After bidding farewell to the cats, I continued my walk to school.
Ahhhhh I still can feel the warmth of the cats way back. I can't help but gently smile. I really love cats, they make me feel calm and they're so cute!
I didn't notice but I was at the door in our classroom. I suddenly felt tension and knots in my stomach. Uneasiness lingering around me. I felt weak and woozy. Every time I am here, I know it will always be the same.
"Hey, look who decided to grace us with his presence. It's Alex," Marco sneered as he walks towards me and went to grab my temple.
I suddenly felt dizzy, I didn't notice, he slapped my head and the heat of the impact was there but I maintained my composure.
"Wow, you're tough huh?" He said as he vilely smiled.
The slap he gave me stings, it hurts so much. He's got a big physique and his hands were heavy.
"AHAHAHHAAHAHAH" the classroom erupted with laughter. Then Marco and his gang surrounded me.
"Fucking bitch"
"No dad- oh maybe he went on to get some milk but was stuck in the store!"
"Talk pussy! Such a weakling bitch. " His gang was pushing me around while insulting me.
I can atleast take this much. I have to endure it. It's been always like this, I don't know what I did for them to pick on me.
"And he thinks he's great just because he's won the science fair." Marco said as he grabbed my ears.
"A-awww Marco it hurts" I complained but he just grinned.
"You like this bitch? Heard that everyone? He likes it when he's hurt. What a pervy bitch" Hi shouted, my classmates then reacted and told me names.
"What a disgusting person."
"Weird"
"Fag"
I just clenched my fists. Ignore them, just ignore them Alex.
He suddenly grabbed me by my hair that I felt my neck made a cracking sound. and now we're facing each other. His face is above me as he was much taller than me.
Then I remembered the book that I have read. He's got the same name as the Hero, Marco but that Marco was righteous, warm, upright, and never bullies the weak in contrast with this Marco in front of me.
"What you looking at me with those eyes you bitch. You think I'm gonna kiss you? No fucking way I would." He said. I can feel his breath on my face since his so close to me. I can't help but glare at him which made him more agitated.
As he was about to punch my face, the teacher suddenly came and I was freed from his grip. I just silently walked towards my seat and sat down. As I wandered my eyes, I saw him glaring at me
"COME TO THE ABANDONED BUILDING LATER BITCH OR ELSE"and traced a slashing motion on his neck, letting me know that I'll be damned if I wouldn't go there.
Suddenly, I felt my chest tightened as I thought if I didn't glared at him and just stood still it would've ended with this but now, I'll have to suffer more.
Throughout the lesson, I wasn't able to concentrate as my head still aches from his slap. As the bell rang, I saw Marco and his gang go out and signed with his fingers to follow him.
Should I run? I asked myself but what gives if I run? There'll be more pain if I run away. I couldn't run away. There's no choice but to go with them.
Anxiety is crawling through my skin his threats echoed inside my head there's nothing for me to do but face this inevitable fate waiting for me.
With heavy steps that got heavier the closer I am to the abandoned building, I could hardly breathe on my way there thinking about what they'll do to me.
*Dudd dudd dudd dudd* I can hear my heartbeat. I can feel my nerves beating. Every step I take makes my knees go weak.
I am standing now in front of the abandoned building. Bushes and weeds grew surrounding it. Traces of the place being thrown away.
I went around and found the way to the back of the building.
Fear and anxiety churned on my stomach. I feel like puking right now. Fully knowing about what they would do to me. Marco and his gang were waiting for me.
I could see their evil smiles and intentions even if I close my eyes. I can feel their malicious intents.
As soon as I was nearly at them, they jumped on me and grabbed my hands. I didn't resist and let them be as I know what will happen if I resist even for just a little.
"Where's the money, loser?" Marco demanded, his voice dripping with contempt.
My hands trembled as I reached for the money on my pocket. I got the allowance mom gave to me for this week.
Marco snatched the money from my hands and counted them, a smirk spread across his face.
"Five thousand? Not bad," Marco chuckled darkly, patting my shoulder mockingly.
"Good bitch." He added.
Before I could react, I suddenly felt his fist on my gut with brutal force.
"Hahhhhhahhhhhhh" I grasped for air as the air gushed out of my lungs. I could feel the pain to my abdomen. It really hurts.
His gang freed my hands then they took turns kicking my body, causing me to collapse on the ground.
"Hahahaha he's fucking loaded" I could hear them laughing as they walk away from me.
Tears welled up on my eyes.
"Why me? Why did this have to happen? What did I fucking do to them?" A coarse voice came out in my mouth.
With immense force, I stood up pushing through the pain. I can feel my body numbing, the parts they punched and kicked, the pain was intensifying with the steps I took and decided to go home
How I wish heroes do exist, so I could be rescued from this pain and suffering.
