Electricity shot through my veins and out my fingertips. I bit down hard on my toungue trying not to scream. I felt likt i was being burned alive, it lasted forever pain never ceasing. Why wasn't i dead yet? if i truly was being burned alive i wouldve died already, right? I couldnt figure it out. I was sure that fire doesnt sting though, it just burns. Ontop of being burnt all over, my body felt like someone was slowly tearing a huge gash in my chest with a dull blade while pouring salt and lemon juice directly into the open wound.
The deathly burning and torturous sting clawed every cubic centemeter of my slightly chubby body. Then all of a sudden it all stopped. I opened my eyes thinking i was dead. I wasn't. A breathtakingly beautiful girl stood before me. Her charcoal hair whipped around her teal grey eyes like it had a mind of its own. I layed bewildered by her beauty. She was wearing all black, shading her completely but with a figure like she had, you couldnt help but show it off. Her eyes glowed unnaturally in the dim light of the sunset. When i looked at her she smiled. Had she been there the whole time? I felt my cheeks go red. I looked down at my body. Just as i thought, as always i was imperfect in every way. That was when i realized that i wasnt burnt. I looked perfectly fine. I looked back up toward her but something caught my eye. I stared to my right. There under that tree shaded by the gloom, was the most unbelievably handsome boy i had ever seen. He had kind of long black hair that shadowed his face slightly. I couldnt tear my eyes from him. He kept his eyes low, leaving me looking at his eyelids but they were the most gorgeous eyelids i had ever seen.
From the girls direction i heard
"ah, ah, ah, hands off girlie. He's mine"
i kept my eyes on him but i still flinched at the intensity of her voice. This amused her, she laughed darkly
"thats right girlie, you have every reason to be afraid of me".
I could tell that she was smiling from her tone. i felt a sight breeze, then warm breath. I jumped and looked at the breathtaking face just inches from mine. My breath came hard. She stood over me grinning. I hated being grinned at, i got tears in my eyes from anger. I tried to blink them away before the girl saw but it was too late. Her grin widened
"awwwwe poor baby"
false sympathy coated her words. She slapped me so hard it felt like i was hit in the head with a rock. My face got warm, the warmth traveled down the side o fmy face. She shouted at me
"you DONT stare at him!"
Her face couldve been etched in stone.
I kept most of my focus on her to not be slapped again. More tears made my vision blurry but i was careful to not look in the direction of the boy. My lip trembled, i bit down hard on it. Tasting my own blood makes my stomach churn. She moved her face a few centemetres closer to mine. Her eyes were so intense i thought she could see into my soul.
She snorted then lurched back to her standing positionlooking at the boy. She glanced at me and i dropped my eyes to my feet.
"Hunter, come here she's crying again!" i bit harder on my lip, more blood covering my toungue.
There was movement under the tree. I was careful to not look over towards the tree for fear that she would notice. The boy - Hunter- walked over and stood normally. The girl immediatly intertwined her body with his and had a long makeout session right infront of me. Her behaviour was unusual but not unfromiliar. She was making it clear that he was her territory and she is guarding it from me. i laughed slightly in my head. Like i could steal him from her. I thought. She being so beautiful and me being so pathetic and ugly. Why the hell would he leave her for me?
He wouldnt thats why. I thought harshly, but i knew it was true. And its truth hurt me almost as much as her hand did when it whipped across my face. I continued to think in this direction untill i realised that they had stopped kissing.
Hunter and the other girl were still intertwined though. Her arm was around his waist and his arm around her shoulders. I risked a look up.
