Beyond The Bruises

chapter 10

I was soon lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice two people looking down on me sitting ,with them standing calling my name.

Hey! You deaf or something?.

Uh..oh.um I.. I'm sorry I didn't hear you . I said looking up at the two ladies staring at me with..... what's that look...I dunno what it is but I don't like it ...it makes me feel ashamed or lesser but why?

I said why are you weird? . I dunno who this is she has blonde hair dull green eyes and pale skin ...to be honest with those features she's still not...well pretty.

Stop staring creep . This one has black hair and grey eyes ...this one is pretty.

I I'm sorry what did you say ? I asked politely nervously playing with the pages on my book.

What the fuck is wrong with you I asked why you're weird !? She sounds angry plus her brows just scrunched up together.

I.. I'm sorry. I lowered my head down...how do I answer that question .

I don't understand how he's Sawyer's brother those have to be rumors like look at him. I looked up only to meet those piercing grey eyes ...icy just icy .

This is the bad side of having a popular sibling and being in Thier shadow through I chose to be in his it's much safer.

I looked down again it's best not to reply else I might anger them they seem angry enough with me breathing.

your brother is cool , hot , and smart . The blonde lady said .

Why is she saying this ...what did I do wrong.

Yeah but you ... you're just strange you always stay behind him like a useless puppy , you always speed walk in halls heck you bumped into me once remember my slap ?, and you just have this weird vibes and you're always alone .

i wasn't even thinking or rather hearing what they're saying...I dunno but I think I've developed this thing were If people say what you don't like you just shut them out ...like you wouldn't hear a thing they're saying just muffled voice.

The only thing I could think about is her icy grey eyes it suits her.

You have pretty eyes it's icy . I didn't know when that slipped out.

What the fuck . The girl with pretty eyes exclaimed with one raised eyebrow she wasn't angry this time...I think...she was surprised.

I.. I'm sorry ..forget I said that . I said with my cheeks heating up they probably wouldn't notice on my brown skin.

Thank you. She said she didn't smile through but she ...smiled I dunno but yeah.

What the hell! The blonde girl was getting more annoyed. That's so fucking creepy fucking pervert .

Now now missy just because he looked you and me up n down and complimented me only shouldn't make you want to whine like a child. This time she smiled...no that's a smirk ...I think.

The blonde girl just looked at her... friend , I think they're friends and just left after a huff.

The icy girl looked at me her expression fixed and dull.... she's mysterious.

People are talking Sawyer's brother... your brother Is popular, social , cool , nice and good looking . You're are good looking but the opposite of everything else.

I think she was returning a compliment to be nice .

Oh uh..I ..I dunno what To do about that . I thought I'd been invisible but I guess even Sawyer's Shadow is being observed.

Some people get that he's an extrovert while you introvert . That's not the problem the problem is your vibes. She said with narrowed eyes .

Her eyes are really pretty, I'm surprised I'm actually looking her in the eyes and I'm kinda comfortable with it.

What do you mean ? I asked genuinely confused.

You have this Shadow like shit around you .... it's weird and sad fix it . With that she flipped her raven dark silky hair and left.

i think she's not much of a talker but she talked a lot with me . What's her name? I thought.

I thought about what she said ..it might had sound rude and hurtful but it wasn't I guess she was trying to tell me to change and ...smile more be happy socialise cuz people think I'm weird.

I looked down to the grassy floor watching ants do Thier business.

I don't think I can change, I want to go back to how I was....but how and who was I ?.. can't remember the last time I genuinely laughed or felt happy...or felt me .

The bell just rang ,I sighed. I have math now.
