Hope you guys like it !

"I've had worse mornings, this is nothing .I'll survive another day in that hell high", Sophia murmured to herself and hurried out of her bed to enter the washroom. She was more of a 'self- grounded' girl , her parents loved her but the fact that she was driving that car on the day of her brother's death, killed them from inside. They were clearly unable to control that frustration and it showed whenever she tried to communicate with her parents.
Putting on the ' I-can't-afford-to-be-noticed uniform' that she owned, i.e, her jeans ,a black hoodie and a brown backpack, she made a run ,down the stairs straight out of the house's main door. No human contact , no talking , no nothing, only attend the classes and return ! - she thought to herself. It's not like she was afraid of people or anything , it was the fact that she had a bad past with the people surrounding her, suffocating her, trying to bury her sentiments while they were actually alive.
After struggling through the whole day, that night she wrote :
February 6, 2015 :
I never imagined this , NO. It's like people are killing it in making me feel like some burden or crap. It's so much easier to lock yourself up in a tiny room or perhaps live on some uninhabited island.
I didn't see Dan today. Didn't get me ? Oh, Dan's the kid whom I offered to tutor. Well, I couldn't see him, that was pretty much my mistake though. Al blocked my way, like literally. That guy is BAD( I din't swear in this case, so I guess you pretty much understand how wicked he is). But I still don't understand where did I go wrong. I missed ......I.....I.... it's surprising to even think that Al used to be my best friend. I loved him he knew that , perhaps , he was the same all along or maybe he knew.......... . It was MY mistake , I didn't listen to you bro, I defintely should have. You were the most emotionally mature 8 year old that I have ever met and you will be that special one forever, kiddo. Okay, wait..... I'll write what happened to me later on.....the sky is clear.... I'll go upstairs and we can talk the whole night.

You have made so many friends and I can see all of them. You guys are twinkling together ,It's pretty, I wanna join you guys too, but then I will be labelled as the 'Loser who took her life'. I am trapped in this web of pretended lies,labels , emotions and sentiments yet the society is voting to uphold the labels only. They don't know how I am , what I feel , I was never the monster that they thought I was ...but you know , directly or indirectly however it might be I was the one responsible...... I still sometimes feel the monster , he , he was the one to be blamed......... I can't say , it's too risky I may stop pretending then,......it seems as if my pretence is taking over my reality ... I have started to actually believe that I killed you . Please, bro for once , tell me I was not the one , else I might lose the little bit of sanity that is left in me.
Let's cheer up , forget these things , remember how we used to ride our bikes together. Ah! That was fun, those days . Your 6th birthday party? That was weird though ,you started crying while playing hide and seek and we laughed ..... you were looking funny with that cake and all on your face .....but those bruises on your neck , you never explained , it still haunts me . Why did you have to hide things from me ... then again you are my brother , there are some things that I didn't tell you too. Now, you know cause you can see what's happening from up there.
Okay, wait I have homework . I'll bring them up here and we may solve them together. College is the only way out of this mess . May be I' ll take some additional classes, shop class is a must in the list . I'll build you your dreamhouse and we will have fun together . <3
For now,I will complete my homework !
The story is going to get messy. Let's see if you can guess whether it will have a happy ending or a dark one. One more thing, please stand up against bullying .
