Reality Shift

The Preparation

After I fought with mystical creatures and unidentified beings I finally woke up from my dreams. Maybe I just dreamed of the computer game I lost last night which gave me the reason to think of it all night long.

It's just the same day as always. I thought that this time might be something special. I was hoping for some changes. Changes like sitting around the table with my parents to eat the meal for breakfast like when I was five. But then it has always been me who prepares food for my own.

After a few minutes of preparation I was already prepared for school. I checked everything and yes all of my things are ready except for one thing. I was hoping for a phone call. I checked the refrigerator also hoping for a sticky note on it. But then my hopes were all for nothing. I was only hoping and wishing for a message from my parents. Maybe for just a note saying good luck or best wishes for my first day of school.

I just told my self to never think and hope for it again. I went to the train station and headed to school.

Finally the train stopped and I came down from it slowly because there were so many people inside at this time of the day. A few meters away from me stands tall a shiny and curvy gate. I always admire it for it's artistic designs.

I entered the gate and showed my identification card to the security guards. I can see so many students and they were almost everywhere.

Everyone looks handsome and beautiful. I even think that they are looking at me as if I look like one of the weird creatures on the online game that I was playing. But then I can't blame them for their judgment because I also think that I have always looked weird all the time.

After I stood for how many minutes imagining things behind those steel gates I came down the steps. I didn't know that my bag was pierced by one of the protruding steels of the railings. I was shocked that everyone was looking at me. I didn't care and I took one more step. Everything went flying away. My pencils, ballpens, and notebooks spread to every directions. I felt so embarassed and didn't know what to do but then I just started picking them up and put them on the undamaged part of my bag.

I was surprised when I saw a girl picking my things up. She was helping me and handed those things she picked and started talking. But then I can't understand those words she's saying. I got overwhelmed especially when I saw that she is so pretty and helpful. It was the first time that a person helped me instead of going away and pretending that I wasn't in trouble because even those friends I thought who are real to me were just all a hoax.
