I returned to school the website's stuff still on my mind. I put my stuff away and Mello came over to me giving me a candy bar. "It's late but it's my welcome back present for you," He said a bit nervous sounding. I could only guess it was the whole thing from before. I nibbled on it before heading to class. I saw the people staring and glaring because of the exchange but they couldn't do anything in the classrooms.
I let out a sigh of relief and tried not to think about what might be on the hate page after today. I didn't know how to ask, how to approach it. I sat in class waiting for an opportunity to bring it up. The class started and ended with no such openings. I at least tried to ask my friend but she looked like she was exhausted from something. I decided to not ask her. I also could not ask the teacher despite how I was called upon for an answer. Instead, I answered the correct answer to the question.
It repeated like this where I was called upon and answered the math problem. I was wrong about it. The class except for Linda and Near laughed. "See being a cheerleader and being popular doesn't mean much in reality," the teacher said and I meekly nodded my head as he called upon another person to solve it. They were correct but I just couldn't understand why. They didn't even show their work. They sat down with praise. "Now that is a good student and not a cheerleader learn from her."
I groaned in embarrassment and left running when the bell rang. I answered classes without knowing what I said after that. His words were mocking me for what I didn't have. I soon went to lunch but the news had spread I saw people whispering, some giggling some staring at me. I then grabbed my lunch and headed to the outside where no one was because it's cold. I shivered as I sat down to eat.
It was when I took a bite of the hot food, I felt warm again. That was only temporary as cold food made me even colder. I shivered but after I was done, I went to the trash can. I then dumped all my trash there. I sighed and headed to my locker. I grabbed my supplies for the next classes and homework from the previous classes before. I then went into the class early. It surprised my teacher but he allowed me to sit in my desk and do other homework until the start of his class.
I finished my English and every class before lunch but Math. I remembered his words and I just couldn't even bother with the pencil to even write my name. I was saved from it because of the bell of course. I opened my textbook for the correct class. Class started and I felt relieved at this. The others I would have felt safe too if I had not been mocked in math. The teacher called upon one who mocked me before only for them to get the answer wrong. Then the teacher called upon me and I got the answer correct. She looked mad but I was too happy to really care.
When the bell rang, I went to the next class feeling good. I was called upon and answered correctly. I kept it up until the last bell rang. I then went to the teachers whose homework I finished. I gave the completed homework. They were surprised but it was fine. After my giving, I went to the old cheerleading area. I saw Misa there waiting. "How did your test go?" I asked her.
"I'm nervous about the results but after practice, I'm going on a date," she said smiling after her nervous face vanished.
