Chapter 2

LARA’S POV

It was lunch time,everyone was leaving the class one after the other.

I waited till everyone went to the cafeteria and got a good seat before I left the class.

I acted like I was still busy with some class work until everyone had left but deep down I knew I wanted them to go ahead.

I usually get the lowest seat,or I sit alone in a corner.

I was embarrassed at what I would be taking because while other students would have varieties I could only take what was left.

I finally stood up after some minutes,at least everyone would have taken good seats and started eating so no one would notice me.

Then I remembered I have to see Miss Deen,this made me frown but at least she could delay going to the cafeteria.

I went over to her office and saw her also leaving for lunch.

“Is this the right time for you to see me? Oh please use your initiative, You should come later.” She said and walked past me, bulging her shoulder on mine.

I finally went into the cafeteria trying to be as invincible as I could be because the last thing I wanted was to draw any sort of attention to myself.

I went over,took a tray and my food was served,I heaved a sigh of relief because I had my food without any obstructions,or so I thought.

“Is that your food or is it for dogs.?” I heard a feminine voice say out as I turned to leave.

Everyone turned over to look at me and I wished I could just bury my face in my palm forever.

“Didn’t you hear?I am talking to you.” She added and I finally turned.

“How may I help you?” I tried to act like I didn’t hear what she was saying all along.

“Oh goodness.” She said laughing hysterically.

“Well what I asked was why do you eat trash?” She asked again and the hall echoed with laughter.

I looked down at my food and then back at her trying to be strong.

“It’s not trash,It is just what I can afford.” I said politely and moved to walk away.

As I forged to walk past her,I felt my face on the floor and the disturbing sound of the tray only caused more attention as the whole hall roared out in laughter again.

The whole food was scattered around the place and made a mess of my uniform.

I looked back to see what I tripped on.

“Oops sorry I didn’t see you coming.” She said with a bold smile on her face.

I felt so embarrassed and pained,I was angry I was the subject to bullying and I never got my peace and never would.

I laid down there just praying something would happen and it would divert their attention from me.

I looked up and saw someone stretch forth their hands to hold me up.

A young,fine,charming masculine figure.

I cleaned my eyes to be sure I wasn’t hallucinating because why would someone want to help me?

It felt too good to be true and it could be another plot for them to be able to make mockery of me so I wasn’t falling for it.

I stood up myself and ran away from the cafeteria and straight into the restroom.

I shut the door behind me and sat on the floor holding the door back so no one would be able to follow me or come into the restroom for the time being.

I just wanted to be alone.

I sat there and cried bitterly, my eyes were already very sore and my uniforms was already a mess,I didn’t have anyone to call to pick me up or have any money to get a new uniform.

Sometimes I felt like I was strong but my whole system would fail me whenever I was a subject to bullying. I started to think about getting used it at least it happened on a daily basis now.

Maybe that was just my destiny,to be bullied for the rest of my life and I would have to accept it that I am indeed a failure and nothing more would be added to my life.

Just then I heard and abrupt knock on the doo intruding my thoughts.

“Go away.” I said not planning to change my mind on this particular decision.

They had made jest of me already the least they could do was to leave me alone to cry.

I didn’t hear anything from the other side for quite a while and I thought the person would have given up and gone away.

“I am just here to bring you food.” A soft but firm masculine voice said and no one in the entire school would miss that voice for anything in the world.

It was the voice of the richest and most influential student in the whole school.

Damon,he was every girl’s dream because not only did he have the looks he also had the money and figure.

Why would he want to bring me food?

Or was I hallucinating? I was probably hallucinating because this doesn’t make any sense.

“I don’t want it,go away.” I muttered out.

That was the first thing that came out of my mouth and I thought I was probably hallucinating because why would he want to have anything to do with me?

Even if it was true the first time such person should be seeing me shouldn’t be when I was such a mess.

I didn’t want to see anyone I just wanted to be alone.

I didn’t say anything more and i felt when he was ready he would walk away because it could be another way for them to make mockery of me for all I know.

Soon I didn’t hear any more knocks and I heard footsteps leave indicating he was gone.
