I am Dead

Anika Kabir

I shuffled awkwardly where I stood my hair a mess my bottom lip was practically whining as I bruised them up with how nervously I was chewing on it My hands shook gently as my eyes scanned the surroundings sense of nervousness washing all over me and making me hard to breathe I told my self not to do this I tried so hard to calm myself down I shook my head quickly trying to attempt a scornful look but I almost look like a puppy glaring with puppy eyes not threatening at all

I released a breathe reaching my hands out to push against the large steel doors that lead inside the university building My heart thundered in my chest as I was late thanks to my mom deciding to do yoga first thing in the morning and my dad finding enjoyment in acting like a grandpa despite his youthful age I haven't stepped in school as I was homeschool because of my social anxiety

My mom thought I have grown over my anxiety since I made a progress and stopped having occasional panic attacks I tried to convince them otherwise but when my dad caught me waving shyly at our neighbour Mrs. Sharma he rushed inside yelling at my mom that " baby was ready "

I anxiously adjust my hair and straighten my self looking around the surroundings I gasped silently as I took in the university I was struck at how large the interior was compared to the outside of the university The halls were vast and appeared endless and posters on the walls

I clutched my bags strap tightly swinging off my shoulder to zip it open to pull out my schedule Taking a peek on my schedule I had English first period my mood slightly brighten English was awesome I folded the paper and again keep in neatly in my bag I than began walking in the halls deeper to the main office I nervously struck my bottom lip I began to abuse the pink flesh again how can I find my class when the university is so big maybe I should stop at the main office for the map I shrugged my shoulders and walked timidly down the halls

My eyes widened as I paused in my step and began to tremble when I eyes catch the sound of what sounded like big steps of an elephant I breathing quicken as my heart raced things only worsen as many students was walking my way doors flung open and many students rushed inside and towards a specific destination I quietly stood there eyes closed as I willed myself not to panic I don't know what the heck was going on but this is definitely not a good sigh

I took a deep breath and my heart race against my chest with my eyes closed and my legs slightly shaking slowly the running I heard was stopped and I was able to stop my legs from shaking my eyes slowly opened When I heard a panting beside me I looked up to my right and saw a girl who was bend down her hands on her knees as she huffed the air out she looked out of breath from trying to catch up probably to wherever everyone is running to

Even bend down she looked taller than me but that would be no surprise as I am shorter than most standing 5'4 her hair was straight and curls in the end she was thin and her features was sharp

My staring feast ended when she popped her eyes open and stood to her full height Thought she was tall she looked 5'6 she looked over me and I squeaked aloud a blush crept on my cheeks as I looked everywhere but her

" What the hell your are standing here for ? " She said aloud her voice smooth and my eyes darted to the floor clutching the straps of my bag waiting to be pushed by her

" I...uhmm..I " I didn't finished what I was saying as she interrupted me

" Your missing the fight of century girl ! " She shrieked out in childish excitement and I looked up hesitantly her lips quirked up and eyes lit up as my anxiety calm down slowly

Before I could utter a word how ever my wrist was clasped and I was being dragged down the other way opposite to where I was going my eyes were wide and the girl she was far excited and didn't seem to pay attention to how she was dragging me
