Her Royal Shyness

Ch 6- Death Grip

Yssa's POV

~Just a day, just an ordinary day.

Just trying to get by.

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy.

but he was looking to the sky.

As he asked if I would come along,

I started to realize

That everyday he find just what he's looking for.

Like a shooting star, he shines.~

This song describes him. He's a very bright creature... so bright that even my dark world was affected by his light.

I'm happy to be friends with him.

My impressions of him being arrogant, conceited, a jerk... is now gone.

Well except for the conceited part.

So... as usual, we walked to school together, talked about nonsense things and laughed because of our silliness.

He accompanied me until I reached my locker before saying goodbye.

I watched him disappear in the crowd before resuming my books in the locker.

Ugh. Heavy!

"So...little-miss-shy-girl knows how to flirt." Stacey snapped at me, just in time that I was about to close my locker.

Startled at the intensity of her voice. What did I do?

"W-what are you s-saying?" I stammer. Gosh. Why do I always do that?

"Don't play innocent on me." she said that while squeezing my wrists.

Ouch. Get your hands off me! I want to scream that to her face but I don't have the courage to do so.

"I-I didn't do anything to you." I almost cried at her hold on me. It hurts, shit it hurts.

"Shaun is mine. So stop messing around." she spoke slowly.

"I-Is he your boyfriend?" I had this urge to ask.

She suddenly released me.

"No, but he will be soon."

"Bye shy girl." she gave me a flying kiss.

She left with her cheerleader friends.

Stacey is the head cheerleader in this school.

Cliche. Never thought something like this happens in real life.

Oh great. Just great. (Note heavy sarcasm.)

My knees are shaking. Gosh! I can't even move.

"Hey Yssa!!!" Jess called me in a very cheery tone. I saw her happily walking towards me. But when she saw me at my current state, she frowned.

"What happened to you?" concern lacing her voice.

I can't even choke a sound.

I pointed to the direction where Stacey's walking with her friends.

"Oh, Gosh. Did Stacey mess with you?" she's angry.

"I'll kill that bitch!"

"No Jess. She just talked to me." I stopped her.

"I can't believe it. Don't you want to get back at her." she was fuming in anger.

"I'm okay Jess, don't worry about me." I said. I don't want her to be in a fight just because of me being a wuss.

She didn't talk, she just hugged me.

I'm glad she didn't push the issue, Jess by my side is all I need.

***

"What a pathetic girl." Jess exclaimed when I told them the whole 'StaceyWarning'.

Nathan and Marco were also all-ears on me. I'm just overwhelmed that these people, my friends really cares for me.

It's lunchbreak. The only time of the day that I'm able to be with these people, but right now... I just want to be alone.

I was about to get some food from the counter when suddenly I tripped.

I heard a roar of laughter coming from the witch's table.

I looked at them and saw that they were doing L signs with their fingers.

"Loser." Stacey coughed.

Dang. Another movielike scene. I'm so done with chick flicks.

If I can just fight back then I won't be bullied like this but I can't.

I really hate myself.

Why am I like this?

So weak... I'm so damn weak.
