I opened my eyes slowly, to see the same scene. Pitch black. I could see nothing but a mirror at the other side of the room. Finally, i decided to walk towards the mirror. Slowly, i couldn't go any faster. I looked into a mirror. It was just me. In the silence. In my own world. You'd think I'd like it, after all those times I've been manipulated, judged, worried. But, i hate it here. Its lonley. Its quiet. No ones here, to be happy. No ones here. I look back into the mirror. This time i see people behind me.
"Mum? Dad?" I say. I hear them calling out my name. "Tatsu...." they repeated. I looked back to see them actually standing there. "Mum! Dad!" I shout, attempting to run from them. But i can't run. I can't get to them. It feels like they're getting further. I try to run again, but nothing. I feel myself fall to my knees onto the ground. Someone puts their hand on my shoulder.
Then i open my eyes, to see my foster mom looking down worridley at me. "Tatsu? Are you okay?" She says in a soft voice. I nodd, until my realisation that i am sweating. My foster mom takes me into a hug, and whispers, "Don't worry Tats... it was only a dream."
I feel myself relax. My heart beat goes from, dangerously fast to calm and soft. I lay back down from my sitting position. "Come on, Tats. I may love you, but you still need to go to school." My foster mom smirked at me. I let out a small groan. She pulled the blankets off me, forcing me to get up. "Your so lucky that i love you..." i mutter.
I head down stairs past my foster Dads study. I look in to see him on the computer. Writing a new book probably. robably means I'll get to do the cover soon. Woop! Anyway, i head towards the kitchen and pull out a bowl from under the kitchen sink. I head to get a spoon, but the milk, spoon and coco-pops are already on the table, in my spot. "Thanks Dad!" I yell to my foster dad, knowing well my mom would never do this. I devoured my breakfast and ran up stairs to brush my teeth and get dressed. I opened my closet, looking around for what to wear. I grabbed my favourite cropped purple sweater and threw on my high waisted jeans.
"Goodbye Tats!" I heard my foster parents yell from they're studies, as i headed out the door. I put on my cat ear headphones and connected it to my phone.
As i approached the school i saw Leila, who was wearing really cute peace sign crop top and ripped jeans. I smiled over to her and waved. She smiled back at me and gave a small smile. Ian walked passed me and was clearly trying to avoid eye contact with me, so i let him be.
I walked into first period, English. My favourite subject. The only subject i stay high alert in.... Mrs. Bounty came into the class and smiled her smile at us. "Welcome back class! I hope you enjoyed summer break!" She beamed. I was so glad Mrs. Bounty was this years english teacher. Shes an amazing teacher.
I heard a sad sigh in the back of the class. I looked behind to see Etgar looking down at his desk, tracing his finger around his desk, in circles. He looked up at me, and i quickly looked away. Hiding my face from the girl next to me, Amina. After class i rushed to 2nd period. Didn't want to be late, or bump into Etgar, after that akward moment. Well, it was akward for me... i sat down, choosing of the seats at the back. I looked out the window, next to me. I sighed. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Excuse me?" I said, confused. "Thats my seat." The girl said coldly to me. "The seats-" i was interrupted by her cold voice once again, "Get out of my seat." She said. I quickly sprang from the seat and moved to the other side of the class, with no words coming out. I jeard the girl laugh and mutter something. I looked over at the girl again. She was definitely a 9th year...
Why me?
