Melissa's POV

I insulted him in front of the whole school. My bad.

But, I really don't want him screwing his life trying to befriend me.

Enough thinking about him! You have other important things to do!

Days roll by in a flash. Parker and I have been ignoring each other. He is usually seen with Hazel and her crew .He seems happy.

But it's not like I care!

But he was the only person who tried being friendly with me! My heart says.

I have remained friendless and will continue doing the same. My mind says on the other hand.

I ignore everything and continue studying.

In between the Chemistry class, I suddenly feel sick and put my heads down on the bench.

Hazel's voice speaks in a loud voice "Mr Han, the topper is sleeping in your class! How rude of her. She must be punished !".

Does she have no life other than seeing what other's are up to?

Can't she just listen to the class and leave me alone for at least once?

Why always me?!

Now I need to answer in front of the whole class.

Mr Han comes up to me and asks "What happened Melissa? Are you unwell?"

"Yes Sir. I am feeling a little sick. Maybe due to the food I had this morning" .

"Please take care. You can go to the dormitory and rest" He says.

As I start getting up, I hear a husky voice speak. I immediately recognize the voice .

It's Parker's!

"I will take her to the sick room Mr Han".

"Sure. Please accompany her ." Mr Han voices.

Hazel interrupts their conversation and says "I will take Melissa to the dorm Mr Han! Parker is new to the school, he doesn't know the way to sick room. Moreover I am closer to Melissa. I will give take her there."

Ha!ha! Hazel and me are friends! When did that happen? Oh please I understand your vile intentions. Spare me. I am not interested in him nor your friendship! I brood.

Hazel holds my hand and acts friendly in front of Mr Han and accompanies me out of the class.

As soon as we go a little distance, she shoves me hard towards the wall and twists my hand in a painful angle.

I moan in pain.

"Stay away from Parker! He is mine. " She says and walks away.

I don't have the strength nor any mood to fight back. So, I walk towards the dorm.

Nurse Gemma is a kind hearted human being. She is the only friend I have at school.

She is the only person who had never shown any sort of discrimination and had been there for me when I needed.

I often end up in the sick room when I am bullied and Nurse Gemma is always considerate enough in taking care of me and hiding the scars I get due to the pranks played on me with her medications.

"Melissa? What's wrong sweetheart?"

"I am not feeling very well Gemma. Maybe the food I had in the morning didn't suit me ."

She immediately takes me over to the bed and gives me some tablet and soothes me by caressing my stomach.

I start to feel good and fall asleep.

"You will not tell mom nor dad about this. I will stop this myself. Give me some time! " a voice says.

Okay I will give you some time but if you don't stop it, I have no choice! "

Sweetheart? Melissa what happened? Melissa! Nurse Gemma wakes me up by patting my cheeks hard.

Sweat trickles down my forehead.

"Had a bad dream ? "

I nod my head and drink water. The voice keeps ringing in my ears and I gulp down the water fast.

"I will be right here with you dear. Lie down on my lap."

"No, I am fine. I better rush to the class." I utter and hurry out of the room.

I have been having these dreams from the past 3 years. This is the dark part of my life and I don't want anybody to know about it.

Ironically, studies have always helped me here. Books are my best companion. I forget everything when I study. They divert my attention from everything around.

As I start walking towards the class, I look at my wrists to see the time and realise that I had

forgotten my watch at the sick room.

I turn around to fetch my watch back when I see Parker peeping into the dormitory.

"What's he doing in there?"

"Is he looking for me?"

"Even after the incident at cafeteria?

"Is he concerned about me?"

"No, that's not possible. Maybe he is looking for somebody else".

Don't over react Melissa! Calm down. I say to myself.

As I stand there perplexed, he turns around.
