You Are My Idol

Chapter VII

Great Harper gave my number to some one just to mock me, I thought to myself. I immediately erased the text and went to laydown a bit before dinner. After some time looking into my social media accounts and trying to erase all the bad comments my father enters my room.

-Layla, your mother told me you went to the hospital today can you explain me why?

-I don't know I went to sit next to the classroom waiting for the teacher and I started feeling bad. – I told him the only truth I could.

-You had a panic attack can you tell me why? Panic attacks don't just happen. – he was starting to sound angry.

-Dad, I swear, I don't know!

-Okay, this is going to mess your grades even more than what they are already. So, stop playing with your phone and do something well for the first time in your life and go study.

He left the room and slammed the door behind him. That hit me so hard. Wasn't I capable of doing anything? Was I so worthless as everyone said? Those thoughts went through my mind the rest of the day, I couldn't focus to study, and I didn't have appetite.

Next day, I arrived at school, and everyone gave me a weird look. I passed by Harper and was waiting for some comments, but she didn't open her mouth, that was strange.

The day was passing and in breaks I would just sit in the ground next to the classroom playing on my phone and hearing music. I had found this K-pop boyband that was amazing, and they were helping me dealing with all this I'm feeling through their music. They are called "X.Verse" they have seven members: Kim Sungbin, Min Sunwoo, Jeon Wonsuk, Kyung Chulsoo, Dong Jiyeon, Kwang Jaeho and Beom Taeyeon. My favorite one was their leader, Kim Sungbin, he was tall dark haired with fair skin, and the thing I loved most about him was his dimple smile.

While looking for a new K-drama to see (yes, I kind fell in live with the Korean culture) I noticed that someone was standing in front of me, I looked up and it was a girl. I have never seen her before, she was about my height, but she looked older than me, she had long blond hair, blue eyes and her skin was white as snow.

-Hi, Layla, right?

-Hi, yes and you are?

-My name is Thalia White, I'm in the last year of high school. – she said while trying to give me a smile.

-Okay, and what can I do for you? – I really didn't know why she was talking to me.

-Hm... may I sit next you?

I didn't had time to answer, she was already seated next to me.

-OMO! I already saw that one it is amazing, and let me tell you this, the main character is hot! – she said while pointing to my phone.

I was speechless, it was the first time in months that someone talked to me without mocking me or demanding something. And it was the first time that someone showed interest in K-dramas like me. The bell rang and interrupted us.

-I got to go to class now, but I meet you here at lunch, I really must talk to you so please wait for me.

Again, I didn't had time to answer before she left. Who was her and how does she know me? I guess I had to wait for the lunch break to know. But that remind me of other thing, reminded me of that text I got. Could it be she? No, that is impossible, someone like couldn't have anything to do with Harper, could she?

In class I didn't focus at all, like in the past months (did I told you I changed sits with Mateo? Yeah, apparently Lucy had a problem with me) so the class passed by, and before leaving I remembered that I had to wait for that girl. I waited outside the classroom, it passed 10 minutes already and she didn't appear. I thought to myself that I was mocked again, so I picked up my things to go eat when I saw a girl running towards me.

-I am so sorry our teacher can be a little bit enthusiastic about the class and takes some time to end it. Let's go eat? We can talk while eating.

I blinked sometimes looking at her, like she wasn't real, then I nodded my head, and we head of to the refectory. When we arrived there all my classmates were looking at me. I felt uncomfortable and she noticed.

-Just ignore them common.

-Why are you talking to me? And how? – I asked in fear while grabbing my lunch.

We sat at a table next to a window and she said:

-Why? Can't I?

-That's not what I meant. Of course you can but I was just... - I was so nervous that my words almost didn't get out right. Before I could finish the sentence, she burst into laughter.

-Hey calm down. I saw what was happening these days with you, and I felt so bad. Can you tell me what happen to make them be like that to you?

I looked at her and the tears filled my eyes.

-It's okay I don't judge you I promise. But I think that you have to get it all out to feel better.

This girl I just met, made me feel secure, so I started to tell her everything. She looked at me and listen everything until the end, unlike many people in the past months.
