chapter 1
My heart raced fast with the banging of the door. I wanted to speak up for myself. I am not scared, but I feel tired. I don't want to waste my words and energy on her. Fury, wrath, anger. Maybe these words explain what I feel right now.
Get out of the bathroom, Maria, no matter how long you take, but you will come out in the end, so make it quick. Okay, let's be straight. How much longer are you gonna keep us waiting? Emma yells from outside.
I could hear the giggles of the other girls as if humanity had left the earth.
Seriously, I don't get why she is still not used to all of this. It's been so long, Sarah sighed.
The door knob rotates at 360o, the door opens and a ravishing girl with the dark brown shade of her hair falling onto her fair face, rosy cheeks, naturally sharp cheekbones.Yes, it's me. I dressed up in a plain violet shirt and jeans that day. I'm 5 by 4 feet tall, not too slim, not too thick, just the perfect size. I mean, at least one should appreciate themselves.I stepped out of the bathroom because I didn't care I'm brought up by a brave woman.
I had a spark of revenge in my eyes.
Sarah's POV
Her watery eyes clearly showed that she was holding back her tears.
Oh oh oh! Look who's a good girl. Here she comes, our poor Maria. It seemed like the tears would drop out of her eyes any instant, but she stood tough.
''I'm leaving.I have got some work to do," Maria replied bluntly''
Leave my way, !!, I'm just sick of getting played all the time," she said, in a very harsh tone and left the bathroom fiercely. Emma tried her best to grab her bag from behind but, Triss stopped her, her second best friend.
she screeches ''you know kai doesn't want me to browbeat anyone, especially the innocents, yet I don't leave your side because we three have been best friends since girlhood, so calm down right now or we will be in trouble and I don't want that.
Sarah: Agree.
Emma: close's her lipstick, dressed like those mean girls from head to toe, her nails done, hair done, makeup done, high heels with a dark red shrug, everything ideal. She wobbled her eyes, which could not be seen clearly under her dark black hair.
She swiftly took her purse and left, smashing the bathroom door. ahh, this girl is getting on my nerves day by day, said Triss.
Let's see what's cooking in her mind now, Sarah replied and both left after Emma.
ELENAS POV
After leaving the bathroom, I rushed to the lecture hall and crouched, in the back seat, and started to mumble because Soliloquy is the best remedy and I guess that all you are left with after all.
it'd be OK. I have got to be strong like my mother ''It's the final semester, I have come this far. I will make it till end I repeated every positive word that could come into my mind and spit out my anger as they say ''the best fighter is never angry''.
I wiped my tears and sat back straight.
Emma, Sarah, and Triss were sitting in the cafeteria waiting for their lunch to arrive, though the only thing running through Emma's mind was the way Maria reacted. She couldn't accept her loss and was constantly thinking about a comeback.
Triss "it's time for our history class to get up, fast '' saying this Triss leaves as she repeated it all like a cardican .
She wanted to sit in the front seat with kai her boyfriend who she, admired a lot since grade 5. His body, style, personality, and his Korean looking cute face he was very famous throughout high school because of his looks.
A very charitable maths teacher arrives "good evening everyone," said Sir Ian
"Settle down and open your textbook page #201 today we are going to study calculus and you, Maria,
Start reading the rules.
Marias pov;
"Nah not again, when will this hapless fate stop getting a 6 on its dice, sure! I smiled at him emphatically and started reading.
Good evening, students. We welcome our newcomer
Maria sighed, the only good thing about this day, someone stopped me from getting embarrassed as I was crying earlier so my voice wasn't getting along with my usual tone, which was making, my uneasy and noticeable.
. He will be joining us from today. As you know, it's the second day of our final semester, said the principal. I could hear the girl's murmuring thrill. wooah! He can't be this hot. How can anyone be so stunning? Every girl is probably gonna faint any minute.
but I was devastated, not bothered enough to even look up, because who cares about getting an Architecture degree is the only thing I care about, so instead of getting crazy I was scrolling down f*******: because all I cared about was high school to end.
Sir Ian said "please introduce us to yourself Mr? what is your name
oh sure, well, hello everyone. My name is Sky and I'm 19 years old. I guess the same age as you all, moved into this city last week from Chicago have a Turkish background because my mother is from Turkey and my dad is from Chicago but sadly the only thing left for me now is my guitar. I am fond of music and I hope we get along well in future.
"Thank you'', Sky has a seat now said, sir Ian
chicago? I looked up at him. Her dad was from Chicago too. As I looked up, my eyes got stuck on Sky. no one can be this hot, 5/8 feet tall, silky brown hair, glittery shiny round eye's denim colored shirt with dark black pants, his sleeves cuffed up with very cherishable ash blue eyes his plus point which made him extremely notable.
I tried my best to take my eyes off him but he was walking towards me or was it my er mind that was glitching hey, hello miss can you move your bag if you don't mind because I fear sitting at front been a backbencher like you from the start Sky*chuckled
Yeah, sure I replied and moved my emo bag from the chair. by the way, while you were introducing yourself you mentioned something about Turkey I couldn't hear properly, so if you don't mind can I ask what were you saying about it?
I tried to question Sky but Sir Ian thud the marker on the table to make everyone quiet.
Okay, students, half of the lecture has already passed so let's just discuss today's presentation. who's group will be representing today? said Sir Ian Triss, Sarah, and Kai, are you three prepared or do you three have any other of your excuse ready today?
Sir asked them three
These background voices were colliding with my thoughts. My mind was chaotic, chaos in my mind was not letting me concentrate in class. Turkey? Dad? What if he never left us and all the things I've been told until now are all just misapprehensions mom made. I was continuously fighting with what I knew and what I wanted to hear.
I felt compression in my elbow but I was so much into my head that I completely lost focus.
are you alright? Miss umm what's your name? Sky asked me politely.
"Maria Maria I'm Maria Abigael"
you don't seem fine? Are you alright? he asked again, but I could not say anything. I did not want to
He was a total stranger, so I nodded my head and got up.
The bell rang. I don't know if you heard it or not.
Many were dismissed from class, while some of the classmates came to meet Sky, who was well-liked by his first impression. However, there was something which fascinated him about this school and his classmates, mostly about Maria.
For some reason, he wanted to know more about her and was looking for her in the crowd of students but she left tranquilized.
the classmates welcomed Sky adequately.
Sarah interrogates him and asks him if he would like to see the school building with her but he promises her for tomorrow and run outside.
Marias Pov;
After leaving the lecture, I go to the library near my school, like each day, where I spend my time before going home, ruminating on life, on questions which were not letting me sleep at night. It was more of a daily chorus. I need to go to work because it's a very tiring day ahead. Thinking of it makes me exhausted because, at the end of the day, I'm on my last legs and high school is just the first stage. but It will sure pay off in the end.
