16.I'M STRONG!

My blood
~ Westlife

You came home crying
from school today.
Walked past me trying to hide
the tears there on your face .
It's hard for me to explain,
How humans find the pleasure
of causing people pain.

But sometimes ,
there's more to the story.
And we don't know what's going on
in that home, behind closed doors,
Maybe there is something wrong.
So be brave, my little one.
I know you can be strong.
'Cause you are just like your mom.

Say my name.
When you're hurting, darling.
I'll take the demons away.
But you know there will come a day,
When I won't be there.
But I know that you'll be okay
'Cause you are my blood.

Oh, I was 22 years old.
My mother told me that
you learn more as you go.
But I've spent many nights alone.
Do I need more for me
to make this house a home?

Chapter 16 : I'M STRONG!

ISABELLA'S POV

"I have to do this alone and it's just a phase that'll pass " I remind myself for the millionth time .

Chris went for swimming practice . Harv went for his Physical training class whereas Lucy's kinda sick so she's resting at home .

I take a deep breath and walk into the premises .

I notice some people are still staring at me .

Frankly speaking , I preferred the way they did on my first day here ,
at least they considered me as a stranger then , now I'm the talk of the town .

Great , just great !

I didn't even pick my parents' calls yesterday , I might have spilled everything emotionally .
And I don't want them to worry about me .

I am strong all by myself .

I did text them back saying I had dozed off and my phone was on silent .

First I had to deal with Social studies, followed by English today .

I sat at the back so that others would actually leave me alone , but life's not that simple , right ?

"You are sitting on my desk "

"Can you please sit somewhere else for today ? "

"That's my spot so remove your big fat ass from there "

"Oliver your name is not written on it , so as much as you own this desk , so do I and so does every other student "

He bangs the desk hard which kinda creeps me out but I'm not gonna let him take advantage of me or anyone .

"You do know your precious video is going viral , right ?"

"Enough is enough Oliver!" Royal shouts out of nowhere

"Seriously Royal ? You are 'again' standing up for 'her' "

" Royal it's okay I can handle him by myself " I say as politely as I could

Professor enters the class & everyone settles in their places , except for Oliver who had to sit on the very first desk.

At least the good thing is that
Ro is aware of the clip and he didn't do it , also he took my side .
