The Essence Of A True Being

Two.

I opened my eyes early in the morning, fighting to stay awake. Several birds perched on my window sill, sending daggers with their beady dark eyes.

Dragging myself out of my warm bed and stared at myself in the full length mirror, disgusted by the image. Ignoring the horrendous thoughts swarming my mind, I drew on thick eyeliner and applied mascara. I threw on a white shirt, red flannel, dark jeans and brown combat boots. Taking one last look at myself I started the walk to the bus stop.

Climbing off of the bus, I walked straight into the boy I had seen earlier.

"Hey babe"

"Hi?" I said, questioning what had been said to me.

"Don't you remember me?"

"Yeah I guess so." After that I walked quickly away. It so happens that the same boy was in my first period, along with most of his friends. They were most of the problems in the class. I walked in and the first thing I saw was the boy from yesterday towering over a shorter girl with long blonde hair. Overhearing their conversation, I discovered that he acted with the same loving motion as he did to me. The villain began to scream, louder and louder that it was nothing special, he's only being nice because you're an outcast, a loser, a defect. Blinking back tears I quietly slipped into my seat. I had the overpowering feeling he saw me by the way he looked, his face said one thing, while his eyes said another. It seemed he felt sympathy but the second my mind flew, the villain broke it's wings and it collapsed to the choppy waters of a vast sea.

After the class ended he tried to catch up to me but I walked away, not wanting to fall for his deceiving eyes and his mouth full of white lies. Part of me prayed to every god in existence he wouldn't feel bad, like it was his fault, and the other part was happy I had left him behind, thinking I didn't need another painful memory.

I walked into the cafeteria and sat down with my friends and enemies. Following close behind me, my best friend lacy sat next me across from Hayley. Lacy noticed something was wrong immediately by the way my eyes frowned and dragged me into the bathroom. She forced me to tell her what it was and I gave in immediately, something I need to fix. I told her about the boy, Jackson, and began sobbing as I spoke. She hugged me and told me it was okay, why are all of my friends such liars? After the drama was over, we walked back to the cafeteria like nothing was wrong, while in   my wild spirit had been torn into pieces and caged in a small pen where the only thought was him, and it made me feel more broken than I was before.
