Writer : Shantel

Episode 3

Semi final

I went to the restroom and splashed water on my face, looking into the mirror..i got irritated by my own self. Look what you’ve done to me see how you ruined my tender life, look how you’ve torn my soul apart and scrambled my heart.

Memories flashed, my fist tightened, my teeth gritted, my eyes turned red and sound of crashing glass followed.

I looked at the broken mirror with blood and burst into tears..pains I feel alone. I don’t want to recall how he murdered my soul. I don’t want to!!

…Flashback..
“What exactly happened that faithful day Miss Dawn?”

My eyes reluctantly closed, I swallowed down a lump.

“It was on the 10th of November that day, I left home happy and full of excitement as usual. I went to school that morning jumping and waving at everyone I came across in school. I headed to class and laughed with my friends as that happy teenage girl. We had recess and I went ahead for my cheer leading practice ”
…End of flashback..

I don’t want to remember anything that happened that day, oh! mother of nature please take away my memories, I beg of you

…Flashback
“I went into the locker room to change and go join the other cheerleaders. In the field while having a water break a junior came to me”..
…End of flashback..

No!!! I screamed at myself with my palms over my ears.. I opened the door quickly and rushed out humming a song to help me forget.

I don’t want to think of anything at all. The hall way was empty and quiet cause it lectures time.

I walked to the gate and started walking home with people staring at me probably because of my bleeding hand, if only they could see how much my heart is bleeding only then will my pains be understood.

I got home and pressed on the doorbell , the gate was opened and I went in.

“oh my god ! What happened dear? ” mum exclaimed.

I walked hurriedly up the stairs locking the door behind me. I fell on the floor beside my bed, my head down and my hair over my face. I hate it!

….Flashback..
“I started working to the teacher’s dormitory after the student said Mr Jones had called for me. I knocked on his door, he asked that i sit while he was sitting on his desk ”
…end of flashback..

I crawled into the bathroom and cubicle. I sat on the bare tiles and allowed the water stream down my trembling body covered in clothes. I didn’t do anything bad, I was a good girl.
