'lia'

My anxiety is attacking me again. My heart beats rapidly, please not now. "Ok settle everybody" Ms. Clare stated into the class as every student of Class B is going back to their chairs after they had fun with their friends and tropapips. "Welcome to the school year 2017-2018!" She welcomed lightheartedly. "For this year, I'm your adviser Ms. Clare Dela Fuente, and your teacher in the subject of Creative writing and Philippine politics and government" she stated. As every word mumbled thru out of her lips, I kept picking my dead skin around my nails, until I got the attention of the new student standing beside me. "Uhm hey! I know you have anxiety, but try to calm down, everything will be alright, trust me" he said. I was too shocked to say a word because that's the first time that someone said that to me. Yes, I get everyone's attention when I'm having an anxiety attack, but all I hear from them was "you're acting up again" and you know what hurts the most, is that your parents act as they don't care about my mental health. I never wanted this kind of illness, I never did. I lost control of my mind and spaced out until Ms. Clare declared my name in a loud worried voice. "Ms. Gomez", "it's time for you to say hi to your classmates," she said and put on a smile."H-hi!" I stuttered, then this bully started laughing and said "our new classmate seems to have speech disorder!", "Hey! Yuno, that's not nice!" A girl sitting on the right side of the window said. I could not say anything but I just looked down and continued. "I am Louise Isabella Andrea Gomez, you can call me Lia for short, I'm from St. Paul College in Humss strand, thank you" I ended my introductory looking down. I sat in second to the last seat in the right corner. This "Yuno guy" is sitting right at my back! The next one who introduced was the caring guy earlier, he introduced..."Good morning, I'm Samuel Evans Ramos, I'm 17 years old from Cape Breton University in Sydney Canada, and I aim to take BS in psychology in the near future". Wow, I remembered when I was 5, there was this kid who also named Samuel Evans. He was so gusgusin that time, but I had a massive crush on him because he was so innocent and-"Ms. Clare, I feel like Lia fell for Samuel at first sight" he teased. "No, I don-" I stopped, I know. I know even if I try to explain I'll always be at fault. "Yuno, would you like to tell something about yourself?" Ms. Clare said with an evil smile. I hope he claims himself that he's a big bully. He cleared his throat and walk towards Samuel, and muttered "Get out""I am Yuno Liam Miller, 17 years of age, and uhm I'm the most pogi guy in here..." he stopped waiting for someone to laugh, I thought that it was funny that no one responded to that word context, so I accidentally giggled. He looked thru me, I feel like he's scanning me, it's like he's reading thru the deepest layer of my bones. "Ok, I aim to be a lawyer to stand up for the people who get framed for the things that they never did, and of course, as a lawyer, I would fight for my girl" he finished. To be honest, after what he said I feel like he's a nice guy after all, but the monster inside of him couldn't hide at all. 

*lunch*

"so hey!" Yuno waved and walked towards me, I didn't say anything cause he might bully me or say something not nice to me. I mean, I can't please all of the people that I meet or pass by but I just don't wanna hear ungrateful things from them. "Why's your skin kinda blue?" he asked, taking his seat in front of my bacon and cheese. "Are you possibly an alien?" he laughed, I took my cafeteria food and tried to leave. "Sit." he said, "what? are you gonna say mean things to me? I have congenital heart disease, that's why my skin is blue" I said, making things clear. Did I want my skin to be like this? For Pete's sake, I just wanted to feel normal, but these ungrateful brats keep being mean to me. What did I do to deserve this?..

"Just cure it, I guess," he said slowly, not probably thinking about his next move. This biatch is getting on my nerves... "How can you be a good lawyer if you can't discipline your frisky tongue?" I voiced so done with him, I don't want his company or anything with him. Just to think of it, you want to be a lawyer to let the people abide by the law that was stated in the republic, but you can't control your own inner monsters? What kind of lawyer would he possibly be! "Hey! It's just a joke, don't tell me you still act childish" he answered back, please Lord help me to not make patol of this jerk. "If I make a hole in your heart-" he interrupted and said while biting his lower lip, "make me".
