Finally this chapter is going to be long (: Sorry for the short chapters before, this one is going to be my longest.
'Ouch! What are you doing?' I grumbled as I woke up from my daily afternoon naps.
I was surprised to meet a pair of green emerald eyes by whom else but Altessa; apparently, the former 'queen' after Rein graduated from crying with her fake tears. It was no surprise that it was her that had taken up that role, she had always been a snobbish, girly girl who loved to make others cry with her mean attitude and her brain which was probably the smaller than a mere pea. Rumors have it that her father humbly begged the principal to let her 'poor' and 'innocent' daughter attend this school. I've seen her dad once; he looked nothing like her, dressed in dirty, wrinkled shirts and scrapped shoes not to mention the formal way he speaks is beyond imaginable from a girl like her. It's a wonder how they're both related.
Now why would a girl like her need something from me?
I glanced furiously at her. Her eyes stared back and holding firmly onto the book she had slapped onto my head. I burst, I mean I've never been someone who holds back at times like these.
'What the hell are you doing? What makes you think you can disturb my peaceful naps when I'm in the middle of a good dream?'
The whole class turned their attention towards me.
Oops…I forgot we were still in the middle of class…
I blushed furiously and aimed my anger onto Altessa.
One of her eyebrows perked up and a fresh drawn smirk flashed across her face. My mind flashed back to the way I raged at them about the window incident. Oh she was going to get it again.
'Ahem… Fine? I trust that Altessa was a very nice person and wanted you to listen in class?'
I sighed at the lecture I was going to go through. I peered annoyed at the teacher. He too was looking at me with a book in his hands. Not again.
SMACK!
The next thing I knew, I was standing outside for 'disturbing the class' and 'being mean' to Altessa. Seriously, I have two devils waiting to torture me.
Sometimes I wish that the world would lunge into an everlasting darkness than slowly appearing in the form of mist, the light would seep from imaginary holes, made by the soft radiant sign of hope in peoples' hearts. The angels that nurture in my everyday lives: Rein, Shade and Bright. Alas, the antagonists emerges from the depths of despair and once again takes this small light in my daily life, and I find myself still standing in the corridor, punished by the devils a.k.a. Altessa and teacher.
Okay if you didn't get that fine. I live in a world where no one understands me. Great, maybe I should just disappear.
A few footsteps walk their way down the corridor. I spot the person that I least wanted to see me in this position. Shade! And Bright. I pretend that I'm just fiddling with my fingers and shuffle awkwardly while rooted firmly to the ground. I pretend that standing in hallways is a natural thing that everyone has to go through. Well if you're facing the teacher yes.
He notices me without fail and waves his arm at me. I smile weakly and shake myself from this pretence.
'Um hi…just doing what I always do,' I sweetly smile at them. Am I looking alright?
Upon hearing my words he looks at me in awe and quickly ignores me, totally neglecting my existence as he walks casually pass me.
Bright on the other hand, looks at me trying to perk a smile and a few words while all this is happening. I can see his mouth his moving, but I can't hear anything at all and his voice drowns in the background of my sadness.
And then the corridor is empty and silent once again.
I'm not a weak person but when it comes to the person who I like it's kind of hard to not be sad when they ignore you. I could feel my insides closing in and my soulful tears forming in my eyes.
Suddenly the door slides open, and a hand beckons me to come in. My saviour? Then I meet the smug look on Altessa's face and I quickly wipe my tears from my face. I'd never hear the end of it if she saw me crying.
Shortly after comes lunch and normally I would finally lift my face off my desk if it weren't for someone. A familiar voice calls from the classroom door. I bang my face onto my desk and feel its warmth as if it were my last few moments with it. It seems like it when that guy is in your classroom.
'What's wrong?'
I know this voice. It's Sophie and after this morning and the mean attitudes from the some people I'm not really brave enough to face another, so I keep my head firmly stuck to my desk.
Ah I shall never part from it.
I know she's feeling sympathetic you ever know, she could be in league with the new queen and I know I can easily avoid this one if I keep my head down. I breathe silently as her patience wears away and after a short shrug Sophie moves away from my desk.
THew. Threat avoided.
Without giving it a second thought, a lift my head, exhausted from keeping it down for song long.
Big mistake.
At that moment in time, Shade had his eyes wandering around me and found itself locked onto my eyes that had just flown into the picture. He's about to wave and say hi when he remembered what happened before. His face flushes red and his head turns sharply away from mine.
Too late to be ashamed of it now Shade. What's with the blush anyway? I'm the victim over here!
I find myself staring hard at him and after realising I too, avert my eyes from him. This could go on forever depending how long he was going to keep this up. I mean, I am stubborn in these fights like these. I remember once when I had this mini argument with Rein when we were kids that made us not talk for days! Well I'm the one who ignored her, she came running after me just a few hours later.
Bright's POV
I looked back and forth at the both of them. I couldn't understand why Shade had suddenly avoided Fine like that. Aren't they friends? I tried easing things up things a little with my million dollar smile, it works on girls….everyone except for Fine, should've known that. Obviously it didn't work.
After we had turned around the corner and that Fine wouldn't be able to hear this, I asked him the question which had been trying to escape for the past few moments: Why did you do that?
I looked for his reaction. His face had flushed red and paced himself by walking a little faster, picking up the speed. I grumbled at the diversion he had created from answering that question. I was about to ask again when he turned his face towards me. I stumbled at the action.
His face had turned serious and his eyes stared straight into mine. He pursed his lips together, clearly ready to throw a few words towards me.
'Didn't you think that that was weird? It wasn't like Fine to not act like herself and I hate how people do that after what I used to do with the popular act I lost after meeting her. Now I have another guy who shines his smile towards the girls. Nothing against it, but stop it won't you? I didn't want to do that to her, but she's gotta take it, she should've known..'
And that amazing speech crumbled into bits as he realised that he had lost it.
'Ah, I'm sorry; I don't know what happened…'
He shook his head in shame.
I drove what the past few moments into my head, not surprised that my brain couldn't take it much longer. Just from that incident, he had shown so much of his anger. I shook my head while I was still confused and excused myself to the infirmary.
It was just too much.
Fine's POV
I found myself escaping the classroom and finding refuge in the most comfortable place in the whole entire school; where the slackers hang out; where the sick lie for their mummies to pick them up. No way was I going to go back to the classroom, so I might as well come here, the infirmary.
I opened the door and was greeted with the nurse.
She smiled sweetly at me, clearly sick of all the people who came here with every reason but being sick. Nevertheless, I strided straight in and plunged headfirst into the soft bed covers.
I heard a few grumbles and faced myself with Bright who, too had gone into the bed, except this fellow was pale and diseased.
'WAH I'M SO SORRY' I cried.
The door opened again. Who was it? The heavy footsteps paced their way towards us and gasped in horror. I looked at what the surprise was for and was astonished to find that that guy always seemed to end up in the worst places at the wrong time.
Our eyes meet and quickly averted away. But this time, I could see why he did that. Bright had gone back to sleeping even though the door had opened. Good for him. He had left me with this guy. With this awkward silence piercing me, the nurse popped her head from her desk and kindly (but still stressed) asked me to leave but greeted Shade welcoming him in.
Normally I would've been annoyed but the nurse had actually done something good. I took one last glance at Shade (who of course averted) and walked out of the infirmary.
At this point in time, I told myself that I wouldn't be able to speak or face Shade. This wasn't going to last for days…oh Shade, this would go on for weeks. You've angered the wrong person.
It's up to me, to fix things up a bit.
My longest chapter ever with over 1500 words!
Yay!
Hope it wasn't too boring and met your expectations.. look forward to my other updates!
