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. 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 he
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
Serine ***The rest of the day had gone fine but I was not my usual self because of everything that happened with my dad. I wrote down the last words of my notes and then closed my book tiredly.Sinking down my seat, I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples."Alright students, your assignment is due next week-" Ms Blue wasn't able to finish her sentence when an army of groans were heard. "Do you want me to make it Friday?" She raised her brow and everybody else kept quiet."That's what I thought. So for this assignment no group work will be needed." I internally sighed and thanked the heavens. The last thing I needed, was to be surrounded by a group of people speaking, spilling and suggesting. "You will have to do this on your own. Due date is Thursday and it should be completed."And right on time, the bell rang. I tiredly got up and shoved my spare notebook inside my bag and got out after the other students had left. I wasn't even three steps out yet and a familiar pair of eyes met m
Serine ***Previously: But Kelly then did something that I never expected her to do.She kissed him.But that wasn't the reason only why I had even acknowledged it. It's because he didn't stop her, he let her. I looked away once he pushed her away. I watched at Sarah and Levine watched as the drama unfolded in front of their eyes. "Serine I-""You don't need to explain anything," I simply said and walked away.And that was just every single day.I ignored him. I'd cross paths with him, not saying a word, not giving him any reaction, nothing. He'd ask me something and I'd stick with one word answers.Like right now. I was busy sketching something. An alley.I didn't realize how much time had actually gone by but it was only at the sound of someone else's voice that I snapped out of it. "Serine," I quickly slammed down my sketch book along with my pencil. I didn't respond nor even spare the source of the voice a glance and just stared into space."What was that drawing?" He sat down
Serine***I entered my original classroom and took my seat. It seemed like today I was the first one here. Levine was on my right and she was glued to her phone for the past five minutes.I gave up in calling her and just stared at the empty white board that was in front of me. After getting bored for a while, I opened my sketch book and IT opened to the sketch I had done earlier. I frowned at the image and tore it out of the book. I gave it one last glance before crumble it up. "What's with the noise dude?" I heard a familiar voice whine."At least that snapped you out of whatever had you glued to your phone," I stared at her blankly. "Okay look, It's not gossip." I blinked at her. "Do you think I'm stupid or something?""Uhh..." she trailed off and I rolled my eyes. "Oh I know, shut up. You have more brains than I do but I swear it's not gossip. It's real information.""Ahh, I see.""Look your sarcasm is not nee-""Students!" My head snapped into the direction of the door and ther
Serine***"He is so hot! Jesus, oh my,""Dude, can you like, chill?" I said and shoved one of books into my locker. "No but I can't. I just simply can't. If you didn't see what I saw, then you weren't seeing anything at all. But it would explain everything, I mean, you were looking at each other like the rest of us were invisible." She smirked with her arms folded."What are you saying?" I rolled my eyes. "I'm saying the truth. And he was the guy who we bumped into earlier, outside the cafeteria, in the hall.""I know very well Liv," I rolled my head back."I'm just making sure that you haven't had any amnesia," I stared at her for a moment before shaking my head and stared elsewhere. "You're crazy,""Well speaking of the devil," I knitted my brows. "Wh-" I turned around but only to bump into something. "Ow!" I hissed. "Sorry, sorry, sorry. I am so sorry." I looked up to the pair of chestnut orbs and realized who it was.Speaking of the devil, huh."It's okay, no big deal." I shook m
