Rain... Will It Heal My Wound?

...----------------...

Renny and Reo both were standing, probably thinking what to do next about it. But I was way too furious! He tells me that I should be thoughtful?! Is he dumb or what?! Before all the bullying and at the start I was actual human! It's those people who made me this way. Now I wouldn't react much or at all, because if I'd do, they'd even think that it's funnier... then they'd bully way more. Though at school I am the main bullying target. But I've changed only because of them, only for them. So that maybe they could leave me alone... but no! They just can't.

Then, while crying and sobbing, I stopped. So did they. Renny came comforting me. And he tried to calm me down. While Reo just stood there. This time I was way too tired to even run or do anything else.

"C'mon, everyone cries once in a while... But, you know, I've never seen someone look as...", Renny was telling me this in a very sweet voice and then made some pause right there, "...as pretty as you, while crying." He was smiling and I was just sobbing.

Then I felt warmness on top of my head. It was someone's hand. Someone was patting me. And then I lifted my head to see who it was. Reo. Wait... Reo?!

"I'm sorry.", he said while patting my head, "I owe you one... maybe even more. But, trust me, Renny is my very best friend and I only want the best for him... That's why it turned out this way." He wasn't looking at me, he was looking somewhere way further... Somewhere only he could've seen... I just don't know.

"And should I care?" I said while sobbing.

And then I felt his hand slip down on my shoulder and his gaze fixed up on me.

"Well I am sorry. And you'll see, so just watch!" He said it in more cheerful way. And had lots of confidence saying that! And then from my shoulder his hand slipped down my arm and then let go.

Renny wanted to make my mood better the whole way to the school. He tried to tell some fairy tales, comedies, jokes and more, but it was not what I was looking for at the moment... The reminded me how miserable my life is just a moment ago.

At the school gates I stopped, "We can go separately from now on. I... I'm not the right person to spend time at school with for sure..." There was sadness and pain in those words, which was clear enough.

"Lucy, the three of ours statuses are equal to us! Don't say so!!" Renny said almost crying...

Then I felt someone approach me, embrace my shoulders with strong arms and push me to walk forward, "What if I told you - I love you, Lucy?". I heard subtle Reo's voice whisper me...

Then I finally got to my senses, I then jumped forward and started walking myself, all blushing by the way... Aaaaa, I didn't expect that to happen! What's with him? I mean it's clear that he didn't mean those words, but I've heard them for the first time in the past about 10 years... That was a hard topping. And unexpected!

Then I didn't turn around the whole way to school. But then the bell rang and Renny said goodbye to Reo, then walked to his class. And as for Reo guy, he did chase after me and then started walking right next to me! I looked at him and saw him looking enywhere but at me.

Then we walked to class. Class boys didn't pay that much attention, but girls... they were on whole other stage!

"Tell me, Reo, do you... ehh... did you let her walk with you or something?" Mindy whispered while almost clinging onto him.

Then he suddenly filled the gap between us and stepped more to my side.

Just to stay as far from her as possible. Then turned to me and said,

"Don't you have anything to do before class starts?". Wait! The bell just rang and you're asking that?! Are you insane?!

"Just to go to my seat... and the bell already-"

"Hey! Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you talk to him like that?! Oh I'm gonna teach you!" Mindy has gone clearly insane. But then Reo took my wrist and lead me to my seat. Then sat next to me!

"Hey... what do you think you're doing? Did you eat something wrong?! That's not like you at all." I almost spit those words out.

"Clearly that's not like me. I know. " He said calmly. "But I cherish friendship, that should be clear enough by now I guess".

"So you think of me as friend? Or do you perhaps do this for Renny?" I said in curious tone.

He sighted, "Do you really need to know that?" He looked a bit dissatisfied and disappointed. "Don't you remember what I've whispered to you at the gates?" He smiled.

My cheeks got a bit redder than they usually were, "Is that some hint on your games or what? I'm not going to fool around..." then I whispered to myself "...specially with you...".

"You can accept it however you want to, not my choice this time." He smirked. That Reo guy was SO annoying!

And also he was sitting next to me now, and I could have felt all the girls being madly angry! I'm doomed...

...----------------...

The lesson started. Math. But I was with my head in the clouds this time.

I hadn't said a single word about my appearance. So that's how I look: long, dark hair; a round face; big eyes... nothing special, right? Except for the 'scar' on my face. This scar was not quite a scar. Actually that was make up, just that it looked like a real scar, I was advanced at doing make up. I started doing it at 5th grade. And the reason is so stupid, I know. It was because while growing up I had so mane pretty features and I looked so cute and pretty. Everyone would tell me that all the time. And then when I was in about 4th grade, girl classmates to get more and more jealous. They started doing anything that would come to their mind to try to ruin my looks. Just like cutting my hair, painting my face 'accidentally' and so many more of such things! They'd get worse and worse.

So one day I've made up my mind. I faked an accident and after that was injured. Those girls classmates saw it all, I made that happen as well. I had everything planned well. Then after that I'd do some scary make up as if it was scar on my face. Of course at home I wouldn't wear such make up or being with parents or sometimes in public as well. That's how everyone who I wanted to and even more of people were fooled by me. Such little girl in 5th grade... Now I'd only try to ignore rain or water dropping on my face.

...----------------...

After lesson, I walked to the other classroom, but guess what. The Reo guy followed me. That continued for the rest of the school day. But once he walked me out of school, he walked the other way. Didn't even say a single thing!

Then I walked to the city, because I wanted to go for some shopping. I had some money saved up specially for this. My clothes were actually quite old and all the same... I needed something new, or maybe more wanted to have some more. I've seen so many amazing new styles!

Then I went to a sport clothes shop. And there I found some pretty fit. I decided to buy it. But as I was walking to the cashier, someone grabbed my wrist angrily, then pulled me to the change room and with knife cut my hand. I wanted to scream, but the person, who was behind me now, put their hand on my mouth with some napkin, which smelled weird. Then they, or more specifically she whispered, "I told you that I'll punish you for what you did today, right?". Hell no, that was none other than Mindy!!!

I blacked out.

...************...

...After 2 hours...

...************...

Then I finally opened my eyes. I thought that I slept for about 10 minutes, but then I checked the clock and realized that I was asleep and unconscious for even 2 hours! Is that possible?!

Then I quickly grabbed that fit, which I wanted to buy, and bought it.

Then I walked out of the shop and decided to go straight back home.

I went the way, which was not that crowded and had even a park path! Which I was walking through peacefully. There were no people. Now I was thinking that Mindy was actually really unstable with herself and had some problem, which she should take care of. What she did was unreasonable and unthinkable!

"Oh wait, oh my, and I just now realized that I didn't even take care of the wound yet... what a pity. Up until now I didn't realize that my clothes were all bloody. Now I at least figured out why people looked at me with that strange look..." it was boring, so I started talking to myself.

Then I couldn't hold back anymore. My hands were shivering because of the realization which I just had gotten into me now...

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

...Marks System...

...----------------...

Our world has its unique system. It helps to save lives or take them away easier. Mark would be like a tattoo. Every single person since their life begins - since birth - has mark. It would be on different places on each individuals' bodies... which actually makes it hard to find it quick if needed. But mostly those marks would be on arms, legs, neck and sometimes somewhere on the belly or back. If anywhere else than that, then it is quite rare! So those marks shows if you're dying. Like if you're really sick - the mark of yours would start to fade away little by little, as much as much that illness progresses (depending on illness progressing speed). And if someone hurts you badly, and you start to lose a lot of blood - mark will fade away way faster.

And that really helps if you get ill badly. Then the mark would start to fade away, and you'll see that and will understand that something is wrong, and that you can change that since it's not too late yet.

So if you'd think about it, only dead ones do not have that mark anymore. And every single person alive must have it. That's how it'd work.

My mark is near my shoulder, above my heart. So kinda on my chest, in the corner of it.

And for some reason so many of girls would hide away their mark with make up, though some boys too. Or they just wouldn't show it much. Actually boys are more likely to show their marks than girls.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Then... then it started to rain. Little by little. Raining. It's raining, Lucy. Hang on. And I was lucky enough, because there was nobody around.

Nobody is a dangerous word. Really... Because sometimes you don't even see how someone would be watching you, or maybe you are just not able to see if they're watching, because you aren't available to do so since maybe there is someone other than human.
