MIRRORS.

Chapter 9

Chris' POV

The next day at school, I didn't see Kairo. I kinda figured that with how bad they beat her, but I still had a small pang of hope.

Makayla's been trying to talk and flirt with me all day. I've been ignoring her; hell, I've been ignoring everybody. The only person I wanna talk to is Kairo, but since she isn't here, I'm just gonna keep to myself.

I was on my way to my locker when I heard yelling and arguing. I looked over to where it was coming from and I saw this short, thick, lady. She looked hella familiar and pissed. She was yelling at our principal.

"What kind of fucking school is this!? How the hell do you have kids constantly going around bullying other students and not even fucking notice!? Because of your dumb ass, carelessness, my daughter tried to commit suicide!" she yelled then bursted out into tears.

"Ma'am, I'm deeply sorry... If we were aware we would've surely put a stop to it.... May I ask who your daughter is?" our principal said.

"Kairo Carter..." she sniffled.

My heart stopped beating.

I heard people gasp and other people saying 'Oh my gosh'. They fake as fuck....

That's why the woman looked so familiar! She was Kairo's mom and they looked just alike! I can't believe Kairo tried to kill herself.... Well, that explains my nightmare....

"And she left this note, explaining why she did it. You should be a-fucking-shamed, and if, God forbid, anything happens to my daughter, I'm suing the hell outta you!" Kairo's mom yelled.

Well damn....

"Ma'am I understand that you're upset, but please, calm down. May I.... Please see the note?" he asked.

She handed him a wrinkled piece of paper. It had blood stains on it, and I knew for a fact that it was Kairo's blood. That made me sick and I wanted to break down into tears.

He read the note and looked up at her.

"Mrs. Carter, I truly am sorry. We'll get to the bottom of this bullying situation immediately."

"You better!" she snarled then snatched the paper from his hand and left.

A while after she left, I decided that I was gonna leave school early to see Kairo. I couldn't even think straight, so I knew I wouldn't be able to pay attention in class anyways.

I walked outside to my car and got in, starting it up. I then drove to the hospital nearest to Kairo's house.

****

When I got there, I rushed to the reception counter and asked for Kairo.

"What room is Kairo Carter in?" I asked.

The receptionist looked up at me and perked up. She slightly fixed herself up and smiled a flirty smile. I mentally rolled my eyes.

"How may I help you, sir?" she asked flirtatiously. I really rolled my eyes then.

"I already told you what I wanted, what room is Kairo Carter in??" I asked impatiently.

She made a face, "You don't think you're too cute to have an attitude this bad?"

I huffed, "You don't think you're too young to have to wear a wig? Now please answer my question!"

Her eyes widened and her mouth was opened slightly in shock. She quickly adjusted her wig and turned towards the computer.
