It's the day. It's my last day in 11th grade. To be honest, I'm loving every moment. Its been one of my hardest years even when it comes to academics.. To honor this last day, like every last day, we have a show. We prepared for this for a month. I'm hoping this goes well. It's a good long break before 12th starts. I can't handle the thought of that..
We changed into our costumes, it was agonizing.. I mean it. The makeup was heavy on my skin, not 1, not 2, but 3 layers of foundation. It was physically hurting my skin but it was all temporary, the only thought that kept me from itching my eye as we finished the costumes up. We had one hour left for our dance, we were called to eat food. On my way to the eating hall, a child behind me called
"Melanie!" She yelled, I checked up behind to see a girl who was from a different dance, her costume looked far more comfortable to me, she looked awfully pretty. Her eyes were round with pink eyeshadow, her lips had light pink lipstick. I hated that shade so much but it looked good on her. It was a shade made for certain people only. She was so sweet, her hair was curly in a pony tail. Her bangs stuck out but they were straight.. She was shorter than me, maybe 5'2..
"Your makeup spread a little bit, I think you should fix it before your dance." She said.
Embarrassing. And no goddamn person from my dance told that. Wow.
"Thank you for letting me know.. How do you know my name?"
"Aren't you Lia's Bestfriend? She told me a lot about you. We were classmates actually."
"Oh I see. No one from my dance really let me know about my makeup, might have scratched my face on accident."
"Haha, Its not spread much, But its noticeable when you come near."
"Oh, thankyou again! Are you on your way to eat?"
"Your welcome! Yes, I heard the food is good."
"Same. What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Felisha.. I'm in 10th grade right now."
"I see.. It was nice to meet you Felisha.. I'll see you in the eating hall."
I soon reached the dining hall. It was large with a sheet as the ceiling. It was the top floor so it would make sense.. The walls were old, a light shade of grey covered dark purple color, it was earlier purple but they painted over it. The paint was slowly wearing out.. The table were rusty, the chairs were brand new which was quite Weird. I sat on the table near to the entry. The crowd was slowly increasing. Soon enough, the hall was filled. The most colorful crowd I've ever seen.
I sat on one of the chairs, my legs were tired and so were my hands. I adjusted the costume to my liking and started eating. It was good food. I couldn't help but notice the hole in the sheet. It was pretty large. Why didn't they cover it up yet? What if it rained? I finished my meal, I was still hungry but it was almost time to leave.. As I was patiently waiting on my seat. I heard a loud sound. It felt like it occurred right beside my ear. The sound startled me. I closed my eyes tightly. Everyone was silenced for a millisecond. The sounds grew louder. I opened my eyes to see a girl sitting opposite to me. Blood was gushing out through the shoulder. Her costume was soaked in blood.
The crowd near to the entrance grew. No, not for entering, but to leave. Everyone screamed on their way to the door. My heart rate increased. She dropped to the floor and slowly closed her eyes. By the time I looked around, half the people weren't there. The crowd slowly decreased. I knew i had no time to leave. I don't want to be responsible for another life. I cant hold on to that guilt after hardly healing from another. I stood up and ran to her. I grabbed her hand and piggybacked downstairs. I was so tired. The number of stairs i went down made my legs soar. I couldn't handle it. By the time i reached, I screamed my heart out. A nurse ran to me and grabbed her from me. I sat there in the corner next to the medical room as ambulances started showing up.. The limited supply of medical supplies made me scared to death. She would die bleeding to death if she wasn't saved quick enough. I sat there with the straightest face. I was gathering what I just saw. I ran to see the girl getting carried away in an ambulance. The sight was horrible..
It couldn't get any worse.. Right?
