He left me with his words which stunned me,
" Why did he say that? His words ....they were terrifying" And I froze myself in thoughts, thinking of the scenario again, made me conclude on a thought that I, messed up. Stood straight ideally with slightly realizing my mistake, I pout my lips with the similar messed up look. Things seem unfriendly, but deep down I know that all the steps I took inside or the words I shared with him; none of them contained any sort of hate towards him. I saw a child in him, a stubborn one; but it was filled with fun for me.
However, because sometimes I forget that he is a really rude and sociopathic type of guy who hates me ; I make certain moves and everything falls like house of cards. I turned around and headed inside my house, cursing my reckless actions.
While changing my clothes, and by getting freshen up.
" He rules the school in his own ways ... .but it doesn't make him the owner of my speech. I'm taking responsibility for my work and I'm proud of it. However, ( looking her reflection at the mirror, her tone with confidence turns into silent pause and then diffidence)
....still there's no comparison between him and me. He is like an extortionist, or almost a thug, and on the other side I am, who is so new, lost and not familiar to the schoolmates. Surely, his mind will make a terrible plan,dammit ! Ana. I will be left alone in this dig, huhhh!; maybe this is the voyage of becoming a misery?, because how long can I tolerate it? There is a limit of tolerance, isn't there?.
But there is no limit to people who make fun of or bully anyone !
And even he has a gang of similar types of people, who are always there to support him. I'm really bothered about my life now !. That, stupid jerk!, why he have to take things so seriously, I did all these things and took him in a friendly way but.....he didn't.
And saw his eyes, they were well defining his hatred towards me. Even my lips were showing sarcasm but my eyes, he should have looked nicely into them ,they were easily passing a childish look on him. I don't know how he will take this and how far?"
After cleaning up myself, I sit on my bed think with a sigh and thought subjecting about him, all the expecting things I can go through, can be taken as a guess .I lay down straight on the bed and to divert my mind, I double tap my phone and start scrolling picstagram.
" Whose recommendation is popping up?, it's new ID."
And the name appears as Adrian STORM. In a nick of time,I get out of the slow lost world ,where all the 'Crushers' gets lost as they see the picture of that one person, who makes them escape the reality,I can be of one second or one life.
" Adrian's number..,yeah, i saved it today. That's why his profile comes in my recommendation . At least some things are going great to reduce my stress."
Everything was going great until, I by mistakenly send a friend request to him, after acknowledging my mistake I scream in 3, 2,1
" Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....! shit !"
I try to not behave abnormally in front of him but, as his name comes into my mind ,my body refuses to work according to my mind. For example, my fingers involuntarily sent him friend requests,...his charm is hazardous to my mental health. And the problem is not that I sent him a friend request; it's not a big deal but,.. the real issue is Adrian will easily get to know about the things which happened today between me and his best friend, and also the anger of his best friend. Obviously, it will make him feel awkward as he can't be friends with his best friend's enemy....it's logical. I'm not overthinking; and of course he will deny the request, that will be even more embarrassing to me . Getting rejected by him as a friend.
"Oh my!I'm so tired of it." Thinking of getting good sleep, I switch off the lights and with an open window from where a cold breeze is chilling the room ,I close my eyes. Giving out all my problems and negative thoughts on my table for a while, as I have to solve them tomorrow. I will take a rest.
Morning in school. Starts with a view where everyone is enjoying themselves, and as I pass by, a minor wave of whispers get along with me. They start their lips whispering into each other's ears. Nevertheless, at the hall gate I found Lucas and his friends sitting, chatting together. One mind thinks to find the reason for the unexpected behavior, however I left that thought out for a while. I walk past them and then acknowledge a voice calling out my name. A call to me
" Hey mirror!,mirror..." an unknown voice calling my name, gets in my ears, but generally I ignore them and continue to walk in my way....suddenly, a hand grips my wrist. I turned back furiously and found Katy holding it. She dragged me towards the group where everyone was sitting. She snatches my bag and burns all the books and notes of mine; after gathering them together. It was the moment where with agust I got puzzled seeing them burning .
I tried to find water but Lucas was the only one having the water bottle.
" Please, pass me the bottle! " I plead to him. After hearing that, he stands up and throws the water bottle on the opposite side. I run towards the direction of the water bottle, hearing their uproarious laugh....and the bottle rolls down and stops in front of Adrian's foot. He hold it up a throws the water out on the ground, speaking cruelly
"You Don't deserve my kind words, you hurt my best friend, I'll never see your face again. '' and bangs the empty bottle in the ground, I walk towards him trying to explain but Arina comes in the way ....and with a sad face tells me,
" We can't be friends now, you stand against them and if I'm with you, soon they will make my life hell ...goodbye! " and runs away. Seeing all of them laughing at me ,making fun of me with frustration I ran away from their echoing voices and laughs. I run faster closing my eyes till their voice stops getting into my head and when it stops, I open my eyes and find myself in the woods. I see all around but I am covered with thick trees around me. And then...a rushing noise comes from the bushes....I get closer to it with fear and ...,,,,.suddenly! a big wolf jumps out of the bushes upon me! .Showing his sharp teeth and saliva coming out from the corners . He is all over me .I freak out .....and he bites my.....
He makes a growling sound and bits my ....neck.!....
"Noooooo!...." I scream out loud heavily breathing on my bed .
It was a nightmare, who thrilled me from inside, wiping my sweatie face while folding my leg across and holding my forehead;I ensured myself that it was just a bad dream not reality, so no need to be afraid of it. I stand up ,pouring water in my glass and walk toward the window. My mind was still thrilled by it , thinking about it . Standing near the window at midnight makes me realize that the dream can be a sign of the upcoming danger in my life. I never got this type of nightmare which took all my sleep with it. My eyes lies on the poster which I made to remind myself that In tough times, I may lose hopes, may people with me are not supporting me ,but I'll never be afraid of anything thing ,
' NEVER BE AFRAID OF ANYONE ,CAUSE FEAR IS THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION; AND NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO DESTROY YOU. ONLY YOU CAN DESTROY OR BUILD YOURSELF. '
I wrote this in bold letters to help me in the times where no one is with me. And it helped me. That night, I was losing hope and thought that I should say sorry and sort it all out ....but then I realise that I'm not doing something wrong. The one who should be sorry is them not me..and because of me, if this cover of their fraud fear can come out of other students mind so ,it will be a good deed to do.
If I'm silent like others , they will try to rule and bother others over and over again. I make up my mind that I'll stand ,with all my strength not to harm or fight with them ,but by giving needed answers to their actions. I will defend and play in a way where they will be tired of doing the same things again and again but I'll keep answering them with a smile. May this way will change their minds.
I return back to my bed, with self satisfying thoughts that I won't let down my self esteem because of uncertain reasons. And echoes of a hauling voice lands in my ear coming from the woods. And I close my eyes, ignoring it and fall asleep.
The real Next morning,
'TWO BODIES ARE FOUND BY THE COPS IN THE WOOD, ASSUMING OF WILD ANIMAL ATTACKS. '
Headline of the local newspaper was all over the island.
I woke up with all my energy and a childish smile on my face. I went downstairs after getting ready for school, and found my parents sitting on the couch at the corners with blown red faces. I got it, they had an argument again. I rolled my eyes at them as it is a daily scenario, having my breakfast with Camila who can't stop thinking about the fight between me and Mr. Rock. She told me that they arrived home late, because they were helping Mrs. Latina in cleaning the place as the mess was so huge.
I glared at her, because if she kept talking about yesterday's act it would ring a bell in my mom's mind and then I would have to wait for a long moral morning lecture.
Quickly I rushed out.After having my breakfast I swiftly escaped from her eyes and walked out of the door. Dad repaired my cycle today early this morning, and silently thanking him, I rode it heading towards the Valmot high school route.
In a few moments, I was in the In school. Where everyone was talking about the news of increasing attacks of wild animals, and avoiding them my eyes were searching Adrian. I parked my cycle and walked towards the big door of the hall and found Dorothy waving from the other corner, which gives an energetic vibes.
And then, I found Adrian entering from the door, setting his hair with his fingers, which again try to mesmerize me ,but this time I knocked out the feeling cause I have to know that , he is mad at me or not or I'm just overthinking.
Dorothy runs towards me and asks,
" Your morning doesn't seem good ,what are you thinking 'bout? ". "Do you think Lucas will tell your group about last night? " I ask her hesitantly.
"Of course not!....( with chuckles) why will he spoil his reputation by spilling out how he got defeated in a desert fight ,by you.? Don't worry about that.." She answered and I trusted her words.
I walked out to see where Mr.Rockis, and found him ,Katy and Ed with Ellen troubling a boy with blonde hair and...I walked towards them.
