Hey look, it's the new English *****
I didn't dare look up
The same words for 2 weeks now
I only just transferred here
And already I had a nickname
I hate it
Eyes stared at me during class
Words exchanged about me
Not the kindest ones either
I was different... an outsider
Why didn't I get a nicer class..?
I was bullied
Alone
No one even referred to me by name
Just because I was from elsewhere and rumours travel fast
I hated my life... everything and everyone.
I was crying in the bathroom after school
Locked the door as tears streamed down my face
My thoughts finally got to me
I started to believe what they said
No no no no no...
I walked out wiping my eyes
No one was at school anymore
Except maybe a few teachers here and there
"Hey..."
I'm shocked... no one was supposed to be here
A boy stands in front of me
Asian, looked exhausted and he wore glasses. He smiles.
I vaguely remember him from class
He sat by the window in the back
No... please don't hurt me...
"Amber right?"
I'm confused. "Yeah... Amber [---]."
"Amber [---]... mind if I tell you something?"
"Not really... what?"
I wipe my eyes and wait for him to speak
"Don't cry alone here.
I know it's rough...
But nothing they say is true.
Besides, I find the British to be awesome."
I stare at him, dumbfounded.
"Um... Thank you..."
"Hey, no prob. It's late... you should get going."
Another smile.
"I'll walk with you if you want."
I feel really warm inside. And before I realise it, I'm smiling too*
"I'd like that."
A series of poems I'm doing. I reveal parts of my past experiences with love, hate, confusion etc.
*Update:
Yeah ^^; also part of the "snow-kid" series. But I'll explain the whole meaning later ^.^
