Permanent Scars

Dollhouse

"Alright, I think the bell is going to ring in about 2 seconds, so see you guys tomorrow," says my teacher Mrs. Kay. Just then the bell rings. I walk out of the class and to my locker. "Hey, hey. Look what we have here boys. Pretty little emo chic. Can we see your arms sweety?" says the annoying bully who targets my friends and me. "Fuck off Chad," I tell him. He pushes me against my locker. "Leave me alone Chad. I promise you don't want to do this." I say, turning around and trying to open my locker. He pushes me against the locker again. "Leave them alone Chad," says Jess, my girlfriend. "Or what, emo number two?" He says. "Or I'll turn you emo too since you hate us so much," She says. "Make that both of us. Now shove off Chad." I say. He finally walks off, having had enough, I assume. "You ok?" She asks. "Yeah. I'm fine. Thanks." I respond. She smiles. I smile back. "So how was 2nd period with Chad?" She asks. "The usual. Throwing pencils, erasers, and papers that have nasty words and slurs written on them at me." I respond. "I'm sorry," Says Jess with a sympathetic look. "I'm ok now that you're here," I say. She smiles. I smile back and lean in to kiss her. She grabs my hand and intertwines her fingers with mine. We hold hands as we walk to our 3rd period which we have together. We catch up with our friends, Asher & Benji, Rosalie & Rain, and Evanscence & Cyrus. All of us are dating someone in our group. We all have the same classes for the rest of the day, thank goodness. We all walk inside our class. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The Suicide Squad" Says Issac, another bully, to his group of bully friends. "Well, well, well, look what We have here. The 'Popular jock emo bullies'" I say looking back at my friends. "Fags." Says Neil, one of Issac's friends. "Alright, that's it. I've had ENOUGH of their bullshit." Says Asher, starting towards them. Benji holds him back though.  "Ashy, it's not worth it." Says Benji with one of those 'It'll be okay. They'll regret it someday' kinds of looks that always seem to calm him down. Asher rolls his eyes and stands down. "What were you even going to do anyways? Pull out that blade that you use on yourself on me?" Says, Neil. "That's it. I'VE had enough. I can't with these fucking bullies. What the FUCK did we do to you?" says Rain. "Rain, calm down. They're just jealous because we look like gods and goddesses, and they look like mortals. They just don't want to admit it. So instead of admitting it, they say all kinds of dumb shit because they're a bunch of straight dicks." Says Rosalie. She gives Rain that calming, sympathetic, understanding look that Rain always finds comfort in. "No. You guys are all just a bunch of gay ass emo fags who cuts themselves because you want fucking attention." Says Simone, their cheerleader. "Shut the hell up. You're just pissed off because you think we're cool, and you'll never be as cool as us and you just don't want to admit it." Evanescence says to her. "Alright, alright. Calm down and sit down now unless you all want detention." Says Mr. Collier. We all sit down. He gets started. I hate health class. And of course, our new topic is suicide. Perfect. just the perfect target. "Now how many of us have thought about it, or attempted suicide?" he asks "Better raise your hands' guys. We all know you do." Says Issac, as the others laugh. "Enough. All of you have after-school detention." Says Mr. Collier. The rest of us all share relieved looks and smiles. "Now, you eight. I know they're not the nicest to you, but if it is true, please feel free to talk to someone or get some help.
