My Imaginary World

Chapter 3

Credieu's POV

After pulling my hair, they loosen it and push me in to the chair in the middle of the stage. Pag angat ko ng tingin ay madaming estudyante ang nakita ng dalawang mata ko sa harapan ko. Pinapahiya na naman akooo! Hays... Wala naman ding magbabago.

Their embarrassment make me feel nothing. It didn't even make my heart skip fast. Maybe it's because I'm used to it. Ever since I started to go to school, my classmates are always embarrassing me. They will do something that will make me lose my confidence. But since my mom is always with me, she always boost my confidence and it always help me.

Their just wasting their time on nothing.

" So schoolmates look at the picture. " sabay turo don sa picture ko. " Isn't that the nerd right here? All we thought is that she's a just a nerd but we all don't know that she's a s**t and flirt. " guess who's talking?

" She slept with a man she didn't know. And it even in the motel. Her face is so kapal talaga and look her suot is our uniform. She's making pahiya our school. Can you accept that? "

I heard someone saying,

" She doesn't deserve this school! "

" Her existence makes me irita! "

" Dapat sa ganyan pinapatalsik na! "

And many more.

They all keep on ranting and ranting me. Are they not tired?

You must be wondering why are they letting them bully me. It's because Samantha is the daughter of the school's dean. Malakas ang kapit nya kaya ganun ganun na lang siya kung mang bully.

I am now bored and Samantha's just keep on talking and talking. Her voice irritates me. Can she just stop?

" This girl right here must deserve a punishment right? She deserves to linis a comfort room for isang week. Should we tell it to the dean? "

" Yeees! "

" We agreeee! "

Wat dahek? I'll clean a comfort room? Oh comeon men! I'm allergic to those cleaning sprays. I always got a fever whenever I smell and it stays in my nose, flu to be exact. Sana ay wag akong mahimatay.

" Owkeeey! Linis linis the comfort room for isang week starts tomorrow. " she even clapped. " Okay guys go back to your room na. We must not sayang our precious oras for this girl na nerd. "

As soon as they leave, the bell rang. So I stood up and go to our classroom.

Our professor is not yet here so I decided to take a nap first. My senses get back when I heard a loud shout.

" Ms. Grayson! Detention now! "

Detention kagad umidlip lang naman ako. I don't want to make my consequences big that's why I go to the detention room. There, I can sleep peacefully with no problem.

I am in the middle of my dream when I heard my phone ringing. It's Chloe.

" What do you need?! " I asked her.

" Nothing. I just missed you. " aish!

" You called me just to say that! By the way, Imiss you too. " it's trueee. I miss her also. " I heard your going back ha? Why so early? "

" It's just that something happened in my work and I don't want to be involve so I decided to go back. "

" Nice! Kwentuhan mo ko pa- " my words were cut when I saw a teacher walking towards this room. I saw it through the glass window.

" I'll talk to you later. Bye! Love you! " and with that, I ended the call and keep my phone in my pocket.

Before she open the door, I bow my head and pretended to be asleep.

By the way, she's the teacher incharge in the detention room. She has this terrifying aura and her face looks like gonna kill you. She's old and I bet she spend years here serving in the academy. Her name is Esmeralda Smith. I heard her husband and her child died in a car accident and she's the only one who survived. They said that she's a happy go luck person but it changed when that incident happened.

People change when something happen that has a big impact in their lives. People change when they're hurt.

" Hey miss, you can now go back to your classroom. " with her masungit voice.

Some students might hate her, but for me, she's one of the best teacher i've ever met. Despite of her aura, she is gentle and caring. But you can't see her laughing nor smiling.

I nod in response. I carry my bag and go back to our classroom.

The professor is teaching so I need to excuse my self in order to get in. Or I'll just stay here outside and wait for her time to end. The class time I mean.

Since I'm a bit hungry, I went to the cafeteria and buy some sandwich and orange juice. Siguro naman pag naubos ko na 'to tapos na yung klase nya.

Minutes have passed and I decided to go to our room. I enter without looking everyone. I just bow my head and walk fast. That's what I usually do though.

" That's all. Let's call it a day. " Prof. Jessica ended the class.

I packed my things and went out.

I was about to open my car when someone pulled my hair. It feels like my scalp were rip off. Then a second ago a loud noise filled the parking lot when I felt something touches my skin. In my cheeks to be exact. My face gets numb for a bit and I'm sure right now, it leaves a red mark on my cheek.

Instead of facing them I just cover my face with my hair. I don't want to make it a big problem anymore. Someone's laughing and I'm very sure who owns that voice. I don't want to remember the past but the fact that she laughs, the memories bring back.

( Flashback )

" Hey Credieu! " oh it's Sam. She's my bestfriend and my sister. Well not sisters by blood but sisters by heart. She's always protecting me when someone is bullying me. She's my knight in shining armor. Girl edition ofcourse.

" Yes? " I asked.

" Let's buy something to eat. I'm starving. "

" Oh just wait for a second. " then her phone rings.

" Okay. I'll just take this call. " I nod.

I clean my things and get my wallet. I was about to ask something to her when I heard her laughing. Honestly, it scares me. She looks like a witch. Her laugh gives me goosebumps.

I just avoid that feeling and continue to talk to her. Maybe the one that they're talking is worth laughing for.

( End of flashback )

Until now, her laugh gives me goosebumps. I don't know why but when I heard it, all I wanna do is to run and start the engine of my car. Years have passed and it's the same feeling I feel today.

" Do you think na ganon ganon na lang yon? You make me feel pahiya sa classmate natin. You even sabi them my beautiful name. How dare you huh?! " her irritated voice is so obvious.

" When did you have the right to make kwento them our story? Our ugly story! " she even added .

" Since the day that our friendship ended. " ofcourse I only whispered it. I'm brave in my mind but I'm coward in reality.

I heard a footsteps walking away. And I had a chance to ride in my car. Geez! Why did she laugh? Is she crazy? After laughing she burst out and then leave? I think she needs a psychiatrist.
