Tiffany's Pov
                   I stared at the school gate debating whether to go inside or not, I took a deep breath and reluctantly walked into the school.
    The school was rowdy and everyone seemed to be excited about resuming.
     I sighed in sadness and clutched the tip of my skirt. I'm one hundred percent sure that Damien was waiting for me .
     I don't know exactly what I see in him, I've had a crush on him since the third grade where he broke my pencil.
     Miley, my best friend kept telling me to bury my feelings and try to stay away from him.
     I tried Miley's advise but he still found one reason or another to bully me.
    I stood transfixed on a spot as I sighted Damien waiting by the class. His eyes met with mine a smile spread across his face.
    "Just the person I've been waiting for, what took you so long?" He asked walking to where I was.
    " I-i-i w-was de-elay-yed b-by t-t-traf-f-f-fick" I shuttered in fear.
       he grabbed a handful of my hair and dragged me to a lonely part of the school.
    he pushed me to the ground and slapped me across the face, I held my cheeks and nursed them gently as I awaited his next attack.
     He grabbed my hair again and pulled it really hard, I screamed in pain and was rewarded with another mighty slap.
     I knew that no matter how much I screamed for help no one would come but i couldn't help it.
       he kicked me with his seemingly metal boots.
      "that'll teach you to come early" he snapped and left.
     I burst into tears as I watched his retreating figure, it has always been like this.
     I don't know what I did to make him hate me so much and I really don't want to know, I just want to leave this forsaken school.
      "two months more" I assured myself adjusting my uniform.
     I rearranged my hair and cleaned my tears before heading for class.
     by the time I got to class the teacher was already there, the whole class turned their attention to me as the door screeched open.
      "miss Nelson, you're late" the teacher said stating the obvious. "I'm so sorry ma'am, I had to visit the restroom" I lied and she frowned.
      "that's not an escuse, get out of my class this instant" she fired and I walked out of the class dejectedly.
      "he got me thrown out of class on the first day of resumption" I muttered to myself.
        I sat on the floor at a corner and hugged my knee to my chest.
       History class was soon over so I could go back to class, I frowned on seeing Tiffany at my seat.
        i know what she's up to,she wants me to it her so that I'll receive another round of beating from Damien.
        I simply left the seat and sat at the back of the class, it was more comfortable because now people won't notice me easily.
         the class was noisy and rowdy, it seemed like the teacher wasn't going to come anytime soon so I plugged in my headphones and laid my head on my desk.
       I let the music take me away take me away and imagined how things would be if I wasn't in this school.
      I felt something drop on my desk.and I raised my head to see Ronnie staring down at me with a smile.
      Ronnie is the class president, she's also a nerd but a hot one. Yunno,the kind of nerds who looks irresistible with their glasses on.
      I had always admired her and her twin sister ever since I met them.
     Her sister, Bonnie was also hot and brilliant but sometimes she can be a little extra.
    We refer to her as the mad woman of our class but I think she's just doing her stuff to entertain people.
        "Hey, the teacher said to inform the class that he isn't coming so we should peer ourselves in groups of four and read for a pop quiz tomorrow" she said.
      "My group is missing one person, do you want to join?" She asked and I quickly nodded.
      We went to her desk where her sister and Miley, my best friend were waiting.
        "Freak, what are you doing there?" Tiffany yelled in anger.
      "I need you in my group you dumbass" she snapped and I stood up to join her when Ronnie pulled be back.
       "Tiffany, have you ever looked into the mirror? You look like an amoeba, you are not only ugly and shapeless but also stupid. You're such an empty skull" Ronnie spat.
         "Watch your math Ronnie, this is between me and that idiot" Tiffany warned causing Ronnie to scoff.
       "You really have no shame, you had to announce to the whole class the fact that you are too dumb to pass tomorrow's pop quiz on your own" Bonnie mocked.
      "Shut up you crazed girl" Tiffany yelled, "it's better to be crazed than ugly and shameless" Bonnie said with a satisfied smirk.
         "Yunno, your mum chose a wrong name for you. You should have been named Amoeba or dumbass or empty skull or shameless she goat" Ronnie mocked.
       Tiffany marched put of the class and I was one hundred percent sure that she was going to Damien.
         She was going to fabricate a lie to make him beat me up again, the thought of receiving another round of beating made my eyes filled with tears.
       Miley just kept quite all through as she watched the show unfold.
      "Are you okay?" Ronnie asked with concern, I shook my head and focused on my book.
       The rest of the day went in a blur and soon it was time to head home.
        I picked up my bag and slowly walked out of the building, I was expecting Damien to come out of a corner and drag me to his normal beating spot but he didn't.
       "Tams" Miley called running after me, "I heard Damien telling someone to kidnap you at the bus stop, I'd advise you're take the short cut" she said and left.
       I quicken my pace through the short cut, it was a lonely and bushy road which was known to be home of many rapist.
       I was so close to the end of the road when a hand grabbed me and pushed me to the floor
