I groaned for the 5th time today, twirling the straw in my mouth as I look outside at the sunny weather. I was peacefully seated on my chair waiting for my speech teacher to arrive. It was 8:35 and she was running out of time. 

"Hey, JoJo." Tom smiled. I rolled my eyes, I wasn't fully paying attention to him but the interest of my straw. 

"Rude bun." He pouted and squeezed my cheek. I groaned and smacked my lips in annoyance. 

"Don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Squeeze my cheek."

"It's not my fault you have adorable squishy cheeks. I could eat it if you weren't sensitive." I blushed and continued twirling my straw. My mind raced with unnecessary thoughts. Just then, the door burst opened and the tardy speech teacher entered. She had her hair wet and her brown suit damped. I opened my mouth but Instead, I mistakenly snickered instead. 

She snapped her head to me and her face was painted with annoyance and anger. If it was one thing out of 100 reasons, you should know, it's that, Mrs. Gaga doesn't like when kids snicker. Either in her class or in front of her. It was as if she was allergic to it or she had a bad reaction to it. 

"You!" She spat angrily. A small drool leaking at the end of her lips. Her eyes were boiling in red and her lips twisted in pain and wickedness. 

"Stand up and leave the class immediately!" She ordered. My jaw dropped immediately when that word left her mouth. It was just 11:49 in the morning and she was 49 minutes late and now, I was suspended from her class. I couldn't just accept it. 

"I'm so sorry, ma'am. Please-"

"Get the hell from my class and oh yeah, your mom is going hear of this all thanks to your bad mouth!" She spoke. The class remained silent as I stood up to pack my things. Tom gave me a small wave as I left the class. 

I burst out crying in the hall. I shouldn't have come to school today. It was a terrible idea and I knew it. I sniffed and carried on walking until I was in the girl's toilet. Mrs.Gaga was also the kind of person to keep to her words and I doubt she was going to forget to call my mom.  I pushed open the white door and that's why I heard a small gasp. 

I scrunched my nose just by the smell of what the toilet smelt like. Like urine and coke. A weird and disgusting combination of pollution. 

I tapped my small fingers on the mirror taking in the sight of my horrible self at the mirror. I looked disgusting with my running nose and dry lips. My hair was all over the place and small bags were under my eyes. My cheeks were puffy and blown. I looked more than horrible. 

"Calm down, baby." I heard a small voice say. I turned around and bent down to look from under the toilet door. They were 4 pairs of legs. One in heels and one in canvas. 

"Is she gone?" Another voice spoke. I furrowed my brows and strained my ears to listen to the lowered conversation going on. They didn't know I was here whosoever was inside there. 

"I think so." The first one spoke again, a lot calmer and gentle. I heard a small sigh. I squealed in surprise when the door flew open and Chloe and Jessica came out, flushed.

"Are you sure? The guns are well loaded and filled with bullets. It could be dangerous leaving it out here in the building." 

"I don't give a flying shit! I said leave the gun here and let's go home. I'm tired, alright." I pressed open the door to my car and got in, waiting for Lin. 

I couldn't get why I had a throbbing headache. My head was burning with a hot sensation and my chest heaving. I felt sick which was fucking rare! 

"You look sick." Once Lin entered, I started the engine and started reversing backwards checking the review mirror carefully. 

"You okay?" He continued. 

"I'm always okay. Be more specific." I told. The cold breeze fanned my face and I gritted out and whined up the mirror to prevent the air from touching my face. I turned on the A/C instead. 

"Natural air is better than the air conditioner. It's literally stupid enough of you to lock the windows because it's cold outside and turn on the A/C." Lin muttered. 

"Fuck you!" I spat. The hot sensation was starting to spread out to my body and my anger rising. My inner demons revealing themselves. 

" Whatever. You're the main reason why I'm getting poor grades." I could detect a smirk in his tone. 

"Fucking hell! That's false. The main reason why you're so dumb is that you were born that way. Embrace it and love your dumbness." 

"I'm not dumb. I'm beautiful." His cocky smile appearing.

Bitch.

"I miss my baby girl. I wonder how's she doing. Dude, you should try touching her cheeks. It's so smooth and cute. I want to feel it and ki-

I stopped the car and held out my hands to reach for Lin's black jacket. "Shut the fuck up, Lin! Don't say a word about Ariana again."

Her name sounded different on my tongue. In a bad way. Images of her came flooding into my mind as I release Lin's jacket and pinched the bridge of my nose. 

"You're whipped and it's fun watching," Lin told, with a chuckle. I opened my eyes and got out of the car, my vein bulging out.

She was the reason for what I'm feeling right now. 

The burning sensation.

The heaving of my chest.

"Where are you going to? I'm hungry. Let's go home, alright!" 

I ignored him and continued walking along the streets. I slowly turned around and face an empty road. Lin had left me all alone on the streets without my car. I licked my lips and stood there on the spot. My hair was ruffled and messed. I was tired.

For the past few days, I've been having sleepless nights and this terrible nightmare that I keep having. That's why I'm so fucked up! 

The shit was all about my past. Those terrible nightmares that I kept having. All because of him. The man that left me homeless and depressed.

Troy.
