Song: Agoraphobic By CORPSE
As I rush over to the hall, all the other year levels are in class, settling down for their first lesson. Its quiet outside, other than my quiet footsteps down the pavement. Different, but very welcome.
As I eventually get inside the building, everyone is getting seated, in rows by house. Loud shouts and yells echo through the hall, every single sound abusing my eardrums, as I try to find my seat.
People push past me, trying to find their seats, as others try to sneak in next to their friends, being told off by the staff watching.
Every touch feels like a deliberate hit, and my vision becomes hazy, as a teacher leads me to my seat, and i feel vulnerable, embarrassed, as i feel the thousands of eyes on me again.
The assembly starts, and i try to focus on what the principal is saying, but i can't seem to make out what she is talking about, the words becoming jumbled in my head, almost like an audible dyslexia.
This goes on for a while, as people start to whisper and chatter among themselves, and i can't help but think they are talking about me.
"It's that freak"
"What's its problem?"
Time becomes irrelevant to me, and before I know it, I hear the bell ring, and the principal dismisses us. All i hear from the principal as everyone gets up and leaves, chatting, is "Go to lesson 1"
When I finally manage to get outside, it starts to rain. All the other students start to complain, and pull out umbrellas. I like the rain. It helps me calm down.
Rain.
