Where two parallel lines meet

Chanel’s POV

Tory ran over to me, "Axle and his crew are here Chanel!". Its been so long since I saw Axle. He barely even texts me or replies my texts. He doesn't even call me. During our last Collab I broke my feelings to him. He never gave me a response and that was the last I saw or heard from him.

"Where did you see them Tory?, Are you sure of what you're saying?" "Yes,infact they're having geology lectures as we speak at hall 251, Tonia and Cecilia are having the same lectures too. So they called me to tell you.

There's bad news too. Those two low class girls are also in the class and Tonia said they seemed to have caught the whole Crew's attention, even Axle's". I became furious. Those two girls had humiliated me yesterday in front of everyone now they intend on taking my man too? I'm not gonna let that happen.

Immediately after I was done with my lectures, I went to the hallway leading to the parking lot. I knew they'd come through through there since they always come with their cars. I decided to wait patiently until I saw the coming. Becca, Tory, Cecilia and Tonia also came with me.

I could see Axle, Carl, Liam and Blaise coming towards me. I immediately jolted up from where I was sitting and rushed over to Axle. He barely even acknowledged my presence. I believe it's because of those useless girls. I wonder how they got into our school.

Melissa's POV

Katie fell sick the next day so she couldn't go to school. I knew I was going to be lonely but I couldn't afford to miss school. I quickly showered and dressed up. I decided to put on my favourite Jean skirt and and my rosy pink top and my black converse sneakers.

I walked to school since I couldn't afford a cab. On getting to school, posters of what seemed like a big audition were being hung. I took a closer look and saw that there would be auditions in the school in two months for a spot on the 'Hott Pink' band. I really wanted to be a part of a band so I decided to sign up for auditions.

I went to where the registration forms were being sold. It turned out to be one of the mean girls distributing the forms. I tried to walk away but she stopped me "Hey, Melissa, I thought you were coming to get a form?" I stiffened "yes, but I changed my mind" ..."why?" She looked stern ." I just don't want trouble, we didn't meet on good terms so you might still be angry at me"

" You shouldn't let people's reactions stop you from getting to where you wanna be, I'm Isa by the way" she said handing me a form.

"I'll see you at the auditions in two months, and just so you know, you have to prep really hard if you're going to even be considered to qualify for the main auditions, see ya". I was puzzled. Was this some kind of joke? Just two days ago, she was among the three girls who bullied me and now? She's offering me a form to register and apply for such a big event? Without payments too? I found my way to the bathroom as I was pressed.

The mean girl, who had poured latte on my head two days ago and a few other girls were in there doing their makeup. Hoping they wouldn't notice me. "Hey!! Nerd!!, Just the person I was looking for" she stood up and walked towards me grabbing my top.

I heard you've been trying to catch my man's attention, you filthy thief !! Stay away from him she said just before ripping the shirt completely.the other girls stood up and dragged me into the toilet, they shoved my face into the toilet water and made me drink it.

They took my converse shoes and left me bare feet before laughing and walking away. I looked at my top in dismay, what did I ever do to deserve this treatment from those girl.

Now my top is totally ripped, I have no shoes on and Katie wasn't in school, I had no other friends in the school and I was probably going to fall very sick from drinking toilet water. I broke down into tears. I stayed in the toilet for about two hours crying all alone. No body walked in.

I felt a tap on my shoulders as I had dozed off while crying. It was Isa, " what happened to you Lissa?" She said giving me her jacket and sitting beside me. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks again. "It's your leader, your friends, they made me drink toilet water. Ripped my top and took my shoes.

Can you please tell me what I have ever done to offend you guys?" I sobbed continuously. Isa barely said anything, she stood up and left the toilet returning shortly after with a new pair of converse shoes, a new top and a tooth brush and paste. She helped me style my hair and gave me her number before leaving. "Why exactly was Isa being so nice to me. I thought she was part of the mean girls"

I left the bathroom and walked towards the books section. Our lecturers had adviced us to get textbooks before the next class. I looked at the prices of the books and each was higher than my aunt's monthly salary. I had saved just a few amount before moving to Canada and I had already used out of it.

All lectures had ended so I walked home. On getting home. I checked our mail as usual, our electricity and water bill had been posted. The amounts were heart breaking because I knew aunt Caroline didn't have so much money. I went into the house and straight to my room before bursting into another round of tears. I had been bullied all through my crèche, middle school and high school. Now I'm in the university it's still the same.

I laid on my bed still crying when I remembered I used to work at Los Angeles. I quickly logged into the @find a job website, uploaded my résumé and slept off.★★★★★
