Keeping It Stereotypical

CHAPTER FIVE

•••

"What's going on here?" Bryce looked at me intensively. His glaze made me feel uncomfortable, like he knows what am hiding. I then realized he was looking lips, I immediately touched it, I stared at my hands only to see blood.

I spotted Nate's clenched fist, he is trying to control his anger, I know he would come at Bryce any time from now. I held Nate's hand.

"I fell, Nate was about to take me to the nurse." I didn't bother looking at Bryce because I'm scared he won't buy my story because once he looks into my eyes, it feels like he can read me.

"Oh, okay." With that he leaves.

Come back, I don't want to be left with him.

He cannot hear you, sadly.

U

I looked at Nate with pleading eyes. It never works but I'll always give it a try

"Lucky bitch." He kicked me before he left, leaving me as a crying mess.

I walked into the toilet to fix my makeup, luckily no one's here. I looked at my ugly self, all I can see is imperfections.

I want to die.

I felt tears approaching.

I refuse to cry, I won't cry.

I took my makeup box, it's always with me because Nate is always angry.

When I'm 18, this would be over.

••••••

Its lunch time, I walked into the cafeteria, all eyes on me, some wants to know what am wearing, some just to see something to say, some are just hating.

I walked up to the "Popular's table", sat down near Nate. Surprisingly Bryce is at the table.

"Hey bitch." Loren the magnet smirks. I simply smiled.

"What's up with your lips." Carly asked.

"I fell." I felt Bryce stare once I replied, I refuse to look at him.

"Aww, my baby fell." I turned to see Loren snap chatting, she zoomed it so they could see my lips, I just gave a smile.

Best friend my foot.

She leans closer to take a selfie with me, I gave a fake smile. I rolled my eyes at her caption, she wrote "can't sit with us".

"Why are you not eating?" I heard Bryce voice, I turned and realized he was talking to me, I gave a quick glance at Nate, asking for permission to talk to him, he looked away.

"I'm full, I ate this morning." Lies, I haven't eaten for days now.

"So are you guys coming for the party on Friday?" As Nate's girlfriend I accompany him to every party, I hate parties, I would rather be at home in sweats enjoying the darkness.

"Yup." They all answered.

Loren takes another selfie with Bryce.

What's wrong with this girl?.

She nudges me to look at her phone, I did and I almost puked at her caption. She typed "bae" someone is dreaming for sure.

"So tryouts is on Monday, Bryce you used to be a tiger on the court, are you trying out?" Jace asked, all attention was on Bryce.

"Nah man, not into basketball again."

Not into basketball? Say that to the posters and basket ball equipment he as in his room. I looked at his eyes, he is defiantly lying, he as an unreadable expression on his face.

I would rather leave it unreadable, because I don't like preying in people's business, won't like if someone did the same to me.

"If you change your mind, you could be an asset." Fin smirks.

Nate as been so quiet through out, I'm sure he is still mad.

•••

I was dragged into my house by Nate, he threw me on the floor right in front of my mum, all I can feel is pain.

"Your b***h of a daughter is f*****g the new boy in our school. You know very well I can destroy your lives ." he points his threatening fingers at my mum.

"Talk to your daughter, I'm not gonna be this nice if find out I'm being lied to." With that Nate leaves.

I turned to see an animalistic look on mum's face, before I could say a thing I was hit on the head with something hard, after that everything went black.

••••

I woke up to an headache, I found my self on the where I passed out, I stood up painfully and walked to my room, I was welcomed by my Darling friend "darkness". I walked over to my night stand, just then I found a blade, I put the blade near my skin and did what always made me feel better..

•••

I walked downstairs only to see the person I hated the most.

If you guessed, yes my mum.

"you look like s**t?" She commented as she sips her coffee.

"You can't go to school like this, stay home, Nate even needs time." I didn't even argue.

••••

Bryce's point of view.

"Out of my class, Mr Parker." The annoying teacher yells.

"My pleasure." I took my bag and walked out. I walked through the quiet hallway. I hate this school, poor teaching and lots of things aren't right about this school.

I find happiness in the fact I won't be there for long.

I spotted Melanie's locker, speaking of Melanie she wasn't in class today.

You shouldn't care Bryce.

I know but there's something about her, she is a puzzle, she wears colourful and designer clothes but once you look into her eyes is darkness, at least that's all I see.

Oh am I hallucinating.

I stopped when I heard moaning, I walked toward the sound, I spotted an empty class room, my eyes widened when I saw the people in there.

Its... Its.. It's Nate and Loren.

This is so disgusting before I turned around Nate spotted me, he has a smirk plastered on his face.

I walked way in irritation.

Does Melanie know that her boyfriend cheats on her?

It's none of your business Bryce, the aim is to get through senior year without anyone knowing your secret.
