Don't Hold Your Breath
Vanessa's p.o.v:
* the sound of an alarm ringing
" Ughhhh.." Vanessa sighed as she turned of the alarm. Right after she turned off her alarm, she takes her smartphone which is beside her pillow. She checked if there's any messages left by her mother because her mother always left early for work.
" Van, I've cooked some bacon and eggs for you. Don't forgot to eat them, sweetie. Ohh!! Don't miss your bus again, okayy??" As soon as she saw the message, she replied it with "Yupp".
Vanessa woke up from her bed and take a quick shower. After she finished, she put on her school uniform and look at the mirror. An unhealthy face that has dry skin peeling and full of pimples. She sighed and styled her hair with ponytail hairstyle. She grabs her backpack and her glasses before leaving the room. Before leaving, in a fast pace, she stuffed the bacon into her mouth and almost forgot to lock her door house. She ran as fast as she could so that she can catch the bus that almost leave the bus stop. Fortunately, this time she got on the bus.
As soon as she ride on the bus, almost everyone in the bus stared at her and whispering to each other.
" Isn't that Vanessa?? Pffttt.. As hideous as always..( laugh)".), Student 1 said. " What do you expect of her?? Even if she's the only girl in this world, no one want her!!" Student 2 laughed right after he finished his words.
Vanessa bowed down her head and in a hurry to find a seat. But what's she not expected, a boy deliberately took out his leg and make Vanessa accidentally bumped into it and fell. She want to cry but she hold her tear and pretended that there's nothing happened back then. She quickly take the seat near the bus's window.
'It's okay, Van. Things like these always happens, you should get used to it.' Vanessa thought while looking at the scenery.
After several minutes, the bus have arrived in front if the school. The passengers get off one by one and walk to the school's entrance. As Vanessa is the last person who get off from the bus, she walks all by herself to get into the school.
"St.Cecilia High School, Alaska (it's a fictional school)", a prestigious school where the students have brought many victories whether it's academic or sports competitions. A school that looks perfect in the eyes of the public. Even the cost of the school's uniform is a lot to pay for, not to mention, a lot of rich kids studied here, so there's quite a small number of student got into here for scholarship and Vanessa is one of them.
As soon as she entered the classroom, a bucket of water spilled over her head. But Vanessa can't fight them as she didn't want to got a worse treatment, she didn't bring a spare uniform as she only has one set of it. She quickly take her seat and started drawing on her sketchbook. Vanessa got a talent for sketching but there's no one pay attention to her talent as they thought that Vanessa is a useless person. After a few minutes, the school bell rings and the learning session begins.
Few hours later..
*School bell rings
' Finally, I can get home now.. Ughh, I'm so tired..Hmmm, should I stop by the convenience store to buy some snacks?'
While she's thinking about what to do after school, she accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh,sorry.." Vanessa said as soon as she gained her balance.
"......." * anonymous person* just glared at her and retracted his view from her. He just walked pass her and no longer seen in the crowd of people.
'Hmmm.. what a weird person. Forget it! I think I will stop by the convenience store after this.'
After a few minutes, she finally arrived and entered the convenience store. She took some potato chips, ice cream and a bottle of water.When she goes to the counter to pay for the snacks, she almost bumped into someone but luckily she stopped herself.When she raises her head, she saw the same face of the person she bumped into previously. The same glare which is directed to her but she respond it with a glare and turned her head to quickly pay up for her snacks. But the *anonymous person* cuts the line and said that he's the first arrived there before her.
"But..but.. It's so clear that I'm the one who arrived first and lined up first." But the person just ignored her and exited the store. After Vanessa had done with her payment, she quickly exited the convenience store but can't find the guy anywhere. So she just let the matter pass and goes to the bus stop.
After she arrived at her home, she took out her keys and unlocked the door house. She put down her backpack on the sofa and sit on the other side of the sofa. While she eating her snacks, she remembered about the same guy she bumped into in the front school and in the convenience store. As she remembered the guy's face, she can't help but to smile as he's a very good looking person even if he didn't smile. But she suddenly remembered the incidents she faced today and the emotions on her face changed so quick.
'I don't know what is the reason that made me deserve such treatment. It's not my fault that I was born like this. Whatever I tried to do, no one wants to defend me. I don't even have a friend. Hahaha.. such a sad life I've been through. This kind of life.. will I live it till the day my soul leave this body?? Even if I would live like this, I want to be happy just once before I die'
