Flashback

I was walking back home from school, feeling nothing. As usual. Although I feel a little excitement in me because I couldn't wait to see my mum.

I felt so lonely whenever I'm in school. I see people hanging out with their friends and laughing with them while I'm there staring at them like:

It really sucks to be me.

I could've just been brave enough and talk to them but no. I chose to stay quiet and live in the shadows, pretending that I don't exist.

Why you might ask? Well, I don't like the people in my school. All they care about is popularity and sex.

Sometimes, I wonder why am I going to school. What I always do is wake up. School. Study. Sleep. That's all.

The worst thing is, I'm the only child so I'm lonely almost everyday. How I wish I could have someone by my side...

I let out a sigh as I walked down the streets, looking down and kicking the stones with my hands in my pockets. I heard someone sniffing at my right.

I slowly looked up and saw a boy wiping his tears as he cried silently. He had bruises at either side of his cheeks. The blood was trickling down from his nose hole and a bleeding lip.

I stared at him, thinking whether I should go up to him or what. He continued crying and wiping his tears. I felt my heart sinking just by looking at him.

I walked up to him slowly and bent down in front of him, my shadow covering half of his body. His head moved up slowly until his eyes landed on mine. He moved back slightly, eyes wide.

I could get a better view of him. From what I'm guessing, he's older than me and...bigger than me? I don't know...

"Are you okay?" I manage to speak without stuttering. I mentally pat myself on my shoulder, feeling proud of myself.

He wiped his tears quickly. "Y-Yeah..." He gave me a tight smile.

"Then why are you crying?" I asked. I didn't expect this answer to come out of my mouth.

He stayed silent as he looked down on his lap. His lips formed a pout looking like he was nearly on the edge of crying.

"I...lost them..." He muttered sadly. "I can't believe lost them..."

"You lost who?"

Other than the sounds of people talking and walking, the silence fell onto us. I didn't want to force him to answer. I'm not like that.

His lips parted as he looked up at me. "My
parents...I lost them..." he whispered sadly.

My eyes instantly lit up with shock, my heart dropped at his words.

"They mean so much to me. They were the only people who cared about me when I was sad and alone. Who's going to be there for me now? Who's going to make me happy?" He continued.
