Bully

Chapter 7 Zoey

I'm sitting in the lunchroom racking my brain of all the events of my day so far. Which have been pretty dull. I continue to get stares from people left and right but no ones spoken to me since school started.

The worst part is I can't find my best friend anywhere. She should be here by now. Mercy has been my best friend since elementary school. We've both been school punching bags since we started school me because I'm ugly. Mercy because she's a little overweight.

People can be cruel. I wonder if she's still angry I left without saying anything but I doubt that'd make her miss our first day of high school. I could skip the rest of the day to check on her but my dad would kill.

I only have 4 classes left my next one is Gym which I'm dreading. I'll just check on her after school. I really hope shes okay it's not like her to miss. Usually should would have texted me by now. I'm sure she's okay. Relax Zoey your worrying for no reason.

Once my nerves have calm down enough I don't feel like I'm gonna throw up. I stand up to empty my tray I'm trying my best not to pull my shirt down in attempted to hid my stomach. I would have never worn this before but I guess that's the point. This year will be different.

I head towards the trash can when I notice the round table in the center of the room. I try so hard not too look but in the end that magnetic pull wins.

When I look I see Zane I can't help but notice everything. He's leaning against the table taking to the pretty blonde from the party a while back. I feel my heart pulse with pain.

I get it. I'm stupid this guy is my tormentor. The devil himself. My brothers best friend. I hate him I do. But why do I get this feeling when he's around.

I'm intrigued by him. That and I can't help but steal glances when he's not looking. The way his Snow White hair brings out his honey colored skin. Or the way his tank is so tight I can see ever muscle when he moves. Im constantly feeling drawn to him. Yet he despises me.

"Take a picture it'll last longer" Megan startles me out of checking Zane out enough to realize they've both noticed me staring at him. And not just them the whole table which includes Ace and Bryce my brothers other insanely attractive best friends too. Ace is a tan blonde with light brown eyes he's know as the player and Bryce has a pale complexion with light brown hair that's a little long almost to his pale blue eyes he's pretty quiet barely talks. Both gorgeous. Great now I look like a stocker.

Megan starts walking towards me with her finger out she jabs me in my right shoulder with each word she speaks " Look Zoey just because you decided to abandon the garbages you were wearing doesn't mean anything. You stand no chance with Zane."

Im about to run and hide when I remember that this year is gonna be different that plus Zanes amused expression puts a whole new adrenaline rushing to the surface. I grab Megan's wrist and twist it.

" I suggest you keep Your f*****g hands off me" I spit at her. Her startled Yelp accompanied by her surprised eyes lets me know she wasn't expecting this.

All eyes in the cafeteria are on us. "You Stupid b***h! Let go of me!" She screams.

Something about the way she screams brings a new emotion I've never felt before. Like a surge of power. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it in fact I like it so much I can't stop my smile from forming. I shove her back releasing her hand with her. She wobbles but regains her balance.

"For some one who doesn't like others hands on her. You should really work on keeping yours to yourself" I tell her.

"You'll regret this loser. I'll ruin you" she remarks before stomping out of the cafeteria.

Little did she know I was ruined a long time.
