(Ik there are many mistakes in it but i didn't proof read it cause really tired of writing this chap. So please forgive me if i made some mistakes)
As I walked down the hall all the students started to stare at me and I knew exactly why.
(So let me take you guys back to last week's Friday)
Friday's are usually class presentation day and I knew that this time it was out turn for class presentation. The teacher divided us into groups of 5. 6 groups were made I didn't wanted to be a part of anything but I had to. Charlie was in my team so I was relieved. I thought that I'll just make the presentation and the other's will just do the talking. I wasn't good at talking because I stutter. I didn't even speak in the class I was ghost kid like my presence or absence in the class didn't make a difference. The only kid that I talked to was Charlie. The class had no idea about my speech impediment. But when the teacher told us that everyone will preside the presentation that is where I had no idea what to do. I had four days to prepare myself for it Charlie helped me out but there was no use even if I had a my lines written my Martin King Luther still wouldn't be able to speak because I "Stutter". So the day finally came our group was the first to present and I was last one to speak. So when i started to speak boom my stutter came as always and for the first time everyone in my class knew that I had a speech impediment. I wrote two pages for what i had to speak but only managed to speak just 6 or 7 lines in about 4 mins. The students took out their phones and started to record all of that stuff. The more I spoke the more I heard the sound of laughter. Jay was the most popular kid in the school. He was the captain of our football team. And also he was the biggest bully in our school. While I was speaking and shouted from the back "We haven't got all day you stammerer". After that I received a plenty of other comments from the kids and they just wouldn't even let me speak. In a few second the it was like a warzone where everyone was against me and the sad part about is that the teacher didn't even stops them. It was like he was also enjoying it and wanted to speak too but his position wouldn't let him. So I just couldn't hold it anymore the anger the frustration the embarrassment. I lost my mind at that moment so I quickly picked up my bag and rushed out of the class with tears running down my face. Charlie tried stopping me but before he could come out of the class I was gone.
I ran as fast while sobbing.
I opened up the door and went straight running to my room. My Mother heard some footsteps and firstly she thought it was my elder brother who came home early. But when she saw me slamming my door and locking it. She came upstairs and knocked at my door and said "July what's the matter why you're home so early did something happen at the school". I told her to just go away but she refused to go away. While I sat on the other side of the door still crying. After sometime she went away. I could hear her footsteps fading away on the wooden floor.
I recieved a notification on my phone and when I opened my Instagram. I saw a post from our school of today. You know those confession / school viral videos accounts that everyone in the school follows and talks shit on. So apparently the owner posted my video on it. So my stutter and everything was shown to the entire school. I read the comments which i regretted all I could see my people laughing and making fun about me. I became more emotional and angry.
So I went to the bathroom and saw myself and was so frustrated that eventually threw my perfume that my brother gifted me to the wall. The glass bottle shattered. I slided all the things of my table. Textbooks, notes, stationary everything was on the floor. The situation of the room was just as if a mini tornado flew into my room. I didn't even change my uniform and went to bed and cried myself to sleep. I didn't respond to any of Charlie's calls or messages. I slept till 8 pm and woke up when I heard a knock on my door. It was my Mother who requested me to Atleast eat something. I went to the bathroom washed up my face and went to eat. I didn't say a word I was pretty upset about it. I ate my dinner and went back to my room. My head was aching so I took a medicine. I didn't know how to swallow medicine, so everytime I took a medicine I chewed it (Ik it sounds gross). I took the medicine and just sat in my bed thinking about today's incident and the more I thought about it the more frustrated I became. I opened my phone there were 17 missed calls from Charlie and he messaged me many times if i was alright. He was just checking up on me. But I didn't want to talk to anyone so ignored his messages.
In my mind I only had one thing how do I get rid of this stupid disability. So I stood in front of the mirror practicing lines. Because I wanted to get rid of my stutter on the spot . I tried and tried but still stuttered and I became extremely frustrated and angry. I threw myself on the bed and just shut my eyes closed. Played some soothing sound and slept. The next few days went same I didn't respond to any of Charlie's text messages and just tried to forget about the incident but couldn't.
The next chapter will continue from where chap 1 was left off.
Ik there are many many punctuation errors and the chap itself isn't good but I'm trying my best to do it. If there is anything that you want me to improve please let me know it'll be very useful for me
