Enemies around (part 5)

Rudy followed Anne to the school garden where he met her crying. 'Thank goodness she's not running away from school' he said under his breath. He turned to go, then he felt he should help the 'maiden in distress'. Turning back to where Anne was, he sat down on one of patios, a little closer to where Anne was. 'Sorry 'bout what happened today and what you've been going through in school since you came. Those girls may insult you but you gotta be strong and brave okay?' He got no response from Anne who was just nodding her head. Feeling he had not said enough, he continued, 'you see, when I newly came into this school, these girls bullied me and there was even one of them, Suzy. She's more cruel than Sue, Cathy and Mytchelle but look at me, I survived'. Anne looked at Rudy and asked him 'what did you do?' Rudy smiled at her and said 'perseverance and patience. Um ... I have to go back to classes and I think you should do same. C

            *        *       *       *  "Hello mom" Anne had had enough of her mates. She felt like she was unwanted around the school and the more irritated merely seeing the school. She couldn't help but being angry at herself for not retaining herself in Rosslyn's. The voice she began with was so down-casted,that her mom became alarmed," Dear, what is wrong with you? Are you alright? How well are you getting along in your school?" Those words were kinda like a blow on her face because defenately  her answers were a big NO. She wanted to say nothing but she  couldn't keep to herself. At least she had to tell her mom " Mom, school wasn't great. On the actual sense,I've not enjoyed my stay in this school. Not one bit! I'm tired of this school, I mean,tired of all bullies especially Sue and Mytchelle and Barbara and Eve and ... I'm tired!" She screamed over the phone. Her mom was indifferent "Anne,it was your choice, I and

Greyanne  went to the yard to cool of her head"am I really spoilt as my classmates says?" she asked herself. "No you are not" both parents said as they took there seats on the chairs that were neatly arranged in a circular fashion around the table provided with Anne being in the middle. "But what what makes you think that you're spoilt? that your classmates sees you as one or that you take yourself as one?" her dad asked kindly. Anne just bowed her head, mute. "Sweetie you're not spoilt" her mom said, raising her head up, making sure their eyes met. "If your classmates are jealous of you, you don't have to be bothered. And if they pester you again, then we'll send some corps to that school. Right baby? ..." she asked, looking at her husband while he nodded. "Thanks mom, thanks dad but ... you don't understand what I'm facing in school. I ..." Anne was still talking when her mom cut her shut "to hel

She didn't know what to do. She looked at the masseuse disbelievingly and repeated the words to be sure she heard her well. "I should ignore them?" The masseuse nodded  affirmatively. 'I can't ignore them. They'll  think I'm a weakling'. she thought to herself as the Massage made her to sleep off.  On that new resolve in her mind, she began to think less about the treatment she got in school as she got out of the spa and both parents looked happy as they drove back home.                   *    *    *    *    *    *   The winter break was over and Greyanne  was ready to go back to school and her Mom was helping her to arrange her things. While her Mom dusted her boots, she said "you really enjoyed yourself during the holidays so obviously you'll have a lot to tell your friends in school". Anne mumbled under her breath 'friends indeed, if only I had one ... " Her mom heard heard her from behind and said "Anne, what do you me

Anne really needed to ask someone what to do in her helpless situation. Definitely not her parents,but who? She looked up slowly to the masseuse. It seemed irresponsible to ask for her opinion but then who else could she tell? Subconsciously,she started talking and for some unknown reason she couldn't bring her self to halt"Thank you ma, but I would love to seek your opinion about something,ma" ,the young lady looked at her reassuringly"what is the problem, mademoiselle?she asked questionably with her melodious french accent . Anne found strength and she asked"ma'am, what do you do if , you were in school and everyone deserts you ... maybe because you are richer than them and they're jealous of you ... and what if you can't tell your parents? ... " The masseuse pondered over what she said. "Simple ignore whatever they say or do and if they don't succumb, I'll report to the higher authorities" she said and continued her with her

                       *      *       *      *                                "Anne... Anne ... Greyanne  dear" her mom and dad stood by her door and called to her but she refused to answer so they left her to sort whatever that was bothering her. Anne locked her self indoor since she came back and now it was already three days. Her parents were already alarmed as she hadn't eaten for three days on a row,she refused to open the door to both her parents and maids in fact, she didn't step up from her bed. She was angry, at her school for making her remember each day that trouble was always looming, her classmates who made her stay in school more like a prison,at her parents for giving her every thing she needed, making her seem like a spoireasrnld, and at her self for no reasonable reason. The pangs of hunger gripped her tightly but she refused to give in. Later her mum came to the front of her door. "Anne, please open the door,I know you are sad and angry but lock

The humiliation was continually aggravating each blessed day as long as she was retained in the school. It didn't take long before she realized that she was not welcomed in the class and the good comments from the teachers being a genius didn't help her situation. She refused to consider telling her dad as he was battling with high blood pressure and that would just worsen his situation so she continued to suffer in silence. The pain continued for a while,it temporarily paused during the winter break because everyone had gone home of course. Greyanne  had to fake a smile to her parents when they came to pick her up. She took an A in her subjects making her the first in her class and most reserved student in the class. "Nobody wants to accept me no matter how I try. If I  had known, thought have retained myself in Rosslyn if I knew that this would be my fate." After taking taking her shower,she sat down to eat a sumptuous meal of poutine. She was deep in thought and un

 It was another bright morning in Rain forest school and lectures had started in Anne's class. She had practically forgotten about the yesterday's incidence. The first subject teacher, Mrs Bridget took no nonsense when matters such as ' no textbook ' particularly in her subject. She didn't even want to hear the available excuse. "Can y'all open your textbooks to page 14". She was really not in the mood for naughty excuses. After she was through with writing the topic on the white board,she turned to the class with eyes as sharp as a hawk. Her eyes were swift enough to catch an offender." Hey,Sue where is ya textbook? " she fired hardly. Sue rubbed the back of her neck searching for a tangible reason. "Actually ma'am, my dad said ...". Mrs Bridget cut her short." I don't care and I don't give a hoot on whatever your dad said. Now tell him when you get home, that I said until you get a textbook,I don't wanna see y

Episode 1 : A blonde girl sat sitting on her reading table in the cool of the evening. It was Greyanne and she was reading the diary she used as a high school student in Roselyn high school . 'Old memories down the crooked lane' she read aloud as that was the last note she took down in her diary. A story of fear,conquering,tragedy,moving forward ...                     *    *    *   * September 27                                                       Dear diary,today was my first day in school. I wanted a change of school but my parents preferred I stay in Rosslyn, where I just graduated and being their sweet only child, they have to do what I want so they agreed and now I'm in Rainforest. It's nice being a senior anyways, commanding, and all that stuff. I was posted to grade 10A,a class meant for brains like myself. I met new friends, a few old ones but everything still looks new. There are only two blondes in my class,myself and Rudy, an handsome and tall guy. There a
