On Mondays

Third

I don't understand why the teachers say that I didn't come to school.

People keep asking me what I did and where I've been for the past one week. 

I was in school yesterday and they asked me the same questions. The teachers didn't let me go this time. 

For whatever reason, they took me to the principal who warned me against

The guy from yesterday, his name is Connor.

I realized that he's really cute.

He is in some of my classes and he noticed the commotion I always brought.

"So, what's your story," he asked me.

I was skipping class and sat in the auditorium which was empty, reading a book I found in the library during lunch 'The Fault in our Stars'.

"What story?" I asked him. "I don't know anything."

I started crying all over again. I was shocked that my tears hadn't finished.

I pulled my knees closer and cried into them.

I felt Connor's hand awkwardly rubbing my back.

"I'm sorry that I'm like this," I told him.

"Don't be."

"i don't know why you are being nice to me and not giving me weird looks and calling me freak or crazy, but we can't be friends. I'm too much burden."

"Mara. I never said I wanted to be friends with you-"

"Oh. This just got more embarrassing," I said.
I got up and picked up my book and left the auditorium.

------------------
When they asked me for my name, I went with Mara Toreno. I made it up on the spot. It's odd, I remember where I live, where the school is, my locker combination and the classes I have, but I don't remember my own name.

When I went to work, someone I didn't see yesterday was doing my shift.

"You didn't expect us to wait for you to show up after a whole week did you?" Mr.Warren told me when I asked him about my job.

Am I the only sane person in this city that still counts 24hours as one day and not one week?

He practically kicked me out of the building when I said that. In my defense, I didn't know I said it out loud.

I kept walking in and out of buildings again and I gave up when it was about seven o'clock.

I got lost and was sitting infront of a building when it started to rain.

I pulled up my hoodie and sat there in the rain. I tried to bring back my memories but they were all gone.

Along with my sanity.

"Mara!" I heard someone scream. It took some time to register that it was my name. I could hardly heard the person because of the loud noise of the rain.

"You'll kill yourself, come in here now!"

Death didn't sound so bad at the moment.

It was a guy from school. I didn't move, but he came out of his car and picked me up bridal style.

I didn't realize that I had passed out until I opened my eyes in a different room.

The walls were pink and the comforter was also pink and fluffy. The room looked neat and very expensive. There were posters of what looked like a band on the walls and a table with various gadgets arranged neatly on it. I was wearing different clothes and I felt very relaxed but a bit scared also.

I walked down stairs, taking in the whole house. They were filthy rich.

A group of guys were making noise playing video games downstairs when I walked in wearing a tank top which hugged my body because it wasn't exactly my size and a pair of shorts.

"Liam, are you aware of the fact that there is a smoking hot girl standing infront of the stairs?" one of the guys said and all the others turned except the one who is supposed to be Liam.

"Ha! I win," Liam said.

"Mara?" I saw Connor there. "What are you doing here?"

a/n okay, I have no idea how you feel after passing out.
