I questioned them “ what have I done to deserve this?” They just retarded don’t you speak to me you tart! Then I reported them to MRS Blair but nothing happened. I never walked out the school gates. I was scared stiff they would see me.
I was looking forward to the Christmas annual switching on of the lights in Ballymoney. I had planned to meet with my boyfriend Davis and best friend Jane in the town. I was having a great time then on my way to rafters I met Karen, Claries best mate she was extremely drunk and was practically unable to walk she shouted “watch out your for it!” to be strong I laughed “don’t you flipping laugh, or you’ll be laughing on the other side of your face” she replied that didn’t scare me I tried to be brave.
As the lights were being switched on I stood talking to Wayne and Christina my cousin and his girlfriend then suddenly I felt an object something Durable, bang off my head it was Claire she was banging her umbrella off my head full force she then dragged me into the middle off the street and bashed my head off the pavement it felt like a car was driving at high speeds and had killed me stone dead. I was totally terrified my mother was in the chemist someway I managed to walk into the chemist I totally collapsed face blue, eyes gazing ‘what the heck just happened?” I was rushed to A&E in Coleraine hospital where I underwent twenty-eight x-rays and eighteen stitches on the back of my head this had to be the worst time of my life!
I spent the next two nights in a dark, gloomy, funny smelled room, this had to be a dream I had never done anything to harm any of the year 12 pupils.
Finally after a long, horrible, two week period I finally plucked up the courage to return to school it felt like all eyes where glancing my way and whispering. However, I got through it Claire was taken to the Juvenile court for a caution for assault.
Finally after the year 12 girls left I could relax I could finally lead a normal school life, I am now presently in year 12 myself and I haven’t had any problems since, tonight 27th November is the Annual switch on of the lights I haven’t been since then but tonight I have decided to move on and with will power and couching from friends am going I have forgotten the past and am looking forward to my future in hopefully a further education school.
