High school.... ( September 2015)
.
I didn't want to get out of the car... I was spacing out at usual.. biting at my short fingernails..,
The tension and the anxiety was spreading fast through my neck straight to my legs that I didn't want to move a bit
My mom's voice jolted me back to reality
"Iris!
Do you know that you're keeping me waiting?
Your younger sister is already on her way to her classroom"
I stared outside the car window and saw my 11 year old sister bouncing happily into the school compound while my ass remained glued to the car seat
Well... she wasn't overweight
Why won't she be so excited to be in school
I was in my senior second year when I had to get transferred to another school due to the repeated bullying and physical abuse which I suffered from my ex classmates
My mom took it personal when I came home last year with a swollen face and a note which read "UGLY FAT PIG" in my backpack
Remembering the incidence brought smiles to my face as I recalled my mom driving with fury to my former school the following day to give a whole speech of anger to everyone involved in the case
She almost threw a water bottle at my classroom teacher
Everything led to my ultimate transfer for my peace but I was still nervous to start school again after receiving therapy for a year at Home
I took in a deep breath and finally opened the door...as I was about to get down, my mom held my hand firmly and said
"Be good Iris
Don't let anyone look you down...
Remember that you're my princess and I'd always love you "
My eyes watered and I turned to give her a tight hug
"Thanks mom...
I love you"
She pecked my cheeks and waved me bye before driving off
With a deep breathe... I moved into the school compound where another whole experience began for me
.
.
.
.
The morning assembly went by in a blur
Everyone was staring at me with weird eyes...
well.. why won't they?
I was obviously the biggest person in their midst
I tried my best to maintain a calm composure till we ended morning assembly and moved to classes
As I was trying to find an empty space in the lousy classroom... I heard a soft voice say
"Hi...
I'm peace...you can sit next to me
My seat is empty "
I was so happy and glad that finally someone spoke to me
She was beautiful and light skinned with short hair.. she had a small ziz zag scar on her forehead which made her look distinctive
I knew she was going to be a long time friend
I placed my backpack next to her and sat down
"Thank you
Uhm..I'm iris... nice to meet you'
"Huh... Iris
You have a pretty name
Well you're pretty as well though "
I almost gasped... someone called me pretty
Apart from my mom and my patronizing uncles... no one ever called me pretty
Perhaps transferring wasn't a bad idea anyways
"What department are you majoring
Arts... science or commercial?" She asked
"Arts... I want to be a script writer" i timidly said
"Wow
I'm a science student... I want to study medicine
Let's get along well iris'
I smiled and nodded
I was happy.., the tension was fading
The next three periods went uneventful as no one paid attention to me
Everything was moving smoothly until the break for short break rang
Most of the students started making noise and I decided to bring out my diary to start writing how beautiful and amazing my day has been going
I took out the heavy brown book...placed it on my table and was looking for my pen when I saw a long slender hand on my diary..,
The hands snatched up my diary
I rose in alarm to look at the intruder's face to see the most handsome guy I had ever seen in my entire lifetime
He was fair skinned with brown hair and there was a birth mark on his throat
A ridiculous thought crossed my mind... I wanted to kiss the birth mark that was at the nape of his neck and slide my tongue round it
I felt my cheeks go red from my dirty thoughts
He moved closer to me... his face just a bit away from mine and I swore I couldn't breathe until he muttered
"You look like an Elephant up close!"
I opened my mouth like a surprised gold fish and couldn't close it
He moved closer with his wickedly handsome face and smirked
"Why won't you talk?
Are you dumb.."
I was still wounded from his harsh words that I couldn't say a way
He raised his eyes brows this time looking offended
"Don't you want to talk?"
"What's your name or I will call you Elephant?"
I wanted to argue when peace entered the classroom carrying a bottle of coke
She glanced at mr direction and obviously saw me looking terrified
I didn't know when she reached our table and pushed the guy away from my face
"Stay away from her Ronald...
Stop being an asshole
Stop bullying everyone who's quiet"
He shrugged and smiled again
"Peace is now a baby sitter
Or should I call her an elephant sitter..,?"
A group of boys behind him laughed loudly
It was then that I noticed that he was with a group of boys and they were all five in number including him
The all looked like him... tall .. handsome and wicked
"Well
I will come back for you elephant
If you need your book ... come meet me downstairs by the food shed during lunch break " Ronald said as the bell rang for the beginning of our fourth period
It was then I noticed that he took my diary with him as I saw it in his left hand
I felt alarmed and scared at the same time but there was a feeling of excitement which refused to leave my chest
"Sorry iris " peace said as he left
"I will get you your book back...
Ronald can be a bully sometimes but he only troubles those he likes
Maybe he likes you..."
My heart started racing this time
"Why would he like me
I'm just a big fat ugly girl " I said
Peace gasped...
"What the fuck did you just say Iris!
I haven't seen a girl my age with boobs your size
And you show deep dimples when you smile
You're bold and sexy
I wish I had your types of boobs"
I looked astonished
"Are you for real peace?
Am I that pretty "
Peace rolled her eyes
"Look at the mirror girlie
You don't even have a single pimple "
She was about to say more when the English teacher walked in...
As the class went on
I couldn't help but look forward to lunch time
