Chapter 2 : What's truly in my mind

Growing up, I have longed to live life filled with bright colors and endless  sights. It's just that it was also sooner that  I realized that life iis far from what I have imagined.

"Ms. Rory Kim? I have your test result in. Notice this little bend...."

I was sitting on this chair inside this cold unfamiliar room filled with unfamiliar things. Inside the room is my mother standing behind me. In front of me is the doctor.

"Scoliosis, huh" I said. "So, I need to receive treatmeants?" I asked my mom.

"Opertation" She said.

"You could've just said yes" I said.

At the age of 15 I discovered this heart-breaking news.

...

I continue my studies knowing I have this illness. To me, it was just an information that I needed to know, it doesn't seem to bother my physicals endeavors at school.

"Medical report says she's been diagnosed with scoliosis! So why the h*ck is there a patient with a bended-spine on the back able to  participate in sports?!"

I can hear someone yelling outside, by the sound of his tone, I can bet he's the school's dean.

"Rory... are you okay? your parents are on their way here. Why did you hid that crucial information?" Mimi asked me.

"So... do you think i'm out of the  team?" I asked her back. This is so bad, I always wanted to be a volleyball player.

"Why are you even asking that in this situation?" Mimi sounded concerned.

"Hahahahaha stop that, it doesn't even hurt a little" I said.

Mimi without any hesitation came to me and smack me in the head. *SMACK

"Ow! What was that for?" I cry.

"That's for lying. you suddenly fainted mid-game: fell straight-flat on your back while your nose was bucket-bleeding, and dare say "it doesn't hurt?!" Mimi said.

"Uuuu... that sounds so embarassing, was there a lot of people though?" I asked.

I know that in this situation, I wasn't supposed to feel rest-assured. I know that there is a bad news on its way.

"Hey, do you want to know what's in my mind right now?" I said.

Mimi look at me confused.

"That I might be living life on a very thin line, that I might lose all the things I love, that I might die without even having a boyfriend, that I might be a loser for the rest of my llife" I said.

"What are you even thinking about?! First, no one's dying, and second, that's because you rejected  Alex in 8th grade. Hahahaha" Mimi said.

We both laugh and memories suddenly started to rose. My thoughts were suddenly filled with those moments.

...

*DOOR SLAMS-OPEN!

"Rory!? Are you okay?!" My mom came bursting the door open. Without early notice, Mimi and I almost died from the sudden burst.

"Mom~ our soul almost left our bodies" I jokingly said.

"This is no time to joke around young lady. I can't seem to control this behavior of yours, I now talked with our distant relatives, your uncle Louie will be taking care of you" Mom said.

Again, without any early nottice. I was bombarded by the suddenn decision.

"But mom!"

"No buts, my decision is final, this weekend you will be taking your flight to your uncle Louie's place. Suzette will be there to get you"

Real thoughts? I can't even ride buses anywhere around the city I grew up in, taking flights  to a new place? that sounds so absurd. Plus, new people, new crowd, new house, everything will be new. how am I supposeed to act?!
