SOMEONE*

Payback part 2

~SCARLET'S POV~

I ran out of the class. It was too much for today and I didn't wanted more of it. My vision was blurred because of the tears. I really didn't wanted to let it out. But it just happened. I walked fast out of the school. I didn't wanted anyone to see me like this. It really hurts.

I walked pass the school exit and thankfully the security wasn't there. I'm bunking school for the first and it turned out to be like this.

I was all alone and just when I thought if Emma was here, an arm was placed on my shoulder, pulling me that person. I was startled thinking that was the security.

"Where do you think you are going? If home then it's the opposite direction." I heard a familiar voice say. It's the person I wished to be with, Emma.

She was smiling and was avoiding any sort of expression that would make me sad. I just got to know that we were going towards the opposite direction. As I was out of my mind, I completely forgot.

I gave a small smile. "Well it's fine. Let's go to that ice cream parlor first. If we walk past the gate maybe the security might see us." She said before I could say anything.

We used to go to this ice cream parlor a lot of times. The owner whose a old lady remember us and gives us extra scoop. We go there after exams as a end of exhaustion.

We entered the parlor and Emma yelled,"darling, we are back!"

She ran and hugged us. She use to tease us for how thin we are by saying that hugging both of us was like hugging half a body.

She made us sit and yelled out,"the usual darling ice creams for my kids."

She loved us and would care us more than anyone. As my parents wasn't here and just used to visit me. She would make snacks or food for me and that used to make Emma jealous.

She saw my puffy eyes. She didn't ask me anything but yelled,"in one of them put one more scoop of chocolate icecream." To her staff inside.

When the icecream came, she gave me the bowl with the extra scoop. As we are her usual customers and the staff know us, She made a special bowl just for us. It's not even there in the menu.

She gave it to me and asked," tell me child, why are you crying? Is there anything I can do?" She asked me calmly.

Emma beside me, "she got extra scoop 'cause her eyes were puffy?! I can make my eyes puffy too." She sounded like a five-year-old kid.

We laughed, I didn't forget about what she asked me and I have to reply back but I tried to avoid it. I didn't have anything to say. It was all blank.

After having the ice cream, we paid and left back home.

I went back home. Emma kept on calling me and was giving me 'positive advices' well I must be annoyed by those but I was smiling every time she said one.

I got inside the house through the entrance and found Irien having the leftover pizza and watching some weird movie. Not 18+ 'cause that is not weird but this.

She lifted her hand and waved as a sign  to say 'welcome back' but in a tired way.

I went upstairs, I did want to cry but there was no use. I took out my phone. I planned not to even switch on my phone but then I got a text from Emma and I didn't want to ignore that. No one would if they were in my shoes.

It was a video from our side-school website.

The one where my videos were there. It a school website where all the students are there but kinda not a school website because no teachers or the principal know about this website.

Why would Emma send a video from the website when I am also there in it?

I played the video thinking what is there is it that is so important. And surprisingly it was hilarious.

It was a video of Emma pulling hairs and slapping those rats. I do remember  people recording something in their phone but that was when Jessica slapped me and Amanda pulled my hair. I thought there would be a video of the harassing me too.

I went to the website to see whether any videos of mine was there but there was none. But only of Jessica and her rats. There was a edit on them and a lot of memes were made out of it as well.

I couldn't help but laugh my ass out. I was laughing so badly that my stomach hurts. My sister came running to my room thinking something else and finds me on the ground laughing.

I wanted to show her the video and the memes so she would join me but then she would see me standing there with tears in my eyes . I didn't want that to happen.

I got up and sat on the bed. I tried to stop laughing. I was kinda alright now. I texted Emma a laughing-out-loud emoji.

I went to have a peaceful sleep when I heard my neighbor breaking beer bottles and cheering as his favorite cricket team won the match. He was singing the cheering song he sings all the time they win.

I sang it with him as I felt like I've won something. I slept smiling that night.
