• The day started off great when I got up in the morning to go to school. I got dressed , ate cereal and left to school. An everyday thing, right? Wrong, it started out that way until I got out of school. I went into this hell hole that they called school and attended my classes watching the teachers teach their boring lessons. I looked to the left of the room at my friend Sammy and she had her head on her hand trying to stay awake during this annoyingly boring lecture. Then I looked out the window and saw this man staring up at me from a far. I thought to myself was that the guy I saw the other day at the restaurant I went to with my friends? Nah, it couldn’t be. So I turned my head towards the front and sat through the boring lecture.

    The bell rang and it was time for lunch, so I walked out the classroom and walked through the hall passed all the jocks, the annoying cheerleaders, the scene kids and all the wannabe gangsters. The lunch was the same old stuff and taste like crap. I looked out at the student parking lot and could have sworn seeing that man again. I shifted in the seat I was sitting in and looked down at the table. I felt as if I were being stalked so I looked up again. That man was still standing there watching me. Waiting for me to get out I knew it. Lunch is over and class began. I went through the rest of my classes looking for the man. He wasn't anywhere to be found.

    So I think to myself maybe he was looking for his cousin or something and got tired of waiting for him or her. Yeah that’s it, I thought to myself laughing. So last hour was up and just before the bell rang I looked out the window once more to make sure I wasn't being followed and no one was there. The bell rang and it was time for us to go home. I walked out the gate of the school yard and looked for anything out of the ordinary. Nope nothing there same as always. Thank god. The sky was blue, the leaves fell from the top of the tree and it was a normal autumn day. So I start home walking the same way as always. Nothing felt weird but all I could think of was about that guy there at the school? He seemed kind of suspicious like he was up to no good.

    I was a couple blocks away from the school not a student or an adult around. I felt as if the world was abandoned. On my way home I saw him. He was there in front of me walking slowly. so I try to walk past as fast as I can to see if he will follow me home but he didn't instead he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him then dragged me to this alley way. I was thinking to myself where is everyone why can’t they see me; why can’t they see him; why don't they do something about this. I kicked and try to break myself free but he put his hand over my mouth and held me tight. I tried to get free but he was to strong. When he finally got me deep into the alley where nobody can see me for sure he dragged into this old shack on this empty lot. When we get closer to this doorway I saw this other man standing there.

    The first man threw me to the second man to hold me down while he began to remove my clothing. I was so afraid I grew so stiff that I couldn't even move. I felt helpless and felt that the world stopped spinning and all life was gone. All that was there was that endless moment of torture. I cried as he stripped me of my pride and took away my innocence. As his snaky hands went up and down my body I was thinking, oh god why couldn't he have just killed me right then and there, that would have been better than this. Before it was over I felt weak and watched as everything around me turn to darkness. There was only his face that I saw. The long black hair and dark skin I finally lost focus of this never ending hell.

    Hours have passed and I woke up looking around at this dark room. It smelled like rotten old beer and vomit. I was trying to figure out what had happened nobody was there and I was all alone in this shack thinking what the heck happened, but then lost feeling of my body and soul when I thought of my day after school. I got up abruptly and ran to the end of the alleyway down the street and up the road screaming and looking for some sort of life. I ran and ran until I got home. You guys looked at me and asked me where the hell was I all night I had to I lie and told you I was at my friends Sammy’s house doing some studying for the test tomorrow, cause I couldn't tell you the awful truth. You would have been devastated. So I kept quite about it. Days past and I can't sleep I can't eat and I can't think.

    All I seem to do is remember that day. All I could think of is why did they attack me? Why do they have to do this to people? What do they think they’d accomplish doing so to another human? All I know is that I feel like nothing but another object on this puny earth that nobody gives a crap about. Every bit of my existence was all just a big fat lie. That raping I had to endure was enough; that’s it; its over I don’t want to have to live with this dirty secret anymore! Its time for me to go. No more will I feel used for anyone’s enjoyment. I will end this and if you got this then I'm already dead. Just remember I loved my family very much but I can't put up with this pain anymore!! Bye mom and dad I love you.

    Love always and forever,
