The stars were upon me as I walked out of the dirty, smelly vent. Freedom, finally! Ah! The nice friendly neighbourhood welcomed me into the dark streets. I was all alone. I rushed back home and rang the doorbell. Ding dong! Waiting for an answer, I leaned against the wall. Suddenly, the door opened and I immediately recognised that it was my parents! I rushed to embrace them but soon as I hugged them, they realised that I was all stinky and smelly. "Oh, sweetie! Since when did you start getting all stinky and smelly?" my mother asked me in confusion and of course, she covered her nose and mouth. This question made me gasp. I couldn't respond. I could barely breathe! I could barely answer that question! "I - um. I," I shivered whilst making a really bad start. I was so scared. My heart couldn't stop beating! As if a million pieces of my heart started shattering, all in one go! My parents were confused and worried about my safety! Soon, my heart sank and tears filled my eyes. My whole entire face went completely red and my forehead was sweating badly. Finally, through my tears, I told them my story. "S - so, I was invited to this pizza restaurant with m - my best f - friend Miwaho! And then, w - we sat down to order o - our food. After we did, I went to seven eleven to buy some stuff. And when I did, I realised that m - my wallet was stolen by somebody and w - when I tried to look for it, I realised that I was s - stuck in this horrible store! And then I leaned against a dirty old wall to cry! B - but as I did, I saw a crowbar that lead me to a v - vent maze! Again I was stuck with a huge mouse that tried to eat me b - but didn't and instead, set me free a - and now, here I am, stuck in this unfortunate situation without any dinner! Please, I need protection! I don't want to get stuck in awful places again! Please, I swear to God, please fix me!" I cried as hard as I could as my parents rushed to me and together, we bounded with a warm family hug. I smiled through my tears. I was so happy to be back with my parents again, safe and sound!

A day later...

Adam's POV:

Dear, Diary. My name is Adam. Today was Friday and I woke up, shirtless - of course. Being a hot sexy guy is not easy. Sometimes, I could become a businessman and so many girls would surround me. I feel popular. Dang it! I should not have said that out loud. I was super awkward, shy and really bad at flirting but, you know, I'm just your average teenager. This morning, I was at my gym, safe and sound and I was doing the pull ups when suddenly, there came a knock on the door. I stopped and opened the door to see who it was. Of course, it was my master, Wasabi. I didn't know why my master had that name. In fact, if I did, I would still not be interested so master, just to let you know that no offence but you can suck on that if you'd like. "Adam, just to let you know that I have rescheduled your piano lessons to 5:00pm today. If you'd like, I could bring you some coffee," Wasabi started. He was really good at mastering I'm not gonna lie. "Gee, thanks Wasabi. Also, no need for coffee today. I'm having a mental breakdown here" I replied to Wasabi as I was doing the pull up bars. I was sweating like crazy! This day couldn't get any worse! I mean, it could if I get into trouble. But like I said today was Friday so technically, I had school today. Oh, god. With my response, Wasabi slipped away. By the time he was gone, I stopped doing the pull up bars and I smiled. I was just in time to get to my computer and do a new livestream on Fortnite. By the way, if you guys don't know, I was a Youtuber other than playing the piano and training. In fact, to top things off, I had more than a million subscribers! OMG!!! I was so popular! Yeah! I ROCK!!! I checked my watch. It was 8:30am. Quickly, I ended the livestream that was still running and immediately ran to school. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed is that literally all the girls were crowding me and in less than about a minute, I felt uncomfortable getting squished. Well, at least I got out in like about two minutes later but I was still suffering. As soon as I finished listening to a song on Spotify, the bell rang and I smirked. Looks like school is about to start.
