REJECTION

Have you ever felt rejected? Or unwelcome? If you have experience it, I’m sure you could relate. But you haven’t experience any rejection yet, since you’re being adored and loved by everybody. Try to yourself in Alexi’s shoes and then you’ll realize.
This story is based on a real story of a typical girl in high school.

Alexi is a junior in a public high school, she was a stout, unattractive but a smart girl. She belongs to the honor list but not at the top because her lack of extra points that she can only gain in co-curricular activities. She was normal but not perfect, she has friends but no ones true and she is existing but invisible. She was a kind of girl that everybody dislikes. She knows how they talk to her when she turns her back, how cruel they are to her, how they played with her, how they seek her disadvantages, take advantage of her and how they reject her. You wish you’ll never be her.
Alexi woke up a normal morning, her normal days are being teased, laughed at and people acting she’s an animal, a slimy and useless animal. But she was used to it. She goes school earlier that anyone else because she is holding the key. When she opens the door, as usual she talked to the skeleton sitting at the entrance of the room. Their room is has “Anatomy and Physiology” theme that’s why there’s a skeleton inside their classroom whom they consider as a member of the group. She was looking at the room and she walk on the way to her locker, she prepare all the stuff she needed for that morning and more minutes almost all her classmates came. Her usual silent nook became a hang-out of the different people.
She was acting like shadow or someone who didn’t exist until her only true friend came, Marisa. “Hey, Alex… What’s wrong? You seem to be out of your mind.” Marisa said as she put down her bag and sit beside Alex at her desk. “Nothing, still hoping that this day would be just fine.” She sighed. “It will be…” Marisa patted her back.
Alexi used to have a lot of friends but now she was alone and hoping that all of the people will accept her imperfections but sadly no one mind her feelings and her. The only bad thing is she’s been played by all her classmates. In all of them, she’s the unwanted. She thought that everyone should be united and helps each other. But no one ever bother to care for her except Marisa who’s always been there since the start.
Her classmates talked to her when they got problems and they needed something but when she already done what they wanted she became the group trash. She accept it but all it do to her is it hurts like nails hammering her heart. She never live a day that no one throw bad things when she’s not around but she didn’t mind since she know she has nothing to do about it but to accept.
During recess, “Alex, let’s go.” Marisa said to her and then her mind set free from thinking. When she walk passed at the most popular and accepted group, she heard something awful, the awful things she got for everyday. “My God, look at her, she’s a trash.” A girl from her section said. “She looks like a pig, look how fat she is?” The other laughed. “I can’t believe she belongs to our group. If my decision will run this place I will never let her in. she’s useless but I will only accept her if she give me every answer in the Biology exam.” The other one said. Alexi wanted to run and cry but she won’t. Let it flow… she said in her mind and continued walking. Marisa knew she was hurt and she know that Alexi don’t want to show it.
That day is still a normal day, she receive another rejection. She was suffering this for the pass months and she couldn’t bare the pain. She want to be absent at school so that their classroom will be happy. She feels she’s a burden and they make her feel she is. She went home. Open the door of her room and there, the place where she belongs, the place where she show the real her, the place where she cries. Why anybody can’t accept me, I just wanted to be accepted, that’s all. I never thought, of all people you, my classmates will make me feel such pain. That’s the usual line you can hear when you open her heart after she let the pressure out of her, she take the position at the front of her computer. The usual journal she writes, and so far all of them are negative. She opened the journal folder at her documents and writes a new journal. She wrote “I was rejected… again!” That’s enough to be understood.
The next morning when she go to school, everything was odd because all the people are greeting her. “Hey, Alexis…” The popular girl says. “Alexi…” Alexi corrected. After a few seconds of curiosity, she was happy about what happened but when she’s entering the classroom which is already opened. She saw Marisa at the side of the door, signing something but she didn’t mind because of the joy she have in her heart when she thought everyone already accepted her. She was heading at her locker when she saw the message at the white board and hundreds of flyers pasted around the classroom. She can’t believe what she saw; she went closer at it with tears in her eyes. She read it as she wiped the hot strings of tears flowing in her cheeks. “Alexi, a certified PROSTITUTE… Want to have fun with her? Well, free use of her, only until July 17. Call this number for details.” She can’t bare this; she couldn’t stop the tears flowing and her sobs getting louder and louder. She can’t hear anything just her classmates laugh. She runs to the girl’s gym shower room and she opened her locker and there a flyer posted in it. She cried so hard and sits at the corner to cry. Marisa went to her but she didn’t say anything. Marisa offered her comfort.
At night, she still hadn’t recovered from the humiliation she experience because after she went out the locker room at basketball varsity team is asking to sleep with her. She again sits at the front of her computer and writes at her journal saying, “I’M DYING!!! Marisa, thank you for being a friend, I love you!!! I’m sorry if I give up so easily, I’m weak I can’t fight them, thank you for everything. Classmates, thank you for being my pretend friends, I appreciate it. I guess I could find acceptance in heaven… may be that’s where I belong.”
The next morning, Marisa was surprised that Alexi hasn’t showed up, she receives the daily school paper and she saw the front page. Alexi Dome, a junior died last night. “Her suicide at her own bedroom using a broken beaker owned by our school is an effect of a public humiliation her classmates perform on her.” Marisa didn’t know what do to, she went at Alexi’s house and Alexi’s mom showed her the message she had in her journal and Marisa didn’t do anything she just broke down and cry…

The lesson is… you find it out yourself!
