Chapter 5 – School
On Monday it was of course school, I was dreading it. School had always been bad but since it had come out I was the one who was bullying Bonnie things were even worse, people would say things, and avoid me.
Walking into school that morning it started straight away, Lisa and Shazney walked into school as I was at my locker. Lisa went one side of me and Shazney the other. These two were the real bullies not me they were always picking on people for no reason.
"Ahh look it's Leo the Bully, Ahh please Mr Bully don't bully me because I won't sleep with you, have mercy please bully" said Lisa laughing
"Who would have thought a freak could be a bully? I bet he had to look online how to spell half the words like slut he probably didn't know what one was" Shazney laughed
I slammed my locker slut and pushed past them walking away they kept shouting insults to me as I walked; I tried my best to block them out. As I was walking I saw one of my friends Carrie Norton, I walked to her with a smile.
"Hi Carrie"
"Oh hi..." she said not making eye contact..."Sorry I have to go" she said before quickly walking away. I knew she was avoiding me, she like everyone else thought I would start on them next.
I went to my first lesson of the day that was English with Miss Hutchinson, everyone sat away from me just in case they were my next 'victim'. I took the opportunity to text Mandy under the desk but I wasn't as sneaky as I thought.
"Fitzgerald put it away now unless you want it confiscated"
Fitzgerald. Not even Leo now, the teachers had been off with me too and some like Miss Hutchinson had started calling me by my last name as if the name 'Leo' was evil and couldn't be said anymore.
"It should be confiscated" said a girl in my class "Who knows what he is texting; he could still be texting Bonnie for all we know"
"Or some other girl why is he allowed to even keep his phone he is nothing but a bully" uttered another girl
People starting chanting Bully over and over, I looked up at Miss Hutchinson she did nothing she like everyone else thought I deserved it, I couldn't cope with it I got up and ran out the class straight into Bonnie who had just walked out the toilets.
"OWWW LEO, just leave me alone you weirdo!" she shouted before running back to her class. I was going to go to the boys toilets but anyone could be in there and I couldn't cope with the teasing, so I ran into the nearest storeroom I could find knowing no one would be in it at this time. I closed the door and leaned against it taking deep breathes trying to calm down, my depression was playing up.
I took my bag off my back and opened the front pocket where my anti- depressants were, the box was covered in red writing warning how important it was the dose should not be extended because it could lead to overdosing or addiction. Ignoring the warning I opened the box and took four out hoping the more I took the more it would help. I swallowed the four with some water hoping it would give me some relief from the pain I was feeling.
