A Letter To Heaven

Blame😤

Five months later. The beginning of senior year. My last year before I go off to university. I wasn't too thrill about it and I was sad either.

"Julie!" A loud voice called from a distance. I spun around to see who it was because I didn't at all know the voice. When I saw his face though, my jaw dropped. Mars Keifel, the school's best musician was calling out to me.

My eyesbrows furrowed in confusion. Why would Mar want to talk to me? We're not even friends and I prefer it that way.

"Julie, I see we're in the same Econ class. Do you want to be my partner for the year?" He asked with shyly. His eyes went back and forth from the ground and me.

I couldn't be more confused until Ylia Samaroo pushed Keifel aside to ask me to be her partner.

"Why do you guys want me to be your partner. You two are friends you both can be partners." I pointed out. Ylia and Mars has beeen friends ever since I knew them. Why would they ever want to be seperated from each other.

Both of them fidgetted. They mumbled something too each other before bawling out "I need good grades this year!" And it all became clear. In the business classes in my school, I was considered as one of the smartest students in the class as I rank in the top ten. Put that fact into consideration and it will give you the conclusion that these too blonde heads wanted to use me for my brains.

My eyes widened to the sound of those words but I was soon overcomed by disgust. My eyebrows furrowing amd my lip twitched up at one side. Without saying a word, I bent my head, turned around and walked away.

The hallway was especially crowded this morning. I bumped into several boys that were towering over me. "Julie! So are we partners?" Ylia shouted at the top of her lungs which almost didn't do her squeaky voice any justice.

My feet began moving faster upon hearing her voice. I needed to get as far away from them as possible. The school bell rang causing a rockus in the hallway as all students made their way to their respective classes.

Before I was able to turn the corner a person stopped in front of me. "Are you okay?" The deep, edgey voice asked. I looked up and my eyes meet the warm, golden brown eyes of Dylan. Straight black hair, husky built, tall and face chiselled to perfection. He was considered as the most handsome in our year group.

The shock left my face but that didn't stop me from becoming terrified. My crush of two years is standing in front of me, asking if I am okay.

"Y-yeah I'm f-fine. Why do you ask?" I asked him.

His hand lifted the subject slip, "Well I saw that we were in the same Accounts class. Wonna be my partner." He asked confidently.

Annoyance gripped my jaw causing it to tighten. The third person this morning that asked me to be their partner. "Why would I want to be your partner?" I asked with my tone harsher than I expected it to be.

"Because I know your friend, Anjel or something so left school this year so I was wondering if you would like to have another friend." He shrugged his shoulders but his tone gave away how practiced that speech was.

"Her name is Amiterly. And any other reason?" I asked suddenly remembering his exam scores from last year.  "Like I don't know...your exam scores being below average?" I pointed out to him.

"Okay, fine. I really need your help to bring up my scores. I need to get a scholar-" He began saying but I raised my hand from him to stop.

"I don't want to hear it. You need extra help? Then hire a tutor and leave me alone." I said before walking off. His hand grabbed my wrist, tightly.

"I'll pay. Just tell me a price. I'm really desperate here." He begged me.

There's a reason that I don't want to help them...not even my crush...and that reason is because last year, they caused a huge comotion that got my best friend Amiterly to be suspended from school.

They pulled a prank on the principal. They spray painted her entire car in the middle of the night and blame the biggest 'loser'. They considered my best friend as the biggest loser and got her suspended from school. This didn't sit well with her parents of course and they decided to home school her.

However, upon being blamed for a situation she had nothing to do with she went into a depression and attempted suicide twice in the past month. The psychiatrist had no other choice but admit her to the pyschiatric hospital. 

Knowing the pain they put my best friend through made my blood boil.

"Julie?" Dylan called.

"I don't need your money." I pulled my wrist out of his grip and wrapped his shirt around my fist to bring his face close to mine. "You and your little group of friends ruin my best friend's life. Why would I ever help you?" I gritted my teeth at him.

"You wouldn't. I'm a fool for asking." He unwrapped my hand slowly and placed it at my side. "I don't blame you for being mad but you have to understand that I didn't make any decision to blame your friend. I swear I had nothing to do with that. I wasn't even there at school the day they blamed her. I was home sick from that night. The rain caught us and I get sick easily when I get wet in the rain." He explained.

His eyes frowned. His entire face became dull. "I heard what happened to her recently, I refuse to tell any of them. I can't imagine you pain but I need you to know that I wasn't to blame for her being suspended. If I was, I wouldn't even be coming to you asking for your help. I not that in decent." His gaze fell to the floor.

I can see the guilt radiating from his aura. "But you are in decent enough to not even have the audacity to remember her name." I said before walking off. I left him there to sink in his pity pool. These people take me for a fool.

No amount of sorries will ever get me to agree to tutor him.

Rage threaten to burst through my mouth but I held it back as I came to my class doorway. At the same time, I encounter a familiar face that I never expected to see. Not in a million years one this earth.
