"Hey, I heard it's because your sister pushed you that's why you attempted to kill her, is that true?" A girl approached me and asked, I just walked away.
It's lunchtime and I'm exhausted, I can't count the number of people that have walked up to me questioning me about how I became the way she is."So did you try to murder your sis because she's hotter than you?" The school slut asked."For the millionth time no!!" She spat on my face as I said this."Don't ever raise your voice at me again, you're a lonely loser, you're not even pretty and you think you can yell at me." With that, she walked away."Hey." I heard someone say."Go away!" I yelled not bothering to see who it was, I slammed my locker and went to my next class, it's still lunchtime so I'll just sit here....alone."Hi." Someone greeted and I rolled my eyes so hard I felt it touch the back of my head."What do you want?!" I asked glaring at her."Nothing, I've seen you and you don't have any friends—""Thanks for the friendly reminder." I got up and sat in another seat."That's not what I meant, you didn't let me finish." I mentally groan at her as she took a seat next to me."You don't have a friend and neither do I so we could be friends?" She asked with a friendly smile, this is a trap I've experienced this an umpteenth time, bitches will befriend me make me think they are nice and trustworthy, I'll open up to them, and boom they stab me in the back not going to happen this time, this time I've learned my lesson and once-beaten twice shy or in my case umpteenth time beaten multiple umpteenth times shy."I'm not interested," I said simply."But I'd like to—""I said I'm not interested or didn't you hear me." I gave her loads of attitude hoping she'll go away."Okay, sorry to bother you. I'm Melody by the way.""Didn't ask, don't care." She slowly got up and walked away."Did you hear?" She said, I let out a loud groan."There is this rumor that I heard about werewolves and I can bet you that they are real, I know I sound crazy but—""Werewolf same werewolf! Whether they are real or not I couldn't care less, wait why are you telling me this in the first place." She seriously shouldn't try so hard."You look like a—""I know, a troll you don't have to complete it." She opened her mouth to say something but decided against it."You have a great shape, your body is killer just that you're ugly and we can easily fix that, with surgery." Without further ordo, I got up and exited the class.I pray never to meet a person like her ever again."Wait up!!" I heard someone call after me, I turned to see who it was. Of course, it was that melody girl."I was just joking and you walked out on me, that was very rude and insulting, I'm trying to be your friend and this is how you behave." I wanted to throw an insult at her but decided against it, looks like I've not learned my lesson after all."I'm sorry, it's just people pretending to be my friend all the time, and just when I accept them and let them in they betray me, I don't want that," I said honestly hoping she'll understand and leave me alone."We could be just friends, not best friends that do everything together.....yet." I let out a sign. She brought her hand forward with her palm open, I took her hand. I guess I could be friends with this dark-haired girl with electrifying emerald eyes, now that I take a good look at her, we were both short but I was a bit taller than her."I'm Alexia.""Nice name, although I already know who you are, Alexia Miller, you're quite famous," she said as we both headed to my favorite spot in the school "where are we headed to?""The oak tree behind the school." It's my favorite place in the school. It gives me a sense of peace and reassurance."I love nature too, it's calm and soothing. What's your favorite color?""Grolsch, yours?""Kale.""What's your favorite animal?""What's these twenty questions?" I asked as we reached the back of the school."Maybe, just answer.""I'll have to think about it....deers.""Yeah? Nice.""What do you do in your free time?" Well since this is twenty questions it's a chance to get to know her better."I love hiking, bowling, and her skating.""Oh cool. I've never been bowling or hiking or skating.""Wow?" She looked truly surprised, we took a sit by the tree, I felt at peace here."Well for obvious reasons I don't go out much, the only places I go to are a school, home, and once in a while the mall, and I make sure I'm wearing a face mask.""That's sad.""I know. So are you new or what?""You could say that, well I left lavis high a couple of months ago and now I'm back?""Oh, where did you go?" Curiosity kills the cat."It's my turn to ask the question," oh so that was a question "who's your all-time crush?" She asked wiggling her brows."I'd be lying if I say I don't have one, I do but I won't tell you 'cause you could let the cat out of the bag." I chuckled."Aww, I'd like to know." She pouted."Too bad. So why were you in rehab?" She paused and looked at the ground, maybe she has a mental problem or she smokes, or something like that."I'm anorexic." She finally said after a few minutes of hesitation. I brought out my phone and tapped on g****e."Sorry one second." 'Meaning of Anorexic' I typed into my phone and g****e brought out the meaning."You know you could just ask me what it means.""Shhh, it'll make you uncomfortable and it'll be awkward after."Anorexia: an emotional disorder characterized by an obsessive desire to lose weight by refusing to eat."So you don't eat because you're scared of gaining weight?" That's like the dumbest thing I've ever heard but of course, I won't tell her that."Yes, it's stupid I know." Not only is it stupid, but it's also dumb. Food is life, food fixes everything and she doesn't like food. I'm starting to rethink our friendship."So you went to rehab so you'll start eating or what?""It's my turn to ask, I'll ask twice 'cause you did too. So were you born this way?""Yes, pitifully.""Indeed. Also are you a virgin?""Isn't that obvious?""Hmmm.""So about your anorexia, you're no longer anorexic right?""I still am it's just I don't fill the urge anymore.""Urge?""I'm next.""Oh right, yeah.""What do you want to become in the future?" That one took me by surprise.....slightly."I've not thought about it, well I love writing so I'd love to become an author one day.""Cool, can I see some of your work?""I'm next to ask a question." I smiled and she chuckled, that's how we continued till the bell signaling lunch over rang.The school didn't seem so bad now that I have a friend, we both got picked on earlier but it wasn't as bad as it was when it was only me, I was smiling. I was happy, maybe this is a sign for me.We got onto the bus laughing like maniacs."That's the worst dad joke I've ever heard." Everyone was looking at us like we were fools, not that we aren't but gosh."Okay, I have another one.""Why is a fish so smart?" Her face was red from laughing so much."Why?" I asked anticipating a hilarious reply."Because it lives in school." We both burst into a fit of laughter. I can't remember when last I laughed this hard, our laughter died down and we burst into another fit again."You both are freaks." We heard someone say and we laughed even harder, Melody even hit her head on the bus window but that didn't kill our joy."I'm so glad I met you," I said as our laughter died down."Yeah." "Hey, there is this funfair going on in the outskirt of town on Wednesday. This town, Ojai is not that big so i
I must have fallen asleep while I was crying, I really needed the rest though, my face felt weird so I decided to check the mirror, my eyes were swollen, red and I had bags, my cheeks were also red and puffy, it was due to my excessive crying.I don't think I'll last long in this house, I should start saving so I can get my own apartment but first I need a job. The ringtone of my phone interrupted my thoughts.I removed my phone from my pocket, it was melody calling, I answered the call and placed it on my ear."Hello." My voice was broken and hoarse I had to clear my throat a few times so I could sound a bit normal. "Hey its melody." She screamed into the phone."Yeah I know, I saved your number remember?""Oh yeah, what's up? Did you ask them yet?""No not yet, I slept off.""Oh, okay do ask them on time, it starts by 5:00 pm but we can go there around 6:00 pm by the time we arrive there it'll be in full swing." She informed, I'm sure mom will not allow me to go but still I'll ask b
"Hey, where are you?" I entered the fair and the view was quite pleasuring and amusing. Everywhere was well lit, there were different stalls, some were decorated beautifully, I could see swings, jewelries, articles, toys, snacks, food and some kids running in different directions with their mom right on their tail, I smiled at the scene in front of me."Hello, are you there?""Yes, where are you?" I had to plug my other ear with one finger and press my phone to my ear really hard so I can hear what she was saying."I'm in front of the gourmet food stall next to a red tent." She described where she was and I looked around to find the red tent, I found it and used my eyes to search around for her."Found you." She was wearing a red short and a baggy cream coloured shirt and holding a red bag. I hung up the call and head to where she was."Hey." I said as I neared her."You look stunning, I wish I had your shape, you're rocking those jeans." She spun me and I blushed."You look amazing to
"Let's start with the ring toss stall." We marched to the stall and waited our turn. "You have four rings each and you have to toss the rings and they should land on the bottles, if you successfully toss all the rings in the bottles, you get to choose any teddy of your choice." The stall guy informed when our turn came. He pointed st the variety of teddies as he said his last sentence."Alright. I want the panda." I giggled like a five year old as I looked longingly at the panda, it was a medium size and I just love it. Melody paid for the rings and handed us four rings each. "Looks easy." Melody moved to the side and I took a stance ready to toss the ring to the first bottle, I tossed the first one and missed."Shoot!" I yelled in disappointment as I missed my shot."Try again." I positioned myself and tossed the second ring."Bulls eye!!" It entered and I was grinning widely."Nice shot." The man complimented. "Nice." "Thanks." I said to Melody as I prepared to toss the third rin
"Thanks." I paid the driver and quietly went to my bedroom window, I climbed back up with the help of a tree and into my room. I shut the window quietly switched on the lights in my room.My disguise was still intact, I went to the bathroom and washed off the paint on my face, I wiped my face with a towel, I took a quick shower and got out. Changed into my night dress, plugged my phone, and climbed into bed.I rearranged my pillows and sighed happily, I switched off the lights and my room door flew open, I quickly shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep, the person turned on the lights and after a few seconds the lights went off again, my door was shut. I opened my eyes and shut them back, I smiled contend and I immediately gave in to the darkness. *****My alarm blared, I got up and turned it off. I stretched my body and smiled as I remembered the event of last night, I got out of the bed, made it and went into the bathroom. I took a much needed bathe and wrapped my body in a towel
"Now onto your punishment, from now on you'll be the one solely responsible for my daughter, you will dress her, bathe her, feed her, look after her and clean after her." I looked at her in shocked."What?!" It's not that bad right? Of course it is."You will no longer go to Levis high I'll have you transferred to another school, also you will be the one to handle all the chores, cooking and looking after everyone hence forth." She shot daggers at me."I can't do all that, I'm just sixteen how exactly am I going to handle everything?""If you can't do it, the door is that way," she pointed at the door and glared at me "pack your things and leave." Without another word she spun on her heels and left."Where will I go?" She stopped in her tracks, I looked at her with pain in my eyes, she slowly turned around and gave me a look that further shattered my poor heart."Hell." I broke into tears and she left. Thirty minutes laterI wiped my face and collected myself, I dragged my ass and bac
I jolted awake and looked around frantically. "Relax it was just a speed bump." Mel said with a small smile. What? How? Where am I? I looked around and saw the familiar faces of my classmates, I was inside the bus.Did I travel back in time?"You've got some drool on your chin and cheeks, ew!" Mel pointed out, I touched my face it was wet from saliva, I wiped my face with my shirt."I didn't know you drool in your sleep." She gave me a disgusted look. I see! It was all a dream, thank goodness, what a relief. The bus came to a halt and everyone started getting down."Here is my stop." I said after a few seconds of realization. "Yeah, see you tomorrow." "Bye." I grabbed my bag and got off the bus. I walked to the house, I opened the door and silently prayed that my dream doesn't come true.I went to the kitchen but mom wasn't there but there was a parcel, it must be the pictures and it was still sealed meaning mom hasn't seen it yet, thank God I jumped up and down in a spot smiling lik
The rest of the week went by quickly, Mel was no longer upset that I was leaving well she still is but not as upset, while the rest of my gang were thrilled. It's Sunday night and I'm quite excited to start Arsenic high tomorrow, I don't think the excitement will allow me to sleep, I ironed my uniform and placed them neatly in my wardrobe, I wished there was no uniform in Arsenic high it would have been much better.I laid on my bed thinking of different ways tomorrow might go wrong or right, makeup isn't allowed so that's a problem, I truly pity a lot of eyes tomorrow, it's either I encounter a bully and will receive lots of insults from almost everyone and the other way is I won't encounter any bully and neither will I receive insults from everyone. There is no chance of me not encountering at least one bully or bitch, I'll receive lots of bad, irritated, disturbed looks from people so I should start mentally preparing myself for what to come tomorrow. I'm both anxious and excited,
