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 asked again, “Is there any couple dance for the program?” He said itching his hair on the back by one hand, “No, but if we do there will be one.” My cheeks were being hot and I thought it was going red. I did not know what to say and how to react. Then I said, “But... but I...” He interrupted, “Okay I take that as a yes.” I could not say anything then he took my hand while someone played the music.
<Thinking Out Loud of Ed Sheeran>
I was in his arms, his hand on my waist my hands around his neck. The music was slow so we danced slowly. Then I forgot about everyone out there. I just thought it was me and him. I did not know that others present there were cheering for us. I swirled and when I was on his arms our faces were not so apart. Then I thought that time stopped. I looked into his beautiful eyes. Then suddenly I looked other way. When I saw that our teacher was there I just stood apart from Tyler. My face was all red. I looked down. Well this time couple dance was prohibited. So we would go from some disciplinary actions. Tyler also stood beside me. None of us spoke anything. The crowd was also quiet.
Suddenly I heard a music playing. The music was not slow but fast and disturbed me. I opened my eyes. I sighed. What a dream I thought to myself. I thought about my dream for a while and woke up. Today it was the first day after a month's break. I had a happy mood today. So I got ready and had breakfast. I was in a happy mood so mom thought I was happy because I am going school today. Then after eating I wore by shoes and yelled happily, " Bye, mom." She was upstairs. She also yelled, " Come back home soon dear, Bye."
When I reached my classroom, Tanie was already in there. She was sitting and she was sad. I smiled to her and asked what had happened. Then she asked me, “Do you not know the news?” I said, “What news?” Tanie said, “Jazz left school.” I was shocked. Because just 2 years was left for us to graduate. I wondered why. I thought maybe because she became second. Tanie was the one who was closest to Jazz. So I could see sadness on her face. I replied being shocked, "Really, but why?" She said, "I do not know. However, I know that you must be the happiest person that she left.” I was just dumbfounded by what she said. I replied, “Why do you think so? I am also sad that she left.” She ignored me and sttod up and went out, so I went to sit in my place. Many of them were coming and after few moments Alice also came. A smile on her face and she sat with me. I told her about Jazz. She was also shocked. Then Tyler came in. When I saw him I remembered about the dream. I was flushed. I was being hot and red. Suddenly I saw hatred in his eyes, he was looking at my side. Then I was back to normal when I saw him with that eyes. Then I saw he was not looking at me but the girl beside me, Alice. I thought to myself maybe he hated Alice more now as the main reason was that Alice won over the first place which was the reason Jazz left. But the problem was Jazz, she could try hard but she gave up and left. Since that day Tyler never spoke to Alice in a good manner. There was only a competitor spirit within him.
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
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
