1 CHLOE

Dear Alex,

I don't know why you hate me and bully me, but you really, really do.

At the beginning of the day you let Ryan punch me.

Throughout the day Justin passed notes which said obscene things about me. I got one too. It said,

CHLOE IS A SLUT.

During lunch, you tipped all your food on me.

After school you beat me up.

With baseball bats. You called me names.

SLUT.

WHORE.

BITCH.

HOE.

MISTAKE.

And so on.

It hurt so much.

I begged you to stop.

You didn't.

You said my birth was a mistake.

Trust me, I know.

Love,

CHLOE
