Unbreakable

Revenge

Laura West

"Are you okay?" Lisa asked looking at me.

I saw Lisa standing at the corner of the stadium. I came across her while running.

"I am fine" I gasped while running.

I crossed her while shouting and kept running for my ninth lap.

The stadium was quite big. Before starting running, I wrapped my hair into a bun so that I could run faster without getting distracted. Still, with my low pace level of running, I could only complete a whole round in 4 minutes. I was too slow to complete a round. The ninth round was about to complete. I saw Lisa was still standing there.

The more closely I got to her while running, I could hear her asking "How much round have I completed?"

I yelled gasping while crossing her, "It's the 10th round I am starting."

I was tired of arranging the shuttlecock in the supply room. I was passing by the stadium and saw Laura running there. Just seeing her makes my blood boil. I desperately wanted to forget the past but just seeing her reminds me, of how I lost my girlfriend. Whom I have loved for many years, Whom I am still loving, Whom I wanted to come back to me, and Whom I wanted to love for a lifetime. I lost her because of Laura and she keeps reminding me, of how much of a loser I am. That I couldn't even do anything that time. I should have never left her with Laura.

I also saw Lisa standing at the right corner of the stadium. I went towards her.

I asked, "How much did she run?"

"It's her 10th round," Lisa said while smiling.

As soon as Lisa completed her sentences, I saw Laura coming toward us. She stopped running when she saw me.

I saw how tired she was. She bends over while resting her hands on her thighs. She was out of breath, she was gasping. I could see the sweat flowing on her body.

But as I said looking at her makes my blood boil.

"I remembered Coach said to watch at you when you do running but as I know I just came now completing my other work. So, You can start running now." I spoke confidently while folding my hands around the waist.

"I-I have already started running. I just completed my 10 rounds." Laura stammered while gasping.

"But I didn't see you running. I just came now, you can ask Lisa, she saw me. Right, Lisa?" I uttered in full confidence while looking at Lisa in end.

Laura glares at Lisa. Lisa says, "Yes" looking at Laura.

I Snickered watching Laura.

"But I ran 10 rounds, and Lisa saw that" Laura panics while pointing her hand at Lisa.

"When I came she was running 9th round," Lisa says softly.

"But you didn't see her running the past 8 rounds?" I asked Lisa.

"Technically, I didn't but looking at her condition and the sweat. She did run 10 rounds." Lisa Clarifies.

"The sweat doesn't mean that, she ran exactly 8 rounds. She can fake it also." I explained to Lisa.

"What do you mean? Do you think that I faked it?" Laura sighed angrily.

"I do because the Coach said to me to watch when you run but you started running without informing me. So technically the 2 rounds which you ran in front of Lisa, will be only counted and the rest you have to run again." I uttered while snickering.

I started running again starting from the 3rd round. Though I already ran the 10th round but he counts only 2 rounds. I speed up myself a little. I wanted to complete it sooner. Today the sun was shining stronger than the other days. I was sweating a lot. I was starting to lose my breath slowly-slowly. Whenever I was crossing Lisa and Ryan while running. I could see a grin lingering at the edge of Ryan's lips. He was enjoying the moment of watching me, losing it. I know why he did that, he wants to punish me for the thing that happened to Casey. While on the other hand, Lisa was a little bit upset watching me. She must be sympathizing with me.

As soon as the time was passing, I couldn't feel my legs. They were starting to get numb. I was also out of my breath. I was gasping whenever I completed a round. I thought of taking a rest because I was losing it. But If I took a rest then I probably would not be able to complete the rounds.

Soon I completed my 12 rounds, 10 now, and the two from the earlier. I didn't stop running, I went for the 13th round. My left leg was just a little numb but it was still fine while my right leg was in pain. Whenever I put my right leg for running or put a little force into it. It would be started to hurt. At the first 10 rounds, the pain was bearable but now it was getting out of control.

Soon the rounds were completed. It was my last round. My level of pace was lower. The legs were not supporting now. I have to complete this last round.

As soon as I completed the last round I laid down on the ground, taking a deep breath. I closed for a few minutes. I could only hear my heartbeat thumping. My heart was racing. On top of that, I heard Ryan talking, "It's too boring." He left the stadium.

"What a jerk" Lisa uttered, watching him leave.

I snickered. I could feel my tears flowing from the edge of my eyes. They were soon mixed with my sweat.

I don't remember for how many hours, I have laid down there. Time was quickly passing as I was tired.

When I opened my eyes I realized it was night. I tried to wake up but I couldn't, the pain was unbearable. My whole body was screaming in pain.

I heard my phone ringing. I picked up.

"How was your first day?" Coach Martin asked over the phone.

"Great" Taking a long deep breath.

"Did you meet Ryan?" Coach Martin asked in a concerned way.v

I paused for a while and then, "No I didn't" I replied.

"That's good, you should stay away from him and focus on your game." Coach Martin uttered.

Coach Martin is the one and the only person who knows what happened 2 years ago. He is concerned about me. He knows that Ryan would use every means to punish me.

I gathered all of my courage to stand up and went toward my room. The girl's room was on the 2nd floor, luckily there is an elevator. I went towards an elevator.

"Fu*k" I moaned while watching the notice board which was at the right corner of the elevator.

It says that the elevator will be out of use for a while because of its maintenance.

"Why is it too hard" I groaned.

I went towards the stairs. I have to go up and it's the only way now. I started to climb upstairs one by one. I was in great pain.

Soon I reached for my room. I opened it and went inside. I switched on the lights.

My face became paler by what I saw.

My room was filled with books here and there. My clothes were taken out of my wardrobe. My shoes were out laying here and there. In short, my room was a mess. I remembered when I left this morning, It was fine. But now...

"Seriously! who did this?" I asked yelling in anger.

I could hear a girl's voice coming from outside of the room.

I went towards the hall and saw the girl from the second room and the girls from the third room, they were standing there and laughing loudly. Though they were avoiding eye contact with me, I know they did it.

I was so angry that I went straight to my room and started cleaning. For a while, I forget all my pain from running. I could only remember their laughing face. I could see their laughing face right in front of my eyes. I speed up cleaning the room.

I found a few items in the rooms that were not mine. I filled them in a big carry bag and went straight towards their room. They were still standing outside of their room, laughing like maniacs. I opened the second room Maria was staying in. She was the one who banged the door right in front of my face saying that she doesn't like sharing the room. I went inside her room and scattered the first carry bag items on the floor. I kicked those items on the floor deliberately so that they will scatter to more places.

I did the same to the third room where 2 girls were staying Char and Katherine. I opened the second carry bag and scattered all the items on the floor making their room messy.

They saw what I did and tried to stop me but I didn't listen because of the anger building in my body. I couldn't hear anything they were saying. I just messed up their room. They even tried to push me but they couldn't. When I was leaving the room,

"Never mess with me again, I am not the one who will take it and leave as if nothing happened. I will respond to you in the way you acted, remember that." I uttered angrily while raising my brows.

I went to my room, closed the door, and leaned myself at the back of the door. I sat down on my knees and started crying. Tears were falling.

"Why did I do that?" I sniffed while crying.

"When did it begin to affect me?" I asked myself crying loudly.
