Bring.....
As I started packing for class, I heard the school bell ring. I'm not sure why I wasn't just feeling like school today. Or perhaps I know.
"Urghhhhhh" I sighed loudly, drawing the attention of people around me. I uncomfortably entered my class to sat down. Looking exhausted, I barely paid attention to the teachers. I really don't care at this time.
"Miss Adele," I heard my name, along with a pat from my neighbor. I came to my senses and attempted to balance myself.
"Yes, Miss Stella," I said, immediately standing up and focusing my attention on her.
"Are you with us, young miss?" she questioned me, alarmed.
"I am fine, ma'am," I simply said.
"Please take your seat." I sat calmly. And please! Can these folks quit staring at me? If eyes could kill, their look would have finished me by now.
Bring....
As soon as I heard the bell, I stood up and left the class without waiting to see if it was actually over. The day isn't even getting any better.

"Crest, can we talk?" I said as I sat down at his favorite table to talk to him. He didn't say anything, but gave me a blank expression.
"Excuse me, can you give me some privacy?" I told his friends who paid me zero attention.
"Larry, Konthe, Ylli please allow me some space,” I said softly to his friends with a thin smile on my face - more like one compassionate smile. “Look, I can't go on to pretend, Crest, you you two need to work things outand Adele, I love you so much,” said Ylli holding his lunch at another table to bite. I think the atmosphere was very embarrassing for her. She never loved emotional stress since I met her.
Can you tell me what's happening on? So you've been planning to get rid of me for a long time," I replied, as Konthe stood up to depart softly, his face filled with pity.
At this moment, I decided to seek information directly from the source. I need an explanation here.
"Crest," I yelled out to him. He didn't stop eating lunch, and he pretended I wasn't even talking to him.
I decided to place my hand on his shoulder to gain his attention.
"Crest," I cried, placing his hand on my shoulder, which he shook off.
"Can we talk?" I decided to respect his privacy and come to terms with his off energy, he didn't hear me the first time and still he didn't move an inch.
"Can we talk?" I chose to respect his privacy and accept his lack of energy; he didn't hear me the first time and remained still.
"Can we..." "Do I need to say "yes" before stating your purpose for being here?" He abruptly cut me off, my mouth still parted in surprise.
"Be quick with what you have to say, please," he urged, as if he didn't care about me, leaving me with a shocked and wondering expression on my face.
"Wow" was all I could say as I tried to make my way to class. Gently arranging my stuff and getting ready to leave.
"You know, this might be the last time we've had a reasonable non-academic conversation," he said softly, making me stand in wonder. His face remained expressionless.
Why is he so chilly with me? I haven't seen him like this in so long.
"If you don't want to talk to me, please tell your parents what is going on. "They are aware of the promises you made to me," I added, hoping he would be compassionate. Probably come to his senses and then surprise me with an embrace. Maybe he'd just say he was pulling a joke on me or something.
"I don't think there's anything you need to worry about Adele, I already told them what they need to know"
Wait! Did he call me Adele?
"Can this prank stop already?" I exclaimed at the top of my voice.
"Don't fuckin' stress me out, young lady, and have a good day," he yelled angrily as he rushed off, leaving his meal behind.
"Suit yourself," I yelled after him, only to realize everyone was staring at me.
"And y'all should mind your fuckin' business," I growled as I marched out of the cafeteria, already enraged, tears welling in my eyes. I can't let all of these people see me, at the very least. Not today.
