Chapter 1
Walking to school was never my favorite. Not because of the walking but more on the school’s part. I never appreciated the structure of the buildings because it makes interaction more frequent. Not that the interactions that I had is specifically relevant. They are more like “Hi, do you know where the Principal’s Office?” by none other than freshman or transferee, the “Vote me for Prom King /Queen!” By aspiring celebrities , and the “Are you doing great?” By guidance counselors. I'm no good in this things . I just nod or pin point.
I didn’t realized that I’m already here until I felt eyes focused on me. They’re everywhere. No escaping. I’m not going to survive this. According to my calculations, it takes 10 minutes to escape the long hallway before I arrived at bathroom to hide from the glares. But that is without some people who constantly crush my legs with their eyes on me. It might take forever.
I can feel my stomach growl because of my nervousness. My arm shaking beneath my long sweater. Like I murdered someone. I’m suffocating. I did check my safety list before I get to school. I wore shirt and pants with sweater to prevent fashionistas dragging me with either me super dress up or super unfashionable. I check my period tracker and obviously it would occur right now. I also wore my backpack in the right way so no one will notice my difference with them. Just to blend in and be a camouflage. But why are they still starring?
“Oh my G, is that her yesterday?”
“Yes! It’s her!!”
“She looks different. In a weird way.”
“Is that the bitch who kissed my baby Ione?”
Yes. I heard them all. But all are not clear. Me? Kissed a guy? Yesterday? Yesterday was Tuesday and I remember having a headache and did not came to school (which I’m thankful of).
I check my phone just to make sure that today is Wednesday.
Scroll. Scroll. Looking for calendar.......
It’s........................ THURSDAY!??
What is happening? What?!!
I didn’t worry no more about the glares. What I’m worrying now is this. This Thursday mystery.
I turn around and ran through the door. I rush down to the open field and let myself breathe.
“Avery.... Inhale , exhale.” I said instructing myself so that I can calm myself. Yet I’m still wondering what is going on.
It was more than just a shock for me. It’s mysteriously haunting. Is it back again? But I thought I was cured.
“Hey.” I was startled and jump because of the random voice that came out of nowhere. He was tall , black haired with build of an athlete. His eyes were fix to mine . Like it was asking for a reply. Which is not my thing.
“H.......hi?” I said while avoiding possible clues for another reply. Looking at my feet while it brushes of the green grass.
“You don’t know me? Well... You still ummm. You know” he said while pouting his lips like giving me a hint of what have I done. “The kiss...” Even with the hint, my mind was still questioning it all. Can anyone explain it to me without commenting? I’m really sweating.
“Ummm.. I would li-” i didn’t able to finish. All I know is that I felt the grass hitting my back and darkness covering my world.
