Wanderer's Lullaby

Chapter II :

"Hey, let's just have some pizza. C'mon, Agnes is new and we don't want to make her feel uncomfortable."

Thank you Sam!

"Yeah... I agree." Oh, at least Ashley joined in too. Sam turned in a crimson red color as he smiled. Oh, I guess we have lovebirds here.

"Jimminy Crickets..." I mumbled.

I dropped my handkerchief.

I reached for my silken handkerchief under the table, however, something caught my eyes.

Entwined hands!

I grabbed my handkerchief as I looked up to whose couple the hands belong to. Oh... It belongs to Christopher and Diane. Two couples in the group... So that leaves me and... Oh, no, no, no. I won't allow that. I won't. I-I really can't. Not after that stupid jerk who made me fall head-over-heels for him. Not after him who set me up just to have a big embarrassing moment. Not after that...

"Agnes!? Are you okay!? My god, why are you crying!? Answer me!!!" Diane was shaking me by the shoulders.

Wait... I'm crying?

My hands flew to my face as I wiped my tears away. Shit...

"It's nothing..." I smiled.

"You sure? 'Cause I don't think so." Drake speaks.

I nodded my head.

"Good. Now, have some pizza!" Diane cheered. I giggled, really, she makes me laugh.

I took a slice of pizza then I took a bite of it. Hawaiian! Yay! My favorite!

I looked at my new friends. I'm actually happy, you know. It's really hard to befriend in the past 3 years... Yet, how come people who have lost something important realizes the value of it than people who have it? Funny huh? Like, sad people knows the real value of happiness than others who claim to be happy their whole lives. I've experinced that. It opens your eyes, trust me.

I looked around me. New school, new friends, a new start. I smiled, it's such a long time.

As I was drinking my mango juice, my eyes laid on a group I wish I didn't.

"You've GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!"

-~-~-

"Agnes? What do you mean?" Ashley speaking.

I darted my eyes away from them. Why are they here? Have they followed me? But I have avoided them for 1 year! I thought I was free, a bird who was like freed from a cage! I thought they will leave me alone. Why are they here? Why? Have they come to bully me again? With their hurtful words and with their abuse? I'm not really scared... I'm more likely angry. Ugh!

"I... Um... Sorry guys. That was nothing." I told them.

I took a quick glance at them. They looked at me and to my surprise, they recognized me. Oh no...

"I-I need to go. Sorry!"

I started panicking as I noticed they stood up from their seats looking at me from time to time. I grabed my bag with a rush, my new group of friends asking me what's wrong. I need to get out of here, now! If I don't and stay here, I'll be a laughing stock of the whole campus. And yes, I know them too well.

I am not that far from the table until an arm pushed me from behind. I almost tripped, but I regained my balance so I didn't fell.

"Well, well, well! Look at what we have here! The little Agnes! How are you? How are those cuts? Still fresh?"

They took a hold of my arm and squeezed it. I yelped in pain.

"Please Bethany! Just leave me alone!" I screamed. She was shocked, for I didn't screamed at her before. But, she squeezed my arm tighter, causing me to become weak.

"So, the little bitch is fighting back now huh?" They laughed.

The whole cafeteria beame quiet.

Tears threaten to spill, but I held it back since I don't want to look weak anymore.

"Leave her alone!" Someone yelled. I looked up, thank goodness it just Drake. Oh.... Wait. NO!

Bethany looked at me then at Drake. She smirked. She looses her grip on me then approached him.

Ugh! I can't stop myself, I grabbed her from behind then pinned her to the wall.

Just keep reading if you wanna know more!
