
"Don't tell anyone. It will make everybody hate me. Artie wouldn't be able to stand it. At least, that's what Santana says. I guess he likes me that way." I pleaded. She looked at me and gave me a tight smile and nodded. She stood up and walked off.
"Well Ms. Pierce, You scratched your left eye, so your vision may be blurred a little today, you blooded your nose, and your right eye is blackened. Be careful next time, okay?" She cheerfully said. I nodded and walked off. I walked down the hallway, still in a daze. Today couldn't be any worse.
