Cherreads

Chapter 11 - Used to let it go

Back in the day I was a fool.

I look around.

My friends talk.

My classmates talk.

He says something to me.

The rest of my friends looks at me expectantly.

I want to scream.

Why?

How can you ask something like that?

Say something like that?

Back in the day I would just let it go.

That's how I used to do it.

Now, I only gawk at your tricks, biting my lips in order not to scream.

Finally I see the masks on theier faces.

They drive me crazy.

Those aren't friends.

None of the people here.

Just a room full of students.

No, a room full of entertainers and thief's.

People who only serve lies.

I hang my head low.

Always hang my head low and bite my tongue.

All my memories run crazy.

Suddenly I remember how I always stand in the line.

Always wait for the others.

Joke around.

Senseless.

Am I just as horrible as them?

I walk home.

The same road as always.

How often have I walked it now?

I can't remember.

Always walk up and down that road.

Everyday.

Now my steps weigh so much.

Why?

I always was content.

Used to let it go.

I pass by one of the houses.

The dog in the garden barks, jumps at the fence.

Baring it's teeth.

Why does it annoy me so much today?

I used to let it go.

Always used to be cool.

That's how it is supposed to be.

I want to scream.

I can't stand it.

All these liars and thieves and this whole insane shit that is my life.

Why do I only realize it now?

I hate it.

I want to let it all burn.

I put the house on fire.

Watch as the flames grow bigger.

Swallow the whole school building.

A bright red against the dark night sky.

It's not actually dark.

Overhead the full moon shines down.

I laugh.

I walk up that road once again.

No, I don't change anymore.

I can't remember how I used to keep cool.

Put up with the liars and thieves.

Used to just let it go.
