WHO DID THIS TO YOU! [10]

This side of ME

Sara

"Oh no, what did I do?!" I said walking in circles in the bathroom stoolstool. "He can kill me literally and no one will know" Okay I was exaggerating can'tan't kill me but if he did no one would care.

I left the bathroom and headed straight to the class. No one was in class. But soon the group entered the class, they were eyeing me and smirking.

They are for sure planning something. Soon the class got filled with people and the teacher came in. Asher left the group and came and sat on his seat next to me.

I was doodling again. Don't blame me I was nervous, and it calmed me down a bit. " Sara John's are you paying attention!" She shouted. That freaked me out making me drop my pencil in the process.

"Yes-s Miss Liv" I stuttered. "Then come up and this this question," she said smirking trying to prove me wrong.

I stood up and went to the board. I can hear people laughing in the background.

Asher chuckled saying" This is going to be very funny". "She will humiliate her" another girl I don't know her name said.

I looked at the equation, thankfully I liked math. Yes I am a nerd there is nothing wrong with that"So first we are going to simplify this " I started and solved the equation.

The laughter and whispers stopped and I looked at the teacher." Is this correct Miss Liv?" I asked faking confusion, I was definitely correct this is easy. The shocked look on her face was epic. "Yes it is take a seat Sara," she said calmly. I chuckled slightly and returned to my seat.

The whole class was staring at me with wide mouths. I laughed inside but gave a blank face.

Asher was staring at me like I had grown a second head or something.

"Who knew a dumb person like you can do math" he said with a smirk. I was used to these words but him saying it felt like daggers were thrown to my chest. And my eyes watered but I pushed the tears back he would not see the effect of his words on me.

"Yeah and who knew a self-centred person like you could talk to someone about anything but their self" I replied trying to make him hurt like me. But he just laughed.

Lunch time came and I went directly to the benches. I can't deal with anyone today. My body is so numb. And the fever made it worse.

I was sitting on the bench scrolling through my phone. I didn't get anything to eat, I'm not hungry and I also need to lose a couple of pounds.

"You can't be fat and a slut Sara" his words are still ringing in my ear. I know I shouldn't let his words get to me but I'm sure they are true. I have gained a couple of pounds.

Suddenly I heard someone talking on the phone, and the voice seemed familiar. I paid some attention and finally recognised the voice, it was Chris.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop but there was no one so his words were very clear.

"What do you mean his condition is getting worse......, it is spreading more!" He was talking you could hear the sadness and disbelief in his voice.

He then fell to the ground crying. My hand ached to comfort him but I know this is not my place to talk. I started collecting my stuff to give him some privacy, even though he didn't know I was there he needed the privacy. But as I was standing a book fell off my hand and made some noises.

Chris quickly  got up and started searching, "who is there?" He questioned, I got scared and tried hiding.

But as I was trying to hide someone yanked my shoulder and turned me around. "What are you doing here?" He shouted. My eyes watered, I'd never heard him shout and it was scary.

"What did you hear Sara?! Are you eavesdropping on me?!" He shouted again his eyes looked scary. "I-I swear-r-r I didn't mean t-o, I sat here to avoid Ada-a-m and Alex. I'm so-r-ry" I stuttered  I was really scared I should've gone when I saw him.

He approached me and grabbed my wrist painfully. "How much did you hear?" He asked venomously, he didn't look like the Chris I know he looked so scary and dark. His usual soft tone is far gone.

"Not much only the last part I swear I won't tell anyone, just please let me go, I can't be late to home today" I pleaded. I know I looked pathetic but my body can't handle more beating and if I'm late I will for sure get some.

His features softened a bit. And he let go of my hand with a sigh. I rubbed my wrist his grip was so tight it would definitely leave a bruise. (I'm an expert after all you know)

"What did you hear?" He asked firmly. "I heard something about someone's condition getting worse and about a spread of something. I swear nothing else, you have to believe me" he gave me an unconvinced look, but then sighed.

"I swear Sara if you are lying or you told anyone I will make you regret it" he said firmly. Who did he think he is? I've told him everything I know and still, I'm on the wrong here.

"Look Chris if you don't want to believe me or whatever, just do your thing, or do your punishment and let's get over with it so I'm home on time" I don't know where all this courage came from but I gave up. I'm tired of begging I'm tired of trying, I'm just plain tired.

He looked at me with an apologetic look. "I'm not going to do anything " he looked kind of sad. Which was confusing, he was the one grabbing me two seconds ago.

"Chris let's just cut the crab okay, you and your group have been making my life hell the moment I entered this damn school, so do all you want during school time,  I don't want to be scolded when I go home. You can't ruin my school life and my relationship with my parents" It is not like my parents care about me but I don't want to be beaten when I go home. But I will not tell him this

He looked a bit taken aback by what I said but didn't reply. " I'm sorry" was all he said before leaving. Now it was my time to be confused. Why is he like this,  after all he never really did anything to me. *no he only threatened you* okay inner voice shut up.

The bell rang pulling me from my thoughts. I went back to the benches collected my stuff and went directly to class.

I always arrive before the bell ring but today when I arrived the teacher was already there. "Ms.John you didn't attend the last class and now you are late, I hope there is an reasonable explanation?" Ms. Smith asked. I looked over at the reason I was getting scolded in the middle of the class for. And they were smirking. "I'm sorry Ms Smith I had a family emergency and had to go home" I lied.

"No she didn't miss, I heard her telling her friend how she was going to ditch class and go to a cafe" one of the girls that pinned me that day said.

I looked at her in disbelief. Alex was straight out smiling now I bet he enjoyed the show.

"Sara John one hour detention after school today" the teacher stated. "But that's not tru-" I tried reasoning but the cuts me off. "Go to your seat, Now"she shouted. I groaned and went to my seat.

I'm supposed to go searching for jobs today, when I pay the bills tomorrow I won't have any money left to restock my dad beers shelf. And due to my experience this will not end well.

Asher looked at me in a strange way. "Why didn't you say what actually happened?" He asked. " Because when I tell her, Alex will get mad then he will beat and the cycle will keep repeating" I stated blankly. "Guess you have a brain after all" he smirked. I just ignored his comment and got out my notebook to draw. I always hated history, I will just go home and read everything on my own.

I tried to draw but my dominant hand hurted so much. I pulled my sleeve a bit upwards and looked  at the bruise forming in a shape of a hand due to Chris earlier 'talk'.

I let out a long sigh, forgetting who is sitting next to me. Asher looked at my wrist with an amused look. "Who did this to you?" He said faking concern.

I ignored his comment, but he grabbed my bruised hand and squeezed it painfully, I hissed but didn't utter a word.  Tears started filling my eyes, but still non fell down.

"You have to answer me when I talk to you sweetheart"he said calmly increasing the pressure on my hand. "I fell" I said between clenched teeth. "See it wasn't that hard" he said with a smile. "but I don't like lies" he said with a serious look, digging his nails in my bruised hand and increasing the power of his grip."Who did this to you? This is a hand shaped bruise, and I want to be friends with the one who did this to you"he said with a light chuckle.

He is really a sycopath.

"Don't worry you already are" I said and his smirk grew bigger.

"Ms.Johns stop talking in my class!" She shouted. I was in shock. "I wasn't talking!" I said but it came out more aggressive than I intended to. "Okay that's it 3 hours detention after school!". I scoffed "fine".

...............

I was finally released from my detention and to my surprise nobody approached me for the rest of the day.

I was searching for jobs online all day on my phone but there aren't any.

I was walking home, my car needs gas and I don't have the money for that so I just left it at school. But then I saw a poster hanging on a restaurant window that said "looking for waiters". I almost jumped from joy and went directly inside.

"Um, hi I'm here for the waitress job I saw the poster" I said greeting the girl on the counter. She looked a couple years older than me. With her dirty blonde that goes a little after her shoulders and and her gorgeous grayish blue eyes and her perfect curvy body she looked simply beautiful.

"Oh my god hi!!!" She said with a high pitched voice. Okay great and she is also friendly, this is going good.

"Okay finally I've been handling this place on my own for quite sometime and it is exhausting"she explained. I let out a small laugh.

"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself I'm Elizabeth but everybody call me liz" she said laughing slightly . "Hi liz I'm Sara, um, may I see tge manager I'm looking forward to apply for the job , I actually need it" I replied.

"You are talking to the manager itself," she said with a smile. I was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry you made a good first impression" she smiled. And I gave her one of my popular fake smiles.

We talked for a bit, I explained to her when I could work due to school and we discussed my salary. And she happily agreed to let me start tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the weekend so I'm gonna work the morning and night shifts. So I headed directly to home.

I entered the hell hole I call home, but thankfully my pathetic excuse of a father is not here. I headed to my room and locked the door behind me. I needed to take a shower because today was so long and I needed to clear my head.

I hopped into the shower after stripping off my clothes. And as usual, I turned on the hot water and let brush my bruised back, I hissed from the pain. But whenever I shower it's like this.
