Faded

Chapter Two

"Ariella Black!!" I snap out of my thoughts as soon as I hear my name being called by my literature teacher, Mr. William. Literature is one of my favorite subjects to be honest. It lets me express myself and my thoughts on how I feel about a lot of things: Poetry, drama and prose. I have always wanted to be a writer but I'm not good enough.

"Ariella can you air your thoughts on the word 'depression'." He asked while scratching his weird beard.

"Well sir, I feel depression is..... depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It's the fear of failure and no urge to do anything productive. It's wanting friends but wanting to be alone, and yet not wanting to be lonely. It's feeling everything at once then feeling paralyzingly numb. It makes you feel like you want to just disappear from the world, but in reality, you truly want to be found. Its sadness that does not have an explanation".

The rest of the class became silent as everyone thought about my words. Some gave me a look of pity and some judged me. I could see it in their eyes. Maybe I could read minds.

The bell signaled the end of the class and it was finally time for lunch. I usually eat in my literature class, with music on, away from the world. But they were having drama rehearsals there so I had to go to the cafeteria. I'm so hungry; I haven't eaten in almost two days. Mary didn't let me, she said I was overweight. Dumb berch. Yep, I don't swear.

I entered the cafeteria and as usual all eyes were on me. They must've heard about my literature class. Sigh. Why did I say it? I should've said I didn't know. I always bring all this upon myself.

I quickly grab a disgusting weird looking burger, fries with a coke and sit at an empty table near the trash can. I can see Paulina walking towards me and I know it's about to get ugly so I walk out of the cafeteria to eat in the toilet. She follows me and as I speed up my pace, I didn't notice I was entering into a dead end. why the fudge is this school so big ugh.

I'm cornered and I can't breathe. I drop my tray of food. My heart beats faster than usual and I feel like I'm about to pass out. She picks up my fries and dumps it on my head. She then steps on me with her weird heels and shoves the fries in my mouth while yelling "eat it fatty". I can tell that I am about to pass out. She finally grabs someone's drink and dumps it all over me but before everything turned black and hot, I see that new girl running towards me.Then I pass out.
