Reborn: Destroy My Bully

I took three days of sick leave for a minor surgery. The day I got back to school, the whole campus was saying I'd had an abortion. Greer posted a photo of my back on the school forum with a single line: “Saw her outside OB-GYN.” I explained. No one believed me. I showed them my medical records. They said they could be forged. The school counselor told me one thing: “Stop making trouble.” Later, some boys cornered me at the school gate and called me a slut. After that, I swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills. My mother held my body and cried until dawn. The next day, she hanged herself from the oak tree in our yard. When I opened my eyes again, my phone screen was glowing. Greer’s post had gone up nine minutes ago. This time, I didn’t explain. I found a photo I’d taken at the hospital three days earlier. In the photo, Greer herself was standing at the OB-GYN registration desk. I opened the replies, attached the photo, and typed one line: “What a coincidence. Were you there for an abortion, too?”
