Chapter 12 Mean girls vs Me
She had enough of that burning sensation in her brain with some ridiculous bullies last summer. This winter should be better, but she wasn't sure about it, the heat is still on, and this bullying wasn't over yet, unfortunately, it looks like she has to spend her winter with a cold war between her and the mean girls, guess that serenity in her mind won't happen currently. She has to be prepared for any bad circumstances to take place.
Right after her class was over, she walked out of the classroom and went outside the school. After a few steps, someone deliberately tackles her ankles and once more she tumbled to the ground, this time her face hit the floor and leave her nose badly injured till it was bleeding out, the fresh blood sliding out from her nose down her mouth, her mouth tastes the metallic-like of the blood on her plump lips. She wipes it up then her eyes were staring at the fresh blood on her fingertips, the glass of teardrop in her eyes nearly slides out, but she wipes it off before she begins to cry and revealed her weakness in front of everyone. She was compiling her courage and getting back on her feet to fight back, but her hands were frozen and unable to move.
It looks like those mean girls are challenging her to crop up with the war, it reminds her back then when the first time she met Noah, it was exactly in the same situation as now. And Hannah is always the bitch who did the same thing in that period when she made Amber plunge herself into the ground, but this time was bad, she is badly injured.
"Ouch, what the hell!" ( Damn it hurts so bad )
"Welcome to hell, just to remind you that you're messing with the wrong person, and I won't let you slide away, well, it's just the beginning so be ready for what will come next, goodbye Cinderella" They were laughing and gone away with it without Amber successfully fights back.
She went to the washroom with pain and anger, she washed her face and wiped her blood. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and said:
"What a coward!" she called herself a coward and then screamed all her outrage.
"Why can't you do something, be brave, and fight them back, Amber, how could you be so Coward, Your name doesn't suit you at all, what a shame!"
The situation drives her stressed, she was talking to herself in the mirror. The meaning of her name is Fierce, a strong and brave girl but the fact is, she has been a coward since the first day, she refuses to fight back, she can't stand up for herself, and let them bully her for fun, unfortunately.
However, deep inside her heart, she whispered:
“I have to change as Emma told me a million times, I have to stop being a coward, I have to speak up and fight back if it is necessary, I can't just stay quiet and keep letting other people treat me so badly without even trying to fight back and defend myself, enough is enough, this time I won't let anybody treat me wrong ever again. Amber the fierce girl is born and I will fight anybody who will try to break me with boldness, just watch me rise, I mean it!”
She grabs a tissue and wipes her tears away, she glared at herself in the mirrors looking so fierce, guess someone was ready for revenge.
Step out of her comfort zone, she decided to take the challenges that might be giving her a hard time later on, however, whatever happened tomorrow, she give two hoots, all that she needed right now is just to let it all out and show the universe what is her purpose in life, and being a coward was never be the one.
She passes through the green garden that led to the person she was looking for, to pass her anger. And there she is standing in the middle of the garden field, she was talking with her friends about what she does to Amber earlier and laughing about it as if it was funny,
[ whoosh, whoosh ]
The wind was gusty as she walks and her hair blew in the wind, like a model catwalk with a wind-blow look. Her eyes focus on her target, Hannah Johnson.
She walk slowly behind her and then touches her back with the tip of her finger. And when she turns around,
Boom!
"Hi Queen, this is for you!"
One of her vital punches landed on her face,
Hannah SCREAM!
She fell to the ground and screamed out loud.
"What the f*%&, my nose you psychopath!"
She has never felt much better than this, and Hannah gets what she deserves, With the blissful smile of pearly white teeth and glistening eyes on her face, she feels relief after releasing all of her rage.
"You see barbie doll, how I destroy your plastic nose, would you like some more? be my guest, I won't fear you anymore, try me, you better watch out, 'cause this girl right here is on fire, one small touch I'll burn you, I'm not joking!”
“HOW DARE YOU!” Hannah shouted at her with her bulging eyes and her eyebrows rising up high.
“Well, safe it for next time, I've got no time for this, sayonara Queen!"
She walked away out of Hannah and her friend's sight, with her fullest satisfaction.
“Oh my God, Hannah, are okay?” Cleo grabbed her shoulder to check up on her leader,
“What do you think?”
“No your not, damn, your bleeding, does it hurt?”
“What kind of stupid question is that, of course, it does hurt!”
“Oh no Hannah, you need to see a doctor ASAP!”
“Was it look that bad?”
“Terribly”
“Oh, shit, that f@&$ bitch must pay the price for it, she is messing with the wrong girl, I'll swear to God, I'm gonna ruin her life so that she would beg me and kneeling on my feet, just see what I'm gonna do to her next, how miserable her life gonna be, watch me!”
She glared at Amber as she walked away out of her sight with her bulging eyes and rigid cords in her neck. This means war!
She went straight away to the hospital where Ethan was working. After an hour of travel on a bus, she finally reached her destination.
"Hi, sorry I'm late, I missed my bus so I'm waiting for another one"
"I clear my next schedule, there is someone who will handle him so it's alright”
“Ah thank God”
“Hey, what's up with your nose, are you alright?" he noticed her swollen nose that turns red,
"Umm yeah not really, my nose is bleeding and in pain after falling so badly at school"
"Oh, how, let me check"
"There is this mean girl at school who is always bullying me and this is what she did to me this time"
"Oh no, that's not good, the bully is not a good thing, I've had the same experience as you back in high school just because I'm a nerd, have no friends at all and my friend is only my book, That's why they call me a book worm, but I'm really smart so I jump two classes because I was so smart and I've finished four years of medical school and I got my MD degree. And right now I received another training through a residency for three years"
"Aha, that so cool, no wonder why you look so young, may I ask how old are you?"
“I'm twenty-one years old, I graduated last year, how old do you think I am?"
"Wow, I don't know thirty maybe, haha I'm just kidding maybe because you are the youngest surgeon that I've ever met"
"Are you certain?”
“Have no doubt about it”
“Thank you, anyway about your nose, it's not serious and does not require any special treatment or surgery, the cartilage is also fine nothing broken it's just a little bit of bleeding from the wall of your nose, luckily it's not that bad so you don't have to be worried about it"
"Oh thank God"
"But the only thing you should care about is your eyes please do not put on any eye makeup for at least until one week"
"Oh, not even eyeliner?"
"Not any kind of eye make-up, do not rub, and make sure your surrounding eye area is always clean"
"Alright doctor"
He took out his flashlight to see her eyes.
"Everything is normal, your vision will be completely normal and more stabilize around three to six months as long as you keep check-ups regularly"
"Alright, thank you so much"
“My pleasure”
Ring, Ring...
His phone is ringing, and he picks it up.
"Hold a sec”
“Sure, go ahead”
“Hello, yeah what's up, oh you're here, what happened, okay just wait, I'm coming okay" He is talking on the phone and he sounds so worried.
"Is everything alright?"
"Ah yeah, ya it's alright, my sister calls me she said that she needs me to help her, she told me that someone punched her nose and she's bleeding, what a coincidence, I mean like, I just treat your nose, and now my sister also has the same problem"
"Ah, sorry to hear that, I hope your sister is alright anyway how many sisters did you have?"
"Only one and she's the same as your age, I wonder which friend punches her face at school, it's crazy to see how wild people are nowadays and it's a girl who does violence to my only sister, unbelievable"
"Hold on, may I know your sister's name?"
"Why?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious"
"Her name is Hannah and she's the opposite of me, she's very popular Maybe you know her if you're using Instagram she's famous over there"
Did you think what I'm thinking right now? However, there are millions of girls out there named Hannah. she can't be her. That's what's going on in her mind right now.
"Oh cool, and may I know your full name?"
"Why?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious"
"Is it really important?"
"Yeah, I mean, no, it's alright if you couldn't tell me so much detail about yourself"
"Oh, Johnson"
"Who's Johnson?"
"My father, so my name is Ethan Johnson my dad owns this hospital, my mother has passed away and my sister is Hannah Johnson, is there any other question?"
Hearing a gospel out of his mouth, her eyes wide open shockingly, and she whispers in her mind;
“Holy Shit, I'm speechless right now, did I just punch his sister in the face and make her nose broken? Oh God, this is not possible, this can't be real. If it's really her, what a small world, I am dead right now!”
It's getting more interesting, there are more surprising things coming up, in the next chapter.
I'll see you there.
