Unbroken

Chapter 9 (unedited)

I think beauty comes from actually knowing who you are. That's real beauty to me.
-Ellen DeGeneres

My life, so far, is full of ups and downs. So much that I can't even think straight. I've had a series of drama in weeks. From my suspension to Sam's pranks on me, to my date with Edward, to my mother's marriage, to my father's threat that has caused her to put her marriage on hold.

She had told me to come to Manchester a month to her wedding because of my father's threat. According to her, we have a lot of things to talk about. I needed time for myself, time to get my shit together and fix my mind. I could use my trip to Washington, I thought.

I have to be in Washington in two days. It would be my last day at school till I return.  Fiona had promised to email me the notes.

After breakfast, we walked to Fiona's car. She had suggested a time out before I took off to Washington. I was going to miss her so much. She was like my sister, and we've been apart on only two occasions, when we had vacations with our families.

Well, who did I offend? Classes were super-boring today, and time wasn't helping matters. I just couldn't wait to be home. I didn't understand most of the things I was taught because I couldn't concentrate. I just wanted to be home. My head was pounding heavily already, and I needed to rest.

Well, maybe the clock of luck finally moved to my direction. School was finally over. I was walking to Fiona's locker when I stepped on something. It made a loud, deafening sound, and I thought I was finally going to go deaf, not resulting from my regular wrong use of earbuds but from the sound the mystical thing I had stepped on made. Well, maybe I was being over dramatic, but I seriously thought I was going to go deaf. Who knew if I had even gone deaf already? “Yes.” I said to myself. Okay, I heard that. Maybe I wasn't deaf, after all. I sighed and continued going.

I had gotten close to Fiona's locker without another incident, and I concluded that the ping-pong or whatever it was I had stepped on was not for me. Just then, I felt my shoes slip under the force of something. I struggled to stand firm and moved my hand in search of something to hold on to. The force was very strong, and it kept pulling me until I fell to the ground with a thud.

I tried to come up, but I couldn't. I screamed and massaged my butt helplessly. I looked around for help. What I saw surprised me, well, didn't. I saw Sam and his friends, with the inclusion of Georgia. The crazy kids were laughing their heads off. Great thing! I was now a laughing stock.

I remained on the floor for what seemed like ages, crying and massaging my butt till Fiona came up to me. “Very early!” I said sarcastically. She helped me to my feet and walked me to her car.

“I will definitely take my pound of flesh on those sick bastards.” I muttered angrily. Well, maybe that's how best they know to say goodbye to a lovely friend. My silly subconscious said, laughing at me.
