Frank and I simultaneously exclaimed,"What?!"

---

After my dad had said that we got into a screaming match that ended with me being sent to my room to pack. A few minutes later Frank walked into my room and sat on my bed watching me. I angrily threw clothing, make-up, and other necessities into my small suitcase.
"So my mom said we were sharing a room and that until other 'arrangements' were made that we would be sharing a bed," Frank said uncomfortably glancing at me to see my reaction.
"This just keeps getting better and better doesn't it," I stated sarcastically.
"Go into my bathroom and get my straight iron, shampoo, and conditioner," I ordered, not really mad at him but at our parents.
"Fine," he walked into the small room and came back in carrying the items and throwing them in the suitcase.
I sat down on my bed next to him and hugged him. He froze but relaxed as I started mumbling into his shoulder,"I'm sorry I'm being so rude but my dad moved us here on short notice and now he's leaving and I'll be alone again and I'm taking it out on you."
He started rubbing my back as I forced my tears back.
"I understand Avery, I know what it's like to be alone but i don't want either of us to ever be alone again," he said sadly.
We separated and awkwardly stared at each other and just as he was about to say something his mom called him to go home.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning, Ave, goodnight," he said bringing me in for one more hug.
"Goodnight, Frank," I mumbled.

After Frank and his mother had left I thought about all of the events of my life. How my mom had died and how I had gotten raped at 16. I had never cut but a lot of times I would tell myself how ugly I was and how no one would ever love me because my virginity had been stolen by an inconsiderate asshole who had no respect for women. It was in times like these where I was thinking back when I needed my mom the most, but knowing I wouldn't be able to talk to her ever again made it even worse. Finally deciding to try and sleep off the troubling thoughts Icrawled into bed.

The next morning I woke up at 7:15 and got ready for the grueling school day ahead of me. After getting dressed I heard a knock on my door and then Frank walked in.
"Hey, how'd you sleep," he inquired.
"Like a hyperactive squirrel," I replied, putting on my mascara.
"I'm not sure if that's good or bad..."
"It's bad," I stated simply, grabbing my house key and walking out the door.

Once I walked through the doors of my school I felt all eyes turn on me.
Whispering to Frank, I questioned him,"Do you know why all of the school is looking at me like I murdered a man?"
"No idea," he whispered back.

First, second, third, and fourth period went by fine. But when I walked into my fifth period room I saw "The Bitch" as I had now nicknamed her.
"What's up, Bitch," she said blowing a bubble with her gum.
"Oh nothing, just minding my own business trying to avoid this girl who keeps trying to insult me with crappy one liners," I replied setting my books down and situating my Misfits shirt.
"Haha, very funny fatty."
"Wow I'm so insulted, I mean I didn't know being a healthy weight was the new fat"
"Whatever, you better watch your fucking back cuz my clique is out to get you," she said looking confident that she had scared.
"Look woman, I have no time for your shit so if you could stop using half-assed threats against me I'd like to read," I said taking out my new book.
"Well this isn't the last you'll be seeing of me and I'd watch your back in lunch today."

As I walked to sit with Frank, Gerard, Mikey, and Ray a girl came up and smacked my tray out of my hands.
"I knew the school food was bad, but do you really have to shove it on the floor," I questioned sarcastically.
Then another girl came up and grabbed my long hair.
"Oh, hello friend, I didn't notice you there," I snarled elbowing her in the stomach making her flinch and let go of my hair.
Then another girl came up and tried to slap me, but I ended up punching her in the face. Whoops.
By this time most of the high school was gathered in a circle around us. But things turned south when I saw the principle heading our way.
