Powerful Elements

Chapter 4

~Adrianna's P.O.V~

I woke up feeling dizzy and tired, my cheeks salty from dry tears. Tears? Have I cried again? 

I remembered waking up in the middle of the night because of that nightmare but after two hours or so I had managed to fall asleep again. Looking at my clock, I stoop up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. The dizziness started fading away and I decided that taking a shower would probably be the best choice right now. I didn't really care about looks but hey? Who would want going to school all sweaty and stinky? 

I guess I showerd for a long time, longer than necessary because when I got out, the clock read 08:14. Oh shit, I've got about 10 minutes to get ready!

Choosing clothes, drying my hair, preparing my school backpack and schoollunch took way much more time than it should. But then again, I am slow, always was and always will be.

I sprinted down the street when I saw the bus coming towards "Kimberlystation", my station. I was out of breath when I finally took my seat next to the window in the empty bus. The only people sitting here were an old couple, a girl in my age and some punk boy wearing headphones. Through them screamed some really loud rock music, ew how can someone like listening to people screaming in their ears?  I preferred peaceful and realxing music. 

The girl who seemed to be in my age was reading a book, from her focused expression you could see that the book was really good. Her clothes were pretty basic. A white sweatshirt with "BREAK THE RULES" text printed on with big blue letters. Her jeans were black and she was wearing white converse. 

The old couple were wearing gray, both of them. They whispered to each other, held hands and giggled from time to time. Aw how cute. I came to think of my parents, were they sweet as sugar towards each other or were they always fighting and arguing over small stuff? I had always hoped to see my mother, but the only answer I got every time I had asked my dad where she is was 'she is gone sweety, now forget about this and focus on the present'.

Daddy, my present is based on my past. I can't go on wondering where my mother is. I have no one to lean on right now, no shoulder to cry on. What should I do..?

My eyes burned, my cheeks flushed and I felt like my heart had been splattered in pieces every time I looked at the loving couple before me. I turned my head to the window again and held myself from crying in the middle of the bus. I then took out my tangled earphones and put my music on shuffle. The first song was so accurate.

'Across the ocean, across the sea,

Starting to forget the way you look at me now

Over the mountains, across the sky,

Need to see your face, I need to look in your eyes

Through the storm and through the clouds

Bumps on the road and upside down 

Now I know it's hard, babe, 

to sleep at night

Don't you worry cause everything's gonna be alright, 

ai-ai-ai-aight Be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight'

I hoped that everything would be alright, I really hoped so. But I didn't know if it would, because both my parents had left me. I had nobody to call family anymore. I had no siblings, nor did I know anything about the rest of my family - cousins, aunts and uncles, did I even have any?

The bus came to a stop, from the window I could see that it was the same building I'd been seeing these past two months. I wasn't ready for school, I didn't know if I ever would be. No friends, no family and no apartment of my own, my life is not an easy one. 

The big brown building was surrounded by deep quietness. No laughing or arguing students carrying their books across the schoolyard. It looked so peaceful, but then again, I knew how it was in there. People got bullied and hated on. Some of them got hit by the popular groups of children and some of them got left alone to suffer against the depression and loneliness. 

I hurried down the street and got in the building, my homeroom period had already started 10 minutes ago. I quickly grabbed my stuff from the locker and was going to close it when a letter fell out and on the ground. I looked at it in confusion. 

' Hello again Adrianna,

I was wondering if you got my previous letter at the resturant you work at, if you did please smile at me the next time you see me. By that, I will know that you got the letter. 

Greetings, Kai. '

I rolled my eyes, he is an idiot if he thought that I would smile at him. This boy was really getting on my nerves. 

Annoyed, I put the paper back in the locker and quickly made my way to homeroom. 

As I stepped in the classroom everybody's heads shop up at my direction. They stared at me as if I had just murederd someone, had blood on my hands and a knife stuck in my stomach. Ugh, stop it or else I'm going to murder y'all. Thankfully the teacher didn't say anything about my late appearence and I quietly sat down in my usual spot. Through the entire homeroom I could feel Kai's eyes on me. It was slightly annoying but I beared it without giving him the slightest bit of attention.
