Her Place (One-Shot)

Her Place

I've been looking for myself for years. I've been behind that mirror where anyone can laugh at. I've been myself but they cannot see. I'm just being me, but they can't understand.

"She's so ugly"

"Why does she need to transfer here?"

"She don't belong here"

Common talks around the campus. And yes, it's all about me. A nerdy looking ugly girl who transferred on this hell school of bullies.

"Oops, sorry miss" She apologize with a grin on her face. Chocolate syrup stained all over my white shirt. She didn't even bother to pick up the trash she left. It was not an accident. It was obviously intentional.

On the other hand, a group of girls are laughing in the corner. And some just didn't bother to help. I walked out of the scene.

Wherever I am, I have never been treated nicely. Because of this curse face, I'm being bullied.

"Hey, Carla!" Someone shouted. If I will rank myself, I can be the most famous student in this campus. Most famous bullied. And the reason why I'm taking all of it, is because I'm so weak. I'm so weak to fight, so weak to argue.

I walked faster and faster, but they didn't stop. They dragged me somewhere isolated.

"Why didn't you look when I called you Carla?" Pia asked. She was one of them. One of the Masters.

"I'm in a hurry" I muttered. But even if I explain myself, they won't even listen. So why ask right?

"Today is Jason's birthday" She pushed me downward that make me kneel. I heard footsteps coming. I held my head and see what's coming.

Jason.

"Happy birthday Jason" Kim greeted as she wrapped her arms around his.

"Today, we'll make you a human cake, as a gift" Another girl named Flit said in excitement. HUMAN CAKE? Before everything sink in, they started pouring ingredients on me.

Water, Flour, Egg, Vanilla, Colorings, Chocolates.... They were all over me. I'm a mess. I'm totally a mess, again.

I heard Jason clapped his hand when they've finished me as their masterpiece. I am in my stage of crying. I almost, but I hold it in. I stood up, and faced them. No words came out of my mind except this "Happy birthday Jason". I smiled

Then I ran. I ran where no one can see where no one can hear, where no one will bother. I can bear all their bullies. I can bear them all, just not in front of Jason. And of all people, why did he let them do it. He's my best friend. He's my only hope in this nothing world where I am hated. I am hated. I am hated.

Everything went black. I don't know why. There was nothingness after that flash of light, after that loud sound, after that hard hit in my head when I stumbled down that cement in the middle of that road. There was nothingness and in there I found, something that I've been looking.

This is where the sound of my heartbeat stopped; this is the place where I finally felt found.
