Melantha  

Seeing myself in the mirror for the last time, my platinum blonde hair let loose and my black T-shirt and ripped jeans. Those brown eyes which were empty and my lips waiting for me to smile which will never happen. I tip-toed downstairs not to catch anyone's attention but it didn't work. "Melantha" a voice came from behind me, I know exactly who it is. I turned around to see a woman in her late thirties. "Good morning" and though I didn't wanna reply, I did.

"Good morning, Aunt" I said in a low voice

"Are you going to school this early?"

I nodded.

"Wait for Lia to come"

"She'll go in the car" I replied in the same tone

"Have breakfast before you go"

"I'll have it in the cafeteria" I said even though I didn't want to

Aunt Amy frowned but didn't say anything. "I'll go then" I said and walked outside without saying a proper goodbye. 

While starting my bike, my gaze turned to a the pink car which was Lia's. I scoffed internally. How could she be so girly? I deeply gazed at the car but when I came back to my senses and found myself staring at the car, a slight shiver went through my spine. I quickly went out of there on my bike.

In the school, I was at the cafeteria. I took my plate and sat on my seat where no one dares to sit. I was eating calmly but I really felt uncomfortable when many peoples' eyes were on me. I turned to see them but they pretended like they were eating except for one table, they were continuously  looking at me without breaking the eye contact. I tried to ignore really really hard but I couldn't. Ugh! this is so uncomfortable. 

So, I went straight to their table "Stop looking at me.." I said with my same low voice and again went to my place without hearing the reply. But they still didn't stop looking at me. What was wrong with them?!? So I went straight to them, again.

"I said stop looking at me!" this time a little louder

"Why should we?" that girl answered

When I am angry or pissed off, I can't think what I am doing. I just do it!. That's why as soon as she said that, I took the glass of water which was on the table and poured it on her. The boy who was sitting with them stood up and pointing a finger on me. Seriously? Then he started yelling at me "You!! What did you just do?!! Are you crazy?!!?" I can't tolerate people especially while yelling at me. So I caught his hand twisted it. Now he was back-facing me and crying to stop. The girl who talked to me was still in shock by that water and others who were sitting on the table were gasping. "You can say that" I replied.

"And don't you dare look at me, touch me and most importantly yell at me!! Understood?" he was nodding continuously while biting his lower lip to suppress the pain. By now everyone in the cafeteria were gasping. I spotted Lia even she was gasping now who was enjoying talking to her friends a few minutes ago. She was glaring at me maybe cause I ruined her moment?

I finally came back to my senses and quickly left that boy's hand. Ugh! Again all the attention was on me!. I left from there due to all that attention and embarrassment.

Thank goodness that the cafeteria issue didn't go too far. I was in the class looking at the green grass outside the window when our teacher called for our attention.

"Okay students, we have a new student" she gestured the student to introduce himself

"Hey! I am Aaron and I am here on a scholarship, hope we all get along"

Everyone cheered but I on the other hand didn't even bother to take a look at him until the teacher asked him to sit with me. I looked at the teacher not even glancing at the boy "But ma'am it's my place" I said trying not to get attention from others.

"All other seats are occupied and only the seat beside you is empty" The teacher said

"Bu-" she didn't let me finish 

"Enough Melantha and Aaron go take your seat"

Aaron was taking steps slowly and because he didn't come in 10 seconds, I glanced at him. He had blue eyes and honey blonde hair. His outfit was casual. He was staring at me but this I didn't feel uncomfortable. He looked like someone, I've seen this face somewhere, He was someone familiar to me but I couldn't remember him. It was like I knew him since a long time. He was staring at me the same way I was staring at him. Maybe he remembered me or it was his first time seeing me.
