Chapter 4

Chloe turned to look at her simple oval mirror that rested on the other side of the room.

This allowed the black-haired brown eyed girl to see an image of a blank faced pale girl looking back at her, distain filled her from seeing a ghostly like girl standing before her.

The mirror image reflected her wearing a black jacket over her waist length faded grey shirt, black trousers that were a little messed up and frayed around the ends thanks constantly tripping and running.

It had been because she had tried to escape the media and occasional overzealous people who wanted to hurt her.

Even now Chloe didn’t truly recognize who the girl was looking back at her in the mirror anymore, to think that two years could truly change someone who use to be happy.

At times Chloe wanted nothing more than to cover her mirror or put it somewhere she couldn’t see it, only she didn’t have the heart to do so.

Chloe soon placed a pair of large headphones to her ears after she zipped up her jacket, sliding her arms through the bag straps.

Making sure to secure the bag as she stood at her desk, while checking to see if she had everything she needed for college.

Chloe also wore black socks that were slightly hidden thanks to her dirty white fluffy slippers due to years of use.

Not that she could fix the slippers anyways since the floors will get dirty from time to time.

The walk to college was monotonous but she allowed herself to travel without any means of public transport.

The less people around her the better.

The less chance of becoming uncomfortable from the voices and judgemental stares of people around her.

Minus the fact that she could see people moving away from here giving her more walk space.

Allowing her some breathing space until the hushed voices at times still continued to enter her ears even though she wore the headphones much to her dismay.

But the young girl had made no move to comment or complain about how they were making her upset.

Once inside the college building, Chloe approached her classroom door, she sighed heavily at what was to come.

Her right hand gripped the doorknob a bit tightly before turning the object in her hand to the left in order to open the door.

What greeted Chloe were stares coming from four of her classmates, a few either went back to talking to the other most likely gossiping or they were looking back at their books with anxious eyes.

Not wanting to associate with her any more than they already had to since they didn’t want to be next on her list.

Just knowing this made her frown but made no comment as she went to her seat- at the back of the class, beside the window allowing her to have a view of the area outside.

Chloe once at her seat sat down and began to take out her notebook, she flipped through her notes before going to a few pages that were at the back of her book and took out a pencil.

Once she had the pencil Chloe soon began to draw strange symbols that had curves or pointy edges, each one more unique and interested than the last.

As she made the symbols the girl then lifted a hand, so it was supporting her chin and tilted her head slightly as her interest on the symbols grew.

“Look it’s her again” said a female voice that was filled with disgust causing Chloe to stop what she was doing, however instead of looking up she kept her eyes down at the page.

The female who spoke had wavy brown hair that was up to her lower back and green eyes, her skin was slightly pale but not too pale to cause concern.

She wore a designer light brown top, a few gold bracelets that jingled when she moved her arms, blue jean shorts and blue trainers.

“Look at her, she’s drawing rubbish on her notebook again. Why does she bother drawing those things anyways? They’re nothing but gibberish!” asked another female who walked towards her own desk.

She had black hair and blue eyes, tanned skinned thanks to her trip to Spain.

She wore a creamy white top that was almost see through, a black vest that had the straps seen by her shoulders since it was underneath the top, she also wore black leggings and black flats.

Chloe as she listened to the comments just kept her eyes to her paper until it was forced off the desk and onto the floor before she could stop it from happening.

“Oh my bad, I didn’t see it there. I guess my hand slipped” said another female causing Chloe to lean on the side of her desk and grab her notebook.

Sadly this only resulted in pain as she felt a shoe land on her unguarded hand the moment her fingers grabbed the notepad.

This in turn almost made Chloe wince and almost cried out from the pain knowing that she might have badly bruised her fingers.

“Oh sorry, I didn’t see your hand there” the other female said before sauntering over towards her own near the middle row where her desk was.

Mindful of the cabinets below the tables since the handles could hurt if one’s legs slammed into one.

This girl was a ginger-haired with green eyes with blue specks in them, she had a revealing orange top and brown leggings while her black four-inch high heels clicked on the floor causing Chloe to nearly cringe from the noise.

At the same time the injured girl continued to bite her lip, this way she didn’t let them know that she was hurt.

Instead Chloe lifted her hand containing the notebook gingerly, forcing it not to shake thanks to the pain surging through her hand and placed her book on her desk, ignoring their jabs against her.

“Look at her! She’s so pathetic, how is she still here is beyond me” The first female said darkly.

“I know right Jenny? How they even allowed her to study here even though no one wants her here is shocking” said the second female as she sat beside Jenny.

“And she killed someone as well let’s not forget Agatha, if we’re not careful we’ll be next” the third one hissed coldly causing them to glare at Chloe who was still trying to keep to herself.

Eventually the classroom started to fill up with students until it was time for everyone to begin their lesson.

However to the students’ surprise their teacher who was a young brown haired male with cheerful blue eyes entered the room.
