Days have passed. Janice and I became close with Matthew and his friends that we always hang out with each other and eat every break time together. They're now eating in the cafeteria but most of the time, we often eat in the rooftop.
"Angelo texted me. They're already there in the rooftop." Said Janice.
"Wait." I said then I hurriedly opened my locker to put my books there only to be surprised of the trashes inside it. It all fell in front of me. Who did this to my locker?
"Miel! Are you okay?" Janice immediately asked then she checked me. "What the hell? Who did this?" She asked with her furrowed eyebrows.
"She deserves it." Someone said at my back. I turned around to see who it is.
"Ahliya." Said Janice and Ahliya just answered by raising her eyebrow.
"You're the one who did this to her?" Janice asked.
"Yes. She deserves it anyway." Ahliya answered.
"She deserves it? How can you say that? She's not doing anything wrong." Janiced said, defending me.
"Yes she's not doing anything wrong. It's just that she's a trash and she does not belong here. I'm just letting her know so she will know her place." Ahliya said then she glared at me. "I'm just being a thoughtful schoolmate." She added then she went closer to me. "This is my first warning. Know your place, ugly girl." She whispered then she left with her friends.
"Why would she do that?" I asked Janice since I have never experienced talking to her. We don't even have any contact. Why would she do that?
"I don't know either. Let's go. Don't mind her. You're not doing anything wrong." She said, comforting me. She held my wrist then pulled me towards the door. "Let's go." She said.
"What took you so long?" Matthew asked the moment we entered the rooftop.
"Sorry. Something just came up." I answered.
"What is it?" He asked.
"It's a girl thing." I answered so he won't ask more. I don't want to bring Ahliya up in our conversation. I am afraid that it might ruin his mood.
"Okay. Let's eat." He said then he went to the table
"Why didn't you tell him?" Janice whispered the moment Matthew turned his back from us.
"I don't want to ruin his mood. I don't want to bring up her name." I answered.
"Okay. I respect that." She answered then we both sit in front of the table.
There are lots of food here. And Janice and I did not spend even a cent here because those three boys bought all of these.
But I can't focus. I am thinking about Ahliya.
It makes me feel afraid. The looks from her face. She's mad at me and if she chose to bully me, others will be in her side no matter how wrong she was.
"Hey." I heard Matthew, trying to catch my attention. Seconds after, I saw a hand waving up and down near my eyes then I realized that it's Matthew's hand.
"Huh?" I said then I looked at Matthew.
"Is there something wrong? You're spacing out." He said while staring at me, trying to read what's in my mind.
"No. I'm okay. What is it again?" I asked, asking what did he tell me a while ago.
"Are you sure?" He asked, not minding my question.
"Yup." I answered with a smile to make him convinced that I'm okay.
"Okay. Let's eat." He said. I was about to put some foods in my plate but surprisingly, there's a bunch of food in there already. I looked at Matthew and he just smiled.
"Eat now." He said while smiling. God! that smile!
"Okay." I said then I looked away. "You too." I whispered then I ate continuously out of nervousness that made me choke.
"Hey, are you okay?" Matthew asked then he gave me a glass of water. I immediately took it and drank it.
"T-thank you." I said then I continue on eating again.
"Slow down. I know you're heart is racing but you are not in a race. Eat slowly." Janice whispered in my ears.
"Shut up!" I hissed which made her laugh so I just rolled my eyes.
I was about to took a spoon of food again when I suddenly felt like my head is shaking and I feel like I'm going to vomit. So I immediately stood up then I went to the side of the rooftop where in the ground floor is the back part of the school then there, I vomited all the foods that I ate.
"Miel!" I heard all of them calling.
"What happened?" Said Matthew then he caressed my back while I'm vomiting.
I breathed deeply after vomiting everything. Then Matthew gave me a tissue which I used in wiping my mouth.
"Thank you." I said then I faced him.
"What happened to you?" He asked.
"Huh?" I innocently asked.
"Your face is freaking red!" He said with a little panic that made me froze for a while.
"Matthew." I called.
"Why?" He asked.
"That pasta that we ate, does it have a seafood ingredient?" I asked, praying that it's not. But I can feel that I can hardly breathe. Now I am sure that it has a seafood ingredient.
"Yes. It is shrimp flavored." Matthew said that made me nervous.
"Why?" He asked.
"I-I'm allergic---" I wasn't able to finish what I'm saying because it is really hard to breathe so I am inhaling and exhaling deeply which they all noticed.
"She's allergic with seafoods! Bring her to the clinic now, Matthew." Said Carl which Matthew immediately followed. He lift me then he hurriedly went out of the rooftop to go to the clinic.
I was breathing deeply. It was really hard to breathe. I feel like I'm chasing the oxygen but it doesn't want to be chased.
"Hold on, Miel." That's all that I heard then everything happened so fast and everything that I see went blurry till all I can see is darkness.
