High school

Chapter 6: Just the beginning

Jordan filled me in on everything that happened while I was out. Apparently we're not the ones who seen her. Matthew and Jessica seen her while they were "studying" in the library after school. Isaac seen her while in basketball practice and totally freaked out. I mean who wouldn't. And some girl Madison that I wasn't really familiar with seen her as well. Since we had a week off of school for the holiday. I had wait to the following week to get some answers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
November 27. Monday. First period.
I was walking through the school parking lot. Almost freezing my butt off. Once again this uniform wasn't really doing much. I had my navy blue skirt with my white shirt sleeves shirt, I was wearing a long sleeved sweater vest with knee high white socks and my gray Uggs. I guess I wasn't freezing but I was kinda chilly.
Back to school after the holidays always had the hallways loud. Since everyone is talking about how their holiday was. I was walking through the school door and I would've sworn when I did, eyes were staring at me. Watching my every move. Shit. I wasn't a fan of this attention at all. There's a difference between, people staring at me when I won a game, but being stared at by the whole school because they think you tried to kill yourself in the bathroom is way different. I nervously pulled on my long sleeved sweater making sure my bandages on my right wrist were covered. As I walking through the hallways. I noticed that there were posters on the wall.
"THERES ALWAYS SOMEONE YOU CAN TALK TO!"
"Don't make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings"
"If You Need Help, Get Help"
Suicide posters were plastered to the walls. And it annoyed the shit out of me. Where were these when Sam didn't have anyone. I was walking to me locker and felt eyes still on me. Where is my locker already. I heard people talking now, but I wished I didn't.
"I heard her and Sam used to best friends"
"She's been crazy ever since her mom died, she's just good at hiding it"
"She left Sam alone to get bullied"
"She cut her wrist, just like Sam.. best friend for life huh?"
I felt like I was gonna throw up. Shut up. I covered my ears and ran to the nearest bathroom. Thank God no one was in there. I looked in the mirror. I looked tired.
"You look stupid." She. She was there again. In the bathroom with me.
"Idiot." She was mocking me. I looked at her. She look different from the last time I saw her. She looked fresh and new. Her uniform was clean and neat. Her hair had soft curls in them. And her eyes.. had a spark in them. She step closer to me and I moved back. She giggled a little.
"Pathetic." She spat out. But I didn't care, I can't let her get that close again. It hurt like crazy before. I needed to get out. I turned to leave, as I was about to pull the door handle she pulled me back, but I wasn't weak. I fought back by pushing her off. I was on my back now, I was preparing to get up but she climbed on top of me. And glared at me. She pinned my hands above me head. She leaned in, inches away from my face.
"Let me show you something." She said as she place her forehead unto mine. At first I didn't feel anything but a few seconds I wished I couldn't feel anything. My chest was burning. I squeezed my eyes tightly together when I opened them to see what was going on.. I wasn't on the bathroom anymore. I was sitting in a chair, outside. Surrounded by.. my family members? I looked at them, some of them were crying. Others were hugging each other and some looked like they were in pain. We were all wearing black and there was a casket being lowered into the ground. No.. no.. she can't do that. But she did.. she took me back to my mother's funeral. My face felt wet and I felt familiar arms around me. Im crying. No correction, I was bawling my eyes out. And Jordan came out of nowhere and hugged me. I could hear myself now. I was practically screaming for my mom to get up. But she didn't. I shut my eyes again. And when I opened them I was back on the bathroom floor. Sam was now raising her forehead from mine. She released my hands but I couldn't move. She sat on me still though. Waiting for me to say something, when she realized I wouldn't, she leaned down to my left ear and said
"This is just the beginning." She spoke coldly. Just then the bell rang and she disappeared. I slowly got up. When I got up I glimpsed at myself in the mirror. I was hoping to see something that I really wanted to see. But it wasn't there. My eyes were dry, not one single tear had escaped. I was hoping she could've made me cry.
