Even in death ,the dead still torments.
Amanda walked back to class feeling blissful. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so happy. She didn't feel guilty whatsoever. He deserved it. He was a jerk, a scum of the earth. He was gonna die sooner or later , she only helped him fasten the process.
She was so happy that she almost wanted to run to class , but she calmed herself down and walked normally.
With the time she spent there many students were already in school and while some were in the classroom some were outside talking to each other. Amanda passed them and walked on , they didn't even notice her.
She was still walking when she heard a good morning. She turned. It was the class president of her class.
" Hi " she replied and continued walking, they were going to the same class but that didn't mean she was going to walk together with him.
David watched as Amanda passed him , his nose twitching.
"Why does she smell like smoke ?" he asked himself and continued walking back to class " was she being bullied again?" He thought and his gaze darkened.
He hated it when she was being bullied, he couldn't do anything out of fear of being bullied himself but he always reported to the teachers, the counselor and even once the principal. But they didn't do anything instead they just came and warned the bullies to stop and that only made things worse because they thought Amanda reported them. He was a scrawny figure ,he couldn't fight them , they would totally beat him up.
But his heart ached anytime he saw them bullying Amanda and insulting her. He hated it. He hated himself for being unable to help her. He hated himself for being useless to her. He liked her. In fact he liked her even since they entered high school and now they were in the last year of high school he hadn't still told her how he felt. He was scared. He was scared she would reject him. He was always watching her. He always saw her interacting with her friends. He always saw her fake smiles. And everything wrenched his heart. He felt sad for her. He wanted to hold her. He wanted to hug her. He wanted to tell her everything was going to be okay.
He got to the class and saw her in her seat, writing.
He went to his own seat and dropped his bag , then he looked at her again. He took a deep breath and walked towards her.
Amanda felt someone approaching her from the corner of her eyes , when she raised her head up she saw the class president walking towards her
What did he want ?
Was he about to collect the assignment? Couldn't he wait a little till everyone came ? She was the only one in the class.
"Hi Amanda"he greeted with a smile but his heart was beating hard against his chest.
"Hi" Amanda replied still looking at him. She didn't know his name. Or maybe she knew it but forgot about it."Do you need anything? " she asked
"Um…." David stuttered " I just ….." he muttered his voice clamming , his eyes darted around as he suddenly became nervous his palms sweated. He couldn't do this, he couldn't talk to her now, he would just embarrass himself " I'm sorry " he said and ran back to his seat, sitting down and placing his head on the table.
What the fuck just happened
Amanda stared at him and her mind was reeling. What just happened? What was that ?
Was it a prank? Was he going to prank her or make fun of her?
Her gaze turned cold. She chuckled silently to herself and just went back to assignment. She was busy right now. She didn't have his time. She was already happy about Mike so she wasn't going to let anyone ruin her happiness.
