Episode 1: Look alive

All I could hear were shouts telling me to stop, students below me screaming my name desperately,, but I couldn't do anything about it. Here I was on the school rooftop knocking on the death door. I absolutely hate it when my body moves on its own without me having control over it. It was constantly causing me trouble and when it stops what do I tell people, I can't just tell them that "oh no my body was moving on its own" as if anyone would believe it will just be adding spice to the trouble,,, so I kept this to myself. I wasn't always like this, it all began when I was 10 (by the way I'm 16) I don't know the cause of it tho. This would happen when I feel certain emotions such as anger, sadness, annoyance or if I'm irritated, so I try to keep a calm demeanor as much as possible. I tried my best to not be known or popular but looks like I failed thanks to my mother giving me good looks and my father giving me a brain so yeah I'm your typical main character with brains and beauty live with it.

My legs reached the edge of the roof, and I was about to jump off I felt a strong grip pull me back and that immediately gave me control on my body again. I looked over to that it was my childhood friend Sia, and she wasn't happy. I heard cheers as I was pulled back from the roof, taking me downstairs. She didn't say anything, but I just knew that she was pissed or sad, maybe both, but she was definitely not happy I wouldn't blame her, I literally almost killed myself.

"I know you are not happy about this, but I have totally logical reason and..." Before I could even finish I felt my cheeks burn as Sia slapped me across my face. We stopped walking, and she kept her head down after the slap. We just stood at the staircase in uncomfortable silence.

"I don't understand" She said as her voice cracked and it made my heart arch. "I really don't understand why you were planning on dying..." She said as her tears fell and my expression softened

"Listen Sia..."

"No I just don't get it! You have a perfect life, a loving family, you've never been bullied, and you're smart so WHY WERE YOU PLANNING TO LEAVE US LIKE THIS?! Why were you planning to leave me? Your family?" Sia said as tears streamed down her face and I just felt extremely guilty. What do I even tell her, I have no excuse. I guess I'll just risk it all and tell her the truth, but where do I even start?

"Um... S-sia...there is something I've been hiding from everyone..." I paused a little to see if she was willing to listen to me. She just wiped her tears and looked at me and I took that as a yes.

"So um... I can't control my body sometimes" I said as I avoided her gaze and I heard a bitter humorless laugh that just clenched my heart. I knew it, I shouldn't have told her.

"What do you mean you can't control your body sometimes? Is this some kind of joke? Is this what you're treating situation? As a DAMN joke?" She said as she created distance from herself and me. She touched her forehead with her hand but as I was about to explain a bunch of teachers and students came. They crowded me, and I was trying to make my was to Sia, but they kept asking me questions and blocking my way. Some of them even carried me and took me away from the place leading me to the nurse's office, this is another reason why I wanted to avoid being popular.
