Chapter 4: High School

I had to go back,

Even I knew I couldn't keep up like this,

But I was scaried,

* * * * *

I was walking again,

Just like yesterday,

Shaking,

I walked half way to school this time,

I broke down again,

I remember,

I remembered,

Once again I laid on the floor,

Crying tears of hatred,

To whom?

I don't know.

Once again,

No one cared,

No one bothered with me,

Till a gentle voice reached me,

"You again," he said,

He was crouched down in front of me,

I looked up,

And backed away immediately,

Him again,

All that filled my mind was,

Someone help me,

I'm scared,

Scared,

Scared.

I felt dizzy,

All that filled my mind was,

I'm S-C-A-R-E-D,

I NEED TO GET OUT,

ESCAPE,

I was unconsious once more.

* * * * * *

I woke up in the school's infirmary room,

My mom was there,

She should have been at work,

She was talking to the nurse,

About me,

And what happened.

* * * * * *

"Rachael, you okay?" the nurse asked,

"Yes, thank you for taking care of me,"

"You should thank the boy who carried you here, hun,"

Who was it?

I racked my brain for an answer,

It was that boy,

I started to shake uncontrolably,

I'm scared.

* * * * * *

The next day,

I walked to school,

I was scared again,

But I pushed myself forward,

Little by little,

Step by step,

For my mother's sake,

Little did I know I was being watched,

Behind that cherry blossom tree,

There stood a boy.
