Stephanie's POV

Today's classes have all been very boring and the only class I found interesting which is P.E was ruined for me because we got a substitute teacher, it was like the man was brought to make my life more miserable than it already is, why did our main teacher have to go get married couldn't he just wait till I was done with school, how selfish. The one sport I detest, which is swimming is what the man decided we would be doing today and it was compulsorily, all those perverted male creature were very glad. I hate swimming because I would have to wear something that exposed too much of my skin and I don't like exposure, during every other P.E class I always came up with an excuse to miss swimming and our main teacher liked me very much for a reason unknown to mr, and always allowed me to ditch and he still gives me my full mark, but in this case I had no option

" hey you, stop standing there and get changed, we don't have all day"the man yelled snapping me out of my thoughts. I went to the girls locker room to get changed into my black swimsuit,I waited till the locker room was empty before I decided to get changed

" let me help you with that" kiara said adjusting my hair, I wanted to snap at her but I didn't

"thanks"I said not bothering to meet her eyes, my swum suit stood out in the crowd, most girls had really bright coloured swim suit but mine was done,every girl except from me wore a hair cap and eye goggle, if I wore a hair cap my hair wouldn't be their to cover my face and I can't swim with a hoodie. The main reason I covered my face is because it will draw attention and I don't need it

" anytime" kiara said with a soft smile then walked off to join the others, I hated the fact that my inked skin would have to be exposed but what can I do, as I walked out of the locker room all eyes where on me including luka, he had a smudged look on his face,some of the girls whispered something to each other, I was planning the way I would cage all their souls and make them all my slaves as I stood at the back.once it was my turn I got into the water, I am no good swimmer so I am for sure going to lose his race

"you have a minute to get the ball and swim back up to get your full mark, its has easy as that"the sub-coach said, "begin",I started wobbling my arms and leg, I am actually moving really fast on my lane, I swam down to get the ball, but all I saw was the head of a girl no body just the head I couldn't see the face of the girl because her black hair covered it, the swimming pool that was once filled wit clean water was now filled with blood, I didn't hear any sound apart from the head crying, "daddy, daddy"I recognised the voice instantly it was mine, I felt like I was being drawn down but a hand tapped me and everything went back to normal

"the race has been over for some minutes now but you refused to come out, where you sleeping" the couch said making everyone around me laugh, except for kiara, she looked worried. I hurried out of the pool and down to the girls locker room and changed quickly into my normal clothes,not caring that I was still dripping wet,I dashed out of the locker room and grabbed my bag, I am literally going insane right now, who could be doing this, what does the person want for me, why can't I find answers to my questions,why don't I have any help

"Hey steph, wait" kiara said running after me, then stopped to catch her breath, "what happened down their and why do you look like you have just seen a ghost"she question, I felt like screaming I have seen worse than a ghost in her face but decided against it

"stop pretending that you care, okay I know your intentions towards me isn't at all pure, so stop bugging me"I yelled as I walked out form the school building, but she kept on following me

"am not pretending to care steph I do care, I understand what you are going through"

" no you don't"I screamed, "you don't understand half of what am going through, you don't even know what am going through,because if you did you would probably think i'm crazy"

" no I won't, the first day I came I noticed the tension between you and Luka, and I know my cousin is a dick, also you were sitting all by yourself and you reminded me of how I was in my last school, and I understand how it feels to see your whole world as a big dark ball, and to think you are going crazy but it's okay to lean on someone"

" I don't need to lean on anyone am just fine on my own, you don't even know me so stop acting like you do" I said about to walk out but she held me back

"are you sure you even know yourself, you see everyone around you as a suspect how do you think you would be able to be happy, you need to learn to trust" she said with a warm smile why do people always treat me like I have some kind of problem,I don't need anyone's help,am fine alone

"i can't ever trust,I wont ever trust and you don't get to tell me what I need and what I don't need"

"can I have your phone" she asked

" no, why should I give it to you" is she insane, I just told her I can't trust anyone and she is asking for my phone, is that even normal

"this is my number if you ever decide that you want to talk am all ears" she brought out a piece of paper and scribbled some numbers on it then handed it to me before walking back into the school, up until now the only person that cared about being friends with me was Mason, and I can't even trust him fully how would I cope wit another friend, I really don't know anymore.I still don't get what the person that is taunting me is looking to gain, I don't get whatever message the person is sending but I know am not safe.

******

"can we talk" Mason said from the other side of the line, I have been home for more than an hour, dad was surprisingly home when I got back. Am actually glad that these days dad no longer drinks and hasn't been talking about killing me, it felt okay I guess

"we already are" I said dryly

"i mean in person, there is something I need to tell you" i'm sure it's about last night

"it's okay Mason Ryan, I totally understand, you don't have feelings for me and you don't have to,it is totally fine and I know hooking up with random strangers is more important than being there for me, your family and do you know that you are the only person that I trust halfway but you threw that away, but it's totally fine, I get it all now so I have made up my mine to get a new friend and stop being a burden to you, have fun for me now would you, I know you would such a good boy, have a lovely day big bad" I rounded off my speech

" what are you talking about,I do have feelings for you even if I try to hide it I just can't, I was doing something really important last night that is why I wasn't at the game, a lot of shit has been going on, please just come to the abandoned house"why is he lying to me, I already know the truth and he is always really busy

" just stop it mason, I might not have been mad at you earlier, but you keep lying to me repeatedly over and over, when would you stop, and I am actually suppose to call you my friend and trust you, Mason, you know what have a nice day thinking of a better life to tell me" I said before ending the call and laying my phone on the bed and just looking at the ceiling, I want to try and make friends try and trust someone fully, but the one person I choose to trust keeps tossing it away. What a nice way to cheer up my spirit to make friends.
