Chapter 19 - Disappointed.
Adeline couldn't but remember the last time she cried like this after the death of her mother. She had never been treated like this, even in her old school where the people who disliked her but were still civil. When they made jokes concerning Adeline, people laugh and sighed and so did she. There was no bad blood. This was something totally new for her, she was bullied. Now she knew why her father focused on her being bullied or not. The embarrassment had literally had her wanting to kill herself.
Her hands had covered her face as she cried. She was breathing heavily and her nose was running. She felt insulted and even though she didn't have an ego, today her ego was hurt, her dignity felt crushed and she felt her worth decline. Her eyes went wide when the door to the washroom open. It wasn't the fact that the door opened but the voice that came through the door was of a male voice. She was in a boy's washroom. ??
That was the reason the seat was not down! Oh my god, I didn't even look where I was going. Shit, I'll be even more humiliated.
She wanted to groan out loud but she knew she would attract attention. The door had opened she was sure of it but no one had stepped inside. Did they know that she was inside? If they did, then that was probably just glorified the whole event.
The door opened again and now she heard footsteps come in. This was the most embarrassing event of her whole life.
"Addy?" A soft voice called her name.
She gasped in return, it was Ashlynn.
She quickly opened the door and stood in front of her. Ashlynn was shocked to the core. No one had been treated like that ever! Even the lowest in the ranking were treated with respect but with Adeline, it was a whole new level. She couldn't help but pity the girl in front of her.
"The boys informed me you were inside. Why are you in a boy's washroom though?" She as sweetly as she coalesced her.
"I don't know," She cried.
"Oh, are you okay?" She carefully asked as if talking to a scared child.
"I don't know," she answered again.
"Well then, do you want to leave?" This happened for the first time. No one was ever bullied. Period.
"Yes." Adeline changed her answer.
"Thank god, you know something." She is playfully exasperated.
Adele gave out a tiny smile with a wobbling lip and followed her outside. The halls were empty that meant that the classes had started. Great, that meant she missed a class and now would preferably miss the whole day of school. Her father would be called and she knew better than to lie to him. She grabbed her bag pack from the cafeteria even the woman looked at her with pity. Adele was shocked to see Ashlynn with a car; she thought she would have walked like most of the students. The parking lot was filled with a few cars which belonged to the teachers as most of the students preferred walking.
Adeline was grateful when Ashlynn pulled out a plastic bag for Adeline to sit in, so she couldn't dirty the seat, Ashlynn read her mind there. At least now she won't have to worry about that too. Ashlynn drove them to her house where Adele thanked her and climbed out of the car and walked into the house. She dropped her bag on the sofa and ran upstairs into her room. She took all of her clothes off and walked into the shower, turning it on she dropped to her knees and cried to her heart's content.
She didn't know how long she had stayed there. Walking downstairs, she jumped in surprise as she saw her father there. Jason had switched on the TV yet he wasn't paying any attention to it. His focus was on Adeline. She sat next to him and then lay down, keeping her head on his lap.
"I got a call today Adele," he spoke calmly. "That you bunked school. I honestly had never expected that from you." When he finished, Adeline could hear the disappointment he felt.
