You were lost, which is not a big deal by the way. Because you have no friends trying to find you, which is kinda sad if you do say so yourself. Well anyway.

You were only here for the auction anyway, you deposited big banks from the bank just earlier and now you're just walking around with a whole load wad of cash in your bag.

No one really gave you a school tour? Or they did and you somehow forgot. You remember the two from like Mira and Zack right? They seemed like a cute couple. And they seemed familliar too.

Well this is just great, you felt like a loner, not just a ordinary loner a super lonely loner.

You sighed and continued looking around, how were you lost if you have a driver? Well you liked walking to school. It gives you that kind of vibe, you know?

Well who cares, you'll find your way eventually, after all they do say nothing lasts forever.

W

ell this is just awesome yeah? Well good news is you were on the right track, bad news is..

'What an awkward air!' You silently thought, is that a thing? Awkward air.

"Do- you really not remember me? Like at all?" Zack suddenly said, which made you respond without thinking.

"No way dude- PAUSE, sorry I really don't, you seem to know me though? Were we friends or something?" How charming, very.

He seemed to stop at that while throwing a glance at you. You also stopped because you don't know where you are and you were just following along.

'Oh no! Did i come off as an insensitive bitch? What the hell was i thinking?!'

While you were reprimanding yourself mentally, Zack on the other hand had to stop to process your words. Did you really forget him and Mira? Just what did your Mom do to you.

He remembers it, that day. You were avoiding him, not just him Mira too, he wonders what exactly did he do? But you seemed fine the whole day, in fact you even went to karaoke with some of your schoolmates without him and Mira.

"Sorry i have something i have to do now, just go straight ahead and you'll find your way." He said, that's right, he has to think long and hard about what he did and find out what happened to you.

He watches you bow at him and walk away. You really did forget him huh? What a waste and here he was hoping to have a long talk about everything that happened. What a shame.

J

ust how stupid could you get? Did you really think you could get out? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

"Mom please please, i'm sorry i didn't mean it, i won't do it ever again, i'm sorry i'm really sorry." Even though you begged you cried and pleaded. It wasn't enough.

It was never enough, she still made you drink that medicine. The medicine that made your head hurt, so much that you wanted to tear your own head open.

'Ms. Yuna..?' You were hallucinating you think, she was in front of you arguing? Screaming at your mom? You're not sure.

You were amazing, or atleast your mind was, because despite that banging headache that had you on the floor. You were still listening, or atleast your brain was?

"Yuna, get out of way before i make you." Your mother said coldly.

"Please, it's enough, that's enough, that can't be good for her. Look at her, leave her alone now, please."

Ms. Yuna really was amazing huh? Always protecting you despite knowing the risks. The risk of losing her job, the risk of losing her child, the risk of losing her husband, the risk of losing her home.

Yet she pleaded, for you.

Just like how you did for her.

Yuna Itaki was an amazing student, she graduated top of her class despite all the odds, despite the bullying, despite her home situation.

Yuna Itaki was an amazing mother, she was also an amazing wife. Her husband was supportive, while he couldn't get a job due to not graduating highschool he was amazing.

Yuna Itaki first met you when you were only six years old. You smiled brightly at her you smiled just like her daughter did.

There were people in your house, people who worked longer than her.

And Yuna knew what their hobby was, it was talking, whatever it is, no matter who it is, they talked. They didn't care, be it the nice gardener, or simply the driver.

But today they talked about her. And boy did they talk.

"Did you know? Itaki is actually a teenage mom."

"Oh how irresponsible."

"I know, how could she live like that knowing she ruined her own future?"

Yuna was used to all the talking, she was used to the attention or the bad things, she's used to the way people looked at her.

It hurt, it always did, it never got better, and she won't get used to it, more like she can't. She's calm, she's always been.

She didn't cry when her parents kicked her out, she didn't cry when she was pushed around, she didn't cry when she had to restart her whole grade, she didn't cry when she got rejected for countless jobs, she never cried. Never no.

But she was only human, there's only so little she could take, there's a limit to her too, she's not a superhero.

Just when will bad things directed at her stop? When will it end.

She stood there, took it all in, before a voice she recognized stepped in.

"Hey stop that! Ms. Yuna is amazing! She's amazing at what she does, plus she's getting a promotion while you're still wiping dusty old paintings no one's ever gonna look at!"

Yuna Itaki was strong, but she's only human after all.

She cried, her tears kept coming, she was so thankful, thankful for you. Thankful for your words. No one's ever stood up for her, not even herself. She remained quiet let people talk bad about her.

And for the first time someone did, a child stood up for her.

You stood up for her, gave a lecture and smiled at her.

"Don't worry Ms. Yuna, people like them who only talk bad won't get anywhere near you anymore! From now on, i'll protect you, so don't be afraid of telling them off okay?"

Just like how she didn't cry, she also didn't smile. But somehow you made her do both, and for that she won't let anything touch you. Whoever or whatever it may be.

Yuna Itaki was more of a mother than your own.
