A/N: Sorry, this is probably a boring chapter with some background on Lindsay's school day and the taunts that came with it. No Danny yet but I promise he will make an appearance soon.
Oh, and thanks for the reviews. I really appreciate them!
It was the first day of classes in Lindsay's sophomore year and she couldn't be dreading it more. She hadn't seen anyone from school since that night at Steve's party and she liked it that way but all that was about to change. She used to walk with Madison to school everyday but now she had to walk alone.
When Lindsay walked into the school she felt like all eyes were on her. She heard whispers as she walked and saw some fingers point at her. People called her nasty names and some one even pushed her hard enough to knock her off her feet. Others would 'accidentally' bump into her, some gave her the finger but she always felt like all eyes were on her.
At one point she couldn't take it anymore, everyone's stares were like needles and she started to panic so she ran to the bathroom. She found the bathroom empty so she went into a stall and took out a razor that she kept in her bag, found a place on her wrist and made a small cut. She felt an instant release and after cleaning up she walked back out to the halls and went to her first class, math with Mr. Harper.
Mr. Harper was a black man about mid thirties with a kind face. She felt some eyes on her as she walked in and maybe even heard someone cough 'whore' but she couldn't be sure if it really happened or if it was just in her mind.
Next she had biology with Mr. Mason, a tall white man, late twenties, thick black hair with dimples. He was new and instantly all the girls favorite. When Lindsay walked in she saw that Madison was in her class and was flirting with the teacher. When Madison saw Lindsay walk in she coughed out 'whore!' Lindsay was sure of it this time because even the teacher looked from Madison to Lindsay. Thank God Mr. Mason put them in alphabetical order so she was nowhere near Madison.
After Biology, Lindsay moved on to Latin with Ms. Minnick. This class was something her parents strongly encouraged her to take so she could prepare for the SAT's. Ms. Minnick was a tall woman in her 50's with graying black hair. She reminded Lindsay of a witch and the woman's crabby attitude did nothing to dissuade that. There were a few people from the party in that class but no one made any comments to Lindsay's relief.
Lunch was next which got Lindsay some stares, whispers and a few people cut her in line. Lindsay bought her lunch, then went to the back corner of the dining hall and sat by herself. She felt people looking at her and got some paper thrown at her but nothing too bad.
Lunch period was split with a mandatory ethics class which Lindsay had with Mrs. Anderson, a short red head about late thirties. Madison was in this class with her again and so was her friend Mercedes who was Steve's sister. She made sure not to sit near them; luckily it wasn't alphabetical because Mercedes last name was Nash. She saw them passing notes to each other with the occasional glance in Lindsay's direction.
History came next with Miss. Aronson. She was short with blond hair, late twenties with a southern twang. She was always the guy's favorite teacher; they thought she was hot. Madison's new best friend Lexie came in with a few of their other friends Jackie, Annabel and Zoë. They saw Lindsay and started whispering to each other and laughing. She sat in the back corner of the room away from everyone but she could feel the stares.
For sixth period, Lindsay had Law which was a class her dad implied he'd be strongly disappointed if she didn't take; which meant she had no choice. The teacher for that class happened to also be a professor at NYU so he asked to be called Dr. Vans. He was about fifty with graying hair and a tired face.
Finally, Lindsey had advanced English, another parent requirement with Mrs. Goldstein. Mrs. Goldstein was a short, round woman about mid forties with an always happy attitude. Lindsay felt some people looking at her and even thought she felt a spit ball bounce off her back. She ignored it and tried to pay attention as best she could.
When her English class was finally over Lindsay was relieved, she could finally go home and get away from everyone. On her way out she got a few more stares, a push or two and from Madison she was called a bitch.
She walked home slowly so she could think. Going through her day she started to feel lonely and began to feel sorry for herself. When she got home she went straight up to her room and took out her razor and made another cut. She then started her homework.
When she was called down for dinner she got the inevitable questions about her first day of school which she answered with little enthusiasm.
Please, Please review. I want to know what people think.
