The novel 3...

  While the class was ongoing, Doreen and Clara were busily chatting happily. They didn't even give an ear to what the teacher was talking about. All that they were doing was talking, since they thought they were better than all of us in the class and they were intelligent too.

    I wanted to tell them to keep quiet and listen to what the teacher was saying maybe they can hear something that will be useful for them in our next mock.  But then I remember how there have been treating me and I forget about it. Whether they pass or not, that was none of my business.

    Today I mind up my mind not to give my note to them if they are not serious I don't care about that. They should learn to be serious about themselves. If I do that and they don't talk to me I don't care. I came to this school alone and I will leave alone too.

   I wasn't even sure what they were talking about has anything to do with what the teacher was talking about. I decided not to give my ears to them and continue writing my notes but I heard a name that made me interested in what they were saying. Although I was listening to them but was still writing my notes.

  They were talking about Kelly, the guy we all met the previous day. I was thinking about what they must be saying about him. They just met him yesterday and they were already talking about him. I wonder what they will talk about him.

   "Doreen do you know that Kelly is one of the most famous musician's sons". Clara said gigglingly happily like a child who just got his birthday gift and can't wait to see what was inside.  " Ooh please spare me your lies.. I don't believe you since I know you".

     Doreen changed the happy expression on her face.  " Hello, girl,..why will I lie to you, if you don't believe me, you can go and search for it yourself and if you find the truth don't come begging me, ".she said and hissed.  Then she turned her back on Doreen.

   I never knew about that and if he was truly a musician's son, then I think he is always happy and will always have peace unlike me. Some people have a very peaceful life I guess.

     While some were having a great time, I was always having a bad time. Either pain will make me sad or sorrow will make me cry.

    When the bell rang for the second break, I got up and left the class with my books in my bag and everything well packed then I noticed that those two Queens were not there. I thought of where they will be but I couldn't figure out anything so I just left the class.

  Just a mile walk away from our class, I saw them standing halfway to the assistant head office. I wonder what they were doing there. It will have been better if I had just walked past them and go my way. "Hi girls ".  I said but I heard no answer from them, no one mind me.

   That should have been enough for me to stay away but I try talking again and this time they both pushed me with a force that sent me straight to the floor.

  "How could you ..uh...how could do this to us ....you are a treater ". What was she talking about? And what did I do? Just then Doreen backed her up.  "Yh how could you report to the teacher that we weren't paying attention in class".  Seriously I don't know what they were talking about.

  "Ooh, heavens girls I don't know what you two are talking about okay.. are you telling me you didn't see me sitting there where you left the class". I said trying to define myself.

  That even worsted their wounds.  They hold me up and threw me to the floor again. ", Hey girl if you think you are smart then not on us okay... Clara said looking at me as if I committed a crime. she held me up by herself and this time she pushed me with a kind of force I couldn't even explain. I fell on my back but I hit my ankle on the stairs.

   I injured my ankle and I couldn't stand up on my own.  suddenly, a hand from nowhere grabbed me on my waist assisting me to stand up. I looked up to see who it was and to my outermost surprise, it was the guy from yesterday.

   He saved me yesterday and today too.  I was even thinking that he was just a devil who wanted to separate me from those so call friends.  He helped me up and asked me if I was okay I told him am fine.

   They were laughing when they saw me falling to the floor but the laughing on their face was wrapped of by jealousy when they saw Kelly holding me, I could tell from their changed expression that seems like a child whose ice cream had fallen from its cup. They were looking like they have been forced to do something.

  "What the hell just happened here..what did she do to you two that made you push her with such force". He asked them with a hint of anger in his voice. I told him it was nothing, he should just forget about them and let go but still insist on telling them something but I stopped him.

"I'm sorry I didn't see her". Clara said and faked a smile.

Did she just say that she didn't see me? Wow, they are so much I even gave them thumbs up in my head. These girls here can even lie for heaven to come down.

I think Doreen use to talk about her boyfriend, why was she here crushing on another guy? I'm praying that his guy finds out early and does something about it or else she will cheat on him.

  "Please girls when you are doing something like that next time think twice before you do okay or else you will hurt someone "

  All of a sudden he carried me in his arms, my mind went blank, and I was unable to think well nor was I able to breathe properly.  Where on earth was I founding myself at that moment? His unearthly scent filled my nose with lust.

  I quickly erase those bad thoughts I was having from my mind. He took me to the school sick bay and quickly call a nurse to attend to me.

  "Please is nothing I will be okay just go back to what you were doing". I told him.

  "Ooh don't worry I wasn't doing anything that important...I was only walking around and I came across you guys. What happened "

  He asked me.  "Well, they said I have reported them to the teacher about not paying attention in class...but I don't remember saying that"

"They must be troublesome people ".

"Yh but they are the only people who talk to me in this school "

   "You mean you don't have friends "

  "Ooh I have two friends "

"Them..."?

"No"

  "Then who are they"

"They are pain and sorrow "

"Why are you saying that "

  "Because they are the only ones who have been my friend ever since I lost my memory "

"You mean you have lost of memory problem?".

  "Yes and I'm waiting for dead to come and carry me away "

  "Don't say that.. why are you saying that"

  "You see how the nurse has healed the wound on my ankle immediately?".

"Yes"

  "Because she can only heal the wounds on my ankle but not the pain am feeling inside my heart "

"If you don't mind can you tell me your name "

"Am call Bella"

"Nice name, but Bella why do you wish yourself dead"

  "Because I don't even remember my parents"

  " but that shouldn't be your excuse to kill your self, I will encourage you not to do that but to put yourself together okay... anyway if you don't mind can you tell me what happened to you "

I was just about to tell him what happened to me but pain whispered into my ears.

" hahaha my little angel don't mind him, he is just pretending to care for you but is a big lie. I bet you that he will also leave you in a mess like how everyone is doing to you. if you like give him a chance and see how he will destroy your life...my dear don't listen to him okay, listen to me..haha". pain said and laughed.

By then, the nurse was done dressing my wound. with anger from what pain just said I stood up and rushed out of the sick bay.

" hey wait where are you going...I don't think your wound has been healed yet". I heard Kelly saying but I didn't mind him and went out.

just a mile away from the bay, I saw Doreen and Clara standing outside the door as if they care. I run past them and Kelly run after me but I was far ahead of him.

I went to my class and took my bag and went out of the school for it was already closing time.

After walking for a while, I came across a beautiful garden then I decided to find somewhere to sit and have a great view of the garden. " What are you doing to your self Bella, don't stress yourself out. Just forget about everything and die, I think that will end your suffering for life. don't you want that too"?". Pain giggled.

  "Yh I think I should give in to pain anyway, 'cause I can't even remember my childhood life, I can't even remember anything. What is the meaning of living in this world when I  can't even remember a thing about my past....and all that I remember is..is ... the horrible thing that happened to me that day".

      I told myself and gave in a deep breath. All those years that have come to pass I remember only one thing.  That is how I lost my memory. And that is the only thing I remember now., I have tried all I could to stop thinking about it but still, it keeps reminding itself. Sometimes I just feel like throwing myself down the hills and die. Then there will be no more pain no more sorrow no more fake friends.

Life is not fair to me I think I should just end it here and now, then everything will be at peace".

I stood up to walked to the main road and to get hit by a car.  But someone quickly hold me back, I wasn't standing at a perfect place so I twisted my leg and was about to fell down, when I fell into his wide arms. He look straight into my eyes and I also looked at his. He brought me up and made me sat down.

   He then took his handkerchief and clean my tears. I didn't even realize that I was crying.

" Kelly Why did you hold me back". I said in an angry voice.  That was Kelly who hold me back.

He didn't mind me, and neither did he take his eyes off me.

  " Why did you hold me back..uh..."

  He was still quiet.

"Why are you not answering me, Kelly"

"Because I don't know what to tell you "

"Then you should have allowed me to end my miserable life "

"Don't even think of that, are you out of your sense ". I began to cry when he started scolding me.

  "Do you even know how much your life cost, do you...if you know you won't have been here talking nonsense ". He kneeled on his knees and took my hands then he look at my face and said.

"Bella if you are thinking that there is a second chance somewhere, then you are making a big fool out of yourself... cause there is no second Chance"

He said and pulled me closed to himself, so closed that I heard his hot breath on my neck then he said.

"will you like to tell me what happened to you.. please only what you remember okay". He then stood up and sat beside me still holding my hands.

"And why are you still holding my hands".I told him when I saw that he wasn't ready to let go of my hands.

"I'm afraid maybe if I leave your hands you will run off". He said with a pity face.

"Don't worry I won't go anywhere "

"Are you sure"

"Yh"

"Okay then tell me what happened to you that made you lost your memories"

I looked up at him and smiled, then I begian to tell him what happened on that day which had been printed in my memories forever. I Can't remember anything apart from that day.

"Is a day that I don't think even if God come I won't forget". I said.
