Chapter 46

We are in holidays. I had the certificates signed before the holidays. I gave them to one of my cousin to write them down. I did not include Mr. J. J. Fortune's signature because I was getting pissed off by him. He was telling me every day for my mother to stop poking her nose in the Science day and whenever my mother calls him he plays really nice. I did not tell my mother about it because how can I hurt my mother? I was planning with the decorations and I had already finished with my Welcome presentation and I had watched it over 30 times by now.

I sat down in the front row now. I do not sit in the old spot with Zarina. We are not in good terms anymore. After the incident took place that day, I called her mother to return the money and asked her if it is okay to send through your daughter or will you be coming to pick up the money. Zarina'a mother told me that we are still young and should stop fighting over petty things. No young kids would call her friend's mother a slut. No, I did not tell her that but I made clear that I will not get back together with her daughter and I will later on the science day give her a trophy for her sponsorship. Number one that her mother does not know about Zarina that well and she is playing fool with her mother or number two she knows her well and does not show it or number three Zarina is ruling her mother. Well I no longer have to care about it because I quit being her friend.

Sally sat next to me exhausted by all the drama. "I hope he stops coming behind me. Can you talk to him again? I am scared my parents will be mad at me." The friend of Mathew who was watching at Zarina was actually trying to get the attention of my dear friend, Sally. I turned towards him and watched him. He is following her again after I warned him to stop and also explained him that her parents will not approve of this and it is affecting her studies. He does not seem to listen and only cares about his feelings, more like it is his lust. If he loves her dearly he would try to understand the situation and act according to it. And more over he is pissed off with me because I told him love is being selfless and letting go. He is not going to. "Just focus on your studies. I will always be there for you." Sally is not that of a bright student but she is not bad either. She gets distracted quickly. She pulled out her lunch box and gave ma sandwich and started gobbling on hers. "(Italian guy's name) does not come now. I think he quit after talking ill of you." "He got his medicine now. Happy for him!"

The class finished after wholesome two hours. I stretched my hands and I heard my name whispered thrice. I did not turn behind to see who it was. I ignored. Then I heard my name again, they were definitely talking about me. One of my classmate was sitting behind. I turned behind to my classmate and asked a question that I knew the answer already. She started explaining and I pretended to listen. My ears over the guys who were talking about me, it was Mathew's friends- Mathew was not present today. I even got weird glances from some guys. I thanked my classmate and said bye. "What is wrong Anna?" Sally asked me after watching my behavior. "Nothing, I wanted to make sure that I understood it clearly." I did not want her to panic.

I came out of the class. I saw the admirer of Sally, with his bunch of hyenas. I felt eyes on me. I slid my bag on to my right shoulder. Then my eyes landed on an egg on the admirer of Sally. Sally had not yet left. I urged her to leave now with her friends. "What is wrong?" "Just leave, I will tell you tomorrow." Sally left. But her admirer waited not like before. I watched him and he saw that I was watching him. When our eyes met, I slowly moved my eyes towards the egg he held in his hands and then back to his eyes. I gave him a deadly stare and walked towards him.

It was early in the morning. None of the birds are awake yet. I wanted to go to the store to get some groceries. Dongmin was off to a shoot last night. Above all I am so hungry from all the writing I did yesterday night for today's reveal. I am going on live at noon when all the people will have time to watch and also my dear fellow member who posted it.

My phone rang. I grabbed it and opened. Sally had send me a link with a message written under, 'Check quickly'. I clicked the link, it directed me to a post written in stwitter. It read, 'In my experience regarding Anna in our Advanced Level days she was very bossy and nosy. She use to involve in her friends matters. I once proposed to a friend of hers and she came forward and kept replying and swearing at me. She did not let her friend talk with me. She was taking all the decisions and she was ruling her life. I was shocked to hear that she was a CEO if a company, I pity the employees there. This is my experience.' I laughed at the post. I replied to Sally, 'His post has no beginning nor ending. It is a mess. I will look after it. I still have the messages he sent me in my stargram. Take Care. I will be always there.' He was not only threating me but also Sally, he was digging the past as well he is digging his grave.

I slid the phone in to my pocket and put on my coat since it was early in the morning. I breathed out from my mouth to see fog forming from my breath. I heard footsteps behind me. I did not turn, I headed straight to the market. I bought the groceries that we were short of. I saw three girls buying three dozens of eggs. That gaze was just similar to Mathew's friend. I stared at her for a while and went to the cashier to bill up my groceries.

My both hands were full and the sun is almost out. It was no longer cold but I still kept my coat on. I heard few footsteps that were walking towards me in a hurry. I clenched on my bags. The bags became heavier with the sound of more footsteps. Something flew towards me and it fell on the ground. It was an egg. The hunter missed me. I just stepped forward towards my home, I did not dare to turn. Three eggs flew towards me. I missed me and the other two landed on my coat with a crack sound and dripped along my coat. The egg wetted my heels. Why am I running away?

I held my ground and turned back at the hens who were throwing their eggs. "If those eggs are for me, can I get them in a bag? I forgot to buy them" I said with an eyebrow lifted. "You shameless witch. How dare you seduce Dongmin? Go back to your country" A girl around seventeen years old yelled at me and boy beside her threw an egg fast at me. I dogged it and walked a little closer to them. There were five of them. Three girls and two boys. "Kids, I think you should stop meddling things like these without even knowing the truth. And Dongmin is not a fool to be seduced by me. He knew who he is going to spend his life with. You better go to school, if not you will get punished for not attending the morning classes." I grabbed an egg from the girl who was silent through the conflict. I cracked the egg on my head and waited till the egg drip down. "Hurry now." The two girls clasped their hands to their mouth and the other looked at me with wide eyes. One of the boys gulped and the other said, "You are insane!" I smiled at him and replied, "I agree with you on this. I am insane to keep running away and not taking consideration of things they do to me. You will get news this evening. Annyeong! (Bye in Korean language)" I turned my head with the shells on top of my head and headed back home.

I put my clothes to wash and ran the shower. I stood there for a minute staring at the wall below the shower head. What am I doing? I clapped my palms on my face and sat on the floor hugging my knees. May be I should not have got married to Dongmin. But I do not want to leave him in any means. I sobbed for five minutes and turned off the shower, put on new clothes with a mild of cologne and a gold necklace. I sighed and opened the stargram. I am going to go live. Sometimes being quiet, letting go and thinking that they will change for good does not apply for everyone. Sometimes you got to take action.

"What happened last class? Why did you said me to go home quickly?" Sally asked me after I sat down on my seat. "It was nothing. Your admirer was holding an egg." Her eyes widened. "For whom?" "For me." "Did he do something?" "No, I stared at him and left. He did not follow." He slid on her chair with a sigh and replied, "That is why he did not follow me home last Sunday. Did you do the essay?" I nodded and gave my paper to her to copy down. Daniel came in. He went past me. I glared at his broad and attractive back. His backs was one of the hot backs I have seen. He sat down and I was still looking at him. I slowly looked at his veins that were trying to burst from his arms. I sighed. Sally looked at me. I smiled, I still do have a little feelings left for him after all.

Class began. Sir handed me booklets to pass them around and keep the extra at the table in front of me. I passed them around and the extras came back. I kept the booklets in front of me. And I wanted to keep some of my things and I had no space so I placed them on the table in front next to the extra booklets. One of Daniel's classmates came to in late. He is rather a cute guy, very adorable. I know. I know. It is true, he is absolute cuteness. He did not come last week also. His friend gestured to take the booklets from the table in front of me. He got up and took the booklet that sir gave just now and the last week booklet which was mine. I looked at him go with my eyes wide open. He flipped the booklet and saw my name on top. He quickly stood back up and returned said, 'sorry'. I smiled at him. He went back to his seat and started punching his friend who told to take the booklets from the table in front. He was being goofy for the next five minutes.

Sir came in after ten minutes and gave us another essay to write on the spot. He came around me and took the extra booklets and mine as well. "Sir! Sir! That is mine." He looked at it and gave it back to me. After ten minutes another girl came in late and came to the desk infront of me to get a booklet and once again my booklet was taken away from. I reached my arm to get hold of the girl's arm and said that it was mine. Sally could not hold her laughter and grabbed my things from the front desk and put next to her, "It will be safe here and seems like everyone knows that you are secretary of Sir." "N.O. No, I am not!" I whispered back to her.

The class was over finally. I and Sally came out. Our eyes landed on Zarina. She was chilling with the Annoying Guys and Sally's friends who are not my friends nor Sally's anymore. I really do not know why they started hating Sally. Daniel called out to me, "Anna!" Before turning towards him I checked if Zarnia noticed. She was watching. I waved back at Daniel, "Yeah?" He held out some papers towards me, "Here are some papers I think that they are useful for you." "Thanks!" I flipped the papers and nodded and slid the papers in to my bag and turned to face Zarina and I lef
