Alexia's POV "What the...." everyone broke into murmurs and whispers, the girl picking on me left with two girls behind her, I'm guessing they are the beauty trios. "Let's go." Ben said and we all exited the cafeteria. "How are you feeling?" "I'm fine." "I'm so sorry you got hurt because of me." "Its no big deal.""So will he just go Scot free or are we not supposed to you know report to a teacher or to the principal.""He will go unpunished, reporting it will be a waste of time and we might ne the ones to get punished." Sarah stated."Is he like the principal's son or what?""You could say that." "Who was the guy who hit Chad?" I was truly curious, I needed to who he is."He is not someone you want to mess with, I don't know what chad was thinking, his name is Aryon and his two friends are Alec and Sebastian, the school hottest guys and the bitch who messed with you is Elizabeth, Aryon's girlfriend."So she and her minions are the beauty trios?""Yup.""They are not called tha
The day has finally come to an end, I sighed loudly as the bell signaling end of last period rang, I'm so happy and relieved, I packed my things and left the class after writing down the assignment, Economics is harder than it looks. I had this class with sarah, I waited for her outside the class, she finally joined me and we went to our lockers together."Can you please borrow me your Mathematics note book, I am not yet done copying the note." The teacher for last period didn't come to class early so I used the little time to quickly copy the assignment and part of the note."We have homework there so I can'tborrow you home, except you'll quickly copy it now.""Alright." I brought out my Mathematics note book and she handed me hers, just a few examples and note to copy. I bent down back hunched in the hallway and I began to write."We could enter an empty class, you'll be more comfortable that way." "Okay." I packed everything and as we were heading to an empty class we saw Ben and
I woke up with a massive headache, I went to the kitchen to get some pain killers, I took two pills with water then searched for food but couldn't find any so I quickly made some noodles and boiled one egg, I prayed silently for mom not to come to catch me, it'll be good to avoid her from now on but she's the one who gives me transport fare so I can't avoid her but I can try.I finished making the noodles and served it on a plate after peeling the boiled egg then I washed the pot I used, I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and sprinted to my room, I ate quickly almost having indigestion, I finished my lunch and kept the plate under the bed and drank some water."What were you doing in my kitchen?" Mom asked as she barged into my room. "Nothing," I said innocently. "You were cooking something to eat right?" "No, I wasn't." I denied quickly. "I don't want to ever see your disgusting face in my kitchen, you being in my kitchen is no different from having garbage dumped in it,
I woke up expecting to see Mel's bright face but was met with nothing but an empty room, it took a lot of convincing for Mel to finally let me sleep, they must have gone after I slept, I was hoping they would stay with me, I feel so alone right now. The door opened and I stretched my neck to see who it was, a lady in a suit and she was holding a pad or something I don't know."Good Afternoon, the doctor gave me permission to see you." Wait its afternoon already? For how long was I asleep. She greeted me with a bright smile on her face but I could tell it was fake, she grabbed a chair and placed her huge behind on it."My name is Laura Michaelson from the Save the female child agency," I just stared at her with an empty expression, what does she want? She should go away "last night you did something that almost took your life, you attempted suicide." 'Oh geez thanks for telling me, I truly had no idea, please tell me more' that's what I would have said if I could speak, well I can I'm
The doctor left and the lady from the agency walked in right after and I groaned internally. "Good afternoon, I'd like to talk to Alexia in private please." I quickly picked my paper and pen and wrote down on my paper."Please tell her to leave." I showed Mel's mom."I'm sorry but you can't." She said with a small smile, what's there to be sorry about?!"I'm Laura Michaelson from the Support the female child agency—" "Alexia is not a victim of abuse or rape or violence so you have nothing to talk to her about." She interrupted her, Mrs Laura looked quite upset."My job—" "I know exactly what your job is, she was depressed and that's why she did what she did and we are going to handle it." Mel's mom stated firmly."And what made her depressed?""That's none of your concern with all due respect, you should go....now." Mel and I shared a look and we suppressed a grin."Excuse me ma'am but do y—" "Please just leave, you're not needed here, she was depressed and we'll sort it out what'
"I'm starving." She held her stomach, me cooking in this house is like a sin, I'll go cook noodles for her quickly while I'll take oats."How about some noodles?" "Sounds delicious." She grinned."Wait here, I'll be back." "Okay." I got up and made my way to the kitchen, Adam and mom were no where to be seen goodie. I made noodles and oats, I placed the two bowls in a tray with two bottles of water, I also stole two bags of chips and started walking towards my room trying not to drop anything. "Who gave you permission to enter the kitchen?" Adam's voice stopped me in my tracks, I was about to try replying but instead I just ignored him now he'll know how it feels to be ignored, he's such a loser.I reached my room and I kicked the door with my foot, I was unable to open the door because of all I was carrying, the door opened and Mel took the tray from my hand causing the bag of chips to fall to the ground. "Ugh!" I don't like broken chips, why did they have to fall, I picked them
I felt someone shake me vigorously, I woke up sweating like crazy, my throat hurts and my chest was heavy, I looked around suddenly and met the familiar sight of my room, everything was alright, I took deep breaths and tried to calm my racing heart. I was met with Mel's confused and worried expression, "what was that about? Was it a nightmare?" I was about to reply her, I opened my mouth but nothing came out, not a single sound, I placed both my hands on my throat and tried harder to speak."What's wrong? Please tell me what's going on?" She sounded confused, worried and terrified. I desperately tried to speak but I couldn't, wasn't she seeing that I was struggling to speak."You can't talk? Please answer me!!" I felt like giving her a tight slap as she said this, how will I answer her if I can't speak?"Hold on I'm coming." She rushed out of the room, if she rushing to go call mom then she should rush back mom wouldn't care less, I kept trying to speak but it felt like the more I tr
I finished my breakfast and I belched "excuse me." I wrote on a paper and showed her."Ok." She returned my bowl and came back quickly."I've been meaning to ask you, isn't there school today?""Some people are using the school for something so no school till Monday.""Which people?" "Don't know don't care." She got up and started rummaging through my wardrobe."What are you looking for?" I threw a pillow at her to get her attention so she could read it."Tomorrow is your birthday, you need a beautiful outfit or should I say outfits." "I don't have any gorgeous clothes." I typed into my phone and ask Google to say it, I think this way is more efficient. "I can see that, you know what that means?" She turned to me slowly and grinned widely."What?" I asked with a raised brow. "Shopping!!""No way, hell no!!""Come on Ally, you're doing this for yourself not for anyone else, you need gorgeous outfits to slay your day in, please, pretty please." She gave me her effective puppy eye lo
