Chapter 1 - Just a normal day

           

          {Anger gets fueled by ignorance and sometimes the decisions we take are regretful,  but there is always a way,  a way to end it,  the way to end the suffering , maybe by solving the chaos and living happily or maybe by just accepting the reality and pretending to be happy or maybe by just letting the pain overrule the mind and making our life full of misery}

           "Pearl, just get up girl.. you're getting late for school .." This was my mom, shouting at top of her lungs and I, being a lazy bone, was spread out on the bed just like a blanket. "Dear, just get up , stop being a bad egg like your dad " This was enough to make my dad angry, so I had to get up immediately, I knew that there was a war to take place now at any moment but I was used to it, the only thing was as days passed on I was finding it hard to tolerate.

         I was born between two abominable people.. I was infirm when it came to choosing them. Both were equally irritating.

        "You filthy bitch.. just stop showing your arrogance in front of my child" I heard dad's voice as he intruded my thoughts. He went on with his curses.

         Meanwhile I got up from my bed, It was 6am in the morning and my home was like a battleground with two bulls denying to give up first. I just wanted to get away quick, run away from these people, away from this quarell and arguements that had no end. I felt sick living here. I skipped my breakfast although I was hungry.. but I just wanted to leave that place so quick that i didnt wait for an extra minute and marched on the way to school. Atleast school will be better, I thought.

         I was waiting at the bus stop four blocks away from my house. I could still hear my parents shouting and yelling at each other. I wondered why our neighbours kept away. This quarrel gave me the answer.I wish they could just stop their bickering and get a life instead.  It was strange, Two people who cannot stand each other, were living under a roof just for the sake of their reputation in the society. DUMB. Definately dumb.

        "Yooo baby.. I wish I could get the pleasure of kissing your lips!" I saw Dimitri who was walking on the other side of road. He was smirking and giving one of his 'you are my next target' look.Such a  Jerk.

       Dimitri Knowles. A playboy. The brown haired fellow was constantly chasing girls and using them, it was like his favorite hobby he just won't give up doing. He never failed to get a girl he had an eye on. He had a masculine body and his jocular nature was enough to impress girls plus he was uber rich. Some high school bitches were mad behind him. He was fake. Definately fake.

         I was just staring at him, thinking how annoying he is. I said nothing this time. Many things were already going through my mind and so it had no space for this jerk.

         "You know what Mr.Brat.. I hope you choke on the shit you speak." I saw Rachel approaching me. She shot back at Dimitri, herself annoyed by him. She was my best friend undoubtedly. She was always there for me when I needed her, she was there to support me, and yeah.. she always had answers for creeps who considered themselves as 'cool' just like Dimitri.

        Rachel had an amazing personality and no one actually knew about this fact except me. Her curly hair looked magnificent with her big brown eyes. She was curvy. Cuteness overloaded. She never seemed to notice her look though and always underestimated herself.

          We both headed to the school. I spoke nothing and Rachel kept quite too. She always understood. She knew when to speak to me and when not to and therefore she kept quiet through the whole journey. I mean it was as if she knew me better than me.

          Rachel was like a lioness: firm, loyal, full of rage; people around  thought that she had an attitude , but she was just like any other girl, she never showed her soft side, she was sensitive, she was lonely ,only I could see that, sometimes yeah I agree that she was rude,she may be pissed but i it was because of her inner frustation, her feelings that she did not want to spill out of her mouth. She also had parents like me. She tried to have a good coversation with her classmates several times, but the outcome was not as satisfactory as expected.

          Finally we reached school. "Hey, see you in the breaktime. Meet me in the canteen, I'm starving already." I finally spoke, breaking my silence.

         "Yeah sure. Umm... so you alright?" She asked giving me a confused look.

         "Yeah!! I'm... it's just that rat Dimitri.. he's... he's.. ugghhh.. I have no words for him"

         "I know you from the time when you were in your mother's womb. Stop lying. I know something happend."

       "Nooo... nothing happend.. " I was so good at lying, but not in front of her .

       "You can lie to yourself, not to me."

        It was her line. Her favorite one. Finally I gave up because yeah she was right so i agreed that she won.Well actually in such cases she always won. Sometimes its not so  good to have a best friend who knows you in and out.
