My friends teased me with the name of the most handsome guy in our class. Not because we had something but he was teased by almost everyone's name. Although he was good in studies, he was the second topper every time. His name is Tyler. Since Alice was topper now he became third in position. Alice and he never had good communication. They were like rivals. I always thought him as a playboy. One day, in lunch time he proposed that beautiful second topper girl in front of whole class. Everyone cheered for him. As for me I never liked him as in my head he was a playboy. I thought he was a playboy because I had heard he had a girlfriend and there was much not time for their break up he proposed another girl. Then Jazz (second topper) said him to give her some time to think. It was a weekend after that day. So I didn't know what happen to their relation.
Until one day, we had a picnic. This time I had a friend, so I went. I was happy and excited. The spot was beautiful. We could have a nice view from a 10 min walk from the spot. So few of us, me, Alice, Jazz and few friends went to that spot with a beautiful view. To our surprise, Tyler and two more boys followed us. Then Tyler said he had to talk to Jazz in private. Then without enjoying view we came a little down to give them some time. We were a little far but we could see what was happening. Tyler got on his knees and proposed her, again. Then, I heard the other girls saying that they were already in a relationship, why did he do that again. Then they were talking more so we thought to return.
Then a boy who was with Tyler named Saww came and asked for Alice. I was near to Alice and everyone forced her. So, she went with him on that spot. He said not to wait for them and give more privacy. So we went back to the picnic spot. Then again I was alone. I sat and thought. Obviously, Alice would say me what happened so I was just waiting for her. After few minutes both returned. I asked Alice in a teasing manner, “What did he tell you?" She said, “Nothing special." Then I clearly knew she did not want to tell so I did not bother to ask her more also.
After few days, I heard the rumor that Saww had proposed Alice. I was hurt at first because Alice did not tell me about it. Then I asked her if that was true. She said, “Yes, I did not tell you because I did not accept him. I did not want to talk about that thing more." She added, “How did you know about it?" I replied, “Many of others have been talking about it. So I heard it." She became sad because she didn't want others to know. After few months, I was not that loner now. I talked to everyone. But still Alice was my best friend. We went home together every day.
One day, Tyler had asked me to take notes for him also, because he sat at my back seat. Alice was absent on that day so I sat alone. I said okay and took notes for him also. When he returned he was thankful to me. That day was nothing special. The other day, I saw Tyler with one of our friend talking. Her name was Tanie. She was also beautiful. When they were talking the class's door was closed. As the door had a small glass I could see them. Alice was with me. Then we saw that Tanie was being shy. She did not talk much. Then I thought he proposed her this time. Then a week passed. They were not in a relationship I thought. But one thing was for sure, Tanie liked Tyler.
Few days passed and I had to go to doctor for my ear checkup, because I had problem in my ear. When I returned from doctor to class. Everyone said to sit at the seat that was in front of Tyler which was empty. I thought they were teasing so I sat with Alice. Then during whole lecture, almost everyone said that Tyler felt bad though Tyler did not say anything. When I saw Jazz's face she was expressionless. She did not speak a single word. When the class ended, everyone forced me to sit on the empty seat. So I sat with Alice on that seat. When I asked Alice what was happening, because she also insisted me to sit there alone. But I forced her to sit with me. When I heard the reason I was... I do not know what I felt.
Alice said, “Tyler did not let anyone sit on that bench saying that it was reserved for Sarah. So everyone forced you to sit there." I was shocked at first. I replied, “Why would he?” Inside my heart I asked myself, why would he do that, why for me? Many thoughts crossed my mind. I thought if I was the next target like Jazz and Tanie. But I also felt touched for his actions. I do not know I was happy maybe. No one had ever done that for me. After thinking for a while I remembered I had taken notes for him last time. Finally I thought that was the reason. But again I was late in fact so he had his notes by himself why would he keep the seat for me. Ha-ha I also thought if he liked me. Well maybe it was this moment I started liking him. I do not know the reason but I started noticing him since then. I was swayed away by my thoughts until Alice replied me.She obviously started teasing me saying that he liked me. I s
I am in school. I am being praised by everyone. Everyone liked me now. Our school was holding a big program. So everyone was practicing something they like. I was just sitting thinking what should I do. I always loved being a host. But I get nervous in front of crowd many times. So I dumped the idea. While I was wondering what should I do, suddenly Tyler came got on his knees in front of me and said, “Sarah, will you be my partner for the dance?” Everyone who had been practicing was diverted because Tyler got on his knees. So everyone said to accept the request. I was already flushed when he got on knees. I was also shocked because there was no couple dance this time then why did he say so. Also why did he choose me? But I got my senses back and said slowly, “I don't know how to dance.” He said, “Don’t worry, you just need to follow my lead. I will help you.” Everyone was telling me to accept. So I
When the days were passing by just like that. One day it was raining when I was in school. During lunch, Alice and I went to classroom after we had lunch. Tyler, Saww and few friends were there. We sat on our place. I insisted Alice to sing song. Well everyone in the class knew she sang well and had a beautiful voice. Well maybe she also was in mood, she started singing. At first everyone listened, even Tyler who was on the opposite side of our bench looked and listened but at another song Tyler was occupied with his own chats with other friends and Alice's song was like a background music for them. It was romantic songs she sang. Then Alice also started insisting me to sing. I never had sang in front of anyone before. So I denied at first.But she started threatening me, “I will never sing again next time if you don't sing today.” So I agreed. I started with a romantic song. When I started almost everyone had looked at me. I first did not
When we returned home, the situation was kind of tensed or what to say maybe sad. Well, my maternal grandfather (mother’s father) passed away. I was shocked from the news. I was attached to him. Although we did not live in the same house, I respected him. He also loved and cared about me. I went to see him for the last time with my family in his house. Whole way I was too quiet. After I reached I saw that… that he was lying down lifelessly. When I saw him, I could not cry. I could not speak a word. I felt my heart heavy. I could not believe that he left us. I could hear crying sounds. Maybe people thought me heartless because I did not shredded a tear. But deep inside I knew how I felt. That after his ceremony, everyone went back to their places. I was in my room alone. I could not sleep. I did not eat anything also. I cried until late night and did not sleep before 3a.m.The next day everyone was mournful. I did not go to school. M
For a few days nothing exciting happened in school. We had pressure on us to study. Our test was on head. Everyone was studying hard. Well I am not so fond of studying, so I was not working hard like others. I was like if I understood in class and once I read the subjects I would do exams satisfactorily. Alice was on different level. She really studied hard every time. Even when she had leisure time she would study. So one day I asked her why she did so. The she replied, “I always love studying. It is not like I am protecting my first position but as I loved to study it was like killing two birds with one stone." I was surprised by her answer and told her to not to pressure herself much. Because I did not love studying so I thought she was bluffing. But what she told was true.My mom and her mom had trusted each other with us. If we had go anywhere, my mom would let me go if she went and she did not let me go if she did not g
“Sarah”It was Kyle who chose me. When I heard that Tyler actually chose Tanie I felt like the sky crash landed on me. I was really sad. But I was also thankful that Kyle chose me than her sister. If he also would have chosen Tanie then the situation would be bad. Anyways as I was thankful to Kyle I thought that I will give my best in this game although I did not know how to play properly. The game started. Until half time we had equal scores and I did not do much just passed the ball when it was on my hand. Then, after half time, it started again. I somewhat understood the rules. Then, Tanie had the ball, she was going for her score, but before that I snatched it from her and went with the ball and scored in my basket. I was so happy. I scored totally two times. Tanie could not get point for her group and also made mistakes which leaded to decrease few points of her group. At the end, we won the game. I was so happy.The first reason was because I als
It was Kyle who opened the door. He saw me, I tried to stop crying but tears well still flowing from my eyes. So, I looked at the other side. He came in and closed the door. Alice was so angry that she yelled at Kyle, “What have you come for now? Does your sister…” I grabbed Alice's hand to stop her. Then, I wiped my tears on my face and turned to them. My eyes were red and I was controlling my tears from falling down. When I saw him he was actually shocked by what Alice said. He looked confused. Then, I asked in a low and shaky voice, “Why are you here?” He replied, “I was passing by and saw you crying so I came in. Sorry, if I interrupted.” He was about to leave. My tears had fallen again. Alice saw me and she could not control herself and yelled again, “Tell your sister that one day her turn will also come.” Kyle who was almost at the door stopped. I was afraid because I thought if Tanie could do those things then Kyl
Whistle (A message notification sound)I wiped my tears and opened my cell phone. I opened the message. The cell phone fell from my hand to my bed. I just sat still for a few minutes until <Whistle> another message came. Both messages were from Tanie. The first one was my video. The second message was: Don't you dare speak a word to anyone. If you speak, I will send this to all students from our school. I will also post it on internet. This video will only be with me until you are a good girl. I will make you famous. Also, stay away from Tyler.I could not cry now. I felt like my eyes were burning and all tears had already fallen down. I thought about that incident and sat on the floor near to bed. I put my head on bed and stared at my room's wallpaper for a long time. Suddenly I stood up. I opened my school bag, I threw things turning the bag upside down. I found the thing I was searching, a sharpener
