*No One's Pov*
On Saturday, Kat went shopping with Jay to find a new skateboard and buy some more jeans and baggy tops. Then on Sunday, she met up with Josh and some other guys to go skateboarding whilst Jay and Will were at work.
It was now Monday morning and Kat was dreading going into school. Josh was leaving during Chemistry, meaning he wouldn't be in maths and Kat would have to sit alone with Jocks and the popular girls. Not to mention Bella who had a big purple bruise on her nose and had probably shared it with half the school by now.
When Bella had got to school she went to catch up on some chemistry revision in the library for Wednesday and Antonio went to talk to Miss White, their maths teacher.
"Mr Dawson, you asked to speak to me."
"Yes. I was wondering if you could maybe move Kat to the front of the class."
"I understand that the girls have a close connection and Kat's father works with you."
"I get that but they aren't getting along. Bella doesn't like sitting at the front so is there any chance you could move Kat to the front?"
"Fine. I will. If there is any other arguments, it has nothing to do with me."
"Okay. Thank you."
It was now time for maths class, Kat walked in by herself because Josh had an appointment to go to. She went to head towards the back before she was stopped by Miss White.
"Um, Kat?"
"Yes, Miss."
"Can you sit at the front please?"
"What? We are allowed to sit wherever. I always sit at the back and I never disrupt your class."
"Kat, please don't argue with me."
"Yes, Miss." Said Kat and walked towards the front.
She dumped herself down in a chair as she heard a few laughs coming from the back. She turned around to look but was hit by a paper ball.
"C-can I borrow a pencil?" Asked the guy next to her.
She picked up the paper and opened it, reading what was written. She screwed it up and shoved it into her bag.
"Hello?"
"Yes?" She asked turning to the boy who was sat next to her.
"C-can I borrow a pencil?"
"I don't have one."
"You take art, don't you?"
"No."
"Oh. What did the note say?"
"Doesn't matter."
"That sounds like a boring note."
"What?"
"The note. If it said that th-"
"No, I mean it has nothing to do with you."
Another one hit her head but she ignored it and got on with the equations.
"You've got another one." Said the guy as he picked it up.
The guy sat next to her was William, the most nerdiest person in the entire school. He sits by himself at lunch and builds robots with the robotic team. Sometimes he even cleans classrooms with the janitor.
"Thanks." She said and took it off him.
She shoved it in her bag without opening it. William looked at her and then at her bag before finally looking at her head where another one was thrown.
"Are you not going to open them?"
"What's the point?"
"To see why people want to talk to you. They clearly miss you at the back."
"Miss me? They all hate me. Especially the one with the purple nose."
"Why is her nose purple?"
"I punched it."
Kat looked to her side as William quickly scurried to grab his stuff. He tripped over a chair as he grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder.
"Good idea, William. I wouldn't sit with the freak either." Said Alan.
They were suspended for one day. One day. If someone couldn't swim, like at all, they would be dead. They would be suspended for longer and be arrested for attempted murder.
The teacher left the room for two minutes and in that time, about fifteen pieces of paper were launched at Kat. When the teacher walked back in, she looked at Kat who was picking up the paper and shoving it in her bag at the same time of trying to hold back tears.
"Excuse me! Can we please not throw stuff around the classroom?" Said Miss White.
"Kat started it." Said Sapphire.
"Shut up. No she didn't." Said Bella.
"Bella, who started it?"
Kat knew it wasn't Bella but if she was to snitch on others, they would ditch Bella and call her a snitch or a freak.
"I did, miss." Said Bella.
"Detention."
"Yes, miss."
"Kat. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, miss. They are just paper balls."
"Yeah because she can't get real ones." Said Sapphire.
Kat wanted to say something back but just kept quiet. She had no one to defend her if things got bad so why would she risk putting herself in a worser situation.
"At least she doesn't go around begging for them." Said Bella.
Kat pulled a funny face before turning around to look at them all. Alan pulled Bella close to him and gripped her wrist before whispering something in her ear. Bella looked scared and in pain but Kat decided to leave it because they weren't really on speaking terms.
Kat stayed behind at the end of lesson to talk to the teacher.
"Miss, who moved me to the back?"
"I did."
"No, I mean, did someone ask you to?"
"I shouldn't be telling you this but it was Bella's legal guardian, Mr Dawson. You can sit wherever you want from now on."
"Okay. Thanks miss."
"I really didn't mean for any of this to happen today. It's my fault and I would like to personally say sorry."
"Don't worry about it miss."
Kat walked out of maths and down the corridor for lunch. She wasn't really hungry so she sat in the corner of the library where no one gets books from because it is some old history stuff that isn't in the curriculum anymore. She dug through her bag and pulled out the pieces of paper, reading them one by one until her cheeks were soaked with tears.
The words kept flying around in her head as she cried. She grabbed her knees and rested her chin on them as she struggled to keep quiet.
"Are you okay?" Asked Amelia as she turned the corner.
"Yeah. I'm fine. What are you doing here? No one comes to this aisle."
"I heard you crying and screwing up pieces of paper."
"Oh."
"Yeah. Um...I don't agree with what Bella is doing. I didn't mind hanging with her for the first few days but she is being horrible to you so I've left her. I can sit with you, if you want?"
"No, it's okay. I'm just being stupid." Said Kat as she wiped her tears and nodded her head to reassure herself that everything was fine.
"What do the notes say?"
"Just insults. Mainly how ugly I am."
"Ugly? Girl, you are one of the most attractive girls in the school. Have you seen the way you dress? It's amazing and looks so comfy."
"Thanks, Amelia. Oh, and thank you for going to the police."
"What do you mean?"
"I know it was you who told them about the abuse. I haven't told Bella because I don't want her get angry at you. Thank you, though."
"No problem. I didn't like to see such a happy girl breaking inside."
"Yeah. I feel so much better now. Well, apart from these notes and the constant bullying. I feel great."
"That good. I've seen that you and Josh are close."
"Yeah. I kind of like him but I'm scared to ask him out incase he rejects me and I mess the entire friendship up."
"Have you not seen the way he looks at you? He is in love with you. Deeply."
"Thanks." Laughed Kat.
Amelia helped her up off the floor and gave her a box of tissues she took off the librarians desk.
"Do you know why Bella is doing this?"
"Pictures."
"What?"
Amelia looked around nervously, knowing a few jocks had spotted her in the library.
"I'm sorry, I have to go. Ignore the haters." Said Amelia and smiled at Kat as she left.
"Thanks again." Smiled back Kat.
After school was done, Kat walked over to the 21st, ready to confront Antonio. Shit was about to go down.
