ᴥ︎︎︎ CHAPTER 3: The Girl From 80's ᴥ︎︎︎

After a session of walking, finally, I had reached the room for my next subject. The usual, I sat beside the window and relaxed my complexion waiting appropriately for our prof to come.

Rounds of staring contest at the scenery outside was over as our class president came around and made an announcement. Making this as an opportunity, due to the absence of our prof.

"My dear colleagues, I'm here in front of you to talk about our section's presentation which is that role play from our Art's subject." Ms. President stated plainly.

"...In regards to this, we, the section's officers, already had a story line and the character's are already assigned based on your talents. We are lucky we had some classmates who are in theatre like Chloe and Cole, whose assigned to be our main characters. I'll just announced to you all on which part are you assigned. Take note, all of you should participate. We are already in college people, mind your responsibilities." She added.

From there, she announced each student's part.

Ohh, what would my part be? Interesting, besides, I don't care on whichever they will assigned me. Not to brag but I'm flexible in almost everything, thanks to my 'beloved' parents.

I'm patiently waiting for my name to be called but I heard none, after they finished calling the last person on their list.

Okay? Oh yeah, I'm not that special to get remembered.

"Lastly, Cunningham, you're on the props. Remember your responsibilities people, I'm not gonna keep on reminding you on that. We will have a partial practice later after class, be on time. Dismissed." Ms. President said sternly and later on turned his back and walked out of the room but the vice is heading his way unto me.

What could it possibly be?

"Hello Evougny, I have something to discuss to you. Would you mind listening?" He asked politely. I could tell his friendly due to his curved eyes and lips marked unto his cute face whosoever nice to look at. You can easily get infected by it.

"Course, what is it?" I replied plainly with a small smile still disappointed cause my name isn't present on the list.

"For your information, our storyline has a part that the male main character will die due to an illness on the last part and so in order for that to be more dramatic, we want you to play some background music unto it and it is very nice if you'll play it with some piano. That would be your part in this performance task of ours. Deal?" He asked with his high hopes that I would say yes and he isn't wrong, I love the offer.

"That would be lovely.... deal." I replied nonchalantly.

"Yes, that's great! It is settled then. By the way, you probably didn't remember me but I remembered that you're such a good pianist way back in our junior high years. We're classmates during our Grade 9 years and the way you played it made everyone at awe, remember?" He chirped happily like I did inspire him on that time of my breakthrough.

"Oh, is that it? That's why your some kind of familiar to me. Thank you for appreciating my lame performance." I flashed a small smile unto him as I did add some white lies on the first phrase so that his butt will not hurt.

I'm sorry bro, but my memories are ill, didn't remember you but apparently that first performance of mine who's actually my breakthrough of something what I really love doing but then my 'perfect parents' are never been proud of that s**t and so I called it lame.

"What? You know everyone's praising you that time. C'mon honey, you're good! Be proud! I'm really looking forward to watch that upcoming performance of yours." He continued getting starstrucked on his memory of that performance.

"Yeah... You say so, thank you." I finished this nonsensical argument from my lame performance with a sweet fake smile of mine.

"It seems like, that's all it is. So... may I go now?" I added politely getting rid of those heavy feelings arising as I reminisced that aching memory.

"Oh sure, and by the way, the song you'll be playing is When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne. You don't need to be on the practices just on the final rehearsal, you'll be fine. Thank you again Ms. Miller, see ya around." he replied with a sweet smile. He sure is a lovely man, don't get me wrong. He's not my type. Period.

I just nodded in reply and flashed him my sweet smile. I walked out the room and is heading towards my favorite place in school to kill the time. We're dismissed early because of the faculty meeting I just knew, causes the absence of our prof earlier.

As I passed the massive field, I saw Johnson and his squad in their usual place being a head turners of every single ladies in this school. Hearthrobes, tsk.

He saw me gazing at them and waved immediately, friendly ass. I just waved back as a respect. Swinging my long hair, turning my back at them. Yeah, being an anti social I am.

I'm now sitting comfortably here at my fav spot, leaning my back over the tree resting both of my legs on the ground.

I tell you, there aren't so much interesting in my life and having fun isn't present on my vocabulary. Stuck in a black and white life, very boring as it is. Sometimes, I just wanted to get lost, but life won't let me.

I tried doing suicide but to my luck my maid of honor saw me, dang that was so close. I should have a peaceful rest back then but pain loves me and so I continued breathing in this tormenting world. Due to that incident, there were cameras in every angle of my room maid of honors outside.

And guess what my lovely parents reaction? Oh darling, they aren't worried but instead they despised me more. Saying I'm a disgrace to our family. I did everything they wanted yet still a garbage in their eyes, how amazing my life could it be.

And you think, I didn't tried escaping the house? You're mistaken. The bodyguards were so good that they always ended up tracking me. Seems like there's no escape in hell.

Again, because of that, the punishment were much worst. They tortured me by hitting me with some whip and for a week, they hadn't gave me some foods to eat. Note I was just fifteen when all of that happened.

I did wonder why they still keep me, tho in their eyes I'm unworthy. Oh yeah, I was introduced to the public and it would be the end of their image when they will lost their 'lovely daughter', that's no longer a perfect family could be.

Just what is really my purpose here? I'm just a props in a play? Perfect my ass. Everybody knows that there is nothing such as perfect here in this world. Just when could they open their minds on that thought. They are smart asses but they could be dumb as ever.

Well... Let's just hope my life will end sooner.
