BLUELOCK | "Wanted"

Highschool was shit (Part 1)

CHAPTER 1 PART 1

Highschool wasn't much for her, it wasn't bad either. Y/N wasn't much of an interesting person since she was always so quiet and never wanted attention nor an extremely smart student, just average. She doesn't remember some of the students there because she'd always have her head down. She would always hate the mix of gossip and all those eyes on her but she didn't care enough to bother. She never had friends since people tend to pick on her. Y/N was always seen reading a book or either doing homework, maybe that's why they would call her a nerd. At least she doesn't stress over people who waste their time on others rather than fixing their life. She'd remember she used to stay by the library or the rooftop since that's the only time she'd get to have some time alone.

(Y/N's POV)

"Congratulations Ms. Y/n '' Everybody clapped as I received my diploma, I could see in their faces how fake they were but I wouldn't blame them, the school had everyone forced them to clap. We, along with my mom and little brother, walked down the stage after the cameraperson took our photo. I'm relieved since our class was last to graduate so we could go right after.

"You're so cool sis! I wish I could wear that thing on your head soon!" I looked down to my little brother, he had the biggest smile that warmed my heart. I kneeled down to his level before taking my mortarboard (graduation cap) and wore it on my brother's head.

"Of course, you're the smartest one out there!" I chuckled as I pinched his cheeks causing him to laugh and giggle. Despite how much I've gone through in this school, I really hope he won't end up like me. I want him to have a bright future and become successful with a mind that's content and happy. I would never want him to experience the things that happened to me. He's still so full of dream.

"There you two are.." A woman approached me both holding a bouquet of flowers, that was my mother. She just got out from work and immediately went to the graduation in time. I remember telling her not to stress herself and just call a leave but she wouldn't listen. I sighed with a smile on my face, "What's that? Did someone ask you out?" Looking at what she's holding, she laughed before extending them out, making me raise an eyebrow, "They're for you!" I felt speechless, holding the flowers in my arms, jeez these are heavy. They were a mix of beautiful colors and they smell fragrant.

"Oh! Thanks, mom." Slowly smiling as I looked over at them , It's refreshing to see them today since every time I go home, mother would either still be at work or asleep in her room with my little brother. If not, they would be doing their own things but I wasn't against it. I was the same, I would head straight to my room and let loose. "We should celebrate! I'll cook some hotpot at home." She suggested as my brother went absolutely nuts, he always loved mother's cooking like how I do.

"Alright, let's go home." Smiling at them before they both walked back to the car, Y/N stood there for a moment as she looked back at the school. Her face didn't spark a hint of sadness nor excitement. I was just relieved to be able to leave, I looked around seeing everyone sobbing since they had to seperate. People around me were saying their goodbyes as if they were about to die. How annoying.. I'm glad I'm always alone now.

A person grabbed my arm, surprising me to realize it was just Mom. "You startled me.." She chuckled as she had a look on her face that I couldn't read. "What?" Why is she looking at me weirdly..? Did I do something? We both walked back to the car as I held the bouquet, making sure it wouldn't fall. "Gonna miss this school?" She asked, not having a clue how funny that question is for me. I never let my feelings out as I only kept it to myself, I don't open up to anyone, even them, I worry that I might add problems to them. Either way, I would just disregard them.

"Not really.. I just look forward to college." I shrugged , not one good moment came to mind from this place. I already had a college in mind that I wanted to go to. I wanna make use of my skills and hobbies by becoming a journalist. I want a job that's relaxing for me and journalism is something that I enjoy till now. "Well, don't over exert yourself too much, Y/n. Don't be like your mom~" She elbowed me playfully as I rolled my eyes. She always does this but only if she'd stop being a workaholic but I know for a fact that it wouldn't be that easy, this is reality anyways.

"Right, I'm a responsible kid after all" Rolling my eyes sarcastically. She pinched me on my right cheek, making me yelp in pain. I glared at her before rubbing my face, that's her alright. She's always so unserious but that's what I love about her. "You got this." As we reached the car, she pointed at my little brother waving at us and calling out my name. He looks energetic as always, I wonder where that energy came from. I scoffed as my mother went ahead and opened the car. I looked back one last time at the school. It always looks so plain and gray. It has always been like that but I couldn't help but feel a bit upset, I was confused on why but I guess it's all the same in the end. It's better to forget things and move forward, I guess. Before I was about to turn away, I saw a person staring at me till we made eye contact, it was my old seatmate. He looked at me with his usual cold demeanor but this time, he actually smiled a little. He stood silent before waving his hand as a signal of a goodbye. I slowly waved back before he walked away. I stood there as I watched him walk away intently, something inside me wanted to chase him before he got further, to thank him but I slowly realized we never even had an actual conversation. How childish of me.. I turned back to where the car was, "Y/n, let's go!

"Y/N..? Y/N..! WAKE UP!" His voice started getting muffled as my vision fades..

The End! Stay tuned for more!
