Early morning mist beginning to clear, dew laden grass and cobwebs, the sun rises casting orange and pink onto a thin layer of cloud, birds sing, dawn chorus, animals stir. The beautifully smelling air wakes me up as the sunlight hits my eyelids, it feels like today's going to be a good day. Looking down I start to hear small moans coming from Sky Celeste. She's so small and adorable, I sit up and pet her little head, she starts to purr quietly.

"Sky what should I wear today?" I ask as I get up and grab some clothes from the draws and closet and I throw them on the bed. She crawls to a skirt and a tank top that go very well together. " Well don't you have a good taste in clothes." 

As I flicked the pages of Elle magazine, making mental plans for how to be more skinny, my eyes rested on the coffee mug. It wasn't beautiful or elegant, it wasn't expensive, it had no sentimental value. For a moment I reached out to touch the perfect machine made coated in the same color as the lipstick of the model on the page. I had intended to drink but instead snapped my hand back to the glossy pages and returned to flicking them back and forth too rapidly to read much. 

When my alarm went off I grabbed my bag and coffee cup and I left for the bus, and so did Joanna, we got there at the same time and we were talking about random stuff and we continued it on the bus. Before we got off he said he needed to go the office for something and just head to class without him.

Just before the school started Marcus came up to me again, saying how it wasn't his fault of what happened before. I still didn't believe him but I accepted his apology thing. Walking to class I felt someone lift up my skirt and slap my ass. The stinging sensation of a hand on m butt lingers through my whole entire body. I felt disgusted, I turn around to Marcus putting his hand on my arm, But out of response, I slapped him hard too. Onc e again the sound of my slap lingers, but almost no one was around. His eyes turned and quickly he grabbed both of my wrists above my head, pinning me against the wall.

"I was just trying to make sure you were alright. I didn't slap your ass got it. I may tease you.... like this." He kisses me and then looks deeply into my eyes. " I may do things like that but... but... I didn't mean to do that... I'm sorry..." He adds and his grip slowly relaxes and he lets go and walks away.

"I'm sorry...." I say loud enough so he can hear me. I picked up my bag and I head to class. After Reading, Math, and Gym I head to my next class where my underwear was on the board. I was mortified, frozen to the spot. I felt traumatized. I couldn't believe it had happened, and in front of everybody too. I stood soaking in the cruel laughter, my head beginning to spin. But, just as I was going to stand up and take them down and play cool, Joanna stands up and takes them down and says a smart remark. 

" If no one is going to grab the sexy lacy things then I will..." and he adds when he sits down " And no I am not a perv. Come on guys, well we should all know that at least." I had to have been Marcus who took my underwear from the girl's locker room and put it on the classroom board. He wasn't sorry this morning...

"Okay, people stop with the perverted jokes and take out your books and turn to page 579." The teacher says as he comes in. My heart aches in pain, making himself do that, embarrass himself in front of everyone, but  I don't talk about it until the end of class. But I saw a girl who usually gets bullied, I tried to talk to talk to her but it just didn't work. 

Brick by brick, her walls came tumbling down. As she ran from her friends the tears in her eyes turned the rainy day into a whirlwind of grays and yellows. She slammed the bathroom door. She didn't care who saw. She just broke down, Joanna ran to the girl's bathroom and let himself in. Somehow he calmed her down, and they left ignoring everyone.  The group of girls who were with her friends, well suppose to be, they passed me talking about how that pair of panties were that girls. I started feeling even worse, I was just selfish thinking that was mine I just went to the next class.

At the end of the day, I caught Marcus alone and I apologized, but then just walked away like nothing happened as I felt people's eyes on me. And I went home with Joanna, to Sky then I had to head to work.
