HAN'S POV
September 1, 2021 Wednesday.
Highgate Academy . I read the name of the school, standing outside with my Omma. This was going to be my personal hell for two years. I thanked god that she came with me to my first day or else I wouldn't even step inside.
"Do not worry baby boy, you have got this." My Omma says. I don't reply just nod. "Let's go in, Remember to breathe okay?" I nod again and make my way in.
The receptionist gives me a soft smile and hands me my schedule and the map of the school, thanking her I look at my Omma with watery eyes. I don't want her to leave me. What if that thing will happen again?
"My sweetheart, you do not have to worry about anything, I have talked to the principal, if you have a problem, you can go to him. And of course, if you are not comfortable, we will arrange homeschooling. Ok?" I give her the biggest hug. Can she be any more perfect?
"Of course Omma, I will try." I say. I am determined to make this work. They have enough to worry about right now.
"Good, now I am going. You have a good day. Try to make friends and any problems, I don't care if it is a paper cut, you call me or text me. Okay?"
"Yes yes, Omma. Bye I will see you soon." I give her a kiss on the cheek and walk to the lockers. As I walk I can feel the stares on me. Oh god, this is happening again. No, no it's not! It cannot, I promised Omma, I will try and I will. Walking to locker number 713, o see there are jocks standing there. Anxiety sparks through me. I almost make a run for it, but I remember Omma's voice. "Breathe in, breathe out."
"Who is this new twink?" Asks a taunting voice. I don't look up just keep walking. Unfortunately my locker is right behind them.
"P-Please, w-will y-y-you step a-aside? I-I n-need to u-use the- the l-locker." I ask them stuttering badly.
"You hear that boys, the little twink wants us to step aside. You must be new here. No one asks us to move aside! You find a different locker!!" He says angrily. That's when I start shaking like a leaf. I can't breathe. My eyes water and I have a flashback.

FLASHBACK:
"You are nothing but a scum on the earth! Pathetic! Hiding behind your mother's back." Jianyun sneers, holding the back of my neck in a strong grip. I am crying uncontrollably. There is no one here, no one can save me from him.
"P-please let m-me g-g-go." I begged him. But he threw me on the floor and started kicking me. My body hurts. It hurts everywhere.
"From tomorrow, you will not sit with your so called friends. You don't deserve friends. You are nothing but a piece of shit. Do you understand?!!" He asks angrily. I am too tired to give a reply, so I just nod, earning another kick in my stomach. "Reply me in yes or no!" He orders angrily.
"Y-yes, I-I will n- never m-make f-f-riends." I cry.

"We should leave, he is shaking like fuck." I hear a voice say. My eyes are closed and I don't dare to open them. I just stand there and breathe in and out. I can overcome the fear. I can do it. I hear them leave and sigh in relief. Thank god, they left me.
I open my locker and put the extra books I have in it, then scanning the map I make my way to my first class of the day.... Geometry! My favourite! I smile inwardly and enter the classroom.
