Chapter 1: Reverse the time, PLEASE



Sometimes don't you just feel like you can reverse time? Well I certainly do. I just want to reverse time and NEVER ever trust anyone. EVER.

"Stand at the back of the class, Alice!" Mrs. Mila shouted.
"Fine." I whispered to myself as I stomped my way to the back of the class.
I folded my arms and glared at Mrs. Mila. ISH. Must she be this harsh? I was just writing my feelings on paper. She doesn't have to stomp and scold all over me. English is fun, but come on, when you're talking about the origin of the word, who listens?
"RIIING!" finally! the bell.
Everyone rushed out of the class in supersonic speed. I just decided to take my time and get over the stand-at-the-back-of-the-class-thing.
"Hey, You okay?" someone said. I looked up and the instant I saw his piercing green eyes, it was Kevin. Great, at a time like this, he has to come up and be nice-y nice boy.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." I replied while looking down.
"Kevin! You coming?" a girl voice, probably Kevin's girlfriend, from outside the class shouted.
"Oh yeah babe! Be there in a second!" Kevin replied.
"You can go." I said.
He lifted my head by pulling up my chin to meet his eyes, smiled and said, "See you later."

I'm all alone now. I sat down and looked to the ground. I thought to myself, "Why must people always bring you down after you helped them and trusted them all in a flash?" "Why must they always dump you about when they get back with their friends?". I sighed. If I had that time machine those scientists are working on and reverse and to never trust people again, I think that I wouldn't have to spend my recess, I mean recesses, alone.

I picked up the paper that I wrote my feelings down which Mrs. Mila scrunched up and threw at me.

"RIIIIING!" the bell goes. I stuffed the paper into my pocket quickly before my clasmates ask me what I wrote on it that made Mrs. Mila mad. As I sat on my seat and cuddled my head in my wrapped arms on my table, I felt a tap on the shoulder. I looked up and Kayla asked, 'What's up?'

I have always looked to Kayla as that not only beautiful blond but also that super-smart blond. I know, I should not compare and I'm trying not to. She just has such qualities that no one can ignore.She bend down to my level and said, "People will be people, don't worry about them, people will try to bring you down and down from time to time. Come on Alice, I know you are stronger than this!"

I smiled and said, "I love you Kayla, thanks. "Just don't let people bring you down, come on, you have bio class to go to." Kayla reminded me as she went off to her locker for her next class.

I made my way to my locker and grabbed my bio books when Kevin's girlfriend, Macy, slammed my locker shut.
"Yes?" I asked, trying to keep my composure.
"Having issues?" Macy asked.
"Well, yeah, everyone does, but it does not concern you, I'm late for bio class. Can I talk to you later?"
"Just watch it. And you know what I mean."

As I walked away, from her to bio class, I tried to stop myself from tearing up. Then, I opened up the scrunched up paper in my pocket and read the only word on it,

'Kevin'
