Ray

10 years later

It’s been 10 years since I’ve ran away, I’m 19 now. Though life was still a bit normal for me then, I’ve met someone who’s been a friend of mine for 8 years.

“Heyyyy, Hey! Sleepy head, get up right now! As a class president you shouldn’t be late!!” Daniel’s voice echoed in my head as I slowly got up to see his face look quite irritated. “Hm? Sorry.” I replied backing up to get out of bed. “Jeez you’re quite a heavy sleeper. Do you have any clue of how long I tried waking you up?!” He exclaimed. Daniel can be rough sometimes but childish sometimes too. But he’s my most trusted friend I have.

“Aaron! I’m surprised you’re even late!” Ms.Cheryal said as I walked in the classroom. “Sorry ma’am, it won’t happen again.” I apologized and took a seat next to the window where I usually sit. “Anyhow, we have a transfer student today...” she started. I couldn’t care less. A new transfer student, so what? It’s not like I’ve never had one before.

“Everyone please welcome Ray.” A wave of shock flooded through me with those words. Ray. And I thought I would never hear them again. The sound of gasps filled the room.

I immediately stood up out of my seat. “Er, ma’am may I please be excused?” I asked already sweating ten times harder. “Alright then, by the look of your face do you need to go to the doc-.” “No I’m fine, I just need....need to go to the washroom.” I cut her halfway and dashed out of the classroom. I swear I could feel his cold gaze tracking me as I went out.

I heard footsteps behind me and quickly turned around. “Oh, Daniel what are you doing here?” I asked. “ I knew you weren’t feeling right so I came.” He look concerned. “I’m alright. You can go” I wouldn’t changed to another class if I had the chance but no, I had to be stuck with this, this...idiot.

“I’m sorry for causing any trouble, I’m back.” I came back after calming down. I scanned quickly to see where Ray’s sitting hopefully not beside me, but just my luck. He was seated right beside my desk next to the window. I clenched my fist and ignored him, sitting as far as him as possible,
