The late bell goes, the sound of laughter and excited children fill the
corridors. Dusty sits there with her head in her hands wondering want to
do with herself. She can feel people staring at her, it felt awkward
but she like the attention. It was one thing she craved, she was always
the one that had to have someones attention but today she didn't like it
so much. Then she felt a cold presence behind her, she turned around as
a large hand touched her shoulder. "Dusty, come with me" the sound of
shock waved through her form room. Mr Stanley was a tall, 50 year old
man with a miserable looking face. She got to the door of his office and
stopped, her feet froze. " Go in, I don't bite" he said pointing to the
door. She would have normally laughed but in the circumstance she
didn't find it very funny. 'What happened last night?' the terrifying
thought kept washing around in her head. Mr Stanley asked the same
question, " Dusty? Are you okay?" she looked up and saw the concern on
his face. She shrugged. The words were right on the tip of her tongue.
If only she could tell, but that's the thing she got in trouble in the
first place. " if something was wrong, you would tell some one ,
wouldn't you?" Mr Stanley leaned forward, she looked to the door and
shrugged. Chants were heard on the bus " Its Friday! Friday! Gotta get
down on Friday!!!" Dusty rolled her eyes and pulled her hood up to cover
the bruised emotions coming from her face. She finally got home. it was
a cold Friday night and unlike most 15 year old girls, she was sitting
indoors. She got to the front door and her heart dropped , the bolt on
the door has been broken. The door was wide open and windows were
smashed. Dusty dropped her bag and coat at the front door and ran up
stairs. Duvets ripped and a message was written on her wall in red "This
is not over dusty!". She fell to the floor. were could she go? Once
again, crouched on the floor, bruised and terrified. She stood up, wiped
the tears off her face and got her purple rucksack and filled it with
clothes. She couldn't stay there anymore, just like her mother, she
would have to leave- for good.
