BROKEN SHADES

CHAPTER-1

BROKEN SHADES

Liya's P.O.V

"Some battles have to be fought alone;

some paths have to be crossed alone;

so never be attached to anyone emotionally...

you never know when you have to walk alone." This is my way of living , little crazy I know but I don't have anything else to think about and waste my time...

Last night I was packing my bags after all I was promoted to 12th standard. So, first day - first impression so this time I wanted to look and also be perfect. While packing I suddenly heard a voice " see what this fellow is doing ?" I jumped with fear and found 'Jim' my elder brother teasing me. And there enters 'Robet', my dad's first son and the most pampered one... He just turned towards Jim and said "sh..Quiet Jim don't make her angry! What if the murderer wants to kill us even ? By hearing the word 'murderer' I don't know from where this much energy came in me and I yelled at them " I am not a MURDERER understand you both!" And that was my mistake.

My words made them angry and Jim said "let's see who understands what." They both left the room and yeah, exactly as I thought ... Dad entered my room and locked it, without hearing my explanation as usual he started beating me. He didn't stop though I was begging in front of him in fact he said " I heard you are yelling at my sons . Who gave you the right to do so... Haaan? Say me you KILLER . First you killed my wife and now you don't want my sons to live peacefully even?" As soon as he finished his words he unlocked the room and left. I was still lying on the floor, I was not in a condition to get up but yeah I did it.I went to the bathroom and took a shower then wore my night dress. After that I reached my bed and slept.

* * * * * *  

"BEEP....BEEP...BEEEEEP!" Goes my alarm ringing continuously, I shut it off and went to the washroom. Few minutes later when I got to ready, I went to the dining table, everything was eaten by my father and brothers. I just had a little salad leftover to eat, I ate it and walked straight to the car which belongs to my father but trust me he never drive it, not even once. It's always driven by his trustworthy driver.... So, where I was, oh yeah then I sat in the car and guess what there comes a voice  "drop us to John's Cafe' after dropping her." And after finishing their nonsense Jim and Robet sat in the car. Hell I am damn sure they are going to bully me for yesterday's rubbish! But no Jim asked me "are you okay ?" he did this for the first time in my life. I didn't reply and simply nodded instructing him 'yes'.Robet turned to me and asked "do you know what we have?" I wasn't in a mood to see so I just whispered "no". Then he continued "we have mom's diary!" Mom's diary, really, I don't believe, will he give it to me? But wait why is he saying this to me? Do they have a plan to bully me? Yup, I wanted to to see and read it but dad never allow me to touch it either. So why are they doing so? I suddenly got interrupted in my thoughts by Jim's voice " are you hearing?" I have to be careful so I said "yup but what's the need to say about this to me?" Robet replied with a soft tone "just because we love you sister!" Love me? I swear I don't trust what he just said but I can give it a try..."So we are giving this to you, but remember you have to return it back before dad reads the whole diary at night, as he does it daily" I agreed with him.They gave me the diary once we arrived the school, I kept it in my bag and got down the car. They left.

Without waiting for anyone I walked towards my new classroom. Woah! So many new faces and some old as well like 'Amenda Parth, Riya Donald, Ariel Leonard and blah-blah' Actually I don't remember other's name but these three are just behind me like my nightmares, always bullying me.

I entered the class and took a seat at the last bench. Before I even take a relaxing breathe I found Amenda standing right in front of me, she hit on my head with her hand and announced in class "let me introduce you with this..." she stopped. Everyone turned back and looked at us. And she continued "This is Liya Bence our classmate, teachers don't like her though she scores good marks just because she always zips her mouth and don't talk. You can call her 'a creepy monster' get it friends?" After she finished her useless sentences Riya and Ariel started shouting from their benches " creepy monster-creepy monster, she is a creepy monster!" and made fun of me. All old as well as new students laughed at me like a hell, tears escaped from my eyes and I just wiped them off. Before anyone say something else Mrs.Stuart entered the class and announced that she is our new class teacher.

'HELL NO!'

She always insults me in the class I hate her! Wait-wait-wait is she staring me? "oh so Miss. Bence is here! Umm.. Could you please stand up?" I stood up silently then she continued "so which subject I teach dear?" before I reply she burst out into her fake laughter and said "oops I forgot that you don't have mouth to speak right, don't worry I will help you..So Miss. Bence I teach Science,you get it. NOW SIT DOWN YOU STUPID!" Relax-relax Liya don't cry, though everyone is laughing at you don't cry...Please don't do your insult by your side (I explained to myself).

"RING-RING-RING!" The bell rang.

The second period let's see who is next to insult...It's-it's Mr.Peter damn! He is the best, he always supports me and never scolds even. Yes as usual greetings, etc. then he finally saw me at the last bench " you here!? Great..I will enjoy teaching here because my favorite student is here!" I smiled, yes he is correct he teaches good and that's the reason I pay full attention and score full marks in the subject he teaches 'mathematics'. He calls me 'topper in math'..."You can take her help if you have any doubt from today's class!" he said

* * * * * *

He left!..............It's lunch after four to five periods, as soon as everyone left for canteen, I took my biscuit pack from my bag and mom's diary too. After that I went and sat at the bench in the school ground where no one was available...

"All rubbish!" Nothing here is written about me, I read just three names again and again 'Thomas, Robet and Jim'. Thomas is my dad's name by the way. I mustn't be behaving like a fool my mother passed away while giving birth to me so how can she write something about me. Now I hope you understand why I am known as a killer or murderer at my house...Hey dude something is written here before the pages go blank " if I have a baby girl I want to name her as Liya.. Liya Bence!" So she named me and also wrote my name in her diary. I love her for this. I know I am behaving like a child but these are my emotions!!!

"RING-RING.." Why the lunch is over so fast?
