Serine

"Let me go!" I heard an all too familiar voice. "Shut up!" But I heard a cry.
"I said shut up!" Summer.
I ran out of the library and began speed walking my way to where I heard the voices. "Just leave me please!"
That was Sarah! I began running faster and faster to where I heard the voices.
I swear to God if Summer laid a finger on Sarah.. The hell that I said would be unleashed, would be demonstrated. I kept running at a quick pace and itched closer to the outside. Once I reached the doors I pushed them open and moved my eyes swiftly into every direction. "Ahh!" I heard the same cry. I whipped my head into the direction of the drama and saw Kelly and her minion grabbing Sarah's arm
Does she not understand what I told her a week ago? I walked over closely making sure to keep my mouth shut.
I wouldn't wanna give her some time to escape but a male voice already spoilt my joy. "Kelly, Kelly let her go!" Why is that voice so familiar?
Why are voices today so familiar? One meter closer from the chaos Kelly hadn't noticed me since her back facing me. Don't ever turn you back nena. [Babygirl] But Sarah did notice me. I shushed her silently with my index finger on my lip. Finally, gripping a satisfying handful of Kelly's bleach blonde hair. "Ow!"
I dragged her head back so she could hear me. "What did I tell you bitch? Huh? What did I tell you?" I gripped her hair even harder as her minion failed to defend her. Chelsey, Kelly's best friend/minion tried to tame me. I chuckled at her next words. "Leave Kelly alone."
"I will break you so don't even try." I then twisted Kelly's arm all the way to the back and she began crying at the pain. I haven't even started. While her arm was twisted back, I let go of my grip on her locks and my leg connected with the back of her knee and she fell. I took the opportunity to actually relieve some stress and connected my fist with her cheek. "Oh no you didn't." I heard bimbo number two.
She gripped my hair from the side. Ready for a cat fight because she obviously can't fight. With the arm she had my hair in, I automatically swung my arm around hers, in the process her frail arm bending and now she had fallen on her knees because her elbow had been hurt. I took the opportunity to punch her too. I grabbed Kelly oh, I wasn't finished with her.
I gripped her hair slamming her back against the brick wall, she held her back in pain. She was now lazily sitting upright, I gave her three good punches when I felt strong arms carry me. Definitely a males arms.
My legs were no longer on the ground... gravity wasn't having it's way. Wait, no stupid. Someone's trying kill you! Then realization hit.
Oh..
Oh!Once I realized my legs couldn't reach the ground, I made it even harder for the aggressor to carry me, so I tried kicking my legs as hard as possible to the groin area. Succeeding when I heard a groan and they let me go.
"What the hell?" I turned to see the one and only Alexander McCann. Oh..
Ohhh. "Why are you here? Were you helping Kelly and her minion? Cause if you did I will smash you. I don't care if you're a boy or not."
He folded his arms amused and said, "Yeah right."
"Excuse me? Are you underestimating me? Are you one of those guys who don't believe women can destroy a guy? Because if you are, I'm telling you.. I can fix up that cockiness," I most probably exaggerated. Maybe a teeny tiny bit. But nothing upsets me more than a man underestimating a woman. "Can you calm down? So I can actually explain?" I huff before signalling him to explain.
"You're one hard cookie," I heard him mumble. "Pardon?" I folded my arms. "Oh what? No, I was just thinking."
"Well you were surely thinking out loud." I let out my own mumble. "Did you hear what I said?"
"Was there something I was supposed to hear?" He blinked at me for moment before shaking his head no.
Foolish.
"About the explanation:" He remembered. "I heard crying from the inside and I immediately thought someone was in trouble. That's why I was here and you automatically assumed that I was helping Kelly out because I was present at the moment."
I gave him an almost unnoticeable nod and said, "It's not like my assumption could've been wrong.""Excuse me?" He knitted his brows. "Did you hear me or are you that pretentious at being deaf?" I deadpan. "What's your previous statement about your "assumption could've been wrong" about?"
"However you take it, is what it means." I shrug. "Ser stop being so rude to people." I heard Sarah's voice in the middle of nowhere. I had completely forgotten she was there. "How was that even rude? People don't need everything sugarcoatted," Sarah looked at me like I grew 2 heads right then and there.
"Don- don't pay any attention to her. She isn't necessarily fond of people you could say," Seriously why is she so nice? Trust me, it's not even something I envy. Being "rude" you could say is in my nature. At the time I met Sarah and Levine I still saw the good in people. That's until I was bullied by none other than Kelly freaking Anderson.
She made my high school hell. That's a story for another time. And if she thinks she'll do the same in college, she's not even mistaken, she just literally proved to me she's even more dumber than Patrick on SpongBob.
"It's okay," Alexander smiled. "Why wouldn't it be anyways?" I restrained myself from rolling me eyes.
Alexander wasn't even mad at me and just whispered the words: "You're definitely something else."

Serine***"Hey Dad," I smiled as I got into the two story home. "Hi pumpkin," he beamed and I went ahead and pulled him into a small hug."Are you okay? Did you take your meds? Do you feel different?" I bombarded."I was about to," he answered."Ahhh, of course," I rolled my eyes before saying, "Dad come on, you have to take your pills. Who knows what will happen if you don't. I don't want to even imagine, I don't even wanna think about it. You have to start listening to me," I sighed and he chuckled at me being concerned which I didn't find funny. "Not funny Mister. Nobodies even laughing," I hated it when my dad never listened to me. He was an aged man with lupus. At this point in life he might even-- I won't even say it."That's because it's only you and I," he looked at me amused. "Touché," I shrugged and went inside the kitchen. My favorite, yet not my favorite place to be at home.Bulimia.I suffered from bulimia. The day I found out wasn't a big surprise for my family and I, si
Serine"It's so quiet here and I feel so cold. This house no longer feels like home,"-BEN COCK, So Cold***~Present~Previously:"I'm sorry mama," I whispered and I was welcomed by the darkness."It wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault!" I yelled throwing the stone in the mirror and the sound of the mirror breaking filled my ears.Pieces of glasses were lying everywhere. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who the person in the mirror was, the one with fresh tears, the one who's reflection was distorted, the one who was a complete mess. The goner.I was nothing but a nuisance to everybody who had to deal with me on a daily. I was nothing but a monster. A stupid teenager who doesn't know how to solve her own problems."Dad! Dad, help me I'm not okay!" I yelled looking at my reflection."Someone please help me. Anyone."I woke up with pain from both my forearms, I glanced down to both of them seeing them a smaller amount of blood than I expected. I wasn't much of a "bleeder"Trying
Serine"My momma always say "girl your trouble" and now I wonder would you ever fall for a woman like me?" -LITTLE MIX, Woman like me***"What did you just call me?" I snapped my eyelids open, oddly missing the warmth of his palm on my skin. Wait, what am I even saying? I should be insulting him for touching me without my consent!"A princess," he chuckled and I snapped my eyelids shut trying to suppress a glare. Suddenly, I felt so nauseous but nothing seemed like it wanted to come out. I snapped my eyes back open seeing that no one else was here, it was only Alexander and I.I forgot it's class.How long had my eyes shut?I shook my head when everything became fuzzy as I tried focusing on one thing only. But everything kept spinning, playing games with my head. "Hey, what's going on?" I immediately felt like I was high, his voice was kind of distant yet close.What did I drink? Did I eat something? "Serine? Serine what's happening?" His voice becoming so much louder and my head s
Serine***One month later"Ms Wilson is really doing it with these prom dances," I sighed looking at all the other students who were just ecstatic. It was that time of senior year,Prom. And truth be told, I did not want to go. But when you have a friend like Levine, you can never get an ounce of freedom. Prom wasn't until the next couple of months and she was here, having all of us gathered in the school hall, and instead of giving us a heartfelt speech of us leaving, she couldn't care less. Her voice echoing through the school hall with all the chatter of the students who were absolutely restless.I sighed."Students, settle down." She spoke."Did you bring my ear muffs?" I cocked my head to left. "As always," Sarah answered softly and handed me a gray pair of ear muffs and I smiled as if she had just saved my life.Well- she had. She saved me from listening to a horrific speech about the prom and whatever else there was to say. I discreetly planted my AirPods and covered them wi
Serine***One month earlierOkay I was seriously not having it. At all.Slamming head into the notebook, I was drained. Have you ever just felt like... dead tired? 'Cause I was beyond exhausted and I needed sleep.Serine"Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel." - Micheal Jackson, Speechless***One month later"Ms Wilson is really doing it with these prom dances," I sighed looking at all the other students who were just ecstatic.

Serine***It was now detention.And I could've sworn I was half dead.My body was about to give in, God was finally taking me to a much more better place, and he arrived at the right time. I didn't mind dying in my sleep- "Ms Williams!" My head shot up and that was a huge mistake because I felt a strong pain erupt on my neck. Straining it. I winced and placed my palm there as Mr Jackson looked back to the pile of pages but not before giving me a knowing look.I rolled my eyes.You are the cause of the pain in my neck, idiot.And oh my, so much would've happened if I ever said those words out loud. I wasn't taking note of anything until I felt a piece of material hit my cheek. I glared at the poor piece of paper and looked around the room to findYes, people. This was Mr Jackson's detention ways. Because there's nothing more painful than being stuck in a classroom only with 5 people and only one was occupied. I glanced towards the one girl who was chewing her gum silently looking o
Serine***"Hey there," I heard a familiar voice and I felt my heart stop. I looked at the lifeless body that had their eyes closed and looked at peace. "What did you do to him?""Oh you're not going to greet your old dear friend?" He asked stepping closer and I took a step back."Did you miss me Serine?" "Don't come any closer," I hated my voice for sounding so fearful but I didn't have time to lecture myself. I proceeded in taking more steps back. "Why are you walking away?" He tilted his head to the side getting closer. "I won't hurt you," he whispered and that's when I felt my back hit the wall."No please," I let out a shaky breathe when I felt him caress my cheek."NO!" I head shot up and I found myself staring at my own reflection. I found myself trying to steady my breathing and calm myself down.Relax Serine. I told myself.It was just an hallucination. I reminded myself.I sat there and removed sweaty hands from him. It's had been a week since my dad hadn't woken up. He nev
Serine ***I stared at the girl in the mirror and I shook my head, disappointed. What happened to me? I was okay, I was completely fine.But I just had to be pushed down once again. I just had to let myself be hurt again, I just had to see him.Dream about him and have nightmares with only him in them. Why didn't I do something? Why couldn't I speak up? Why was I weak? Why did I have to fluctuate? Why did I pay the price at such a young age?Why did I leave my dad on my own? Why? Why did it have to be me.I hopped into the shower and allowed the hot water burn my skin. I never felt bothered as I saw some parts of my body become a darker shade of pink and allowed my muscles to relax.***"Everybody please welcome your new classmate. Serine Williams," I shyly looked up and felt more than a dozens of eyes staring at me and nobody said a word. "Why's everybody so quite?"Ms Pillar seemed to have spoken to soon when everybody began laughing.Their young mirths were like knives stabbing m
