"April, do you think no one will know about it?" Kesha once told with a smirk flustered on her small face. But I ignored what she said because I know what's the truth. Kesha is my classmate who always asks for answers. Like, in class, on tests, on quizzes, or even in a particular performance. She always seeks for my ideas never thank me, when she got the highest scores in the class. She always brags to everyone about it, that she is the smartest. She always ranks third in class.

I closed my eyes and slide my bare hands into the pocket of my jacket, as I feel the cold breeze on my whole body. I remembered the day, his last day. We argued Kesha's doings. He wants to stop me from supporting her. But I'm against it 'cause when a person is happy it's okay with me even though it's illegal. I shouted and cursed him and he wanted me to stop it or my rank will slow down any moment from now. Because of anger, I pushed him and--

My cellphone rang so I quickly opened my eyes. I slipped my hands on the side of my jeans where I put the cellphone. Then, I read the caller with my eyes. I slide my finger on the screen to decline. 

The next morning, a photo spread out on the whole campus, in the photo our top 1 in the whole school and I. The scenario there is when I pushed him. Based on the angle of the camera I am sure it is on the CCTV taken. They whispered opinions regarding the photo and I am very much sure that they suspect me. I take a nap because I don't want to hear them. They didn't even know what's the story but here they are making a novel about my life. I'm not that kind of girl.

Someone pushed my chair so my body fell on the floor and my head seems spinning. I feel dizzy. I creased my forehead together with my body up but I couldn't lift myself. My vision is a blur too. I murmured curses because I am so weak and this isn't me. This is my first time and I hate it. I tried to stand up again but someone kicks my tummy so that my body slammed on the floor once again and it badly hurts. Then I blackout.

"April, please stop it! Your life will be in danger if you will continue it." Wyte said with full of authority, unfortunately, I am not afraid of it. The wind felt so nice even though it is cloudy. He reached for my hand but I stepped myself backward the anger in his eyes changed into a cold one. When he's like that you wouldn't know how he felt and I am afraid of it.

"You will be in danger if you do. If he'll found out do you think nothing will happen?" He said with widened eyes.

"Wyte, I do not care!" I slammed my hands on the table beside me, there are many tables and chairs here that are useless. People often throw things here.

"Why? April, why are you so kind? Be selfish this time please!" Wyte said coldly.

I shook my head and started to walk away when he held my right hand which made me stop. I can hear sobbing right now and my heart aches a little, to be honest, this isn't me. I shouldn't have felt this way. I am not weak.

"I don't want to lose you, April," he hardly said while sobbing.

A tear fell on my right eye and it stream down my cheek. 

"Is she okay nurse? Her blood pressure is rising!" Someone concernedly asked which makes my soul awakened. As I opened my eyes familiar faces greeted me and one unfamiliar woman wearing a tuxedo. The school nurse approaches me immediately to check my blood pressure. My classmates, well, five of them are here and only watching with cold eyes. I know they didn't like me.

"She's okay, ma'am Marion," the school nurse answered, "April, you need to eat lunch now because you didn't eat for two days and that is extremely disturbing. Why is that?"

I saw the girl's eyes filled with curiosity, she was behind the school nurse and beside my classmates. Who is she and why are her eyes telling me that she's concerned about my health?
