      BLOODTHIRSTY

      BLOOD HUNGRY

      Sammy had been picked on her whole life. When she was very young she had many friends. She was a fierce little tomboy and had befriended some girls and many of the boys. But as she grew older and the other girls started wearing makeup and getting interested in boys, her few female friends faded. Being a late bloomer, her guy friends started forgetting about her in favour of the curvier girls. A few others hung around, but she soon found out they didn't see her as a friend any more and only wanted one thing. After a few years, she had no friends left.

      It only got worse from there. Her parents divorced over money troubles and she was left with her mother, who wasn't very loving or affectionate and who spent most of the day at work or visiting friends. As the first kid in her small town to live as a latchkey child in a broken home, the bullying intensified. Children and teens have a particular knack for finding each other's most vulnerable, intimate thoughts and twisting them against the thinker. And her bullies wormed their way into her mind, making her doubt her mother's love, making her believe they separated due to her, making her wonder if she was her father's child after all or whether she was a bastard. She became broken and browbeaten. As bullied children often do, she adopted a standoffish attitude, a hard shell that people could beat against without hurting her. She pretended she didn't care about how she was treated, dressed as intimidatingly as possible and reacted to all shows of concern and affection with extreme hostility. She felt she couldn't trust anyone any more.

      One day, on her way to school, she noticed a couple of vans pulled up next door. They hadn't had neighbours for a while and she was curious about them. No stranger to playing truant, she stayed there and watched as the delivery men unloaded furniture and boxes into the house.

      But even though she waited until they were done and missed an hour of class, nobody appeared. She wandered to school in time for the second lesson, still wondering about the neighbours. Perhaps they had a kid? Then again, so what if they did? They would learn to hate her the way everyone did. She'd already concluded she wasn't a likeable person. Nobody could like her. Even if they went to the other school, eventually they'd hear how awful she was and stop hanging out with her. It was the way it had went with friends before. They liked her until they met someone who already knew her and then they hated her. She sighed and moved to the back of the classroom, putting her mp3 player on as she tried her best to ignore the teacher and the other students. She wondered why she bothered any more anyway. She didn't even listen to the lessons any more. Her teachers tried to get her involved, but she just bit back as harshly as she could. Her mother never came to disciplinaries: she never had the time and was rarely told about them. The teachers had slowly given up on even asking her questions or giving her handouts. To them, she was invisible. To the rest of the class, she was a target. Nobody even noticed when she was bullied any more. She just went to school to be picked on. She left home after her mother and returned long before she was back. Nobody would notice if she wasn't there. Her mother wouldn't realize she wasn't attending school. And she wouldn't be picked on any more.

      But she had these thoughts every day and she still returned to class. She still secretly took note of what they were studying and revised it in her own books at home. She still wanted to fit in and do well at school.

      When she got back home the sun was almost down and she could see the lights on in the neighbours' house. She sat
