Break me

School

School is fun for many, a place with a lot of friends and memories. Some sad and some happy but whether we like it or not this place shapes us and it will forever be a part of our lives.

School is heaven for some and their time in school will be the best time of their lives but it can be hell to some a place that will forever carry your nightmares and that is school for me.

I keep my head down as I find my way among the very many children. Someone knocked me hard making me drop my books. Bending down to pick them I realised it was one of the nerds.

Most schools have social setting that ranges from the most popular, the wannabes, the we don't care what happens here group and the nerds.

But in my school there is another group that is below all the four and that is where I belong plus I belong here alone. Everyone can treat me like trash even the lowest of the lowest.

Picking up my books I kept my head down hoping to survive at least this day. At the entrance of my classroom there stood Lisa and Troy kissing passionately.

I was suddenly back to that day three weeks ago, under Troy and screaming for someone to help me. There was a sharp pain in my chest and I couldn't breathe, I was starting to panic.

I felt strong hands hold me upright before I truly lost it. I was grateful for the support and the smoothing words because the panic was soon over.

I realised it was Mason again and I almost laughed at my hope that it was some other guy who cares but of course nobody cared about me. " You should get used to them Trinity,"

Why should get used to the guy who almost raped me? Of course I know, to keep my family's reputation, to make people believe lies, not to destroy my sister's perfect relationship and my father's position in politics and for all those perfectly good reasons I should watch my rapist free and happy,

My family had come up with a good plan for what happened to me. And since nobody apart from Mason and my family knew what exactly happened. It was best to pretend nothing happened.

" What do you get out of your silence Mason?"

" Nothing, just like I get nothing out of saving you,"

" I want to thank you for what you did that day."

" You don't need to thank me and if it was up to me that bastard would be behind bars. I do understand  what your mother told me and respect your privacy,"

I merely wondered if his anger towards Troy was because of what almost happened to me or Troy being the boyfriend of the girl he had a secret relationship with.

" I just don't like attention on me Mason, we all know how that will end with reporters and I don't like news,"

Mason smiled down at me and he had a glint in his eyes. " Do please tell me Trinity, is it because you are too shy that you can't even look me in my eyes,"

" I am not shy Mason, I just don't like attention on me," I said not sure if I was really shy or just preserved and not fully exposed to the world.

" If you not shy as you say, then please do me the honor of looking in my eyes,"  My face was so red now but I couldn't lose a simple challenge so I looked right into his beautiful eyes.

He gasped and I immediately bowed my head thinking how stupid I was to follow his request of course he has seen better my eyes are merely brown and Lisa has beautiful blue eyes.

Mason raised my chin up held my eyes prisoner. " Your eyes are so beautiful Trinity, you should walk with your head held high and look at us all like your servants." He faked a bow while I laughed at his exaggeration.

"Don't be silly, my eyes are merely brown not even the special blue or green,"

" Of course they are rare, honey brown almost gold making them perfect,"

" If you are done flattering her Mr Welxer, you have a lesson to attend,"

If I was blushing then, now I was tomato red. Our teacher stood besides us with a very amused smile indicating he had heard most of our conversation.

This is the very teacher who had never heard me utter a sentence. Infact he forced me to answer his questions once but I had refused landing myself a detention. Now he had just caught me in a compromising position with the school rake.

" Uhhh...  Mmmmm ....we are sorry  Mr. Harry," I said almost too quickly. And the most surprising thing happened Mason's laughter roared through the empty hall while he and Mr. Harry did the brotherly hug.

" You caught yourself a gem Welxer, but I warn you dear it would be best if you avoid this excuse of a man,"

" And why should she do that Harry, am the best this school has to offer,"

" Ummmm..... I... should go to class now,"

And I ran from there wandering what just happened and I guess I should not have skipped my morning coffee now I was day dreaming.

First I dreamt Mason flitting with me and saying I have beautiful rare eyes and very soon my dream got a lot more strange and Mason was laughing and joking with the toughest teacher I know and that said teacher called me a gem that got me busting into silent laughter getting my neighbors attention.

She looked confused and who am I to blame her for she had never seen me even as much as smile. I gave her a smile and before she could react I turned to face the board.

I can't believe I even dreamt the man in front of me joking but on close inspection he had the same shirt and he and Mason were entering the room together. That very minute I received a note.

To Miss Ugly,

Stay away from Mason you don't not deserve him

Lisa Colton.

So I was not dreaming I actually saw the man joke and laugh. That got me laughing again everything considered at least I got to see Mr. Tough laugh and Lisa's note would never annoy me I was used to being called ugly.

" Do you care to share what is so funny Miss Gold,"

I almost fell off my chair seeing all attention on me. Hearing my name in a class was surprising that never happened. Well isn't today is full of surprises.

" Of course, she is daydreaming about Mason,"

And the room went up in cheers. I wandered what the fuse was about Mason was over friendly and every time he was spotted with a new girl but it was never an issue in the past. Was the issue me? Was I this popular that everyone had to know the moment someone talked to me calmly and friendly.

Once the class was quiet I caught Mr. Harry's smirk and I knew he was teasing me.

Another note dropped on my desk. And this one got straight to the point and I knew this was no empty threat.

Not edited since no one is reading my novel I will edit when I feel like.
