Lynn's pov
"Who even said I want to steal your life?… I'm living as you right now to fix your fucking problems for you." I already had it with this awful day, and Lyde really had to add more fucking stress for me.
"…I-I said I was sorry! Lynn, I—"
"You know, I'm fucking tired of all the fights, the beating… and dealing with those violent bastards. While you're sitting pretty, waiting for your problems to clear up and take your life back as soon as it's all back to normal."
"…"
"But you thought it'll be just as easy to be me, didn't you? I bet you're having a hard time living my life at school because of that bitch Haley. Is that why you're hurrying me to fix all your problems and live your own life again like you used to?!—so that I can deal with my own problems in my own life?!"
I've been expecting him to be like this soon enough, and it seems like he had enough of my shitty life. "…has it been always like that for you?" He asked in a soft whisper.
"How else will it be like!? And don't even ask anymore, acting like you give a shit about me makes me sick!" We used to be so distant. I can't even remember the last time he's been there for me.
"I'm sorry." He repeated.
I pushed him away and sighed again. "…if you're that worried, I'll give your life back as soon as I'm finished. And we can go our seperate ways again."
"Lynn!" He didn't stop me anymore as I got upstairs to my room.
And I felt even more tired when I laid myself down on the bed. My entire body was still aching from the pain even if I was already treated at the hospital.
To be honest, I'm starting to regret when I turned down Ren's offer of letting me go. Getting beaten up until I'm almost dead isn't so worth it. Though getting a huge amount of money out of it… doesn't seem so bad. I've already decided that I'll do all what it takes to get myself out of the gang once I earned enough.
Once I get all the money I need, then maybe I can finally move out to somewhere I can live without any problems, transfer schools, and then get some part-time job to sustain the daily life.
Yeah, that's it. I can all do that soon.
I'll start anew.

Lyde's pov
And so, I had to suffer another day pretending as Lynn again.
Her school life is definitely terrible. Lynn is like the victim of bullying in those clichè movies, never thought that kind of life exist. And the incident with Haley last time is something I won't be able to forget easily, when I'm constantly reminded of it whenever I go to class.
As I stepped inside the classroom, almost everyone fell silent and then proceeds to talk bad about me. "This class is loads of bullshit." I told myself.
Then even Lynn's study table is messed up. Lots of curses written with permanent ink, disgusting trash smudged, and there were even a picture of me torn there. They really like putting an effort with bullying instead of their studies.
And another headache came. Teacher Lucas entered the classroom which starts the class. I already hated him, and to think that the subject he's teaching is science with a hint of that damned mathematics— I couldn't hate him more.
Though he's not that bad of a teacher, everything he taught was understandable.
If only he wasn't hitting on me or my sister, then I might have liked him.
Then soon as break came, I tried my best to evade every possible problem that can cause my day a ruckus. Their mocking mouths were unbearable, I can't let them ruin my day more than it already was.
I headed to the rooftop, the only place that doesn't get that students don't go to that much. It's a horrible place because of the heat and there's not much shade too. But that's good enough for me as long as people aren't there.
However, just when I was going to go up, a certain someone stopped me. "Hey, students aren't allowed there Lynn."
"Mr. Lucas!" Damn this teacher. I hate to see his annoyingly handsome face the most.
"Why are you going over there? Have you already bought food at the cafeteria? Are you going to eat at the rooftop?" He leans closer with every questions asked.
It ticked me off so I pushed his face away. "I'll eat where I want to eat, so please just leave me alone."
"You don't need to be so cold. I'm just being concerned about you." He even made a soft worried expression. Shitty teacher, I know what he's trying to do. Though he won't be able to seduce me, and that's because I'm a man!
