No one told me how dark it would be here.
Even during daylight, there's always a huge cloud looming over like a gloomy nightmare.
The students here are either dull or straight-up assholes. Some of them actually go through the shit these teachers impose on us, while others keep defying them. They're punished for disobedience but that still doesn't stop them.
They teach us for eight hours straight, give us tasteless meals only during breakfast and dinner, and occasionally make us clean the rooms or the cafeteria.
You're allowed to sleep only for exactly seven hours. Even a minute late and you're punished by ten lashes on your wrists with a wooden stick.
So far, I've got twenty.
There are some who choose to be alone. Those are usually the quiet ones. The ones who are really mean or dangerous form groups and pick on other students when there isn't any supervision.
So far, it's been one week and I already feel sick of this place.
At night when I try to fall asleep, my body aches for Castle's touch. His voice. His eyes. I miss him so much already that it fucking hurts. During mealtimes, I always worry if he's eating well or not. Right after I wake up, I wonder if he slept well without breaking down.
My only hope is for these remaining months to go by quickly and to see Castle again.

It hurts.
It hurts all the time.
There's a big gaping hole where my heart is supposed to be.
Sometimes I can't breathe.
Sometimes I think I'm dying.
Mostly it feels like I'm floating on a lake, waiting for the water to shove me into a river and carry me away so that I'm lost forever.
I thought I can't be hurt anymore after Mom died.
Turned out, I was wrong.
I didn't realize how much strength Holly gave me until she left. I didn't realize how much I relied on her for her support. I didn't realize how much I looked forward to her voice and her words to comfort me.
It's so silent now. There's an even bigger void now that she's not here.
But it's alright.
She's going to come back within two months and three weeks, and nothing will come between us again.
