Hey, four eyes, Marcus yelled, and I winced as I heard his sneakers smack in the linoonium.
Marcus and I were far from friends. I've known Marcus since my family moved here when I was eight.
My first interaction with him was on the playground on my first day of school.
Marcus and his small band of cronies wandered up to me as I sat in the sandbox,
clearly drawn over by the new kid, and made the dynamic of our future relationship clear right away.
I had sand kicked to my face, a sneaker.
pressed in my chest, and, before I knew it, I was on my back in the sandbox as Marcus informed
me that he would be collecting my lunch money from now on, and there wasn't a thing I could do
about it. As I lay there, staring up at him, without a teacher inside to help me, I knew it ate
what it was like to be truly helpless. And for eight years, he took this as a personal challenge
to make my life a living hell. My lunches were stolen, my glasses were broken, my things were
vandalized and my friends and I were tormented by the ever-present shadow of Marcus Hyens.
I did make friends, of course, but many people avoided me simply because I had elicited the ire
of Marcus. He was a constant presence in my life, always there, always looming, always waiting
for his next opportunity to show me what I was, his constant victim. I never owned anything
that he didn't try to destroy or take away from me. I never liked a girl that he didn't immediately
woo and dump in a semester.
Marcus made it his business to have
anything I wanted, but couldn't afford
so he could rub it in my face.
I kept hoping,
just as mother had always taught me
that karma would catch up with him,
and his actions would be punished by that ever
present force of cosmic justice.
It seemed, however, that
karma was not on my side.
As we grew, Marcus
became the darling of whatever school he attended,
and I became known as a bit of a
weirdo. I was a quiet,
kid, I liked a right, my grades were fine, but I was an introvert and didn't like to show off
in class. Marcus, on the other hand, was known and loved by all. I quickly learned that this was
how he got away with his bullying. Marcus was large, imposing, but he had a way about him that
endeared him to adults. I would never admit it to him, but he was also smart. He never had
trouble with grades, never had to study for tests, and seemed to succeed with only minimal effort.
He played sports through school and thrived in the field, even as he did well in the classroom.
By the time we were seniors, he had a football scholarship that would let him get into nearly any school he wanted.
He was the typical All-American student, and the world was his oyster.
I hated him, especially after this year.
I had spent three years with one goal in mind, having a seat on the student council in my senior year.
It would look great at my college transcripts
alongside my volunteer work and debate team presence
and I actually thought that I could make a difference
for some of the unheard students at the school.
On a deeper level, I realised
it might also bring me out to my shell
and change me a little before leaving this whole experience behind
and going to college.
I had lived my life as an introvert
not really wanting to know anyone outside my circle of friends.
Senior year was my last chance to really experience
what would become the
quote, best years of my life, or so they said.
Maybe putting myself out there could change me a little, perhaps even for the better.
I had such high hopes back then.
I had campaigned, talked to my fellow students, and felt I had my finger in the pulse of what they wanted in a councilman.
I seemed to shoe in for the empty seat.
That was, until Marcus realized how much I wanted it.
Suddenly, he joined the race.
suddenly his flies were in every hall
his posters plastered over mine
his talking points very similar to mine
and his goals seemed to be to take one more thing that I wanted
he'd been trying and failing to throw me off my game for weeks
trying to get in my head and make me drop out of the election
before the upcoming candidacy speech
before the student body voted for the representative
as he approached I wondered if he had found the toehold he needed
I closed my laptop as he came to stand over me
not wanting it broken if he was in the breaking mood.
His face was possessed of that mixture of wicked glee and childish meanness.
He looked like a kid on his way to pull wings of a butterfly,
and I guess he was.
I had been his caged bug for years,
and today was just another chance to practice his sadistic craft on me.
He came alone,
but I could see several letterman jackets hovering nearby,
watching the show.
I was nowhere near as muscular as him.
being on the scrawny side, but that hardly mattered to him.
Marcus never fought fair if he could help it.
Guess what I did last night?
He shouted, glancing around to see who was watching.
My friend sitting around the lunch table, immersed in a game of Magic the Gathering,
looked up like startled animals around a watering hole.
Her predator had arrived, and they wanted to know when the best time to start running was.
I don't know, Marcus, something fulfilling and meaningful, but I doubt it.
I said, without much interest.
Marcus barked out a sarcastic little laugh.
You'd be right there, four eyes.
He never used my name.
It was always four eyes,
and always in tones of the deepest scorn.
I was at a rager last night
when I met this fine piece of tail
and took her upstairs for a few hours.
God, she screamed so loud
I thought the cops were going to come.
If you're looking for a high-five,
I think your boys are hovering somewhere around here.
I said, already uninterested in this conversation.
I had no idea that his trap had teeth,
but he was about to show me just how deep they cut.
I just thought I'd let you know what a good lay your sister was, four eyes.
She screamed my name again and again as I had her.
The whole cafeteria was paying attention now.
I glanced at my friends and saw that their game was forgotten
as Marcus laid out his night activities for me in intimate detail.
My face reddened, the giggles already beginning,
as he loudly proclaimed his activities for all to hear.
I was shocked.
I was incapable of reacting,
and I simply wanted to stop existing at that very minute.
How could she?
How could my own flesh and blood betray me so thoroughly?
How many nights had I confided in my family about the abuse I suffered at Marcus's hands?
How many times did she see me demoralized at school by this bully?
How could she have done such a thing?
I don't know how this story ended
I grabbed my bag and ran out to the cafeteria
hiding my streaming eyes as I ran blindly for the exit
someone yelled at me at the hallway
but I didn't stop
I was outside far sooner than I thought I would be
and I heard a car horn blare
as I dashed across the parking lot towards my car
I tossed my bag inside
no care given for the things inside
and was on the road before I quite knew what was happening
my streaming eyes made it difficult to drive
but I knew I couldn't stay there a moment longer.
The emotions rolled inside me
and I felt like I might be sick as I drove the streets.
There was rage bubbling inside me,
an inbitant rage that had been festering for years
but had never been fully realised.
I hated Marcus,
but until that point,
his actions had been those of a bully seeking a release.
It was only then that I realized his intention to hurt.
He wasn't content with just hurting me physically anymore,
He wanted to break me.
I didn't understand his animosity, and I never would.
I spent the rest of the day in my room having a nervous breakdown.
My friends didn't text me.
No one texted me.
As I lay there, waiting for just one person to reach out to me,
I began to feel utterly alone.
My anxiety was palpable as I lay in my bed and tried to gain control of myself.
Had anyone even noticed I'd left school?
Of course they had.
They were just too embarrassed by my outburst to contact me.
They didn't want to get caught up in the fallout of my shame.
I wouldn't be welcome to sit with my friends anymore.
I had been outcast.
My brain reminded me, almost absently,
that I could kiss my bid for student council goodbye as well.
No one would vote for me now.
No one would waste their vote on a loser like me.
The candidacy speech was tomorrow.
How could I mount that stage with everyone whispering about me?
How could I tell them that I would be their voice on the council, with them all laughing at me behind their hands?
My mind raced, my pulse raised, and I lay in a ball of perpetual anxiety.
I must have fallen asleep at some point.
My anxiety is so bad that I had worn myself out, because the next thing I knew, someone was knocking on my door.
Hey, Spaz, why do you leave school?
My blood ran cold.
It was her.
My sister, Stephanie.
was never what you would call her joy.
She was two years younger than me, a sophomore,
but the two of us couldn't have been more different.
My sister was the foil to my introverted nature.
She was a social butterfly who flew in many circles
and knew practically everyone.
She was their perfect little girl to my parents.
They were utterly unaware of her late-night carousing
and extracurricular activities.
To them she was an angel,
but to me, she was just a spoiled brat.
She was needy to the point of annoyance, her needs turning to indifference when you needed something from her.
She had come now to see what could be gained for my suffering.
Go away, I droned, not wanting to see her.
She came in instead.
Heard Marcus spilled the beans about our night last night.
I turned towards the wall, ignoring her.
It's not like we're dating or anything.
It's cute and I wanted to sleep with him.
I turned over angrily and glared at her.
You slept with someone.
who has made my life a living hell since I was eight years old.
Do you have any idea what that does to me?
You've made me into a laughingstock.
How can I go back to school and look Marcus in the eye,
knowing that he's been with my sister?
She smirked, not even having the decency to look ashamed.
As if anyone but you cares.
Get over yourself.
It's my life, and I'll live it any way I want.
For the record, he was great too,
she added the last bar before leaving.
My mother was furious when she was.
she came home from work.
Not at my sister, of course.
She couldn't believe that people would spread such lies about her perfect little angel.
She was furious at me.
How could I leave school early?
What was I thinking?
Didn't I care about my future at all?
Skipping glass and being truant was no way to live my life.
The sermon went on and on as we sat around the dinner table.
My sister was smug, of course, as I sat there being chastised,
and Dad went right on eating blandly,
as though the world was just as it always was.
To say that Dad didn't care was an understatement,
Dad simply didn't want to involve himself
in what he called women's work,
and didn't worry his mind with matters concerning the children.
I'd started shoveling my food down,
barely tasting it,
to escape the table and my mother's howling words.
With my plate clean, I asked to leave.
She wasn't done yelling at me,
but I told her that I needed to prepare for my speech tomorrow,
which seemed to perk her up a little.
She had known I was running.
They both told me how small a chance someone like me had of being elected,
but as I kept at it, I think she realised how much I wanted this.
She released me, threatening bodily harm if she ever heard of me leaving school again,
and I was free to return to my room.
I spent the rest of the night in a state of anxious tension,
a rainstorm rolled in around midnight,
and I found myself tossing and turning in a ball of rolling emotions.
I didn't dare go to school tomorrow.
Marcus would be waiting there.
All those people would know about my shame,
and they would all laugh at me.
I couldn't go back.
I couldn't go back.
I couldn't.
The lightning lit up in the sky,
and I started on my bed,
looking at the window.
Had I seen something?
It was impossible.
I was on the second story.
There was no way I'd seen something at my window.
My anxiety was creeping up on me now.
and it was making me see things.
That was all.
As the rain came down,
I got up and moved closer to the window.
The thunder boomed outside,
and I crept towards a glass square
like a rat trying to avoid detection.
There was nothing there.
Why was I so jumpy?
There was nothing on the other side of the window, but...
When the lightning flashed again,
I screamed and fell onto the carpet.
Something was on the other side of the window.
An inky face had been looking,
at me, and when it saw me looking, it had smiled. Its teeth had been Corgate White, a stark
contrast to its midnight person, and I felt my breath hitching as I stared at the jet black window.
The rain fell against it like angry stones, and I waited in terror for its next flash of lightning.
When it flashed, it was gone. I curled up into a ball on the floor, closing my eyes
and trying to whirl myself to sleep. But all I could see was that gruesome face.
I'd seen it for the barest of seconds, but it was imposed on my memory perfectly.
I lay in the floor as the lightning struck outside, too afraid to open my eyes, but too scared to sleep either.
My anxiety and fear roiled inside me like a tempest, and I spent the rest of the night huddled on the floor, shuddering.
Wake up!
I must have dozed off sometime before the sun came up.
My mother was standing over me, yelling and slapping me, as the sun shone merrily.
through my window.
My mother was rousing me, telling me I was going to be late.
I stirred grogly and went to my closet to get out the clothes I would wear for the speech
today.
I was too groggy for the anxiety to hit me all at once, but as I started getting dressed,
I remembered the rolling pit of dread in my stomach and stopped with my slacks half way up.
I couldn't go to school.
I'd have to face that mob alone.
My mother came in with a cup of coffee and a plate of eggs.
frowning as she saw me shaking and indecisive.
All of my excuses fell on deaf ears.
I was not missing school today, no matter what was wrong, and that was that.
She would take me and drop me off herself if that was what it took.
I was not ruining my education because of something silly that had happened the day before.
People would always be stupid, but I wasn't going to ruin my future for anything.
In the end, I took the coffee and just left to escape a venom.
As I drove, I honestly felt like I might be having a nervous breakdown.
The coffee shook in my hands, and if my mom hadn't put it in a to-go cup,
I would have spilled it all over my pants on the right of school.
I looked up in time to see the light turn red,
slamming in my brakes just a minute too late and getting a nasty look from a jogger running across the road.
I tracked a dolly with my eyes and jumped when she ran past an overhang near the deli.
The coffee flew out of my hand and hit the passenger window.
exploding in a caffeine puddle over the glass.
The passengers looked at me, concerned, as drops slid down the glass,
but I was already running the red light and speeding towards school.
My heart raced and my stomach flipped over,
my anxiety about the speech and the bully momentarily forgotten.
Under the awning, perched in the shadows,
had been two of the oily dark people that had appeared in my window the night before.
Their skin oozed with midnight clarity,
but their smiles were wide and grey.
As I drove, I thought I could see others, pairs and threesomes and foursomes, all watching me from the shadows of alleys and dark respites of awnings and doorways.
They followed me, they wanted me, but I did not want to be found by them.
I had to remind myself not to speed.
I had to remind myself of stop signs and red lights.
I did not want to be pulled over.
I did not want to stop until I was somewhere with people and lights and places to hide from them.
At that point, I would have welcomed the cheers of the schoolyard rabble.
I pulled into the parking lot, just as the first bell rang.
The halls were packed, students making last-minute preparations
and finishing their conversations around lockers.
But when they recognised me, I heard a definite change in the tempo of conversation.
Oh my God, isn't his sister the one who...
I feel bad for him. I don't know how he can come to school after that.
Oh man, Margas totally owned his assy as he as well.
I told the school how he...
And he just ran? He ran away and...
I walked fast, not stopping, not talking,
just walking towards my homeroom amidst the gale of gossip.
I heard someone laugh, but I didn't dare look.
It sounded fake anyway, teasing laughter,
more like the can laughter on TV than a real laugh.
The hallway became a gauntlet,
people staring, people laughing,
and amongst them,
I became sure that I could see the dark creature
that had hounded me all the way here.
They slipped among them,
staying in the shadows,
and whomever they touched seemed to laugh.
I wanted to run.
I could feel tears on the verge of breaking the surface,
but I didn't want to draw more attention.
The laughter was so snide,
so fake,
that I almost couldn't stand it.
It rattled against my nerves
and made me want to scream.
I rounded a corner,
still making from my homeroom,
and bumped into someone and nearly fell over.
I threw my hands up defensively, almost certain that it would be one of those star creatures with their smiling mouths.
But it was Miss Cunningham, the assistant principal.
She looked put upon, her normally well-maintained pantsuit and lustrous black air, looking rumpled and out of place.
I wondered if she too hadn't slept last night.
She hoffed when she realised who she had run into and tapped her foot impatiently.
I was beginning to think you weren't coming today.
You're speaking second.
Marcus was on time, so he gets to go first, and it starts in five minutes, so I suggest you hurry.
She turned and started for the gymnasium.
I could hear that repulsive laughter behind me, heard it creeping up the corridor like a cantorous cloud, and sped off behind her, not wanting it to catch me.
The gym was packed.
The entire senior class had assembled, taking any excuse to miss first period, and were murmuring quietly in the hard bleachers that had been pulled out for the occasion.
As I came in, someone noticed me, and the whispered conversations began again.
I heard some giggles, felt their stairs, and knew that they knew my shame.
My stomach was a royal of angry emotions.
My brain was befuddled and unsure of what was real anymore.
I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, my whole life hanging in a fibre before entirely imploding.
I had no clue how much worse it could get.
about time he showed up four eyes
Marcus said
looking resplendent in a suit and tie
that had clearly been tailored for him
I didn't say anything
my attention was on the crowd
I could see the creatures amongst them
whispering and gnashing those perfect teeth against their ears
some in the back had begun to chuckle
some had already started to laugh
those further down were still engaged in their own conversation
unaware of what horrors lurked behind them
They just sat in their little peer circles, chatting and living their lives free of this overpowering stress surrounding me like a cloud.
How I envied them.
Looking at all the votes you're not going to get four eyes, Marcus asked, but I continued to ignore him.
As Miss Cunningham mounted the stage, the laughter had already begun in the back.
She ignored it, opening the proceedings with a little speech before introducing Marcus to scattered applause.
Marcus grinned at me, mouthing that I should watch how it's done,
before mounting the podium and starting his speech.
He got straight to the point.
Students wanted more free periods and fewer assemblies that serve no purpose,
more pep rallies and car washes,
and less information about booster meetings and boring stuff.
He said nothing, but he said it well,
and he kept it short, so the students would remember it.
The applause was scattered again,
the laughter in the top row, taking on that mechanical sound,
that made my sanity scream from the depth of my skull.
There were more of them now,
the house lights dimming in the dark of the upper bleachers,
and the darkness was spreading.
Miss Cunningham had to call my name several times
before I finally stood and made my way to the podium.
Marcus's grinning face welcomed me from the first row,
smiling and inviting me to begin my pathetic speech.
I had forgotten my papers.
I meticulously crafted note cards,
but it hardly mattered.
I could no more have read them at this point
than I could have spoken Russian.
From the podium,
I could see the black tar monsters
crawling over the crowd,
working their way down
and bringing an inky darkness with them.
The student body needs a...
needs a person who will represent them,
represent their interest on the council.
I feel that...
I heard a rattling of stuttered laughter,
and it threw me off even worse.
I feel that I can...
I can be...
My eyes were as big as dinner plates.
They were smiling at me from within the crowd.
The two white teeth were horrifying.
Their teeth too large for their mouth.
How did they contain all of those teeth?
How did they...
Miss Cunningham was walking towards me
and I'm not sure if she was trying to save me
from the shame of making a fool of myself on stage
or she was angry that I even.
wasted a time. Regardless, she only got about halfway across the stage when she smirked and began
chuckling. I watched her, terror, written across my face, as she doubled over and began to erupt
in racking gales of full-bodied laughter. There was a laughter behind me too, the topar becoming a
single note of canned and emotionless chuckle as it spilled across the throats they were no longer
their own. I glanced to the side and saw Marcus doubling up, his fingers dragging her
of his eyes and cheeks and leaving bloody trails behind.
The mob was laughing,
the laughter dead and uniform,
and I felt my sanity unraveling a strand at a time
as I backed away from the crowd.
My foot found open air,
and I felt the wind knocked out of me
as I fell from the stage.
Miss Cunningham was tearing out her clothes
as she laughed her life away.
I scooted backwards, getting my feet under me
and running as that terrible laughter chased me.
It was the kind of laughter you hit,
here bubbling from the windows of an insane asylum.
It was the kind of laughter you hear in hell.
I ran then, ran until I found a door and barreled through it as the manic drone chased after me.
I ran until the school doors opened before me and I was out on the quad, my sneakers making for home.
I ran, the pavement, the most substantial thing I had felt all day, until I found myself on the porch of my own house.
I banged on the door until my mother opened it.
Confusion and anger stamped big across a face.
Then I collapsed and didn't come back to reality for the next three days.
When I did, I was in the hospital.
That's where I got the whole story from my bleary-eyed mother,
who hadn't left my bedside the entire time I'd been here.
Everyone in the gym was dead.
The police were calling it a gas leak,
and the whole city was mourning the loss of so many young people.
The doors had been wed shut,
all but the one I had burst out of.
School officials had found everyone inside dead from hyperventilation,
including Miss Cunningham.
Some had tried to claw their eyes out,
had peeled their faces open,
but all had succumbed to this terrible tragedy.
I said nothing.
My sister came to visit,
apologising for the way she had hurt me
and extremely thankful I had been late that day,
My mother was the doling woman I had always wanted.
She and my sister were never far from my side,
and their attention quickly became claustrophobic,
but I soaked it in as long as it lasted.
I would never tell anyone about what had happened that day.
They all assumed that my lateness had led to my safety,
and they would never have believed me if I told them the truth.
That was nine years ago.
I live in my own now, apartment, girlfriend, medial,
a good job, the whole experience.
My mum and sister still called to check on me,
my dad, his same old ambivalent self,
and it's heartwarming to have their love after years
of feeling like an outcast in my own home.
I felt that he was in my past
that I don't often talk about outside of therapy,
and I like to think that it may make me stronger
by having lived through it.
My girlfriend knows nothing about it, of course.
She knows I had something dramatic happen in my past,
but she knows I've moved on.
and the less I say about it, the better it is for my mental health.
At least, I had gotten over it.
Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail,
a letter from my old high school,
a letter for a high school reunion.
It looked like a postcard,
glossy picture on the front and words on the back,
with a banner proclaiming,
Welcome Back, Class of 2010.
The front was a picture of the gym as it had been
on the day of the event.
On the floor
gathered the smiling creatures
as they waved
and grinned
their eternal grins.
On the back
was written three words
that sends chills
down my spine
even now.
See you soon.
