Illusions

1.Welcome to my life

👽Amber

One fine morning, I was lying in my bed next to Margie. That's when our warden broke into our room with THE STICK. It's a long stick with a few thorns that wouldn't curse you for life but for an eternity(it's crazy, I know).

We assembled in front of her as she called our roll numbers. She started, "101,102,103,104...................125" and so on. When she finally came to 129, I saluted her with all the energy I had after the restless night that I had gone through. That's when she noticed that I had a small marking on my hand.It looked like an irregular circle and I hadn't remembered drawing it but still she ordered, "What do you have in your hand Amber?"I froze for a a second or two and then snapped out of it. I knew that lying about it would complicate my punishment so I confessed it and in return, I got a reward of 10 rounds around our school( let me just tell you, my school isn't small). I have to confess that Mrs. Malina's eyes are quite strong for a forty-year-old lady.

After finishing those ten rounds in the spine cold environment. My day went the same way. I had messed my day up therefore had to fulfill my hunger with a half-rotten banana that I had hidden under my clothes secretly as this was considered as outside food too.
That's when I tried recollecting my dream from last night. My brain had senses it to be a memory but I want so sure about it. I saw the world through the eye of around 2 or 3. I found myself in a dense jungle with tall trees, it looked like a rain forest. The wind was humid but fast at the same time.
All of a sudden I remembered that, I had to finish 50 sentences of 'I will not scribble on my body anymore, act as a good role model to everyone around and I can assure that this will never happen again.'(These people knew how to make hard punishments for sure, else they wouldn't be called a military school.)

Writing this imposition made me lose my break (the only part of the day when we can be a child). I still had some time to spare but I thought to have a little rest instead of going out into the ground again as I had had enough of the outside today.

Turns out that I had dozed off for a little too long. If it wasn't for Margie(she is my best friend, mentor, protector, mother and lots more. She has saved me from many situations like once I had sneaked out of the hostel to go buy us some snacks), -then I would have had to go for ten more rounds.

I usually have a weird feeling of current flowing through my body only during the night whenever I touch water.
