That Winter You Came (Completed)

episode 4

_"forgive me .. I was unjust to you" Rayan said.

It was a halfhearted apology actually, I guess he only apologized by courtesy .. Not that he really wanted my forgiveness.

Since this was the case, I smirked then just walked out of the classroom to the whole class's clear surprise.

Some girl commented before I closed the door while I'm getting out:

_"Nadia is seriously being a drama queen !.. He already apologized to her .. Why doesn't she just forget what happened and move on! .. Such a complicated girl!"

Another one added:

_" did you see how she looked at us! Like if we killed her mother or something! .. That girl is sure a psycho!"

I closed the door at those words, walked away and didn't look back..

highschool days are beautiful, sincesely so.. when I remember them after all the years I spent in life after them I find them beautiful despite the injustice I lived.

Nonetheless there's no denying highschool could be a nightmare for some of us, as it was in those days for me, I was miserable, but it's inevitable to encounter such people anyways, if I took everything to my heart at the time and in every dark moment of my life.. I might have had lost my sanity and fell to a darker pit.

But I didn't.. Thankfully.

Mid term.

February.

We had a gym class that day, And like in every single handball game, I was the last girl to be picked to join a team,
while playing my teammates seldom passed the ball to me, only when there was absolutely no option left but to throw the ball my general direction, it was their loss anyways, I'm not showing off but in middle school I was a very decent player, so good that teams actually fought to get me to join them..

But seeing how no one wanted my contribution, I had no heart to let my talent show out.

After the first game ended with our team losing since they pretty much played with one missing person, namely the me who no one wanted to interact with, I felt so irritated that I had to stay away from everyone not to fight with someone out of spite and deception, it's nerve wrecking in a way to lose in something I could easily excel at, anyways.. since we were having gym class in open air at the school yard, I walked as far as I could from everyone, which naturally meant that I had to reach the school fence, I leaned on the wall and kept watching the boys' game from there.

There was a long distance separating me from the handball ground, so I could hardly tell who from who when I watched them, I was still going through this struggle when a loud voice coming from up the fence's wall said enthusiastically:

_"Oy! .. it's you Nadia! Aren't you?!"

I lifted my eyes to see who was calling my name only to find "Badr Eddine chouli" hanging on the fence wall only few steps away from me, Half his body was hanging inside the highschool, The other half was out, despite being in such an embarrassing  position he still had the face to shamelessly call me and even smile pridefully.

I laughed so hard seeing him like that, he was still just like how I remember him from middle school.. the biggest troublemaker.

_" heey! .. You forgot me already?" He soon asked in a fake dramatic way making me laugh even more, then he inspected the yard where I was standing probably to check whether the school guard was around not to get caught.

I shook my head seeing how helpless this boy was, then replied:

_" even if I want to forget you Badro you'll find a way to push your annoying self back inside my head.. What are you doing hanging on a wall!!? Did you decide to become a monkey now?"
