Disappear

I strode to find an empty seat with the tray in my hands, Cree waved at me from the end of the cafeteria.

I smiled and hurried to meet him only to get caught on the feet with a leg that was stretched out.

I fell with the tray and the food spilling on the floor. I heard tittering around me, I groaned and tried to stand up when a chicken soup was poured on my hair.

I gasped.

“Are you scared?” Berlin laughed and kicked me over the ribs with her sneakers.

“Get up, you’re no fun!” She yelled. I groaned with my hand at the side of my ribs that was hitting like crazy.

“That’s no way to say ‘thank you for saving my ass’ back there in class. You’re doing too much Berlin...” a hand stopped her from slapping over the head.

I slowly lift myself from the ground.

“Let go of me you Idoit!” She struggled to break free from Cree’s hold.

“This is a warning.” I stared at Cree, his eyes were not the brown eyes I knew as it turned dark with rage. His face was hardened and a low threatening growled escaped his throat.

I stared at my best friend, like a stranger.

Berlin face turned white with fright. I shook my head maybe I was hallucinating, there was no way, his eyes could change.

I got on my feet and ran out of the cafeteria, with my stained uniform and hair. I was blindly to the restroom. Splashing waters on my face.

What was this?

“Hey, Twinkle.” He called on the door.

“Ain’t you done yet, I brought you, your P.E clothes.” There was hesitation in his voice.

I stood up from the toilet seat and opened the door, he stretched out the clothes and I took them and shut the door again.

“I wanna be alone.” I whispered with my back leaned against it.

“I’m sorry.” He breathed out.

I shook my head even when I knew he couldn’t see me, it wasn’t his fault it happened, I was bullied before he came to Quinns High.

“It’s not your fault.” I took in a sharp breath and tried to keep my tears at bay.

I moved away from the door and sat down with my head buried behind my legs, muffling my cries.

Mom say I was different, that different people get to change the world.

I knew it was all a lie to make me feel better.

I was no different, I was simply a weirdo, with violet eyes that want to disappear from this town.
