Reiza snapped open her eyes and rolled off her soft bed only to land with a thump on the floor far below. She let out a groan as she blinked the sleep from her eyes and glanced up at her top bunk bed. The fall was going to leave a bruise on her knees.
'Damn, that's got to hurt in the morning,' She muttered looking at the alarm clock that had been the cause of her waking up. Alarm clock? Why is my alarm clock on?
Her eyes widened as she remembered, monday. Another day in that hell hole referred to as a school, where everyone was supposed to learn and make friends. In reality it was just an excuse for other people to bully everyone and spread rumors that couldn't possibly be true. Making everyone's life even worse than it already was.
Reiza sighed and shrugged her shoulders before collecting her uniform and jumper. She slowly made her way out of her bedroom and dragged her feet as she headed to the shower. Once she was inside the cream colored room she slid to the tiled floor and sat drowsing off for a moment before forcing herself to undress and turn on the water. When the shower it was leaking steam everywhere she went inside yanking the curtain shut behind her and sat down letting the hot water run down her shoulders, across her back. It stung as the liquid hit her legs becoming redder as it collected the blood from her most recent cuts.
Yes, that was her secret. One she had been hiding for a time, even from her own parents. She couldn't stand to ruin their lives and the only reason she didn't see anyone was because she had no one she really trusted. Not anymore, so she endured in silence taking one breath at a time. She closed her eyes and let her pain wash away.
