CAGED

My life my rules~ROLEX

Luce...

The bell rang snapping me out of my daydream.

"Remember assignment is due this Friday"

Wait, what??

We have assignment??

I looked up only to find myself and the chemistry teacher packing up.

If I want to leave highschool this year, I might as well get all assignments done.

"I'm sorry ma'am. But which assignment are we talking about here?"

She stopped packing her bag and then stared at me.

"Weren't you in class?"

"I was. I just...erm... zoned out"

"Well you can zone out of this classroom and find out what the assignment is" said the lady giving me a cold stare and then returning back to her bag.

What is this b***h's problem?

Firstly, she didn't even acknowledge that I was a new student in her class and now she's acting like a b***h that has a cucumber sticking up her dog ass.

I seriously wanted to rip her head off but I held it all in.

Graduation is the goal.

"I'm sorry I zoned out, ma'am. I really got some stuff going up at home"

"Are you being molested?

"No"

"Good now stick your apology back into that face hole you call a mouth and go find the assignment. Mind you that assignment is 50% of your result so better put in your best in finding that assignment"

And with that she was gone.

I can't believe this.

I wasted twenty minutes of my time talking to a wall.

My next period is Lunch.

I might as well go make some friends if I wanted to leave highschool this year.

I didn't have my lunch money and my cramps were painless but were still there.

If I eat anything I'll throw up or probably end up multiplying the intensity of the cramps.

So I straightened my shoulders adjusted my back pack and was on my way to the cafeteria.

✓✓✓✓✓

Presently all the tables in the cafeteria were filled up as in three people to say the least were on each table.

How was I going to pull off the 'I'm alone and then a person walks up to me and asks to sit down and then we talk and then I ask for the assignment and then she helps me and then we're friends'

That's what always happens in all the highschool books and movies I've read and watch but nobody brought up a scenario where there is no single empty table in the cafeteria.

This is pathetic.

I might as well make myself comfortable on the floor.

Wow it's so shiny and comfy.

Obviously I'm not planting my jeans covered wonderful butt on this gruesome floor.

Only God in heaven knows what's been here.

I sighed and then spotted a table in the middle that had a girl who looked very nice in an off-shoulder gown and had a tattoo on her clavicle.

Make your move now, Luce.

Hell yeah, don't tell me twice.

I walked up to her and then she looked up at me.

"Hey I'm Luce" I said stretching my hand for a handshake.

This girl who I thought was nice stared at me like I had Corona virus and was probably exhibiting dead skin.

"You better leave before my boyfriend and my friends get here"

Great!

The person who I thought was a nice creature turned out to be an old granny p***y who has her panties in a twist.

I kept my hand back at my side.

"Well it was nice meeting you" I said before turning around about to take my leave when I came across another girl who was wearing a blue short turtle neck dress and had her feet covered in black wedge.

Her smoky eyes glared at me like I had stolen her boyfriend or perhaps her puppy.

"Get out and never look at us or even talk to us again in your miserable life, okay?"

I didn't say a word.

I just turned on my heel and left the Cafeteria.

Everybody was making snide comments and I could feel tears at the brink.

The teachers are just like their students.

I'll go through today.

Just like I went through those months of depression.

I checked my schedule. The words were blurry but I could still make the words out.

I had gym and then library.

Twenty minutes to lunch over.

I walked straight to the girl's bathroom.

Nobody was there.

I sat on the floor and that's when the tears began to flow.

I forgot how to breathe and tried using Doctor Merlin breathing technique but it wasn't working.

So I brought out my phone and kept her on speaker.

She answered on the first ring and immediately began to shout out instructions which I obediently followed.

My breathing was back to normal and then I told her everything that happened.

She promised to talk to my mom and then I was alone again.

My phone rang only to find mom on the caller ID.

"Sweet heart,come outside. We're going home" I heard mom say immediately I kept the phone to my ear.

I got up and practically ran out of that horrible school.

§§§§§§§§

It's been two weeks and trust me my therapy was going great.

Doctor Merlin abandoned her work in Florida and flew down here for my sake just to help me overcome my fear.

My fear of standing up to people.

My fear of trusting people although I haven't gotten over that fear yet.

All I had to do was to stand up to those I think needs it and she even taught me some Savage remarks she took from a guy called Cameron.

Apparently he had about ten therapist crying.

If only I could take lessons from him....

"Okay Luce, take care and call me if you need anything, okay?" Doctor Merlin said holding my shoulders.

"Yeah, sure" I said before hugging her.

I stood by the door and watch mom drive her to the airport.

Tomorrow I was going back to school.

Watch out highschoolers you have no idea what's coming your way.
