Hope

Chapter 3

Leigh's POV

The tight grip on my hair finally released.
I watched as the teacher made brisk long strides towards us.

"So answer my question!"

"Nothing really, sorry sir" the two said in chorus and walked away giving me a dirty look.

"Are you alright?" He asked with concern lacing his voice.

"Yes sir, everything's fine" I replied with a forced smile.

The bell rings and with a grumbling stomach I make my way to the lockers.

I watched as the most popular guy in our school, Justin picking up Noah by the collar and slamming him against the locker. 

"Fight ! Fight ! Fight! " everyone surrounding them roared .

"What cha say faggot , up for a fight !?" Yelled Justin.

"No" replied Noah gasping for air.

"Oooooh the little girl is scared to fight"

They all cheered and laughed hard with no mercy and sympathy for the boy.

I ran outside the school clearly disgusted and didn't care if I missed the last two classes which was just sports and biology and drove home.

I reached home and knocked on the door to be greeted by my mom.

"Hello honey , how was school today?"

"It was good" I shrugged and walked upstairs . "call me when lunch is ready! I'm starving"

I entered my room. I have a small bed which is filled with stuff toys and pillows , a study table with a clattered mess ,a cupboard and a bookshelf filled with novels .

I picked up my favorite comfy kitty design pajamas and enter the bathroom. I turn on the shower and finally relax as the warm water hits my body . After the shower I change myself into the new clothes and rush to the kitchen as the aroma intoxicates me . My mom is definitely the best cook . She keeps trying out new recipes originated from other countries .

I help her by setting up the dinning table and fidget in my seat clearly in a hurry to gorge on the mouth watering mexico tacos .

I finish my lunch and crash on the bed sleep instantly taking over.

4 hours later

"Leigh ? Honey wake up it's nearly 7pm ."

I groaned "few more minutes"

"It's getting late and I need you go buy some groceries for dinner"

I get up and get ready lazily walking to my car and enter and speed off to the nearest shopping centre .

I wandered through the aisles picking up the items for mom and head to the checkout counter and pay for all the items . I walk outside towards the parking lot and spot Noah in front with a shopping bag . Remembering after what happened in school , I jog towards him and tap him on the shoulder .

In a sudden reflex he drops his bag and picks it up real fast and turns towards me.

My breath quickens . He was really good looking with sea rover blue eyes which looked soft , he carried an imperious nose well and his angular cheekbones carved down to a concrete jaw , he had soft chocolate brown hair which was neatly combed .

"Yes?" He asked

I stood transfixed , his voice was so warm and comforting . I mentally slap myself  . 'FOCUS Leigh FOCUS!'

"Oh..um  ...uh" I looked down fumbling my fingers  "don't let those mean bullies get to you..you're really nice and what they throw it your way is all trash and lies...

I finally look at him and see confused eyes and his lips twitches trying to smile but doesn't .

"Thank you...uh?"

"It's Leigh"

"Thank you Leigh" he replied in monotone and walked away , his back slowing fading away from me

I sigh and knowing I probably embarrassed myself and walk away to my car .

Little did Leigh know Noah was carrying a rope in the shopping bag .
Little did she know he was determined to end his life that night...
