Pain that no one is aware of

BEFORE

ANAPHERA

"Can I take a nap" Rammy whispered into my ears and I rapidly shake my head.

"Not while Mrs. Rosie taking her class" I said in a warning tone.

She made a face before letting it fall by a yawn "bullshit"

"Take that with you" I muttered.

It's no wonder that she is tired. Not when after getting drunk like a idiot yesterday night and crawling all way back to the dorm like a snake but to my sympathy I gave her a piggy back.

Anyway nothing ended so easily, she couldn't make it up to the building by climbing the tree or by the help of rope ladder. At first I really got scared since all of them were drunk except Rayn and Astro. So Rayn and Astro helped everyone to get into their dorm by ease but Rammy's condition were the worst she couldn't even stand on her feet and as a result I decided not to take the risk of getting inside the dorm by climbing and it finally ended up in me and her staying out of the building the whole night in cold and non of my drunken friends realised it until the next morning which turned out to be today.

The whole period passed in me and Rammy trying our best not to pass out in the middle of the class and when the class came to an end we had no idea when we fall asleep in the class even though Rammy and I had two different periods in two separate classes.

When I opened my eyes it took me some seconds to adjust with the light that attacked me from each sides and when I got used to it, I was caught by an pair of electric blue eyes that stared directly back to mine without a pause.

Hours like minutes ran in which I couldn't look away due his intense stare into my eyes and I even forgot about the world which was still running.

"What's going on back there" A rough voice breakthrough my ears leading me to almost jump off from my seat.

When my throat dried "Nothing" Astro answered for me.

"Good" my uncle muttered and I gave him a apologetic look causing him to pass a small smile at me.

When he turned back his attention, the first thing I remembered was the Rammy who slept beside me. I glanced beside me to check Rammy who I expect to be still asleep but to my surprise she wasn't even there.

"Hey, where's Rammy??" I asked to the person who must've know the answer.

Frowning he said "Mr. Matthew dismissed her back to her class" Astro said.

"Oh"

"Hey, he send Rammy back to her class but hadn't mind you sleeping in the class and even said me not to interrupt you, can you say the reason"

"Not you concern, Coen" I murmured bringing out a irritated look from him.

"Albers, I don't mind you answering for a simple question" he said and I sat quiet not ready to open my mouth.

"Please" he begged.

"Shut up, please" I snapped back.

"So mean" he muttered.

"Dimwit"

When it was lunch time, all my friends were gathered around our table and I was walking towards them when somebody stopped me.

"Hey, Anaphera" I turned behind of me to find the one and only stupid Lucy ken and rest of the Stardust.

I rolled my eyes at her and her  friends. Instantly irritated by their presences.

She smirked at me "don't get mad Anaphera, you'll lose the shit"

"First Hold Your Shit Together Lucy" I muttered. Disgustise taking all over my face as I stared her.

"Having a good time with Astro Coen" she ask leading me to stand astonised. Wow. Now I got where she was going.

"Hey, you here" she said waving her hands infront of my face but it was threw up back by someone behind me.

"She. Us. Astro Coen is 'gravity'. I think you got me lucy dust" The person who said was Rammy with rest of my friends on her back with smirks.

Turning back to Lucy I muttered "like I always says please take down the above word from the dust and than I'll appreciate you"

Scowling with rest of her friends she stood there embarassed while we all came back to our table in after getting the whole attention of the cafeteria.

I took a seat next to Henry because I wanted to talk with him "hey" I said.

"Hey charmer" he said back. Charmer was the nickname he gave me.

"I missed you" I said. His smile widened as he looked at me with affection.

"I missed you too" he said back not taking the smile that he was passing throughtout-ly.

The rest of the lunch go in peace with me talking to Henry about all the stupid stuffs that I could say and like always he said me in return with many stupid stuffs including his volleyball practices and the upcoming matches. He was my big brother that I ever had.

Why he is not coming?? Why he is not coming?? My head was speaking the same as Mrs Simmons continued with her lesson.

Today was suppose to be the expo of Nathania and later we need to shoot videos and photos for the school paper. So I was impatiently waiting for ford to come and pick me. Let me tell you one thing :- The members of school paper have one advantage, we can get out of class whenever we want but should never end up in trouble.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Simmons" ford voice ignited through my ears and my eyes rapidly laid on him standing in the doorway.

Mrs Simmons greeted him back with a nod.

"Can I take editor Anna with me" he said vomitting his words and continuing "I mean Anaphera Albers"

As he finished I hadn't waited for Mrs Simmons to answer. So I got out of the class but while getting out something caught my attention. A pair of electric blue eyes.

Getting out of the class I lifted my head to take a proper look at ford "hey, long days no meet" I asked.

"Yeah. I think I waited for you, storm and talon yesterday but no see" he said.

"Oh no sorry!! Yesterday we actually had a runaway"

He laughed at my sound than ruffled my hair "A party"

"Hmm. Hmm"

After climbing through the stairs we made our walk to the class hall, where Nathania is having her expo.

Getting inside the room I smiled at zooa and stella talking to cordon and Stephen. Like always the room was filled with the crafts of Nathania. Her one year hardwork. Last year we had the same expo. This expo is conducted every year to appreciate the crafters of the school and that is our content for tomorrow's school paper.

"Hey natha" ford called causing nathania smile to get widen.

"Ford & Anna" she smiled genuinely.

"Your work is good" I said.

Turning from her I looked all over the crafts she did. Anyone could buy the handmade goods from her for a particular rate and after the expo it would be delivered to the persons who brought it.

My eyes were travelling through the crafts she made while my ears were on the person next to me.

"You really is great natha" said Paxton. One of the member from The Spartans . About all I know about The Spartans, Paxton is the good one. A really good one. I hadn't interacted with him until now than having a nice simple conversation but he is a good guy and from what I knew he is a fanboy of Nathania.

Neglecting my ears from them I Scanned my eyes across the hall and finally it get laid on Paxton.

"Hey Anna" he called.

"Hi, uh, Paxton" I said literally acting like I don't remember his name.

"Hm, you got it right" he said back with a genuine smile.

"Yeah"

"I would really like to have a cup of coffee with you. maybe soon" he said and I offered a smile knowingly.

"Maybe without the eyes of your friends on us" I joked and he laughed.

"Sure" like that he waved me off  including Nathania.

I watched him getting off the room while I caught someone intense gaze on me. The electric eyes.

"So, uh, I would like to know what's going on between Paxton and-" Nathania mouthed but I was too fast to cover her mouth with my hands. Biting my hands lightly, she was too hurry to burst in laugh.

She laughed so hard looking at my almost embarassed face but the laugh hadn't stay longer when the atmosphere of the room changed.

Everyone in the hall had a amused smile on their face but more like a insulting smile.

Nathania rushed out of the room with me following her and than the smile in her face faded deeply noticing the door of the hall.

It was pasted with a note saying NATHANIA IS AN ASSHOLE!!

I watched tears dwelling upon her eyes and with that she ran from there.

I hadn't wanted to follow her but I was just afraid of thinking 'what if things ended in a wrong way' so I ran back of her with my foots rushing each steps.

When she stopped in her track I slowly followed her. Wondering what's going on??

She get into an empty class and I was helpless to follow her into the class so I eavesdrop.

I heard someone, standing on their feet noticing her presence "Natha" The person said.

"Hell, can I know what I did so wrong to you" she yelled at the person infront her like throwing draggers.

"What you're talking about" the person said in a clam and quite voice except from her hard and rough voice, which myself heard for the first time. Somehow I realised the person she was talking to. It was no one else than Ray.

"You don't know what I'm talking about. when the hell you really realised what I was talking??" Now she was crying a hint of pain running through her voice.

"What's the matter?? just admit it" I heard him taking some footsteps forward.

"What the matter" he repeated yet in a calm voice.

"All I want is you to stay away from me and my life Ray" she burst into tears storming off from the class and running somewhere else. So I did follow her.

I noticed she was aiming to the washroom and When she get herself into the washroom. She sobbed her heart out while I noticed her feets were shaking uncontrollably.

"Natha" I called out. Wasting no time to reach her and wrap my arms around her.

I ruffled her back up and down in a slow motion comforting her in a way that I could.

"Calm down, calm down" I whispered into her hair and slowly her breathes were coming in position.

"It's hard to hate him Anna" she said breathing hard like her breath would leave any second.

"It's okay that you like him natha, it's okay, everything is okay" I assured.

She nodded her head in appeal before retiring from the hug.

"Let's stay here until you completely feel okay" I said putting both my hands on the shoulder of her.
