"NO!" I shouted closing my eyes, preparing myself to be hit. Seconds past and nothing happened, i opened my eyes and was surprised. Facing the white ceiling, i wonder, am i in heaven now?
I roam my eyes inside the room and sigh, i'm in the hospital. What happened? Did i survive?
"Jasmine! Are you okay? Jason, call the doctor!" I may have been too occupied wondering why am i in the hospital that i didn't recognized someone was inside. I looked at the person beside me and my brows furrowed. Mother? This is a dream right? My mom died 3 years ago!
"Baby, is something wrong?" She asked me dearly, concern in her eyes. I didn't answered her, i just stared at her.
"Baby? Are you okay?" She asked me again, i opened my mouth to speak, but my throat is dry so i signalled her for water. She gave me a cup and help me drink it.
"Mom?" I said, my voice hoarse. I was about to speak to her again when the door opened revealing a handsome young man, a doctor and nurse.
I can't help but think that this scenario is so familiar. Is this what you call, Deja vu?
"Sis!" The handsome young man, which is my brother, greeted me. He looked young though, where's his beard?
The doctor started to examine me and told my mom that my condition's fine and stable. I have a rough understanding of what's happening right now but i have to confirm it.
"C-can you give me a mirror?" I asked politely, the nurse looked at me weirdly before giving me a mirror.
"Don't worry Miss, your face is safe from scars if that's what your concerned about." I didn't mind hat she said because i'm too curious if it's really what i'm thinking about.
I looked at myself in front of the mirror and i just can't believe what i just saw.
My face that used to be full of wrinkles and blemishes is rosy white and clear with almost no pores! I pinched my cheeks and god! It's so smooth!
My eyes! My eyes that always bore a depressed expression is full of vitality and gentleness with a hint of admiration and questioning.
Is this me? But why do i look young? Like my 17 year old self! I slap myself in the cheeks, lowkey praying that hopefully this is real. I feel hurt and i can't help but cry. There's no doubt about it, I've been rebirth!
The gods must have pity my defenseless older self and decided to give me a second chance. This chance that the god gave me, i won't waste it! I'm going to change the future!
----
Days passed after i was discharged at the hospital, in those days that i'm recuperating I've been planning things out.
I've listed the names of the persons who i should avoid and made connections with. In the future i was so naive that i didn't even know that my own friends are traitors.
It all started in Highschool, and i'm very thankful to gods that i can turn the table round this time.
Georgia Tiu, Mandy Xu and Lala Wu, you three will pay for what you did. It's a good thing that i have a good memory and can still remember what happened in high school.
All day i shut myself in my room preparing for my counter attack, school starts next month so i better finish this.
