The next two days pass so fast and I really hated it.Due to the fact the handle of the locker I was shoved into it before had bruised my shoulder and Strawberry slamming to the wall, it had practically shifted a bone out of place and I had to wear a sling all the time.I mean, I didn't even know how bad it was till Doctor found me on the floor of my room, grasping my hand in pain and she checked it for me and took me to her room which was different from ours and yet, still the same.Her walls had a dull yet cool colour to it, but around it was a white bed with two white comforters and a white duvet, a caramel coloured vanity desk and wardrobe, a chocolate coloured couch, armchair and chaise lounge, red curtains—And a yellow grand piano. It looked like it was just newly painted anyway. She never told me what the significance meant but I could tell a bit. The room looked like a black and white scene from some dreary movie but when you saw the colour around the place, it gave a calming
When I'm done with showering, I wear my bra with my crucifix resting in between my breasts and panties with my knee length socks, staring at my reflection through the closet mirror.The scars are still on my body, hidden in places that were the least obvious because my Ma was very skillful in that sort of things. Knowing how to hide things.I had never had much body fat, which was surprising cause I ate a ton but she always used to say all my food just went to my head and came out when I began to say shit that didn't correlate with anything.Honestly, if all the food I eat could just kindly move to my butt, I'd be really grateful.Wait, that just means a lot of shit coming out of my ass. Okay. Gross. Skip.I hear my door open as Caramel walks in "Morning, Vanilla, I—" Then as usual, the customary closing of his eyes happens as he shrieks those very popular four words of his. "I didn't see anything!"I smile now, knowing that he did see something, before I turn around to face him. "Go
"Babe? Are you okay?"The pet name had me pulling myself out of my trance, a small smile coming on my lips as I remembered it had been so long Strawberry had called me that "Y-Yeah"We are in the car to school, Cream and Strawberry in the front drivers seat while I stay at the back of the passenger seat.Usually, I stayed with Chocolate who used to always talk about things I never really understood but ever since he began taking Vanilla home, their ride had been quiet.So quiet that even I was becoming slightly uncomfortable.I mean, it meant that I could read my books without worrying that Chocolate would be shrieking along with a song playing from the radio but still.Strawberry had his lips in a straight line as he looked at me through the mirror, voice soft "Sure? You've been looking outside the mirror as if you want to fly out the car"I give him a small smile, sitting up so I could try to put more strength in my voice "I'm alright. I just—"I didn't like the fact Vanilla called
It was recess and Chocolate sat next to Strawberry who looked like he would soon crack the salt bottle over his head while Cream sat next to me.Our table in the cafeteria was away from human eyes though you could spot easily if you looked well enough but no one ever did.No one wanted to disturb us and I would admit I liked it that way.Besides, our food was always served on our table before we came so there was never a need for more people to look at us."— So basically I had to listen to this little bitch whine and whine about how her boyfriend left her or something" Chocolate says, now digging his fork into his salad before he looks at me "Eat up, baby"I give him a small smile, looking at my food.As usual, my plate is the least filled even though it's adequate enough for lunch but I didn't feel hungry at all."You have to eat" Strawberry isn't one to pet or baby me about eating like Coco would, he was always more definitive with his words "Or I'd tell Doc"The words work the mag
"Two days, Vanessa. Two whole days and no texts, no messages. Not even a letter to tell me you were alright"I grumble as I take my seat next to him "I wasn't alright though"Ever since Kai spotted me in school after two days of my absence, he at first did a show of being upset with me, refusing to even look at me as I followed him around like a sick puppy but eventually he caved.Now I'm not sure if I preferred him ignoring him to the scolding I was getting."I mean, it's oksy to want space, but not too much space" Kai emphasizes now as I try not to let put a dramatic sigh "I was worried for heaven's sake"I look at him. Noticing that his glasses are about to slip down his nose before I help him push it back up and rest my head on my desk "I don't mean to make you worry again but I'm like extra sleepy"If looks could kill, I'd probably be dead "Seriously?"I nod, letting out a small yawn "I got attacked mid morning by this vicious gorilla and there was this puppy yapping at my face w
We're in the changing room, the girls making sure they whisper and point at me, probably because Coach was so happy and mad that I'd lost. Mad about his money, happy he had someone to drill every Friday after school, not that I minded, as long as food was involved. I wait for the other girls to leave before I take off my P.E clothes, shower and change back into my uniform, before I shut my locker,and jump, a small sigh leaving my lips "Court. You really shouldn't be here. It's the girls changing room and from all the misogynistic air you're giving, this should probably be your hell" The male smiles again, except it's not nice this time and I can see the two boys behind him. Bullies, I suppose. "Now that wasn't nice of you, was it?" He says "I give you a metre, and you take a fucking mile" I beam at him "I was just showing you how grateful I am" He chuckles, coming closer "Why don't you show me now?" Disgust creeps into me as I shove him away, moving back "What's this all about?
When I was little, I had a sister and her name was Mika. We were everything alike, and not quite. We both had pale skin and lithe bodies, but while I had pale hair and silver eyes, she had blond hair and bright blue eyes. While to everyone, I was the little freak show that looked like I wasn't real even though I was classified as perfect, they treated her like she was perfect enough to be called human. They couldn't get enough of us. Enough of her. They were rumors that they had thought a sort of sibling rivalry would begin between us because of people's opinion on us, but that was impossible. Mika was the light in my life. Through all the socializing and stares, she was always so bubbly and happy, making me feel more human than anyone could. She was also quite naive and a bit dumb I think but it didn't matter cause I would protect her. Yes. It had felt mildly intoxicating. I, Crassius Aurelius, who had been pampered and fed all his life and couldn't even care for a goldfish for
Immediately, we are all quiet. Chocolate's grin died fast, Strawberry freezes, Caramel who is still on Doc's laps looks like he was slapped."W-What?" Mel has a visible shake in his voice as he speaks "That was Vanilla's Aunt. Does she know?""No" Doctor replies "And I'd like it that way" Then she turns to me "Would you mine answering some questions about her for me?"I shake my head.She nods "Thank you. Where did you find her? And I'd like it if you were detailed"I make it simple as possible "In the Locker room. It was dark and locked from the outside so I went in and found her there"I know the story has some missing parts and I know Doc knows too, but she seems appreciative that I held back as Caramel says "S-So they found her in school and hurt her?"Doctor gives a small shake "I doubt that was them. Vanilla was hurt, but— But most of her cuts, asides the bruises, were self inflicted"Self inflicted?Did that mean she was like Chocolate? We were all looking at Doc, hoping she w
