When Words Fail

Chapter 9

I was craving for silence. It's been days since I last tasted the beautiful pleasure of solitude.

After a minute or two, I decided to exit the room only to find Toni waiting for me outside.

So I was wrong. He did stayed behind to bug me.

He was leaning in the wall beside the door, he smiled at me when I got out. For the nth time I ignored him. When I noticed he's following me, I went to the nearby CR. I smirked when I saw the look in his face.

The cr was big, with 3 cubicles in it, the tiles were colored baby blue. In the center was a huge mirror. I haven't taken a close look at myself for the past months.

I took a closer look to my whole being. My hair was long that it almost reached my butt. Last month I had these super cheap hair color and started playing with my hair. I had this copper red highlights in my bangs and in the ends of my hair. It gives a slight shade to my dull world.

Then I noticed I lost weight. My cheeks that used to be full was clinging flat to my jaw. I grew dark circles around my eyes too. My grey eyes looked like black in dim light. My skin that used to be flushed with color became pale. Anyone who saw me last three years and will meet me today will think that I have Anorexia Nervosa. I'm not that super thin but compared to my old body, I changed a lot. And by 'a lot', I mean a lot lot.

I remember my lips to be the shade of fresh blood, but right now it has the color of dried pink rose. I rummaged my bag hopefully to find a lip balm, lip tint or whatever. I don't spend much time making myself presentable but I don't want anyone thinking I'm close to death.

Someone told me I played as a mermaid in a pre-school play. She told me I was the prettiest and the most adorable girl in my class back then. Long, wavy black hair, lively eyes, chubby cheeks, pink lips, and fair skin. She also told me that two boys vowed to be my husband when we grow up. I smirked at the idea. Maybe if those boys saw me right now, they would rather marry witches.

My thought was interrupted by loud irritating giggles that came from a bunch of girls who entered the CR. I noticed they were the mean girls from yesterday.

"Look who's here." The bitch said.

I rolled my eyes and made my way out. But before I reached the door, the bitch's minions drag me back further to the CR.

"Don't you dare walk out on me like that!" She shrieked. This girl has issues.

When I didn't speak, she lost her patience and shrieked again, "How dare you ignore me you little brat! Speak to me when I'm talking to you!"

"What are you, a god?" I finally spat at her.

Bam. I heard the sound of a hand meeting a face. She slapped me. Hard.

The impact was so great that I lost my balance, my face met the floor.

I stood up. "Is that all you can do?" I threatened her.

Maybe I was wrong, but I did not regret it.

She hit my head with her laptop and I heard a scream as I pass out.
