A Boy In An All Girls School

Chapter 11: obsessed

"Yes.. I have gynophobia, because of...uh..my ex girlfriend"

He struggles to speak as he looks down at the ground, the social worker nods and listens patiently.

"Oh dear. What do you remember? What would you feel comfortable telling me?"

He closed his eyes as his mind flashed back as far as he could remember, then visions flashed in his mind, Amber on top of him, Amber slapping him, Amber threatening to kill him.

Amber plagued every waking thought

Her voice

Her skin

Her words

She was a never ending thought in his eyes, and it left him feeling torn apart.

"She uh..she hit me a lot I guess..."

"She hit you? how did she "hit" you?"

"She slapped me, kicked me..one time she threatened to kill me....she pinned me against the wall a-and she..she uh had knife put a-against my throat.."

"I see."

"And uh, she called me a "baby hippo" I guess I'm fat or something..."

"Do you think you are fat Atlas?"

He felt a ringing begin to echo in his ears as he began to speak

"No-I mean..I am. But...I could just lose a few pounds or something.."

The social worker nodded as she listened to him speak.

"I mean she was only trying to help, she was right..I am fat, I guess.."

He felt tears stating to sting his eyes

"I need to go"

He grabbed his bag and ran as fast as he could, the halls were empty and all he could hear was the sound of his black Mary janes hitting the tile floor

He ran into the bathroom, the tears had blurred his vision and the only thing he saw was the blue door, he missed the girls bathroom sign.

As he ran in and dropped his leather bag on the floor he had failed to notice a girl standing in front of the mirror.

She is a beautiful girl, she has long pink hair hair that was put into one slicked back pony tail, she was touching up her lipstick when she saw him

"Aren't you the gynophobia kid?"

His eyes widened as he finally blinked away the tears and saw the girl standing in front of him

"Oh no-I-I'm so sorry! I wasn't..looking..I'm sorry..I'll go!"

"Don't go so soon"

She grabbed his bag off the floor and threw it on the other end of the bathroom

"You're so adorable, aren't you?"

"What?!"

"I like guys with gynophobia"

As she walked closer to him he felt his heart beginning to race faster and faster in his chest, she grabbed him by his wrist and pinned him against the wall.

"Are you scared? Good"

She hissed

"I like that you're scared"

Atlas felt frozen, but in that moment he knew he had to run, so he did what anyone would do, he kicked her in the stomach, grabbed his bag and ran, she screamed as he ran off

"YOU'RE MY NEW OBSESSION I'LL FIND YOU"
