Love: It Began with a Single Stare of Hatred

Who is Tormenting you?

Alice POV:

I walked around the school as I placed my hands behind my head. I clipped the necklace together as I brought my hand down. I stopped by the window and stood, not moving. I was in the hallway above the window. I closed my eyes as I listened the sounds around me. It was so loud. I heard the guitar playing for the girls as the girls were giggling. I could hear gossip on boys saying who was cute and who was not. I opened my eyes, groaning.

"This is not the-"

"And so, like-" My eyes flickered behind me as I turned around quickly. This was the voice. I ran around the corner and saw no body. I stood at the corner, confused. I walked down the corridor when my arm was pulled into a classroom. 

"Woah-" The girls walked out the classroom quickly as I landed on the floor, the door closed. The door was slammed shut as the room was pitch black. I heard laughing from outside.

"Serves her right for following me." I heard the voice cackle, laughing as the sound of her voice floated away. I banged on the door.

"Help!" I yelled. "I'm in here!" I yelled. I banged the door twice. "HELP!!!!" I screamed. I looked around the room and saw the room grow enormous. I felt myself getting smaller and smaller. "..H-Help.." I begged, voice growing small. Darkness. Darkness was coming and I was no good with darkness alone. I sank to the floor as I pulled my knees to my chest. I wrapped my arms around my knees as I buried my head in my arms. 

"Help.." I thought as I closed my eyes tightly. "Help.." I begged inside, over and over.

Axel POV:

I walked around the school as I looked for Alice.

"Where on earth is she?" I thought as I saw girls cackling away. "Must be idiots.." I thought as I turned. I walked down the garden road as I came to a stop from 3 girls. The middle one was fidgeting.

"Um.." the girl said, her voice rising.

"Do I know you?" I asked, straight up. I had no time to waste when I needed Alice.

"Um.. I'm Rize. (Pronounced Ree-Zeh)" Rize said. I looked at her, my eyes telling her to continue. "Okay.." she said, her voice rising higher.

"What do you need to tell me?" I asked. She looked a bit bothered.

"so.. I like you! Go out with me-"

"Sorry." I said. She looked at me, eyes shaking and looked watery. 

"Why?" She asked. I looked at her.

"I have a hobby to curse at myself and make sure I get hurt at times. I like to get myself yelled at by a certain person and I like to pretend that I am getting yelled at. I collect a lot of SM books and I like to act like a sadist. Sometimes like a masochist." I said, feeling a bit embarrassed at my lie. She looked frustrated yet confused. I began to walk. I could hear her friends saying that it wasn't true and that I was messing around.

"Wait!" She yelled. I turned to her. "I.. I will change myself to become the person you want!" She yelled, her hands balled and clutching her skirt.

I laughed silently under my breath as I smiled at her. The most gentlest smile I could make.

"Sorry." I said. "But that's no good. Not if it's not that person." I said. I watched tears stream down her eyes as I turned around. I lifted my hand up in the air. "Thanks though." I said as I heard her make a choke cry. I walked off as I felt relieved. 

"Getting rejected hurts a lot.." I thought as I made a small smile. "But.. Getting my feelings told to them.. It feels a bit better.." I walked into the school building as I wandered into the hall. I walked into the classroom and sat down. No Alice. I stood up and went to Leon.
