Stupid me!

I took off from school the next day because mom wanted me to take some rest and also the medication was making me sleepy. I stayed in bed sleeping the whole day, waking up to eat or to watch Netflix.

Mom and dad were checking on me making sure I didn't need anything. I just felt like an old lady too old to walk and do anything by herself. I laughed at my situation. It was not a big accident and I was not feeling pain in my legs and head anymore either.

The next day surprisingly I got up early only because I spent the whole previous day sleeping otherwise that miracle wouldn't have happened.

As usual, I took shower and got ready for school wearing black jeans, a black top with black boots.

Yeah, all black...

Black is my color...

I wear almost all colors with pinks, corals, and nudes my favorite but black is something you will see me wearing often.

I would not add the typical statement 'as black as my soul' because my soul is quite pink.

I mean like a rainbow with different colors.

I love the rainbow and all the colors. I believe in unicorns, fairies, and aliens. I think life is all rainbows and cupcakes; quoting vanellope.

Yeah, you guessed right!

I am a Disney fan who believes in magic and prince charming, not that I am looking for one. It's just that I believe in everything. It is a blessing to have an imaginary land where you can be anything you want.

I may sound childish but that's who I am.

Coming back I am dying to meet Sandi and Alex. They didn't visit me yesterday because I told them that I was too sleepy and wanted to rest. They wanted to come over but didn't argue.

I wanted some time alone to gather my thoughts and to shake off those creepy feelings of Devil's eyes which I failed miserably.

I wanted to see them again...

I was a little mad at him too. Didn't I deserve an apology even though it was my fault but still he was the one who hit me. But why am I even expecting things from someone I never met adding a fun fact seen too.

Stupid me!

I left my hairs open not wanting to tie them. I came downstairs slowly because my thighs were hurting a little from walking. Greeting mom and dad, I sat down at the table. They offered me to stay at home if I was not feeling well. I must say that happens rarely. But I assured them that I was fine and also I was bored at home lying down all day. I ate breakfast, kissed my parents goodbye, and left home.

It was a great feeling walking slowly in fresh morning air without running due to being late and getting hit by a car.

Soon Sandi showed up standing at her door waving at me and waiting for me to join. She lives two houses away from mine.

This almost happens every day, me running towards her house and she scolding me and telling me that she will leave without me next time but she never did and I know she never will.

She hugged me as I approached her.

"Are you feeling okay now?" she asked after pulling apart.

I must say Sandi is sensitive and starts worrying over little things like she is doing now when I am not that hurt.

"Yup, I am 101% efficient and working now," I said laughing.

She shoved me playfully and laughed too.

"Well how did this rare incident happen?" she was pointing towards me being early.

I told her about my precious day routine which consisted of ninety-eight percent of sleeping, excluding the part of a pair of eyes haunting me. It's not like I keep secrets from her. I didn't think it was a big deal and eventually, I would get over it.

We reached the gigantic gates of Crestview High and walked through the parking lot, getting occasional flirty looks from the players and glares from some popular bitches.

I am getting used to all this. I have been told a lot of times about how beautiful I am or how perfect curves I have got and the looks I get don't say otherwise. That has also called upon some uninvited jealousy and hate of sluts and bitches but who cares huh.

This is a high-school man. Without this spice it's boring. But one thing I can't stand not just to myself but to anyone else and that is bullying.

I observed Sandi was a little scared of all this. She is not used to this much attention nor does she know how to deal with drama and put people in her place. But I assured her that I will protect her no matter what.

She is my sister and I will not bear anyone laying a finger on her or they will have to live without it for the rest of their lives.

We met Alex in the parking lot waiting for us. I let my eyes wander a little longer hoping to catch a glimpse of those eyes just out of curiosity. I just wanna see what he looks like. But I didn't see him, not even Ravs. He promised to meet me at school.

"Oh my Bells, look at you how pale you look from all that loss of blood. Thank God I reached at time and saved you. What would I have done without you." I was interrupted by a dramatic Alex, pretending to be I don't know who and hugging me in a bone-crushing hug.

"Alexiii stop it," I said, shoving him "stop being such a girl."

"Why should I stop being myself and pretend what I am not? Us girls have to be strong and stay who we are. You told me this yourself." Alex said pretending to look surprised and offended.

But he looked like a cow throwing tantrums. A cute cow...I laughed at his childish behavior.

You must be wondering how a Cow looks like throwing tantrums. We had a pet cow in Australia who was my friend. Whenever I forgot to visit her she had this offended look on her big face the next day. I don't know why but Alex's offended face reminds me of hers though I never told him that. I chuckled slowly.

"Omigosh boy you are such a girl, we need to get you checked," Sandi said laughing and elbowing him.

Sandi's not a shy girl when she is around me and Alex.

"Then tell her to stop calling me Alexi. It makes me feel like a girl," he pouted, pointing an accusing finger at me.

"Never!" I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Okay fun aside, how are you Bells? You scared the shit out of me," he said worry prominent on his features.

"I am fineeee how many times do I have to say it."

"Who was that bastard who hit you? Just tell me his name. I will show him some manners." Alex said, his brotherly instincts kicking in.

He always treated me and Sandi as his sisters despite me being 'hella gorgeous' according to some people. I rarely get this kind of relationship from boys. I just love him so much.

"Oh leave it, Alexi, I told you before I don't know him, and more importantly it was my fault, not his. Also, they took me to the hospital so it's even." I said, trying to ease the tension.

"If he took you to hospital how you didn't know him?" he said, giving me a raised eyebrow look which he thinks makes him look curious but he looks funny to me.

"Oh not him, his friend," I replied to him and thanked God as our lockers arrived and I was saved from further interrogation. I know him, if he gets their names he will do something stupid and gets himself in trouble.

We parted our ways after getting our stuff from our lockers and saying goodbyes promising to meet at lunchtime. They had English and I had maths the subject I love the most.

Ahm, note the sarcasm!

I don't take the same subjects as them. We only have one class in common History which I am so grateful for otherwise I would have drowned in that boring history lectures and would have died of its weight crushing my fragile brain.

Well if you hear me, you will find me complaining about every single subject but still, I get an A in every class.

How? It's a secret!

Kidding!

It's just that I do my homework on time and prepare for every single test because I can't see the disappointed looks of my parents. Plus I am naturally blessed with a sharp mind so I don't need much effort in easy subjects except maths and history.

I endured the pain of maths lecture burning my ears and passed my time doodling, more like drawing a pair of eyes.

Yeah, those eyes!

I was interrupted by the bell and the rest of the classes went by pretty quickly. I came running into the cafeteria hoping to meet my friends. I always dramatically fall on them at lunch so that they can catch my crumbling soul which just endured a whole lot of agonizing lectures.

But I stopped dead in my tracks when something caught my eye. It took away all the playfulness of my mood and replaced it with simmering anger.

The sight in front of me reminded me of a similar sight years ago.

A pang of aching guilt also mixed up with my fury!
