These Walls…
I sat at my table, my eyes locked to my book, but my mind wondered elsewhere. I was hoping, just praying that my teacher wouldn't call my name.
"Helen!" she called, making me sigh with relief. I knew I was going to be next and I dreaded it, I didn't hate Miss Hiriamku, it's just she always pronounced my name wrong, and the entire class would laugh, every time. No matter how many times I told her, she always got it wrong.
"Nameiay?" her soft old voice croaks. I stand up to the usual laughter and humiliation. The oak wood tables were lined in neat tight compact rows. In order to reach the door to go to Miss Hiriamku's interview, I have to pass everyone, including Kairi.
As I pass her she giggles, obviously going on about how the teacher got my name wrong and how she had to tell and remind everyone who ever existed. Her row of tables consisted of her friends: Selphie, who was incredibly hyper, Larxene, who was angry all the time, and Sora, who wasn't all that mean, he just obeyed Kairi like a dog, I'm sure he was crushing on her.
"Miss Hiriamku, I respect you, I really do, but my name is Nami-ne" I pronounced it with great care, as if it were a glass vase. She thought about it for a moment, before she tried to pronounce it again, but this time with even greater fail than before.
"Naymi-ay?"
I threw my head into the palm of my hands for what seemed to be the millionth time.
"Yes, Miss Hiriamku, my name is Naymiay" I rolled sarcastically, she smiled her lovely old lady smile before ushering my to the interview room for my English test.
After the test, the bell for lunch went I quickly dashed to gather my stuff before someone (Axel) decided to throw it across the room in a test of extreme stupidity. I got there in time to find everything was there and intact. I gathered my stuff and left for lunch as quick as I could.
"Look out, hater coming through!" shouts a high pitched girl. The hallways seem to clear in an instant, and those who do remain in the halls, by Kairi's Law, were going to get the crap beaten out of them by the girl with anger issues. They shake as I walk past them, behind me I can hear their voices filling the hallway again, bitching about what this girl did, or what happened at the sports game on the weekend. The usual stuff.
The further down the hall I go the more the carpet is ripped and the lockers beaten. People around me look scared, as if I shot someone in cold blood. My locker, as usual had some rude or insulting comments scrawled across it, as if it were a local attraction where people of any kind could write horrible things on my locker. But I ignore it, or try to show that it doesn't bother me.
I manage to escape the shouts and torture of the Locker Hallway, I walked across the Tech areas, the students were always overtime here, probably because they enjoyed it so much. For me though, I found no interest what-so-ever. I begin the process of taking small steps to scale the bank that lead to the plantations that the Agricultural Science students used for their "Studies on trees." It seemed to fascinating for me to even think twice about it.
Finally I reach where I like to be at school, the large oak tree that overshadows the plantation. The tree is old, and covered in marks and scratches from the students with lower intelligence. The branches start lower for an oak tree. Not that I know the facts or anything, it's just I see a lot of oak trees on our farm.
Yes that's right, try to contain your excitement please. And before you ask, No, it's overwhelmed with boringness. The extensively large farm is run by my Dad's company, Farming Networks or something. Basically, it's a lot of minor farming companies under his title. I stay in our 'Family Mansion' as most people in my class would describe it as. It's just a large house that my family live in, so yeah, a Mansion. My mum has been a bit on the fritz, she constantly keeps herself busy, whether its work related subjects, cleaning house or just cooking like there's no tomorrow, she has to do something to keep herself busy, otherwise, she spazzes out.
I pull myself up to the lowest branch with ease, seeming I had been doing this for two years, it's kinda a habit. Up here, to the north of where everyone is collected, it feels peaceful. Like I'm too far away for them to hurt me. I look out across the large school, Tech Rooms, Maths and Literature Blocks A-F, Science Corner, the Gymnasium and the well-aged Arts Department were all in my sights, like I was a Greek God, watching over all of the school. But of course, Greek Gods were meant to care for the people… well most of them at least. The wind picked up to a gentle breeze that tickled my soft, peachy cheeks. I rub the feeling of the wind off of my check, hoping it would stay away.
Every time I'm up here on this low hanging branch, it reminds me of the day I pounced on Hayner Derrio, let's just say he was an annoying little brat. This was two years ago, when Kairi, Selphie and Larxene were all friends, what a fool I was back then. He was on my back all day, asking me to out with him, and he wouldn't take no for an answer, which became annoying very quickly. I can remember asking Kairi for some help, but she sat her arse laughing at my misery. It was then I knew I was with the wrong people, of course, there were all these other hints which I ignored of course.
So, acting on instinct, I turned around and in the blink of an eye I had punched him to his feet, he was cowering on the ground like a baby, begging for mercy.
"Namine? What the hell?" Kairi blasted at me, in a full fit of shock and rage.
"He was annoying me!" I shouted back in defence. She glared at me like I had just made a huge mistake. No one ever spoke back to Kairi, and I can see why, no one should ever have to endure that piercing glare. I was silent for a moment, just a moment, before I rushed past her, probably knocking her down too. But that wasn't what was on my mind at the time, I just ran, across the two ovals where, for once, none of the boys were kicking a ball of some sorts. The cries and screams of local students became nothing more than a murmur as I reached the bank that connected the freshly planted tree plantation and the Sports Oval. Without thinking I dashed up the back, passing all the weak saplings without thinking twice. Now that I was exhausted, I fell to the ground that was covered by a large oak tree. Its vibrant green leaves were sorta soothing my anger, and its shade was cooling me down.
Now calm I walked to the base of the monstrously tall tree, the branches were sticking out very close to its base, I strolled towards the largest branch, and with a bit of struggle, managed to scale the branch. I laid my back on the tree and looked out towards the entire school, I was breath taken by how much I could see. Since then, every day, at every chance, I came this tree and looked out at the people scolded, insulted and hurt me, and smiled for them, knowing that they couldn't ever see this magnificent view was inspiring.
And after that everything was ok and everyone was happy.
Pfft, I wish. Since then, Kairi was always hostile towards me, and Hayner has become a darker character, I apologized to him for my wrong doing (with a little persuasion from the teachers) and he forgave me too. But that didn't change the fact that I had just ensured the rest of my days at Kingdom Heights School were gonna be painful.
That was until I got home, then it got even worse.
