Grade 8
One early morning, I woke up to my
stomach growling. I got up from the thin mattress I slept on and I wandered
towards the kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately, all I found was some dry bread.
Then I got ready for school and left our tiny apartment. While I was walking to
school, a few tears came down my face because I knew today was going to be
miserable.
After walking 4 km, I finally
arrived. While I was directing myself to my classroom, a kid came up to me and
punched me in the stomach because he found my shoes awful. I was used to
keeping the pain in, so I didn't tell the teachers, anyways they wouldn't have
done anything. I entered my classroom and I sat in my spot. I looked into my
desk and found a note, it said that I should disappear because no one liked me,
and my outfit was disgusting. I
pretended I was fine. The lunch bell rang, I went and hid in the bathroom stall
like usual, but I was starving since I hadn't eaten in more than 2 days. I went
to the garbage can where the cafeteria throws out the leftover food and I
started digging. I found some crushed rice and I jammed it into my mouth when I
turned around and found more than 50 people taking pictures of me and laughing.
Then Aliyah shouts “you are such an embarrassment to this school, you’re ugly
and nobody will ever care for you, not even your parents!”
I couldn't take it anymore, I ran and
ran until I felt like I was going to faint. I looked around, I saw nothing. I
had no clue where I was, I was lost but like Aliyah said, nobody cares anyways.
