PURSUIT OF DESTINY (OnGoing)

Pursuit of Destiny - Monster is Here

Jaye's POV

Two weeks have passed very quickly. My first few days here at Barcelona was a struggle and hardship. I couldn't find a nice or should I say a decent place to stay. At the end, I decided to get a small apartment near the University. I could still remember that day when I get to talk with the caretaker of the apartment. He couldn't speak English very well. I'm not surprised though, I'm in Spain and they are Spanish. "Como esta", the caretaker greeted me. I said "Hello" in response, then I asked if how's the payment will go. He told me that I should deposit for two months and a one month advance. That would be 200€ all in all. I know it's a bit much but I eventually agreed because I still have enough money and my mom keep depositing money in my account even though I told her not to do so.

I've come here to be independent and to stand on my own. My plan is to find a part time job while studying. I could apply in a restaurant and serve as a waiter or a dishwasher. Although, I don't have that experience, I believe that everything can be learned if you have, of course, the determination to do something. "Anything is possible. It would be hard at first but it'll turn out well, soon", I thought.

At the mansion, I was never allowed to do things on my own like cooking, washing, doing the laundry but here I need to do things on my own. Yes, I'm in the process of adjustment and I know I can get through this."That's a piece of cake", I thought, just to encourage myself.

I'm now entering a new chapter of my life. University student it is. My high school life was not that good. All of my classmates would bully me because of my looks and the way I dress. Some say, I look like a mongoloid and a retard but I'm completely in a sound mind. I don't know why some would just judge you the way you look, the way you pull your hair, or the way you speak. Yes. I'm a stammerer. I stammer a lot because I have a speech problem but other than that, I'm normal. I've had a lot of pain my classmates have incurred. Maybe that's the reason why I don't have that confidence, that self steem. I never defended myself then. Some would say I'm always hiding under my mom's skirt and that I'm a mama's boy. I admit though, but what will you expect from someone who never grew with his dad? The thought pained me. Some days I would ask myself if what would it feel like to have a father. What would it feel like to have someone whom you can share your problem with. What if he stayed? What if he never left us? What if? What if?

I sighed. Sigh of pain and hurt. I'm already 23 but the memory seems like it just happened yesterday.

I need to compose myself now and get ready to go to the University. My eyes caught the earphone.
"Where is that girl? Will I ever see her again?" What? I'm surprised of what I'm thinking. Why would I want to meet that girl! I would never want to see those raging eyes of her again. Never! Enough of the thought of her, it might bring bad luck to this day.

Looking at my reflection and I thought that there's nothing wrong with the way I dress and the way I look. This has always been my style. Mushroom hair, thick sunglasses and thick eyebrows. I have underbite teeth that makes my speech a bit awkward plus the fact that I'm a stammerer. I never had any friends at school because they only love bullying me.

I stepped out from my apartment and enjoyed the sun for a while before I started walking to school. The university is walking distance from my apartment.

Peeeeeeeeeep! A car almost hit me! "Hey, wa--tch i-t!", I shouted panicking! What's wrong with that person. I don't know if the driver is a guy or girl. All I know is the car. It's black and it's the latest model of Ferrari, a convertible one. What a day! I almost died of heart attack.
