"Nat, you really need to tell him about your feelings." My best friend, Renata, told me.

"I know, but... I'm too shy..." I replied.

"Brandon has been your crush since 3rd grade! And now, you're in highschool!" she shook her head.

"He won't even like me!"

"You haven't even tried, right?" she asked. I gave her a slight nod.

"Just go ahead and give it a try!" she added. "Believe in yourself."

"Fine....." I sighed and carefully walked towards Brandon and his friends.

When I came closer to them, one of his friends noticed me and started shouting. "Hey, fluttershy!! What are you doing, eh?! Just go play with your animal friends!"

"Shut up, Jason." Brandon told him.

"Um...hi.." I said.

He looked down at me, smirking.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"W-well.. I .. um,.." I stammered.

"Are you trying to tell that you've been crushing on me since 3rd grade and you're just too shy to tell me all about it?"

I was stunned.

How could he know all that??

"I have sources." he added.

"Ohhh" his friends yelled. "The fluttershy likes Brandon!! The loser likes the king of the school!! Too bad Brandon isn't gonna like you back because you're just a filthy person!!"

"Stupid fluttershy is never gonna get Brandon! Like.. who wants to date Natasha Brooke anyways?? Ha!" , they all said.

Brandon couldn't help but laugh.

I ran to Renata with tears forming in my eyes.

"How was it???" Renata smiled brightly at me.

"Not good!" I covered my face with my hands and went to the nearest restroom.

I looked at the mirror. My eyes were red and tears flow down my cheeks.

Just then, the Queen of the school, Madison, approached me.

"Aren't you the crybaby loser?" she smirked. "I heard what happened. Too bad you can't steal Brandon's heart."

"Leave me alone, Madison.." I told her as I wiped my face with a piece of tissue.

"I mean look at you! You're just an ugly, pathetic girl." she said and left.

Another girl stood beside me while applying make up on her face.

"You know me right?" she questioned.

"I don't think so..." I answered.

"I'm Cassie Wilson, duh." she rolled her eyes.

"Oh.." I chuckled. "The school sl*t. I know you."

"Stop calling me that! I'm not like Madison!" she protested.

"Yea whatever, Cassie."

"Well, she's right about one thing."

"And that is?"

"You're just an ugly, pathetic girl."

"I know, I know." I faked a smile. She sneered and walked out.

Then, the school nerd, Elena, came.

"Hey, El.."

"My name is not El. It's Elena."

"Why are you like this all of a sudden? Normally, you're OK with people calling you El."

"Don't talk to me, you pathetic girl!"

"You too?? Are you serious?"

"And I'm not a nerd anymore. I'm a cool kid now. Look at my brand new outfit!" she twirled around her little black dress.

"Um, OK??"

"Shut up, you little freak!" she stuck her tongue out at me and left with her head high.

This is what I got every single day during my school year at Everton High. Getting bullied.

I let out a big sigh and walked out of the restroom.

People stared at me as I passed by.

I ignored them and went straight to Renata.

"Where have you been?" she asked as she took a book out of her locker.

"The restroom...." I replied.

"For 30 minutes??"

"Well... anyways.."

'Mhm?"

"I've been thinking of... moving."

"What? moving? I don't get it."

"As you can see, there are a lot of people here who disliked my presence.."

"Okay, proceed...."

"So, I wanna move to another school!"

"Where to?????"

"Silver Wattle High.. I heard it's a nice school.. with nice people, too!"

"Are you kidding me?! Silver Wattle High is very far from here!"

"Australia isn't that far, you know.."

"But no!"

"Plus, my aunt lives there! What could possibly go wrong??"

She looked at me and took a deep breath.

"If that's what you want, okay..."

"Thank youuuuuuuuuu" I cheered and hugged her tight.

"But I sure am gonna miss you a lot."

"Me too, best friend. Me too."

"You really wanna go there?" My dad asked.

"Yes." I answered.

"Well, I'll call aunt Debbie if she agrees with this..." my mom shrugged, picked up her phone, and called my aunt.

"Are you sure about this, sweetheart?" my dad asked again.

I nodded. "There are way too much bullies in my school, dad. Pleaseee let me go to Silver Wattle High..!"

"Alright, fine.. Just don't make any trouble there." He said.

"OK, thanks so much!" I clasped my hands.

"Aunt Debbie agrees. Now we just need to find you a plane ticket." My mom announced.

"When will I leave?"

"Next 2 days.." they said.

"Okie, then. I better start packing." I smiled and ran to my room.

Before I had the time to stuff my suitcase, someone called.

I picked up my phone and answered. "Hi, who is this?"

"It's me, Nat." the person on the other end spoke.

"Hiii Ren! Guess what? My parents agreed!"

"Really?? And when will you leave?"

"Next 2 days."

"That fast??"

"Yep. Gonna miss you a lot, though."

"Same.. I hope you'll have a safe trip!"

"I'm not even packing my stuffs yet."

"I know.. well, gotta go! Talk to you later, best friend! Bye!"

"Bye!"

With that, I ended the call.

Well...

You probably don't know how excited I was that time when my parents agreed. I was really hoping for a better life in a better school, with better friends.
