I open my eyes.
sat on the window seat since yesterday my eyes sore and puffy and my nose is still runny.
I must have fallen asleep..
The sharp pain returns once I recall what happened yesterday.
" Ha..! " , I hug my legs tight hoping to ease the pain , suddenly I hear a knock on the door and the maid walks in " food is ready kiddo ,cmon , Ur father's waiting downstairs"
I look at her.. for a second I imagined it might be mom..
" I'm..not hungry.. " she looks at me and her eyes widen , perhaps it's my puffy look or messy hair or cloth that has shockened her but she hesitates for a second before returning her way closing the door after her.
Am I pathetic for hoping she'd come and give me a hug..? Haha.. ha..
A week passes
I was sitting in my room looking out of the window When the maid comes in " your father is asking for you in his office " I look at her "okay.." I reply then hop down from the window seat and walk down with her to my dad's office.
I knock on the door, I have made this mistake once and did not knock and I ended up being punished.
"Come in Taehwyan "
I open the door and walk into the room not facing my father.
But I can tell ,He was going through the papers which were on his desk from where the sound of papers ruffling coming from.
" You'll start school again tomorrow "
...
I don't want to ..
He grabs the cigarettes pack from his desk and takes one and lighten it up.
I cough from the smoke coming out of it.
" O-okay.."
I turn to leave but.
"Taehwyan." I hear his firm ,dark and harsh voice But his tone was harsher than before calling my name sending shivers down my spine.
Wait but What'd I do..
"Yes..?" I turn to look at him.
He looks as scary as ever with his blackish hair and dark eyes.
" Did I tell you to leave?." It was a question but it sounded more like-..
He walks towards me with the cigarette in his hand.
Then he stops Infront of me
"Tae.."
"Y-yes..?" I look at him eyes widen , scared..? No.. I was terrified.
He take the cigarette and press it against my arm not with pressure but enough to feel the sting against my skin , I flinch muffling a sound ,tears forming in my eyes ,widen .
" Next time, you don't do shit until I say so. "
I keep my eyes fixated on the ground tears streaming down my mouth and a gasp escapes my mouth , I can feel his gaze piercing through me.
" Leave. " He says and I immediately storm outside the room going upstairs, I can feel the maids eyes on me.
They probably think I look pathetic.
The next morning I woke up and got ready to go to school , went downstairs and stepped outside to see the driver waiting for me with one of my dad's cars .
My dad was rich , he had everything , he'd always get anything he wants.
I get in the car and the driver follows me in ,sitting on the driver's seat.
I look out of the window looking at the sky, purple , blue , yellow and a little bit pink , I always loved the smell of early mornings, my mom would have loved to see this sight .
we reached the school.
I get out and enter the school.
It was already class time so I went up the stairs to my class right away.
I look for my class Left and right until I find it.
I knock the door and I hear them from outside
" Who is knocking the door hahah " ...
" Come in " I hear the teacher say and so I stepped in.
I see a women standing ,as I walk I hear the teacher sa " Hey , what's your name ? "
" Eh? "
I turn to her .
"..Tae.. "
" You don't need to knock dear ,next time just come in " ...
I smile and go and sit in my seat .
She is kind.
I look next to me to see a black curly haired kid.
But I quickly look away before he could notice I was looking at him.
ever since I changed schools I never got to have any friends..my mom said..
I take all the courage I have and pour it in the sentence I was about to say.
I was never the type to talk to strangers nor ever ask them for something especially not that.
" Can.." I let out those three letters and the kid looks at me.
" Can we be friends.? " The kid looks at me and smiles with an awkward smile but then he replies " sure.."
