Chapter 8- Alone
"Don't talk to me."
"Stop staring at me."
"Go away!"
Words like those from the one I loved for hurt. It hurt like searing pain from hot iron on bare skin. I sobbed myself to sleep that day, remembering how much of a freak I am....Morning comes...and the morning sun shines in my puffy eyes, making me fall back with that burning sensation. I rub my eyes, and get in the shower. The cold water running down my scarred back, I could tell what was the water and what were the tears. The water stops after I'm done, and I look in the reflection in the mirror. Worthless. Freak. The dark circles under my eyes and red still showing in my irises show clearly. You could tell I was sobbing my heart out. This time, on the bus, Fares sat far away from me. It was just me in the seat..alone. It felt awful. When we arrive at school, I keep my head down so no one could see my face. The same halls, the same people. Lucy tried to wave to me, but I looked away in response. 'I'm sorry for being sad..' I murmured to myself while passing her, her face shocked and full of curiosity. Instead of greeting the teacher like I always do, I just sit down, silent and captivated by regret. The day goes on and on, I don't really pay attention to what was happening during this. My mind was still wondering and pondering about Fares. How does he feel? Does he still consider me as 'friend'? Finally, it's lunch time. I talked to no one today, and no one talked to me. I sat at the far end of the long table, poking and chewing at the stale food. I watch the mayhem that usually goes on at lunch, involving laughter and jokes. "Fares, you're such a gay faggot!" I hear Devin, the bully, scream at a familiar name. My eyes widen and look up to the situation. Fares's expression angers, and he shoots back, "I'm not the gay one..." his arm lifted up and pointed at me "he tried to kiss me yesterday! That freak!" A roar of laughter then emitted from the table, and a hot wash of embarrassment washed down my face. "DISGUSTING!" I heard a boy scream. Though, not everyone was laughing....like Alaskha, Loc, Lucy, Elizabeth...but Fares was, and that was all that mattered to me. At that moment, my world crumbled. I turned my back to the wave of students, shouting remarks and laughing, and ran outside to a dark, shadowed corner. There, I sobbed violently, goose bumps running down my arms. I hid from everyone's lingering eyes the whole day.
"Gay!"
"Faggot!"
"Just die!"
