Chapter 31: Too Soon

So the week went by in a flash. I was hoping it would take longer but sadly it didn't.

It was a bit awkward for the week but it eventually wore out when it was time for Thanksgiving. My favorite was probably the pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie. With mom and Carl we didn't have enough money for Thanksgiving or just food.

I woke up today and just laid in bed. Why does it feel like today is going to be bad?

Luke dealt with it. He said the mess with the picture was 'all sorted out'. Sorted out my ass. They'll still talk. They'll still bully.

I sighed and rolled out of bed. Let's hope this thing blows over.

Zack insisted on coming on the drive with us to school. I said it wasn't necessary but he didn't think so. When we start driving- thankfully we weren't being driven by Jesse- Zack decided to talk.

"So Lidia how are you? You know you can stay home if you'd like."

I inwardly groaned. I won't say I have dealt with worse because it'll be a lie but this is nothing compared to Carl. "I promise it's fine. I want to deal like this head forward and not act like a coward and turn around." I stated.

I think James smile a little. I don't know he was in the front seat.

"Okay then."

"Lidia, I'll walk with you guys inside. I need to talk to the principal. The boys will stay with you to and from classes and you will sit with them at lunch. All right?" Zack said.

Great. Right as I was able to walk on my own and not be a cliché high school bully and sit with my friends, I have to go back to not being with my friends. Yay.

Honestly I was feeling jittery. Everyone will treat me different obviously but that's okay. I have my brothers with me and they'll probably beat someone up. I smiled at the thought.

Zack put on his sunglasses that matched his outfit perfectly. He was wearing a blue blazer with a white shirt and black dress pants. Only the best for my brothers. We stepped out of the car that cost more than my old house and into the fresh air that was swirling with rumors.

We looked pretty cool. Like the Mikelson family if you know what I mean. Did I mention I binged the whole series Thanksgiving break? Zack was in front with his blazer blowing behind him and the Twins on each side and me in the middle.

The doors flew open as we walked in with our heads high. Zack took us straight to the principals office. It felt like the whole student body was staring at us. Zack ignored them all while Jesse and James gave an indifferent face that spoke volumes.

"Sit here and don't move until I come back out." Zack said. James stood while me and Jesse sat in the chairs. There was another kid in here. I never actually talk to him. All I knew is that he was a trouble maker that thought he was better than everyone else. Kind of like my brothers except more annoying.

Me and Jesse had a mini conversation while James continued to stare out the window. I'm pretty sure they were glad to be getting to class late.

Zack returned ten minutes later and motioned for us to speak with him. "So the idiot principal still doesn't know who did it. But as I said earlier, the Twins will be with you every minute there is not a class going on. Me and Luke have our best ha- tech guy on it. Be good." He kissed the top of my head and left.

"Well let's get this shitty day going." Jesse said, obviously trying to make me laugh at this miserable situation.

I smiled at him but it didn't reach my eyes. He's right. It is a shitty day.

It was obvious that my peers were afraid of Zack so as he left that's when the whispering begun. Yay for me. Jesse and James were practically my bodyguards. They were on either side of me and we were walking in unison.

I nervously looked around. Jesse must've sensed my nerves and nudged me in the shoulder and pointed out some girls who's makeup looked like an orange blanket. Those type of people is what give me the creeps along with people like Carl. I snorted and Jesse's face had one of contentment.

They dropped me off and when I walked in the class was silent. Deathly silent. I quickly rushed to my seat and just sat there, staring forward. As I suspected everyone was looking at me, pointing at me, or just giving me side eyes. How rude.

The class ended just as soon as it began. Frankly I think I didn't even learned anything. But oh well.

Some kids were talking a little too loudly and before my brothers could respond Audrey intervened. "You think you're all that don't you? Do you even know the whole freaking story? No! You don't so don't come in here and start talking about what you don't know."

I looked at her and smiled and for the first time I actually saw her smile back. This friendship is going to last, I can tell. I mouthed the words 'thank you' and she nodded and left.

The classes went on and so did people's mouths. It amazes me how people talk about something they know nothing about. They don't know me, they don't care what that does to a person.

Lunch was fine. It just felt like when the Florian kids were here just intensified. The kids who sat here normally did act normal with a few glances my way but that's expected. Some of the family friends talked to me but thats about it. Ian smiled at me whenever I looked over at him. I think I would've fainted if I wasn't aware of everyone else.

Caden picked us up. The Twins and him mostly talked and I just stared out the window and gazed at all the scenery. Once or twice I would see Caden sneak a glance at me through the mirror but other than that no one talked to me. Like always.

I went into the kitchen for a difference of scenery and did my homework. I watched as the cook, well cook. She was a nice old woman. We didn't talk much other than that one time I told her she can have the night off. She told me that dinner would be Cheese Pizza. Pretty good dinner if you ask me.

That dinner night I didn't even have time to talk since it was as good as you think. Besides it was okay since no one spoke a word to me. Well besides Luke doing the mandatory saying. 'How was your day?'

That night I laid in my bed. The white noise machine was on but it still didn't help. I looked up at the ceiling that was coated in darkness and couldn't help but think that tonight I would have a nightmare. A lone tear streaked down my face. Why me? Out of all the people in the world why me?

Since I couldn't sleep I decided to write in my journal.

Dear diary,

Today was the day we get back to school. It went as expected. Everyone talked about me but what did I expect? Nothing else important happened.

Do you know why I'm like this? What I did to deserve this? I don't. I don't know why this was me. Why God chose me for this. But it's okay because I know I'll end up in Heaven. Either it be now or later. Sometimes I wish it were now. Well I'll tell you how tomorrow goes.

Love,

Lidia White
