Darkness is nothing ahead of your strength

+-+-+-+----+--+-+-------&-+-&-------+--++-++-------

I want to see the ocean, maybe I want to swim in there sometime but I am not getting a moment to go in there. I have been perceiving it as very unusual for the past week. It's not that aspects are messing up in my life, incidents are running smoothly but that's where the problems begin!

Whenever I studied Mr Peter, I found him giving me cold shoulder, and on some days he even tried to intimidate me for unknown reasons. He even tried to ask questions regarding the incident that transpired almost a month ago.
I don't know who told him and why was he curious in the first place? He was not concerned for me nor do I want him to be concerned about him but still, his strange facade behaviour is very obnoxious to me.

"What are you thinking?"

Alisha was struggling with the strap of the bag. 
People here were whispering about her too.
Her involvement with Tony. Yes, you heard right that guy who is a dickhead is trying to impress my friend with his tactics.

You know I want to say to her to not believe him! He might even hurt her but he has been goofy around us in the past days. So, it's hard to reckon, let's see if he is the one for her.

"Mr Peter?"

"You know what I think about him? I speculate that  he is gay!" She was still struggling with her bag.

"So that's why he is giving me cold shoulder????"
It doesn't make any sense!!!

"No, he has been giving cold shoulder to every human on this planet earth but you come out to be his favourite student"
She swatted me on the shoulder.

"And why??? Why does everyone have a problem with me?"

"I think he is obsessed with your beauty, " now she started mocking me.

"Oh my God, what should I do with my beauty? Should I declare myself, the most beautiful girl on this planet? On no wait, I should declare myself the most astonishing girl of the galaxy!"

It was my fake sarcasm to let her know how wrong she is to even call me beautiful!

"Are you out of your mind? Listen, Julia sorry to pop your bubble but you are not even a girl to be called don't assume of yourself as too high. darling, because you are triviality in front of me and don't you ever try to disregard your standard! Stick with your standard which is triviality ahead of me so stick to your shoes, you underprivileged girl!"

She patted my head and walked by my surroundings when everyone was chuckling at me.

For my beauty standards!

"Let's go! we have to kill her now!" Alisha grabbed my hand and we started running.

I was short of breath. Why does she always have to do this? I wasn't conversing with her!

"Why are not you moving fast? Don't you want to kill her? That bloody bitch! how dare she?"

She gawks like a goat who doesn't do anything and eat salad on her most of the days! I wish I could have slapped her or better kicked her on her face so she would have fallen hard on the ground and encountered the harsh reality that she is a monster who also looks like a pig!!!"

Looks like I need to loosen up the tension with Alisha first than to give some sense to Sarah.

"Could you please calm down? You know that I am not going to let her downsize me! We don't need to take the pressure because of her bullshit! And forget about killing her. I have made up my mind I will complain about her to the Dean or whatever authority it takes to demonize her! Enough is enough!!!"

"But?"

"No, but! I am dead serious about this! You go and take your class. you have a test to give, don't let her ruin your dreams, " of course, she has a test to give and she needs to concentrate on that I can deal with this peanut size of the brain girl.

"Shut up! I am not going anywhere!" Oh no, I don't want her to get into some unnecessary havoc because of me.

"As I explained, you need to concentrate on your test, you don't want to fail in it now do you???"

She was fidgeting, I could sense the way she was glaring at her while holding my hand.
Today I acknowledged, at least I have gained one true friend here.

"But-"

"Shut up and go!!!!"

As the bell rang she started running to her class.

****

It's high time, at least I need to complain about her, maybe they will warn her and take some litigations to behave appropriately. At least she will realize that by being wealthy; she cannot rule anything! Not to anybody or not even a soul 

As I attained the hallway, I saw the dean's office to the farthest distance from where I stood.

I was strolling with determination in my eyes because I wanted to educate her a lesson in my way of how things should be done!!!

"What the fuck!"

"Open the door damn it!!!!"

"Oh no no no it can't happen!"

Oh my God, I was just reaching the Dean's office when someone clutched my hand out of nowhere and pulled me into an empty room!

And to my utter revelation, I heard a sound of click which means the room is locked too!

This must be Sarah!

Has she gone hysterical? Doesn't she know how erroneous it is to do something like this? Wish I could kill her with my own hands! I wish I could have been attentive to Alisha to punch Sarah on her face so whenever she glances at herself into the mirror she would have realised that she is a bloody monster!

Ufff! Listen, Julia relax don't need to panic just call Alisha

No, I can't! she must be giving her test, how can I call her? if I did she will come here and then later she will realise what she has done!

Then whom will you call?

Should I call Samuel Hudson? He will help me to come out

Why not Neel?

I don't want him to speculate that  I need him!

I took out my cell phone and dialled Sam's number but it wasn't working there was no network here!

Ughhh this girl Sarah! deserves a slap on her face.

You should have slapped her instead of Neel on that day!

I know I should not have smacked him and I regret it now but what I did at that time was related to my sentiments.

I went to all corners to find that there might be some hope for getting network but no! There was none, there was no network in this room maybe I should use a chair to reach the heights from the surface, I will find some network.

My gut feeling was instructing me that this isn't the worst part yet
Something worse is about to come. Something more dangerous that will shriek me out from the horror.

As I was assuming, it became all black, Now, I am a living person in a dark.

Though I am a grown-up girl still I am afraid of the dark; its endless infinity gives me chills of everything in this world.

I might not like some elements in the world but nothing can beat up the darkness to surrender my soul.

When I was young I couldn't sleep when lights were off. I used to sleep when all the lights were on.

My heart started beating very fast.

"Hello?"

Oh, maybe the network started working finally because Samuel has picked up his phone.

Still, now, I didn't realise that my mouth was dry I started panicking and hyperventilating from horror

"Could you---" words were not coming from my mouth I felt like I was going to lose myself forever.

"What emerged? are you okay Julia?"

For some reason,
I was groping as I am in a black hole and this isn't Sam's voice and maybe it's is... I don't remember if I recognize anything anymore.

"Could you please help me I am near to the dean's office room!"

The connection was out again and I don't have any impression if he heard what I confessed or not?

What if he didn't come?
What if he was busy with his work?

I tried to jump off the chair but fell hard.

I have twisted my leg hard! 

The immense pain I felt, I couldn't describe but when tears started flowing shamelessly, I felt as I have given up!

I didn't want to cry for anything, but I cannot comfort my leg, it was hurting and I am anxious that a monster will come from the dark to kill me, to hate me for being the way I am, to persecute me again and again.

I was immensely crying and begging everyone to help me.

I don't supervise anything now, I just want to get out from here to go to my home, to my country. everything here seems foreign to be dangerous to my eyes.

How can someone be so heartless to do this?

I heard a slighting voice of the door.
There a person was standing in all dark looking at me while wondering what the hell I am doing
Here? In the ground sobbing like a maniac who has no clue what this earth looks like

"Oh my God, Julia are you alright?"

He came rushing to me, pushed away my hair from my head and wiped tears from his soft fingers.

"Look up at me please?"

How can I tell that I am ashamed to look up? How can I tell I am scared if anyone finds out how fragile I am?
How can I tell, I am not that much strong as I show I am.

You know at this moment I believe like I am nothing ahead of everything!

"Look up at me otherwise, I will carry you in my hands!"

Ouch, I don't want that, at least not now!

When I perked up, I found Neel's worried eyes staring back at me with so many questions in them!

" Please don't tell any-"

"Shhhhhh you don't have to worry about anything, I am here for you just take deep breaths, "

He placed his index finger on my lips to shut my mouth.

But maybe at this moment, I trusted him and maybe he won't tell anyone about this! About this incident!

****

We were out from the building, settled on the fields. I was silent all the time, I tried to inform him that I am good and he can go to attend his classes or to do his work but he didn't pay attention to me, he announced, he wants to stay with me at least right now!

We are doing nothing, not communicating, not glimpsing at each other just gazing at the sky from our eyes.

When I heard my cellphone beep, I  realized I have received a text message.

I searched into my pocket but it was not there.

My eyes went to Neel's hands he was holding my cell phone, reading the message I received.

"Fuck! Sarah what's wrong with you!!!" He was murmuring to himself maybe he didn't notice I was looking at him.

"Why didn't you tell me Sarah did this?" Now he was asking me questions why didn't I tell him!

What do I say? Why didn't I tell you? Because you and Sarah are so close to each other that you might not believe me even if I am right! You will believe her because you know you both are meant for each other?

"What the message says?"

It's better to ask him this question.

"It says if you ever tried to complain about me again, I will do something worse  that you will not appreciate and it also declares that she wants you to say sorry to her!"

"Sorry, my foot!"
Words were out of my mouth before I could comprehend them!

"You know Julia, I know you don't confide me that much but this time put faith in me. what she has done today has crossed all the limits. Now, if you please listen to me I have a perfect plan to deal with her so what do you say?  Let's give her karma back tonight!"

He forwarded his hand to make a pact.

And my heart was working faster than my mind and before I speculate anything I already placed my hand into his.
