Part 7 You/ouY

Haley had been to the psychiatrist after her attempted suicide. Though she was reluctant to believe that she might have done self-mutilation, her aunt and her friends persisted to have an appointment with a psychiatrist as per suggested by her doctor too. After her two sessions, things eventually fell in their place that she did cut herself in the spurt of anger because of some family issues, though in the time of memory lapse.

It's a sick game...
...Being played by mind
When you can't tell...
Reality...
Illusion...hallucination or
...Darkness

"...offer blood sacrifice followed by the performance of dark rituals to summon the dark entities." Miss Kana in her anthropology class explained to students about different primitive civilizations that worship evil and other dark entities. A guy with dark auburn hair leaned forward and whispered to Amber.

"The passion with which she's explaining seems like she's a demon who must be torturing her own boyfriend", Amber covered her mouth at Denis' words before a laughter could leave her mouth.

"...it's a blood pact made to demon or offering of soul in return either of ritualist or sacrifice's one."

"Imagine Haley a demon popping his head out of your cleavage", the one sitting next to Denis spoke loud enough for the class to hear. The entire class erupted in laughter on Sam's joke that boiled up Haley with a urge to crack open his skull.

"I don't get black magic", Sean remarked leaning back in his chair. He had never believed in ghosts or spirits, ironic to the fact people believe in God but never in the existence of dark entities. For him, Mr. Satan was enough at the door giving it three knocks and asking, "How may I corrupt you?" Sean snickered at his own punch line, that Mr. Satan asking a man in heat how he may like to be helped.

"There are people in the world who use black magic...", Maria instantly retorted back to Sean but was cut in by Haley who seemed to hold a grudge against her.

"Like Maria"

"Excuse me?" Maria asked shifting her weight in her seat. Amber looked back and forth between the two girls. Maria always scowled at the sight of Haley and Haley, in return, appeared to have a undefined hatred towards her. Amber couldn't get what had transpired between the two girls that led towards the extreme avoidance and resentment.

"You're the one behind your boyfriend's murder"

"SHUT THE FUCK..."

"Enough girls!" Miss Kana interrupted both but soon the bell rang signaling the class over. Maria snatched up the bag and ran outside of the class. Amber turned Haley back by her shoulder giving her 'you did wrong' look before rushing after Maria. Amber made her way through the students in the corridor and chased Maria to her locker. The door of the locker had hid her face from Amber but she knew that she might have raised her hand to her face.

"I'm sorry for what Haley said."

Maria slammed close the locker door revealing Amber with apologetic face.

"Didn't you hear her?" Maria scoffed being sarcastic with Amber. Besides, didn't they all say she had murdered her own boyfriend? She, Maria the Black Queen, had driven him to suicide.

"No, I didn't" Amber retorted trying to keep her cool under the collar. Haley was going through tough time and what she had said was what everyone made about Maria.

"Good for you", Maria told her and brushed last her shoulder. Amber riled up at her attitude and tugged her by elbow making her stop in her tracks.

"What's your deal?" Amber asked her biting her inner cheek as she fumed up in anger. She was never the one to apologize let alone for someone else mistake.
