Chapter 154

• Casey pulled me up from the floor. I dusted the specks of dirt off my jean. I stared into space for a second trying to process all that just happened. Did Alexia just hit me because of Mark? Did she just say all of that to me in just a twinkle of an eye? I tucked my hair behind my hair and hold unto my bag tightly. I looked up at Casey and she gasped.
• "Hey, you are crying. What"s wrong? Does it hurt?" She asked. It was at this point I knew my cheek was wet with tears. It was at this point I just realized what had happened. Everything happened in a flash. Snap out of it, Donna. You deserve it.
• You deserve what she did to you. Maybe if I hadn't come to this school all of this wouldn't have happened. Maybe if Mark hadn't looked at me, he would have looked at her instead. I hold in the tears that were threatening to fall on my wretched cheek. But I tried my best. I tried to make the two of them work but they didn't. Mark doesn't seem to look at Alexia that way.
