(4) 11years later

Bells ring, students begin to invade the Halls of the school, I look down so I wouldn't get to make eye contact with anyone, I always wear a hood so I can seem invisible, so no one can notice me, but yet they seem to do, I've gotten all the nicknames, hoodie bandit, gangster princess, masked, unknown face, a dead girl walking, all kinds. but I choose not to listen and just ignore them, some people won't stop until they're sure it hurt you or you react in any way, well I can say in my case I don't even bother, when they get tired they'll stop, they always do.

It's been like that for as long as I can remember, I mean I've tried making friends but no one seems approachable, they all kind of push me away, in the beginning, it was sad and lonely but now am very much use to it, there where rumors once that I was possessed and some that am a devil worshipper, I don't even know where they got that idea from, it got so bad that the principal had to contact my parents. why don't they just leave me alone? i don't know.

"Hey there weirdo," A jock said as he slaps the back of my head which makes me fall, he and his crew laugh as they pass by stepping on my books one by one. I don't even know why they do it, what's the fun in hurting or messing with people

"Here let me help you" I raise my head and see a blonde with a ponytail with big round glasses, as she smiles you can see the silver braces on her teeth

"Umm...no thanks I got it," I said as I put my head down and begin to pick up my stuff

"What's your name " I just remained silent

"Aren't you gonna tell me?" I just stood up from the ground looked into her eyes and just walked away, I could tell she hesitated to call me back, I just focused on leaving the school.

I don't have any friends, right from day one, there's something off about me, my mum always told me am special,I never knew what she meant by that, all I know is am different I can feel it. I stood near a bus stop, I don't like taking the school bus, it's full of bully's and annoying people, I just like staying on my own, it's best. Soon a bus arrives I get in, I sit next to an old lady at the back of the bus, I look at my necklace, the necklace my parents told me never to take off

"What's your name child " I look at her and reply

"Why do you wanna know, we just met" what's up with people wanting to know my name all of a sudden

"I know that, but why don't you wanna tell me, your parents told you not to speak to strangers?" Is she for reals right now

"You know what, they did, and I don't seem to know why you wanna know"

She looks at me, and smile 

"You just look like someone I knew a long time ago like 16years I think"

"Well I doubt that cause I was like a newborn at that time"

"Well, the girl I knew was little too, what was her name again.... hmm..."I looked at her trying to remember I just giggle a little and I just turned my face away

"Precious," I said looking forward "my name is precious" I look at the lady

"Well, that's a pretty name for a pretty girl" she smiles

"Yeah, so what was the name of the girl you said I look like?"

"Oh ...Did I say that? I don't remember"

I just looked up and laughed, this lady is unbelievable

The bus stops, and people began to come down, I was about standing up when the old lady held my hand

"Could you be a dear and pay my bus fee" I looked at her pitiful eyes and nod yes

I pay the bus driver fee for two.he looks at me

"You're paying double?"

"Yeah one for me and the old lady over there, I said pointing at the old lady who was still sitting at the back sit" the driver turns and looks over at the direction

"I don't see anyone there " I laugh

"You're kidding, right? I mean look at her she's sitting right over there "

He looks again

"Look, kid, if you want to pay me extra, you don't have to start playing games with me" I was speechless, I just left the bus and begin to walk away

But am sure I saw her, why couldn't he, am sure he's just playing with me, or he has an eye problem or something.

Cause I had a conversation with her, I mean people saw us talking right?

Or did they?

Snap out of it, clearly from my perspective am the sane one. I saw an old lady, spoke to her, she seemed a bit crazy, she asked me to pay her bus fee.end of story. These were my thoughts till I got home

_____ "mum, Dad am home," I said as I slammed the door

"How was school today honey," my mum asks from the kitchen

"Same as always " without another word I just went upstairs to my room

"Is she okay?" my mum asked my dad

"Am sure she is, you know how teenagers are"

"I know but still, she's been so off these days, I can't help but worry"

"You always worry"

_______ I took a shower to clear my mind, I tie a towel around my waist and one on my head, I come out of the bathroom I was about removing the towel from my waist when I sighted a guy on my bed, I try screaming but before I could, he covers my mouth with his hands

"Don't make a sound" I nod, I hear my mums voice

"Is everything ok in there honey" he nods yes looking at me, he slowly removes his hands

"Yes mum am fine" he whispers, good girl, he lets go and dive on my bed

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" he looks at me and smiles "are you from school? , did they dare you to do this cause there's nothing for me to show"

"Chill lady, Forgive me, let me introduce myself, I am Tommy but my friends call me Tom, wait no they just call me Tommy" he laughs

What the-
