CHAPTER 1~ Fantasy

Ughh!!
It's stuck. My curler got stuck midway while curling rounds of my hair and i pulled down with a jerk causing immense pain in the scalp. I yelped. I hate curls but Jack, my 5 month old boyfriend loves it. I quickly applied the lip balm in the name of makeup. And also did my most important morning affirmation " you are beautiful" " you are strong" " you are not ugly, not at all "

I took a glance at the clock. Shit! Was all i could mutter. I am late again. I am late always. I quickly hung the bag on my shoulder which was half filled with books and half filled with paint boxes. Hurriedly, I pulled up the socks to my ankle, loosely tieing the sneakers. I stumble down the stairs atleast five times in a row.And i made my way out without paying attention to my mom or should I say step mom shouting behind my back. I called Jack to come and pick me up. I hopped on the bike. I was about to place my palm on his broad shoulders but i didn't. Things weren't normal between us.We were currently going through a rough patch. And i know for sure that he is eyeing out on other girl - Stella. I hate her. She stole two most precious things from me : My favourite name and my boyfriend. Both the things which i possibly could get but still i couldn't. My chain of curses and thoughts for Stella was broke when Jack almost jerked up his bike on the front gate of my arts college. I thanked him and made my way inside.

Even if things weren't going how i would want them to go still Jack always drops me to the college and than would go to his hostel.He loved bunking classes with his friends. So he could hardly be seen in the college. We both met here, in this college and our love bloomed here. Our love was sort of like a hidden art. And once it got spotlight everyone tried to recreate it. Everyone copied our love story. Which sadly kind off ended ours.

I went straight to students locker's lobby. I unlocked my locker not before brushing my fingers on the name sticker - Nyx. I swear i could spit on this name. N...y..x..ughh. So bad, So not so cliche. I placed my colour pallet into the locker which did had bunch of vibrant colours when i bought it yesterday but now it was all turned into a dark mush. I don't even know how the black paint smudged so much that it made every colour lose its shine. Nevermind, black was in my blood afterall that's what my name means. I almost closed my locker but than my attention was grabbed by the mirror which Jack gifted me the last month. It was broken. But how. No it's can't . It was just fine when i used it the last week to get a quick look on my hair. Than how did it got broken. It looked like someone punched it. Punched it so hard that it cracked from the exact centre. And there was a small dot of black in the centre from where it got cracked and spread the branches of broken glass slits across the surface.

I was about to touch when someone from behind dragged my bag. It made me stumbled forward causing the mirror to lay flat on ground shattering it into pieces the locker was shut.

"Hyy, Nyx...sorry Nyz...huh...what is your name.. such an baseless name with no true meaning. Just like you just a dark shadow lurking behind Jack."
Luna said baring her teeth.

“ Huh.. look at you, a stupid dumbass nerd. Wearing specs which is not even clean. Loose tshirt. With ... what no makeup. Poor soul. Don't you have one . Wait i could give you some so that you don't wander here looking like a bi"

Carra couldn't even complete when i screamed.

" Enough." Everyone stopped walking by and i was the centre of attraction.

" What do you want from me? What have i done to you? Why don't you just leave me alone?" I was about to cry but i still stood head strong determined to not to lose myself atleast today.

Carra, Julie and Luna always bullied me, made me do their work. I was kinda their slave. I am not that strong. I am an emotional person maybe that's why I lack friends who could be my back.

" Just complete this without any mistake. Last time Prof. Mark caught us. Becoz you wrote the spelling of the artist wrong".Luna said and throwed books on my face.

" Idiot." Julie spat." I still don't know how this Lil piece of shit got Jack by her side."

"He was my bestfriend, we were almost in a relationship i was about to propose him, but you....you bitch came in between - third wheeling."

Julie spoke anger dripping in her words.

"It's in the blood Julie. Her step mom stole her father by murdering her mom. Right?" Carra harshly rebuked.

I had nothing to say. I dashed down the looby with tears smeared on my face. But i could still hear them making fun of my name." Nyx....such a ugly name. Ugly faces gets ugly names."

I ran to bathroom and cried for what felt like whole twenty minutes. I washed up my tears and gulped down my pain. I looked up to the mirror. Was i really that ugly? I had oval face with blue eyes guarded by glasses.I did had a slight dark skin. And soft nose. I didn't know how to wear makeup and lip balm was to wiped off. I was ugly compared to all the other girls outside. I sighed. Why can't a clone can come and live in here on behalf of me. Where i could just disappear. I always thought on looking the mirror that someone was watching me from that side. But all i could find was a pair of eyes. My pair of eyes watching me back. I want another world. A better world. A happy world. A world which all was opposite of what i live in currently. What if a girl exactly like me comes and lives here. A girl from parallel universe.

Noooo. That's all just imagination. A fantasy. And fantasy never gets real. It's all just an endless illusion. A human made imagination of all good things. Which doesn't quite happen in reality. There was no escape for me from this world. From this life. I have to go through this. Go through this bad life.This traumatic life.

I snapped out of my thoughts when i heard the flushing of toilet from the last stall. It was time for my art class. And i had no intention of getting scolded by Ms. Beth again. I washed my face again and walked out with a deep breath and fake smile.

The girl on the last stall came out with a huge smirk and looked up at the mirror and than walked out.The mirror of college's bathroom broke and black colored liquid spread everywhere colouring the basin and tiles.

" I am coming for you " .............. A faint voice was heard.
