The Genesis

Chapter 18

From left cheek, to the right cheek. And from right cheek to the left cheek.

I kept on alternating my butt cheeks on the hard wooden chair. I kept on shuffling on my seat, resting my head either on my palm or my arms, leaning forward and backward on the back of my chair within every move of the shortest finger in the clock hanging above the green painted board that we happened to call black board.

Asking for time a solution for all the shits but only seems to answer "let me pass".

My head felt like exploding, thinking how truthful it is that we get red eyes in pictures at night because our pupil is just a hole and the flash reflects the blood in the back of our eyes!?

God!!

But seriously though, I'm bothered by what I just saw with that Jackass! Like, what was that all about!?

I hopelessly pressed my hands firmly over my throbbing head like playing flippers race!

Not to mention the ache coursing my entire body!

" Trillions of years from now, the sun will grow and engulf Earth then shrink into a dim remnant like it's former self." A chorus of 'oohh's flooded the room as Mr. Ju Lee Londrine explains about the theories of the Reverse of the Big Bang.

" The Universe will enter a quite retirement. Neighboring galaxies will begin zooming away from each other so fast that even a light won't be able to bridge their gaps. Stars will burn out and die. Darkness will fall accross the Cosmos as it was in the beginning-.." he stopped.

" Everything okay there Sheridan!?" His words voided with so much irritation.

Probably got distracted in every creak of my old arm chair as I shifted right then and there on my seat like with a chili stuck on my ass!

"A-I--.." but I was cut off as the school bell resonated and woke the dead violence of silence in the lone play ground outside. Cheers and yells of students like animals in the Amazon jungle filled the air.

Cess helped me gather my unopened and untouched book of God and Science.

" Let's go?" Zee asked as only the 3 of us are left in the room.

I was so eager to walk out just a minute ago, but suddenly my energy to move just flew out the window.

I looked up at them as they both stood infront of me with their foot tapping on the floor in unison.

A sigh escaped through me and finally found myself dragging my feet out the door.

The hallway were crowded by students bumping into each other as they rush through the double glass exit.

And those dagger looks, like drilling a hole in the back my head never missed.

Whispers and murmurs of "wacko" and "crack" are like dull and rusty knives ripping the flesh on my chest straight all the way down to my heart.

" I am not! Or will ever be."

The two, walking with me side by side looked at me weirdly and flumadiddly, not that I intended for them to hear, but their expressions quickly turned and filled with an utmost understanding and sympathy.

" It's just so unfair!" Cess suddenly admonished.

Yeah, because it's life Cess, unfair.. no matter how fairly you play.

" So they'll just gonna go like that!"

I turned my gaze to where the clinic was. What about Annie? Thinking about how bad her damages were.
