Until Death My Love (R18+)

CHAPTER 5 HEAVEN WHITE

 Monday morning at the school, I walked on the field and looking for my friend Sky. But, he’s not around. His teammates are practicing soccer and I cannot find him anywhere. I guess his late or absence, anyway, why would I think about him. I am now in the hallway and I saw some people are laughing. Why? Is there something that I do not know?     

 I was at my locker to put my jersey shirt and all books insides suddenly I notice that there is a white envelope in my locker. I got nervous because there is someone can open my locker, without my permission? I get the white envelope and opened it. “Nice bra.” It’s written. “What the hell?” I whispered.

 I tear the envelope and I was shocked that there are photos inside of it. It was me, who’s in the picture. It was me, wearing bra. It only captured the upper part of my body. “Oh my God.” My eyes become teary and I can feel the coldness in my body. I get the envelope and a picture inside my bag. So that no one can see them. I ran towards the comfort room and locked myself in the cubicle.

 My tears begun falling from my eyes, my body is getting colder and colder that I can feel the numbness. How someone can do this to me? I burst into tears and keep asking myself that “Why?” This is the first time that I make friends with them, and then, I didn’t expect this to happen. I put myself together, “Okay, Heaven. This is just one of your hindrances. You go out, go to your room. You can do it.” I said to myself.

 I breathed in and out to release my stress. I got out of the comfort room, and headed to my classroom. I walked inside silently; sit up straight and acts like nothing happen. I heard my classmates are whispering and laughing while holding their cell phones, and then one of my classmates approached me. “Hey Heaven um, I just wanted to say that your photos wearing a bra spread inside this classroom.”

 I looked at the back and saw my classmates staring, laughing, and pointing their hands at me. I need to be brave, I need to face this, and I will not show them that I am weak. I know as the time passes by, this photo of mine will gone and forgotten. “Yeah, thank you for telling me.” I replied. I breathed in and out again to calm myself.

 It’s lunch time and I decided to go to the cafeteria to take my lunch. I sat down on the chair and opened my lunch box, when I saw Sky walking towards me, he is smiling. I don’t know what to say, I am shy, you know, like, how can I face him in front of a lot people. He sat beside me, and then he put his lunch box on the table.

 “Hey, are you okay?” He asked me. Seriously? I think the photos are everywhere I know that he saw it. Now he showed up to ask me if I am okay? “Yeah, just, um ah, just…” I didn’t finish my line when Sky’s cell phone is ringing. Oh no, this is it, he is going to hate me forever. He doesn’t want to be my friends anymore.

 “Oh I got a message from a Campus Queen.” He opened the message and saw the picture. “Wait, what?” I saw his face expression. He was shocked and a little bit confused. I decided to leave, it is because of shame. But, he stops me; he holds my hand and commands me to sit down.  “I want to know the explanation from you.” His eyes look so serious that tell me that he will listen, that he is here for me and ready to listen.

 “That photo? Was taken while I am sleeping, I do not know who the hell, who took that.” The coldness in my voice that makes me cries in front of him. I know, I know, I should not cry, but, I cannot stop my tears from falling. “Did you report to the authority?” He sounds concerned. I feel comfort from him.

 “No, it doesn’t matter; it will only get worse if I do that.” I answered. I did not expect Sky’s hugging me. “Hey, don’t cry, I am here, it’s okay, I know it’s not your fault.” I can’t help it. I cried even harder, I just don’t what to do and say. Sky removed his arm, and then I saw Liza is walking at our table holding her phone.

 “Oh my god Heaven, Have you seen this photos?” Of course I saw it. I can’t even look her directly. She sat beside me, now I am in between Sky and Liza. “It’s okay dear.” I can’t believe Liza’s comforting me too. “I know the photos was taken in our house, but believe me that I can’t do that to you, I know our first met is bad, but, I am also a girl I can feel the pain if I were in your shoes.”

 “Hey! She is the nerdy girl from the photo!” “Nice post, it was so damn hot! But, the problem is your bra! I think you should remove it, it will give a good history in our campus!” I heard everybody is shouting at me, and all of the students are making fun with the picture. Rumors are everywhere.

 The classes are over I grab my bag, go the comfort room, change my uniform to jersey shirt, fix my hair and went to gym. As I am walking, I notice someone is following me and I heard a click shot from the camera, someone is taking a picture with me. I started to run to avoid it. I am now at the school gym.

 I saw Liza’s and Sky sitting on the chair, they both wave their hands; I wave back and saw their other hands are entwined. Oh, not surprise, at first, I knew Sky’s going to fall for her. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be with that girl. The rehearsal started, we do the stretching first and start playing. Because of my emotions, and stress, I can even hit the ball even harder to cope my anger.

 We are finished. I got out changing my clothes, when I heard someone is still following me. “Who’s there!?” I shouted. “If you will not stop, I will go to the authority and report you!” I looked back to see who is following me, but, I can’t see anybody, maybe, it is because I am exhausted today. I walked to the bus stop and got a ride from home.

 I lay down on my bed immediately after eating, I touched my head because it was a bit painful, I also felt my body warm as if I was going to have a fever. Maybe because I was tired and crying earlier in the cafeteria, it was good that someone comforted me, my two friends. I took the blanket to cover my whole body because the weather was cold.

 I would have gone to sleep when my mother came in and asked me how the school was. I said it was okay. I'm still hesitant whether to say what really happened or I'll just keep it to myself. I remember what she told me not to lie to her anymore. I took a deep breath and sat on the bed, while my mother took something inside the cabinet.

 “Mom ...” Do I really need to say? "What is that baby?" I suppressed my emotion because she might notice I was lying to her again. “Do you want to tell me something?” She asked again. I sighed, and decided not to say anything. “I got perfect score on the exam.” I told her, that is not a lie because it is true, I hid what really happened because I do not want to add to her thoughts, I know I can get through it.

 Yes, it is different to lie than to hide something. “Wow! You're great, I'm not surprised anymore, and you have really inherited from me.” Mama said, as she pulled something out of the cabinet, it was a small rectangular box. “Okay, guess what?” She approached me and sat down next to me. I was happy because I knew mama loved to surprise me.

 “Watches?” I answered her. “Watches? Are you sure?” I don't want to prolong it anymore so, I told her to open it. I was surprised because it was a brand new cell phone! “Wow! It is beautiful! Thank you so much.” I thank her. “It's important, so I bought it; I want to have communication with you at school, so I know where you are, what you are doing, or if you are going home.” I cried with joy and hugged him immediately.

 She wiped away my tears. “I love you mom.” I told him. “I love you too, sweetheart, as long as you promise me you will graduate, you will take care of yourself, okay?” She stared at me and smiled. “Yes mom, thank you so much.” My mother left me in the room to rest.
