He's My Light (Ma Lumière)

Chapter 2

* A Few weeks later*

It has been almost 3 weeks since my mum didn't come home. I'm worried but she texted me that she was in a safe place and she's okay. My parents fought a lot and I do think that they need time away from each other and especially from work to clear their mind. But, now, I can't help but thinking if they are going into a divorce.

I woke up in the morning and went to shower, I found myself silently crying in the shower. I decided to go to school without my dad because I don't want him to see me hurt like this. I felt like crap but I do know that laying in my bed and crying all day wouldn't help me.

Before I left for school, I stuck a note to my dad saying 'Morning dad, Shasha is picking me up today to school. Don't forget to eat your breakfast and love you, dad!. Love Shayna x'.

I lied, Shasha is not picking me up. I just feel that I need some fresh air so I walked to school while listening to Photograph by Ed Sheeran. Walking gave me some unexplainable relaxation from things that happen in my life.

When I arrived at school, I kept walking to my locker, then I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," I said without looking for that person.

Then, the person had a dark but deep voice said, "You know if you want to apologize to someone you need to look at that person in the eyes so he or she would have known that you are sincere". I looked up to the person, it's the new kid.

"It's Edward, right? well, I'm sorry, " I said and he replied, "It's alright... well you seem like someone that had a lot of things going on in your mind.".I was about to reply, then Shasha interrupted me by playfully punching me in the arms and said "SHAYY!! Your dad calls me just now asking if you are going to school with me... you should text me first if you need me to cover you, Shay".

Then, she saw Edward "Ohh hey greenie," she said to him. Edward just nodded and left to class while I and Shasha walked to our class "Sorry Sha, forgot to text you... I just needed some fresh air so I went for a walk " I said and she just nodded.

I'm pretty sure that she knows something went wrong with me, but I'm glad that she hasn't asked about it yet.

*Lunch break*

I and Shasha are sitting at our table eating our food, then some evil devil queen, Joanne Sims comes to us and says "Well hello guys, how was your summer? I bet you spent most of your time in therapy, right Shayna?" she said smirking at me.

" Anyways... Shasha, me and my girls were just wondering if you want to join us in the school drama club?" she said with her fake smile.

Shasha looks at me then says to Joanne, "I love to join the club but can Shayna come too?".Joanne looks at Shasha like she was crazy "This girl in my club, huh... heck no we just want you, Shasha not her so if you still want to be in the club stays at school at 4 pm, bye." said Joanne and she left to her group.

I looked at Shasha and said "You can't drag me to that club Sha but you, girl go for it...I know your passion for acting so go okay". I and Joanne never knew each other until the incident three years ago.

*Flashback*

"Can I have all of your attention, please? Alright, for this year, I've decided that Shayna, you're going to be the lead for the upcoming Swan Lake," said my ballet instructor, Ms Porter.

I have been dancing ballet since I was 3 years old when I got myself audition for Black Swan which is the way that leads me to Joanne. I am going to admit that Joanne is such an amazing dancer, but every time you see her dancing it always lacks emotion because the only thing is in her mind it's all about 'WINNING AND TECHNIQUE'.
