y/n's POV

----

Pink and blue banners that were strung across the empty classroom tickled the top of my head when i sneaked inside. Loudly plastered in vibrant lettering, the poster that read '5TH GRADE GRADUATION' caught my attention, causing me the failure to notice the boy who ran outside after hearing my footsteps. I cluelessly shuffled towards the coat rack on the chalkboard wall and hummed lightly to myself.
While I Rummaged in my pink backpack looking for my black dress shoes, i noticed a piece of crumpled paper fell out.

I scanned the paper with raised eyebrows, having to reread it many times because of the messy handwriting. But when the realization kicked in, my heart crashed and I let the paper drift to the ground

-

"Y/N!"

Minho yelled happily and ran into the classroom, tripping over his slightly over sized suit. I turned around, with hot tears streaking down my face.
Minho screeched to a stop, and slowly approached me as if trying to pet a whimpering puppy.

"What's wrong?! Why are you crying?" Gasping for air, I stepped back when he reached to comfort me.

"Stay away from me..!"

With a confused and worried expression, he noticed the paper clenched in my trembling hands. "It's all my fault... I'm a monster." Minho, still confused, snatched the paper out of my hands. You lift your head quickly and yell, but its too late. The sentence has already been read, and the knife has already stabbed his heart. His knees give out and you both, sprawled on the classroom's cold concrete tiles, let your tears hit the floor.

"NOO!" I jump up from my bed in fright, shaking and soaked in cold sweat. I didn't have any expectations about hitting my streak of 7 nightmares in a row last night, but I'm not too surprised about it. I sigh, and push back my ash brown hair to let the cold atmosphere hit the hidden parts of my jaw. My childhood trauma still lives in my mind rent-free, but I always refuse to let it bother my daily schedule.

Heading to the dining room, I quickly blend up some frozen bananas and strawberries while tidying myself in the bathroom.

I look in the dirty mirror and notice the dark circles under my eye, plus dark spots forming in places they shouldn't. I barely have time to sleep, and when I do, I have haunting nightmares that rarely lets me lose a sight of. Letting out another deep sigh, I swing my legs while flipping through my checklist. The things to do list was expanding everyday, and taking away the free time I still have left. I take a quick glance at the digital clock on the wall, and open my closet, realizing that if I got ready any later, i'd miss the bus. I pull on a plain black pencil dress and a grey collared blouse, which was basically my only choices in order to dress work appropriate.

Jogging to the entrance of the bus, I scan my bus card and just as I was about settle in my usual seat, I notice a young high school girl sitting there. I pick the seat as far away from her as possible. 'She's a high-school-er, there is no reason I should cause her bad luck.' The truth is, ever since fifth grade, I have always thought I was a source of bad fortune and no one should stay to close to me in order to be safe. After a series of unfortunate events, I decided that it was better for everyone if I distanced myself from others. And if some people didn't let me... well then, that's where my temper showed itself...

----

"Cheers!"

I lean back on a wooden chair, sitting at a table, seating about 6 people. I scroll through my cellphone, looking glum under the dim and yellow lights. They all look festive, talking and celebrating their good day. I pretend to smile, and grimace when I get chosen to drink first. I'm not weak with alcohol, I just don't want to appear approachable. In fact I don't even know why i'm here at this meeting. The only reason i actually came here was to get chosen as employee of the week, and get a good record at the area. But drinking first was too much of a risk.

"Ahah, it's fine! I'm really bad with alcohol!" I shyly act out my new persona. All the older women rolled their eyes, but the older men laughed and pressed harder.

"It's fine, if you get a little tipsy, one of these boys can take you home." The leader of the group winks at the others. The boys all look around and cackle in a perverse way. I slightly turned my head and whisper.

"Bastard." The leader who was sitting next to me slid over in surprise of your sudden choice of language. I chuckle and send a eye smile towards his way, and under the table gesture your finger across your neck in a psychopathic way. The other dudes notice my smile, and they send their signals to him, basically saying 'Good luck getting her!', which was, honestly so degrading. But to my delight, he whimpered and made sure to stay as far away from me as possible that night.

I slam my head on the bus window as I imagine the horrors at work I would have to face again. I have done some thinking the past few days, and as much as I tried to ignore my nightmares, it was almost impossible.

I was contemplating on using sleeping pills, but the side effects and addiction was probably not worth it. I also thought of changing the interior of my bed-room, because everything was just so dark and bland that it was almost like I was asking for a nightmare. But I know that I wouldn't have time for any of that. I pushed the thoughts to the back of my head, and looked straight ahead while waiting for the long and bumpy ride to end.
