How could she say that? It was the only thought running through Rainbow's mind as she hurried down one of the hallways, eyes burning as she blinked back tears.
She eventually made it to a hiding place, her previous one had been blocked off so she'd had to resort to finding another. There was an area in one of the hallways where it split off into two hallways, one down to languages and the other to a boarded up door leading into the staff room. It had been lined with lockers but there was never anyone who came down there. It was risky but she had no choice.
Rainbow curled herself up into a small ball, her knees brought up to her chest with her arms wrapped around them. She lay her forehead on the tops of her knees and groaned. It seemed like no one was ever interested in what she said. Then the bell rang and an announcement was read out.
{Could Rainbow Aimes please report to the nurse's office immediately}
Rainbow gasped and swore under her breath. It was a Saturday. She had a weekly meeting with the school nurse every Saturday, and now she was late. The nurse was going to kill her. She thought as she stood up, she might as well go since it was skipping class anyway, but that meant she had to talk to the nurse. She always had such high expectations for Rainbow which somehow she always seemed to fail.
