I know dyslexia is very hard to overcome and I am making it easy for Bella but she is supposed to be very mild with it. She will begin to find it harder as she has to solve more problems, I have only added a few of the symptoms people with this dyslexia has as I felt it would confuse people if I had it any more complex, which is why at the moment she is finding it easier to over come. After all there is 2 months until the exams and a lot can happen in 2 months x

I looked up and saw Lauren stalking towards me. She had an evil grin on her face. I was sat down at the cafeteria table talking to Angela, Ben, Mike and Tyler. She sat down next to me and…..ignores me? I shrug my shoulders. I would rather her ignore me than make fun of me. I try and listen in on the conversation that she has just started.
She was making fun of Mike because she got a question wrong in Maths today when the teacher asked him.
'You couldn't answer to questions!' he stated
'That's only because I didn't do the homework and I didn't have time to work out the answers as she replied. You got it wrong just because you're thick,' she said.
'I got one question wrong' Mike replied looking hurt. I was tempted to step in because even though Mike annoys the hell out of me sometimes he is a friend and it wasn't fair for Lauren to be saying these things to him. However I was too scared. I didn't want the attention to be brought onto me, especially while talking about maths. I was still slightly worried from the maths lesson today why did Lauren keep trying to get me to answer? She couldn't know could she? Surely Edward would have heard his thoughts or Alice have seen something?

I suddenly realised what Lauren was up to. To begin with I was annoyed that Lauren was picking on MY Mike. However within time I realised that she was building up to something. Something that included Bella. I wanted to tell everyone though why should she get to do it? So I joined in the conversation.
'Geez Lauren, it's not as though he can't count or recognise numbers' I replied. Mike smiled at me
'Exactly' Mike grinned, and then added 'Now, that would make me thick.' Wow, I wasn't expecting that last comment off Mike. This makes it all the more easier to point out just how thick 'perfect' Bella is!
I could see out the corner of my eyes that Bella was looking down at her food. Not eating it but just playing with it. I could tell she was slightly red, and was she trying not to cry?
'Exactly Mike' Lauren replied, smiling brightly 'I suppose if someone was that thick they would have to have the teacher sat with them all lesson, helping them do the work because they couldn't even read the numbers off the page.' She scoffed. I could now see Angela looking worried at Bella, whose head was still looking down at the table. Of course the boys hadn't realised that's what happens to Bella every maths lesson, but I believe Angela has. Great one down the rest of the cafeteria to go.

I was listening intently to Laurens and Jessica's conversation. Why were they picking at Mike over this? I didn't understand. However over time I began to notice smaller thing. Bella looking down at the table upset. Jessica and Lauren looking at her with evil glints in their eyes, and Lauren today in maths with Bella what was that all about?
Was it possible that Bella struggled with maths more than she's ever let on? But she answered the question today ok. Though I found it weird the teacher skipped loads of questions to ask Bella the answer to number 17, a single numbered answer. Was it possible that Bella struggled with numbers when more than singular?
As soon as Lauren stated about the teacher sitting with them all the time I realised that they both knew something about Bella. Something that will not turn out well. I could see my friend, what I considered as one of my more closer friends was panicking and getting upset. I had to help her.
I stood up and stated I was going to the library for a bit. I asked dif Bella wanted to come. She stood up looking grateful. We started to head off.
JPOV
Dammit she was getting away. And the boys where still oblivious.
I decided to answer to Laurens earlier comment. 'Yes, that's true, but isn't that what happens to Bella every lesson…' I trailed off. All eyes trailed to Bella as the boys realised what we were getting at. Other eyes in the room were on Bella but they couldn't know what we were hinting at as of yet as they hadn't heard the entire conversation, but they will know…..
'Yes, what is with that Bella?' Tyler asked.
Bella spun around slowly, dread in her eyes, looking from one face to another.
I saw Angela mumble something into Bella's ear. Grrr she was such a bad friend always siding with Bella. Bella turned around again and started walking with Angela. She was not getting away.
Before I had time to talk again however Lauren stepped in, 'Yes what is going on Bella, answer Tyler's question'
By this point practically every eye was on her in the cafeteria 'Um,' she stumbled 'I-I-I…..'
Ha, this was great she couldn't even reply. But she couldn't get out of it now everyone was waiting for an answer, I cant wait to see people reactions. I cant wait until Edward finds out how thick she is that he come running to me just for a decent conversation.
APOV
I had to help Bella this was horrible I felt close to tears and it wasn't me that Jessica and Lauren where aiming their spiteful comments at. Bella could hardly speak she looked so scared and upset. I just wanted to get her away from here.
'So what Jessica' I said 'she struggles a bit in maths, 'I struggle in art, you struggle in English, everyone has a lesson that they find harder than all of the others. It nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact she is braver than you or I for telling the teacher she needs extra help and letting her help her even in front of everyone else.' I felt a bit bad bring Jessica's weakness of English into the conversation, however I felt this needed to be said to get across.
Lauren decided to reply to that 'Yes, but we don't need a teacher to sit with us ALL lesson do we?' Damn she had me there. I looked at Bella and said come on. We were nearly out the door when Lauren yelled,
'The only reason Bella has someone to sit with her is because she cant even count! Isn't that right Bella? You cant even right down numbers! How pathetic is that' she laughed. Bella had tears running down her face, which confirmed what Lauren was saying. The whole room was shocked into silence. Then the laughing began. Bella looked distraught.
BPOV
I felt terrible! Everyone knew. They were all laughing at me. The entire school, well apart from Angela and Ben. I wanted Edward. They all knew my secret. That's when it begun; my 2 sunny days from hell….
Everyone's found out, and its sunny for another 2 days! How bad will the bullying get? Will Edward have to reveal himself to save her?
In this chapter I made it so Jessica and Lauren was emotionally bullying Bella, they were hinting that they knew which was getting Bella all upset. What does everyone think? Should Bella just get bullied emotionally or should there be a bit of Physical as well? Tell me by reviewing please
