LOVE IMPERFECTION

6*

Lily's POV.

I dozed off for a second, the next thing I know is someone yanking my head back and fourth repeatedly.

I woke up scared, confused with a spinning head. My hair was everywhere, trapping me in a dense jungle that I had to find a way to towards the light.

What's happening?

I met the eyes of a fuming blonde, that looked like she's ready to rip me off.

Ah, it's another "beautiful morning" and am about to get the usual bout of conflict.

"What are you doing in my seat?". I looked up at her, perfectly manicured nails, wavy shiny hair, flawless make up with floral print dress.

"Huh.." I quizzed.

All I did was take the front sit this fine morning, because why can't I? It's my right to sit anywhere I want to in class. Plus, I couldn't sleep last night, I had alot on my mind, most especially I was thinking about bc. That's why I dozed off a little placing my head on the desk, I am really glad I have an understanding father, all he did was asked me what I did with the money, he knows am not a thief and I would never lie it him. Otherwise, I would have had alot more to worry about.

"Your place is in the back, you cheap rag." She screamed, voice high pitched.

I stared at her for some odd reason, no longer feeling scared.

"Don't gawp at me". She warned, I looked away, clearing my throat, picked my bag and stood up to leave.

"Come back here, you don't expect me to sit on that do you?". She raised a questioning brow.

I stared.

"Clean it". She yelled.

"We don't have all day". Rebecca chirped behind her. I looked over at them, same attitude, same outfit. Cassandra shook her head.

I went on one knee, used my palm to wipe the sit because to me it's honestly not a big deal, I felt devoid of any feeling in that particular moment, all I wanted to do was silently sit somewhere else.

"Ew! Just like the filth she is". Venessa added, irking me, I glanced up,her lips curled into a knowing smirk. The class laughed. My chest tightened then slowly released a deep breath.

Mr Johnson, the chemistry teacher walked in with a big smile.

"Good morning beautiful students". He greeted earning himself a unison groan and a muffled greetings.

I smiled at him.

"I hope you all are having a wonderful morning. Now who can remind me where we stopped in last class?" He asked, his french accent going unnoticed.

A bunch of student raised their hands including Chloe and I.

He traced his eyes amongst us. "Ah, you at the back".

"She!". Chloe butts in.

"Yeah, why not?". He asked

"But I have been raising my hand". She trailed off

His bright smile faltered "This is a class Mrs.."

"Oh shut up". The captain cut him off, waving him off.

The class went silent, his expression changed and  shoulder sags, when his eyes met mine and they brighten up. He said

"OK venessa, why don't YOU tell me where we stop in our last class".

She scoffed "its too late now, ask someone else".

He sigh heavily and shook his head. I felt pity for him, they don't even have respect for their teachers.

No wonder Adrian can do whatever he wants and no one will say a word, I have reported them once and nothing happened, now, I see why.

Now I also see why some teachers look at me with pity whenever I pass them, some even favours me on some things.

I brought out my note as the class continue but I can't see BC anywhere. Is he not in school yet?, what if Adrian has beaten him up again.

I felt my blood boil just thinking about it, I really hate them with all I have.

The class took forever to end and I went on looking for BC. If he isn't in the cafeteria then there's only one place I can find him and that's the bathroom. The girls bathroom that is, I wanted to find him because only with him do I get a sense of normalcy around here.

I strode off towards there and I was right, I walked into the bathroom next to his and stepped on the toilet, he is hugging his bag as he sob.

"BC" I called in a whisper.

He immediately wiped his tears away and he looked up.

"Open the door there" I told him.

"No, go away"!.

"What's wrong, did Adrian hit you again?". I asked him worry taking the better of me.

"I said go away". He said with a voice mixed with fear and anger.

"What happened?, come out and we will talk about it" I suggest.

He stood up and threw his bag at me. I lost balance and fell on the closed toilet.

"Oww" I winced. He became silent, there was no sound coming from his bathroom.

I stood up and looked over to see what's happening in there with him.

He was standing froze in one place, when his eyes meet mine, I saw a hint of relief left him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked again.

He slid down the door and his cry took a new start.

"No one cares about me, I have no one". He sob, this time loudly.

I had no idea what he meant or where his words are heading but I felt sorry for him, I guess he was right. We don't have similar lives. He's is more messed up.

"They wont leave you too, stay away from me, it's best for you. I am tired lily". He said sad and depressed.

" what do you mean?".

" leave". He screamed at me
