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. Maybe I was really shocked that I did not go to school for more than a week. My parents also did not force me because they knew how much I was attached to my grandfather. So after mourning for a few days, I went back to my daily life. When I went school, everyone knew the reason why I was absent as my mom had informed the teacher about the loss in our family. So in class I could not understand what teachers were teaching because I had missed a lot. So I took notes from Alice every day and studied. Then, we had our test and I did okay in it. The days were back to normal.
Then one day everyone in our class got an invitation for Samaira's elder brother's marriage. After taking my parents’ permission I was allowed to go. On that day, I tried my hard to look good. I wore the best dress in my closet. I and my friends had decided to meet at one place and go together. So we met and first we were all girls so we praised each other. It was also like a formality. Then I came to know Tyler was also going to the wedding after I saw him. He looked so handsome so charming that I was taken away by his looks for a few seconds. He was with other boys. Then everyone had eyed on Tanie. But no one spoke but Tyler said, “You’re looking beautiful today.” She blushed. Then other guys praised other girls. Saww praised Alice very much. Well no one praised me. But then one of them looked at me and said, “Oh, you are also coming with us?” I saw that no one had even noticed me until he said that. My eyes were wet but I did not let my tears come out. Then before I said something. Tanie said, “How can she not go to a party.” Everyone understood her. They literally meant how I cannot go where we eat delicious foods. Everyone laughed except Alice and I could see that Tyler was also fake smiling. I did not say anything but kept a fake smile on my face. Then Alice spoke up and said we should buy something. Then we bought a bouquet and some gifts after combining all of ours money and went to the destination by bus. Well when getting off from the bus the boys got off first and Tanie was in front of me I was the last one and one of the guys gave her a hand to get off from the bus. I thought he would give me a hand also but they went. Then I just slapped my head slowly and got off.
We were welcomed by Samaira and her family, we congratulated the couple and gave gifts and took photos. Then while we were eating, someone noticed my plate and said, “Just take how much you want to it right now. It would be inconvenient to take food again.” He said that because he thought I had less food on my plate. But although I was fat I never ate so much like they thought. So I just said, “Okay.” After eating everyone was dancing. I sat alone in a corner and watched them dance. Then in the middle Alice was trying to pull me, I was denying her. Then suddenly Saww came and said, “Don't force her.” One of the guys listened and added, “If she dances this place will turn into dust soon.” I felt sad, angry when I heard that. Alice also did not bother me anymore. I was alone in that corner. I could not control my tears so I went to bathroom and went in one of the box and cried. I cried without making any noise. After crying for a while I stopped and went back after adjusting my face. They were still dancing, so I stayed in that corner again. Everyone enjoyed.
As it was already 8p.m., when we were about to leave so we were sent by Samaira's uncle from cabs and we decided to take the cab to the place we met before. Then we parted ways from there. Tyler, me and Alice our homes were on the same way. So we walked together. Firstly Alice's home came. We shared our goodbyes and then I walked with Tyler. Then I felt an awkward silence between us. We just walked side by side. Then suddenly a bike with full power just passed by me as Tyler pulled me towards his side. We were really close when he pulled me as he protected me. I was shocked at first but then I thanked him. Then he changed sides and we walked again in awkward silence until his home came. I was about to say him Bye but before I spoke he said, “I will walk you to your house.” I thought it would be inconvenient for him so I said its okay and denied. But then he said in a calm voice, "I saw how you are on roads. So it will better if I will walk with you. And it is already night so it will also be safe if I walked you home.”
I don't know why but I felt his voice sexy and also felt safe with him when he said that. In my heart I was really happy. Well my all senses were always active when I am on road but today because he was with me I was careless. I felt thankful to him because I was also afraid to walk alone at night on that road. Then I said jokingly, “It is always safe for people like me whether it is day or night.” I just meant that who would take risk to tease a fat girl. He did not say anything and then we again walked in silence until we reached the path that led my home. Then, I took the initiative and said, “Thank you for walking me home.” Well he knew where my house was because his brother and my sister were friends. So he knew somehow. He said, “No problem, Bye then.” I again said, “Go back properly. Take care. Good night. Sweet dreams. Bye” He laughed lightly and said, "You too" and returned. I was back and was a little happy. Because it was my first time I was out with my friends this late and also because Tyler was there. Well my parents were worried because it was late but was relieved when they saw me. Then I told then the party was fun and wished them goodnight and went to my room. At night all the memories flashed since Alice went home and I and Tyler walked in that awkward silence. I felt it was kind of romantic. But again I remembered other painful memories and I cried my heart out and slept.
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
The weekend was over. I was on my bed. I thought to myself, I hope everything goes well today. I got up to be ready for school and then after breakfast I went school. Then, from the moment I entered school, I saw other students looking at me strangely. Some had fear in eyes, some had disgust. They looked at me with those eyes. I wondered why they would. Then, passing through their gazes I reached my classroom. Shockingly in the class also the gazes were same. I sat on my place. I felt like the class was abnormally silent today. Then, Alice came and just before the lecture started, Tanie and Tyler came. Tyler looked at me with disgust in his eyes. The only thing I did not want to happen finally happened. Tanie looked at me and gave me a smile. The smile was like as if she won something. The first lecture finished. Then, Tyler started saying, “How can we read with bullies in same class? We cannot even concentrate now.” I suddenly understood he was talking about me. I tho
When my eyes opened, I was lying on the bed. I was in the hospital. It was the room for three people. I was in the corner one. Alice was sitting near to me. When she saw me waking up, she was looking angry but I could also see sadness in her eyes. I asked her, “What had happened? Why am I here?” Alice said, “You fainted. The doctor asked if you have not been eating for few days.” I told her, “No, I have been eating well.” Actually I did not eat much. I ate breakfast in the morning, I was empty stomach whole day and then at night I ate sometimes. Then, when I tried to get up, “Ahhh” I felt my whole body pain, especially my forehead and my leg. When Alice saw me then she said, “Do not even try to get up. I should not have listened to you, I should have told the truth.” I said her, “No, you did the right thing. You have promised me.” She sighed and I asked again, “But why am I hurting? What did the doctor say?” She sighed and said, “Your both wound are severe especially o
After a few days, the school had conducted a small program and our class was chosen to manage it well. The program was done as an advertisement stuff. It was done so that our school can be a little more popular. Almost everyone was busy with stuffs to do except me, Tyler and Tanie. Alice had a speech to give. I was left with nothing to do. Then our teacher called for us and said, “Who will be hosting the program?” Then, Tanie said, “Tyler and I can do that.” The teacher nodded and asked me what I will be doing. I could not think of anything so I said, “I could also do the hosting but as they are doing it I will be the volunteer.” Actually I also wanted to try hosting although I would be nervous. But the opportunity was taken by Tanie. On the day of the program, one hour before the program started, Tyler came to me out of the blue and said, “Didn't you want to do hosting? Then do it.” He handed me a diary of the performances today. I was shocked for a while, but again I was a
