The winter breeze entered the classroom from the open windows and went through my ears, sending shivers down my cold body, as I sat in my seat right beside the window that Ashwin opened.
"Man, the weather is really hot today," He said as he opened the bottle of water that had frost on its surface, "Right Aditi?" And poured the water on my head.
"Ack." I was about to scream from the freezing water that was poured on my head but he slammed my head on the table before I could.
"I hate your voice so you are not allowed to scream OK." And he left to his seat leaving me freezing in this cold.
I tried to get up to go to the Infirmary but my body couldn't move, I fell down on the floor shivering, looked around the classroom, the classroom that was filled with my friends in the past, "Heee…lllll..pppp" now all of them averted their gaze ignoring my plead for help leaving me all alone on the floor.
The classroom was left cold and silent with the only sound of me whimpering on the floor.
***
I don't know how long has it been, I don't remember, I don't care anymore, this is my life now.
As I was leaving the classroom Ashwin entered and kicked me in the stomach as soon as he saw me.
"Were you trying to leave before me, are you trying to run away?" He asked as he walked closer to me.
"….." Laying on the ground with my head hung down looking at his feet I could not bring myself to answer, I was afraid to answer.
He kicked my head and slammed it into the dustbin behind me and the waste of the dustbin covered my whole body, strength left my body and I laid down in the garbage...but he didn't stop.
With his foot he moved my head, making me face him.
"Were you trying to run?" He asked again, looking me right in the eyes
"Yes," On my answer he smiled brightly contradicting his action from before.
"You shouldn't do that," He said.
"Yes," I answered.
"You won't try to do it again right?" He asked.
"Yes," I answered.
'Yes' is the only word I am allowed to answer with, anything else only brings more pain.
"You should be punished for this right?"
"Yes" I should be punished, in the past, I tried to get away and report to the teachers but no one listened to me and ignored me and even my classmates kept their distance from me, Ashwin said that they all wanted me to be punished for my sin, the sin of killing his parents.
"Good girl, so after school you are coming with me." He said as he kicked my stomach again and left.
I thought with time I would get used to this but.
"It hurts."
