During all the first lesson I was everyone's glance, it was such an unpleasant feeling that I couldn't even pay attention to the class but, because I knew they were talking about me in silence, others only looked for a few moments and ignored me, but it was a scary feeling. The worst thing was that blonde who wouldn't stop looking at me, she followed me every time I went to the next class but never tried to talk back, it seemed as if she were a ghost that follows me everywhere... in part, it reminds me of him.


(...)


All that torture would finally end when the bell rang for recess, I felt a great relief deep in my chest that I almost ran to the cafeteria, I didn't want to wait for him anymore, those guys just gave me goosebumps with their sinister looks; to be my first day you could say that it wasn't that bad but it wasn't that good either, it was like a hurricane of emotions and unknown people, I just wanted to have something for lunch, relax at a table alone and I don't know, if someone wants to talk to me then, you're welcome.


When I got to the school cafeteria, it only made things worse, everyone turned to look at me and again the whole school started with their whispers, whispers of me and their terrifying sights as if I had committed some crime around here... guess it's because of that redhead, maybe something is gonna happen to me and they don't wanna tell me. I went to the food counter, took a tray, grabbed what I wanted to eat, paid for it, and went to look for a table available, it was the least I wanted at that time, a moment of peace; Luckily for me, there were a few alone since some students weren't around and hadn't come yet even if it's recessed, so I took one that was as far away from the crowd as possible and finally sighed:

-this seems like hell itself- I thought, it was like a living hell, I'm not that antisocial but I know when people look at you in a way... intimidating, it's hard to speak, just like a nightmare and something already ate at your mind, that was what I felt at that moment while taking a bite of the chicken sandwich I chose for today:

-... you're not from around here, right? - I heard a female voice which was right near me and by the time I realized it, I noticed that it was that same blonde girl from the morning who was now by my side, sitting with me and with a gentle smile, wasn't she still in the room? I couldn't speak because I felt like I almost choked on the piece that was eating me, to which she tried to help me by giving me her apple juice, I just drank it with all my strength and sipped it quickly, for a little and I almost choked on a mustard chicken sandwich:

-You know? I couldn't help but look at you since you entered the classroom, you just come to Hurricane, or were you from another school? - I couldn't answer her due to my throat that was sore, that girl was strange but I think that what I see, she's just asocial; I cleared my throat, trying to take a deep breath so I could say something to him without choking on a sandwich once again:

-... the truth is that I don't even know, I just woke up in the hospital and went home-

-then you are from around here, who would say? Everyone was supposing that you were some exchange student because Foxy didn't beat you up-

-so that red-haired boy is some sort of bad guy- the girl laughed as if nothing, now I see that the red-haired boy is a school vandal, no wonder the surprised looks and murmurs, they thought things wrong and now I doubt I'll be able to tell them it's not what they think.

I'll be honest, as soon as that boy entered the classroom, I had my suspicions that he was someone I knew or something like that, but seeing the way he looked at us, how he behaved and how he acted, my doubts came in, I didn't want to confirm anything. I even talked to him but I didn't want him to be where there were people who would be able to tell him about my past; I had to wait the whole time until it was recess time to look for him but didn't expect him to run out of the room before everyone else so I just put my supplies away and went to look out for that weirdo, the new ones usually isolate themselves from the others on their first days, I don't even know the reasons, maybe fear, I guess?
