Stop Staring

Getting up Chloe placed the lid on her near finished container of pasta before placing it in her bag.

She then took out a clean tissue and wrapped it around the tissue before also putting that in her bag.

Now fully packed Chloe took the bag and went back to her class involving science since she had wanted to study chemistry.

Sure learning two different subjects and with a short amount of time was hard but she wanted to learn as much as she could since life was too short.

"Did you hear?" a long brunette girl near the door asked another brunette haired girl only her hair was shoulder length.

"Hear what?" the short haired girl asked looking confused.

"A girl went missing yesterday" Chloe almost paused from what she was hearing.

"Wait what? Are you serious?! What happened?" the short haired girl cried in alarm.

"No one knows, there were no witnesses and no one had seen her or could pin it on anyone. Not even a blood trail can be found" The long haired girl replied before noticing that Chloe was looking at them in shock leaving the brunette almost spooked thanks to the rumors.

"How can that be possible? Surely someone must have seen her" Chloe asked now curious despite the unsettled looks the pair were giving her. The girls looked at each other before looking at Chloe for a few minutes leaving her to think that she had overstepped her boundaries, just as she was about to apologise the girls looked at the other again.

"No one knows, in fact we don't know if she was in a relationship with anyone" The long haired girl replied as she observed Chloe who blinked in surprise from the reply and from the fact that she was speaking to her of all people.

"That's odd, do they know who she was though?" This took the girls by surprise.

"Hayley Reed, she was taking an Algebra course here" The short haired girl replied with a suspicious look.

"I didn't know, that is curious though that she would just up and vanish" Chloe commented before biting her lip.

"I'm sorry for intruding" she said softly before leaving the girls shocked that she had even spoke to them let alone apologized for even speaking to them.

"Hey wait!" Chloe stopped and turned to look at them.

"You didn't know Hayley did you?" the short haired girl asked looking at her with near curious eyes, Chloe blinked before shaking her head.

"I don't think that I've met her" Chloe said with an apologetic look, she then went into class and sat down not believing what she heard. Who could have done this?

"Hey you rat" Jenny spat as she slammed her hands on Chloe's desk startling her to the point that she almost jumped out of her seat.

"You told on us didn't you?" Jenny hissed as she glared at her, Chloe however didn't react as she looked at Jenny blankly making the ginger haired girl more angry than before.

"Thanks to you I had to hear it from my parents who grounded me after they had a go at me. Honestly you're so pathetic!" Jenny added only Chloe didn't respond which made Jenny gnash her teeth before she pulled on Chloe's hair.

Chloe cried out in pain as she tried to get Jenny's hand off of her.

"Oh so now you react you stupid girl! Honestly I hate you for even being here! Why don't you just crawl back in the hole you came from your worthless pathetic waste of space!" Jenny snapped as Chloe tried to stop her, suddenly Jenny screamed on in pain as Chloe dug her nails into Jenny's arm hard in order to get the attacking girl to stop.

This caused the ginger haired girl to slap Chloe's face before releasing the black haired girl.

Chloe winced as her side hit the floor before she curled up to avoid being kicked.

Why wasn't anyone doing anything?

Did they really enjoy hurting her that much or were they too scared to help someone in trouble?

The next thing Chloe knew was that they kicks and insults suddenly went quiet causing her to slowly open her eyes, hoping that it wasn't a trick.

Instead it wasn't a trick, Jenny was frozen to the spot as Daniel grabbed her arm while his eyes were what rooted her to the spot. He was furious.

"Mind telling me why you are beating up a defenseless person?" Daniel asked coldly, Jenny then recomposed herself and scoffed.

"Ha? Defenseless?" Jenny spat before showing her arm that had nail indents on them.

"She did this to me! How am I not allowed to fight back Daniel?" Jenny cried but Daniel wasn't amused shocking her a lot, even Chloe was surprised by the fact that he was glaring at Jenny.

"I know you attacked her first, didn't you listen to Miss Willows who said that this would get you expelled?" Daniel asked coldly causing Jenny to stutter.

"But! But she's not even wanted here! She's a nobody!" Jenny cried as she looked at Daniel who's eyes darkened.

"And it's okay to hurt her?" Daniel asked her coldly before walking towards Chloe who then shot up from the floor and went straight to her seat.

His eyes still angry as he saw a large red welt on her left cheek, her lip was cut while her arms had some bruises whether they were from the fall or the kicks.

Kneeling down he inspected the injuries causing Chloe to look away.

"Stop staring at me like that" Chloe muttered darkly as she gripped her trousers tightly from under the desk.

"You need to wash off the blood" he said before pulling her up by her right arm.

"Let go of me" Chloe snapped as she glared at him, almost wincing from the pain in her arm.

"But Daniel!" Jenny cried as she watched him take Chloe out the room, the male then stopped as he saw Mr. Williams who's eyes were now wide as shock and horror appeared on his face.

"I am just taking her to the nurse to get cleaned up" Daniel explained before taking a reluctant Chloe with him, this snapped the teacher out of his shock.

"H-Hey! What happened to her?" Mr. Williams asked only silence was his reply, sadly he couldn't go after them since he had to make sure the students in the class they went out of were okay.
