I came home late again. It's past twelve in the midnight when I slept. I just don't like it in the orphanage. No one wants me.
The alarm in the old building rang, signalling everyone to wake up and do the usual routine. I only slept for about 5 hours with a sack of black fats under my eyes. Other children don't want to go near me as they we're afraid I'll eat them.
I woke up looking like a troll and headed to the long oval table beside the large glass window which I adore so much. The healthy sun rays kissed my pale skin as I ate. Pancakes are today's breakfast. I only eat 2 stacks of pancakes with fruit syrup as my breakfast I didn't eat much because of the flavor.
The younger kids enjoyed the breakfast with mixed maple, chocolate, and fruit syrup with the nuns. However it was bland for me. I finished my meal early with my signature poker face as usual. I took a bath with cold water and made life decisions in the shower room.
I got out of the chilly room and headed to my room to change. My uniform has sky blue long sleeves with a white and silver tie. My skirt is white with silver linings that is an inch above the knee. Our socks are white under the knee with black shoes. It's weird, I know.
I walked to school with a straight face because there's no reason to be happy and smile every repeating day. I walked through the hallway with my head down earning whispers from perfect humans. I looked murderous, as what people view me.
My exams we're aced but are not enough to be happy about. I don't participate in these boring classes like the trying hard girls to be noticed and get good grades like wut??

Finally classes are over. I went to my secret part of the forest and be at peace there with the butterflies until the sun sets. As I was talking to the deer that I know, I saw a glow in the distance like it was just wandering around.
It's almost sunset when I decided to follow the being. I was following it when I realized it was an angel—a boy admiring the forest. His milky skin was glistening due to the sun rays. He cleared his throat and the next thing was I found myself staring at the boy blankly with agape mouth. I closed my mouth and then decided to break the awkwardness between us.
"Err.... It's already sunset, well gotta go" then I started to walk the opposite direction. A minute after I was walking, I face palmed my self for not bringing my bag with me.
So I went back to the rock where I hang out and relieve my stress to grab my bag but it looks like I'm lost. 'Shit' as I cussed to my self. It was getting darker when I was trying to get back but I was drowned by the darkness and the silence started to swallow me. I was scared that if aliens are gonna abduct me or elephants are gonna step through me or I'll see my limp body lying cold peacefully on the ground. And then my body began to shake and my face went paler than normal.
I saw a faint glow in a distance so I followed it. The glow began to disappear as I saw the same boy carrying my bag with him heading towards me. "Does he literally glow from afar? Do I know him? Doesn't he have friends"? I thought to myself as he handed me my bag.
"I believe this is yours. Be careful next time. Oh, before I forgot. What is your name? What are you doing in this forest?" Said the boy. His voice was so soothing to hear. He's the reason why my brain stopped working tho.
His voice was like a melody that I'm willing to listen to forever. I wont be rude because of his kindness so I decided to be friendly with this glorious creature in front of me.
"T-thank you sir. I will be careful next time. I'm Emerald. I'm just going here every time after classes are over." I did a good job at not stuttering a word there phew!
"I'm Jungkook. Nice to meet you" he replied with his upper lip cutely disappearing.
"Nice to meet you too. I have to go home now because it's already dark and nanny will be angry at me" I said waving him goodbye. I felt pain shot through me when I turned my back to his.
"Emerald! You're off to nowhere. That's not the right way. Come on let's go I'll get you home. It's not safe for a beauty like you to go alone in the dark streets. The orphanage is near by and I could walk you there. It's not a big deal anyway" he said making my heart skip a beat when he said beauty. I'm not ashamed if I'm an orphan or something. Should I trust him? He looks innocent though, and cute, and hot. He doesn't look like a murderer though.
"I'm not wasting your time aren't I?" I said. Hopefully he would agree to walk with me. What am I thinking? I think I now have heart attacks!
"Don't worry I don't have much to do in my house you know. It's not like you wanted me to. I wanted to. You're lost you know. Come on before we can't see the road ahead." he said. Making me feel happy again made my heart jump outta my chest and was thankful that my blood rushed cheeks we're not visible under the darkness.
We both reached the gate of the orphanage and waved him goodbye as he flashed a genuine smile walking away. I felt a pang of pain slashed through my blood vessels as he faded away with the dark.
