They already decided what I am. New kid. Transfer. Record. Dangerous. I’ve only been here a week and the stares follow me down every hallway like I’m something waiting to explode. Yesterday I saw her get shoved into the lockers. I didn’t step in. I told myself it wasn’t my business. I just stood there, hands in my pockets, memorizing faces and the sound of their laughter.
Today, on my way to lunch, it happens again.
Her books spill across the floor, papers sliding over the tile. She drops with them, scrambling to gather everything before anyone can step on it. Get the fuck out the way, bitch. one of the girls sneers, shoving her shoulder like she weighs nothing.
That’s it.
I move without thinking. Slow. Controlled. I step between them and her, blocking their line of sight. I don’t touch anyone. Don’t raise my voice. I just look at them. The hallway quiets the way it does before a storm. They know the rumors about me. They don’t know what’s true, and that works in my favor.
One of them scoffs, mutters something under her breath, but they back off. All of them. They weren’t expecting resistance.
When they’re gone, I crouch and gather her books before she can finish. My fingers brush the edges of crumpled pages. She looks at me like she’s unsure if this is another setup.
I hold the stack out to her. Come on, I say quietly, firm but steady. Let’s get you to lunch.
It isn’t pity. It isn’t charity. It’s a decision.
