Dying in silence

Fontana’s Pov

“Did I just step on you?”she asked with a smirk.

“I guess it’s a no no”she said and walked away with her minions.

I massaged my hurting toe and winced.

It hurts.

I sniveled and sat down then brought out an yoghurt box from my backpack.

I opened the lid and as I placed the rim of the bottle on my lips, someone deliberately bumped into my chair.

Causing my yogurt to spill around my desk.

I looked up at the person angrily.

” C’mon stop giving me that look, it wasn’t intentional”she scoffed and also walked away with her crew.

I sighed dejectedly and brought out my handkerchief.

As I placed the pink soft cotton on the desk surface, someone decanted some water on it and the milk smeared all over my desk.

Oh, God!.

“Oh, my!, What I’ve I done?”she feigned innocent then smile mischievously before sashaying away.

Mama mercy!.

The bell chimes for lecture and our teacher came in almost immediately.

“Good morning to y’all”he greeted and the students drawl out a reply.

I stare at my desk and tears formed up in my eyes.

Why are they all doing this to me?

I whimpered and a tear slipped out of my eyes.

I’ve not known any peace since the day I’ve stepped into this school, especially this class.

Why did everyone hate me?

“Miss Fontana?”the teacher’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts.

I looked up and adjusted my glasses.

“Come and solve this equation for us”he said.

I ball my hand in a fist…

I tried standing up but i can’t as my butt was stuck on the chair.

What?

I tried standing up again and it was still the same.

Ahhhhhh!!

Could someone have….

Could someone have possibly set a gum on my seat before I sat down?.

Mama mercy!…

The teacher frowned at me and started walking towards.

He pulled me up and the students busted into laughter immediately.

What…

My eyes widened when I realized the chair was stuck on my butt.

What the…

I bend my head in embarrassment and sniffed in.

“You know what?, don’t worry, have your seat. Perla come out and solve this for us”he said as he walked back to the front.

“Okay, sir”Perla, the girl who had stepped on me, replied.

I sat down and batted my lashes.

She moved to the front of the class and collect the chalk from the teacher.

She used the formula for the equation and she actually got it right.

“Good work”our teacher commented and she walked back to her seat.

The teacher went on teaching.

After some minutes, I was pressed and I decided to take an excuse to go to the restroom from the teacher.

I raised up my hand and he nudged his head towards me.

“Can I use the restroom?”I asked and stood up.

The students laughed and I turned to them.

They kept pointing at my butt as they laughed and…

God!, I totally forgot I’m stuck on the chair.

How I’m I going to ease myself.

Even the teacher laughed but he quickly control himself.

“A boy should help her remove that!”he said pointing to the chair that is stuck on my butt.

“Ew!”the guys made an irritably face.

But then, a guy wearing glasses just like me came and forced the chair down from my butt.

“Thanks”I muttered shyly and ran out of the class.

I headed for the bathroom and different thoughts were flowing in my mind.

Suddenly, I bumped into someone and I find all my thoughts flooding out.

“You bitch!, you are nothing but a bitch, why did you step on me?”I shouted.

Fontana’s Pov

“You bitch!, you’re nothing but a bitch, why did you step on me?”I shouted.

The guy who I had bumped into looked up, staring at me discombobulated.

“What!, you’re still not going to apologized?”I folded my hands angrily.

Right now, all I’m seeing infront of me is Perla.

It was as if I was in a fairytale land.

I wasn’t noticing this guy at all, not even the weird look he’s throwing at me.

“Woah;did I mistakenly entered a psychiatric hospital”he scoffed.

He glanced around..

“Hamilton high!, I’m not mistaken!”he huffed.

He turned to me and scoffed again.

“What, is she a psycho?”he muttered to himself as he stared at me.

With a full force, I found my self in front of Mia, the one who had spilled my milk.

“You spilled my milk?”I screamed and raised my hand up to slap her.

She caught it in the mid air and twisted it.

Arg..

My eyes shone immediately.

I stared at the guy in front of me.

When… when did he got here?

Or is he ghost.

But he’s super cool though.

“Ahh”I winced in pain as my hand was twisted to my back.

God!

“What are you doing, ghost!”I grunted.

“Doing?, you tried to slap me, weirdo and did you just called me a ghost?”he said grumpily and I wriggled my hand out of his grip.

Gosh!

I stared at him angrily, my hand has suddenly gone numb.

“I wonder why my first day have to turn out like this”he said.

“I thought I was gonna meet with the hot ladies first”he added.

He eyed me and walked away.

Gosh, what was that for.

I threw invisible blows at his back.

Something I had never done to a person before.

Just mere looking at his backside, he looks hot.

I pinched myself really hard.

I’m I drooling on him?

Of course not, I’m just admiring God’s perfect creation.

Phew!

I ran to the bathroom..

I opened the door and got in then entered one of the toilet.

I quickly pulled down my skirt and then my underwear and eased myself.

Now, I felt relaxed.

I pulled up my clothes and sighed.

I returned to the class and sat down.

Another teacher was in already.

I guess I used alot of time in the restroom.

Our home room teacher suddenly came in, a guy was trailing behind her.

“Please, a minute”she took an excuse from our English teacher.

“Okay, go on”she permitted.

“Good morning, class”our home room teacher, Mrs Pershing, greeted.

“Good morning, ma’am”the class replied.

“So, we are having a new student among us, can you please introduce yourself?”she turned to the guy and wait…

His this not the guy from earlier?.

The ghost guy?.

He came to stand in front of the class and released a smile.

A trapping smile.

The students smiled sheepishly Immediately.

“I’m Darrel Roosevelt”he winked and that sent all the girls drooling.

“Good, can we all accept and treat Darrel like one of us?”Mrs Pershing asked.

“Yeah”

“Sure”

“Of course”

“You’re welcome, cutie”

The students replied.

“Take any vacant seat available at the moment”Mrs Pershing said to him.

“Of course, ma’am”he grinned.

Gosh!

He’s just messing around with the ladies.

Mrs Pershing nodded and left.

He walked around and seems like the seat beside me is the only one vacant.

He started walking towards my desk immediately he spotted the vacant seat beside me.

*Why is he walking towards that fucked up girl?*

*Stand up Janice, allow him to sit down here*

*Geez… why’s he going to that girl!”

The students murmured.

But does he not recognize me?

Or he’s just pretending not to?

He placed his bag and his eyes traveled to my direction.

He frowned immediately he saw me.

“Oh, what the hell…”he muttered but I heard that.

He carried his bag and moved away to the guy that help me remove the chair off my butt.

His seat is just three seats away from mine.

Hmm, I wonder why he’s going to him. There’s no empty chair beside him.

*Please, can you move to that seat, I like the view of the board from here”I heard and turned around just as he pointed towards my desk.

The guy stared at me and returned his gaze back to the ghost guy.

“Of.. of course!”he replied and packed his book.

He also carried his bag and then, he came to sit beside me.

I turned to him and he released a smile.

I’ve never seen this guy before.

Though I don’t know majority of people in this class but I’ve just not notice a guy wearing glasses like me.

“H.. hi”he waved at me shyly.

“Hey..”I replied and focus back on the teacher.

“So, I said intonation in a sentence means the rising and falling of the voice. Who can give me an example of rising intonation”the teacher asked.

*Get out!”I gave an example inwardly.

The students raised up their hands and wow, they are all ladies.

I guess they are all trying to impress the ghost guy.

“Yes?, you”the teacher pointed towards a student.

“You’re cute”Perla voice answered.

“That’s a falling intonation, miss Perla”she said and pointed to another student while Perla sat down disappointedly.

“Can I have your number”the other one said.

My head quickly calculated her sentence to what Perla had said.

*You’re cute*

“Can I have your number*

Woah; seriously?, are they not indirectly referring to the ghost guy?

I scoffed and shook my head.

“That’s also a falling intonation, can I have another person?”

“Yes?”

“Uhm… fuck you!”was that Darrel voice?.

Of course it is.

“Nice one newbie, I’m impressed”our English teacher smiled.

All the girls turned to look at him with a redened face.

God!

I rolled my eyes inwardly.

After a long hours of lecture, the bell finally rang for break.

I packed my textbook inside my bag and stood up.

I’m really famished.

“Uhh, you’re going to cafeteria, right?”the guy beside me asked.

“I’m going to our home room teacher place”I lied.

The least I want is having a company while eating.

“Oh, okay, I actually want you to buy some snacks for me because I’m heading to the library, it’s fine though”he expounded and stood up with his bag.

Oh!

“Well, I might want to go to the cafeteria after collecting what I wanted from our teacher, who knows”I shrugged.

He nodded with a smile.

“Thanks. Burger and orange juice”he stretched his money towards me.

I collected it and walked away.

“Look who we have here”Perla blocked my way.

Gosh, not again!.

“I’m… I’m… heading for the cafeteria”I said.

“And who asked you where you’re going”she raised one of her brows.

Why did they picked interest in bullying me?.

“I’m… I’m sorry”I apologized.

“I bet you are, take”she stretched a white bag and I collected it.

“Drop that in my seat”she said and walked away.

I scoffed and walked back to the class.

I drop her bag and walk out again.

I headed to the cafeteria and went to place my order.

I carried my tray and walked to the back of the room.

I found someone already sitting in the place I use to sit down.

I can’t move to another seat, this is the only seat I found a little away from the other students.

Hm!.

I bit my lower lip and walked to the seat.

I placed my tray on the table and drew out a chair.

As I made to sit down, the guy seating there suddenly raised up his head and..

What?

It’s the ghost guy!.
