So the rule is: i have to keep a good image for my family's sake. I have to make them proud and happy even though it means setting aside my own happiness for them.

[School bell rings]

" Well, that's all for today. Please submit your reports to me tomorrow at exactly 8. Class dismissed."

This is her second year in highschool, all is well..she thinks so. The course her parents had decided for her when she graduate was the least course which she never thought of having. It was her family's decision and so, as a good daughter, she did agree and followed.

She devoted her life to studies and never did have time for other useless things, her parents want her to become a doctor but she never wanted to be a doctor, she wanted to be an artist..

"What could an artist get? What kind of stable job could you get? Can you even get money out of it!"-mother

"Please just consider this, take this course. It has to be this course. Besides it is good to have a doctor in the family. You're brother is now a successful business man and soon he will be the next CEO of the company. As for you, it's not that much that we are asking." -father.

Doctor...okay...

Her brother was good at everything... They had 5 years gap so they're not as close as you think they are and besides when she was young, he often gets out of his study room and it's a rare sight to see him. But there were times he went and play with her but it was just a very short time because everytime he plays with her, after 2 minutes of playing he was always called by their dad and after that he would never come back. Her brother was kind, he had this smile which gives her hope beyond all the hardships she experienced and in his eyes she could see something familiar....there was suffering and sadness and she knew he suffered much more that what she had suffered....it was so sad that those times she got beaten by her parents he wasn't there because he is already abroad studying and everytime he finds out that his sister had been beaten badly at home he would always send gifts hoping it would make his sister feel better, and it did. Because her brother was the only one she could count on to. Even though they hadn't had much time to be together and to be so close with each other, they still communicate.

She had no friends at school and lived in an apartment all alone...she decide things to go that way to avoid any hindrance to her studies. But she does make conversations with her classmates but still keeps her distance so that they won't get too close with each other. After All, she's used to being alone. She's fine.

"Today we will be...blah blah blah", professor.

Everyday is just the same, wake up, eat, go to school and study. The same routine everyday. They say the main character in a story always sits on the last row beside the window but for as for her it is a place for loners...like her. Somehow sitting at the last row and beside the window gives her a little privacy and peace.

During break time..
At the cafe..

"Have you heard the latest news."-girl 1

"There was a transfer student today from class 3A. And guess what? He's so damn hot. I can't help but drool looking at him." -girl 2 giggling with excitement

"Ew you're disgusting. But really!? Ugh! I do hope to meet him!!!" -girl 3

"Huh, why waste time on such jerks? Can you get something by those things. Tsk.",she said to herself while eating her sandwich.

she was so busy minding her own business than listening to the noise from other table (of course she is sitting at the last table at the corner of the cafe with the school garden at her view so basically she's not facing them leaving the other side in front of her vacant), they seem to be shouting with happiness and excitement but she dont know why....just then as she was about to take a sip of her juice, someone sat right opposite to her on the the same table on that very vacant seat. She almost spit out the juice and looked at the person who sat right in front of her.
