Bell rings...it was lunch break.
I look out the window, the sky was barely blue. I had been waiting hopelessly for that bell to ring. I was about to stand up from my seat, but i felt very nervous.
I looked around the class room, peoole had barely started going out for lunch.
I adjusted my glasses and once again i looked through the window, from where i sat i could see most of the buildings in the school.
I gazed shortly at the school park and a sigh escaped my lips, its lunch time, soon it would be closing time.
I placed my pen in between my literature text book. I shut the book and I stood up.
"Hey, humpty dumpty watch your step." I heard and i turned around, it was Francis and he was talking to me.
Both him and Every other person in the class room were laughing really hard
As quickly as i could, i walked out of the class in shame.
With my head bent low, i walk to the cafeteria to get my food.
After i got my food, i looked around the cafeteria to see if i could get an empty seat, i didn't want to sit in the midst of the other of my mates, i was afraid of being bullied.
There was no day i wasn't being bullied in this school. Elmore highschool, the one school that belonged to sassy teenagers and i was their target.
It all started in middle school. i was walking down the stairs when they had called all the students out on an assembly. I was at the top of the stairs, i felt a hand push my back and i lost my balance and i fell all the way to the bottom stairs and everybody in the whole school had watched it happen. I wasn't badly injured, just mild strains but i had wished i had died that day because ever since then, a name had followed me...humpty dumpty. But someone had pushed me down those stairs but i couldn't see who it was, till this day i still didn't know who pushed me down that stairs.
I shifted my glasses once again and i head to one of the empty seats in the cafeteria. Hopefully, today gets by pretty fast.
Honey its 8:15 already, get up and get ready for school." My mum yelled knocking at my door. I turned around and covered my head with a pillow.
Maybe she would go away, but she didn't, she knocked even louder.
"I'm not going." I shouted loud enough so she could hear me, and she heard me but she still presses on.
"Why?." She asks me .
"I hate school mum i'm not going." I explained.
"Honey i know it must be really hard being alone in class and not having any friend around you,but you will soon be graduating sooner i guess...then you wouldn't have to face anything like that."
"What do you know?." I asked her.
Then she was silent but i could still hear her breathe.
"I know that I'm not your mum, but Khloe I'm trying, don't you think. I'm trying, what else do you want me to do, what else should i do to prove to you that I'm trying, I'm here."
"If you knew anything about me you would have known that i liked being alone."
"I know your mum is not here right now,but i am,you don't always have to be hard on your self,she wouldn't want that wherever she is,i know she wants the best for you."She said.
" Leave me alone stop making things worst, i dont want this conversation." I told her.
she pulled my legs down the bed, i got up and angrilly stared at her, she raised both her hands with an Innocent gaze.
"I'm just trying to help."she said as she walked out.
I scrached my hair with a heavy sigh.
"i hate school" i said with another sigh escaping my lips.
I walked into the bathroom, my feet touching the cold tiles, i went to the corner of the bathroom and i put on my slippers. I took off my pyjamas and i stepped into the shower.
Once again i was looking out of the window, the parking lot seemed further than it actually was and the cars in the parking lot were now tiny.
"Khloe..." I heard and i turned my attention back to the class room. "The real world is happening in here and as much as you like it out there, you're stuck in here with us."
I could hear the whole class laughing.
I turned around to see them and i turned back to the teacher. She was pouting and her hands were crossed across her chest.
"I'm sorry Mrs Ramsey, i promise it won't happen again next time."
"There would be no next time." Mrs Ramsey said.
Now nobody was laughing, the class room was so silent that i could hear the clock ticking in the hall way. Even i, was quiet because i wantesd to hear what Mrs Ramsey had to say.
"I'm permanently removing you from your position."
"But, i promised not to look out the window."
"I don't believe you. So I'm moving you away from the window, its a big distraction, you don't pay attention to class all you do is stare out the window like your life depends on it."
I could feel tears gather at the corner of my eyes.
"I'm sorry." I told Mrs Ramsey but she was no longer staring at me, something else had caught her attention, she was staring at the door. I looked to the door of the classroom and i saw a guy standing there.
He had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, standing behind him was our principal.
"Good morning Mrs Ramsey." The principal said to mrs Ramsey.
"Good morning Mr Timothy." The principal said adjusting her blouse and placing a wide smile on her face.
"Good morning principal." We all said in unison. The principal didn't pay attention to us.
"This is Alex Carlson, he's our new transfer student." Mr Timothy said to Mrs Ramsey
"Welcome Alex." Mrs Ramsey said with a wider grin on her face.
I watched the new boy. He seemed like those princes they describes in the fairy tales that i grew up hearing, those princes that only fell in love with the most beautiful girls, i wasn't beautiful, i was the type that only got to dream having a boyfriend like him, he would never like me.
"Thank you." Alex said. His voice sounded calm and exotic.
"You can sit over there, behind Khloe."
"Who's khloe?." He asked
"Humpty Dumpty." The whole class yelled.
I covered my face with my hands.
"Khloe the girl with her hands in her face, sitting over there beside the window." Mrs Ramsey said.
My heart started beating fast as he heads towards my direction.
"Hey" he said to me as he waved his right hand with a slight smirk on his face. As he walked past me i smelt his dazzling cologne.
"I won't have to caution you about looking out the window all the time during class again, is that clear miss Khloe." Mrs Ramsey said, distracting my gaze from Alex, i turned to look at Mrs Ramsey. " Thank you ma, It wont happen again i promise". I said to her bending my face down in shame.
"Hi, I'm Lizzy." I heard and i turned back to look at who was speaking, the voice was familiar but this time in a more sexy tone.
"Hi I'm Alex."
Alex replied not showing any concern as he faced down to take his notebook out of his bag.
"Uhmmm, nice to meet you Alex." Lizzy said in a pressuring tone,"i think you're cute, Mind if we could be friends." She continued.
"Okay Sure, i dont mind at all." Alex replied while staring at the class board, Still not showing concern, rather he was paying attention to Mrs Ramsey's teaching.
Since there was a little bit of silence, i knew that Lizzy lost words, Because she wasn't really getting that much attention she wanted from Alex. I watched her walk back to her seat slowly, maybe she was hoping that he would call her back but he didn't and she was very disappointed.
I turned my attention back to Mrs Ramsey and for a good reason, a smile found its way to my lips.
