4-inch heel [15]

Sara

My back was aching from sleeping on the uncomfortable bench yesterday.

I was now walking to school. I need my fricking paycheck as soon as possible. I can't with these daily walks.

I was wearing the same clothes I slept with. They were crinkled, but again, what choice did I have?

Get taken advantage of or go to school with crinkled clothes. I would choose option two. I don't know about you guys.

I entered school, and everyone's eyes were on me. Fricking Great! How I love human attention!

"Hey, weirdo, have you ever heard about an iron?" I boy asked, shoving me to the lockers. I ignored him, but another girl placed her leg in front of me, tripping me.

I fell to the ground, hitting my already bruised knee. I groaned at the sudden interaction. My belongings were scattered all around the floor.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there, "the girl said between laughs. Liar. I just looked at her, rolled my eyes, and started collecting my stuff from the ground while they surrounded me.

Her amused expression changed in seconds to anger. "Did you just roll your eyes on me?" She asked. "Uhm," I hummed.

She came closer to me and stood in front of me. "Apologize, weirdo," she demanded. "In your dreams girl," I said, still collecting my stuff.

My whole project was on the ground now because I'm not apologizing. She stepped her 4-inch heel on my hand. I groaned at the pain.

Look, my dad once stapped a nail in my hand. So you see, this shouldn't be as painful, but it is. But little does she know I can go like this for hours.

"APOLOGISE B****" she shouted. "Look miss perfect I don't care who you think you are but I'm not apologizing for nothing, so you can pull your head from your ass and get off me," I told her removing her foot from me and almost making her lose her balance and standing up.

"What did you just say to me b****?" she screamed, making me wanna pull out my ears. "You heard me loud and clear," I said back.

She came closer and collected my hair in a fist. This girl! "Take your filthy hands off me right now, Miss Perfect," I spitted.

"Or what are you gonna cry me a river?" she mocked.

This girl is getting on my nerves. I was about to give her peace of my mind before someone rudely interrupted us.

"Leave her alone, Chloe," Asher said. I turned to him, annoyed. "I don't need your help, Asher. I can handle myself just fine," I snickered back.

"I'm trying to help. There's no need to be a bi*** about it. If you can handle yourself so good, why aren't you doing anything instead of letting her kick your ass? " he said back, annoyed.

" Oh my god, don't tell me we slept with a sl*t like that," Chloe said (screamed) with a disgusted look.

Okay, girl, now you got my attention. That word made my blood boil. Who does she think she is?

At that moment, something in me just snapped, I grabbed her hand and twisted, making her fall to the ground whimpering. I kneeled to her level and grabbed her hair, and yanked it back. She screamed in pain. It was like music to my ears.

Some of her friends came and tried getting me off her." You step one more step toward me, and I will relocate your hands understood," I said, and she immediately backed off.

I yanked Chloe's hair once more and made her make eye contact with me. "This is a warning Chloe the next you think of calling me that name again I will make sure you don't have hands to apply that cakey makeup of yours understood?" I asked. I had enough of their bullshit. She nodded her head quickly, tears streaming down her face.

I let go of her and saw everyone's eyes on me. But Chris was drawing holes in me. The whole squad had an amused expression on their faces.

It was my first time putting someone in place. And damn did it feel amazing.

"That was hot," Adam said out of nowhere, earning him a smack from Asher. I just rolled my eyes at them and started walking to the class.

Someone stopped me before I could go far. "If you can do all that, why do you always let us get over you?" He asked in confusion. Firstly, you are a 6ft tall man who can put me in his pockets. Secondly, I don't wanna get suspended. But I didn't say that, obviously. "Never felt the need to, and I can't get suspended," I answered. "And get your hands off me, Asher," I said, yanking my hand from his grip and walking past him to the class.

My first lesson was physics, which is one of my favourite classes. Don't get me wrong, I despise physics, but it is one of the few classes I have alone.

The bell rang, indicating the end of the class. I quickly collected my belongings and went toward my next lesson. I really really didn't wanna go, but I have to.

I had history next, and it was with the whole squad. Ughhhhhhhh. I entered the class to see everyone's eyes on me. What do they want now?

I sat on my seat, and Asher was already there. But he didn't even glance at me. He looked extremely tired he didn't even notice that I had arrived. His brown locks were a mess. He had bags under his eyes and looked like he hadn't slept at all.

I took a glance at the rest of the squad, and they looked the same. How didn't I notice that earlier this morning?

You were too busy fighting that girl.

Thanks, inner voice, for the unwanted opinion.

A few minutes later, the teacher entered the class. "Hello, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend," he said. Liar. "So I'm going to assign you guys a project. It is going to be 20 per cent of your final grade. I want you guys to write about an important historical figure and what you think makes him so important." The class groaned in frustration.

"I will be putting you in groups of four. So starting with..." He trailed off telling people their groups. "And finally Chris King, Asher Black, Alex Carter and Sara Hopes." My eyes immediately shot up.

No, I can't work with them. That's a complete nightmare. I quickly raised my hand. "Yes, Miss Hopes, what do you want?" He asked, annoyed.

"Can I work alone?" I asked. "No, you can't, Miss Hopes, it is a group project," he addressed, leaving no room for arguments. Ughhhhhhh. Can this day get any worse.

"And I forgot to say I want the project on my desk by Thursday morning," he added. I have 4 days to complete an incredibly long assignment, but at the same time, with these people, this can't be true.

I looked at them, and they looked amused. What is so funny about this?

"You can start now," he announced before laying on his seat. Gosh, how I hate this man.

Asher looked at me with a smirk. "Well, well, well, isn't this going to be fun?" he said. I didn't reply and looked at Chris. "So who do you guys want to write about?" I asked. "I don't know. Do you have any suggestions, guys?" Chris asked no-one in particular.

"What about we let Sara do the project, and we just write our names under it?"Alex suggested. I hate that boy, but I actually agree with him. " I don't mind," I answered. "See, it's settled," Alex said, returning to his phone.

"There is no way I'm letting this dummy decide my grade," Asher hissed. Oh, please, I'm smarter than you guys combined.

"Don't call me a dummy, you douchbag," I hissed back. "Watch your mouth, Sara. I'm not in the mood to beat you up, " he said back. His whole posture changed. He scared me to my core. He is just too much like him.

"Oh please be my guest, I'm not scared of you" I said faking confidence. He letted out a deep chuckle. "That's not what your hand is saying," he said amused. I looked down at my hand and it was shaking and my nails were digging in my palms. This stupid habit. Whenever I'm scared my hands shake uncontrollably and I dig my nails in my hand to avoid crying.

"Whatever"i huffed and started snapping the band on my wrist. I started snapping it hard to try and stop thinking about this. Why does he have this much effect on me? It is not like he has even hurt me as close as a fraction of what Dad did.

I took my notebook and started doodling. I was scared. Why do I have to be so naive?

Dad is right I am weak.
