That One Person

I looked at them. I was sitting at my usual place so I needed to turn back.

Mia walks like a fucking drama queen. She walks like she's the prettiest girl around here. I laughed, inside.

She walked with Lara and Talia. She walked in and put one hand on my desk and looked at me.

Oh, I thought. I'm not ready for her shit talks.

"Oh Samantha you're early. I wonder why." She smiled so creepily.

I was about to say something but Mr Murchison said, "She is here because she has something important to talk to me."

I was kinda glad because if he didn't I would've said something, something stupid.

She passed by me and sat on a empty table. She's, she is, damn I can't even say how awful she is.

I always hated her. She'd always use people and when they don't have any importance to her, she'd just dispose of them. I wonder when she'll dispose all of them.

I took my phone and earphones out. As usual. I wasn't particularly interested in what they say but I wanted to listen today.

"So Mia why are you here? Are you gonna have classes?" Mr Murchison asked her.

"Yes Mr Murchison. Though I have tutors in home but my mom said I should take classes here too." She smiled, not a smile. It's just weird to see her.

I thought, yeah you need more tutors anyway. Mia is the worst student in our group, well what was our group.

"Yeah okay. Now let's start the class." He opened his book and gave us some work.

I put the earphones and pretended that I'm listening to songs. I didn't even look at them. I kept on doing the work but they started talking.

"Mr Murchison has Samantha told you about anything?" Lara asked Mr Murchison.

"About what Lara? And even if she told me about her life I wouldn't have told you all." He was reading the books but he put his glasses down and looked at me and then them.

I saw him looking at me from the corner of my eyes. Well he made sure I'm not listening. I didn't stop writing.

"All of you are my students but because of your fights I wouldn't tell anyone about anything you guys tell me. And it's same for everyone." He put the glasses back on. "Do your work."

Mia literally rolled her eyes at him. Like what the hell. He's your teacher.

I thought maybe I should put some music. But they started talking between them.

"Miles told me that he started smoking." Talia told everyone. I didn't even bother looking at them.

"Well yeah, he told us he'd do something stupid. I really didn't hope he'd start smoking." Lara looked at me, "But well unlike someone who'd pretend to be the victim."

Yeah, yeah I'm the victim. I fucked him when he didn't want to and said I'm sorry because I was aroused. Oh hell yeah I'm the victim.

"Let's not talk about her anymore guys? She was always like this. If she needs someone she stays with them but if she doesn't need them anymore she throws them away." Mia waved with her hand and looked at me.

What? What is it that you're getting when you're looking at me? I'm so done with all this shit. I wish I could tell all of them. But, well, would that change their minds?

I looked at Mr Murchison. He's reading the books. But then they started again. They can't just shut their mouths.

"Well I heard she's gonna attend the English Fest. With all of her new friends." Lara said.

"Ahh she's friends with Ray. I never liked him." Talia said, she was making a face.

If I could I would've slapped them across their faces. But am I strong enough to face everything though?

"Why aren't you lot doing your works?" Mr Murchison looked at them. He was definitely annoyed.

I laughed, inside. Yeah that's the look they deserve.

As the class ended I ran downstairs. Not a second to waste. I don't want any of them to catch up to me.

I came downstairs and looked back. They weren't there. I took a deep breath and started walking.

It's a 5-6 minutes walk from my class to my home. I thought I could play some music because this road always stays empty. No worries about an accident.

Or what's the worse could happen if I die anyway?

I walked to home, listening to songs. Yeah, some songs give me comfort sometimes, to actually face stuffs. I don't know how, it's just, it feels nice.

I got home and flopped on my bed. Ahh, I'm so tired. It feels like listening to them drained all of my energy.

Only Sara was at home.

"Where's mom? She isn't home yet?" I asked her from my room, well we both stay together though.

"Nope. She went somewhere don't know where though." She was snacking on something.

I came to the living room. "What you eating?" And asked her.

"Chips. Wanna have some?" She patted on the sofa and told me to sit.

I sat there and grabbed some chips. She was watching TV. I wondered when does she even studies.

Sara will start middle school this year and I'll finish it this year. We are like four years apart. But she never tells me anything.

"How's school Sara?" I asked her while munching on the chips.

"I don't know. It's hard." I laughed when she said that. She looked at me like hey why you laughing?

"It's not that hard you know!" I was laughing and telling her.

"Yeah easy for you to tell who'll pass middle school in a few months." She took the bowl of chips from the middle and kept it to her.

I laughed. I don't usually talk with my family much. But, I really never hated anyone though.

"Hey give me the chips!" I yelled at her. She smirked and put her hand up and waved like a no.

I left the room and came to mine. I wonder who'll actually attend the fest form our class. Stephan, me and Ray are the people who'll probably join.

I thought maybe Robbie. High School students will come too. I wonder how they're like. Are they more matured? Or are they like us?

Some juniors and some seniors. Hmm, interesting. I can make good relations with them.

I saw the website for the fest. There are story writing, spelling bee and well there's this magazine thingy.

I put my phone down and laid for a bit. Thoughts hit my mind. I hate it.

I wondered, why does Mia acts like this? Oh yeah, she liked Miles. One time she told me that his ex tried to get back with her but Miles saved her. Ahhh little kids and their imaginations.

My phone's light popped up. I took it and well Ray texted me.

Ray: Ey-yo! Tomorrow's the day Ms Rosela will select students for the fest right? You're going right?

Me: Yeah yeah I'm going. But you shouldn't back out too.

I thought he'd reply in a funny way.

Ray: Well I'm not a pussy so yeah.

Which he did. I sent him a laughing emoji and he didn't reply much.

I put my phone down and thought how will the fest be.
