*Acelynn's POV*

I felt the cold, wet ground underneath my fallen body. My books had scattered everywhere when I was tripped so I jumped to my feet and began to quickly pick them up. I heard laughing coming from every direction, people calling me names, mocking me. I felt the tears make there way to the surface but quickly pushed them back down. I would not cry and make myself look even weaker then I already did.

"Awww, did the fat whale fall down?" Adrianna asked in a mocking voice. I opened my mouth to shoot a smart ass comment but quickly closed it knowing that it would only cause me more trouble.

"That's what I thought." Adrianna sneered at me. I kept my eyes focused on the ground, not making eye contact with anyone. I didn't need to see there looks of hatred and mockery. Adrianna didn't say anything more to me, she simply snapped her fingers and her little puppets followed her to the entrance of the school.

I looked up when I thought they were gone but quickly realized that was a mistake. Jarvis, Josh and four other boys stood in front of me. I stayed frozen in place, not moving an inch in fear they would strike out and hit me.

"Hmmm. What do we have here?" Jarvis the ring leader of my torture and the alpha of the pack said. The four boys, who I don't know the names of, started to circle me. Jarvis and my brother, Josh, stood off to the side watching with a smirk on there lips.

"It looks to me like we have a fat, ugly, whale on our hands." Josh replied to Jarvis's earlier question. The boys circling me laughed.

"It seems your right my friend, but what should we do with it?" None of the boys, or anyone really, called me by my name. They all called me whale, or ugly, but the most commonly used was, 'it' . Jarvis and Josh now joined the four boys that were circling me, making it impossible for me to escape.

"I think that we should-" before josh could finish his sentence a loud horrible wailing sound was heard, other wise know as the school bell. I tried to step through the circle that they had made around me but one of the boys pushed me back in.

"Now were do you think your going whale?" Jarvis asked.

"It's time to go to class." I replied, barely above a whisper. He smirked and opened his mouth to reply, but before he could I heard the voice of an angel.

"Get to class right now,and leave that poor girl alone!" Principle Davis yelled. He always tried to help me with the bullying, but there isn't much he can do, seeing as Jarvis's the alpha and has control over him. Jarvis glared at me and yelled back,

"Yes Principle Davis." He nodded to his group of boys to follow him. As he was walking past me he leaned over and whispered in my ear,

"You'll get it later." And with that he walked past me and into the school. I stood there for a few seconds collecting my thoughts. When I finally had a clear head I turned around to see Mr. Davis standing there watching me. I nodded to him and smiled as I walked into the school.

The hall ways were empty now, first period had started five minutes ago and I knew that I was going to get it from my first period teacher, Mrs. Travis. She was a horrible English teacher and would probably make me write a five page essay.

I was now standing in front of the door, not ready to push it open, but knew I had to. I quietly opened the door and stepped into the class. Mrs. Travis stopped what she was saying and the rest of the class turned there heads and stared at me.

"And why are you five minutes late to my class, Ms. Haley?" Mrs. Travis practically yelled at me. I flinched back at her loud tone but answered in a small voice,

"I slept in, I'm sorry." I knew I couldn't tell her the truth because she would probably just laugh at me. She gave me a long hard glare and said,

"Very well. You will write me a five page essay on the importance of being on time and literature." And there's the essay I knew was coming. I nodded my head and scurried to my seat at the back of the class. Mrs. Travis continued on with her lesson, something about the importance of commas or something. I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote my name on it.

I tried to focus on the essay that I needed to write but my mind kept drifting to my parents and my bullies. Jarvis and Adrianna made it a goal of there to bully and torture me every chance they got. I always tried not to let it get to me but it always did. I know that I'm not the best looking girl or the skinniest but I didn't think that I deserved this kind of treatment. It all started two years ago, after my father died.

I pushed those thoughts from my mind not wanting to break out in tears and give people another thing to mock me about. I focused on my essay again and had it finished before the end of the class. The rest of the day continued on like it normally would, moving from class to class, getting tripped and insulted every class period, skipping lunch. When the final bell of the day rang I was up out of my seat and through the door before anyone else.

I nearly ran to my locker, opened it and threw my stuff in. I made my way out the front doors of the school and walked through the parking lot, avoiding anybody I knew would pick on me. I turned the corner and started the long walk home. When my dad died he left all the money he owned to me and my two siblings. Josh and Adrianna spent it like there was no tomorrow, but I saved everything I got and only spent it when I really had to.

I spotted our large house, more like castle, ahead. Ok it's not really a castle it's just a very large, three story house with twenty bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. I never understood why we needed such a big house, with it only being mom, dad, Josh, Adrianna and me. Well now there's only four of use, actually five because Jarvis lives with us.

I made my way to the large front door and found it open, josh and Jarvis must already be here, yay! Note the sarcasm. As soon as I had the door open I heard loud music blaring through the speakers. I quietly made my way through the house, avoiding every one. I almost made it to the stairs. Key word, almost.

"Eww! What are you doing here?" One of Adrianna's blonde bimbo friends asked. I turned around and said,

"I live here, ya know." She had a frown on her face, surely because of the fact I just made her look stupid.

"Ugg! Who cares about you!" She yelled as she stomped away. That made absolutely no sense, but whatever. I rolled my eyes and started to make my way upstairs until I felt icy coldness surround my body. I shrieked and turned around to see Adrianna holding a big pitcher that most likely held icy cold water.

Every one in the house erupted into laughter, some even taking pictures of my shocked expression. I turned around and ran upstairs to my room. I slammed the door and locked it. Running to my shower I turned it on steaming hot, ripped off my soaked clothes and jumped into the warm water. I immediately felt the hot water surround my cold body.
