Distance. LYY

uneasy

The bell rang for the tenth time today and I can't take it anymore. I don't what's this uneasy feeling inside of me that without procrastinating anymore, I walked out from my classroom to head towards the infirmary. "Hey? Where are you going?" Hendery walked towards me after realizing I'm coming out of the class when the next lesson is about to begin.

I just walked straight, not replying or look at him. I am, sort of well-known with the girls and boys in school, but I just don't know what makes them think I am attractive. It's not my fault that I have these looks since my parents are to blame for it.

I put my hands in my pocket and went down the lonely hallway towards the infirmary. I went inside and the school nurse looks at me with her irritated face. I wrote down my reasons and my name on the slip of paper and gave it to her. "Leave once you feel better" She stated and I just tiredly threw myself on the infirmary's bed nearer to the window.

I don't what makes them think I'm wasting my time here in school when all I do is slack and sleep in class. I'm interested in studying; it's just that it doesn't excite me anymore when I aced my tests. I did it for my parents, not for me.

I looked outside the window and realized how many bees there are. I just stare at them, who're buzzing and flying around, working hard for themselves. I would even die unremembered, and unremarked like the bees. I started enjoying my time alone here, smiling at how beautiful the bees and the flowers planted outside the window were.

As I was on my own time, something loud dropped inside the silent room. I am the only student in here other than the nurse from before that I just continued looking outside while she sorted herself. "Oh no! Are you okay?" I heard the same nurse's voice after a while that surprised me at how it wasn't her that dropped something from before.

"I'm fine. It's just a slight burnt" I heard another voice that makes me slightly turn to see who it was. It was a female student. How did I not heard her coming into the room? I then look at her hand, which was shivering with red, burns on her right hand. I look at what that dropped earlier and realized she dropped a kettle with hot liquids lying on the floor.

I look away and started wondering; why did she not even screamed in pain? or even have any expressive tone? It must've hurt a lot but she just stayed silent the entire time that I even didn't know I wasn't the only student in the infirmary.

5 pm

"Liu Yang Yang. Your mom is here to pick you up" I woke up straight when I heard the word: mom. I knew how well I fucked up but I couldn't run away right now. It's too late. I turned around and saw my mom, smirking at me. I sat myself up and my mom leaves the infirmary.

"Noona. Why didn't you just wake me up? You-"

"Liu Yang Yang! Come out now!" I heard my mom's loud, and pissed voice from outside that I quickly walked out of the room. I walked behind my mom while other students looked at me, smiling from ear to ear. Some students even try to win my mom's heart by clinging to her and acting cute. I walked back to my class since I forgot my school bag.

"Hey, you good?" Hendery who was seating on his desk, chilling with our other classmates asked me. "Yeah. My mom thought I got into trouble again" I sighed while putting all my books inside my bag. "Wait... your mom's here?" Hendery questioned me right away when I replied. I nod, knowing how he thinks he fucked up too because his mother and mine are close.

I pat his shoulder and walked out. Our mom found out about us getting into trouble for fighting with students from another school last month. Because of that, mom has been coming to school once in a while to check on me.

I got into the car and the driver drove us home. "Eat dinner and go to your piano class. Don't waste time. I should see you studying for your entrance exam once I reached home" Mom said, then I went out of the car quickly. I could say that I am pampered to have all these luxuries thing in my life, but I hate it. I just want to be happy for my own sake, too.

I threw my bag on the floor, then threw myself on my bed. I'm so tired for no reason. I don't even deserve to be tired. I stood up right away and shower myself.

10.36 pm

I've been lying on my bed ever since I reached home from the piano class. I heard the door system unlocked from downstairs and quickly took out my textbooks and started writing 'notes' on my notebook. I heard my mom walking towards the room and turned around once she knocked on my door and opened it.

"Your piano results are out. Tell me in a bit" I nod, and she closed the door. Dad has been out of the country since the start of the year so my mom's the only person I lived with at this entire penthouse, besides maids who works only in the morning.
