It was 7 am when I woke up and thought to myself that it was time to prepare for another dreadful day of school full of harassment and bullying directed at me.
On the way to school, I saw the single most person I hated in the world, Daniel, my bully. I shivered in fear and sprinted from across the street full of honking cars and angry cyclists straight into the gates of the school where I could find peace for a mere few seconds.
When I was going to sit down next to my friend, I noticed the sun touch Malia's skin and illuminate her hazel brown eyes and stood there admiring her beauty.
Before I had realized it, it was time for the lesson to start, and I sat down preparing for the most boring hour a human could ever experience, chemistry with Mr. James. I pondered upon the misfortunes I had faced throughout my school life and remembered that it was because of that senseless imbecile Daniel, ever since I asked to get my ball back from him in nursery he had decided to make my life a living hell and to make me his slave.
By the time I had exited my state of despondency, Mr. James has called on me to answer a question of his which was probably because I wasn't paying attention to his lesson at all.
"Marquis!" He yelled in an angry and agitated voice "Would you care to explain what is causing you to not pay attention to my lesson".I responded in a quiet and embarrassed voice "Nothing sir, I zoned out a bit".The sheer amount of embarrassment I felt when I saw the whole class was enough for me to run away from the lesson which I ended up doing. I ran straight down 3 floors and went straight into a toilet cubicle till the lesson ended and I had recovered from the humiliation I had felt had both ended.
The toilet door had opened and Terry had knocked on the door, "Marquis, are you in here".I waited a few seconds then opened the door and said "Why am I always the subject of bullying. Even the teacher gets on my case for no reason".Terry sighed and reassured me, we then went about for the rest of the day minding our business till we were able to leave school at the end of the day.
At last, the loud shrill that had signaled the end of the school day had been sounded and I walked outside the gate and towards the freedom I had sought for ages.
I neared my home on the southside of District 14, the area where all the students and elderly lived and I felt a large cold hand pulling on my hair. I turned around only to realize that it was the same person that had brought me dread and fear. I ran down the street in hopes that I would get away but he had kicked me in the chest and I dropped to the floor, reaching for breath as I felt more than 2 feet kicking me at once. I slowly realized that I had no chance of living.
Me, marquis, in this weakened state had no chance of survival. I had come to peace with the fact that I would die soon and I had made a wish that I would've spoken to my crush Malia sooner.
After a while, I woke up from my slumber only to see a mysterious figure standing in front of me with the bodies of my bully and his friends lying around this mysterious hoodies man
He started walking away and before he had left, I mustered the strength to yell out a question." WHO ARE YOU!".The tall dark figure turned around and responded in a deep, monotone and said
"I am darkness".
