Suicidal Girls

Part 3: Mind Tricks

I woke up late the next morning. My energy drained. I was late! I didn't bother to do my intense makeup. I got dressed grabbed my bag then ran out the house. I'd lost my appetite somehow. I arrived at school. As I walked through class, 23 faces stared at me. It made me feel uncomfortable. Skye eyed me suspiciously. So did Jerry. I caught Shaz's eye. I'll tell you about it later my look signified to her. She just nodded. Kaci stuck her thumb up at me. I smiled awkwardly and sat down, pretending this was another dreadful day. Ethan gave me a glance then rolled his eyes. He didn't look too happy. Jasmine and Josh were nattering amongst theirselves. I sighed deeply, and got my equipment out.

"So..." Whispered Shaz.

"Why you get here late?"

I looked at the board transfixed.

"I spent my entire night cutting." I replied quietly.

Shaz rolled her eyes. She couldn't say anything. She cut just as bad as me, but wasn't as suicidal. I lifted up my blazer sleeve to show her. She nodded admirably, then shook her head.

"Oh gosh," She said.

"We'll talk properly at break." She slumped in her seat, depressed. Normal Shaz. I buried my head into my hands. Today was going to be a long day...

It was eventually breaktime. I explained everything to her. She nodded her head. We were sitting with the group. Something about Skye's stare made me fidgety. Then eventually she spoke.

"I don't like negative attitude" She purred staring straight at me.

"Same" Agreed Jerry, also staring at me.

I felt like they were trying to get something past me. I started to have more odd thoughts than usual...
