It all started in the year 2020 when I was in year ten at Deer Park Collage. Me, not liking the mornings, was always late.....

"Thanks, mum," I yelled while I dragged my bum out of bed. I don't know how people get out of bed in the mornings, or why they have to have school at fuckin' 8:50 in the morning cause I sure can't. Putting on my uniform is one thing, first I've go to find them in this messy room of mine. Here I am looking for my clothes when I should be going to school. After ten minutes I find them in the bathroom. Putting them on and doing all the other things you do in the morning, I stopped checking the time. It was 8:45, five minutes to go, so I gave mum a kiss on the cheek and ran to school hoping to be there in time.

I was ten minutes late again. Knowing we had a new teacher for S.O.S.E I was hoping this teacher was kind enough to let me in. I'll lie and say I have never been late before, hopefully nobody will open their mouth.

So I put my head against the glass door, and I could see everybody listening to the new teacher. She was tall, and had long black hair, but nobody was listening to me. So, I thought, 'Alright I'll be a little good girl and wait.' Ten minutes went by and still I'm waiting outside so I knocked again

Okay. Now with me being short tempered and since it had just begun raining, I started yelling, "Let me in you fuckin' wankers!" Oops okay so that came out wrong and I nervously brought my head back to the glass door. I gulped. I didn't want everybody looking my way, especially a pair of angry, dark blue eyes. Did I say the students looked like hell "Damn," I muttered.

I waited for another ten minutes until she decided to come out. I was so nervous I did the only think I could think of - talk.

"I'm sorry miss, I really didn't mean to talk like that." I started fiddling with my hands. "Its just that um I knocked and nobody came and it started to rain and I was getting wet and..."

"Look at me girl," she said. I moved my head in a no, she can tell me to shut up, but she can't force me to look at her. Was I wrong. She just grabbed my chin roughly and pulled it up till I was looking at her. I was almost on my tipey toes! She just stared into my green eyes. I was getting nervous; I hate looking into people's eyes. It felt like hours but it was probably about twenty seconds. And when I'm nervous my temper comes, which it won't again.

Slapping her hand away from my chin, I said in a soft voice, "Don't touch me... miss." I couldn't take it anymore so before she could see me cry, I started walking away. I was grabbed by the arm and roughly spun around

"But miss..." I started saying while rubbing my now sore arm, but she had turned around and walked into the class slamming the door behind her.

So off I went to her office, I didn't know her name or where her office was. I would've asked a teacher, but then you have to tell them why you need to go and for how long. I thought she'd forget about me, and not turn up so I just waged the day of school.

The next day started off calmly enough. I got up and arrived twenty minutes late to school, then apologized to the teacher for coming late. I did my school work, recess came and went, then we had S.O.S.E. I was hoping she had forgot'n about me. I walked in with a big smile, but she didn't look my way. Thank the gods she forgot, so the class went on well. The class was a double and when lunchtime came, I put on my favorite baseball hat and started walking out when a hand grabbed my shoulder. My blood went cold when I heard the deep voice say, "Stay here." Who the hell does she think she is?

The answer was easy 'my teacher.' You see, it's the year 2020 and the teachers are back to that hitting students and stuff. If you don't listen, they hit you. Yet by gods, if I can help it, nobody is going to hit me. Not even my bloody own mother has hit me.

I heard the door close with a bang and then I looked up. A pair of very angry, blue eyes looked at me. Boy was I scared. But did she look sexy when she was angry. I then looked down and noticed the... stick in her hand. I stepped back in fright. Except, she just moved forward.

She continued moving closer to me and I just kept shifting back, I looked around hoping to find a door or window to run out of, but no such luck. I wanted to tell her, no beg her, to leave me alone. However, that would only make things worse, and I won't cry cause that would show my weakness to her. So I just kept walking back until, bang! Oh fuck, I just hit my head on the fuckin' wall.

Okay, so now was the time for crying and I did. The salty tears fell over my cheeks - I cried. I held up my hands to stop the stick "Please I...I won't do it again just...just don't hit me with that thing. I swear I won't... won't be smart, but please don't hit me...please." I was on my knees with my face in my hands crying openly. "Please don't," I whispered in a plea.

When I didn't feel the slap of the stick on my backside, I was worried she was waiting for me to stand up or stop crying before she gave me my punishment. But then I heard her kneel down softly in front of me, gently lifting my face up. I just gazed at her.

I was scared shitless now and I started shaking but she kept on pulling my face up to look at her eyes. Finally opening my eyes, I looked into gentle, blue eyes "Kate, hey, don't worry. I'm not going to hit you." I looked up in shock, but that soon turned into embarrassment. I could feel my face turn hot. Yet, I was still scared plus hoping she wouldn't hit me when I least expected it. " I'm sorry miss..."

'Ohh, I thought. I wonder what her first name is? See, as I said, everything has changed from the early 2000's. Now were not even allowed to know any teachers' names until they tell you. I can't just go, 'What's your name?' That would be like a threat to them and then I would be slapped.

"Okay, Miss...Miss Amphipolis. I'm sorry, I thought you were gonna hit me when you grabbed the stick. I just don't like it," I revealed shakily; I couldn't stop shaking.

"Calm down Kate, nobody likes the stick," she reassured gently. Just ten minutes ago she was this cold bitch and now she acted like Mother Goose.

"Don't be," she answered. After awhile, I couldn't stand the silence she kept looking into my bloody eyes and it was driving me crazy. I was getting nervous again, so I dropped my head only to have my chin lifted again, gently. Okay I mused, keep calm, she just likes your eyes. I didn't expect the next thing she told me.

I quickly got up and grabbed my bag; I didn't even bother to put it on my back. She scared me and I wanted out. One minute she was a cold bitch, then the next she was nice. But before walking out I heard her voice very softly say, "You have very lovely eyes, Kate" I didn't bother to glance back.

Getting home was another problem, I'm not a very popular kid at school, I can be a smart-ass. My temper and mouth have gotten me in some very serious trouble. That's when I came across the most popular group in the school, they called themselves the "Deer Park Chicks". My ass, all six girls are fuckin' bitches if you ask me. Knowing they would have seen me, I walked the other way and hoped they would leave me alone. Nope, they had to start me.

I turned around, looking like I had just seen them. They were all tall with brown hair, except the leader of the group named Calli. Calli was a tall, skinny blonde with deep, brown eyes. She may be hot, but a bitch to the top.

"Home," She repeated and circled around me. "You'll be crawling home after we're finished with you. I still haven't gotten you back from the punch you gave me last week." Shit I didn't remember that. I looked at her cheek. I could see she still had the yellow mark where the bruise was fading.

Scanning around the area - I saw that the street was dead; everybody was at work. I started to walk briskly through the alleys since not many people come here, if any.

The first punch hit me in the jaw and I knew I would have an ugly bruise soon. I felt a punch hit my back. They were all hitting me everywhere at one time and I couldn't help but cry out, which made them enjoy it more. The pain was so bad I almost black out.

I tried getting some punches in. I had hit a couple of girls on the left, who in return gave me a punch to the jaw again. I was almost at the end of my ropes when I heard Calli call out.

I fell to the ground, hard, but I was not gonna let her just walk away. I got painfully to my feet and yelled. "You fuckin' coward... you need five girls to do your dirty work." I was answered with a hard slap across the face. She then whispered into my ear, "You're lucky your alive shorty."

After they walked off, I collasped down on the ground and laid there for about ten minutes. Tears of pain ran down my face. Before I got up, I was hit with dizziness and waited for it to go away. Then I started to walk home; I almost screamed from the pain walking created.

It hurt everywhere. I was sore like something had run over me. I finally made it to my house. Opening the gate I walked to the door and opened it. I walked in and closed the door before the darkness overcame me.

I woke up, still on the floor, and stared at the clock. I'd only been out seven minutes. Mum would be home soon so I painfully lifted myself up and walked to the shower. The entire way, I wished I'd die and go to heaven or hell. Who cared? Anything was better than this fuckin' pain.

After I slowly took off my clothes, I glanced at myself in the mirror. I was horrified to find about eight big, ugly bruises on my chest and legs. Then a big, ugly bruise on my jaw, which was all black and blue. Whether I like it or not, I'll have to go to school. I made a cool bath and prayed it would help the swelling go down.

I knew I wouldn't be able to hide the bruising this time. She opened the door and I knew, without looking, that she had seen the bruises. I gave a weak smile and Itried lightening the mood by asking, "Hi mum, why so quiet?"

"Mum hel... help me up out of here." After I got out and put my favorite baby blue pajamas on, mum had helped me into bed.

"What? Why?" I asked in shock. She never lets me stay home. I have to wag to get a day. Even if I wanted to stay home I could not.

'Think quickly, think quickly,' I had told myself. "I have a test, a really important test for math. I can't miss it mum, you know that."

"You did Kate. Don't lie to me, you know how much I hate that." She took a deep breath." I had a phone call from Miss Amphipolis yesterday saying you were very rude and that you have a very bad mouth. Young lady, Miss Amphipolis is only three years older than you, but she is very smart. That is why she is a teacher at such a young age. You're not going to get anywhere if you wag all your bloody school days."

"Yes, mum." I could only answer because my mind was elsewhere. Three years older? Wow, when I think about it she did look a bit young. Yet, with her height of almost six feet it made her look much older. Hang on, how did mum know that?

"I've got my ways, now bedtime if you want to make it to school on time tomorrow. You need your sleep cause you're gonna be mighty sore when you wake up, night." Mum gave me a quick kiss on the forehead then walked out, turning the lights off on the way.

I woke up to a very sore body. Getting up I got painfully dressed, checking the time to see it was already 8:30. Here we go, I'm gonna be late again.

I made it out of the door at 9:15. I was in so much pain with every step I took, but I had S.O.S.E second period and I was not going to let Miss Amphipolis see me in pain. My face may have had a bruise, but I'd just tell her I fell off my bike and hit my face. Yep that should work.

First period would have gone quickly, that was if everybody would have just stopped staring at me. I couldn't take it anymore so I asked to be excused and went for a walk, hoping to calm my nerves.

I was getting nervous again and my hands were shaking. Eventually, I sat in the bathroom until I heard the second period bell sound. Getting painfully up, I slowly walked to my S.O.S.E class. I walk in and for once wasn't late. I didn't look at anybody, just kept my head down so nobody could see my face. Not even tall, dark and dangerous saw my face. I went to a seat in the dark corner at the back of the room. I listened to her speak.

"Good morning, class. We're going to talk about the government." By the end of the class I was beyond bored and in pain. I shouldn't have come to class at all, I'm sooo sore. I quickly got up feeling a bit of dizziness, but it finally passed. I walked out into the schoolyard finding my favorite corner behind the class rooms - I sat. I pulled my knees to my chest and cried my eyes out because the soreness was getting worse every minute. I just wanted to get into my bed and sleep till all the pain disappeared. I must have passed out cause the next time I woke up I was at home.

"Fuck!" I screamed. God the fuckin' pain, I was burning hot and hurt everywhere. I peered up at a concerned 'teacher' watching me. I saw something in her eyes, but then it passed.

"A student found you behind the classrooms asleep and came and told me because I was doing yard duty today. I picked you up and called your mum. She just went to the shop to get you some painkillers. I cleaned up the bruises the best I could."

Keeping my head down I whispered sheepishly, "Thank you, miss... but I'm okay now." God I really needed to go to the bathroom but I didn't want to get up in the nude in front of her.

She turned around and I quickly jumped off the bed only to feel searing pain. Knees buckled, I was falling to the floor... and fast.

Once I finished, I slowly trudged into my room painfully again and sat heavily on my bed. Once I pulled the covers up over my body, I told her she could turn around.

"Yep," she responded with a smile, a smile that had just brightened her whole face. My mouth went dry - I needed water. "But only when we're off school grounds," Tina added.

"What do you mean next week? I've got school tomorrow... and I can't take a day off. I don't have any left," I rambled on softy as I put my head down.

Tina lifted my head up again and with a serious voice, she replied, "Don't worry about it, okay? I'll take care of things."

I hadn't seen her for a whole week and I was starting to get nervous about going back to school again. All the bruises had faded and only one hurt. It was the one on my lower stomach, where one of the bitches gave me a hard one.

Monday came and went, I still hadn't seen her or been to her house. She wasn't at school today, and I felt a deep pain in my chest at not seeing her.

When I went home I changed out of my school clothes and into a pair of faded blue jeans and white tank top, and went next door.

"Oh." Then it clicked. Calli!? "Um you did say Calli right?" I inquired while I walked through her house. I turned around the corner where Tina and somebody else had been talking in the kitchen - it was Calli.

She turned around, gave me that evil smile of hers and taunted in a sweet voice, "Hellooo Kate, you look good." She gave me an up and down examination.

I just gave her a dirty look. "Um, I just came to say..." I trailed off when I discovered that Tina was not looking at me, but was instead mouth-locked in a passionate kiss with Calli. Why did I feel jealous? That answer was easy, I think I'd fallen in love with Tina. But in such a short time? Well, that was how loved worked.

So instead of finishing what I was going to say, I ran out of the door. I felt my heart being ripped apart all the way home.

That night I sat on my bed and cried. I just cried and cried. My heart felt like it was torn apart that day. I went to sleep and only thought about Tina.

I was awakened up by a low tapping sound, somebody was at my window in the middle of the fuckin' night. Yet, I crawled out of bed and went to my window. I found Tina there. I quickly opened the small window and she crawled in.

"What's wrong Tina? It's the middle of the night," I whispered in concern. She looked at me nervously. She was wearing black jeans and a red tank top. Her hair was everywhere, but to me she looked drop dead gorgeous.

"Yeah, well, I didn't want to see her." Ah shit, I realized the moment I said that I'd regret it, considering the relationship between Calli and Tina.

"Nothing," I brushed off and pulled the cover up to my chest. "I have to go to bed," I stated in hopes of dropping the topic.

"No," she said. She grabbed me and stopped me from turning away from her. "Tell me why; what did she do? " Tina's tone was angry but not directed at me, I could tell by the way her eyes became protective over me.

I was so upset from everything, I hopped out of my bed. I went across my room in the hope of calming down, but I couldn't, so I yelled, "You want to know what the fuck she did to me?!" I asked as I whirled around. "She's the person, her and her gang, that beat me. You saw what happened to me last week. She she did it!" That was when I started crying hard. Tina came over quickly and pulled me into a soft embrace.

After I relaxed and stopped crying I looked up at Tina. Then I let my feelings take control, I pulled her mouth down to mine, our lips met in a blaze of liquid fire. Several moments later, I pulled away from Tina and looked directly into dark blue eyes that were filled with passion.

My breath caught in my throat, fear took over my body. Had I just said that? I wanted desperately to make love to Tina and for her to be my first.

Tina was quiet for a moment, emotions flickered across her face then she asked, "Kate, are you sure? This means forever for me.... I need to know that it means the same for you. If we do this there will be no turning back," she stated.

Tina bent forward and lifted me into her arms, she started heading towards my bed, being very careful not to bump into anything. She laid me gently on the bed and then crawled over me with twinkling blue eyes.

I told her about my love about two weeks after that night. Tina then told me she fell in love with me the first time she'd seen me waiting outside in the rain. And as for Calli, the following day after Tina and I had been together, Calli got the stick from Tina. Did Calli ever regret beating me; then she was kicked out of school. I moved in with Tina a year after that night.
