Chapter 3: Embarrassment

"Oh my God! Look at them!"

"That's so gross!"

Ellie heard the comments, and exclamations, before she even turned the corner. She heard the snickers, the giggles, and the whispering. Then she noticed people eyeing her funny.

"Hey!" Ellie turned around to see a girl, about her age, coming up to her.

"What?" She asked bluntly.

"Have you ever heard of 'Club Bias'?" The unknown girl asked. Ellie then thought for a moment. The name of the club sounded familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she heard it from. A few seconds passed before she realized that, that was the place Marco was telling her about.

"Isn't that a gay bar?" She said unsurely.

"Duhhhhh!" The girl said nonchalantly. Ellie just stared at her. She still didn't get it. "Maybe you and me should get together sometime, and go there."

"I'm not gay! I don't go that way!" She exclaimed. The girl laughed.

"You could've fooled me!"

Ellie glared at her. "What the fuck is that suppose to mean?"

"Go look around the corner, and then you tell me," she said grinning.

As Ellie began to slowly walk around the corner, she had a flashback of Manny, at the party. Her breathing began to quicken, as her worst fears were revised.

When she looked upon the walls, the room began to spin, and she could feel her face burning with the combination of anger, and embarrassment.

"OH MY GOD!" These were the only words that she could let out as she looked at the walls. They were decorated with pictures of her and Manny having sex. Ellie clutched her stomach, as she sanked to her knees. She felt as if she was going to throw up. She heard the laughter, and realized everyone was pointing and gawking at her. She put her hands over her ears, trying to block out all the laughter, jokes, and comments.

At that moment she heard a loud, long scream. She watched as Manny came out of nowhere, and start to rip the pictures off the wall. She was screaming, cursing, and crying all at the same time. Then she saw Sully walk over to her, and grab her arm, and then slapped her. Hard. The slap was loud, and Ellie thought she heard almost everyone draw in a sharp breath. Sully the started to shake her. Hard.

Just then, everyone heard a loud, crusty voice. "What is going on her?" It was Mr. Raditch. Everyone then proceeded to walk to class. All except Ellie, Manny, and Sully. Raditch then picked up one of the pictures that was on the floor.

Ellie watched as he raised an eyebrow. Then a stupid question escaped his lips. "Is anything wrong here?" Sully shook his head. "Well, could any of you explain this?" The three stared at each other. Raditch then shook his head. "All of you in my office. NOW." He stated firmly.

A/N: Sorry if so short. I'll have the next 3 chapters up, next week.
