Chapter 32: Chapter Thirty Two.

I glance around nervously, dodging out of the way of starved teenagers.

"Get out of my way mute!" someone yells, shoving me backwards. I blink several times, holding out my arms to steady myself. A hand immediately circles around the top of my arm, steadying me.

"Watch it idiot!"

I turn my head, my eyes wide in surprise as they meet Tia's blue ones. She's shooting a deathly glare at someone in the crowd and it takes me a moment or two to snap out of my shock. Did she just come to my rescue?

"T-thanks" I mutter, standing firm on both feet. I dust myself off, unsure of what I'm actually dusting off.

"Urgh, I hate this school. Are you okay?" She asks me, taking a step back. I nod weakly, the taunts and teasing now becoming normal to me. Since Beatrice has decided I'm her latest victim, I'm bullied daily.
