*Rowan's POV*
The winter has come and to be honest I really hate it, the cold weather just makes everything dead and I'm not even gonna talk about catching a cold "Good morning Rowan! you leaving without me~?" I turned around to see my best best friend from childhood, her name is Larisa "Dunno what you're talking about" she giggles, to be honest we don't spend time together that often anymore which makes me a bit sad, we used to be together everywhere we went and now it's just gone.. well, I can't blame her after all she wants to be successful in her life "You have any plans for today Rowan?" "The usual, going to school, return from school, go to work, return from work, cook dinner, sleep, repeat" "That sounds stressful, why don't you try and relax huh? a break doesn't hurt~" "I don't have time for breaks, Larisa" "Come on! try and get a break from all of the stuff is going on okay? can you do that for me~?" she gave me puppy eyes and I sigh "I can't relax a bit, why can't you understand that? I live all alone! my parents just kicked me out, now I have to do the house chores, to study and work! I can't waste any time, it's extremely important" "Rowan, you have to enjoy life! you deserve a rest don't you think? why don't you try to walk around the woods? it's very relaxing~ plus it's winter! so it is even more relaxing" I sigh "Fine fine.. you win.. I'll try to relax" "We'll see about that"

After a while of walking a blizzard began to occur and that's the last thing I wanted, we entered the building and a crowd of people were.. watching something "What's the matter around here?" Larisa grabbed my hand and pulled me after her, she made her way through the crowd and once we had a proper view, we saw two guys beating the crap out of.. Jason.. Larisa's crush "Rowan! do something please!" I look at her and I could see tears running down her cheeks, I sigh deeply "You two, knock it off" they turned to me with anger in their eyes "What are you gonna do punk?" he pushed me but I push him harder "Looking for a fight? you want to die punk?!" I ran around him and hugged his belly then I suplex him on the floor, his spine sure broke "You little shit!" the other one punched my face and I fell on the floor "You think you're tough huh?" I quickly stand up and high kicked him, he instantly fell on the floor unconscious "Imbeciles.." people cheered on me and I look over Jason "You okay?" I hold an hand for him and he took it, I pull him up and he was a real mess "Thank you very much, I owe you" I nod and made my way to my classroom "How did he ended up in that fight anyway?"

At school was a disaster, after I saved Jason I was sent to the principal and he threaten me that I will be expelled and that he knew me as a good child and so on, to be honest I don't really care about getting expelled because I don't give a crap about school anymore, it's my final year but I can't afford going to an university so what's the point? after I finish high school I try to look for a decent job and I guess I'll be stuck working for 40-45 years from there on.. if my parents didn't left me I think I could've go to a university "Rowan" I turned around to see Larisa "What do you want?" "Are you.. okay?" "I'm fine, now if you excuse me I have to go to work, see ya tomorrow" "You're lying aren't you" "Can you stop acting like a damn mom to me? I just want to be alone at the moment" "You really need to relax.." "I do not" I spotted the building where I work to and I made a run for it "Rowan wait!" I didn't stopped and entered the building.
"Oh Rowan! the person who I wanted to talk to come here boy" I went to the counter and the manager was quite happy "So, you came for work don't you?" "Why else sir?" "Well.. sorry to disappoint you but I'm afraid we have to close this place due to winter" "What? no.. where am I suppose to work now?" "I'm sorry kiddo, you have to look for another job I guess but.. here's your pay" he gave me the money and I sighed, can't this day get any worse? "Thank you sir.. but when the winter is over can I work here again?" "Of course! we'll be waiting for you, now off you go" I went outside the building and I screamed inside of my head "Why does this day sucks so much?! now what's gonna happen? I'm gonna lose my home?" I sighed angrily and made my way home, hopefully nothing bad will happen.

I threw my schoolbag on the floor and collapsed on the couch "What am I supposed to do now? it's not even past evening and yet I'm home.. maybe cleaning the place? too lazy.." maybe I should try to relax.. like Larisa said, a break doesn't hurt anybody.. right? "I guess I'm gonna go for a walk another time, too lazy to stand up.. the couch is comfy though.. too comfy" my eyes slowly closed but I tried to stay awake "No, I don't need sleep, I need to clean the place for god's sake!" I stand up but my legs we're weak and I fall back on the couch "I guess I have to take a nap" I slowly closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
