❝The end is just a new beginning❞
Monday mornings were always the worst, it was the day that my misery named high school started for
five days every week. Though my problem wasn't with the fact that I had to spent 8 hours a day listening to an overly enthusiastic, annoying or stuck up strict teacher explaining mostly things that I wouldn't use ever in my life, it were the people going to my school. They made me fear rejection and humiliation, so I decided to distance myself from everyone, to hide myself. The first thing that happened were the questions, everyone around me wondered what happened as they were left unanswered. Following the second thing, that was overthinking which robbed me from my rest. The third thing were the mood swings which caused my family to label me as a psychopath, and the last thing that happened was me falling into depression, labeled by the psychiatrist I was seeing as my positivity had been stolen by an irritating little boy who had seen it as a shiny brand new toy, as I liked to express it. I used to be social, happy, close-minded, not caring about other thing than boys, clothes, which party I would attend with my "squad", if I looked pretty, but now I was 'another person", as my mother couldn't help to remind me very chance she gets. I started to lose interest in which clothes I should wear, boys, makeup, everything that mattered for the society I lived in, but most importantly I had lost my interest in living. Months had passed since the day I had broken down which left a fearing impression with my parents as they highly tried to prevent a second time. After countless conversations and lectures psychiatrists, parents and friends had given me, I had given up on making them understand how I felt and faked myself and them in letting them believe I was better, that I was alright. Once again having a functional family, my mother admitted feeling ashamed of her own daughter and convinced my father to move to California, as so would always dream of. Dragging me with them, I couldn't complain about losing my friends or leaving school since that had happened already. Since then I had attended Mount Eden High school without drawing any attention to myself. I was the shy girl who didn't speak in the eyes of Mount Eden high and I was alright with that. I didn't want people getting to close but most of all I didn't want feelings again. But then came Icarus Wood into my life and hell broke loose.
