Niyalese Hernandez
Two weeks pass, (TWO WEEKS!) since the party. The fight we had was over. Somehow, this was all my fault. Somehow, I am the bad friend. Nothing I said was true. I was a "liar" and "should not be trusted." After everything... everything, she did not believe me. Always listening to other's words. There were 6 stories about what happened... actually seven. Seven stories on what happened between me and Jayden. Six of them were everyone's sick imagination and lies made up to make me look bad. The 7th story was the truth, but the truth can be boring, can't it? No one wants to hear the truth especially when it proves how wrong they are.

I slowly roll out of bed. No, I don't want to go to school. I know what's to come, the whispers, the snickering, the rude comments and Amiya pushing past me. Yet, I got up because my mom wants me to learn and be able to go to college. I have to go to college. I heard they look at your records before accepting you. I wonder if they will let the school slut on their campus. When I'm done and ready, I walk to school. A few blocks is my high school, Troy, home of the Trojans. A new principal came this year (junior year). He decided that the bald eagles wasn't enough and somehow changed our names to the Trojans. He was a big fan of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He could remember every single piece of dialogue in both books. His office... we aren't going to speak on that, let's just say it's over the top.
I open my locker to take out my books when a note falls out
Niyalese is a slut
It reads. Holding back angry tears, I head to the bathroom. This is childish. This is really childish. On the way I bumped into Amiya.
"I should have known you would have made a move on my boyfriend. After all, you are a slut." She laughs and walks away, bumping into me again on purpose.
I walk into the bathroom and two girls that were in there walked out snickering. There on the wall, written in black marker, were words like Niyalese is a slut. She's a nasty ass bitch. There are more words I won't repeat. The lump in my throat gets bigger. Tears blur my vision as I sit in the corner of the bathroom curled up. I could no longer control the river coming down my face.
"It's okay," I remember the sly fox saying, but it's not.
I found myself ignoring him and everyone else. Every day, I have to deal with this. I just can't do it anymore. I just want to disappear, become invincible, or go to a place where I am alone. I just want it all to end, the pain, the tears, the struggle, ...everything.
