In Frost

Chapter 6 The Past Starts to Crawl Back

The laughter, it just kept getting louder and louder. I stopped crying and darted towards the exit. I just wanted to get out of their. I didn't look up at anyone until I was far outside, I fell to the ground sobbing. How could they be so cruel? How?

I woke up sweating, I kept gasping, Then I ended up sobbing, what if that happened at prom? What if.... My thoughts went back so many years ago, back to when I was in Primary school... All of the girls that are going to prom were in my school. On the first day.

I was in a class with Chloe and her group, they had known each other since their mums were friends, Gwen and Izzy were also in my class and I had already made friends with them. We had to introduce ourselves to everyone.

When it was my turn, Chloe kept giggling at what I was saying, she tried keeping quiet, but I could hear her, I gave her a cold glare.

For weeks, she would make fun of me, I remember one time, we were doing art and I was painting a Butterfly, it was nearly finish, when I went away, I saw Chloe pour red paint all over it.

I was so upset. Finally, probably a week or two after it happened. I decided to confront Chloe once and for all.

I found her on the top of the monkey bars with her friends.

"Hey Chloe?" I called from the ground, she and her friends looked down on me. "What do you want?" She asked nastily. Her friends began laughing. I glare up at her. "I want to talk to you" I said confidently.

Slowly, she climbed down from the monkey bars. "What do you want, I'm busy" she said impatiently. I put my hands on my hips. "Why are you so mean to me?' I asked her, still glaring at her. "Mean?' She asked as is she had never heard the term before.

Then she let out a horrific laugh. Her friends begun laughing to. "Yes mean" I said crossly. "Because your a loser" she said nastily.

She an her friends went on laughing again. "Leave Sonya alone!" said two voices at the same time. I turned around, Izzy and Gwen were walking straight towards us. "Look, if it isn't Mrs Losers pathetic gang of losers" Chloe said nastily.

"What are you going to do?" Gwen and Izzy stood next to me, not showing any fear what so ever.

"We can tell on you? Gwen said, determined. Chloe laughed. "My mum's the leader of the parents club. And besides, you 3 don't want to be dibber dobbers, do you?" She said aggressively.

I looked across to Izzy and Gwen. They didn't look afraid "Were going to tell on you girls right now" Gwen said, I could see the anger in her eyes.

The 3 of us turned around and walked away. "They don't have the guts to tell" I heard Chloe say loudly. Of course, we told on them, she and her friends got into trouble.

Chloe's mum was furious, I heard she actually was planning to send us a fine. Luckily, this was just a rumour. A few weeks after woods, I was at my locker, getting out my recess, when I found a note on my bag.

THIS ISN'T OVER SONYA, I'M GONNA MAKE YOUR LIFE MISSRABLE it read in red bold letters.

I knew this was from Chloe, but for some reason, I didn't tell a teacher about this, maybe if I had... Chloe might stop bulling me, but then again, she would probably bully me even harder.

She's bullied me ever since then, who knew someone could hold a grudge for that long. Anyway, I got out of bed and went downstairs to get a drink. As I entered the kitchen, I slowly flicked the lights on, checking that no one was in their.

I opened one of the cabinets and went over to the sink to get some water.

I turned on the cold tap and placed the glass cup under the sink. I looked down at the sink, keeping my hands away from the tap water so that it doesn't freeze. When it was halfway full I turned the tap of and took a long sip.

"I don't want to go back to sleep" I said aloud. I took another sip, one after the other. Finally , my glass was empty, I placed the cup on the counter, then I left the kitchen, turning the light of as I did and went upstairs to my room.

I laid on my bed, looking up at the ceiling. My thoughts went back to Max and what he said earlier.

Maybe I should go with him... I blinked at the thought of it. I got out of bed and grabbed one of my books from my bookshelf and sat down on my bed to read it. I read it for a couple of hours.

When I finished, I looked at my alarm clock on my bedside table, it was 5:30 am. I was really tired. I got up, put the book back on the shelf and went back to lay on the bed again.

"What should I do now?" I asked quietly to myself. I begun thinking about Max again. I layed their for half an hour. At 6:00am, I went downstairs and had breakfast. Neither mum and dad were awake.

I opened the fridge and got out some milk. I went to one of the cupboard and grabbed some cereal. After I finished breakfast, I went back upstairs to go get changed.

I put on a light green long sleeved shirt and some jeans. I brushed my hair quickly and I braided my hair.

I went downstairs and found mum in the kitchen, making her breakfast. "Hey sweetie, you look tired" she said, sounding concerned. I yawned. "I didn't get much sleep last night" I said shrugging.

She nodded, sort of smiling. "Dad already left" mum said as she went back to making her breakfast. "Ok" I said as I went into the Living room. I was in their until 8:00am.

"Do you want me to drop you off at school?" mum asked as I turned off the TV. "Ok" I said.

We got to school at 8:15, usually, I walk to school but it takes me another 15 minutes to get their. "Bye mum" I said as I begun walking inside. "Bye Sonya" Mum replied.

As I walked into the Locker hallway, like yesterday and the day before people were staring at me. I walked as quickly as I could to my locker.

"Hey Sonya" I heard Gwen and Izzy call as I put my bag in my locker. I turned around and smiled. "Hey Izzy, hey Gwen" I said, still smiling. "So have you thought about it?" Gwen asked eagerly.

"Thought about what?" Izzy asked, confused. Gwen didn't tell her I thought. "That Max asked Sonya to prom and she has no idea if he should go with him or not" she explained. "What?" Izzy exclaimed excitedly. "Sonya, you should go!"

I sighed unhappily. "I don't know, what if Chloe planned this if I said no to Scott?" I asked then sadly.

"Sonya, he's the nicest, most hottest and the most cutest guy In this school, if not the world! He doesn't even like Chloe or Scott" Izzy exclaimed happily.

I chuckled at the thought of it. "look, he's right over their" Gwen said, pointing to a guy on the other side of the lockers, he was talking to some boys probably his age.

"Go talk to him" Izzy said, pushing me over towards him.

I nearly fell over onto the floor, but I managed to keep my balance. Shyly, I staggered towards him. "H-hey Max" I said quietly. He turned around and looked at me, he looked a bit surprised to see me. "Hey Sonya" he said with a smile.

He turned to his friends, "I'll talk to you later" he said. His friends looked at me strangely, then they walked away.

"So, what's up?" he asked, kind of shrugging. "I'm good" I said looking down at my feet. "So, have you thought about it?" he asked. I took a deep breath. I looked around the hallway, some people were pointing, I knew they were talking about us, but I didn't care, not anymore. "Yes... Yes, I'll go with you."
