Ice Picked Hearts

Chapter-05

Who's there? Merit's voice echoed in the silent hallway. "If you're not coming out I promise to call the school authorities". She said again, a little bit louder this time.

But wait, did this crazy bitch just threaten me? I muttered under my breath. Well, I don't care, I'm not going out. She'll leave to call Mr Gerald, and I'll get out before they get back here.

"Who's in there, open up"! She banged the door. She was only making things worse, because I have no plans of opening that door as long as she is standing there.

"Okeyyy, since you're proving so smart, I'm going to call the principal, so I'll leave now"!

Silence enveloped the hallway. "I  better get out of here now".
I said.

"I have nothing to explain, but why the hell is she finding it hard in minding her business".

"Weirdo". I hissed. I picked up the used tissues I left on the floor, and three then in the bin. I heard the whistling and whooshing sound that comes from the toilet when one flushes and immediately it stopped I could hear the refilling sound alerting me that water was pouring internally. I'd pay a million dollar to be at peace right now. All I need is rest. I'm just so tired of everything. I want it to end already.

While I was still in the restroom, staring at myself in the mirror, all I saw was a zombie like stressed teenager with a puffy pale face, and tired eyes with bags begging for rest. I packed my hair into a bun and washed my face.

My reflection stared back at me in the mirror, and that made me want to cry more. But no, I cried enough, now isn't the time. I just need to clear my head a bit.

I unlocked the door and it creaked open.

My heart jumped in my chest. No, I'm not doing this. I'm not talking to her. Merit was resting her back on the wall opposite the restroom. Her hand crossed over her chest and she chewed gum like a roadside bitch, throwing me a death glare. What the hell does she want from me?!

I ignored her, I'm not ready to talk to anyone. She started walking behind me blowing her bubble gum in the most annoying way she could. "Heyyy runaway, wait up". She stopped me, pushed my shoulder against a wall muttering something I didn't hear.

"Demerit, what do you want"? Haha, Demerit a name I call her all the time. It pisses her off and I kinda like it.

She closed her eyes while she took in a sharp breath clenching her jaw. "Demerit, please stop being an ass and let me go"

She opened her eyes. "Merit please stop being an ass and let me go". She repeated the same thing I said. "I said Demerit and not Merit".

She wore a smirk on her face and I'd love to slap it off. I tried to pull out of her grip, but she slammed my back against the wall. She studied my look.

"Oh, you've been crying" I could sense sarcasm in her voice. I pushed her hands away. I can't go through shit all day then let some girl who probably might be behind it worsen it. "Merit, please stop all this and get out of my way". I was loosing my patience.

"Hey girl, I heard you cry and all I want to do is help you". She sounded so real. "Demerit you never help me"

"Stop being so naive" she slammed my back against the wall again.

"I'm not being naive Demerit". I rolled my eyes. "See I don't want to talk to you right now, so please just leave me alone!" I replied.

She loosened her grip on my shoulders. I shrugged her hands off and walked away.

"Go then, but I'll warn you to stay away from Paul, you're not his type of girl". I didn't turn around, but I heard that loud and clear.
