Author's point of view (POV)
Michelle still felt drowsy when she got home,she had always had the fear of water from birth.
She went to bed immediately Lucas took her home,she wasn't even stable enough to nag and blame him for her condition.
When she woke up the following morning,she was already feeling better and even woke up early and got to school early even before assembly.
She didn't see Lucas all morning and wasn't ready to move around in school.
She went to the hall reluctantly with all eyes on her,silently praying that that assembly goes by quickly.
It did, with no signs of the starry night band until the end of assemble when they arrived with a girl in their midst.
They went straight on the podium and with the girl,they came back down but the girl stayed.
She was given a mike to speak,she was reluctant to speak,she looked around into many peoples face before finally speaking.
"I...am..I...I..I..am here to a...a...pologise...apologise to....to..Michelle...I'm here to apologise to Michelle"
She said and immediately all eyes were in Michelle which made her more uncomfortable.
"I locked you in the bathroom and did such bad things which shouldn't even be done to an animal to you and for that...."
She stopped and went on her knees ".....am sorry".
Everyone had mixed expressions on their face,some were confused,some surprised,some embarrassed for her and some kinda happy,but all looked at me like she had the power to do anything at that moment.
She didn't know what to do so she ran away,she ran from all my problems which she usually never do,before she left she saw the girl drop a tear from her eye.
She ran to her class and someone came to meet her, it was Lucas,she looked at him then back into infinity.
"Why did you run away?",she didn't replying him," "don't you hear me speak",still she gave him no reply,"MICHELLE??",he shouted.
"What did you want me to say,ehn,thank you?.....you think I don't know you made her say it...if it was that you did it for me and you weren't the reason I got attacked in the first place I would have appreciated..."
"ENOUGH,it's my fault right,how about I go and apologise to you in public,is that okay for you",he interrupted me before she could complete her sentence.
"And causes me more embarrassment than you already did"
"Seems like you really regret meeting me"
"Yes I do,I really do",she said and walked out on him.
"UNGRATEFUL",he shouted as she left.
