The girl who flew

Chapter 4

JUST A TW FOR SELF HARM.

Monday came around quick.

6:45. Alarm. Kath got up and looked in the mirror. I have to do this. For Miss C.
She pulled her hoodie sleeve up. Inspecting her scars. This time she went harder and deeper, The lumps ran across her fingers. It relived her.

7:30. Blazer on, Bandages on. She wanted no one seeing. She had gone to eat breakfast. No food. "Mum we need food"
"Ok." She replied.
Kath thought to herself. Miss will be in school.
She pulled out her phone.

Miss. I've got up and got dressed, my scars are clean and bandaged. No food in the house. I have 50p. Might buy something on the way to school. Not sure yet. But i'm going to leave now so it gives me time to walk slow. I'm getting better.
Deep down Kath new she wasn't. She didn't want to concern anyone anymore.
Well done Kath. So proud, see you at lunch. Miss C

Kath felt her face lit up.
8:30. First bell. Kath hated form. She sat in the back corner, the only word she said "Here" for the register. No one looked at her, No one said Hi. No one asked where she was. But she liked it that way.
10:00. Break. After first period maths. She sat by herself outside. No food, just a book. Waiting for the bell. She had music next:
10:15. Period 2. Music. She got up. Hesitated. She couldn't, she couldn't see miss C. What happened if she hated me? Fighting the tears. She reminded her email. She got to the classroom. Late.
"Hi Kath, come sit down, you haven't missed much" She sat, Kath loved music, and english. She found these as a way to express herself.
11:15. "See you at lunch" Miss C yelled. She had science. But did not want to go. She sat in the toilets for an hour. No one came looking for her. Tears trickled down her face. Fighting the urge to cut. Her body starts to shake uncontrollably. "I need release. Release"
The Bell.
12:15. She got up, wiped her face. And headed to music. No one looked at her. No one smiled. No one asked where she was. Kath was in her own bubble. She liked it.
Reaching the music block, taking a deep breath in, knocked on the door. Miss C opened it.
"Kath! Hey come in, take a seat"
"Have you got food?" She asked.
"No."
"Take this" Placing a bag of crisps into Kath's hand.
"Thanks." Kath didn't touch them, instead said.
"No one cares about me, no one talks to me, i'm so lonely."
"Love. I know how hard it is. Ok, but i care. Ok? Unless I'm teaching i'll always talk to you"
Kath smiled
"Go on. Eat"
They sat in silence, Miss C tapping away.
1:00pm. The bell. P4. English. "what lesson do you have?"
"English"
"You like that don't you? Have fun"
"Bye"
CREATIVE WRITING. Kath's Favourite.
2:00. PE. "no. no" Kath said "i cant"
"Miss can i sit out?"
"Kath. You always sit out. No today love. Get dressed"
Kath went into the toilet. And put her PE kit on, but with a hoodie.
They're doing running.
"Kathy, won't you get hot"
"I'm fine miss"
3.00. She left school. Finally.
3:30. Her mum said "Hi. Kath we need to talk"

She's never said that before.
