(flashback continues...)-
The bell rang for the end of the school day. Students began to leave the school grounds in groups or pairs, or alone. I let out a loud yawn and stretched my arms, not realising that someone was standing beside me.
"Ah!" I screamed when I noticed a figure looming over my seat. The remaining students turned to look at me in fright and I gave them a sheepish smile. Standing beside me was Kai, the school idol prince, the school heartthrob, the one that everyone adores. Why is he standing here? Does he need something?
"You..." I heard him speak. His voice was low, but not that low, and quiet as if he's telling me a secret. "I need to speak with you outside." Without waiting for my reply, he strode out of the door with his bag slung across his back, expecting me to follow him.
I hurriedly gathered my things and nervously followed him. Girls on their way out of the school gave me looks, some even snickered. "Is she going to confess to him? Why is she following him" I heard them whisper among themselves. I chose to ignore them and ran up to Kai.
We eventually ended up at the spot where I had seen the "incident" occured. Omg! The incident! I had totally forgotten about it! Images of Kai and the girl making out came back to haunt me once again and I shut my eyes, hoping that they would disappear along with everything around me.
Kai suddenly stopped infront of me and turned around to face me. I opened my eyes when I no longer heard his footsteps and without any notice, he pulled me towards the wall and pushed me hard against it.
"Wh-what are you doing! Let me go!"I yelled as he grabbed my wrists and pushed them against the wall. I tried kicking him in the nuts, but he dodged my kick as if it were nothing. I kept struggling under his grip but he was too strong for me to do anything.
I looked up at his face and to my surprise, he was smiling. However it was not the smile of a gentle, loving prince, but the smile of a devil prince. His face leaned in close to mine until his lips were only a few centimetres away. I turned my head to the side and tightly closed my eyes. What is he going to do?
"Pretend you saw nothing today." He whispered softly. His tone was deadly and mischevious. I gulp nervously at his voice. "If I hear a peep out of you..." He trails off and places a hand on my thigh.
My eyes widened in horror at the sudden contact and I tried shaking his hand off me. However, his hand remained as it is and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't touch me!" I yelled at his face. He stared at me, his gaze unwavering despite the loud commotion I've caused. I returned his stare and for a moment, we stayed there, looking into each other's eyes.
The color of his eyes were crimson, I felt like hypnotized for a moment until...
He suddenly let go of me and stepped back, looking away as if he were embarrassed. I quickly used this chance to get away and ran all the way to the school gate. I didn't look back at all.
As soon as I made it out of the school, I slowed down my pace and began walking home. What just happened? Did Kai really threatened me just then? I thought back to what had happened today, from Kai's and the girl's make out session to his threat, how worse could my luck get?
The next day at school, I found a handwritten note hiding under my desk. It read:
Come meet me in the girls bathroom on the 3rd floor at the start of lunch, I have something to show you.
- Mira
Mira? Who is she? Never heard of her. I ripped the note up and threw it into the bin. But I'll go anyway, it might be something important.
As soon as I heard the bell for lunch, I make my way to the girls bathroom on the 3rd floor. Rumours says that someone died there in the past, so no one usually uses the toilets there. I pushed through the bathroom door and called out Mira's name.
"Mira? Are you here? It's me, Mia, the girl you called for." I say out loud upon entering the bathroom.
Everything was silent.
I begin searching through the cubicles, opening toilet doors one after another. "Mira..." My voice trails off when I reached the last cubicle. A pair of legs stuck out from under the toilet door. Burning with curiousity, I slowly pushed the toilet door open.
Sitting on the toilet seat was a girl, bruised all over and beatened up, unconcious.
I hurriedly ran to her side and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Mira? What happened?" After shaking her a few times, I removed the hair from her face to check if she was breathing.
It was the girl that made out with Kai yesterday.
I jumped back in shock and screamed. I screamed so loud that other students barged into the bathroom to see what has happened.
"Mia?" Said a classmate of mine when she saw me. "What happened? Are you ok-" She stopped mid sentence and I knew she had seen what I saw. We both stood there frozen while other girls came in behind us and also did the same.
"Mia..." She speaks again, slowly this time. "...what have you done?"
I look at her shockingly. "Excuse me?" I asked "What did you just say?" Did I hear that right? Is she accusing me for doing this to Mira? All eyes were on me now.
"I-it wasn't me!" I cried helplessly, looking at each of them in the eyes with a painful look. "I swear it wasn't! She called me here, look I even have proof!" I reached into my pocket, expecting to find the handwritten note until I remembered that I have torn it to pieces and disposed it. The girls were closing in on me now while two of them carried Mira out of the bathroom to the infirmary.
"No one was here except you and Mira." One of them said, "So it must've been you."
"Yea" said another, "No one comes here and you knew that, so you picked this place to beat her up."
"Plus we came as soon as we heard your fake scream, no one else entered or exited in that time."
Accusations upon accustions kept coming at me. If only Mira was concious, she could tell them the truth. But even so, she might've gotten amnesia from the bruises on her head. Aish! What am I going to do?
The girls then decided to take me to see the principal, dragging me along and surrounding me to make sure I couldn't escape. No matter how many times I told them it was a coincidence, they chose to ignore me.
We walked down the steps and I accidentally bumped into someone. I fell hard and landed on my butt.
"Hey watch it!" I looked up saw a group of boys glaring at me. Among them was Kai. He pushed towards me and let out a hand. His smile was as pure as a baby's laugh. "Are you okay?" He asked and pulled me up from the ground. His hand was rough and strong, I felt safe from holding it. "Sorry about that, I hope you are okay." He said, and returns to his position behind his group of friends.
"Ah..yes..." I replied weakly. Compared to what happened yesterday, he seems like a completely different person.
"Tch. What was that about? Keep moving." Said one of the girls as she gave me a painful shove. I snapped back into reality and continued my way down the stairs. I looked behind me to see Kai and his friends walking in the opposite direction.
And that's when I saw it.
The devil smile.
Kai was looking back at me as well, and I knew straightaway that he had done this. Of course...but no one will believe me if I said it was him.
I will never forget the smile he gave me. That sickening smile of a devil.
-( end of flashback, back to present on rooftop)-
And here I am after being a month of being suspended from school. People still remember me and hate me for what I've supposedly done, and I can't do anything about it. Mira's parents decided to move their daughter to a different school, afraid that I'll still be a threat to her.
I look up at the sky, hoping for better days to come.
