Confused
DABBY:
I left the school premises but did not want to go home, which left me with the decision of visiting the main town to do whatever I liked. I got an idea after I saw the huge cinema in front of me the moment I dropped from the bus, and quickly paid for a ticket so as to watch the next movie .
It was fun to watch and I spent more than two hours at the cinema, that I had temporarily forgotten the problem I had left behind in school. After the movie ended, I walked into a random mall I saw, to pick out some nice outfits for myself since it had been a while since I went shopping.
I approached the makeup session after realizing that I didn’t have any makeup for myself, and picked out different colors of lipstick, eye shadow and nail polish. I picked some hair products too, and anything I felt like I needed.
After I was done shopping, I went to a park and spent the rest of the day there till evening, eating and scrolling through the internet. By the time I was ready to go home, I knew that Mason would be worried sick already, but I wanted him to just be a normal student without me.
I would feel too guilty to bother him. I didn’t also forget to return back to the pharmacy, to get my wound dressed.
After I returned back home with my shopping bags, and hung around our street for some minutes, so as to be sure that some obsessed person didn’t stalk Damien to confirm the truth.
Still not convinced that someone couldn’t be lurking around to see who would enter through the gate, I settled for another solution which led me to using the back gate for the first time. It had a pair of its own key attached to my bunch of keys, but I had never had a reason to use it.
Immediately I got into the house and went upstairs to my room, I brought out my phone immediately and switched it on. There were tons of messages on my phone which were mostly from Mason, and the rest came from the students private chat forum.
It was exploding with students’ comments and questioning remarks that were all directed to me, demanding an explanation. They also didn’t forget to cuss at me, when someone informed everyone that I ran away from school.
The threats from some girls about following me wherever I went was scary, and I knew that I had to do something before the matter got worse. They also talked about being too scared to ask Damien about the truth.
I was expecting the whole me and Damien issue to have died down by evening better or still the next day, but they were all still talking about it even till the very hour I was checking my phone. They promised to find me.
I shook my head in pity for myself. Those scary girls, which were mostly Damien’s flings, were threatening to do wicked things to me. Yet, no one was talking about the fact that Damien stood up for the truth and denied it.
He would know already that the students forum was a mess already because of our forbidden scandal, still, he was allowing people to grind me up again mercilessly with their words. My life was too sad.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Regardless I could not run away from school or everyone forever. I had to think of a solution.
As soon as I was about to switch off my phone and think of a solution to the situation by myself, Mason’s call came through and I knew I had to pick it up. He was literally the only person that cared.
“Dabby! You scared me, the way you ran off like that. You put off your phone too,” Mason’s voice chided.
The fact that he was scolding me brought some kind of relief to my heart, that I wasn’t alone, and that someone trusted me. He wasn’t even pissed after I acted that way.
“I am sorry, Mason. I didn’t mean to run off like that, but I just wanted everything to be fine within me,” I tried to explain to him in the best uncomplicated way, and he understood every single thing I was saying.
“You don’t have to apologize. That was too much to handle by yourself, and your stupid ass step brother who should be handling the issue, is probably out with his friends. You can do whatever you want, Dabby,” He encouraged.
“You predict really well. He isn’t even home,” I chuckled, and shrugged at the same time. I was really by myself without no one to work it out for me, or do the solution thinking for me.
“So how are you now? Are you good now?” He asked, and I just sighed tiredly. I wasn’t feeling good, because I didn’t have any clue of what I could do to make the situation better.
“Yeah. Turns out that I have not had fun by myself in a long while. Visited the cinema today. Sat at the park all day. Bought makeup that I do not even use,” I seethed and let out a loud laughter, as I thought of everything that I had done all day.
I couldn’t believe that I was the one talking so lively, without thinking about what was coming for me the next day. It was really fun actually, bailing out of school.
“That is so nice, Dabby. Turns out you even have more fun than I do. You are doing really well,” Mason rubbed it in and laughed. “Concerning the situation now, you don’t have to come to school tomorrow. Weekend is approaching already, so it would pass naturally…………”
“Wait, Mason. I’m sorry. I will call back. My mum is calling. She has even sent a text and email in a few minutes. I will call you back,” I told him and hung up immediately.
