Taking a sip of my orange juice,I almost cried as the people who I had tried to avoid the whole day began sitting down at my table.Lucia flipped her bright blue hair behind her shoulder and glared at me with her scary amber eyes as the others looked at her excitingly. I could tell she came for trouble and nothing more.
Not today though.I felt numb and exhausted and too tired to fight or even argue.
"Millificent" She began,spitting my name out with digust
"you've been sooo quite lately" she forced a smile and attempted to look concerned. Before I could reply with a I'm just tired or another lame excuse her high pitched voice started to speak agian "I'm sure it's because of ray,right?"
Her eyes scanned my face for any emotion and frowned when I kept a straight face void of any feelings. ray. I avoided that name for 2 whole weeks. "I mean you guys have been together since birth and it must be har-"
"Hey did you guys hear about Zara and Alex?" Jace cut in before Lucia could get too personal,and I gave him a smile to know I was grateful.Lucia had it in for me since the first day of school,and she always uses my weaknesses to her advantage.
As the chatter on my table turned to gossip I got up and excused myself to use the toilet or anywhere away from them.
I jogged down the hall,pulling my hoodie up to let people know I didn't want to talk and opened the bathroom which was thankfully empty.
I took a breakfast bar out my bag and began to take small bites while perched on the bathroom counter.
I looked in the bathroom mirror and tried to see what others saw for once. A beautiful girl,with long black wavy hair, bright green eyes and tanned skin. My hands roamed to my face,touching each feature,outlining my button nose and then feeling my soft,rosy lip,then making their way to my body feeling my the curve of my waist the large bumps on my chest,and the not so large bumps on my backside.
Then i when opened and closed my eyes, I began to look at myself from my perspective.
A broken girl Who felt empty and numb and the feeling of happiness was so foreign to her.
Her heart felt heavy and all she wanted to do was to sleep and never wake up.Broken promises and dreams where all her mind could ponder on. She was alone, truly alone.
I jumped out of my trance as the bathroom door opened and a girl in a wheelchair who didn't even spare me a second glance entered.
She was quite pretty with a heart shaped face,grey eyes and long maroon hair. She wheeled herself Infront of the mirror and applied balm to her full lips. I sat back down on the counter, awkwardly staring at the cubicle.
"Lunch is over" Her voice was angelic but hard at the same time.I glanced at her,her grey eyes were on me and I shivered under her penetrating gaze.Giving her a firm nod i began to play with my fingers. "seems like you want to stay in here." She questioned.
No shit Sherlock.
"strange" she continued "You don't seem like the loner type" before I could reply she swiftly wheeled herself out bathroom and I jumped once agian as the bathroom door slammed shut.
