The Street Fighter’s Love

Being sent away

I wake up and it takes a minute to remember the events of the previous day. I suddenly remember and my heart aches again but I push my feelings back and get ready for school. I go into my bathroom and do my morning routine which is only washing my face, brushing my teeth, and doing my mascara since I don’t like heavy makeup. I go downstairs for and go into the small kitchen and see my mom making eggs. She sees me walk in and instantly stops what she’s doing. She walks over to me and asks me to sit down at our small kitchen table. She sighs then says, “Rae I’m sending you to military school. It’s for your own good and you need a break from here anyways. After yesterday I’m sure you don’t want to be here for a while and military school is a good place for you to work out your anger and clear your head. It’s also a good place for you to make new friends.” I was shocked at first but then I was actually kind of excited. I turn to her and give her a hug and say thank you.

I skip breakfast and start walking to school. When I finally get there I see my sister with all her friends. She’s really pretty so she doesn’t get picked on like I do. She sees me and waves for me to come over. I see her friends have annoyed and disgusted looks on their faces all except for Lucas. Lucas is my sisters best friend and the only one in school nice to me. My sister has light brown hair, green eyes, tanned skin, and an hour glass figure though her boobs and butt is smaller than mine and she’s shorter than me she’s still perfect. I’m pretty sure my boobs and butt just comes from being fat. Lucas in 6’0, tan, dark brown almost black hair, skinny, and has dimples. He’s the school nerd and gets bullied too but I don’t understand why because he’s hot! Before I get myself too much into staring at Lucas I decide to walk over. Lucas and Grace give me warm smile while the others give me dirty looks. Grace gives me a tight hug apologizing about what happened between me, Cassidy, and Chance. And I hug her back saying “It’s fine Grace it was meant to happen, I’m just glad that I found out sooner rather than later.” She pulls away smiling and I was curious as to whether or not she knew I was leaving soon for military school so I ask. “Grace has mom told you about me leaving soon?” She looks confused and kind of scared. I give her a warm smile and say, “I’m going to military school soon and I won’t be back for a few years.” I look over and see hurt flash through Lucas’s eyes but then it’s gone so I think it’s just my imagination. Grace looks like she’s about to cry but her other friends look relieved. Grace smiles with hurt clear in her eyes and says, “I’ll miss you so much Rae Rae!” And tears start to fall. It makes me sad seeing my older sister cry so I hug her again promising to talk to her whenever I can.

After school I go home and my mom is sitting on the couch in our small living room so I sit on the broken recliner. She looks at me confused because I barely ever come out of my room and sit downstairs to watch tv with her. I sigh and ask, “When can I leave? I want to leave soon so I don’t have to see Cassidy and Chance any longer than I have to.” She sits up and says, “ You will be leaving tomorrow you left before I could tell you. I actually enrolled you last week I’ve just been working up the courage to tell you.” I nod and go upstairs to pack everything I’ll need.

After I pack all my clothes and other things I’ll need I go to bed so tomorrow will come sooner. I don’t want to be here any longer. I was both excited and scared to go but mostly I was relieved to be able to get out of here for a while and work on myself. The next day I wake up to my sister sobbing in my room hugging me. I sit up and hug her back. Me and my sister have always been close and protected each other. She’s a year older than me but sometimes she makes me feel like I’m the older one. Grace suddenly sits up and begs me not to go. I give her a sad smile and say, “ I need to Grace I’m sorry. I need to get out of here for a while.” She nods understanding though still sobbing. I would be leaving after school so I got in the shower and got ready for school.

I got to school and as I was about to walk in someone grabbed tightly on my arm turning me around. It was Chance with an emotionless face he tried pulling me closer to him but I backed away. Hurt flashed through his eyes but it was quickly gone making me confused. I jerked my arm out of his hold, “What do you want Chance?” I said with an emotionless face. He rolled his eyes and was about to speak when a squeaky voice spoke before him “Probably to say how glad he is that your finally going to be gone.” I looked over his shoulder and seen it was Cassidy. I rolled my eyes at her “Yeah thank god I’m leaving now I don’t have to listen to your annoying ass voice or see his f*****g face.” Before either of them could say anything I walked away hearing her complain about him not taking up for her. I looked behind me one last time and saw him rolling his eyes at her and walking away while she was screaming at him. I was walking to class when the b***h Riley tripped me and I almost fell but someone caught me. I looked up to see who caught me and seen it was Lucas. Blushing I quickly got up mumbling a thank you. Lucas smiled one of his gorgeous dimpled smiles “Your welcome princess.” Lucas has called me princess since I was eight because I used to say he was as handsome as my Prince Charming should be and ever since he called me princess. My heart flutters every time he calls me princess. I’ve had a crush on him ever since I was nine when him and my sister first became friends. He glared at Riley and she just rolls her eyes muttering about wanting to see me fall on my face. I rolled my eyes and walked with Lucas to my next class. I thanked him and went in. When I walked in everyone was looking and whispering about me. I heard some of the rumors they were spreading about why I was going to military school but I just ignored them and sat down for class. The teacher walked in and glared at me. Mrs. Baylor never liked me and I don’t know why. I’m a straight A student and I don’t do a bunch of bad things but that didn’t matter she never liked me.

The end of the day came and I was about to exit the school when suddenly I felt someone grab me by my hair and slam me on the ground. I went to see who it was but before I could I got punched in the face causing my head to smack with the ground. I then felt someone kick me in the stomach. These hits didn’t hurt as much so I figured it was someone weaker. I finally seen who it was and when I did I was so enraged that I shot back up to my feet. The person who was hitting me was Cassidy. The stupid b***h thinks she can take my boyfriend and try to beat me the day afterwards. I didn’t realize I was punching her until there was a crowd around us and cops pulling me off of her. Her nose was bleeding and so was mine and I also had a cut across the face. She must’ve got me with her fake nails. Her make up was smeared from crying and her hair was a mess too. Stupid blonde bimbo thought she could just hit me so I showed her what a real punch felt like. The cops dragged me out while everyone took pictures of me and whispered about me. I was put in the back of the cop car again like yesterday and surprisingly enough the same cop also drove me home. He criticized me for all of that until I told him I didn’t throw the first hit and that he can check the school cameras and it’ll show the blonde brat was the one that threw the first hit.

When I got home I seen my mom was in her car waiting for me with all my bags packed in the back. I sighed, sad that I didn’t get to say goodbye to Lucas and Grace before I had to go. I was about to get in the car when I heard someone yelling my name and seen Grace and Lucas running to me. They ran into my arms and we shared a group hug. Grace was a crying mess and I seen Lucas with a few tears in his eyes too.

(It will all be from Rae’s POV unless said other wise.)
