I am a cheerful child who loves to play, my school journey from Grade 1 to 2 was full of joy, but when i was grade 3, joy turned to sadness like a flip of switch
When I was in Grade 3, I was happy at first, but in the middle of the school year, the joy has lost sparkles, because the tree of our family has lost its strongest branch, and i was struggling to stay upright. At first, I had no idea that my dad is already sick. My mom didn't tell me about it, and she would always just say that he was at work, which was why he was always away from home. One day, I suddenly found out that he was now just a memory, tears fell like rain, a deluge of sorrow that wouldn't stop. I didn't go to school for a few weeks, because my grief is a shadow that follows me everywhere, a constant reminder of my pain.
Fast forward when I was in Grade 4-5, my classmates who knew what happened would always ask me, what happened, why he got sick, and if I was okay, im not answering does question, like a stone statue, unmoving and unresponsive. Insinde of my heart i still couldn't move on from losing my father, because I didn't even get to talk to him in his final moments.

Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away.

Luna's Diary
Ever since I was a kid, I knew I was different. Other children didn't like hanging out with me. I was silently bullied, and even the teachers seemed to hate me. And honestly? I was ugly. I really was... different. The way I talked, the way I walked-people even said my walk was horrifying (don't ask). The way I did things, the things I found interesting... they all set me apart. Then I entered high school. Suddenly, I became popular. I was beautiful, with a figure people envied. I had tons of friends-three-quarters of whom I still don't know by name. I had the perfect best friend. Teachers adored me. I was even the school's valedictorian. Sure, people still called me weird, but I ruled. Until everything came crashing down... all in one day. --- The day I didn't talk to my best friend. Just one day. Only, I didn't know we wouldn't speak again for days, then months... then years.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it.
