Broken Mirrors [IN PROGRESS]

a/n

Hey everyone! Thank you for sticking this far to the story. ^ ^

This is what I think Imani would look like. She was the closest to what resembles to Imani in my head :_> 

I hope your enjoying the book so far!

Aabidah out! <3

The classes end and I could finally go home.

"Hey Y/N!" Says a bright excited dark-skinned girl with long box braids reaching to her chest.

I smile at her, it's Imani, my only friend.

Well except for that guy I met today, but I guess we are more like acquaintances. 

"Hello Imani, how are you doing?" I ask her.

"I'm doing fine but I found this super nice boy in my class and he helped me with the homework! He's cute also but I noticed he had bruises below his knees." She states joyfully that someone actually helped her.

Namjoon reached her too, huh?

Usually, no one helps each other at this school so that was quite abnormal.

"Isn't he new, he's not used to this school yet," I reply

"Don't be like that, we should try to be friends with him, I think he knows you." She expresses positively smiling.

"What do you see in this boy? I mean you're not usually like this." I retort curious she's going on with this boy she just met.

I don't want to think about him. His smile and his bruises. I still feel guilty for whatever was with him for some reason.

"I think I might like him...Though we just met of course so I can't say anything yet, I asked him to go out with me!" She exclaims excitedly.

"Oh, I see. That's why." I say disinterested.

Another boyfriend of course. Imani had lots of boyfriends in the past that just didn't work out. I guess it's just practice till she finally finds the perfect one. 

I was never interested in that.

I wanted to become someone who helps people instead.

Am I even meant to help anyone since I have a broken mirror? Will I just fuel tragedy to other people's lives or am I not capable of doing so?

Lost in thoughts until Imani excitedly fangirls over a new group debuting.

"Enhypen, right?" I inquire her as I look at her phone to see a bunch of handsome-looking boys singing a song.

"Yeah! They debuted recently. They're really good." She hollers quietly trying not to embarrass herself in public.

She continues to fangirl over the band's amazing vocals and rap.

Kpop groups were recently the rage. I casually listened to their songs but I tried not to get too attached.

I have to study. I have a family. I have a future to look forward to and I have to work 10 times harder since I have a broken mirror.

Other people with broken mirrors either tried or not at all.

For Imani, she told me she had a normal mirror, which was obvious since everyone had one at this school.

My parents somehow got me into this school without showing my mirror. To be honest I have no idea how. 

Maybe that was just a mystery that I'll never know.
