Rebirth Of An Abused Girl

Chapter 10 : New Friend

Felicity gasped in horror when Helena pushed that girl on the floor. She sat on her seat like a statue. She saw Karina took her bowl of porridge and dropped that over that poor girl's head. Karina snarled at that girl, "You don't dare to look at us with your ugly eyes again. Don't ever forget your place, b.itch. Did you get it?" She was giving a disgusted look to that girl. That girl was crying bitterly. Felicity's chest clenched in pain when her eyes fell on that girl's bruised elbow. Whimpering, that girl said, "Yes, ma'am. I am sorry. It won't happen again" Helena looked pleased. She put on an arrogant mask and praised her by saying, "Hump, Good girl." Later she hissed at her, "Now, get the hell out of my sight." That girl hurriedly stood up. 

Felicity observed that girl's cheeks heated up in shame and tears were flowing down from her eyes. She was embarrassed when she found some of the students in the cafeteria were either laughing at her or giving her a sympathetic look. Some were giving her a disgusted look. Felicity could feel the pain of that girl. Wiping her tears, that girl ran out of that cafeteria. Felicity wanted to help that girl, but she could not. She was sick of those notorious girls who Rosalyn used to see as her best friends. They were laughing shamelessly. How could they laugh at her? Don't they have a heart? Or everything about rich people is artificial? Felicity fixed her gaze on her half lunch and found she did not even finish half of it. 

Felicity asked herself how could they laugh to see someone in pain? Well, you were also in pain before your rebirth. Was there anyone who tried to help you or shed a single tear for you after seeing you struggling that hard! No. The world is cruel and selfish. God gives you a second chance to help others who are in trouble and pain and also to take your revenge. But I can't pull some stunt that might make others suspicious of my character. Felicity's appetite died. She felt like she will throw up. 

She did not want to waste her food as she knew the value of food. So, she began shoving her half-eaten sandwich in her mouth. Then she gulped down her orange juice. She felt like throwing up at any moment. But she resisted that. She was sweating and bile rose in her throat. Her packet of cookies is still untouched. She took that inside her bag and looked at the apple carefully. She could not eat anymore. 

Erica was observing Rosalyn very keenly. She knew something was wrong. She looked worried to see how pale Rosalyn looked at that moment. She asked, "What is wrong with you, Rosalyn? Why are you so pale?"Felicity could not seat there anymore. She has to throw up. After seeing that bulled girl made her remember the scenes before her rebirth. She stood up and said in a flat tone, "I will be back soon." With that, she took her tray and left that canteen after throwing that inside a garbage can. She took her pace toward the girl's washroom. 

As she reached there, she immediately went inside a bathroom and throw up. After she was done, she flashed whatever she ate for the lunch. She felt relieved. She came out from that bathroom and went toward the sink to wash her mouth and face. She looked at the mirror and saw how pale she looked, and her eyes were lifeless. She closed her eyes and decided to go somewhere to fresh her mind. Thinking, she left that washroom and began walking from the hallway while ignoring everyone's stare at her. She stopped recalling everything from Rosalyn's memory and also her before the birth scenario. She blocked everything and kept her eyes fixed on the front. 

When she stopped walking, she found that part of their school was less crowded. There were a little garden and a beautiful pond surrounded by marble stones. The weather was warm and the heat of sunlight was sweet. As her eyes fell on a bench, she sat on that. She kept her eyes fixed on the water. Small fishes were playing in the water. She wondered if in their world cruelty does exist or not. If she was not Rosalyn, she would have gone to help that girl even if she had to face her share of bullies. It was suffocating for her to breathe in the same air where Helena and Karina kinds of girl exist. 

She felt her feet felt heavy. She looked down and found a puppy was sitting on her shoe. That puppy was staring at Felicity with rounded eyes. Seeing that puppy, her mood brightened instantly. 

Cooing, she scooted down and took that puppy in her arms. "Hey, little one."  He licked her cheek which made her giggle. "Where are you coming from?" That puppy barked at her.

She asked in a soft tone, "Are you hungry, buddy?" He wagged his tail. 

Felicity laughed at the little pup and said, "Do you like to have some cookies?" 

*Bark* *Bark* 

He barked twice and wagging his tail furiously. Felicity chuckled and said, "Okay, okay. I got you. Let me take that packet of cookies out from my bag for you. Can you wait for a second, cutie?" He barked again in agreement. She giggled at his cuteness. 

Felicity opened her bag and took out her cookie packet from her bag. Tearing that packet, she took out one cookie and began feeding that brown fur dog. Looking at that dog carefully, she knew very well, that dog was not a street dog, but someone's pet. Felicity wanted to talk with someone. But she knew well no one could understand her misery. The more is, they might use her weakness someday against her.

Looking at that puppy, she decided to talk with him. At least this puppy is trustworthy. She said, "You know, buddy, I am in a deep mess. I have no way out. Even if I want to stop something which I don't want to happen with someone, I can't stop, you see. My hands are bounded. I have to stay strong, right?" 

After finishing those cookies, that puppy looked at Felicity and barked. The way he was looking at Felicity, made her feel as if he understood everything. 

Smiling at him, she patted his head and said with a soft smile on her face, "It is nice talking to you, buddy. Thank you for listening to me and showing your understanding after hearing my words. Do you like to be my friend, buddy? I will bring cookies for you every day." 

That puppy barked and rubbed his face over Felicity's chest. She laughed at h- oh, yes. He is a boy. 

Soon, a big smile appeared on her face. She took out her cookies and showed him with a grin. He barked and jumped to take that from her hand. 

Finally, I got a good genuine friend in this cruel world. He will never betray me, right?
