Sofia

The next day, I told my parents the truth hoping for them to support me. I said them that I did not want to do engineering. I wanted to be a lawyer. It was my wish from when I was a child. But, when both of them heard they denied. They said many reasons like first was I was not a social person and it will be hard for me. My memory is not so good. There will be troubles to face when you will be a lawyer. They totally denied. Well, whatever they told was true, I knew it would be difficult for me, but engineering was not in my interest. Nothing went inside my head.

We did not talk much because my dad went to work and my mom had some household work to do. I could not discuss about it with them. The next day, I went to school. I noticed something. Ever since I entered the gate, almost everyone looked at me. I was embarrassed because I thought they were looking at me in confusion about what had happened last time. When I entered the class, everyone went silent. I sat with Noah. She asked me if I was fine. I said yes because I was. But obviously I could not forget the incident. Although Sofia became the main victim, I still had fear because of that day.

As the lectures had not started, we went to washroom because she said she had something important to say. I went with her. In the washroom, she asked me again, "Are you really fine?" I was surprised and told her in a teasing way, "I know I had a fracture, but I am fine now." She seemed shocked, so she asked again, "How can you be so cool when you had to go through that?" I thought she meant that because I was harassed, but the bigger victim was Sofia. I had thought I will not tell anyone about Sofia so I replied her, "Yeah, I know I was harassed, however I am fine as Mr. Gayle is in prison now." She asked again, "Wait a minute, you were not raped?"

"What? Why? No!" I said in confusion. She said, "Then what about the rumors. Almost half of the school thinks that you were raped. Tell me the truth." I was shocked. I asked, "Who told you?" "Well, except the seniors and the board members of our college, Sofia was there and what was happening there was making everyone curious and she said that you was raped." she answered. I was more than shocked to hear that.

I denied her saying and told her the exact truth. I also said that I had the video as proof but I deleted it. I felt sad because, I made sure no one knew what happened to Sofia but she spilled dirt on me. I also made the seniors promise me not to tell anything about her, because I was worried for her. She could keep that a secret like I was doing but... Just then, Sofia came to washroom. I pulled her and asked why she did that.

She first ignored me but the second time when I asked, she yelled, "I was already raped so why did you take such actions. I obeyed him because I wanted my marks to be good, but you are the one who spoiled everything. Now, I even lost my marks along with my virginity. I lost both just because of you." I was surprised by what she just said. I helped her get justice but instead of thanking me she blamed me. I slapped her and said, "I did not know you were such a low human. I am ashamed of myself to call you my friend."

I left the washroom with Noah. There were few girls outside the door who was listening us secretly. That day ended by everyone looking at me with pity. I went home and I was so angry, just then Alice's call came and I filled her with everything that happened. She got angrier than me. She told me not to worry.

The next day, when I went to college. The people who looked at me with pity, today looked at me with disgust. I was wondering why until...
