Slamming through the bathroom door, I hastily pull up my sleeve

Nothing, no blood. I'm okay.

Pulling my sleeve down I let out a pained breath grabbing the sink to steady myself

I look up at myself in the mirror

My mother had named me Persephone after the Greek goddess, who was graceful and considerate and held the power to stand up for herself and do what was right.

She told me she knew from the moment she held me I would be the same.

She always liked mythology

As I stand in front of the mirror, I see the opposite of Persephone

I see a weak girl who does not hold the power to stand up for herself

I'm not graceful nor considerate

I can never do what's right

The bathroom door swings open bringing me out of my thoughts , I am about to wipe my tear-stained cheeks when I hear the clicking of heels against the tile accompanied by obnoxious laughter causing me to freeze

I have been trying to avoid them all day.

My heart begins to beat a little faster

"If I knew this bathroom was being occupied by the school whore, I would have used the other one." Natalia snaps, I turn my head slowly towards her to see her and Agnes.

They go by Tessa and Nessa, stupid nicknames I refuse to call them.

"Yea, who knows what STDs we catch if we use it now" Agnes snorts sparing a glance at Natalia, hoping to get her validation as they giggle.

They probably think it's cute but they sound like dying cats.

I just had to come to the bathroom I scold myself

I head towards the door. This has already been a bad day and it's not even 9am

As I try to walk past them Natalia steps in front of me, crossing her arms, giving me the meanest glare she could make.

She looks constipated

"What?" I whispered, hoping she didn't hear the nerves in my voice.

"Oh, she speaks, I thought your mouth opened only for cock." I still don't know why she hates me.

I roll my eyes at her words, making Natalia scoff.

I didn't mean for her to see that

I open my mouth to ask her again, but before the words can leave my mouth she strikes me across the face with a smug look.

"Don't you EVER roll your eyes at me again, whore," she bellowed. I raise my hand to hold my stinging cheek. Tears gather in my eyes once again at the pain.

I will not cry in front of her, I won't give her the satisfaction

"Get out," Agnes demands, making Natalia move out of my way.

Walking past her Natalia shoves me, causing me to hit my arm against the wall again

I feel intense pain as hot tears start to roll down my cheeks.

I look down seeing a small spot of red

Great, this time I really popped a stitch

I run out of the bathroom deciding I've had enough of today. I make my way out of school and head home.
