Bullied

After a reeeaaally long school day, the bell rang - Freedom!

No one talked to me. Seriously. The whole day.
I've spend my breaks sitting on the floor with the back to a wall and thinking about that thing with Felix. He didn't spoke to me after he told me his name.
But there was one thought which occuplied me the most: Why do people do that?
I mean... only because he wore dark clothes? It sounded way too superficial... Weird.

Doesn't matter... The fact was: I got free again
"Hey, Felix. Do you want to walk with me the way home?" I asked getting up from my chair.
He saw at me with his one eye which wasn't covered with hair. You could see interest and hope in side of him. I smiled and the corners of his mouth also raised a bit.
But suddenly he saw away, his little smile disappeared and he shook his head.
I was confused ~What was that?~

"Look who made a new friend!" it was that guy who told me I was 'felixed'. He came from the direction Felix looked at. I'm pretty sure it was him who scared the boy of hanging out with me.
"Screw you, bastard" I said
He laughed - so did his three friends. No, there were four. I forgot a girl who didn't laugh. She stared at me - pretty lost in her mind. That girl was beautiful... but weird. I mean hanging out with the ones who make fun of me and then staring at me like that?
After a while she realized I had a disturbed look at her. She blushed and left after a few moments.

"Juliet! Where are you going?" one of the friends asked
She turned around - still red like a tomato "I have to go now. My mom's already waiting in the car"
"What about you, little Felix? Wanna go home to your mommy?" a girl of the group asked
"Or are you gonna make out with your new friend?" another one giggled
"Go fuck yourself" I just left the room.

On my way home I saw that Juliet opening her mom's car's door.
I just passed her as she mumbled something
"What?" I asked her, but she didn't answer

I left her alone. Not interested in talking anymore.
My stressed family waited for me to come home.

"Hello, dear. How was your day?" mom said, but I was just on my way to my room
"Fine"
I was a bad liar. She got it - like mothers always do. But she knew that I didn't want to talk right now.

I closed the door of my room, pulled my phone out of my bag, fell on by bed and called Jenny
"Hey" I heard her lovely voice. She cried.. I could hear it through the phone... but she tried to hide it
"Hi... how are you?" I asked her
"Fine! Today was an awesome day! What about you?"
"Darling, don't lie to me. What have the boys done?" I wanted to hug her... so much
She started to cry again "Usual shit... Like they did it every day. But it hurts so much more if you're not here"
"You'll get through it. It's just temporary - they are going to lose their interest in doing stuff like that" I told her "I love you, ok? You're my bestie - forever and always"
"Andy... I love you, too... so much. And now tell me something about your day" Jenny sniffed

I really didn't want to tell her anything. She had all those problems and it was impossible to scare her with the issues I had.
Jenny was a wonderful person and deserved more than problems. But also more than lies

"There's a boy in my class. I think he also listenes to rock. We'll be friends soon. I'm alright"
"That's very good!" she said

I didn't lie... but I also didn't say the truth.
It made me feel bad - but better than letting her know about those jerks
