Chapter 1: the beginning
Location: class
“H…hello…everyone M…my name is Ella…urm…". I shifted from foot to foot not knowing what to do. The whole class was staring at me…oh crap … Feeling under a lot of pressure, tears subconsciously welled up in my eyes as I looked down at the floor. No no no...not here…not now…not in front of everyone…
It was the first time I had gone to a public school. Since I was small, I had the luxury of being homeschooled due to my medical condition.

I looked from left to right. My new classmates were looking at each other, confused.”I’m sorry!” I whispered before running out of the class, crashing into a wall on the way out, and making my way to the bathroom. I heard the teacher calling out my name but I ignored her and ran as fast as my heart allowed me to, before collapsing on the floor, my legs the shape of an ‘m’, I gasped for air. My heart was beating at an alarming rate. I was worried if I had to visit the hospital again.
“Ella… are you alright?” The teacher asked frantically, catching up with me.
I could not respond. My heart continued palpitating intensely. I could even hear it resonating in my own ears.
“H...help...me...”
