You're Not Alone Chapter 8

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Go to the bathroom and check in the mirror.” Jake said.

We walked into a nearby bathroom, and I looked into a mirror.

“Oh, that.” I said, looking at the giant bruise on my face and the scrape that was bleeding near my eye.

“It’s nothing.” I said, looking away from the mirror.

“What the f**k do you mean by ‘nothing’! It’s a giant a*s bruise and scrape!” He started screaming.

“Guys, are you alright?” I heard from outside the bathroom door. It was Michelle.

“Yeah, we’re fine.” I said, ignoring Jake.

I walked out, and Michelle was standing there, staring at me.

“What�"“ She started saying.

“It’s nothing. Jake already asked about it. I’ll just put some water and makeup on it, and it will go away.” I said, interrupting her and taking out my makeup kit.

“You bring that to school?” Jake and Michelle said at the same time.

“Yeah.” I responded.

“Okay, well go put some on before people notice and start asking more questions.” Michelle said, as I walked back into the bathroom.

“So you are gay.” Jake stated.

I looked at him, nodded, and put on my makeup. We walked back out again, and Michelle was still standing there.

“So then you won’t mind if I do this?” He said, pushing me against a wall.

Michelle gasped as Jake pushed his lips against mine, still pushing me against the wall. Suddenly, the bell rang, and he let go, walking away.

“What the f**k was that about?” I said, falling onto the ground, staring at the people walking around us.

“I have no clue.” Michelle responded, sitting next to me.
