New Face

↢ ❦ ↣

Everyone makes mistakes in life, it's the process of learning.

Even for you, a once troubled kid with every last bit of hope being sucked out of her by others. It helped you learn how to live with the fact that no matter how hard you tried to better yourself, people will always see you as the girl who threw her life away.

Now, how does one so young manage to earn that title? By crawling into her bed day after day, wrapping herself with every cover in sight. You would lay facing the empty wall and stay there for hours, up until your eyes dropped and took you to the place you love most.

An empty void that went on for miles. A place no one but you could enter. A place where you could do anything, think anything, and create anything you want.

Unfortunately, as soon as you woke up, you realized you couldn't live there forever like you dreamed of. You had to face reality and accept the people you wanted to like you, didn't.

Including yourself.

Regardless of it being a warm day, a cool breeze brushes against your skin as you walk down the sidewalk. Earbuds are popped in your ears, the wire trailing to your back pocket where the phone is located.

Once again, you are skipping class, for very good reason too. You aren't learning anything new, you see the same faces over and over everyday, the hours go by super slow, and honestly you can find something better to do than any of that educational stuff.

"[name]~ I know that isn't your last one!"

One of the headphones is ripped from your ear, resulting in you to stare at the boy who is getting on your last nerve. "I told you idiot, I only carry around one. One for me." You snatch the earbud back before flicking Mikey on the forehead.

He winces and rubs the throbbing area, scolding you as if he is the victim here. "Liar!"

Skipping school doesn't mean you have nothing better to do. You were actually going to run errands today for your apartment. Not even ten minutes of you running around the district, you were spotted by Mikey.

He dragged you along with them, giving you no choice in the matter. That's how you ended up here, following Mikey wherever he wanted to go. As for Draken, it's a frequent thing for him to do, but he was so relieved someone else is here to endure his suffering. It explains why he didn't offer you support when you tried getting away from Mikey.

"Oi, [name]." Draken calls.

You hum in response.

"You know eating one of those a day is gonna mess up your teeth, right?" He asks.
