RYN


    As soon as I made my way to the ground floor, some students stood in groups, watching a video on <b>their </b>phone <b>and </b>then they saw me and began to whisper amidst themselves.


    Faces that smiled at me just hours ago now frowned and looked at me suspiciously. novelbin


    I looked away from them, quickening my feet. The sudden tirge to disappear clustered in my thind, taking root and increasing my sense of istion. Soon everyone will hate Ryn especially when they find out what she did to <b>survive </b>


    I thought my feet would take me outside the school premises and away forever but instead it led me to the one ce I’ve called home for years.


    The janitor’s closet.


    I paused, standing outside of it, my hand lingering on the knob. Then I opened it and went inside.


    Closing the door behind me, I noticed very little had changed and like a homesick child, I raced to where I used to curl up and sleep and sat with my knees pulled up.


    Something <b>about </b>this space room, Jexhaled.


    made me feel safe and <b>and </b>for the first time since the incident that ured in the boy’s locker


    Like a moth to a me, I went back to max20499’sment and tapped on thements under it. My heart shattered when I saw strangers whom I barely knew agree and even add some lies to their gossip,


    As if that wasn’t enough, I came across the <b>hashtag </b>#RabidRyn – several times, so I tapped on it. To my terror, I realized the hashtag already had four thousand posts under it.


    Gods! Who are these people?!


    I scrolled on the posts, my heart breaking some more each time <b>saw </b>videos about me andmentaries, all because they wanted to trend. News outlets had even joined in, putting my face in their graphic post.

    What the fuck?!


    I watched in horror as more and more posts <b>had </b>something to say about me. Then I sawa video from Bessie under the username – bessicboo <b>and </b>it had sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty three likes.


    It automatically began to y.


    “Hi guys.” She said, and it seemed she recorded this video in front of the school building during the games. “My name is Bessie and I am a student of Lycantide High. So if there is anyone who is qualified to have something to say about that bitch? It would be me.”


    “Oh gods. Here we go.” I whispered.


    “Honestly, <b>I </b><b>am </b>so d that everyone is seeing Ryn for who she is. I never liked her since day one. Yes, I may have been a little mean to her but that bitch put my boyfriend in aa and got my father fired <b>as </b><b>a </b>Principal.”


    She covered her mouth as if she was about to cry.


    “My Dad just had two years before retirement and she ruined that for him. After that, I got so depressed and I actually thought of killing myself


    She paused for dramatic effect, dabbing at her dry eyes.

    “Only one thing kept me going; and that’s the fact that karma is a bitch and shees for everyone. So this is for you, Ryn!” She raised her middle finger. “Karma is here for you.”


    Then the video ended and I suddenly felt very tired.


    Curling into a fetus<b>, </b>Iid down on the floor, a small tear escaping my eyes.


    My phone began to buzz and I raised it to see Theon’s caller ID.


    I switched off my phone and closed my eyes.


    As I tried to rest, voices from the past haunted my mind, as Iid there.


    “Put your wolf on a leash! Or you’re going to regret it!”


    <b>“</b><b>You </b>are trouble, Ryn.”


    “I can’t have my sonsying with the likes of you!”


    “Who’s going to miss a poor orphan girl?”


    Then the sobs ripped from my throat and I gripped my hair to stop the voices from haunting me.


    Maybe I am all the things they say I am.


    Maybe the world will be a better ce without Ryn Ashmore in it
