OFFERNAGE [EDITING]

Let Me Down Slowly

I feel a bit different with my new hairstyle. How I wish it's possible to change moods just like I changed my style.

I took a deep breath, strolling to the bus stop. The street is quiet as it is still early.
The sun is not fully out which makes it a perfect time to jog for those who loves jogging.

I can't get tired of inhaling the atmosphere with euphoria. I think that is what keeps me going throughout the day.

The bus drove straight to the last bus stop for me to start my journey to Bingham high.
The sun is beginning to rise as I walked into the school gate.

The scent of classroom flowed into my nostrils in the minute I entered. The air feels suffocating because the windows are closed.
Without relenting,I wave my bag back to my shoulders and headed to the rooftop.

There's a shade to barricade the sun,just by the door. A chair and desk designed under it.
I fling myself on the soft foamed chair,bringing out my earphones to listen to a song.

Or rather,Trevor's voice.

The least I can do is hear his voice In my head and probably daydream. I brought out my notebook to jot some lines that flowed through my head.

His voice drove me to sleep and to my dream world since it is the only way I can see and talk to him.

I woke up to the sun pecking my thigh,making me feel hot. I sluggishly check the time on my phone laying close to me.

9:30?

My eyes opened widely as I jumped up from the chair,cleaning my face and looking at the clouds. Did I sleep for that long?
At least it was worth it, I dreamt of Trevor coming to the rooftop to see me.

I tapped the button multiple times but the elevator refused to come up so I took the next option.
The stairs.

Sweating like crazy,I ran to my class which I am very sure is occupied by a teacher.
"Korah?". Mr Henry turn to see me standing by the door of my class,breathing heavily and soaked in sweats. My neatly hair turned to that on a three year old who doesn't know how to comb her hair.

"Where are you coming from?". He asks,finally getting attention from everyone in class.
"I..umm..I was at the-". I stammer.

"I don't tolerate late coming in my class and I'm pretty sure you know that". Mr Henry cut my off.
I nod slowly. I glance over to Trevor who looks perfectly fine, I should get over it soon.
I gulp and turn to leave the class. My legs ache from running so much which turns out to be of no good.

I look wretched and feel empty. Everything suddenly feels dark while I walk down the hall. Am I been punished for something?

***

It's been a rough and distractive week. I hope today been Monday welcome me with open hands.

The atmosphere is cool as I stroll down the street. A new nimbus clouds pillow the sky,sending a warning that it'll probably rain tonight.

I am still not able to sleep properly which makes me dizzy in class. I don't know how long it is going to last but I pray it does,fast.

Tatiana and Dawn are trying their best to make m happy and I appreciate their efforts. If anything, I would say I have amazing friends.

"Do you have to go to work today?". Dawn asked as we collected our lunch,heading to our special seat.
A seat we destined just for the three of us.
