I love her.

DAY 20

"Emmy" the teacher calls my name. I stand up and walk to collect my result.

Heart beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I am afraid
To fall

Yup, this is the pre-result song for me. The lyrics go up with my conditions. Promises I made to my mother and  father.... Heart wanting to come out of the chest.

Ok ewwww. I did not just think of that.

Thanks brain for the most disturbing images.

"Well done Emmy." She smiles and pats my back.

In big words on the top of paper is written 20.

And I swear if I smile any wider, I will end up hurting my cheeks.

Looks like this year won't go that bad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"KATIE" I run up to hug her.

"Guess how much I scored?"

She grins, then squeals and hugs me tight.

"Wait how much did you score?" Ally asks me.

Oh god , why didn't I see her?

Ally is chubby, a little fat, pretty and short.

But she could be be intimidating.

I Don't want to show off. I don't want to say I got 20 because I know that it would not end well.

She would take this as a threat.

"I scored well" I say.

"Yeah, but how much?"

I sigh.

I could lie but it wouldn't cut the trouble because then she'll walk over me saying that she scored better.

"Twenty" I whisper.

She looks shocked, she turned around and exchanged a look with Megan and then leaves.

I can practically feel Megan's eyes digging holes through me.

She hates me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max has a reason to hate me. That is rumors.

He is being teased with my name.

And that annoys him.

I get him because people tease me too. But that doesn't mean I treat him like shit.

I am pretty sure me giving answers in class is not helping.

Throughout the school people think I am depressed, show off, crazy, desperate attention seeking bitch.

Those are not my words, the bitch who is not even In my class anymore said that all on my face.

Her name is Gabriella. Short , blond with light brown eyes and her 3 minions following her. She thinks she is cool and apparently a few others share the same views.

According to people I give answers in class to show off and to let others down.

And hence Megan Hates me.

In short, they are jealous and being sympathetic towards that depressed girl has costed me.

I think they hate me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How do you study?" the depressed girl asks me.

I can't say I don't.

I can't say I do.

God help me.

"I just revise everything taught as soon as I reach home."

"And you score so well?"

"Yeah... I Practice"

"That's how you know all the answers in class?"

"There are other people who know the answers too."

"But you don't let them answer." Says a male voice.

Max.

He is standing near me with a paper in his hand.

He gives me a disgusted look and walks away.

And I suddenly feel guilty and sad when suddenly the depressed girl sobs.

"Hey, are you alright?" I ask concerned, keeping aside all my feelings.

"Yeah, I just wish I could score better."

"You can, all you need is to be determined and focus."

"I want to die." she sobs more.

I really don't know what should I say to make her feel better.

"Quiting is never an option. That just shows how week you are. Cowards suicide. You need to get up and proove yourself worthy."

"I got 3 marks. I can't study" She sobs more.

Wait... just 3?

"Okay why can't you study?"

"I get distracted easily."

"Ok so remove the thing that distracts you, keep your goals straight, write them down somewhere and keep them in front of your eyes and then keep reminding yourself that you have to work to achieve them."

"You know what? I am just going to leave this school. I will run away and move in with my boyfriend. He lives in London and wanted me to move in with him so why not?"

She has a boyfriend?

He is ready to let her move in?

Why is she even depressed??

Is it weird that suddenly I am scared of her?

And is it bad that suddenly I feel guilty for ruining Max, Ally and Megan's life?

I suddenly feel it's all my fault....

Am I doing something wrong?
