Chapter 24: God! I Hate People!

( Ember's POV )

( Same Day )

( In Next Class After Lunch )

We walk into our next class and walk to the back of the room sitting in our usual seats. The bell rings a few minutes later and the teacher comes waltzing into the classroom.

The room quiets down some but not totally silent. I look over at the group who is still conversing and I try to get there attention.

It doesn't go as planned cause I'm unable to get there attention. I see that the teacher is getting his ruler and is starting to walk over towards them so I stand up and get his and get his attention instead hoping that it'll keep the others from having anymore physical pain than what it already looks like they have.

"Hey Teacher!", I say in raised tone but it's either he ignores me or he just couldn't hear me.

"Hello! Mr.Teacher dude! Sto-", I say before he cuts me off by yelling.

"What do you want you selfish stupid little brat!", he yells and it gets the group of students attention that was talking.

"Woah man! You ain't gotta be a douchebag about it!", I exclaim in fake suprise. He gives me an angry expression and storms over towards me and as he does so I look over at the group of kids and they give me thankful and apologetic expressions. I smile back at them with a kind smile.

As soon as I smile at them the teacher grabs my shoulder and I hiss in pain cause I have there. He shoves me down harshly so I'm sitting back in my seat.

"Listen here you failure!", he says in an angry tone and I roll my eyes and mock him.

"Listen here you failure!", I mock him in a high pitched tone. He smacks me in the back of my neck with the ruler making it sting. I hiss in pain from the sting.

"That hurt.", I say rubbing the back of my neck he turns around and starts to walk to the front of the class.

Aaron taps my arm and I look over at her. She mouths 'Are you okay' and I nod.

"I always have to be okay.", I mumble under my breath quietly to myself.

( After Classes )

I'm walking with Dylan to our dorm. My fists clenched at my sides from what the teacher in our last class said and also did.

"God! I hate people!", I exclaim and Dylan looks at me and smiles.

"You and me both.", he jokes trying to lighten the mood. It didn't lighten my mood..... okay maybe it did in the slightest but I'm still ticked off.

We get to our dorm room and Dylan unlocks it. He opens the door and walks in. I walk in after him. Well more like I storm in and fall face first on my bed. I scream into my pillow and then flip over on my back and take my shoes off so I can lay down on my bed fully.

"Damn, I feel bad for your pillow.", someone said from the doorway I look up to see Kai, Blake, Yasmine, and Aaron.

"My poor pillow will be fine.", I say sarcastically still upset at the teacher.

"Are you seriously still angry at the teacher for what she said and did?", Yasmine asks and I sigh and roll my eyes.

"Of course I am! What do you expect when she freaking talks smack about me and whenever I say a smart-ass remark back she hits someone else! That should've been me that got hit! Not some other kid me cause I'm the one that talked back to her not him!", I exclaim sitting up and hitting my against the wall.

"Well yeah, that's true but the kid was laughing at the remark.", Dylan says and I roll my eyes.

"Laughing at something a said. He should've only hit once if any, he shouldn't have gotten hit that many times! I literally had to step in to stop her and she only hit me like twice after I stepped in!", I exclaim angrily with what I have left of my nails digging into my skin.

"Well, it wasn't your faul-", Aaron says before I cut her off.

"IT WAS MY FAULT!", I yell getting off of my bed.

"IF I WOULD HAVE JUST KEPT MY STUPID ASS MOUTH CLOSED INSTEAD OF OPENING IT THE KID WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN HURT SOME MUCH OR AT ALL!", I yell again as I pace back and forth.

"No, seriously it wasn't-", Blake tries to say when I grab a pillow and throw it at him.

"IT IS MY FAULT! SO STOP TELLING ME IT'S NOT CAUSE WE ALL KNOW IT IS!", I yell as he catches the pillow.

"God, I'm glad the door is closed.", Dylan mumbles and and I glare at him for a second before I grab some close and some slides I had and leave the room.

"Wait, where are you going?", Aaron and Yasmine ask as I walk past them.

"I need to be alone for a while so please don't follow me!", I exclaim as I go to the bathrooms to change.

After I'm done changing I walk outta the bathroom and walk towards the exit/entrance then outside. I walk to the walk way that seems to rarely have anyone there or walking through. I sit down and lean against the tree as I start thinking.

How did my life turn to this? Wait never mind, I know how. Cause I'm some psycho. I think to myself as I scratch my left arm.

I failed my mom, I failed my friends, hell I failed my family! Why the hell would the not wanna see me or my mom?! The monster had been away for a while so, why else would my grandparents, my mom's parents, not wanna visit us. Why wouldn't they wanna visit their grandchild that they've never seen? Why wouldn't they wanna see their daughter?!

All of it is my fault! It's not as if I can control what happens in my life! I think to myself as I start to feel my skin open from me scratching it.

I lightly place my head against the tree and and I fold my hands.

"God, if you're really out there somewhere, please, PLEASE, take care of my mom. She's only thing I have left, I want her to be happy and safe. So please, I know it's been quite sometime since I've prayed to you but please, just make sure my mom is safe and happy. Amen.", I whisper to myself as I look up towards the sky.

I hope and pray that you're actually really and I wasn't just talking to myself. I think to myself as I get up. I realize that the sun is setting and the sky has turn to beautiful shades of pinks, purples, and oranges.

Sometimes I wish I was part of nature. It's so beautiful and peaceful. It's gives you a sense of calming like as if nothing can stop you in the world. I think to myself and sigh. I walk towards the dorm building and walk inside. I walk into mine and Dylan's dorm and see that Blake, Yasmine, Aaron, and Kai are still there, along with Dylan of course. They look up at me with worried looks and I roll my eyes.

"You didn't tell Kai the story of my life that I told you guys, have you?", I ask and they shake their heads.

"Good. I think it's about time that he knows. I'm putting my trust in you, I'm trusting that you won't tell anyone what the actual story is.", I tell Kai and he nods.

"Good. Now listen. Yasmine, Blake, Aaron, and Dylan. I didn't tell you guys the full truth. What I told you is the truth but I didn't tell you the full details of how I got in here.", I tell them and they nod.

"I guess it's about time I tell the full truth.", I say and sit down on my bed I take a deep breath and prepare myself to tell the full truth.
