Well. Hello, Thursday morning. I sat up on my bed. It was peaceful in here. I looked outside the window. the tress were blooming and the leaves were falling to the ground in a slow motion. I sigh with a smile on my face. The good news, I get to spend the night with my best friend, Miwaho, yay! Dinner break at the restaurant with my friend! Girls rule! Girl party! Yas! Oh - but don't get too excited just yet! Oh no no no! I have the bad news coming up for ya that will ruin my life. Ruin my life. Ha! The bad news is starting in 3... 2... 1! Ok, bad news. Hi me. Have to face new tough life at darn school. Ugh! I hate my new life! I hate myself! Darn it! Oh, stop it, Turquoise! Not even blaming yourself can help you with being a better badass. Anyway, didn't do much this morning. Just did the usuals and yeah. Oh - and sorry for all the drama, yesterday. I was a little bit upset. Yesterday was a huge dramatic day! OMG!!! Anyway, I was walking to school today on the sidewalk. I was going to take the bus because my legs were tired but I'm like nope! You don't deserve it, girl! Not even when you were told off yesterday for being a daydreamer and given extra homework. So, just have to walk, then. And to be honest, my legs are tired and I'm already exhausted. Finally, when I reached the school entrance, I checked my watch that was on my wrist. I don't know why. And, woohoo! 8:50am! Nice timing! In fact, this might actually be the first time I was here early! Or it was my first good thing I did at school. Well, possibly. Haha! I was walking in the school hallways when suddenly, I heard screaming. "Ohh, ditched! Haha!" I turned around and saw a boy pointing at a poor girl, who was indeed crying by now. Oh dear. At least that never happened to me. Good job, girl. Ohh! I was starting to become like that boy - I guess. But then, when I saw the young girl crying, my smile faded. I felt truly bad for her. So after the boy walked away, I walked over to the crying girl and knelt next to her. "I'm so sorry," I started. "NO! Don't be! Now go, please! Just leave me alone. I deserved it!" the young girl sobbed so uncontrollably that she fell to the ground. It was like as if she could almost stop breathing though it was much serious than that. "It's ok. I won't harm you. I'm shy like you too. My name is Turquoise. What's yours?" I asked her in a gentle voice. I sounded like a princess though I wanted to be a princess. It has always been my dream! The girl suddenly calmed down. "My name?" she asked me. "Oh, m - my name is Lily." Lily?!! Now that name sounded like a name fit for a princess. "Lily? Wow, that's such a beautiful name. Now I got to go. See you sometime soon, Lily. It was nice meeting you," I said as I walked away. "Goodbye, Turquoise. See you very soon!" Lily shouted back to me. I smiled as I walked to my first class. Of course - it was history. To top things off, I have a test today which I know sounds weird since it is the beginning of a term but you know me. I moved during the second half of Term 2. So, technically, I was a bit behind schedules and class subjects. Darn it. "Morning, students!" shouted the teacher. Her voice was so deep that it boomed across the whole entire classroom and hurt our ears super bad. Now, remember what happened in science. This time, I won't make the same mistake again. So, we all shouted, "Morning, Ms Huffy!" Phew. At least I didn't make the same mistake again. This time, our voices were even louder than the teacher and our loud voices hurt the teacher's ears so badly that she had to cover them up with her hands! "As you all know, today we have a test to do. Always remember to try your best. If you give up on a question, come back to it later and do the rest you know. Remember, this is a test. Do not ask any questions unless it doesn't involve telling the answer. Also, please do not flip over the sheet until I say so. Now, Jessica and Shaun. Please hand out the test sheets to the whole entire class. Remember the rules I just explained as you wait for your test sheet to be handed out. Also, no talking while a test is in progress, understand?" the teacher explained the rules super carefully that we all said, "Yes, Ms Huffy!" again with the loud, booming voice that hurt the teacher's ears really badly. "Perfect! Begin as you have your test sheet in front of you. Remember, this is a 50 minute test. No talking please until everyone has finished," the teacher spoke, clearly. As soon as the test began, my hands were on each side of my face. OMG! I know that I'm gonna have trouble focusing on this test. I just know it! So, I tried my best. But as every minute passed, I couldn't even start on even one single question! I remember my old friends and my old town and my old life. I even remembered the old friendships I would share with my old friends back at my old town. But I wanted more now. I really wanted more. I couldn't do this. I struggled so much that the teacher didn't let me leave the classroom until I have finished the test. It was as if I was stuck in detention. Finally, it was recess and as I quickly went to the teacher's desk to hand the test in, I recognised two things. One, I was all alone. And two, the teacher was nowhere to be seen! It was probably because I finished the test during recess and then she had to go to a meeting! I even missed my second class! I slowly walked away from my history class. But - the good news is that the rest of the day went really well. I stopping caring for myself and let myself go. When I got home from school today, I felt a ringing sound in my pocket. I wonder who it could be. I grabbed out my phone from my pocket and - it was Miwaho! I pressed the answer button straight away. "Hello?" I asked into the phone. I waited for a moment and suddenly, I heard Miwaho's voice on the phone. "Hey, Turquoise. Dinner starts at 6:00pm - in about less than two hours. Hurry up, girl! Don't be late! Also, we're meeting up at Firewood Peckers. Meet you there!" "I won't be late, I promise," I spoke to her one last time and hung off. Oh yeah. That will sound fantastic. I was so excited to finally meet my old friend once again. It been like months now since I saw her again. but now, it is a Thursday so, why not? Yes! Easter break! Oh, yeah! I was being a crazy drama queen now. Except, I don't have a crown because I am not royal. Oh well. By the time it was 5:00pm, I immediately realised that I had to take a shower before I go out to eat dinner with Miwaho. Besides, I didn't want to be all dirty and stinky when I arrive at Firewood Peckers, right?!! Ok. This might actually sound weird but I wear a swimsuit whilst bathing every time because I don't want anyone including myself to see my own breasts. When I shower, I always keep the water hot because it's always cold outside and - to top things off, today is autumn. It's literally autumn. And by autumn, I mean the season is autumn. I love this season so much because when it's autumn, we used to go out to the park next to our old neighbourhood and we would take pics of our feet in the bright, orange leaves. And now, autumn ends up being my least favourite season because we moved. So now, it's changed to Summer but to be honest, autumn is still a pretty good season. But today, as I showered, I was checking on the base of my feet and I was shocked when I saw that my skin came out of my feet and ripped apart. Plus, tiny droplets of cold water would sprinkle down on my head. Now, folks this is the first time that I showered inside my new house, so I don't know what to expect those god - damns bathrooms. Soon, I was freezing and by the way, I watched the Disney movie, Frozen and literally, it was cold outside my window cause I forgot to shut it down so - I nearly froze to death during the end of the movie but now, things do work out as planned really, right?!! When I got out of the water, my feet were itching me out and I was freezing to death like an ice monster or something. Soon, I found a cupboard and opened it. Inside was - a relief. It was a hairdryer. Phew. What a relief. A sensational relief. At least I won't be screaming to my parents to buy me a new hairdryer. Let me guess, somebody used to own this place? Hmm. I might need to continue thinking for a couple of months. Years even. Finally, I was ready to go to the restaurant my friend told me about. For dinner. I hope my parents don't get mad at me and wonder where on earth I was again. Please, Earth. Help me. I took one deep breath and was about to step out of the door when suddenly, I heard a voice behind me. "Hey, Turquoise!" It was granny! OMG! What does she need now? I run up to her. "You forgot your cap. You took it off after school and left it in the kitchen. Don't forget next time!" Grandma laughed at me like I was a really dramatic person - yet again. "Yeah, yeah. I know, grandma," I sighed as I was about to leave the house. "Anyways, have fun out at dinner tonight, sweetie!" Grandma yelled behind me. "I will. I promise!" I called out to her, this time with a smile on my face as I slammed the door shut. As I was walking to the restaurant, I bumped into - the same man I met when I was kidnapped?!! I turned back and tried to escape but I couldn't. He was grabbing my hand like a boyfriend would do. As if he was - no. It can't be. I remember a flashback come into my mind. I gasped.

When I woke up again, I found myself in a dark room. Oh no! Where was I? Where were my parents? I was so scared! I didn't know where I was or how far I was away from my parents! Was I about to get captured?!! No. I couldn't be. Just then, I heard a door creek and in the middle, I saw a figure walking towards me. I was so afraid! I felt tears sting to my eyes and I wanted to scream aloud again but it would sound totally weird if I do that. The figure I saw was a man in a hoodie and he was holding - a knife?!! I knew I had to run. So I did. I also realised that when the man took off the black hoodie, he was naked! However, I did not turn back. I just ran because he was chasing me like crazy! I ran till there was no escape. OH NO! It was a dead end! I'm definitely dead by now. The man pinned me against the wall and as I was about to scream as loud as I could through my tears, to my biggest surprise, he dropped his knife to the ground. He then knelt beside me and started crying. "Oh no! What have I done? I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to. I don't know what has gotten into me!" he sobbed. I was so shocked! What was going on? I couldn't take this anymore! No. I digress. I will not fall for this! I immediately smacked the crying man on the face and ran away in tears.

I also remembered what happened yesterday and yet again, the flashback came into my mind.

Soon, as I sat down on a bench, a familiar man suddenly showed up in front of me. It was the familiar hot guy who tried to kidnap me! I was so shocked when I saw him in front of me. What on earth was he doing at my school? About to make me take an autograph?!! Well. I sighed before agreeing with what he has to say. Wait - was he going to apologise for what happened two days ago?!! Nah uh! No way that is happening! I smacked him right in the face again, this time really hard and it made his face hurt so much that blood popped on his face. Yuck! OMG! I don't want to get a disease today! No thank you! I ran away from him as fast as I could back to the girl's bathroom and returned crying.

WHAT?!! I only abused him twice and now, this would be the third time?!! No! I can't do it! I won't fall for this crazy man who tried to kill me last time. This is so crazy! He tried as hard as he could but no matter how hard he tries, it won't phase me. Nah uh! So instead, I did what I did last time but this time, I smacked him twice which made his face hurt completely. I then turned back and was ready to run again. I ran without remembering what I just did again - until to my surprise, I finally reached Firewood Peckers. Now all I have to do is find Miwaho.
