"Dear, are you alright!?"
I shot up from the floor. I was heavily breathing. After that, I realised I was not in my room.
where am I?
My eyes slowly moved to one unknown face. He was in his mid 30's. I blinked.
" I saw you were tied up when I regained my senses..then I quickly free you up but you were in deep sleep..Trust me! I didn't do anything! I even don't know how I lost my senses and ended up being in that trunk! Thank God, the trunk was unlocked."
I sighed...
-" No,sir. Its not your fault. Thank you for being concerned...I guess I should be get going before the sun sets."
-" What are you saying?....Its already night!."
WHAT!?!?
"Oh no! How am I gonna finish up my assignments!?"
Tears were forming up in my eyes. I rushed out from the bus and ran for home.
-" Dear, be careful!"

I am a dead meat.

On my way home, I was crossing the bridge.
"Hey look! Who's there?" Ashlyn smirked.
"Still in her uniforms huh?" One of her friends squeaked.
"Lazy ass"

What are they doing here?!

I ignored them and started to walk faster. People were looking at me.
Its so embarrassing!
Before situation gets worsen I ran from that place.
Than I happened to see a sea beach. It was only 2km distance from our home.
I wish I could just float into those waters to some unknown Island

One tear some how manage to drop after much hindrance. I took a deep breath and started to walk towards the water.

I am dead serious

Water were upto my knee and I was losing the earth under my feet.
Yes....few more steps, Rim.

"Hey!"
I could hear one guy rushing towards me.
"Wait up!"
I continued to walk. I was crying uncontrollably when one strong hand grabbed my arm and yanked me to the land.

I struggled to be free from his grip but he was too strong for me to do so.
What a waste of fat

-" Have you gone insane!?" He shouted at me
I cried, " I don't want to live anymore! I had enough of this! That Ashlyn, my fat body and now that damn assignment! I feel...feel like I am not the protagonist in my own life! Its like...it's like your fate has foisted you to give up and be a ghost!"

Shit...he doesn't know who is Ashlyn or whatsoever....

I was crying loudly when I felt his hand holding my shoulder gently.
"Come on...calm down. Don't cry..things happen, right? But that doesn't mean you will have to lose your life for that. Does it?"

I sobbed.
"Than what the hell am I supposed to do?"
He took my chin up and made me look into his eyes.
"A star never shines without darkness" He smiled.

I blinked.

He continued, " Worse situation brings the better version of you. You know...it takes rain to see rainbow"

Wow....I have never felt that motivated before.

-" Thanks...."
I sniffed.

He laughed.
-" I didn't knew that would work"
I also laughed.

After that, we had a little talk. His name was Jarred and he wanted to be a motivational speaker. He stays few blocks away from our house. He have one small sister and he is a basket ball player.
I admired his confidence. I don't think I would be able to be that free with a stranger.
He was the first guy...who didn't judge my looks...
I smiled
