Then school ended before I knew it. It went by fast, and luckily we have no homework. I'm at least glad at that because I still feel ill from the cold and I would be too tired to do it anyways.
The walk home is always so lonely since I have no friends. I've always been quiet, trying to keep my distance away from everyone. I don't want anyone involved in my atrocious life and problems, as well as I don't want to be bothered. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it." I said while walking down the street.
I reached home hungry and tired. I took off my shoes before entering. "Tadaima." I said to no one once again. I let out a big sigh, it's been 3 years of living alone. But I still keep saying 'I'm home' or 'I'm going out', even though I know that no one will be there to reply.
Then to the kitchen I went, I opened the refrigerator and saw nothing. Well I guess it's time to go to the convenience store for the mean time since I'm too worn out for groceries.
I got out of my house and went to the closest convenience store. It was a 5 minute walk so it really wasn't a hassle. At the store, while browsing through the food that I was about to buy, I saw someone eating food straight from the shelf.
'Weird, that is one hungry person, aren't you supposed to pay first?' I thought to myself, looking past to it. Oh well, it has nothing to do with me anyways.
After paying for the food, I walked back home. While strolling back, I was already eating the rice ball that I bought. I'm hungry and still a bit under the weather, I couldn't help it.
I looked up the sky, seeing the bright stars yet again. "Beautiful" I said out loud. Staring at the alluring sky, I clutched the plastic bag which held my food, tears started to flow out of my eyes. 'Not again' I thought. I don't know why, but looking at the starry sky triggers my sadness, my innermost despair to come out.
I feel so weak, I shed tears all the time in spite of the fact that no one has ever seen me cry. I never told anyone how I really feel, no one has cared, and no one is there anyways. I wiped my tears, and dumbstruck, I saw the girl who was eating at the convenience store.
She gazed at me then spoke, "Why are you crying?" looking very puzzled, she asked.
