Tic...Tac
Tic... Tac
Ti—
"Hey Till, what's up?" Ivan leaned onto me, while trying to begin a conversation "you're in the clouds again, I feel ignored."
His voice made the sound of the clock disappear.
I looked at him, his head was on my shoulder while we were on front of my locker, he was making puppy eyes for some weird reason.
"Get away from me, Ivan." I looked away, not only because I would want him to respect my personal space
But also because I was literally wearing my hellfire t-shirt.
Which I will NOT take off, but if someone sees him acting this way towards me, they might tell the captain and he will kick him out of the basketball team.
Because that stupid team captain genuinely hates our club.
I honestly don't know why, probably because his brain is as small as his p—
"Okay, but hear me out." Ivan said finally standing up on his own. "We need to go to Starcourt."
I looked at him for a second before making a face, I don't like places with a lot of people.
And I don't want to see that place.
"No thanks, I prefer to play D&D" I said grabbing the last book I needed from my locker.
He looked at me with boring eyes, he opened his mouth, he closed it, he opened again... And then he closed it again.
"Loser."
"What did you just said?" I was ready to show him what a real punch felt like.
He gave me that look again before sticking out his tongue and walking away.
"Loserrrrrrrrr" He said before completely disappearing in the hallway full of people.
I promise, one day I am going to punch his stupid and annoying face.
I took my portable headphones out of my pockets and walked through the hallways searching for my class.
I should've stayed home today, because I feel so out of character.
I wonder if I will see Mizi today... What am I even saying? That childish love I had has to stay in the past.
Specially after I found out she's gay.
Is not like I am homophobic or something, I truly couldn't care less. But is pretty weird seeing two woman's liking each other.
She told me this two weeks ago so I guess I am still adapting, but in the deep of my heart... I am glad, and really happy to know that Mizi trusts me enough to tell me that.
The weirdest part of all is that I wasn't even surprised.
Mizi truly doesn't know how to hide her feelin—
¡Pum!
"I—I am sorry."
I looked at the girl who just ran into me,
She had a high blonde ponytail and blue makeup on the eyes, I immediately recognize from the cheerleader team.
I didn't even had time to say "it's okay" because she ran off.
She looked like she was on a hurry, anyways is not like I care.
Thinking back at what Ivan said, why would he ask that when he knows I don't like that place anymore...
Well, it's not like I told him the reason tho.
And I don't plan to, every since I saw that thing... I feel a weird vibe on that place.
Something I can't truly tell anyone or they'll think I am crazy.
Something I can't really understand...
When I finally arrived to luchroom I sat with the freaks from the Hellfire club.
"Yo, yo, yo! Little emo has finally come!" Eddie literally screamed the second I sat on the table.
"What's up?" I asked like if I truly cared when I barely know their names, well I do kind of consider them as friends I guess.
"Lucas is not coming again and they want to postpone the cult, isn't that stupid!?" he threw a random pretzel at me.
I grabbed the pretzel from my hair and threw it back at him.
"Wait who's Lucas again?" I asked genuinely out of place, Eddie didn't answered.
Instead he stood up on the fucking table and started name dropping some randoms tables.
I continued eating my food not caring at all, school food is horrible by the way.
I stopped eating when someone slowly touched my shoulder, I looked up and saw this random boy's face.
"Oh, umm... Hey!" he said nervously for some reason. They had been in the team for a while now.
But we never really interacted with each other.
Or well... I never interacted with them.
"Hey...mmh.." I truly couldn't remember his name.
"Oh! Dustin... And he's Mike, right Mike?"
"Oh... Yeah, yeah." Mike responded, I couldn't help but wonder ¿why do his hair looks like that?.
I looked at them confused before they finally came to mind.
"Cool..." I said, in my head i was thinking why did they looked so familiar..."Had I ever saw you guys somewher—"
I was interrupted by Eddie grabbing them by the shoulders scaring the shit out of them.
Meh, I shouldn't pay to much attention to it.
And before I could think on something else, Lunch time had finally finished what means that I have to go and visit the therapist.
Great.
While I was going through the hallways I saw Mizi and Sua.
"Hey Till, are you going to your therapy lessons?" Mizi asked with some books on her hand,
Sua looked at me with confusion, I don't think she really knew about it.
"Yep, and actually... I am pretty late already! See ya later!" I said before running away
I wasn't lying because I WAS pretty late, but I also didn't wanted to see her, because of what happened...
"Till, you're late again." Ms. Kelley said, not surprised at all.
"I am sorry Miss Kelley... I fell asleep." I said, obviously an excuse.
"Really?" she smiled
"Really." I said trying to make a serious face.
She chuckled and told me to sit on the chair on front of her desk.
"So... Tell me, how has your day been today?" she asked with a soft voice.
I truly don't even know what am I doing here, I don't...
"It been fine. Is that all?" I asked, is not like I am telling some random stranger how am I truly feeling.
She gave me a sad look and continued asking me stuff.
"When you say fine, what does that truly means for you?" she asked again, with a sweet soft voice.
"I don't know!" I snapped out, and when I realized I looked away. "Therapy truly isn't my thing, just tell my dad that I am fine."
I ran out off the office, is not like my dad truly cares.
He shouldn't...I—I... I am not feeling good again, what is genuinely happening to me? Why do I feel my body so weak?
Suddenly I heard a voice, a soft and warm voice... One that sounds oddly familiar.
"Till?" I heard it again, this time a it sounds a little deeper.
I recognized that voice,
"M-Mom...?" I threw my backpack on the ground and ran while following the voice. "Mom!?"
I was so confused, how am I hearing her? Am I going crazy or something? But for some reason I still followed the voice,
"Till!?" The voice was becoming deeper and deeper, which truly took me out of guard, but I didn't stopped running.
I stopped after I saw a clock right on the wall, a pretty old clock... And I swear that I had never seen that there before, not even once.
Suddenly, one hand came out of the clock.
My heart was going like crazy and immediately stepped back, before I realized I was running away from the voice.
While I was running I suddenly bumped someone, I looked up... It was Ivan.
"Till?" he looked at me confused, but then changed his face to a worried one. "W–Wha— W–Why are you bleeding?" he quickly cleaned my nose with a handkerchief that he took out off his pocket.
"I–I am fine, what are you doing here?" I asked, glad I saw him.
"Well... I was waiting for you outside, but you where taking so long that I had to come check if you were okay!" he said with that stupid smile on his face.
I rolled my eyes,
"I am more than fine, let's go now." I said going outside the school.
Not before giving it a quick side eye.
My heart is still beating way faster than usual and my hands are sweating, Something that Ivan noticed because we were holding hands...
Wait what!?
"Till... Where's your backpack?"
"GODDAMMIT!"
