Anna's pov My Dad stood in front of me with his hands crossed waiting patiently for my explanation. "Well a friend." I finally said and he raised an eyebrow at that. "A friend sent you all the way home ?" He asked and I nodded. I explained to Dad that I told him about our new neighbor that was giving me the creeps and he offered to walk me home. Dad frowned as I told him the story. "Oh now he is your knight in shining armor and you forgot that you should tell your parents first about this." Dad said. "I didn't know you would be at home," I replied. "And I didn't want it to seem as if I was being paranoid." I mumbled. Last thing I needed now was for my parents to walk up to our neighbor and ask him to stay away from me because I trust my dad and he would. "You should have told me first Anna, don't hide things away from us." Dad told me. "I guess I would let this slide since you looked all happy walking with him." Dad said with a small smile. Surprisingly he wasn't annoyed.
Anna's pov"Are you insane‽" I yelled angrily at her."What did I ever do to you?" Tina chuckled at my yelling."Dear Anna, there is no need to scream like a mouse that fell into a trap; you would only draw more attention to yourself." Tina chuckled as I looked around and saw that the students were now staring at me.In this state.Disgusting and smelly.The black substance that Tina spilled on my white shirt ruined it instantly and I tried to cover the spot the stain was on from prying eyes even though I knew it won't be any good.My hands stopped half way when a foul smell hit my nose. It was the smell of sewage and something else I couldn't keep wrap my head around.The thought of this being sewage made my stomach turn and I wanted to puke as I covered my mouth with my hands instead and that made Tina and her friends laugh even more."You better not throw up in the middle of the hallway, eyes are watching dear Anna, you don't want to be the vomit girl that is tagged as disgusting.
Anna's pov I was scared as the girls got to my stall and it wouldn't open. "She must be in there" One of them said as they knocked hard on the door a couple of times. I painicked more. I did the only thing that my mind saw as the best thing to do, which was to turn my back at the door,my hands still covering my chest,even though it didn't do a great job at it. I did that incase the girls decided to play a dirty trick and swat down and go under the door or above to take pictures. The Knocking on the bathroom stall door increased with more words said. "Get outta here or else you would regret it when we finally get to you!" Threats upon threats were uttered. Even though I was scared that the door wouldn't hope I was not going to bugde as I still hoped that someone would come to my rescue. I scoffed at my wishful thinking. Who was I expecting to help me? Everyone watched and did nothing while I got bullied. Would they help now? I heard distant murmuring I think they were restra
Anna's pov You know that feeling of just being strangled because someone just watched you, that was how I felt the next day as I came to school. Even though what happened yesterday was a bit traumatizing to me I still came to school. My parents even noticed I was acting distant and weird yesterday evening but when asked if anything was wrong as always I said no. If only they knew how wrong things were. I expected another encounter with Tina and her friends but nothing like that happened. I and Sarah were walking together as she decided to stick by my side today to make sure that I would not have another encounter with the girls today. Though I doubt she could do much, I still appreciated her effort. We walked past a bunch of them who were whispering to themselves but when we looked at them they turned their faces away as if they weren't talking about me. It was as if something had happened behind my back and I wasn't aware of it. Practically everybody stayed away from me in
Anna's povMy mom gave me approval to meet up with Caleb,I was more than happy about it.I didn't ask my dad because he might ask to meet with Caleb first and I had to start going through the long process of telling him we were just friends and I don't want him to scare him away.I had to explain that to mom and she didn't ask to meet him this time but when next we were going out they would meet.I had to remind her we were friends again but she rolled her eyes.You should be afraid of your parents because they know you more than you know yourself.I wore a baby pink gown and sandals that my mom bought for me on one of her shopping spheres.I packed my hair up in a ponytail. This was the first time I was doing so after that incident with Vincent.Mom was glad that I now took a liking to dressing wellI met up with Caleb at the park.It wasn't far from our school so it was easier getting there.Daniel was at home when I left and surprisingly he didn't say anything about it which was we
CALEB'S POV "I wonder what Vincent is doing here,does he live near the school?" Anna asked after we brought the ice cream and went further away from where we saw Vincent. I could tell he still had a great effect on her. Just staring at him made her freeze. I just wonder how scared she is of him. "He doesn't live around here,"I replied. "Then what is he doing here ?" She asked. "How am I supposed to know Anna? Do you want to go and ask him? I am sure he would be more than happy to reply." I answered and she slapped my hand playfully. "As if I will go and invite trouble to myself." she said as she rolled her eyes at me. "Then don't ask me what he is doing here,if you see him just walk away Anna you don't have to freeze but he is human as well...you don't have to be so scared of him." I told her and she smiled at me. "If only it were that easy." She mumbled as her head dropped. I know that she didn't have high self esteem. Maybe years of bullying helped add to that. I placed my
CALEB'S POVAfter I waited for what seems like hours I started banging on the door.I think my father had gone to work and left me locked in my room and I was sure that my mum won't come to help because she would never want to cross my father so I was left here to stay locked up."Get me out of here before I break this damn door down!" I yelled as I continuously banged on the door.Maybe a part of me hoped that my mother would come to the rescue although I doubt she had the wits to.I hated being controlled, they want to stay here at this house every second I stayed in my room got me more annoyed. Going to school was an escape from this house,now staying here just got back bad memories that I didn't want to recall.Memories I wish would stay buried as they were on the past.After knocking on the door and banging on it for what seemed like hours even though it had only been a couple minutes my hands began to hurt so I stopped.It was useless to continue knocking because I knew I woul
Anna's pov Even though I was so happy with my outing with Caleb even though I saw Vincent I didn't care less because I had so much fun. We went to the park and all that and on Monday I was relieved because all earlier fears that I Vincent would come bulky me again died but I didn't see him not even once.It made me wonder if he was actually telling me the truth because now I am beginning to think it was true.He didn't bully me and no one did. Since my encounter with Tina I haven't been getting bullied or so it was ok for me but there was something that bothered me was that Caleb didn't come to school on Monday.It was strange and weird because I did see him on Saturday.When I called his number when I went home he didn't answer the call.I was worried about his well-being.Was everything really okay as he claimed? I called his number countless times yesterday and he didn't answer the call and at some point I was bothered. I was even checking my cell phone to see
