Kellie
It's really funny how things- people, turn out to be when you actually thought of them better. Sometimes, you still are gripped with a strange pull of curiosity that tempts you to take a peek, even a small one whether it does you any good or not. There's always a secret yet to be revealed in this small, cruel world and in the end, expectations leave a crack in you when not met. That's the case for Andy Biersack.

Well, never mind that because people hurt you nevertheless. Those who have someone beside them are the luckiest in the world. There's no one to remind that to them but themselves. I sigh and make my way towards my locker, clutching my bag tighter. It takes me a while to notice something unusual going on. There's a bit too much noise in the hallway which slowly lowers as I pass. I don't look up from my bowed head in spite of feeling all eyes on me. Many are talking in hushed tones, most laughing, most looking into their phones, But yes, they are sure as hell staring at me. I gulp.

This never ends well. My face heats up not wanting all the attention that has never come for god knows how many years. Am I just paranoid? I take a peek and shoot away and gasp. Crap, Crap, crap. No. No!

A crowd is gathered in front of me. I contemplate on just turning on my heel and running away. But for some reason my body is rigid, my foot steps just move forward robotically. Deep breaths, Kellie. In and out. In and out.
I guess, it's better to face it and find out what's wrong. I'm not sure if I'm trying to convince myself. I spot CC and Andy among the circle of teenagers. CC whips around with eyes wide, a bandage stuck on his nose- an evidence of the square shot by Andy yesterday. He deserved it.

He seems to be thinking a lot of what to say as he walks towards me with his mouth half open. “Hey, Kellie...”
“What is it, Christian?” I utter his name, dismissively. He'd be the least person I'd like to talk to.
“Uh-Hey, hey, hey, listen. About yesterday, I just wanted to apologize...” I crane my neck among the crowd and continue to ignore him. His hand grabs me by my shoulder. “You know what, that's nothing. You should just head to your class instead of wasting time. I guess-”
“Shut up. Let me just take a look here.” I turn away and shimmy my way through the crowd.

“Hey it's the same bitch!” Someone yells. Everyone erupts in loud laughter, spitting out cruel comments that I don't even ever want hear again. What I see before me drains all the blood from my body, leaving me cold. My eyes start to burn. Who could've done this? A wave of the biggest shock courses through me and my tears well up, blurring the picture of me from the party yesterday with my torn black blouse and exposed right breast beneath the shifted bra. I start to choke on my breath, something churns in the pit of my stomach. I rush towards the washroom.
