Freely Living Nightmare

Living in hell

"Class make sure that chapters 29 and 36 are read through by tomorrow. Im checking!" Said Ms Burns loudly while the smoke of a 1950 cigar pipe filled the room. The chalked letters on the bored were hardly noticable. the clouds were too grey for anyone to be happy. except those who had a reason to. I grabbed my books and walked out of class. The hall was full. Full of people who loved the idea of torture and homework. People who knocked you down if you didnt have the coolest clothes or hair. People who judged you when you wore baggy clothes and black eyeliner. Yep it was like living in hell. But it was my last year and then I was free.

"Hey! Ethan!" Garcia screamed and ran up to him. "Selfie?" She raised her arm and took a flashy selfie with him. Sometimes i wish i was her. Only becuase she was freinds with Ethan.

"Hey Bethiana?" She said laughing at me. They all looked at me and stared. Including Ethan.

"Terebithia." I said speaking up for a first.

"What? did you say something, to me?" She walked towards me.

"My name its Terebithia not Bethiana. And by the way I can talk to you if I want so dont put me down for trying." I walked off and brushed passed Garcia. I saw Ethan smirk, but knew it wasnt for me. The way his mouth curved when he smiled and his hair when it was longer would shine. He was perfect and that was the problem. A perfect boy for an imperfect girl. I walked too the bathroom where a whole heap of girls stood doing there makeup and what not.

"Hey its the Cutter." One girl yelled. everyone looked at me. See what i had to put up with. The stares. The glances. The laughs. The pointing. All at me. I hated it. I walked into a bathroom cubical closest to the window and jumped out. It was easy. I did it all the time. I ditched. Ditched the pain and the hurt. After all I did easily remove myself from any situtaion. I was walking towards the bus stop when I heard a voice yell my name.

"Thia?" No one but my family called me that but the voice sounded so unsure I kept walking. I put my earphones in and blasted some Mayday Parade. The next thing i know my earphones are being pulled back out of my ears and i am being turned around to face what i never thought I would in my life.

"Ethan?" I whispered. As I only ever had in my dreams and thoughts.

"Thia? I can call you that right? I was wondering um we have Chem together could i borrow your notes. If you have any?" He asked. Nervously I grabbed my bag and reached for my Chemistry notebook.

"Um yeah i take notes but I doubt they would be helpful, Um why me?" I added after a long pause.

"Why you what?"

"Why did you ask me when you could have asked your girlfriend garcia?" I asked again.

"Ha! She out of all people is NOT my girlfriend shes just some friend of mine. Im saving myself for someone special. Who knows maybe ive just met her?" He walked off and smiled. I felt light. I felt different. I felt alive. The world seemed to spin. everything seemed right. He didnt mean it I know it. He didnt like me I knew it. Two years. I thought to myself. Two years ive liked him and never would anyone think he would like me back. If he did... I dont know what id do. id stop cutting? Stop depression? Stop being so dull and start being my old self. My old self. The final bell rang for the last period and I walked back to school not wanting to ditch anymore...
