arghh i was in the middle of typing and it all disappeared. how lovely. So lets try this again..ah you know what I'l type it up on something else first.
okay its 7 in the morning I have not slept so there is going to be a good deal of typos.
This story is old anyways
I wasn't originally gonna post it. But I'm bored and have nothing better to do while I wait for daylight.
So yeh.
Why all the typing magically disappeared on quizilla is beyond me..so now I'm doing it on wordpad.
darned quizilla..i had been typing off and on since 4.
anyways this is just an old story I wrote because of a nightmare I had. I wrote this in 8th grade and I am now a senior in high school, so that tells you how old it is . haha.
I am in Base class. I take the pass to go to my locker to get something. Bryant Howell asks Mrs. Nunn if he can sign out. Mrs. Nunn tells him that he doesn't ened to sign out and that he can just go.
I go to my locker and he sneaks up behind me and pushes me against the lockers. He tries to kiss me but I turn my face so he misses. I kick his knee cap. He says "Ouch..You Fxxken bxxxh!"
I run but the moment I start running I remember that he is really fast. He catches me before I even get to Mrs. Smith's room. He pushes me back against the lockers. He grabs ahold of both of my wrists and yet again fails at kissing me. He puts my hands together and holds my wrists with one hand and takes something out of his pocket with the other. It is a pocket knife. As he takes it out I kick him again and try to run. He catches me and cuts my arm with the knife. It hurt so badly but I was trying not to cry. I try to push him off but he slaps me.
I say "Get off. Stop it, Bryant. Let me go, please!" My voice is shaky because I couldn't help it. I had to cry.
As he kisses me he slowly moves his hands towards the button on my jeans. I start to struggle again so he slaps me. He reaches for the button again. I feel very powerless, but I slap him. He slaps me back only harder. I push him and try to escape again but I fail. He grabs me and pushes me back against the locckrs really hard. My wrist hits a locker and gets sprung. I fall to my knees crying.
"Why do you keep on fighting and trying to escape? You know I'm stronger and faster than you." He said. I stood up and was about ready to run again when he grabbed me. He took off my clothes and raped me. He tells me that if I tell anyone the same fate would befall my friend, Joy.
I put my clothes back on and we both go back to Base class looking like we had gotten into a fight with someone. I, of course, looked the worse.
"Did you guys get into a fight or something?" My crush, Seth asked. He sat at the same table as us for base.
"No." I said.
"Then what the hell happened?" He asked.
"Seth," I said "one of these days you are going to have to learn how to mind your own business."
I was still crying. You could see the tears in my eyes, though I did not make a sound. My voice was shaky from crying and being afraid. My hands were shaking as well.
"What is wrong, Kendra? you are crying." Seth asked.
"You wouldn't understand.." I said. "And even if you did understand, you wouldn't care."
The bell rings and I go to my locker (which was one of the lockers I was pushed up against). I had an instant flashback of what had just happened a few minutes ago.
My friend Ashley sees the tears in my eyes and asks me what is wrong. Seath heard and lookeda t me hoping that I would answer her.
"Nothing." I tell her.
I go to reading class. Mandi asks what's wrnog but I yet again say "nothing."
"What hapepned to your face?" she asked.
"Um..I fell." I said, hoping she was dumb enough to fall for it. She was easily fooled but Seth didn't believe the story.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I already told you, I fell."
"Yeh right," Seth said "I can tell that those are slap marks."
Luckily Mrs. Smith walked in so I did nto have to answer. But, she asw my face and asked what happened. Mandi told her that I fell. I could tell that Mrs. Smith didn't believe the story.
Later on into the class we were eating because of Mr. Dipasquale and Mr. Talor's party. They were student teachers at my school and they would be leaving soon, so this was their going away party.Everyone was too interested in the party to notice that Mrs. Smith pulled me out into the hall. Seth was the only one who noticed. He went to the door to listen.
"What really happened?" She asked
"If I'm not going to tell Mandi then I'm obviously not going to tell you. I can't tell anybody." I said.
"If someone in this school hurt you, they might hurt someone else." Mrs. Smith said.
"Leave me alone." I said. I came back into the room and Seth wrote me a ntoe asking who did it.
"Leave me alone." i wrote.
"So," Mrs. Smith said, "Are you going to tell me who it was?"
"No one did anything." I said. "I fell."
"Mr. DiPasquale walked in and I asked him if he tried one of the cookies I baked.
"Which ones did you make?" He asked.
"The one's with pictures of you and Mr. Taylor on them. I made them and my mom took them somewhere to get the pictures put on them." I told him.
"No." he said.
"Try one." I said. "They are really good."
"Okay." he said
He went and got one. "Mmm. These are good."
"I told you so." I said.
"What happened to your face?" He asked curiously.
"I fell."
The bell rings and I go to homeroom for channel 1. Seth, yet again, asks me what happened along with Mrs. Hinaman and Joy.
"I fell." Was all I said. And then Bryant walked in and Mrs. Hinzman gave him a test that he had to make up and he sat in the desk behind me. He kept pulling my hair and grabbing my butt. I took a piece of paper out and wrote on it: "Bryant..leave me alone."
"Make me." He wrote. I took another piece of paper and started to write Seth a note. On Bryant's note I wrote: "Please leave me alone, Bryant."
"No." He wrote.
"I am going to tell." I wrote.
"No you won't. Remember what we discussed earlier."
"Okay, I won't tell. just please don't hurt my friends." I wrote.
"Will you go out with me?" He wrote.
"You had better get to work on that test." I wrote.
"You'll have to answer me sooner or later." he wrote.
"Give me soem time to think about it." I wrote.
'I will give you until tomorrow." He wrote.
"Will you please take your hands off of me?" I wrote.
"No." He wrote.
"Get to work on your test." I repeated.
"Give me the asnwers."
"It is really easy. Why don't you do it yourself?" I asked.
"Because it would be so much easier to have you give me the answers." He wrote.
"Why should I?"
"You know what will happen if you don't."
"Okay. What is the first question?"
I helped him with the stupid test and wrote Seth a note saying "Tell Bryant to leave me alone."
Seth looked at Bryant and whispered "Bryant, get your hands off of her."
"Why should I?" Bryant asked.
"Because I told you to." Seth said angrily.
"Make me." Bryant said.
"Do you want to fight?!" Seth said as he got up out of his seat, ready to punch Bryant in the face. Just then Mrs. Hinzman walked in. She told Seth to sit down.
"No." Seth said.
"Sit down or go to the office." mrs. Hinzman said.
"Seth, Just forget about it and sit down." I said.
"No." He said stubbornly.
"Please." I said.
"Okay, but if he bothers you again let me know and I will kick his ass." Seth said. he sat down. Bryant wrote: Don't forget to keep your mouth shut.
"I won't tell anyone."I wrote.
"Don't forget you have an answer to give me tomorrow." he added. Bryant got up and left the room. I started crying again. Mrs. Hinzman told Seth to fill out a lunch detention.
"For what?" He asked.
"Getting out of your seat for no apparent reason." She said.
"I'm not filling it out." Seth said.
"Then you can go to the office." She said.
"I don't give a fuck. I'm not filling it out." he said.
"Mrs. Hinzman, he was out of his seat because Bryant wouldn't leave me alone so I asked Seth if he could get me to leave me alone. SO he got up and was telling Bryant to leave me alone." I said nervously.
"Okay." Mrs. Hinzman said. "But next time try to refrain from using such language." After Channel one was over I went to lunch, but I didn't eat. I didn't feel like it. Bryant sat in one of the seats beside of me. When Seth saw this he sat in the other empty seat beside of me.
My friends noticed that I wasn't eating so they asked why.
"I'm not hungry." i said.
"You need to eat, Kendra." heather said.
"i don't feel like it."
Bryant kept on harassing me during lunch and Seth had to keep telling him to stop. Bryant, of course, wouldn't listen.
"If you don't leave me alone, I'm seriously going to slap you." i said.
"No you won't." He said.
"Give me one good reason why I shoudln't."
"Remember what we talked about earlier." Bryant threatened.
"Leave her alone, Bryant." Both heather and Seth said at the same time.
"No..I don't think I will." said Bryant.
"Bryant, the only reason why I haven't punched you already is because Kendra told me not to." Seth said threateningly.
Bryant grabbed my butt. i decided that I had had enough. I slappe dhim as hard as I could, unfortunately for me, he could slap ten times harder..and he did.
"Are you okay?!" Seth and my other friends asked. Seth was glaring daggers at Bryant.
"Anyone have a mirror?" i asked. Mandi did so I took it and looked at my reflection. My face was bleeding. Bryant must have slapped me pretty hard. No wonder it hurt so bad.
"yeh...I'm okay.' I said, even though my face was hurting like crazy. Seth could tell that I wasn't being one hundred percent truthful but he didn't point it out.
"I can't put any foundation on over it until it stops bleeding.'' I said.
"At last, the bell rang. I went to math class because we weren't having seventh because of the party. Seth sat beside me inMath. I put my head down and cried softly.
"Face hurting?" Seth asked.
"A bit." I said.
"you shoudl tell someone." He said.
"I can't." I said. "You don't know everything..that he..did."
"Exactly what else did he do?" Seth asked. He looked into my eyes and saw the truth. "He raped you, didn't he?" He asked.
I nodded. "He told me that if I told anyone he was going to hurt my friends."
"That son of a bitch!" he said angrily. "He deserves to die."
Just then Mrs. Smith walked in. She asked Mrs. Hinzman if she could talk to her in the hall so they went out and shut the door. I saw them looking in on me through the door's window.
"Great." i said to Seth. "They're gonna take me out in the hall and try to get the truth out of me. I don't suppose they are going to believe that I fell."
"Well maybe it would be better for you to tell. Then you'd be much safer."
"My loyalty doesn't lie with my safety. It lies with my friends."
"If you tell, I am sure they can do something to keep your friends safe too."
"There is nothign they can do."
Just then, Mrs. SMith called "kendra, can you come out into the hall for a second please." i got up and started walking towards the teachers. Then all the sudden the fire drill went off and I found Seth through the crowd of people.
"Did you tell them?" He asked.
"No, they didn't even have time to ask me about what happened before the alarm started going off." Then, passing a stair case, someone grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth. I bit Bryant's hand and yelled for Seth. He punched Bryant and told me to run. I told him to come with me because Bryant had a knife in his pocket and I didn't want to see Seth get hurt. He kicked Bryant in the stomach hard, grabbed my hand, and we ran outside together.
"I hope we stay out here for a while because I don't know what to say to Mrs Smith and Mrs. Hinzman."
Just tlel them the truth." Seth said.
"But..I can't. I'm afraid." I said. "We shouldn't be out long because Bryant used that alarm as a diversion to try to get me alone."
"Well, it didn't work, did it?" Seth said.
"oh no, here comes the teachers."
"may we have a word with you in private, Kendra?"
"Just tell them the truth.' Seth said. So I did. I begged them not to tell anyone and not to let him know that tehy knew because of the threat that he had made. I told them all about all the harassment that I was going through by Bryant and that the alarm was a diversion to get me alone. I told them to take it easy on Seth because he was helping me get through and keeping me safe. When I was finished they said: "You do know that we will have to at least tell your mom."
"yeh, I know." i whispered. "but please don't tell anyone else."
"Can we tell the other teachers so tehy take it easy on your grades because you are having a really tough time?"
"Okay, but tel them not to let him know that tey know." The two teachers gave me their sympathy and told me that they were there if I needed to talk. Then they let me go back to Seth. he gave me a questioning look. "I told them everything." I said.
The alarm stopped and they let us all go back to class. When we got to class Seth said "Hey, do you maybe wanna hang out at North School today? Myabe I can try to cheer you up some."
"Sure." i said.
"Okay, meet me in the school parking lot at 5:30."
A girl that didn't like me at all, one of those preppies that really had a thing for Seth, said in a rather whiney voice, "Mrs. Hinzman please tell them not to set up dates in the middle of class."
"Shalae, maybe you shouldn't be listening to their conversation in the first place." Mrs. hinzman said.
"Hmph!"
My friend Ashlee-Amber laughed , she also didn't particuarly favor Shalae. Even Seth and I smield slightly.
The bell rang and we went tou our seats for homeroom. Ashlee-Amber and I started passing a note back and forth and so did me and Seth, because we didn't want anyone to overhear our conversation. Seth wrote me a note asking if I was going to tell AA. I said "I guess I'm going to have to since she's my friend and I already told all those other people." I wrote her a note telling her everything that happened.
"I bet you the teachers are going to make him suffer." Seth wrote.
AA wrote: What?! I'm so sorry Kendra, Are you okay? Anything I can do to help? Have you told anyone? Can I kick his butt for you?"
To Seth I wrote: "haha yeh. they probably will.' And to AA I wrote: "Yes I'm okay, nothing you can do, cept maybe be a part o fthe strong support system I need, and yes I told Mrs. Hinzman and Smith. And no, you can't kick his butt. He threatened to hurt my friends and me if I told anyone, so in other words, you don't know."
Seth wrote: "How did AA react?"
"Well, I guess, shocked, surprised, angry, and feeling sorry for me like most friends would"
Seth: "Can I please kick his ass?"
To both AA and Seth I wrote: "I have another problem..Bryant asked me out and I can't say no, but I really would rather not go out with him."
Seth wrote, 'If you don't wanna go out with him then say no. I'll protect you."
AA wrote: "Are you sure there is nothing I can do? I could put your friends in the witness protection program. (Just trying to make you laugh a bit.)"
I wrote to Seth: Thank you."
And AA: "Yeh, I'm sure. And your attempt worked. :)"
Seth wrote : you're welcome. I'm here for you if you need me."
AA wrote : "Okay, I notice you and Seth are passing notes back and forth. Kendra, you naughty girl, is there something I should know? (Naughty girl part is another attemt at a laugh."
To AA I wrote: "Your attempt worked again, and Seth is just being helpful and trying to cheer me up. I knew this note would turn onto the subject of him sooner or later." And then the bell rang for walkers to leave,. My friend Joy moved over to sit beside me and we talked for a bit. Me and Seth started talking about different things because we didn't have any more to say on the subject of Bryant. We were reading the first Harry Potter book in Reading Class and Seth had been failing every quiz and not doing the journal entries so I reminded him to actually read tonight. The bell rang. I went to my locker. Instant flashback again.
"You okay?" Seth asked.
"yeah. Fine." i said. I opened my locker and got my stuff out. I couldn't help it but notice Bryant was taking his time, hoping Seth would go away which I quickly pointed out to Seth, who decided to wait for me. Bryant still walked by me and as he did so he grabbed my butt , which Seth noticed. So Seth started to stand up. I quickly shut my locker loudly to get Seth's attention off of Bryant for a second. Seth and I walked to the bus. He sat with me and we talked, and of course, people gave us odd glances because we had never really talked before let alone sat together. Seth was kind enough to get off at my stop and walk me home. When we got to my houes he said : "See you at five thirty."
"Bye."
I went into my house where mom and dad had both been waiting for me. I had to tell them what happened because mom mentioned a call from Mrs. Smith. Mom hugged me and both her and dad asked if I was okay. "Yeh." i said. I did my homework while mom phoned the police. My parents then took me to the hospital to get a rape kit done, just in case I decided to go to court. It old them I would think about it. At 5:25 I told mom that I was going to the school playground. i went to the school and saw that Seth was there waiting for me. "Hey." He said.
"Hi."
"Did the teachers call your parents?" he asked.
'yes. I had to tell them everything. they called the cops and I had to do a rape kit and everything."
"Are you going to press charges?" He asked.
"I don't know yet. I'll have to think about that overnight."
"I know it's kind of chilldish, but I always find it fun playing in the playground.'' Seth said. i was surprised. I never thought of him as the playground type. "It's not childish, I do too. let's go.' And we went around back, to the playground. "What do you want to do first?" i asked.
'i don't care." Seth said.
"Let's swing." i said. SO we went on one of the swing sets and swung a bit and talked some. Then when we were done swinging we climbed the monkey bars and talked there. Then we slid.. And went on the teter totters. We chased each other around the playground until my phone alarm went off. "Guess I gotta go.' I said. Seth walked me home and then said,
"I hope we can do this gaain sometime."
"I think my schedule would allow that." i said, and we both laughed.
"See you tomorrow." He said.
"Bye." We both said at the same time. I went inside and mom asked me if I had thought about pressing charges. I told her I still didn't know but when I found out she'd be one of the first people to know. 'okay." she said and then she asked me if I wanted to go to school because the teachers said it was oaky if I took a couple days off, but I said that I wanted to go to school.
"Are you sure?" My mom asked.
"Yes." I said. I refused to stay hidden in my room. I wasn't a coward.
Mom told me that AA called so I got the phone and called her back. SHe said that she called to see how I was holding up. I told her about the rape kit and thinking about pressing charges. I told her about my date with Seth and telling my parnets what had ahppened. I told her that the teachers had said that I didn't have to go to school for a few days.
"Wow, lucky you about Seth. Are you going to take up the offer about school? Are you going to press charges?"
"Yeh, I'm glad I have a new friend to help suport me. I'm coming to school tomorrow. Even though Bryant will probably make it hell. Well, maybe I'll get to see the teachers give him some hell. I'm not sure if I'm going to press charges or not."
"I'm sure you'll be fine at school. Oh, I'd better go, my mom's boyfriend is calling. I'll try to call you back later, but if I don't get to, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye." I said.
I took a shower and went to bed early, because I didn't feel like doing anything else. i had really bad nightmares and when mom woke me up in the morning I jumped about a mile.
"Still wanna go to school?" She asked.
"Yes." I said.
"How are you feeling?" She asked.
"Okay I guess." I replied. I got up and got ready for school. I walked to Nicoles and then me and nicole walked to the bus stop. We were ther talking when Seth came up to the stop.
"What are you doing here" Anthony asked.
"Hi Seth." I said. Nicole and ANthony both gave me and Seth funny looks.
"Hi Kendra." Seth said. "How are you feeling" He asked, looking concerned.
"I'm okay." I said.
"I'm actually kind of surprized you decided to come to school at all after all that you've been through." he said.
"Well, the teachers offered to let me stay at home but I decided that avoiding the problem isn't going to make it go away."
"I'm glad you decided to come." Seth said.
Both Nicole and Anthony said "okay, Am I missing something here?" At the same time. Seth and I laughed, but then we had to get back on a serious note.
"What are you going to tell him for an answer to his question?" Seth asked.
"I'm going to say no." I said.
"Okay, I'm here to keep you safe." He said.
"Safe? Safe from what?" Nicole asked.
"I take it you haven't told her."
"No. I haven't gotten around to it yet."
"Told me what?" Nicole asked.
"I'll explain later." I said.
"Okay."
The bus came and Seth and I got a seat together again which caused Anthony to give us even more quizzical glances, no doubt he was wondering why a guy like Seth was hanging around a girl like me. I wondered the same thing. Must be out of pity..lovely.
"You nervous?" Seth asked.
"A bit." I admitted.
"Don't worry, You'll be fine. I'm sure he won't harm you while I'm around."
"Well you won't be in my history class with me." I said nervously.
"I'm sure Mrs. Dillon will keep a close eye on him." Seth reassured me.
The bus arrived at the school in no time. It only felt like seconds to me. THe next thing I knew I was in the cafeteria with Seth beside me. AA came up to me first thing when I walked in and asked me how I was feeling.
"Afraid." I said truthfully. One of Seth's friends came up to him and asked if he could have a word with him.
"I'll be right back, okay?" Seth said.
"Okay." I said. He walked away with his friend.
Bryant immediately noticed. He walked over to me, handed me a note and whispered a threat in my ear. He also tried (and failed) to kiss me. Then Seth got done talking to his friend so Bryant walked away quickly. Before Seth could return, I opened the note and quickly read it. I told AA what had been whispered in my ear, and let her read the note. Seth returned.
"Sorry about that." He said.
"Do you want to go outside?" AA asked, poitnting out Bryant who wouldn't stop staring at me, while whispering to his friends, who were also staring at me. Once outside, AA handed the note back to me.
"What's that?" Seth asked.
"Nothing." I said quickly, trying to put it away, out of sight. He grabbed it and read it. He started towards teh door angrily but I stopped him.
"Why won't you let me hurt him?" Seth asked.
"Because I don't want you to get hurt or get in trouble. He might still have a knife Seth. You need to be more careful."I said.
"You don't have to worry about me." Seth said.
"I may not have to, but I do anyways." I said. Just then Bryant walked out and said: "Hate to interrupt this touching moment but you owe me an answer, Kendra."
"Uh...how about I answer your question 7th block?" I asked.
"how about not." He said. Seth started towards him. I grabbed his arm and helpd him backc.
"In seventh block no one will be there to protect you." He pointed out. He then walked off..
"Kendra, Maybe you should call home." AA suggested.
"No. I can handle this." I said stubbornly.
The bell rang and we went to homeroom. It was one of the mornings that we went to the gym so Seth and I talked when we were in there. We shot hoops just for the fun of it. All the while, Shalae kept coming over, trying to grab Seth's attention, but she failed epically at i, a cause for laughter.
"What is so special about her?" Shalae asked Seth in her usual bitchy tone.
"She is beautiful, smart, funny, amazing...I could go on." Shalae walked away angrily. AA looked at Seth and said "Did you just give Kendra several compliments or am I hearing things?"
"I did. All of them are true. I meant every single word." Seth said, looking in my eyes. I blushed slightly.
The bell rang and Seth walked me to my first class. In English class my teacher pulled me out and asked how I was doing, of course. I told her I weas doing okay. When class was over Seth was in the hall waiting to walk me to my next class. I yet again got pulled out of my class, this time Science. I was wondering if this was going to happen in all of my classes. I certainly hoped not, it would look very suspicious.
Seth and I walked to Base class together. He could tell I was nervous because it was the first class I had with Bryant. When I went to base class I noticed Mrs. Numm was looking at Bryant kind of funy. Hopefully Bryant wouldn't notice. Seth and I sat down in our seats hich were at the same table as Bryant's, unfortunately. Bryant oepned his mouth, about ready to say something when Seth kicked him. "Ouch." he complained. He told Mrs. Nunn, but all she did was make Bryant move to the back. "She obviously knows." I whispered.
"Seth, you may take Bryant's spot if you wish." Mrs. Nunn told him. So Seth moved beside me. Every now and then we tried to pay attention, but we spent most of the class emmersed in deep conversation. Mrs. Nunn didn't seem to mind. When base class was over Seth walked me to health. I avoiding mentioning that I had that class with Bryant. I didn't want Seth to worry. Mr. Johnson knew the story so he gave me a website for a support group in case I needed to talk to someone. I sat in my seat, which was fairly close to Bryant's. Bryant passed a note to me. The note said "No Seth to protect you in here."
I wrote: "Nope, but you're not going to get away with anything when the teacher is around."
"My point exactly." He wrote. Just then the phone rang. I noticed that Bryant had his cellphone out and to his ear. He said on the phone that Mrs. Kirsten needed to see Mr. Johnson in room 316. Unfortunately, that room was the fartherest away from where we were. Bryant said that they'd send someone over to watch the students. Bryant hung up the phone and put it away as Mr. Johnson walked out the door. There was nothing I could do but watch all hope pass away. When Bryant knew that Mr. Johnson was far enough away, he grabbed me by the arm tightly and started twisting it.
"Let me go." I said,l my voice full of strength and calmness.
"Now why would I do that?" Bryant asked.
Seth walked in and said from behind Bryant's back: "Because if you don't then I'm going to kick your ass." While Bryant was distracted, I pulled my arm out of his grip and walked over to seth.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked.
"I saw Mr. Johnson leaving the class and I decided to make sure eerything was okay." He said. "I'm glad I decided to come. Who knows what would have happened to you." I knew exactly what would have happened, but I didn't say it.
