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 said it did not make any sense. Since that day the only name my friends started teasing him was mine and me was his. Then maybe because they teased I started feeling for him more. Well the days went as usual. It was the final term and everyone got busy. This time the competition was tough. It was between Jazz and Alice. I hoped Alice to get on the top. The exams went on. I also did okay as usual. Then it was time for the break until next session started. It was a month's holiday.
At home I spent my time just like that lazily eating sleeping watching TV, playing games. Then in the middle of the holiday it was the result day. I went to school with my mom. I was happy for my result. I had increased my scores a lot than before. I always came sixth in position before. This time I got the fourth position. So, I was happy. Teachers also praised me. Then I saw that Alice was on the first position. I was happy for her. After her it was Jazz and then it was Tyler. So after results I was returning home. Then I saw Tyler also returning. I congratulated him for his good results. Then he also praised me. He said I was doing well. I felt happy with his words. Then we returned exchanging goodbyes. At home also everyone was happy for my result.
After few days we had a family gathering. I had a big family. My aunts had come. So it was a busy day. I was with my sister and my aunts in one room. They were chattering and as I was the smallest one in that room I did not speak much. Then suddenly one of my aunt said out of the blue, “Rozie is the most beautiful girl present in this room." Well everyone clearly heard that.
I knew I was always compared to her in every aspect. She was always better than me. I knew that myself. But when my aunt said that directly I somewhat felt sad in my heart. But I forced a smile. Maybe another aunt, young aunt thought about me so she said I was also pretty. I knew she said that just to keep my heart. I could not show my expression. Then the topic got changed. The day passed. At night that day I remembered the facts. I cried alone for a long time. I loved my sister but why was I always compared with her every single time. In fact my sister was a model for me. She was my idol. I remembered the facts that she was better than me in every facts. I asked god that why it was me without any beauty, without any talents. My sister had talents, beauty and she can even talk to the relatives in a well-mannered. I was exactly opposite from her. I cried. I could not cry loudly because I was afraid if my parents would know that I was crying. I cried until I felt asleep. Well I am always like that. If anything bad happened in day I would cry at night until I slept without letting anyone know that I cried. So it was like a habit for me.
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
The next day, I woke up after the alarm rang. I then sighed, I did not want to go school, but again I thought one day I will have to go and I cannot lie to mom today. So, I freshened up and got ready and ate breakfast and went to school. I walked slowly so that I can reach class exactly on time. As I reached class, I gave a disgusting look to Tanie and sat on my place with Alice. Then, on lunch time, when there were no one, Kyle asked me what I was going to do with Tanie. I was grateful for his help so I had kept his request on my mind. Also, for my own privacy I did not want others to know. So, I just said that I will return her the slap she gave me twice to her. When Alice heard this, she said, “What? Just that much. Come on Sarah, just give her the punishment she deserves and so that she will not be able to do those disgusting things again.” I denied. I said, “No, after this I do not want to be involved with her anymore again.” Then she said, “Your wish.” Kyle looked reli
