"Yo bitch, am still waiting for my lunch" Jenny yells at me from across the cafeteria, I walk faster while trying to balance the mountain of food am holding up in my hand. On getting to the high table, I began serving the food according to their order. First is the soon-to-be Alpha Rex , soon-to-be beta Mark, Rex's girlfriend Jenny, Mark's girlfriend, Lisa my sister and our twin Damien, Theo, his girlfriend Ophelia and other typical jocks I couldn't remember their names. "I'm very certain I didn't order the salad" Lisa scoffed, I stared at her wide-eyed knowing fully well she order the salad but was only looking for ways to stir up trouble in the cafeteria in order to embarrass me, "I'm sorry miss Lisa" I said bowing my head, like sorry will solve the problem. "On your knees girl" Lisa barked at me, I quickly went on my knees in order to avoid further embarrassment then I felt a tug on my hair and the feel of sauce on my back, I whimpered but kept mute, the person holding my hair wraps it around his hand and pulled harder making my eyes water coupled with the burn of the chilli from the sauce on my bruises. I squrimed "am sorry miss Lisa it won't repeat again",  Mark pushed me to the floor, stood and called loudly "who has leftovers to dump, we've got the trash here" and soon everyone in the cafeteria was dumping their food on me, then the bell rang saving me from more touture. I stood up went to janitor's closest and took the cleaning supplies, half way through the cleaning I felt a presence, looking up I saw Theo, he's one of the jocks and although he had never hurt me I was still wary of him, "you should go clean up I'll take care of the rest", I stared at him but quickly took my gaze down not wanting to infuriate him, "come on Aurora go clean up" this time it's his girlfriend Ophelia, when did she get here.

Theo and his girlfriend quickly took some supplies and began cleaning the other part. When we were done I gathered the supplies, "ummmm, thank you for your help" Ophelia smiled at me then draged her boyfriend out. I stared at the doors in shock, not once in my life has anyone offered any help, I only hope it's not a trap. I quickly packed the supplies back to the closet and went to the bathroom to clean up. I stared at my reflection and grimaced, I was surely a sore sight, different food substance stuck to my long hair and stain of different colors on my body, using the wipes in the bathroom I tried cleaning my face and neck but in a few seconds I felt hot and itchy, I splashed some water on my face only for it to worsen, and that was when I heard the giggles outside the door, "how long before she starts screaming" I heard my sister ask, "soon" Ophelia answered and soon enough I couldn't hold back and I screamed, the itching had intensified and soon my face neck and hands were burning. I tried opening the door bathroom door but it wouldn't budge "please let me out, am sorry I'll do anything please just let me out" I cried while pounding on the door the laughters had increased and am certain half the school is out there. I was still pounding on the door when it opened and I fell face down, hitting my nose on the hard floor I heard the clicking of phones, am pretty sure their phone would be tired of seeing my face, I tried standing but fell down and the laughter was louder, I looked up to see Theo and Ophelia laughing, I knew it was a trap, finally able to stand I quickly ran out of the school straight to the woods.

I sat in the small garden beside Creek crying, this was the only place I could be without fear or worry, I had stumbled upon this patch of land when I was told to sleep outside as a punishment for not serving dinner on time. I quickly cleared the place and began planting little flower and herbs that I use for my sores and bruises, it was my safe haven. I sat till I as certain the itching and burning had stopped then I had my bath washed off the grim from my clothes and wore them again, they were light so I knew that before I get back to the pack house it would be dry.
When I got to the house I quickly began preparation for dinner, then snuck little food and went to the shed outside, which was my room, I was forbidden to serve because I was considered as a filth. On getting to my room I quickly ate changed my clothes and laid down, I cuddled my pillow hoping for a peaceful sleep.
