My Not So Princelike Enemy (interacial)

Chapter 5

I wake up the next day, remembering the horrible events from yesterday, including what happened at school with Henry. Atleast it is the morning and I don't need to turn on the lights. I open my door and as usual go to take a shower and to my surprise there is a new door knob and it is locked. I hold onto the knob, trying to open it, and I look around the house until I find the source.

"You ain't gonna go in there you know. No water." My dad says, walking to his room down the hall from mines.

"How am I suppose to go to school? I need to shower and brush my teeth." I yell.

I groan loudly so he can hear and just go back to my room, wishing I had friends to go to. I go to my closet, put on my uniform, shoes, brush my hair into a bun, and pack my school stuff in my bag. I turn around to look into the mirror, seeing the big bruise on my face from the punch my father gave me and inhale a deep breath.

When I go to  the fridge to get something, I see a lock on the fridge."Are you serious?" I yell out in frustration and just leave the house and wait outside for the bus.

I hope I don't smell so bad and hopes no one smells me.

Once I get to school, everyone is looking at me, talking about me again. Henry comes with his followers and is smirking at me when he sees me. "What happened to your face?" He lifts my chin, searching for an answer. "Wow my guys really punched you bad. You even got a bruise on your neck." He laughs afterwards.

Of course he was kidding when he said all that stuff yesterday and I move my chin from his hands and walk away from the group. I just can't deal with this right now.

"Hey." He yells out to me and I continue to walk. "Hey idiot!" He yells again.

Why can't these people just leave me alone. I try to walk further, but he jumps in front of my way, looking with a serious face. "I. Said. Hey." He says slowly, with an annoyed tone.

"What! What do you want!" I yell on the brink of tears."I just want you all to leave me alone! Is that so hard? Why do I have to constantly be bothered everyday. It is all your fault too. These years have been hectic for me, I am surprised I am still alive." I pause to inhale a breath. I begin trying to walk away, but he grabs my hand.

"What did I say yesterday? Didn't I say that only I get to bother you. Who is everyone that is bothering you other than me?" He asks, looking right into my eyes with those blue eyes.

"Just leave me alone." I look away, yanking my hand back.

"I'm serious." He says and he actually does look serious. His blue eyes piercing right through my heart, making it beat a little faster. "Who is it?" He says angrily.

"Are you seriously asking me that? It is all your fault. Everyone bothers me because of you. You made sure everyone knows that you think I am stupid and now everyone calls me stupid." I roll my eyes and he quickly puts his hands to his nose, squeezing it.

He steps away from me and smiles." Did you brush your... nevermind, and I know I wanted to make sure everyone knew that you were stupid, but..." I don't give him a chance to continue talking, feeling embarrassed that he smelled my breath.

I just walk away and go to the cafeteria to grab a gronaola bar and apple juice, hoping that maybe my breath won't smell so bad.

Since I know my aunt and dad are serious, I am going to need to find a job. I go to the library and start to look up job opportunities on the internet, which is not so easy because I do not see many opportunities out there and many of them require a long application process, which I do not have time to do.
