"Mom..I'm home" I announced as I stepped inside the house, taking my shoes off. I got no reply. Not a single breath even. 'I would love to hear "oh I'm glad you're safe darling" from you, at least for once' I thought looking at my mom who is changing the TV channels.

'Can you hear me mom? Do I exist even?'

I plopped down on my bed and notifications were heard from my phone. "Now what?" I sighed painfully. "Omg Nell! I guess Lisa's boyfriend is coming to our school tomorrow! I'm hella excited!!" I read Mindy's message silently. 'I'm not even a bit excited' I scoffed and threw my phone to my side.

"Nell!" the sound of my door being aggressively shot wide open and the sound of my mum calling me, was just not hearten. I sat up and faked a smile "yes mom?". "I'm going to work tomorrow and I want you to wake up your sister so she could talk to the woman about her college. And if she's not waken up then call me and I'll have my ways" my mom said sternly after leaving my room.

"At least close the door behind you" I whispered, have yelling from irritation. I laid back on my bed after loosing my effort on closing the door. "God...if she didn't wake up, I'm gonna get punished with her" I pleaded for mercy from god.

-Next day-

I was walking my way to the bus stop when i saw Windy waving her hands from afar. "What brought you here? You live far!?" I exclaimed confused yet happy to see her. "Remember???? The message I sent you yesterday??" She said excitedly shaking her hands.

"Lisa's boyfriend? Oh interesting. Let me just write that on my list of things I don't give a fuck about" I replied savagely. "Ah come on, aren't you curious? They said he is different!" She held my hand and linked it with hers. "Uh..NO, how about that?" I chuckled and she joined.

-At school-

"where is he?" Mindy sighed and pouted. "Why are you so eager to see him?" I asked honestly confused. "Don't you listen idiot! He is different!! And besides they say he-oh shit!! I'm late for class!! Ttyl Nell!" Mindy waved running to her class.

'They say what? What is he?' I felt curious for the first time.

"Shit! I can't be late" I dashed to my classroom. "Nell-?". "I'm here!" I said stepping inside the class panting. "Right at time Nell" Mrs.Laura said smirking. I gladly smiled back at her and sat down on my chair.

'Alright Monday, what kind of bullshit you got for me this time' I thought and got my books out on my disk. "Omg! Is it true? That he's coming today?" I heard the girl behind me whisper to her friend. "Yes! Omg I'm so excited" the other girl answered her, on the way to dying.

' my god their voices sound like a broken radio.even that is less torturing'

'What's wrong with people? They make me feel as if a celebrity is gonna come or so! And besides what do they find good in a bullier? His face? His money? Ugh why am I even thinking about this. I have to focus!" I shook my head slowly and returned my concentration to the teacher.

-lunch time-

I grabbed my books and headed out to my locker. I saw a bunch of girls running to somewhere, squealing happily. I didn't know what's going on but it didn't bother me.

'Mindy where are you?'

I looked up at the ceiling to find a gorgeous painting. "Woah....I never noticed that" I gasped smiling. Paintings and drawings were my thing. I just had a thing for them ever since middle school. I remember once when my mom told me a story about me and my drawings it was just-

*BANG!*

I looked at my books that are now laying peacefully on the ground. They were all scattered around. "loser" a group of boys said and left. My wrists were already in fists and I felt my eyes getting watery.

'God...please. I beg.i begged for my mercy and you just gave me H.O.P.E...I guess you meant hold on, pain ends'

I took a deep breath and bent down to grab a book of mine. I reached out for my last book as i saw another hand picking it up. I looked up and saw a....a smiling person?. "Yours?" He smiled sweetly and offered a hand for me to grab. I immediately stood up ignoring his hand. "Yeah" I replied and took it. "Thank you" I said and completed my way.

'That smile?...nice people? Why did you smile to me?....who are you?..'

I turned around to take a small glance at the boy. I saw him looking back and he smiled again. I faked a small smile and ran to my locker.

-At the cafeteria-

"Omg!!! I saw him!!! He is so handsome!! Lisa doesn't deserve him at all!! Eww i don't ship" Mindy said dreamily. I just quietly munched on my food. I can't stop thinking about that boy. That smile, that voice, and that kindness he has. He was running in my mind nonstop.

"Hey hey hey!" Mindy snapped her fingers multiple times. "Oh..oh yeah I didn't. I'm not interested" I bluntly told her as I ate my last piece of rice. "ARE YOU SERIOUS??" She yelled and as a reflex I shifted my eyes on her. I saw her apologizing to everyone else as she grabbed their attention a while ago.

"Are you serious? You didn't see him?" She whispered this time. I nodded sluggishly. "Wait just a sec!" Mindy placed her spoon and took out her phone, seeming like she's looking for something. After a few of seconds she moved her phone facing me and showed me a picture of a boy. "That's him" she said smiling.

-----

"Wait....I saw this boy! It's the 'smiling' boy. The one who helped me with my book" I stated shocked, grabbing her phone to take a closer look. "Oooohhhhh we have a winner " Mindy snuggled my arms.

"Yeah! But I'm not lucky....problems are just yet to come.."
