62. The Programme

Some guy from arts department is chosen to be the announcer but his eloquence doesn't look so great . All members of our club are asked to be on the duty . Hence we are standing in the auditorium . I am so tired . I want to go home . I wonder when its going to end . Oh the skit has started . People from drama cub will perform the skit . Come on , Myra you can do this . Just bear it for 2 hours and then it will be over . You can do it Myra .

" Stop yawning .", Claire whispered in my ear .

Oh no someone is talking . I have to stop them .Oh no , boys are making noise . Now , I have to talk to some random teenage boys who won't probably listen to me .

" Hey , keep quiet . ", I said .

" And why should we listen to you ? ", some idiot .

" Because you will be suspended if you don't . And those are principal's orders not mine . ", I say .

It worked they are quiet . I didn't know that I can lie like that but then again those idiot boys were too young .

Oh no , someone is using phone to shoot video .

" Don't shoot any videos or else your phones will be confiscated ! ", teacher shouted .

As if these empty threats can stop them . Now that I think everyone in the auditorium is talking. Its a complete chaos . Well I think I can't blame them when I want to sleep right here .

AFTER A WHILE :

Finally the programme ended , now I can finally go home .

I am going home on foot all alone because Serena is still not well . She will stay at Lily's for a while . It has been a long and tiring day . I feel better than before . Today sky is looks so bright . Since its evening , faint crescent moon has already appeared in the sky . It looks more enchanting because of white clouds painted in the sky .Even though its evening I can still feel warm air suffocating me .

" I said give me the money ,man ! "

I hear someone shouting .

" Please don't take it . I don't have that much money left for myself . Dad is going to kill me . "

" Then don't go home . Come with me . Remember I live in jail ."

I don't know what is going on but its the voice of a boy and girl . The girl of my age is bullying a weak teenage guy for money . He looks younger than me . But instead of helping him out people are laughing at him .

" I can 't do that Samantha . You know that . ", boy pleaded .

" Really , do I ? No , I don't . Come on , give me the damn money then you can get lost . " girl pushing the guy on floor .

Why isn't anyone helping him ? It seems like instead of helping him they are mocking him relentlessly regardless of the boy feels . This is ridiculous I have to do something . But why ? This is none of my business I can easily walk off . No one will care . But what if that guy ends up doing something stupid like Nora .

" Hey , my friend leave him alone . ", I said .

" Why is he your lover ? ", the girl mocked .

" No , but I can clearly see that you are hurting him . Stop it before I call the police . ", I said .

" And do what ? ", the girl .

" What are you going to ? Huh , nerd . ", the girl .

" Seriously , what is wrong with you guys ? She is bullying that young boy over there and you have all gathered here to enjoy yourself . Its like you are not even humans anymore . ", I shouted .

Seriously, its so frustrating . Why are humans like this ? Why are we so sick ?

But before anyone could say anything police arrived and the girl was taken to the police station . Apparently she is a repeated offender who is often imprisoned .

Anyway , I still felt bad for the boy who was beaten up by that hooligan . Hence I went to talk to him .

" Are you okay ? ", I ask .

" Yeah I am . ", he says.

He looked so unaffected that ...Its like he is used to it . He looked dead on the inside . I wish I could help him . Anyway , I will go home .

I am finally home .

" Miss Myra . You are late today ? ", Miss Maria .

" Yeah we had this programme at school . ", I say .

" Oh , you should eat something first or - ", Miss Maria .

" Miss Maria , do you want to dance with me ? ", I ask her all of a sudden .

" What ?! ", she is startled .

" Yeah let us dance . You and me . ", I say .

I open my mobile phone and start music to dance .

Its my favourite song :

Whenever I see her

My heart stops

My eyes wonder

Who are you

Who am I

Where are we ?

" Please ...", I offer her my hand and we start dancing in a weird way .

She is moving her hips and waist while I am sprinting . Man I am totally crazy .

Miss Maria is laughing with me .🤣🤣🤣I must look very funny because now instead of dancing she is just laughing at me .

"Oh my God , Miss Myra my stomach hurts . " Miss Maria .

AFTER A WHILE :

For an hour hour I forgot that I was very tired and sleepy but now that I am in my room I suddenly remember because my whole body is in pain like someone has beaten me up with an iron rode . Anyway , I am going to rest for while before I pass out .

Why is my phone ringing ? I don't want to pick it up . Oh my God its running once again . Just let me sleep , will you ? Finally , I give up and wake up to pick up the phone .

" Hello , Myra . Have you watched the news . ", Claire .

" No, I was sleeping . Let me sleep . ", I tell her .

" Just open the internet and check the college group . ", Claire .

Seriously , why do I have to open the net when she can tell me what is going on .

But I open the phone to see a message from the school group which says another girl from our school has committed suicide .
