Remorse and forgiveness

You know I studied in 5th grade that we carry the weight of 2 elephants on our shoulders because of atmospheric pressure . But today I feel like I am carrying dinosaurs in my back or bunch of blue whales . In short , I am burdened by my own guilt .

Serena isn't with me today . Thus I am entering school all alone today which is kind of lonely .

" Hey , M . I was trying to find you . ", Claire .

Claire has bruises all over her body . Her arms are bruised , her face is swollen and she looks tired .

" Oh my God . Serena really beat you . ", I told her .

" Tell me about it . She is a monster . Normal people don't have so much strength . Now I can't prank that annoying red headed girl . ", she gritted .

" I think we should stop pranking people . Don't you remember what happened last year . ", I said .

" Yeah , that was really amusing . " , Claire .

" Yeah what happened to you is also very hilarious . ", I retorted .

" Hey , Serena beat me up . That is not amusing at all . ", Claire .

" You know she David is pretty badly injured . ", she said.

" I am really sorry . I didn't this would happen . ", I said .

" What ? You actually apologised . You ' The great Myra asked for my forgiveness ' --- This thing will be recorded in history in golden words . ", Claire rambled .

" Clearly , Serena didn't beat you enough to knock some senses into you . ",I said .

" You are very mean , M . ", she sighed .

" I was never nice , Pumpkin princess . ", I said .

At this Claire laughed hard . Yeah , sometimes she can behave like a bipolar psycho . That is Claire .

" Oh my God . You are very injured . Serena is very scary . ", Lucas popped out of nowhere .

" Yeah , I am . ", Claire .

" But what she did is absolutely plausible . Even I would have done that . Lily fainted because of you . ", Lucas declared .

" No one asked for your judgement , Mr Majnu . ", Claire mocked .

" Who is Majnu ? ", Lucas asked .

" Seriously , how much dumb can you get . Layla ; Majnu is another tragic love story like Romeo ; Juliet . ", Claire .

Yeah that was very important knowledge that all of us should have .

My reverie and all senses halted when I saw Serena walking with Lily .

Oh my God. What am I gonna do ? Should I ask for her forgiveness ? What if she never forgives me ? Then what ? I am really scared . Lily looks pale . I don't know why she is so scared but I know what I did was not right .

Forget it for now . I will first attend my class .

" Good morning ", Amara .

How could I forgot that she is also here . Man she is so annoying . Annoying enough to drive me crazy within a second . How can someone be so annoying ? I wonder .

After a while :

Our Maths teacher is here . We have to study Vectors . I am actually familiar with the concept because of physics but I know that ---

Suddenly Amara fell backwards along with the bench on which we were sitting and of course I also fell with her . Ouch , it hurts. Seriously ...What is wrong with her ? When we fell whole Class started laughing instead of helping us out. Typical teenagers .

I think we should have separate classes for moral lessons .

" You alright ? ", Maths teacher .

I tried to get up but my legs weren't much helpful .

" Oh my God Myra . You are legs are scratched .", Amara .

Of course I am injured I fell sideways .

" Come on girls , help Myra to get up . ", teacher .

Then finally some girls helped me out and took me to the dispensary .

" Oh my . Your hurt pretty badly . ", the nurse .

She is applying ointment on my knees .Damn it stings .

" You should rest on the hospital bed . ", nurse .

Although I am fine but sleeping in the school was a tempting idea . I will lie on the bed for a while .

" Myra , its you . "

Oh no . Its Lily .

" Yeah I got hurt . What are doing here ? ", I asked.

" Yeah , I wasn't feeling well . ", she said .

Say it Myra . Say that you are sorry . Its now or never . Come on , Myra. Don't behave like a loser .Ok , here I go .

" I am sorry --- ", as soon as I said that I felt my voice was echoed .Only after a while I realised that Lily also apologised .

" Why are you asking for forgiveness ? Myra what I said was way out of line . ", Lily .

" And what I did was also out of the line . ", I said .

" So , we cool ? " , Lily

" Yeah for now we are . ", I said .

" Well , I am feeling better now so I will leave the room . You should rest on a bed. You are badly injured .", Myra as she left .

I should try to sleep for a while .

TWO HOURS LATER :

" Myra , Myra get up --- ", the familiar voice .

I opened my eyes to see Sam leaning closer to me . Then I remember that he asked me to announce literature better than science in the auditorium . Is he here for that ? He can 't be ?

" Myra , what happened ? ", Sam .

Judging from his concerned face he is not here for that . But its Sam we are talking about . He is a weirdo .

" Yeah , I just fell down from the bench .", I said .

Then I saw Serena was standing behind him with folded arms . She was wearing same clothes as yesterday . She looked pretty tired as well .

" I talked with Lily . She said that she isn't mad anymore but let me warn you . I am still mad at you . ", Serena in a serious tone .

" Oh come on . Cut it out . ", Sam .

" Seriously ,she doesn't know anything about Lily . She doesn't know what she has gone through . ", Serena .

" Wow , its first time . I have never seen her like that . Her voice reflects the pain she is feeling . I can literally feel that she really cares about Lily . And for a moment I feel jealous . I wish someone cared for me like that besides my mom .

" I am sorry . ", I said.

" You should be . And next time you do something like that be careful because your actions can really hurt someone . ", Serena spat .

" Oh come on , stop it now . Well , Myra classes are over . You should go home with Serena .", Sam .

" Its okay . Serena you should be with Lily for now . She needs you . ", I said .

" Oh yeah , then how will you go home . ", Serena .

" I -- I ---".

Well , I don't know what to say . But Serena's words hurt pretty badly . She has never been rude to me hence it hurts . No Myra you can't cry . 🥺🥺🥺. You are a strong woman . You can't but I can feel tears rolling down from my cheeks wetting white bed sheets underneath me .
