Amanda followed Jasmine towards the courtyard. They opened the doors and looked around. So many kids were sitting on tables, on their phones, eating food, talking loud. Amanda stayed close behind Jasmine as Jasmine walked over to her old friends. "Jasmine!! Hey girl what's up? So glad you were able to come to this middle school. What would we do without you?" Jasmine smiled and sat down with her friends. "Guys y'all remember my sister Amanda?" Jasmine's friends looked over at Amanda and smiled awkwardly and waved awkwardly as well. "Oh..uh hey Amanda." Jasmine didn't noticed how awkward they were around her sister but Amanda 100% noticed it. Amanda sat down next to her sister and pulled out her phone. She didn't communicate with any of them, she was too awkward, but the only person she will communicate with is her best friend. Sadly her best friend isn't here. She didn't come on the first day because she was still on vacation but she will be there tomorrow. Though it hurt Amanda to not have her best friend there, she couldn't rely on her best friend at the moment and it looked like she couldn't rely on her sister either.
For what seemed like hours the bell finally rang. Jasmine got up and walked with her friends, of course, taking Amanda's hand into hers and walking with Amanda again close behind her. They went to their lockers and put their backpacks away and grabbed the things they need for their first three classes. Jasmine waved off to her friends as her and Amanda walked to their first period. "I love my friends so much!" Jasmine smiled and walked. Amanda said nothing as they walked into their first period class and sat down. The first was English, something Amanda wasn't too fond of. Jasmine pulled out her phone before class started. Some girls came over to her and started talking to her. Amanda looked away and pulled out her sketch and continued a drawing she was working on from the day before. Some cute boys walked into the classroom and winked at Jasmine. She giggled and went back to talking to the girls. Handing out numbers, Snapchats, and Instagrams, Jasmine shook Amanda and smiled. "Girls, this is my sister Amanda." The "popular" girls looked at Amanda with disgust but faked a smile. "Hi Amanda." They continued talking to Jasmine. Amanda saw it. She saw it all. Those smiles...they were fake. She saw the disgust in their eyes. She felt their hatred towards her. She did nothing wrong to them. She didn't even know them, yet they didn't like her one bit. Amanda sighed and continued drawing. The bell rang as the teacher walked in. "Alrighty good morning class. My name is Mrs.Johnson. I will be your English teacher throughout your 6th grade year. I hope we can all get along in here and I hope this will be a good year with a good class." Everyone smiled and nodded. "Now then, there isn't any work for you all to do but, I want everyone to make sure they have a composition book, no.2 pencils, highlighters, and sticky notes." Everyone started looking through their binders. Amanda on the other hand, wasn't. She was too busy drawing. As the kids were looking through their stuff to see if they have everything for this class, Mrs.Johnson called roll. Jasmine looked over at Amanda and saw that she was drawing. "Amanda, you should look for your composition book." Amanda tapped the top of her binder. Jasmine looked and saw that Amanda was already ready to go. Jasmine smiled. "So fast sis." "Jasmine Jackson?" Jasmine looked up and smiled. "Here!" "Amanda Jackson?" Amanda didn't respond. "Amanda Jackson?" Jasmine looked at Amanda. "My sister is here, sorry. She's very focused on her drawing at the moment." Mrs.Johnson stood up. "Thank you for letting me know Jasmine. I'm done with roll but I can wait till your sister is done." With that, the classroom was silent. All eyes were on Amanda...something she hated. Amanda noticed the classroom was quiet....too quiet. She looked up and saw all eyes on here and Mrs.Johnson with her hands on her hips. "Are you finished drawing?" Amanda tensed and nodded. "Y-Yes ma'am. I-I'm sorry." She sighed. "It's alright." The other students snickered as Mrs.Johnson continued explaining to the kids what will be happening in class.
First period ended as Jasmine walked out with her new friends and met up with old friends. Amanda walked out as well and saw Jasmine surrounded by girls. She sighed and walked to go find her next class, not waiting for Jasmine now. She mumbled to herself. "Looks like my sister found a group of friends to hangout with. I guess she doesn't need me around. Besides I look like a stupid dog following around their owner like no remorse." Amanda sighed and walked into her next class. This class was math, a class she was very good at and can easily get an A in. She sat down at an empty desk at the back of the classroom. Other kids started piling in. Some of the girls from her english class walked in. She knew Jasmine didn't have this class...she knew would be alone in this classroom with no friends. At that point she was alright with it because her best friend would be here tomorrow. She pulled out her sketch book and continued her drawing.
It was like this the entire day. Amanda would walk into class, sit at the back, and draw until class started. When the roll was being called she wouldn't answer the kids would snicker and laugh at her. At lunch time, kids would mess with her and bully her since Jasmine wouldn't sit her. Jasmine would be with her new friends. It was the last period and Amanda asked to use the bathroom. She grabbed the pass and left to go to the bathroom. On her way there, she felt like she was being followed. She thought nothing of it first and continued into the bathroom, speed walking their. She got in and went into a stall and closed it, locking it. She sat on the toilet and put her legs up on the seat. She heard the door open as she covered her mouth.
"Ugh I'm so surprised that Jasmine Jackson is related to that weirdo." "Girl, I thought she was joking like look at Jasmine she's fucking beautiful, she's like a fucking goddess. And then there's her sister. She's ugly and a loner." The girls were laughing. Amanda was able to record the entire thing without them noticing. Amanda felt hurt she didn't know what to think....though they weren't wrong. Amanda always thought she was ugly. Everyone always called her that so she assumed they were right. Their laughter died down as they wrote on the walls nasty and negative things about Amanda and left. Amanda left the stall and saw what they put. 'Amanda Jackson is a freak!' 'Amanda Jackson has no friends!' 'Amanda Jackson is a fucking loner and has no life!' Amanda took a picker of it and looked down. She cried softly and wiped her face and walked out. She walked back to class and put her head down.
At this point, Amanda felt like it was her against the school. She was weak and couldn't defend herself. She knew she had to get strong but she didn't know how. She knew she had to do it alone but she didn't know how to. That was just her luck.
