when I was 15 I've learned that the world is very cruel.

-

"b-belle...um..i-i uh.."

"what do you want?"

"I t-think you're the p-prettiest g-girl I've e-ever seen.."

I started blushing

"t-thank you t-tom.."

"meet m-me behind the s-school building after school, but come alone!! u-uh i-i mean so we c-can t-talk p-privetally"

I hesitated but eventually agreed.

"s-sure"

-

and just like that, I've harmed myself because of my stupid decision. I should've known that..

people are indeed selfish.

-

-after school-

"WAA WAA CRY BABY!!"

"don't you get it? the more you cry the more gold we get!"

he tricked me.

they just wanted my golden tears, I'm good for nothing.

"HEY THE GOLD SHE CRIED ISN'T ENOUGH! MAKE HER FEEL MORE PAIN!!" tom shouted angrily.

I was surrounded by a group of 7 boys and 4 girls, they all started kicking me and beating me till I had bruises everywhere.

"CRY! FREAK! YOU'RE PRETTY FOR NOTHING! CRY USELESS BITCH!"

"stop...STOP! AHH STOP! AHH IT HURTS STOP! leave me alone.."

I screamed crying.

they eventually stopped after an hour.

"COLLECT THE GOLD!!"

"HEY, THATS UNFAIR YOU GOT ALOT"

"OMG, THAT WAS AMAZING! THE GOLD IS ALOT!"

"OMG WE COULD GET RICH IF WE BEAT HER UP EVERYDAY! HAHA!"

"IKR MAN THAT WAS FUN"

I was shaking.

I couldn't breath.

why's all that happening to me?

what did I do to deserve ALL THIS pain?

I wish I was never born..

I wish I wasn't that way..

someone, anyone please help me survive in this selfish world.

-

-the next day-

so I decided to go and tell my teacher about what happened, maybe she'd somehow help me, and punish them.

I slowly walked to her office and proceeded to open the door.

"teacher.."

I called quietly but she didn't hear me since she was on a phone call with someone.

"what?.. there was a fight yesterday? tom and his squad were beating up belle?? OMG THAT'S HORRIBLE, DONT WORRY I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS- wait what?? what did you just say?? the girl Cries gold?? are you sure? well then in this condition I'll let them beat her up for a bit longer, NO DONT WORRY!! I'LL STOP THEM BUT NOT NOW, I MEAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY WE COULD GET OUT OF THIS! I'll just be like good cop and bad cop, I'm the good cop but arrives a little late, what do you mean I'm so selfish?? oh don't worry I'll get you gold too! haha I'm not that bad"

I slowly backed away, silently crying.

-

they're all the same

my teachers..

my classmates..

I gave up on hope..

"b-but ian t-they're badly hurt!"

I heard a crying voice from behind me.

"shut up, nol they deserved it! didn't you hear about what happened yesterday? they deserved it for beating that poor girl for her tears!"

"b-but ian you're arm is bleeding too.."

"wait nol.. isnt that her?Hey you! the one with the tears!"

I slowly turned around and

my eyes widened in shock.
