Me and Jacob hung out again that day, and sadly, I said nothing. I told Jacob I'd be right back because I was going to the bathroom, so he waited for me by the classroom.

I walked in and looked at myself in the mirror. My reflection stared at me like all the other kids did, and I felt hot tears form in my eyes as I stared at myself.

All I could think of was that I was a pitiful excuse for a human.

What human can live without talking? What human can live with being called a freak or a weirdo?

I thought. My tears fell and I quickly wiped them away, but right when I did, more just came rolling down my face. My curly, dark brown, waist long hair was a mess and my face was red.

I blew my nose and dabbed my eyes before walking back to the mirror. I put my hands on the sink and looked down as I leaned my forehead against the cold glass.

'Why couldn't I be normal...'

I thought. My mind was racing so much I didn't realize the bathroom door opened. And of course, out of all people, it had to be Melissa.

She walked past me and stared me down. "What are you looking at, greaseball?" She snickered. Her friends chuckled and looked at me. I gave her a dirty look.

She laughed when she realized I had been crying, maybe even pouring my heart out, to the one person I know who would listen. Myself.

"Your not so tough, you know that right?" She laughed. She stepped forward as she spoke. "Without your little boyfriend out there, your nothing but a gutless, freaky, little mute girl."

Her friends all glared at me. "Yeah." They said in unison. "You gonna say anything? Or are you just gonna cry?" She asked. She gave me a fake pouty face and pretended to cry.

Then she laughed and punched me in the gut. I held my stomach and collapsed to the ground at the pain. "See ya later, freak of nature." She laughed as the door closed.

I had a horrible time keeping my food down already, so when she punched me, it didn't really help a lot. I ran to a stall and poured my guts out for the first time in a long time.

I cried and walked back to the mirror, lifting my shirt and revealing the big bruise she left on my stomach. I sobbed and said the first thing I've ever said. The first thing that came to mind.

"Why me...?"
