Tychophobia, the fear of randomness.

Life is unfair. Mostly everything that you're wishing will never be granted, sometimes none of your wishes will never be granted or sometimes there's some that are granted but you'll think if is it really that worth it or not? Who knows?
"Life is unfair. And it's not fair that life is unfair." – Edward Abbey

The third day

The sun is now rising, the sky is slowly changing its color from black into dark blue as the sun keeps rising. The sunlight is now slowly surrounding around the place. The moon is slowly disappearing out of the sky as the sun keeps rising. It was going to be a beautiful day. But not for everyone.
Lara, who didn't sleep after the nightmare, is now sitting on her bed with her feet on the cold floor. Lara is just staring down to the floor as if she's staring at the nothingness with her tired, dead, empty red eyes with eyebags under them. It might look like she looks expressionless but it's just her being sad there. She didn't want to get out of the house anymore but she knows that she has to just for the school. She doesn't even know what's going on anymore as she just keeps hallucinating things ever since the nightmare had begun just like the smiling faces, the barn house, the toilet snake that she saw mostly yesterday. She needs a new therapy but she doesn't want to even when she can't even talk.

It's another morning, it's 6 AM. The sky is blue but the clouds are now darker. As usual, the people are now getting ready to get busy for their jobs and works again, the students are now walking in their school yet here's Lara again, stopping in front of it just to stare at the school building, as usual, the students are just staying away from her, doesn't even want to be friends with Lara just because of how mysterious and quiet she is, nobody wants to be with her at all. Lara keeps asking to herself on why is she even still alive, why was she saved by the teachers on the old school that she went in even if she thinks that they don't even care about her at all. Lara turns around for a moment to look for the barn building that she went in yesterday just for it to be gone, not even there at all. While hallucinating about the barn yesterday, she was just there, standing in front of a closed building, staring at the wall, literally near the wall while the people are just taking a glance of her, seeing how weird she is while she was just standing there, hallucinating about the barn building that she's seeing in her vision.
Lara turns around once more, facing the school again before walking in the gates of the school, taking a glance to the other students, greeting their friends, meeting with their friends, saying hi to their friends as usual while Lara is just walking all by herself, not having any friends at all.
Ever since what happened 5 years ago, the deaths of her family, she couldn't even make any more friends because of how depressed she is and she only shows her expressionless face every time she went in school, the students think that her expressionless face is just so scary so they kept staying away from her.

Once inside the classroom, she just sat there, alone in her seat while her classmates are being loud as usual while Lara didn't even mind about them being loud. She never did anything else once she just sat there, she just keeps sitting and staring at the board, that's most likely it. She's just there and didn't do anything else.

5:15 PM, Wednesday, January 25, 2023.

Lara is now walking on the sidewalk all by herself again, she's just all alone and no one's with her as usual. She keeps thinking; why would she even expect someone actually trying to be friends with her, it's a silly thing to think about since she doesn't even have any friends for so long, so very long for her. The years passed by so quickly but it felt forever for Lara since she will always have her long days sleeping in her bed for hours, like hours. She's always in her bed especially when it's summer, she never stands up once. She never wanted to get out of the house because she doesn't want anyone to be bothered by how quiet she is just because she is mute. She hates how she turned from being a happy child to a depressed teenager, being a loner feels like a good thing but there are times that it doesn't even feels so good for some reason especially when you wanted to have some friends or something, it will always be so lonely, loners are always alone with themselves, they're always going to die alone.
They are going to be alone in the afterlife forever.
