The Cold - Hearted One

December.

One cold, wintry night in Grand Mountain High, the student’s flock the busy, overcrowded hallways. The trees surrounding the school were covered in blankets of snow, and every second a small, piece joins the towering collection. The pavement is a frozen lake, the pavement is see-through, transparent. The vibrant, colourful flowers lie sealed, closed they are frozen statues that dance to the rhythm of the wind, the storm awoke to show its mighty, furious presence, the lightning went crack! crack! like a whip, in the distance. I was 10 minutes late for chemistry class: normally Sasha would arrive 2 hours earlier. The snow crunched underneath my feet, as I arrived at Grand Mountain High, I checked my watch to see what time it was - I rolled my brown sleeves up, my hands were white, fair. My watch was made out of gold, the diamond bezels pointed at 9:20 am. I gasped, looking at the time and I darted up the stairs, I didn’t want to be late for my favourite subject: Chemistry. I put my fair hands on the silver door, it slowly creaked open, her Teacher called ’Miss Yoona’ was standing behind the gigantic, brown door. Miss Yoona, was not in a good mood, she had an angry, annoyed expression on her face. Her eyebrows were raised, she looked mad! “Miss Sasha, why are you late! You were supposed to arrive on time!”. She said angrily, her tone also got progressively loud. I took a deep - breath and slowly gained a bit of confidence, I looked up at her. She looked monstrous and grotesque. She looked gigantic: I looked petite compared to her. I mustered enough courage to talk to her. “I was late because I had to run some errands”, said Sasha

The class started laughing, uncontrollably - When I replied to Miss Yoona, I was in trouble, I could sense it from a mile away. I was right! Miss Yoona picked up her brown, wooden, painful whip stick and said “Do you think this is funny?”, Well, it’s not!” she shouted, her eyes turned bloodshot red, her face turned scarlet red,

her eye bags were saggy bags of bleach. “Come here, now Sasha, I said now you stupid, foolish girl”. said, Miss Yoona. I followed her instructions, I walked on the old, run-down wooden floor, the floorboard creaked with excitement, as I approached Miss Yoona. “Miss Yoona, I am sorry I will never be late”, I said scaredly like a coward - I was terrified of this woman, she was a cruel, remorseless beast. She held her trust-worthy whip stick and she began beating me repeatedly on my legs, it sent millions of shock waves throughout my body. And then she punched my face, blood comes gushing out of my nose, like an endless fountain. She then pulled my brown chocolate hair that was silky and soft: she ragged my hair like a wild animal, I screamed loudly and pleaded her to let me go, but it was to no avail, she kept on torturing me for another 5 seconds, and then the tyrant stopped. I rolled up into a ball on the lifeless, glacial floor, I am alone, I thought to myself, you have to be strong, you have to make your parents proud.I wrap my arms around my face, Miss Yoona bangs on the grainy, dusty wall, with her whip stick, it was like lightning strikes that got louder as each second passed. “I hope you have learned your lesson, now get up!”. she said menacingly, I get up slowly, my body aches, it feels weak. Miss Yoona pointed at the door, she said to go to the bathroom and clean my face, so that nobody would find out. I open the door, the doorknob was rusty, I limped to the bathroom, facing my head down, so nobody would recognise me. I push the heavy, metallic door with all the strength I have left, I enter the bathroom. I walk towards the sink and turn on the tap, my hands tremble in fear as if something ominous was going to happen. I ignore the sensation. I proceed to wash my face with the warm, liquid water, it stings, burns when I place water on my face, the pain becomes unbearable for me that I turn off the tap. I glance into the shining, glowing mirror to check the bruises on my face.

As I look at myself a tear cascades down my face, I wipe it off and wear makeup to conceal the bruises. I brush my hair into a ponytail.

I leave the bathroom and proceed to exit.

The class bell rings 3 times - which means it is lunchtime.

I walk to the cafeteria angelically, I push open the doors to the cafeteria: Miss Yoona’s eyes are fixated on me, watching my every move slyly like a serpent (snake).

I queue up for some delicious, tasty food: I finally get served, it felt like a century queueing up for food, but it was worth it at the end. I glance at the dinner - lady, she had wrinkly skin, her cheeks were saggy, she had enormous man-sized had hands, they were cracked.

“Hello? Hello are you going to order or are you going to keep on staring at me”? said the dinner - lady, she found it rather amusing. “What’s available?” I replied in a quiet voice. “Are you half German and half South - Korean ?” said the dinner - lady “Yes, I am?” said Sasha proudly. “Wow, aren’t you beautiful”. replied the dinner - lady

I ignore her kind, sweet compliment, “can you just give me my food”. said, Sasha, The dinner - lady throws the silver, sharp plate to the floor. “You aren’t getting no food, leave me!” shouted the dinner - lady. I was shocked by the dinner - lady’s behaviour, she wasn’t normally like that. I walk to my friend ’Aero Zhu’: Aero greets me yeoboseyo, (hello) Sasha! “Hello Aero” replied Sasha with a smile. “Come sit with me”, “Okay” I sat with Aero (my best friend), she was rather a funny girl, Aero loved to play prank - She was the class - clown, she always put a smile on my face - When I was down, or having a bad day. She always seemed to beam with happiness, excitement. “Would you like some? It’s chocolate drizzled over warm, piping hot - fries, be careful though it’s delicious and finger - licking - good” said Aero sarcastically. “Do you have something healthier? like an apple or a banana?” replied Sasha Aero rolls her eyes and sighs, “Why do you have to eat healthy food all the time!” Aero passes the bright, succulent, juicy apple to Sasha. Sasha crunches the apple in her mouth “Mmm - It’s so tasty!” replied Sasha.

Aero watched in horror as Sasha was biting and chewing the apple - She must love her apples. Aero’s eyes twitched at the horrific sight: Sasha was eating the apple, like a person who eats meat. “Damn, girl! You must love your apples!” said Aero, who was revolted at the scene, her unholy eyes laid upon. Aero slaps Sasha’s apple, it falls to the floor and goes Splat! - like a rotten, mouldy tomato. “What was that for, I was enjoying it! said, Sasha. “I - I need to tell y - you”

She pauses for 2 minutes, struggling to get the words out.

The bell rings, angrily.

“Tell me later in class, okay Aero?” said Sasha

They both walk to their music class, they sit down on the wooden, rusty table. “In today’s lesson, we will discuss different techniques of using: A violin, and a piano said the Music -Teacher. He pointed at the board with his laser. It was so bright you could go blind. Aero kept on begging and pleading with me to go, and approach this mischievous, seductive boy, his name: Liam. I insisted since she was my best - friend I walk up to him and approach him, “Hello, my friend would like to go out with

you - on a date.” said Sasha while smiling

He glances at me, he is fascinated by my beauty, “Who’s your friend?”, he replied curiously. I point at her “The one with lavender, purple glasses, she has permanent ache, her teeth are orange-like cheesy Doritos, she has a bad case of garlic breath, she looks like a female version Lord Voldemort but more grotesque and bad - looking, she looks like a malnourished victorian paperboy”. said, Sasha who looked innocent. “Liam and his friend Taecyeon both laughed, “Forget your friend, You look dazzling”. Said Liam who kept on staring at me, he couldn’t get enough of me. My cheeks turn pink like cotton candy, I blush. “B - But, she wanted to date you, I feel bad for her, I can’t do it, I’m sorry.” replied Sasha who was worried about her friend. “Don’t be sorry, she won’t know”. replied Liam with a mischievous grin on his face. Liam pulled himself closer to me until our lips met and locked. The kiss was small, but then it grew bigger and more intense, fierce. I signal him to stop, he replies “Would the kind gentle madam, like to sit next to me and Taecyeon”. “Yes, Yes I would” replied Sasha who was enthusiastic. They both walk and sit with one another, Liam and Taecyeon glance deeply into Sasha’s eyes, she glances back, she bites her lip she blows them both a kiss and she winks at them both seductively - They are heart-struck. I move my hand closer to Liam and I touch his warm, white, delicate hands. Liam crouches down and puts his soft, moist hands on my legs, he then begins kissing my legs and then continues to trace his hand up, he pulls down my underwear and he penetrates my vagina with his hand. I fiddle with Taecyeon’s hair, I kiss his juicy, moist, succulent lips. We lock lips, they both couldn’t get enough of me.
