Escape (Chapter 2)

Authors Note

Yay for the sad beginning! just kidding anyways just gonna tell you this whole story is sad so brace yourself for all these chapters okay cool bye

 I braced myself for what is gonna happen to me once I stepped foot into the hallway. I walked quickly to my class looking at the floor making sure I don't make any eye contact, I passed a group of girls but before I started picking up my speed to pass them one of the girls extend her leg out and before I could walk around it I tripped over her leg and landed on the floor, I layed on the ground in shock and in embarrassment.Tears welled up in my eyes blurring my vision as I heard the people around me laughing at me as they made a circle around me. "Aww she's crying how sad."  One of the girls made her lips turn into a pout and laughed along with the others.

 I got up without looking at anyone and rushed to the nearest restroom, I started hyperventilating and shaking. I found an empty stall I ran to the stall and locked it, I turned around and ran to the opposite wall of me and cried I want to escape this world, I wish this never happened. I WANT THIS TO FUCKING STOP! I shouted in my mind. I tried controlling my breathing but it was no help, my heart was beating face and I kept shaking. I sat on the floor replaying everything that had just happened "I hate you." I said to myself.

 Once I managed to control my breathing a little and my shaking I built the will to go to class. As soon as I opened the door I felt a surge of regret filling up inside me as soon as the students and the teacher turned to look at me. "Zandra? why are you 20 minutes late to my class?" The teacher looked at me with a stern and worried look "I-I-I'm s-she." I gave up cause now I kept stuttering I just continued looking down at the floor "I'll meet you out-" before the teacher could finish his sentence I barged  out of the door and waited for the teacher to come out. While waiting for what seemed like forever I entered my mind and again I thought about everything that had happened today, before tears started welling up I was interrupted by a voice "Zandra why were you 20 minutes late to my class?" I could feel the teacher eyeing me "I was u-um i-i-in the b-b-bathroom" I managed to tell part of the story but I still stuttered "Zandra you know this is the 10th time out of this month right?." in a worried tone the teacher was still looking at me "Y-yes I-I under s-stand." I wish this conversation would just end "This is the last time next time your gonna go to detention you understand?" "Y-yes sir." I felt my heart beating faster than before "You can come back to class now."
