It was the twenty-ninth of February when all of my memories was erased. Living now as Gabrielle Fox is quite a challenge because I am different.
The school alarm suddenly rang and I instantly stood up and walked out of the room. I feel so suffocated. This is my first day at university and I want this day to end. I dialled Martin's number while tapping my fingers hoping he'll answer but to no avail he didn't pick it up. My head is throbbing and I need my medicine this instant. Damn, I hate the smell around me.
A girl approached me and she smiled warmly. Ginger haired girl with thick glasses and I can tell she's one the nerds. "Gabrielle, right? I'm Miya. We go in the same class. Uhm.. It's Lit," she bubbly said and offered me a handshake.
I accepted it out of courtesy and smiled back at her. I'm not here to make friends. My parents just wanted me to go. Live a normal kid. "Nice meeting you."
Her strawberry scent makes me dizzy but I tried my hardest to make a straight face. Damn it. If only I could leave her this moment. Damn, living as a normal.
"I hate to cut this talk but I need to go to restroom. But really, nice meeting you," I politely told her and gestured that I really needed to go.
She nodded and gave me a sweet smile. "No worries. Bye, Gabbie."
What the heck. Gabbie?
I hurriedly ran to the restroom and I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw no one. After a few seconds, I threw up on the sink. Aww, shit. I fixed myself and looked at the mirror. The pale-faced woman stared back at me.
How can I live as a normal teenager if I continue to be like this?
I texted Martin.
'Hey, bro. Got some juice?'
Minute later, my phone suddenly buzzes.
'Forgot it?! How many times did mom told you? Come at the library. I have a spare here.'
I tied my hair in a bun and walked out of the restroom acting like nothing happened. This is my life now. It's been a year but today I finally accepted it. I am Gabrielle Fox.
