I Need Someone Too

I Need Someone Too

Enemies with Perfect Eyeliner

 My name is Lucy. I’ve just moved to K City from X City with my mom and my older brother. Mom’s a nurse, always running night shifts. My brother goes to F.I.T.E College and juggles part-time jobs to help support us. And me? I’m a high school student. This is my final year.

Today was my first day at H.S.K. High School.

I stood in front of the towering school gate, heart pounding like it was trying to break free from my chest. The building looked so much bigger than my old school. Everything felt unfamiliar — louder, colder, judgmental. The second I stepped inside, I could feel it — dozens of eyes piercing right through me. I get it, I’m new... but seriously? I’m not some alien dropped from the sky.

As I walked down the hallway, trying to ignore the stares, I suddenly bumped into someone.

She stopped, glaring at me like I’d just spilled coffee on her thousand-dollar designer bag. She looked flawless — like a model straight out of a fashion magazine. Makeup on point, perfect posture, lips curled in disgust. And behind her stood two other girls, practically acting like bodyguards. They didn’t speak, but their glares did all the talking.

I blinked and quickly apologized, not wanting any trouble. But before I could get away, I heard her voice slicing through the hallway.

“How dare you bump into me! And run away?!”

I didn’t stop. I just walked faster, praying I’d never see her again.

Spoiler alert: I did. Very soon.

After a short meeting with the principal, I followed my new class teacher to my classroom. She looked serious — the kind of teacher who’d give detention for breathing too loudly. When we entered, she introduced me to the class and asked me to do the same.

I stood in front of a room full of strangers. Cold stares. Fake whispers. Disinterest. And then my eyes landed on her.

The girl from earlier — standing like a queen at her throne. Of course she’s in my class. And her minions too.

I finished my intro quickly and took the empty seat at the very back. Alone. Great start.

After surviving a painfully long hour of history, the bell finally rang for break time. While I was still trying to process the fact that I might have entered a teenage soap opera, I saw her again. She had a crowd around her, laughing at whatever came out of her lip-glossed mouth. Everyone adored her. Like she ruled the entire school.

First day and I was already in her bad books. Perfect.

I dragged myself to the canteen. No one talked to me. No one even tried. But I was used to eating alone, so it didn’t bother me as much as it should. I bought a sandwich and juice, found an empty seat, and recharged my energy. I was going to need it to survive Queen Shini and her court.

That’s her name — Shini. And her two shadows? Simi and Niti.

After lunch, I walked back into class. That’s when I heard it.

“I heard she pushed Shini.”

“Seriously? How arrogant.”

“She doesn’t even look sorry.”

Wow. That escalated quickly. People already had a whole story about me and none of it was true. I didn’t even touch her! But sure, believe whatever fantasy makes your day more interesting.

I didn’t respond. Just walked past them like I couldn’t hear a thing.

If they’re so quick to judge a stranger without even knowing her name properly, then no thanks. I’d rather sit alone than beg for fake friendships.

Finally, school ended. I packed my bag and left, exhausted but glad it was over. With no one at home — mom on duty, brother probably at work — I stopped by McDonald’s to get something to eat. Burger, fries, and coke — the cure to my mentally drained soul.

After packing my food, I stepped out. The street outside was quiet, a little too quiet for this time of day.

And then... I heard something.

A faint sound. A whisper? A footstep?

I stopped walking. Turned my head slightly. The sound came again — from the narrow alley beside the building.

I stood there, frozen.

It wasn’t over yet.

Not even close.
