Chapter Twenty-Nine

So, not only do I have to worry about being bullied in person, I now have to be worried about people talking crap about me on Instagram, Facebook, tik tok, and every other social media outlet. Sigh…-Ronnie

Ronnie

I was right to fear going to school the next day. Everyone stares at me like I have two heads. Obviously, everyone has heard about what happened with Brad.

Sam meets me at my locker before homeroom. I texted her yesterday and talked to her for a little while before I fell asleep last night. We both knew today would be rough, but I don’t think I was quite as ready as I thought I would be for the sniggers and the stares.

“How’s it goin’ girl? You making it okay this mornin’?” She smacks her gum. Her grey eyes are filled with sympathy and caring.

“I’m okay, I guess. I feel very conspicuous.” I struggle with the dial on my locker and snatch it open. My lit book almost falls out on my foot before I grab it. I sigh deeply.

“I’ve tried my best to get a handle on the gossip. Some people were sayin’ crazy things. Social media is rampant, but I already told you not to look on there.” She pops her gum and looks around her. I see her give some guy the middle finger that’s openly staring, and I can’t help but chuckle. My best friend has no filter.

I balance my books on my hip and lock my locker again. I turn around to look at her. Her black hair is streaked with blue and purple today and her knee-high socks are tie dye. This girl always manages to break the school dress code. I put the arm that’s not holding my books through hers, and she pats my hand. “Do I even want to know what some of the rumors are? Likin’ all the colors today, by the way.”

She grins and pops her gum again. “I know. It drove my mom crazy this morning.” She sighs. “I really don’t want to tell you, but I think you should know some of it. Everyone is saying that you were sleepin’ with Brad for awhile and that he dumped you. They’re sayin’ that’s why you pressed charges against him.”

I stop in the middle of the hall and kids rush by me. One of them hits me with their arm and my books fall to the floor. I stoop down to grab them and Sam leans down with me. “Wh…what? They think I was sleeping with Brad?”

Sam puts a hand on mine and stops me as I’m picking up my calculus book. She obviously sees the tears gathering in my eyes. “Now listen to me, Ronnie girl. You’re going to hold your head up high today because you know you’re in the right. You’re not going to give a shit what these assholes think and you’re going to look them in the eye. You’re going to do that because you have a kickass best friend who will fuck them up if they fuck with her friend.
