Showing a new student around school was soo not in my plan to start the first day of school but you know, principal's orders, can't turn that down can I?
I just lead him to the class, someone else will handle giving him a school tour abeg, I've tried na wetin.I barely looked at him, you barely look at anyone, just kept my head down with my permanent blank face and lead him to the class making sure to keep my distance. I felt him staring at me but choose to ignore it despite the fact it made me more uneasy than other peoples stares, I'm sure he thinks you are freaking ugly, like ugly and fat and shapeless.By the time we get to class I barely mumble a 'we are here' and desperately try to hurry to my sit to at least stall my classmates venom but a lot of things are not just going according to plan today, arrgh.
They literally tear me down like ravaging wolves with their words and I sometimes shock myself with how I act like their words mean nothing to me. I don't even bat an eyelid at them, I just quietly walk to my sit, rest my head on my desk and look outside the window with my back to them.
Luckily they forget all about me and stop their hurtful words as they notice the new boy standing there. I hear them talk excitedly to the new boy and I soon learn that he's mute and a freaking Playboy, what a weird combo. I waited for the assembly bell to ring with them not noticing me so that I could just breeze through the entire day without anymore stinging words but like I said things did not go as planned. The new boy who's name I don't remember asked a question about me that I didn't get tho and my wonderful classmates just started with the hate comments and start bringing up the issue that caused a very wide rift between me and my twin sister. I felt the tears come but I suppressed them and blanked my face out even tho my back is to them. Just as I was regaining my composure I felt myself stiffen as I heard the new guy try to defend me against my classmates and even say I was just thick and really pretty, what?? Does he know what he's talking about has he seen me at all, everyone says I'm fat and ugly how come only he thinks differently? Despite my raging thoughts I felt something flutter in my tummy and my heart literally skipping a beat, weird.Assembly went by in a flash alongside the first half of the day, now its lunch time but unfortunately I can't find Mark anywhere I wonder where he went, oh well. Sighing I went back to class, I didn't want to eat anyway.
Entering the class I notice the presence of other girls there too which is really weird cause everybody eats in the cafeteria so the class is usually empty at this time. I just shrugged my shoulders and pull out 'A voice in the Wind', from the Mark of the lion trilogy by Francine Rivers to read to pass time. I never got the chance to even open the book as I felt someone jam my head into the table and that someone had to unfortunately be Ebi, the class self acclaimed queen bitch. There ain't nobody meaner than that witch I'm telling you, well that's if you decide to count my sister out tho, sigh.'Shapeless, long time ohh', Ebi literally spat out in her annoying British accent.
'I swr ohh, aunty spots how you dey naa, chei see as she even looks more ugly from last year ohhh', Anita one of Ebi's minions said causing the others to burst out in laugher. Yes the same Anita that rode with me and Mark in the morning, she's an ass kisser, ouch, but nobi lie sha.
'Ode they are even greeting you but you dey here they form quiet bae I go just wose you slap like this ehh e go shock you', Ella, another ass kisser and troublemaking fighter spat out and I mean like literally spat out there is freaking saliva all over my face.
I used the sleeve of my uniform to wipe out the spit from my face but she:Ella, apparently noticed noticed this and gave me a really hot slap across my face like she promised and started raining insults on me along with the rest of the gang.They pushed me down and I ended up slamming my head against the table, not even feeling pity for my state they rained kicks on me and that Ella girl spat on me.I didn't even flinch just stayed on the floor and took their kicks with my ever present blank demenour, didn't even show a trace of pain or anything, this physical pain cannot be compared to the emotional wounds and pains I carry, sigh. I saw my sister walk into the class and part of me actually hoped that she would call out to them to stop. But what did she do, help? Hell no, she laughed in my freaking face and told them to beat me very well.When I said my life was hell I wasn't joking this was just a tip of the freaking iceberg.

JAMILWe don't care what they say, no way, no way???And we will live the empty chairs to those who say we can't sit there???We are fine all by ourselves???Woah Jamsi can sing, I did not see that coming, who would have thought that the girl who barely spoke had such a strong powerful voice, so beautiful. Leaning my shoulders on the door I let her beautiful voice wrap itself around my senses, consuming me, let it drown me in the pure beauty and pleasure of it. I didn't bother going in since she was apparently scared of me for some reason and I didn't want a repeat of what happened this morning so I stood there by the door unnoticed by her basking in the pure melody and symphony of her voice.So hey, we brought our drums and this is how we dance???No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you d

A/N: Heyy loves I'm double updating today how awesome is that ehh, anyways enjoy and don't forget to vote and comment ? '°'°'°'°'°'°' JAMILThe assembly ended pretty quickly and we were currently in class. Everyone was reading in small groups or on their own, I was part of the latter group, reading on my own. My thoughts were a distraction by themselves and the incident that happened this morning wasn't helping matters either, my mind kept wandering back to Jamsel, her face, that injury. Why did she look so scared when I tried to touch her this morning, you know this morning was the first time I was seeing her without her permanent blank face and its kinda
Beneath her Facade Chapter Eleven
JAMILMonday came sooner than expected, urghhh. I don't know how I'm going write that test seeing as I was barely able to read and understand anything, urghhhh. I was currently in class trying to go through my biology as that was the first subject we had this morning but my mind kept wandering and won't stay focused on the biology no matter how hard I tried. I ended up giving up and let my raging thoughts reign free. Mum's headache persisted and didn't let her be, she said it was just rest she needed but I didn't think so, headaches don't way her down the way this particular one was holding her down. I asked her to get a check up or something but she didn't listen to me at first but I guess when she saw my persistence she changed her mind and said she would go for a check up. She said she went and the results showed that it was malaria, that wicked sickness. She took a couple of drugs that were prescribed for her by her doctor an
Beneath her Facade Chapter Ten
JAMEELASunday rolled by as a blast even though I couldn't go to church physically because my wounds weren't healed properly enough to be hidden under a good layer of make up, I ended up watching from home on the Dunamis tv. My sister and Maria went to a catholic church where they couldn't identify with me while I went to the Dunamis church down the street. I was a very quiet member and didn't identify with any group but at least no one called me ugly there.Today is Monday and our test officially starts this week. I was done with my morning duties but it wasn't without a slap here and there for no reason whatsoever adding to the bruises I had to hide. Sitting before my vanity, I stared at the image in front me and ran my fingertips over my bruises, wincing at the contact. They still stung but thankfully not as much as they did before. The bruises on my stomach had healed perfectly and completely so there was barely any
Beneath her Facade Chapter Nine
JAMEELAI struggled with the ropes holding me down on the bed. My was head pounding more and more with each movement but I still struggled, I had too, I had to get out from here, now. Everything was so dark and blurry, the darkness was closing in on me, I felt it choking me. The shadows were everywhere, surrounding me, overwhelming me, my fear was rising by the second and I felt the bile rising up my throat. I had to get out. I struggled even more with the ropes holding me down in a bid to free myself from the darkness but the more I struggled the more it enveloped itself around me, enclosing and overwhelming, mocking at my helplessness. My panic was beyond leaps and bounds by now and I felt my skin crawling with it. My mind knew there was no escape but my body tried to find a way, tried to break free of the ropes on my hands and feet bruising them in the process. My struggles did nothing to save me just weakened my
Beneath her Facade Chapter Eight
JAMEELACucuruku, cucurukuDamn that alarm, is it already 5am, urgh.Today is Saturday so that means mega work for me and yes, I wake up everyday by 5am, step-mom is such a darling, hear the sarcasm.I got up and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for my step mother and sister, made their breakfast and put it in coolers and set on the dinning table so that the food would still be warm when they are finally ready to eat. I did my chores; sweeping the parlor, cleaning the chairs, cleaning Maria's and Jacinta's trophy's and awards from modeling and fashion designing, cleaning the kitchen, taking out the trash, moping the entire house and cleaning all the rooms and bathroom's in the house, wash and dry clothes. It was around past nine when I completed my chores, well the first set.'Where is that stupid girl', I heard Maria saying and my heart literally sank, oh no.
