<span;>Serine
<span;>"Had a voice, had voice but I could not sing." - SIA, Bird Set Free<span;>***<span;>~Present~<span;>"I want you to go back to when you first met Alexander McCann and I want every single detail," the detective ordered.<span;>I sighed before speaking up, "I was 17 turning 18. Senior year was a few months from ending..."<span;>***<span;>~Past~<span;>I sat there with the lightly gingered girl with cute freckles whom I called my best friend, Levine, and also a brown haired named Sarah whom was my other best friend.<span;>"It's totally sick Serine. You're so freaking talented, I mean this is a freaking masterpiece," Sarah gasped and I rolled my eyes. "Way too exaggerate Sar,""You seriously think she's exaggerating?" Levine raised her voice. "Why do you have such little faith in yourself? You know I hate it when you do that," Levine complained."You know I have my reasons Vin," I said chewing my fry. "But those reasons are not good enough reasons, for you not to recognize your talent." Sarah stated placing her palm on my chocolate skin and placed her tray of food. "Can we change the subject?"Painting was a great "talent" of mine you could say. I enjoyed doing it. My at first time was when I was fifteen, I never really knew how to paint. I was never the greatest painter. But my dad always loved it, it was his specialty. I was always so envious wondering how I could be talented in art like he was. He was my biggest muse.My mom, well she died giving birth to me. But I love her anyways. One day, I went into my dad's workshop where he does all his paintings, and I grabbed all his painting equipment. All my emotions were painted in my portraits.No one would ever understand it. Only the artist."Not like that's anything new," Sarah muttered and continued eating her burger. When all of a sudden she rolled her eyes and Levine muttered 'oh God' shaking her head. I looked at them both confused and noticed Levine glance at something behind me.Right as I was about to check what was going on, I heard a voice that was way too consistent at being annoying on a daily basis."Hi Serine!"I didn't answer and decided to keep eating my McDonald's fries, until my one fry got slapped out of fingers. Literally. "Didn't you hear me? I'm talking to you, are you deaf, you addict?" I felt her finger poking the back of my head.Unfortunately for me, we ended up in the same high school. God the horror of seeing that blonde for 4 more years in collage as well, once we finish senior year.. Hell will be unleashed if she ever tried anything.I clenched my jaw trying my best to keep myself calm. "Okay, I'm going to be nice and actually pretend you didn't just do that. So I can go back to eating my fries and you and your friend I suppose, can leave me the heck alone. Okay? Sounds perfect to me,""You don't tell me what to do," Kelly the bitch squeaked. "Look, get fuck away from me," I snapped. She was really taking advantage at the little patience I had remaining. "What?" She sassed."Did I stutter?" Her lips parted as she stared at me. "Cat got your tongue Kelly? Didn't you hear her? Or are in need of a hearing aid? Leave." Levine shooed her away while I shook my head and snickered. Kelly stomped her way to her table as her minion followed."It's literally 4 months until we're out of this hell hole and she still thinks picking on people like we're juniors or some crap. Get a life," Sarah whined and I nodded in agreement.It was true I mean... we were no longer 14 or 15 where we were bullied like no other. We're much older now and she hasn't matured, not one bit. It was honestly sad. It's getting old Kells.Who am I kidding? It was old.Suddenly a squeak brought me back reality when I saw Alexander McCann, one of the hottest guys in this school making his way inside the cafeteria.You know it, you've seen it, you've heard it. All these romance books Alexander was the 'bad boy' the boy everybody drooled over, I can't lie, he was good looking: perfect grey eyes and black hair. Even Levine had a small crush on him.. until she witnessed how arrogant he was and she just lost interest. And it was indeed the arrogance for me.On the other hand Sarah was just absolutely going solo. She was an extreme introvert, it was quite hard to actually make her upset and if she ever did, she'd loose it. Don't underestimate introverts. That's the one thing I learnt by being friends with one.Levine, Levine, Levine, the two toned haired girl who wasn't afraid of anything. Herself and Sarah were complete opposites, we all were, but we just clicked. Levine was loud, an extrovert, she never ever backed down and she has a lot of sass. We were more alike than Sarah but we did have things we didn't have in common.The difference between Levine and I is definitely the confidence. Also, I felt more different. I know that everybody is different but whether you get the intention or not you'll soon find out. I'm an addict and a goner. And to say it so freely, just shows how I'm used to all the labels I've been given my entire life.I'm a little to wild for my own health. Literally. And I don't think that's ever gonna change."Hey, uh, sorry about Kelly. I apologize on her behalf," I jumped when I heard a voice that brought me back to reality.Alexander McCann was standing right in front of me... apologizing?Well yes on the behalf of Kelly but still, it was really odd. I couldn't find my voice I was just speechless. I wasn't expecting this.At all."Serine?" I looked up him again realizing I hadn't said anything back to him. "Oh, uhm no it's okay." I say finding my voice. "I'm used to it," I waved it off like it was nothing. The edges of his lips twitched and he formed a smile that reached his perfect grey eyes."Alright, I'll get going." He nodded at three of us and we simply mirrored his actions. Once he was gone I felt pairs of eyes staring holes into me first I thought it was Kelly and looking into her direction she was indeed one of the pairs.I looked back to Sarah and Levine finding them staring me as if they were awaiting for a reasonable explanation.Makes three pairs I guess.I knew exactly what they were thinking. "Serine." they both mimicked in unison and I rolled my eyes at their childish actions.A smile that hadn't left my face was plastered.
Alexander McCann..<Reminder when I get home; find a brand new spot to have my lunch.Serine ***"Let me go!" I heard an all too familiar voice. "Shut up!" But I heard a cry."I said shut up!" Summer.I ran out of the library and began speed walking my way to where I heard the voices. "Just leave me please!"That was Sarah! I began running faster and faster to where I heard the voices.I swear to God if Summer laid a finger on Sarah.. The hell that I said would be unleashed, would be demonstrated. I kept running at a quick pace and itched closer to the outside. Once I reached the doors I pushed them open and moved my eyes swiftly into every direction. "Ahh!" I heard the same cry. I whipped my head into the direction of the drama and saw Kelly and her minion grabbing Sarah's armDoes she not understand what I told her a week ago? I walked over closely making sure to keep my mouth shut.I wouldn't wanna give her some time to escape but a male voice already spoilt my joy. "Kelly, Kelly let her go!" Why is that voice so familiar?Why are voices today so familiar? One mete
Serine***"Hey Dad," I smiled as I got into the two story home. "Hi pumpkin," he beamed and I went ahead and pulled him into a small hug."Are you okay? Did you take your meds? Do you feel different?" I bombarded."I was about to," he answered."Ahhh, of course," I rolled my eyes before saying, "Dad come on, you have to take your pills. Who knows what will happen if you don't. I don't want to even imagine, I don't even wanna think about it. You have to start listening to me," I sighed and he chuckled at me being concerned which I didn't find funny. "Not funny Mister. Nobodies even laughing," I hated it when my dad never listened to me. He was an aged man with lupus. At this point in life he might even-- I won't even say it."That's because it's only you and I," he looked at me amused. "Touché," I shrugged and went inside the kitchen. My favorite, yet not my favorite place to be at home.Bulimia.I suffered from bulimia. The day I found out wasn't a big surprise for my family and I, si
Serine"It's so quiet here and I feel so cold. This house no longer feels like home,"-BEN COCK, So Cold***~Present~Previously:"I'm sorry mama," I whispered and I was welcomed by the darkness."It wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault!" I yelled throwing the stone in the mirror and the sound of the mirror breaking filled my ears.Pieces of glasses were lying everywhere. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who the person in the mirror was, the one with fresh tears, the one who's reflection was distorted, the one who was a complete mess. The goner.I was nothing but a nuisance to everybody who had to deal with me on a daily. I was nothing but a monster. A stupid teenager who doesn't know how to solve her own problems."Dad! Dad, help me I'm not okay!" I yelled looking at my reflection."Someone please help me. Anyone."I woke up with pain from both my forearms, I glanced down to both of them seeing them a smaller amount of blood than I expected. I wasn't much of a "bleeder"Trying
Serine"My momma always say "girl your trouble" and now I wonder would you ever fall for a woman like me?" -LITTLE MIX, Woman like me***"What did you just call me?" I snapped my eyelids open, oddly missing the warmth of his palm on my skin. Wait, what am I even saying? I should be insulting him for touching me without my consent!"A princess," he chuckled and I snapped my eyelids shut trying to suppress a glare. Suddenly, I felt so nauseous but nothing seemed like it wanted to come out. I snapped my eyes back open seeing that no one else was here, it was only Alexander and I.I forgot it's class.How long had my eyes shut?I shook my head when everything became fuzzy as I tried focusing on one thing only. But everything kept spinning, playing games with my head. "Hey, what's going on?" I immediately felt like I was high, his voice was kind of distant yet close.What did I drink? Did I eat something? "Serine? Serine what's happening?" His voice becoming so much louder and my head s
Serine***One month later"Ms Wilson is really doing it with these prom dances," I sighed looking at all the other students who were just ecstatic. It was that time of senior year,Prom. And truth be told, I did not want to go. But when you have a friend like Levine, you can never get an ounce of freedom. Prom wasn't until the next couple of months and she was here, having all of us gathered in the school hall, and instead of giving us a heartfelt speech of us leaving, she couldn't care less. Her voice echoing through the school hall with all the chatter of the students who were absolutely restless.I sighed."Students, settle down." She spoke."Did you bring my ear muffs?" I cocked my head to left. "As always," Sarah answered softly and handed me a gray pair of ear muffs and I smiled as if she had just saved my life.Well- she had. She saved me from listening to a horrific speech about the prom and whatever else there was to say. I discreetly planted my AirPods and covered them wi
Serine***One month earlierOkay I was seriously not having it. At all.Slamming head into the notebook, I was drained. Have you ever just felt like... dead tired? 'Cause I was beyond exhausted and I needed sleep.Serine"Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel." - Micheal Jackson, Speechless***One month later"Ms Wilson is really doing it with these prom dances," I sighed looking at all the other students who were just ecstatic.

Serine***It was now detention.And I could've sworn I was half dead.My body was about to give in, God was finally taking me to a much more better place, and he arrived at the right time. I didn't mind dying in my sleep- "Ms Williams!" My head shot up and that was a huge mistake because I felt a strong pain erupt on my neck. Straining it. I winced and placed my palm there as Mr Jackson looked back to the pile of pages but not before giving me a knowing look.I rolled my eyes.You are the cause of the pain in my neck, idiot.And oh my, so much would've happened if I ever said those words out loud. I wasn't taking note of anything until I felt a piece of material hit my cheek. I glared at the poor piece of paper and looked around the room to findYes, people. This was Mr Jackson's detention ways. Because there's nothing more painful than being stuck in a classroom only with 5 people and only one was occupied. I glanced towards the one girl who was chewing her gum silently looking o
Serine***"Hey there," I heard a familiar voice and I felt my heart stop. I looked at the lifeless body that had their eyes closed and looked at peace. "What did you do to him?""Oh you're not going to greet your old dear friend?" He asked stepping closer and I took a step back."Did you miss me Serine?" "Don't come any closer," I hated my voice for sounding so fearful but I didn't have time to lecture myself. I proceeded in taking more steps back. "Why are you walking away?" He tilted his head to the side getting closer. "I won't hurt you," he whispered and that's when I felt my back hit the wall."No please," I let out a shaky breathe when I felt him caress my cheek."NO!" I head shot up and I found myself staring at my own reflection. I found myself trying to steady my breathing and calm myself down.Relax Serine. I told myself.It was just an hallucination. I reminded myself.I sat there and removed sweaty hands from him. It's had been a week since my dad hadn't woken up. He nev
