Was it intentional??
Born 2004, F, from Karachi, Pakistan“What is it, Harrison? I’m observing you are quite upset from past few days.” I hardly took the words out of my mouth ignoring the stammering of my tongue.
His eyes seemed to scan me as if I were carrying some explosives in an airport. He looked a bit different.
“Upset! Oh alright yeah upset” he spoke but it seemed like it was someone else.
And then started moving forward, closer, I never saw his hands raising and reaching my neck, it took me a moment to understand that he was choking me “ let go of my neck” I tried to say but it came out nothing more than a squeaky voice of a dying mouse.
His grip tightened, I felt my eyes boiling out of the sockets. The faces of my parents, siblings and friends came into my vision.
I was dying most probably but then the pain subsided, my senses returned and I fell to the ground on my knees coughing badly. With my blurred vision, I was only able to clap eyes on Harrison’s shocked and agitated face, he knelt down, reached for me and my sight blacked out.
******
I woke up from a continuous beep, my eyes took a moment to adjust with the surroundings; white ceiling, white walls, white door and a white tiled floor.
A hospital… yeah and that beep was probably denoting my heart beat.
The door opened with a slight, satisfying, creaking noise. I didn’t have the guts to inquire my parents about Harrison, in fact I didn’t want them to be here.
I was dismissed after two days, but the school didn’t feel any good at all. The grip of his hands was still imprinted on my neck, at times I used to stare at the redness thinking of him for hours, standing in front of the mirror, And I used to wonder that why did he do it, “Was it deliberate or unintentional?”.
I felt I was going insane until one day while sitting in the park with Isabella and Amelia, I spotted him.
