"Suicide Attempt"

Selena grumbled internally as the climbed the stairs hurriedly. Swinging the door open she entered the open space of the rooftop.

This was her sanctuary, away from all the noise, away from all the people who do nothing all day but bark orders at her, away from it all even if it just for a short time, to feel the wind blowing against her face, to breathe in the fresh air it was all so refreshing.

She went to the edge closing her eyes she spread her arms wide open embracing the fresh air as it came. Her brows still slightly furrowed from the upsetting situation that happened earlier.

She popped an eye open noticing something weird.

'Why was there no breeze today? '

It wasn't like the air was completely still, it was just that the wind wasn't blowing as furiously as her heart right now.

'Come wind, come wash away all my worries.' she chanted but it was as if nature had no plans of listening to her today.

Today was probably a warmer day, because even this high up the wind was just blowing steadily.

'This won't do, more air, more air. ' she inhaled greedily, but the anger in her was far from dying down. She opened her eyes placing her hands on her hips frustrated.

Am I facing bad luck today? Even nature is not on my side.

Just then an idea struck her. She moved forward, climbing on top the edge as she stood right on the stone edge of the rooftop.

'Haaa.'

She let out a sigh, the air wasn't too strong but it was enough to make her relax, she closed her eyes reeling the feeling letting go of all the anger she'd held within she opened her arms as the wind blew against her face.

Down below the huge library building, a guy was busy posing trying to take a selfie, just as he raised his hands up in position he noticed his back camera was on instead of the front one as he quickly tried to switch it back that's when he saw a weird person up on top of the building with arms wide open as if ready to fall off the roof.

The guy panicked yelling. "Oh shit! suicide, someone's trying to commit suicide. "

His shout attracted a lot of attention as a crowd slowly started to gather, gasps and murmurs filled the air. People pointing and talking about the pitiful suicidal person, everyone scared she'd jump any minute. Someone quickly called the police.

The girl in question was busy enjoying the fresh air, heights didn't bother her at all, she'd done a lot of physical activities in the past including sky diving, bungee jumping to name a few.

Little did she know, her stupid attempt at relaxation was attracting a lot of attention and earning her the name of a suicidal person.

And soon, firetrucks filled the area, A few professors and higher ups had been alerted, people started flocking to the scene creating an even bigger crowd.

The girl in question though, couldn't be more oblivious, what with the loud white sounds she was listening to on her ear pods. By now she'd only been on the rooftop for a few minutes, so she didn't think it'd make a difference at all.

From behind her a few students who were initially inside the library had all gathered on the rooftop, yet everyone kept a safe distance for fear of aggravating the situation.

"Isn't that Lena? Why would she want to commit suicide? " a short girl with two braids standing on the rooftop along with all the other employees asked suddenly recognizing the girl.

"Oh my god! It really is her. But she doesn't seem like a troubled person, so why would she get suicidal? " Another girl standing beside her replied.

"Being troubled doesn't show on the face you know, anyone you come across can be troubled, a pity though, she was such an adorable girl." A nerdy guy said squinting his eyes behind the glasses while shaking his head regretfully.

"Hey she's not dead yet, why are you referring to her as a was ? " the girl with the braids snapped at the nerdy guy who shrank his head saying.

" Right, right, she's still alive, a pity though, that would have made the headlines tomorrow. " He sighed.

"What kind of a man are you? A young girl is there attempting suicide instead of trying to save her, you're here wishing she were dead so you could make news out of it? How obsessed are you with your studies Carlos, it's made you into an insufferable jerk."

"Tsk, am not the one wishing her dead OK, she's the one who's suicidal, why are you blaming me for it? " The guy called Carlos, replied shifting his glasses, and walked away to find another gossip group.

Rayne was standing among the hoard of students on the rooftop craning her neck in search of Lena, when she heard what the others were talking about.

"Didn't you hear? It was rumored that, the top story about that drug syndicate that attracted the attention of that big news agency had actually been claimed by Lena. " said someone from the crowd.

" What? Why would she do that? "

" She claimed that the story belonged to her and Diane stole it from her and presented it, but when she was asked to provide proof she wasn't able to, and Diane showed clear proof as she had posted it on her blog the minute she got the information, so that Lena was completely humiliated in front of the professors."

"No way, Diane wouldn't do such a thing, she was just attempting to slander her, she's probably jealous of Diane."

"I know right, and she ended up making a fool of herself maybe that's the reason she's suddenly attempting suicide."

"So that's what happened, I always used to think that Lena was a sensible girl, turns out I was wrong, she even allowed herself to be driven by envy to the point of suicide, how stupid."

"What? Who did you say was attempting suicide? " Rayne suddenly pulled one of the girls talking.

The girl flung her arm.

"Isn't it that stupid friend of yours. " The girl snapped angrily suddenly disliking Rayne as much as she did Lena.

" Lena? But...." She cut herself short from defending Lena to go see for herself, she knew Lena would never do something as stupid as suicide.
