I'm Scared, mtz.reader.1029 [phonics reader txt] 📗

I was walking home from training when I heard a motorcycle behind me. I didn’t know anybody who had a motorcycle so I looked behind me and believe it or not it was a guy about my age. I’ve never seen him before. He had black hair with bangs that cover his eyes. He looked well built and strong.
I turned back around and kept on walking. After a few minutes I didn’t hear the motorcycle so I just assumed that he must’ve gone down a side road.
It was about 9 o’ clock at night so it was dark out. My parents complain that I shouldn’t be walking in the dark but I reassured them when I told them I’ll keep weapons on me ready plus I’m training to fight so I will just beat the crap out anyone who messes with me.
I decided to walk down an alley which seems dumb I know but I had a good feeling about it. I was about halfway through when I felt someone watching me. I looked behind me to find nobody there. When I reached the end of the alley someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I was about to let out a scream but they covered my mouth.
There was about a group of guys about 20 years old. They dragged me to secret door behind a dumpster. They pushed me inside. I fell on the floor. I looked up to see that I was in a room that only has one window. There was a sofa, a bed, and a little side table.
The guys surrounded me.
“Please leave me alone” I pleaded.
“Let me have her. I promise not to use her to much you guys can have your turn after a few minutes” a guy about 18 said. The others left leaving me alone with him.
He came close to me. I started to back away. When I hit the wall I got scared. He came down so his mouth was only millimeters away from me.
“Please” I pleaded.
“Don’t worry imma hammer you like a jackhammer”
He planted a rough kiss on my lips. I slapped him. He back away only a little but it gave an open window. I went between his legs, got up, and started running towards the door with everything I had. He grabbed my hair and yanked it back. I gave a small yelp and fell back. Fortunately I landed on the bed. Unfortunately he pinned me down as soon as I landed.
He didn’t waste his time. He started kissing me forcefully. I struggled but he was too strong for me.
“Ah this is in the way lets take this off”
He ripped open my shirt exposing my sports bra. He started to make his way to my breasts when I’ve had enough.
“You shouldn’t have done that” I said angrily then kneed him in the groin. He backed off. I quickly tackled him to the ground and started punching the hell out of him. When I started to hear noise behind the door where the other guys left I quickly went to the secret door and ran out. I grabbed my bag that was left in the alley and ran for my life. I heard feet pounding the pavement behind me. I ran faster. It was a good thing I had on a sports bra or else it would’ve looked like I was about to be raped.
I was only three blocks away when they guys behind me started to catch up. I ran faster but that was a mistake because I twisted my ankle when I stepped in a little hole in the pavement. I fell but soon got up and started fast walking. I didn’t care how much it hurt my ankle I just needed to get away. That’s when I heard the motorcycle again.
I paid it no attention because the guys were about to catch me. Surprisingly the motorcycle stopped next to me as I fell cause my ankle couldn’t handle it anymore. The guy on the motorcycle quickly picked me up and put me on the back. He put a helmet on my head and got on. He quickly sped away just as the group of guys finally reached me.
I told him my address and in no time we were at my house. He helped me off and helped me to the front door. He was taller than me so I had to put my arm around his waist cause his shoulders were past my head and it would look weird if I tried to reach my arm all the way up there. He rang the doorbell and my mom immediately answered.
“Oh my gosh Tory we’ve been worried sick!!!!!”
“Can you show me where the couch is?” the guy asked.
“Oh yes yes, of course” my mom led us to the couch where I let go and plopped on.
“What happened to you?” my mom asked.
“I twisted my ankle while running away from some guys chasing me”
“Why were the guys chasing you?” the guy asked.
“I may have accidentally beat the hell out of one of their friends”
“Where’s your shirt?” my mom asked.
“I took it off when I saw how bloody it was” I was good at lying so they believed me. I didn’t tell them I was almost raped because I new my mom would freak out and call the police.
“Well I better get going” the guy said then left without another word.
After he left my mom put an ankle brace to keep my ankle from moving and make it sturdy. Then I put some ice on it cause it was starting to swell up. My mom helped me clean up some scrapes I got when I tripped the second time. When I was all done I had to stay downstairs cause my mom didn’t want me to risk hurting my ankle some more.
I ate some cereal then went to sleep since I have school tomorrow.
I woke up to the smell of breakfast. I carefully made my way to the kitchen where my mom was making bacon, toast, and eggs. I ate some toast and bacon then I went upstairs to change for school. I put on black cargo pants, purple shirt with a black flower on it, and my black converse. My hair was black with purple highlights so it matched my outfit perfectly.
I went downstairs to see my brother waiting for me. My bro’s name is Josh and he goes to a different school but it doesn’t start till 9 and my starts at 8:30 and it’s 8.
“Ready to go” he said.
“Just let me get my bag” I went to the closet and got my black bag then made my way to Josh’s car. You could say my brother is a speed driver so as soon as we were on the road he cranked it up to 80 mph and sped to school.
All the girls at my school have a crush on my brother so when they saw his car they all watched. My bro parked in the closest parking lot to the school’s front doors.
“Thanks Josh” I said.
“I’m picking you up after I get out of school so an hour after you. Try to keep yourself busy by then”
“Sure whatever” I reached for the door handle but Josh grabbed my hand.
“Tory don’t go walkin you don’t know if those guy will be looking out for you. They can’t do anything on school property so stay on it or at least by the school”
“I promise”
He let go and I went out. People were stunned to see me get out of my brother’s car since we hate each other.
I’m the girl who nobody wants to be friends with and I don’t really care cause I have a lot of friend outside of school. I couldn’t put a lot of pressure on my ankle so when I walked I quickly switched to the other foot. People watched as I limped to the front door and went in. I walked to first period even though it was really early.
The teacher was there so I went in and took a seat in the front. I got a chair and put it close so I could rest my foot on it. My mom said let it rest whenever I have the chance.
“What happened to you?” the teacher asked.
“Twisted my ankle”
“How?”
“I was running and twisted it” I didn’t want anybody to know what really happened but I knew that wouldn’t happen but as long as I try maybe it won’t leak out. I took out my notebook and started working on a drawing. It was a drawing of the face of the guy who tried to rape me. I remembered him as if he was in front of me. When I got done I drew the group of guys as if they were in front of me also. You could say I’m a good artist.
By the time class started I was putting away my notebook and taking out my math notes. Everyone watched me. One person had the guts to actually speak to me.
“Hey what happened to your foot?” she asked. I recognized her. Her name is Sabrina.
“Twisted my ankle”
“How?”
“I was running” I said and looked at my notes. When she took the hint that I didn’t want to speak more on the matter she took her seat. When class was about to begin I heard a knock on the door. I didn’t want to look up so I kept reading my math notes.
“Hello and who are you?” the teacher asked.
“I’m new here. My name is Shane”
I immediately recognized the voice as the guy who helped me yesterday. I looked up and I was surprised to see that it was the same guy. I looked around the room and noticed every girl watching him with shocked faces. I wanted to laugh so badly but knew I shouldn’t so I just quietly chuckled.
“What’s so funny Tory?” the teacher asked. I shut up immediately.
“Nothing” I said.
“Then will you keep your mouth shut I’m trying to talk to Shane” I glared at the teacher. Shane caught my eyes. He shook his head and smiled. I smiled and began studying my notes again.
“Well Shane you can sit next to Tory since that’s the only seat available today because some of the desk got tooken out because they needed them for some testing happening”
Shane took a seat next to me.
While the teacher had his back to us everyone started talking.
“So does anyone know?” Shane asked me.
I shook my head.
“What really happened?” Shane asked.
I got tears in my eyes cause I was still scared to talk about much less it made me sad to remember.
“I can’t say” I said quietly said while wiping a tear that slid down my cheek. Shane saw this and turned back to the front just as the teacher turned around himself. I quickly hid my tears.
“Tory can you tell me what the answer…..”
“2” I said not letting him finish. He turned around and started solving the problem.
“Right as usual and fast this time”
Everyone looked at me shocked.
“How did you do that?” everyone asked.
I ignored them since I didn’t want to talk to anyone yet.
“Tory what is the answer to the next problem?”
I looked up and looked at the word problem. I quickly did the math in
