Mystic High Popularity Rating - Volume 1 Chapter 20 Nighttime Fifteen

********************************

Trembling. I opened my eyes, my neck jolting up and my head hitting the wall harshly. I got up from my curled-up position and yawned. I grabbed my shirt with my hand, trying to stop my ragged breathing. I closed my eyes again, resting my face on my hands, my elbows digging into my knees. After a few minutes, I stood up and grabbed a hoodie.

*********************************************

Walking out of the house, I walked on the sidewalk around the neighborhood. Rubbing my neck slightly. I look up and see the full moon still shining down. A small smile made its way to my face before dissolving into a frown.

My feet stopped at the bridge, the rushing water could still be heard under it. I sat at the edge. My legs dangling off of it, the reflection making my legs look a lot longer. A small drop of rain interrupting the pool of water, creating ripples in it. Then another. Then another.

Then another.

Wiping the tears away. I took out a small, cotton candy flavored lollipop and un wrapped it. Putting it in my mouth. The rain still falling from my cheeks. I slowly got up from my spot on the edge of the bridge, carful not to slip. I dusted my black sweatpants and started walking back home. My neck hurting the entire way back.

**********************************************

I opened the door and walked up the spiral staircase and into my room, I walked pasted me bed and went into the bathroom. I threw away my lollipop stick and stared at the mirror. I shook away from my trance and opened the mirror looking through my bottles of headache medicine and other medications. Grabbing the bottle I was searching for. I quickly took it and left the bathroom. I took of my hoodie and put it back in my closet, taking of my shoes as well. I fell back on the bed and grabbed my phone from the bedside table. I scrolled through Social media for a few hours before getting drowsy. I slowly shut my eyes and fell asleep.
