79, no, 80 days since I dropped out of MCHS, and now, I'm actually going back.
"Good morning mom" beamed Freya, as she struggled to stand erect.
"You should go have a shower darling. Water would definitely do the trick"
"What trick?" Freya asks, rubbing her eyes vigorously.
(Mr. Adams walks into the living room, with a glass of red wine)
"Water is a mystery, my darling. It will give energy to that worn out body of yours" Mr. Adams explained.
(Silence sweeps in. No one says anything. Both Rebecca and Freya were neither shocked nor happy)
Mr. Adams grins, placing his glass on a table, and walking towards Freya in small, steady steps.
"Freya, darling. I heard you're well now"
(Freya ignores the hell out of his ass. Rebecca keeps making breakfast)
Mr. Adams wipes Freya's forehead with his hands, and takes her side hair behind her ears to reveal her full beauty.
"Freya darling. You're a special girl you know that. I just couldn't see you suffer, that's why I had to stay away from you. It hurt me so much that you were going through that demon crap, and I couldn't do anything about it"
"Now, all I feel is pure happiness. I love you Freya, even more than your mom, I hope you can see that"
(Freya wasn't exactly agile for family drama now though, so she just let Adams do his thing while she yawned widely in between his speech)
"Whatever dad, I gotta get something to eat"
"Mom, what are you making?" Freya asked, as she tried to taste a piece of the pie Rebecca had already made.
"No way young lady. Do things the way it should be done. Shower. Eat. Get dressed"
"Whatever mom. Shower it is then" she rushes upstairs, heading for the bathroom in her room.
*******
(This is sick, I mean, it's crazy, but in a good way. My demon is gone, no voices ringing in my head, no monsters tormenting the hell outta me, no strange visions, or whatever sick shit I've been experiencing the past months. Dad!? Dude is trying to get back in my good side. My life is amazing. This feels too good to be true, but well, I gotta enjoy it while it lasts) Freya wondered, as she went by the order her mom gave - Shower. Eat. Get dressed.
***********
I walked with uncertainty towards the school entrance. I'm about to enter Michigan City High School, my high school. It used to be fun here, back in the days, until I got possessed by a thousand year old demon, and now, he's gone. I can't say I would be welcomed with open arms, but whatever it is, I'm sure I can get through it. I went past the torments of a thousand year old demon, I don't think there is anything I can't get past.
"Here we go!" Freya yelled in her mind, as she stepped into MCHS.
The feeling of being stared at crawls into my head. I walked with my head held high, but that feeling still didn't go away. It was like, all eyes were on me, watching me, tracing my steps. Just one little mistake, one tiny mistake could ruin me, and turn me into that freak I was accused of some months ago. It seems not everyone can remember, but I was still being stared at.
I am fine though. I feel fine. My mind isn't controlled by some lousy demon or something. I can feel my legs and every part of my body functioning perfectly. What could go wrong?
"Freya!" a voice called out from behind.
(Who the fuck is that! Relax Freya. It isn't your demon. It isn't the voices. Those are gone, for good. Come back to reality)
Freya relaxes her mind, and discovers it's actually a human calling out to her.
The voice was boyish, cute, and had a happy tone in it.
"Freya! What are you doing here?" Ben asked, showing off his dimples as he smiled.
"Uhh what. This is a School, so...?"
"I know, but I thought you dropped out. We all did"
Freya holds on to her bag tightly, almost fidgeting.
"Well, I'm back now. So...Freya's back"
"Glad to have you back" Ben said, as he offered to walk with Freya.
Ben Carson was just next door neighbour to Freya, and was aware of Freya's stunts. They haven't talked for months because Freya was usually indoors when she had the demon in her mind.
"So...Freya. I..." Ben wasn't sure of what to say.
(Jack interrupts them)
"Freya. Omg. I can't believe my eyes" Jack exclaims as he leans in without warning, for a tight hug.
Jack was literally the hottest dude in SENIOR year. He was good in everything except his grades, and he was an extrovert too, making it easy for him to make conversation with anyone.
"Where have you been Freya" Jack asks, as he cuts the hug, now staring straight into Freya's grey eyes.
"Let her be Jack. Go fuck with someone else. Freya is off limits" Ben Carson helps Freya out coz she had nothing to say.
Ben doesn't even wait for Jack's reaction. He pulls Freya out of Jack's arms, and walks out on him, holding Freya's hands.
(No way. Is Ben actually into me? No no...he was just being a protective gentleman. He is one of the few people who knows the full extent of my past torment. Although we were never really friends, we barely talked, and even when I started being a freak, he wasn't exactly there for me, not that he could though. I locked myself indoors like a scared prisoner, when the torments were too much to handle)
(His hands feel really hot though, its even sweaty) Freya thought, as they walked, holding hands, to class.
*****
"Couple of the year!" Lucas yelled, as he saw Freya and Ben walk into class, holding hands.
(They quickly let go of each other)
"Shut up Lucas" Freya casually uttered, as she was fond of Lucas.
(Freya sits next to Lucas, leaving Ben to do whatever he wanted to do next)
"Freya!" Lucas extended his arms, drawing Freya into his chest, as they sat really close to each other.
"Lucas." she smiled.
"I don't know what to say to you Freya. I thought we were friends. You just blew me off, and never said why"
"Let's forget that ever happened" Freya gave a short statement, giving Lucas the impression that Freya had developed an ego.
"We did everything together - studied, had fun, karaoke, played games, and teased each other. How did you forget all of that? You even stopped coming to School and never told me anything about it. I heard it from someone else, and it wasn't cool. I went to your house severally, but I was chased by your dad. You really did fuck me up, and now you're saying we should forget all that happened?"
"I'm in your arms now right. We're cuddling just like old times. Let's bring that back, rather than bring up old memories"
"Alright. If you say so"
Freya feels that way again - the feeling of being stared at.
She turns in the direction of the feeling, and finds that Ben Carson is actually glaring at her. Not her exactly tho. He was glaring at both of them - Lucas and Freya, having this look of jealousy on his face.
(Ben is into you Freya. Don't make it a big deal!)
Freya relexes her mind in Lucas's arms, thinking of how crazy the past few months have been, and the new life ahead of her.
"This is going to be one hell of a bumpy ride! A ride full of boys, and maybe, sex!"
