You Are Lucky Today

“Sarah”

It was Kyle who chose me. When I heard that Tyler actually chose Tanie I felt like the sky crash landed on me. I was really sad. But I was also thankful that Kyle chose me than her sister. If he also would have chosen Tanie then the situation would be bad. Anyways as I was thankful to Kyle I thought that I will give my best in this game although I did not know how to play properly. The game started. Until half time we had equal scores and I did not do much just passed the ball when it was on my hand. Then, after half time, it started again. I somewhat understood the rules. Then, Tanie had the ball, she was going for her score, but before that I snatched it from her and went with the ball and scored in my basket. I was so happy. I scored totally two times. Tanie could not get point for her group and also made mistakes which leaded to decrease few points of her group. At the end, we won the game. I was so happy.

The first reason was because I also scored the ball, the other reason was I thought to myself that I made Tyler regret his choice. Kyle said that I played well. I could see that Tyler was unhappy. Tyler was talking to Tanie in a rude voice. We could not hear what they were talking.

We ignored and Alice and I went to freshen up. When we were freshening, Tanie came with other friends. Then she suddenly said, “What do you think of yourself, huh? You are just a fat and ugly girl. I do not know why brother chose you in the game. At least Tyler had good eyes." Everyone except me and Alice laughed. I was angry but I could not say anything because I did not know what to say. Alice spoke up for me. She said by laughing slyly, “Ha-ha, and I thought that Kyle had good eyes. At least Sarah got two scores for the group, but some one here even did not score once rather was a burden for their group. What a shame to Tyler's choice.” Listening to her I was relieved. I felt happy as Alice spoke for me. I smiled. I could see anger on Tanie's face.

Suddenly one of the girls locked the washroom and two of them grabbed Alice, I was trying to set her free from her but other two grabbed me. Then, they locked Alice in one of the box. She was yelling. She yelled, “What are doing?” Then suddenly they opened the door and one of them took her hand to the back and kept some papers in her mouth. I was on the ground as two of them had kept me down. I was forcing myself to free from them.

<<Snap>>

Tanie slapped me on my face. It was like she used her maximum force. It was painful. Tears came out from my eyes. Then I told her, “Let us go, if you will not then we will complain about it later.” She laughed accompanied by other girls. They had an evil laugh.  Tanie looked at one girl. She took out a cell phone. It was against the rule to bring a cell phone in school.  I suddenly said although I was sobbing. “What are you trying to do? Why would you bring cellphone to school?” One of the girl started shooting. Tanie slapped me again to make me shut. The force was the same. I teared up again. Mercilessly, Tanie started to tear my clothes. I was begging and struggling to let her stop. Alice was also struggling to let herself free as she was seeing what was happening. After few minutes, I was in a mess. Everyone was laughing at me. They were telling things like, "Look at her tummy, hahaha" by pinching my stomach. They were commenting my body parts. Then when only my underclothes were left. Tanie was about to strip that off, but we heard few footsteps coming towards the washroom. She pinched my chin and threatened me, “Don't you dare speak a word. You are lucky today.” Finally, they left and Alice came for me. Before others came in, we went in a box. I could not do anything. There were tears in my eyes, but I could not cry.

Alice hugged me.  She said she would go and bring our dress. We had worn the sports dress before, so there was another dress. After she went out, still I could not cry. I thought everything was over. I was staring at the door not doing anything until Alice returned. After that we changed. We went out of the washroom. Alice also did not say anything until she took me to an empty class room. There she made me sit and said to cry. After hearing her words, I cried. I cried a lot. She then said that we should complain about this. But I denied. Because I knew that after that I will not be able to show my face to anyone. Then, when I was still crying and Alice was hugging and patting me, the door to the class opened.
