What it once was

*~ Chapter 1 ~*

[4TH WALL POV]

Laughter echos throughout the whole classroom. A group of 4 girls stood close by each other, three of whom are laughing more in the background, as the girl in front is saying all kinda of whitty things.

"God. I wouldn't been caught dead in those if 1 were you" the laughter picked up more between the girls. The rest of the class staring at the situation, being completely silent.

"You must be poor. Awh, that sucks huh."

"Haha yeah, where'd you get them. A dumpster??"

They all continued, as the woman they were directing it too was sitting at her desk, reading a book. She seemed almost unbothered by the whole mockery of them, being used to it as they spill their nonsense everyday. The teacher soon came in and they all rushed back down to their seats, as the lessons starts.

The bell shortly rung and everyone packed up their work and or bags and left. The victim of the group leaving slower than the rest, waiting for everyone to leave before she left. She walked to a wall behind the school and sat down leaning against it. Not too long after, did the "leader" if the group find her. Standing there as she crossed her arms.

"How'd i do?" The blonde girl snickered.

"Hm." The other, opening her packet of cigarettes and lighting one, before turning her head and blowing out a puff of smoke.

"Not too bad akari."

Akari began to cough and clear the air in front of her as the smoke hit in her direction. She looked back up to see the girl laughing at her.

"Its not fucking funny beatrix."

"Oh come on, its a little funny."

"Whatever." Akari sat down against the wall next to her, but slowly moving away so she isnt too close. Her eyes slowly dart towards her as her head stayed straight. Beatrix ran her hand through her long jet black hair, unknowingly causing Akari to show a small blush.

"Bit past the time you're meant to be home, miss popular."

"You know i hate when you call me that! And anyway, how would you even know."

Beatrix let out a small groan as she turned her head towards her, blowing another puff of smoke. "I know everything about you."

Akaris face slowly fell stoned and pale white.
She shook her head slightly and denied anything she could.

"No you dont. You're just trying to get a rise out of me."

"Wanna bet." Beatrix turned her head back to face forward as a small smirk crept up on her face.

"Please. Im all ears."

"Alright. Lets see, your mum left when you were around, what, 13? Your daddy isnt happy that she ran off with another man. Although i dont blame her, she looks happy. Fuck what else, you fail almost every exam, your daddy buys your grades for you. Hes pretty tough not letting you have a curfew past 10pm. Hmm, you barley eat much good food, mainly because your dad cant cook for shit and your maids cant either. Oh, and.." Beatrix leant over and whispered in Akari's ear before leaning back.

"Did i miss anything?"

Akari's face stayed stone as she stuttered her words a bit, not knowing what to come of this.

"H..how did you know that! I havent told
anybody."

"I know?"

Not knowing what to do, Akari quickly picks her bags back up and leaves to go back home.
No more than 10 minutes later, heavy rain started to pour down.

"Fuck."

With the cigarette being put out from the rain, Beatrix stood up running her hand through her hair to get the wet hair out of her face, before walking home to her apartment. She opened the door, throwing her keys onto the kitchen bench and falling onto the couch, groaning.

Her phone sitting on the coffee table faced down, from all the notifications. She waited 10 minutes before getting up and heating up some leftovers in the microwave, and pouring a small glass of whiskey. Very tiredly, Beatrix sat down at the table picking at her food a little before eating it.

[BEATRIX POV]

I had no energy left in me for the day, im always run down anyway so it isnt like this feeling is new to me. I clean up the dirty dishes before stepping into the bathroom and looking at myself in the mirror. My hands ran down my face, starting at my eyes going downwards.

I turned the shower on, setting it to as cold as it can get before undressing and stepping in. My head leant back letting the water completely wash over me as i submerged my body fully into the water.

I was counting the minutes that it took me to distract myself from other thoughts that might have lingered. Slowly, i turned the shower off before stepping out and drying myself. I changed into nothing more but a black bra and black bike pants. Just before i left, i opened a pill container, taking 2 and walking out to leave for my room.

Another groan leaves my mouth as i flop down onto the bed. My eyes growing heavy as i slowly let my body sink and fall asleep.
