Bitch behind the glasses

I cried all night.I was downhearted and dejected.I was pessimistic because my grandmother was always there to support me but now I'm all alone.

I decided to move to a new house because that's closer to my college and also because this house carries all kinds of memories of my grandmother and if I stay here,I'll not be able to move on and concentrate on my studies.I have to accept the truth and live with it.

I promised to myself that I'll always keep it as a secret cause I can't put someone's like in risk for my sake.

I want to live in peace but my fate has destined something else for me.And for sure something bad.I don't know why God hates me so much.In this humongous world why me?

"Dear are you okay?"I heard my mother gently knock on the door.Her voice sounded worried and concerned.

"Y-yes mom I-I'm fine"I replied after blowing my nose with a tissue and trying to sound normal.

She knew that I'm really affected after my grandmother's death because I was very close to her.

"Please, come down...won't you have dinner?"She called me out from the other side of the door.

I didn't answer her.I kept quiet.I covered my body under my blanket rubbing off my tears.

"Ok....goodnight"She heaved a deep sigh and left.I could still hear her footsteps getting fainter and fainter then gone.

I tried my best to sleep but the sound of my grandmother's laughter was filing my room. Every single moment l spent with her came flashing in my mind.I replayed them over and over again untill I slept.

-Next morning-

I got up with red and puffy eyes proving that I cried all night.

I got ready for my college.Well I HATE it there.Because I don't have any friends but I have a number of enemies.Actually bullies.

I don't make friends purposely because that will lead to a very bad ending.That's because..firstly my life is very complicated.If I get too close with someone it becomes hard for me to keep secrets.So it's easier if I don't have friends.

That's why I sit at one corner of the class room alone, quiet, lonely.That's how I like to be.

I grabbed my bag and went downstairs.

"Bye mom I'm goin' to school"I shouted after stepping out of my house.

"Won't you have breakfast?"She asked while leaning against the door in her apron and holding a spoon.

"No..I'm not hungry"That didn't really make sense because I didn't even have dinner last night but somehow I really wasn't hungry.

"Bye"I waved her goodbye and continued walking.

It took about 30 minutes to reach my college.

I went to my class and settled down only to realize that a group of girls were staring at me with cold eyes.Some were sitting on the table and others standing.There skirts were shorter than it should be and they looked at me with disgust.

I rolled my eyes and shifted my gaze outside the window.

Suddenly I flinched at the sound of a hand slamming on my desk.I looked up only to see it was Laura, the leader of the group and one of my enemies.

"Hello bitch, looks like someone cried last night"She started teasing me and laughed.Her other friends also started laughing.

I hated it.Every time I tried to ignore them they did this.They still don't know what I can do.I keep quiet only for their safety but today it's just too much.

"Listen Laura,I'm not feeling well today please leave me or you will be in trouble"I gave her a death stare and got up from my seat intending to leave.

"Oh!so this bitch behind the glasses is warning me?Huh!what does this bitch think of herself."

Yeah, that's what she calls me because I wear glasses.I hate it when she calls me that.

"Can you stop!?"I shouted at her.

With a smirk she pushed me which resulted me fall on the hard and cold floor.

Everyone was looking at us.No one daring to speak.They were whispering amongst each other.

I got up with anger boiling inside me.I faced her and raised my hand. Within a matter of seconds every single sound in the room stopped.All the whispering stopped.There was only one sound.

Sound of a slap.

I slapped her.With all my strength.It was as loud as a clap and it left a mark just under her left eye.It was the mark of my ring. Her left cheek became as red as a tomato and she staggered backwards finding a support to prevent her from falling.Her eyes were watery.

All her friends were standing like a statue astonished of what just happened.The whole class was quiet untill I broke the silence and walked towards the door.Giving her a last stare I spoke..

"Yes,I am a bitch behind the glasses."
