Before I Die

PROLOGUE

||°°I USED TO BE °°||

I was a boring person and an introvert.
I never acknowledge other existence.
I study my ass off and yes it was challenging.
I never tried sharing my problems rather, I work at it alone.

I thought being alone was fun.
I have wifi and interesting videos in this social video app that I could watch.
However, I was wrong again.
I realize, I never tried hiking, swimming in the resort, jamming or road trip with my friends because truth hurts, I never had a friend. I only have myself.
But, even I already knew about this, still I didn't try.

For seventeen years...
For seventeen years, I let it slide and never opened my shell because I was too afraid.
I was afraid to be rejected, mocked and criticize. I knew how toxic people can be and choosing a human as your friend was very hard task and decision to be made. They only exist when they needed you but when you need them, they're gone.

However, unexpected things happened. The boring life that I had somehow, was becoming interesting.

One day, I receive a mail. It was old and dusty. I tried opening it and I saw how well the hand written was. The page range 1-8 and I skipped to first until seven pages except for the last page. It was just a phrase but it was odd, "YOU WILL DIE IN AUGUST 10, 2019 at 8 pm".

I thought it was just a mere prank setted by bullies. However, when I read my full name in the said letter somehow I was beginning to believe it.

Why?

Because my full name in my class record has clerrical error but even though, I already raise that issue still, they ignored it. But this letter, it has my exact full name. Then, should I read back the skip part to be more aware in the future?
