Dear Bully,

I accidently bumped into causing your books to fall,

now you're mad.

I apologize about twenty times.

I even tried to pick up the books for you,

But instead you kicked me in the stomach and the books slid across the hall.

Now you're really mad.

.......

The girl scrambled up to her feet clutching her stomach. She run towards the empty hall where the old janitors closet is. She planned on hiding in there, but unfortunately her plans failed.

The boy reached for the girl, only to clutch a hand full of her long her. Luckily for her, her hair feels as soft as silk causing it to slip out of his hand. He followed as she run towards another direction, the locker rooms.

The girl took a risk and looked back. Frightened by his nearness she kicked her foot at the area where the sun don't shine, and he fell to floor swearing. She gasped shocked that she actually hit him back.

" Fuck! You little bitch, you're going to get it!" the boy hissed. The girl taking this as a chance to run.

The girl run into a locker room and hid inside a toilet stall. Her heart was beating so fast that it just might pop. She covered her mouth to try to block the sounds of her heavy breathing and crying. Please lord, she thought to herself, everywhere I go pain follows just give me a break.

The boy slams the locker room doors open, and grunts loudly.
"Daniela I know you're in here, just show yourself." he shouts his voice getting closer to the stalls.

The girl bits her lip to stop her whimpers form being loud. She could hear as the boy slams each stall door open getting closer and closer. She embraces herself for what lies ahead.

The boy slams the last stall door open reveling in the girl standing on the toilet. "Ha did you really think you can hide from me?" he smirks yanking the girl off the toilet, and over his shoulders.

"Let me go! Please Nathan let me go! " The girl begs feeling pathetic as she kicks her legs hitting his stomach.

" No!" the boy says walking to the back of the locker room ready to make her pay.

Then suddenly the coaches office door opens. They both freeze watching the door. The football coach walks out buckling his pants, and right behind him is Mr. Roberson pulling up his pants.

The boy drops the girl onto the floor while putting the pieces together. "Dad? Mr. Karr? " he mutters completely shocked.

Mr. Roberson and Mr. Karr both looked up their smiles no longer on their faces. "Oh hey s-son..." Mr. Roberson replies his hands shaking, for he knows he has been caught cheating.

"What are you doing here?" the boy's voice getting louder as he steps closer to his father.

"I-uh... I just came to check up on your school work." Mr. Roberson lies.

The girl stands up from the floor ignoring the pain. She stumbles back, having to lean against the locker for support. She too is completely shocked. Mr. Roberson is not only cheating, but with a man who is a teacher here.

"You liar!" the boy snapped his voice booming through the room. With that he swung his fist into his father's face.

Mr. Roberson fell onto the floor hitting his head onto the concrete. Slowly his vision blurred out and he became unconscious. Beside him Mr. Karr tried to wake up.

"Nathan look what you did!" Mr. Karr yelled trying to awake Mr. Roberson "Harry!Harry, baby! Wake up! ... He's not waking up!"

The boy stare down at his father and shrugged. Right now all he can think about is how much he hurt his mother, and how he's constantly tearing their family apart. Then behind them a phone rang.

The girl jumped up at the loud ring tone of her phone. She quickly recovered and looked at her phone. She instantly smiled.

"Hello? " the girl said into the phone.

"Hi Dany! " Kayla squealed from the other side of the phone.

"Hello Sunshine, aren't you supposed to be in school?" the girl asked looking at the scene in front of her. Mr. Karr lifted Mr. Roberson over his shoulder out the locker room in panic. The boy stood there looking down at his hands.

"Yeah, but I had a dentist appointment and now I get to stay home the rest of the day. " Kayla said proudly.

"Lucky you I'm stuck in this school.... " the girl said looking at the boy who was now looking at her. " So did you get any teeth pulled out?"

"Yeah a bottom one, it still hurts." Kayla pouted.

The girl giggled imagine her sister's face. " Yeah, but I'm sure the pain will go away."

"No, it's going to hurt forever. Well unless you come and see me." Kayla said missing her sister.

"One day." The girl replied with pain in her chest. She promised her sister she will visit, and she's always kept her promises.

"Why not today?" Kayla asked.

"Sunshine you know I wish I can see you, but sadly I can't see you right now." the girl said a tear left her eye down her cheek.

"Why not, I miss you." Kayla cried.

"I miss you too love, but I can't see you now." the girl said covering her mouth before a cry can escape. She hated hearing her sister cry, but she can't cheer her up now.

"How about tommorow."  Kayla begged.

"Nope, not tommorow either." the girl said feeling her heart breaking.

"But Dany you promised..."

"I know I promised Kayla, but this time I can't keep it..." The girl said tears falling down her cheeks. She could feel the boy's eyes on her as she looked away.

"P-please Dany don't leave me here, I want to be with you." Kayla cried her eyes soaked.

"I love you." The girl said and quickly hung up. She could take it no more,  the pain in her chest was eating her. Her legs gave up and she fell the ground, as her crying was no longer a secret.

The boy looked at the girl as she cried on the floor. He sat down next to her, placing his head on his knees just like her. He had just discovered that his alcoholic father was having an affair with a man - not just any man his football coach - which would destroy his mother if she found out. Who should I tell her? Should I make my pathic Dad tell her? Should I not even tell her and pretend that nothing is wrong with my family? He thought to himself.

The girl wiped her eyes and look at the boy. She feels mad about what happened with him and his father. Mrs. Roberson is a good woman and does not deserve to be treated like that. The girl carefully placed her hand on the boy's shoulder trying her best to be comforting. As she placed her shake hesitant hand on his shoulder, she suddenly felt nervous. Did he still want to hurt her?

The boy turned his head and looked at the girl. He shrugged off her hand and looked at her sadden face. Then suddenly he pulls her closer to him and gently places her on his legs wrapping his large arms around her.

The girl is stiffens when she feels the boy's arms around her. What is he doing? Why is he hugging me? She thought to herself. Then slowly she wraps her arms around him too.

They both sit there in silence taking in everything that just happened. The girl's face in the crock of the boy's neck, and his head resting on hers. Together they sit there while their problems are slowly tearing them apart.

.........

Love,
Me
