The Story Of My Life.

One Thought..

It was a cold night, my whole body was a freezing ice, and it was totally normal, seeing that in the next morning I was going to return to my cell and continue my sentence. Yes, first day at school, and I was freaking out.

School is no game, it's the most brutal prison you will ever be put in, where you get all sorts of pain, you feel your body agonising and your soul tearing apart. Well, for me, it was probably the same, or a little bit worse.

I didn't want to get up, even though there was a light of excitment in my heart; I was going to see all my friends again! But that light suddenly disappeared, I was going to see my stupid classmates, the angry ones, the silly ones, all of them. This thought made me tired, so I began to come up with some excuses to convince or probably persuade my mother not to leave bed. I decided to go back to sleep, but I found it nearly impossible-I have some sleeping problems. A few minutes passed by, lying motionless in my bed, staring at the ceiling. My mind was drowning in the sea of darkness, when, from nowhere, a tiny thought, one simple word, made me stand up on the floor unconsciously. I quickly put my uniform on, didn't bother going to the bathroom seeing how late I was, took my backpack and jumped in my mother's car like a flash. My mind was empty, only one thought was left, one word that I kept saying over and over. We waited for my old brother Ray and my young sister Christy to come.

My mom was preoccupied in making phone calls. She works at the Ministry of Justice, where there is always a lot of work. She was upset for some reason, but it didn't matter to me, nothing really mattered to me, just this single word replaying in my mind.
I wanted to arrive to school as soon as possible, driven by that strong thought.
A strange energy was pumping from my heart, I was seeing my self already there, with this one thought.
The car roared to life and pulled me out from my revery. My brother noticed that there was something weird about me. "What's wrong?" he asked. I looked at him and tried to convince him with a smile that everything was fine, but actually, I was convincing myself. He didn't believe my hopeless smile," Do you really think that your fake grimace can fool me?" he chuckled. I shrugged and came out with my best shot "First day, why would I be really happy?" he heard me and just ignored. I glanced at the driver's seat and saw my mom on her own Justice planet.
We were approaching to school, my heart was beating faster and faster like the engine's speed. The car stopped. I took a deep breath, put my feet slowly on the ground, took my backpack and made a few steps to the entry. I hesitated, looked around to see if anyone else came early like me. Then, suddenly, the thought came back, the word became real. Not all that I could think of, but now all that I could see, was her.
