Chapter 1

CHAPTER ONE.

LARA'S POV.

I heard the sound before the pain registered on my being. It was a splitting ache that tore from my nape, downwards to the small of my back.

"You want another?" I heard the so familiar voice. The voice which I dreaded. And the owner, was the last person I wanted to see at that moment.

A swift push, and the locker door hit my head once again. I stifled a scream. No, crying would ignite their spite.

I felt my wolf's fury, as she struggled to get out. My eyes widened.

I forced myself out of the locker, and with my head bent low, I made to move past the three bags of human tormentors.

"Not so soon, Lara," Aiden chuckled, and grabbed my wrist.

My skin felt scorched under his touch, and as I struggled to free my wrist from his grip, he tightened his hold.

"You know what to do." Another voice sneered behind me. I knew who it belonged to of course. It was one of Aiden's cohorts, Drake.

The tears spilled fastz before I could stop it. I sniffled softly, and lowered my head to a bow.

"I'm a slave, and I'm nothing in your presence, Aiden." It was a line I had memorized so well.

A line I had been forced to repeat ever since I became a student at Fred White's High school. A line which I loathed.

So many students were passing by and no one would dare to say anything to help me. They all hated me and it was something I was no longer new to anymore.

Practically,everyone took advantage of me and no matter who it was doing it the rest would follow suit to make mockery of me by calling me names,or just laughing at me.

“We should leave her now,she reeks.” Aiden called

his minions into order,still Drake shoved my head into the locker before they walked away from the scene.

I brought my head out of the locker and I was having a very serious headache as all my body was in immense pain.

My hair would have been a mess and my uniform was already wrinkled so badly I wondered how I was going to make this work.

So many girls standing in clusters laughed loudly to make fun of me.

“Such a freak,I wonder how she got here.” One of the girls muttered out.

My nose was all runny and I felt my eyes get red in embarrassment and anger, I felt so ashamed as I stood there.

I have actually gotten used to this treatment but it’s not always as easy as it would seem as each time was more painful than the last.

I didn’t even bother to try to make friends because I didn't meet up with the looks,influence,wealth or class.

I was at the very last point making it way for anyone to walk over me as they pleased.

I couldn’t take the laughter,the insults and the shame anymore,I felt like the ground should just swallow me up because I didn’t really have a good purpose anyways.

I ran into the bathroom and met some girls there.

They were the least of the girls I would want to see In a time like this as if it would only make things worse for me.

To avoid any problems I walked into a restroom and locked the door,I was going to wait till they were out before I came out.

I couldn’t see my face but I knew it was tomato red and not the blush kind but that of anger and pain. I shoved my handkerchief into my mouth as I sobbed bitterly.

I didn’t want them to hear me cry,it would just make them bully me more.

So I heard their footsteps leave, making the coast clear for me to come out

I got out of the toilet and went to the mirror,my eyes were very sore and my face was very red.

My whole body was aching and it was hard to cry when you don’t want people to know you are crying.

I tried my best to hold my tears down but it was very hard for me,the teardrops fell freely from my eyes and I had no control over it.

I felt so weak,useless and fragile and just wished everything would go away,

Every girl had a fantasy life to live,a live story and so many interesting things along the way but I never got any of that.

High School was where most girls found love,affection,twists and all sorts of amazing things.

But for me it was where I was bullied, insulted,and learnt to be so little of myself.

I washed my face calmly as the soothing sounds of the water attracted me and I had a thought of how cool my life would be if it was that free.

I knew classes would have started and I would definitely get punished for coming late to class.

But even if I went, what was the point? I hurriedly wagged my face and tried to put my wrinkled clothes into order but it didn’t work.

I was looking so rough and unkempt but I couldn’t skip classes because we might have a pop quiz and I would do anything to avoid going to the staff room for a Make-up test.

After washing my face I ran into the class and like I thought they were having a pop quiz already.

“And if I may ask where are you coming from?” Miss Deen asked with a questioning look on her face.

“Uhm …i…..was….” I stammered and the whole class bursted into laughter.

“Uhm yourself,see me after class and take your seat. I would not tolerate any form of indiscipline.” She said strictly and I ran along to have my seat.

Just as I sat down I noticed water was on my seat,it was quite a lot as it didn’t take time to soak any skirt.

I took a long sigh and looked around, Adrien smiled at his friends and they all looked at me with disgusted looks on their faces.

My fate was inequitable.
