There she was. Shouq. The weak skinny curly haired girl that came all by herself to a school she has never been to before and knows nobody but a couple of relatives she prayed that she don't see in. She found out that she wasn't at the same school her friends were at a few weeks before the first day of school and couldn't possibly get more nervous. She felt like crying, screaming and hurting someone but that wouldn't have helped her so she just kept it all to herself and started praying she doesn't cry while walking into that little piece of hell, they call "School".
The night before the first day of school -like everybody else- she couldn't sleep because dear insomnia decided to give a little visit. When her mother came to wake her up, she pretended to be asleep (what a marvelous actor she is). She started yawning and making those 'leave me alone, i want to sleep' noises to catch up with her act. She then went and took a shower, wore her little-too-big uniform, did what she had to do and then off to school, she went.
She stepped out of the car and with a few directions from her sister -who had too attended this school-. She was fully prepped, skinny yet tough looking from the outside but on the edge of bursting into tears from the inside, she walked through the schools' gate, trying her best not to shed a tear. Even with her sisters introductions she was lost a few times but teachers where standing everywhere so she was just about fine. When one of the teachers led her to her class, her heart beats got louder and faster like she was about to make the most important decision of her life.
Shouq has made the decision to be an invisible and not catch attention as much as possible but her classmates talk alot. Day after day, she took her books with her to read instead of socializing with her classmates who she strongly disliked. Reasons: 1- Calling her "chicken nugget" or "bnt merry" because she says a couple of english words while talking. B- Because she's not able to communicate with them properly. C- Because her mind doesn't function the way their minds do.
Months passed and in those several months Shouq has been taught that; books make great company, to stay strong and learnt to deal with things, she learnt to stand up for her own opinion and that things won't always stay the same.
She doesn't cry anymore, is careless, tough and just fine.
-This was this weeks challenge that Sophie came up with. It's called "Break Free". The name itself is pretty self explanatory. I did it "story style" because i felt like it suites it better. Yup.
