Revolution

CHAPTER 15

Ciara

I am in a lush forest, the trees are scattered all over the place, I wear a white sleeveless dress and a braid on my right side of my hair, curiosity kills me and I walk through space.

In the distance I see a very bright light that whispers my name << Ciara, Ciara >> I am attracted by the low sound, I approach the light and try to touch it, when I put my hand on it I feel a face, it is Flavio's .

The light disappears giving way to the person of Flavio dressed in pants and shirt, all in white just like me.

- My beloved Ciara, come with me - he says extending his hand towards me, which I take and we begin to walk further into the forest.

We stop at the edge of a river and he says

- I don't know what stops you, but when it doesn't stop you, look for me - and he throws himself into the river, swimming away, moving away from me.

I wake up with heavy breathing and my head spinning, I gather strength and get out of bed, today is Monday and we have to get ready for school. Macy, Leícy, Patty and Abigail slept at home, I check the time and it is seven in the morning and with five girls we will be late.

- Girls, get up it's late! - I exclaim.

- Hmm .. you look like a sergeant - a sleepy Patty speaks.

- Five more minutes mom - Leícy speaks with the same tone of voice as our friend.

They leave me no choice

- Come on, come on, it's seven o'clock and we are five women, the bathroom today will suffer !!! - I scream unhinged.
When they get up and wake up, Abigail makes a plan.

Okay ladies, Ciara, Patty and I stay tidying the bed while the twins wash, then Patty and I will go and finally Ciara. Any objections?

- No - we say in unison.

"Okay, come on," says Abigail.

We quickly tidy up my room, when the twins appear, we continue with the sequence, we take our backpacks and go down to the kitchen where we find Mom.

- Girls here I leave you breakfast, I must have left, I'm in a hurry, so I suppose you will take the bus - says my mother taking her coat and purse.

- You suppose well mom - I answer for all.

- Ah Ciara when you come back I must talk to you - says my mother at the door.

It's okay.

We left the house and with laughter we took the school bus, we arrived at the school and we looked for the boys. We are all gathered and we begin to talk, but something or rather someone causes interruption.

- Fifth sow! I was looking for you - Tatiana comes to us, fury with all her troops - because of you Steven finished with me, this you pay me.

It will not intimidate me.

- What makes you think it was for me? Don't you say that I am insignificant, a sow without a father that no one likes? - This chick thinks I'm easy.

- Do not talk to me since you arrived you have gotten into his eyes because you can not stand I occupy his mind! - He continues shouting but now he points to me, the scandal brought everyone's attention, which he takes advantage of - Hey everyone, do you want to know the truth about your new partner? There they go! This one you see here is nothing more than a hypocrite, her daddy abandoned her leaving them in ruin. Do you know why? Because it is so horrible that not even her father could bear it, yes friends, know who Ciara the pig is! - The subject of my father is sensitive to me, even today I wonder why he abandoned me but I am not going to remain silent, it is not the first time that I face these situations, I am a very strong woman.

You know ? It is true that my father's abandonment was a hard blow for me, but I knew how to face it, I understood that sometimes a marriage does not work and that is why they end up separating. Am I a hypocrite for smiling while hiding my problems? Of course, because life goes on Tatiana, she does not stop, smiling is one of the greatest pleasures in life, I am not the only one because at some point we all have to smile so as not to burden the other with our problems, for another side Why look for Steven if I have someone better? - I think it's the first time that I vent like this.

- Don't tell me, one of your group of Trampled? How cute ! Don't tell me that Rosalvo already declared !? The sow and the depressed How romantic! Do you know that he was in love with me? What did all the love images on the internet dedicate to me? You know ? - He exclaims and asks mockingly.

- Yes Tatiana, I know, just as I know that because of how harpy and unfortunate you are, you played with her feelings! But now, which of the two is hurt? But don't worry about your rejection, it came to my convenience - I'm liking to put her in her place.

Steven will never be for you - he says between clenched teeth.

- You can take it because I'll never be for him - and it's true.

Everyone expected a fight but I'm not one of those, the words sink deeper than the scratches and beatings, many of my classmates at the other school cut their skin and there was a friend who committed suicide, he took his mother's sleeping pills and they found him in his bed, dead. Just for being different you are already the object of murder weapon number one: bullying. I think we have all gone through that, whether it is because of our beliefs, height, our family, our friends, how we dress, we will be detested by someone and that is why they will exert bullying against us.

The bell rings and everyone disperses going to their respective classroom. Halfway through math class I raise my hand and the teacher gives me the opportunity.

Say Miss Contreras?

-  I can go to the bathroom ?.

- Of course.

I get up from my seat and take what is necessary, for minutes my stomach and lower back ache and feel uncomfortable warning the arrival of menstruation. I leave the classroom and walk to the bathroom, I go in, do my business and put on the sanitary napkin, when I leave the cubicle there is someone washing my face, I go over to wash my hands, the person next to me raises his face revealing white spots in her dark skin, Patty is paralyzed when she sees me and it is understandable, surely no one knows about her condition.
