"So... now. Show me what you brought" here we go...

I showed my father the costume I bought without the accessories of course, it's a surprise...

He looked at the costume and seemed to think throughly. He scratched his head before talking

"Well... it's seems you found something proper... I never thought you could actually found something acceptable when you didn't even order to have a tailored suit. And you didn't even asked for my money...

It's weird but I have no proofs that you are planning something bad. Just don't make problem and go back to your room"

Ooff- I got scared for a second...

He really didn't seemed to be convinced I was able to not cause any problem...

Anyway.. I sighed and went to my room.

I jumped on my bed

What was I gonna do? I can go take a bath but I don't really want to...

Maybe drawing? I don't have the motivation

I can't have a room for myself to play any instrument...

I can't disturb Abele just because I'm annoyed

We don't even have a pet

I don't have any siblings or friend to play with

I'm not hungry

I'm tired of walking because of today

I know that I'm just lazy but it feels great to be lazy...

I turned and turned on my bed. I didn't know what to do and I didn't want to do anything either.

I got up

I should maybe read...

...Sunday passed...

I'm trying to eat to fastest possible.

I'm so inconfortable when I have to eat at the same table as my 'family'

They are so awkward, they don't even talk

I took my last bite and gave my dish to Abele. She took it to the kitchen and I went to brush my teeth.

As always, I was tired. I didn't want to go to school. I just wanted to sleep

...at school...

I sighed

We have a business exam today.

I have the sheet in front of me.

I take my pencil and start writing the answer.

Some questions were more easy than other and some longer to do but they were all the same for me.

All made from the things we didn't even study!! It's all hypotheticals questions but it seems... easy...

All the answers from these questions come into my head like nothing...

As I'm reading the questions the answers pop in my head. I never even thought about these scenarios but here I am knowing what I would do without hesitation.

I watch other student in the room. Some are confortable and answer as if they were asked their name.

And other just look at their sheet with a worried expression.

Am I doing something wrong? Why is it so easy... does the exam have traps and I fell in these traps?

I took a quick glance at the answer I wrote. It all seemed correct...

Maybe I am overthinking?

Yea... probably that

I continued

Or... is it just because I'm actually a genius in this...

Yea no... It's just my capacity to learn fast. Or being able to remember easily what I learned in my class. Or the fact that I study almost everyday? Or all at the same time?

Am I stupid or am I dumb? I just have to concentrate myself on the exam!

I will have the time to overthink after the exam!

I continued to answer. I made sure to check on my answers. And the moment I hate the most came ...

Having to fake my incompetence

I just chose the most stupids errors I replaced my answers by them.

Of course I knew that even without the fact that I'm faking I would still have errors on my own but my grade would be hella suspicious for the teacher.

She already has suspicions on me since I changed drastically from personality and my grades are improving. I can't make her doubt about me more than that...

After some min, The bell rang and I got up to hand over the exam to my teacher.

The teacher seemed surprised to see my sheet not completely white and gave a little comment that I definitely heard correctly

"Look like you filled your sheet with something this time. Let's hope it won't finish like the story of your life, like a failure."

I wanted to replied but I knew it would change nothing

I just continued to walk while I heard some people behind me giggling at the 'joke' of the teacher.

It's now the time to go to history. I am not really sure but I think we will be talking about the war of Malindria.

It will be so boring... and I will just have to take note all the class...

Before that I will have to go to the bathroom. I went there and when I finished, I saw someone.

It was just his hair but I was sure of it. It was the weird boy.

When I'm thinking about it... I never saw him in the school.

Without even thinking much about it, I started running after him. When I finally got where he was... he was not here anymore

Well? Did I just hallucinated?

No. I'm sure he was there. So... how did he disappeared like that?

Am I that excited to see him again? I hope not.. it make me sound like a dog excited to meet his master...

Well... that's really weird. Anyway I have to go to history I can't be late.

...

"General Mariachi Shomaner is the one who led the 10 900 soldiers to the other side. Madul Ovares Monami the first was the king at the time, was the one who ......"..........

I was trying to take notes but the teacher was talking way too fast! And I can't even try to remember what is their names and title...

Ugh! That's why I hate learning about political problems and wars...

I was so tired of listening... I tried listening more but the teacher was just repeating what he said with different words.

It was so tempting! The pencil in my hand...the sheet with a place to draw... the boring class...

The universe wanted me to draw!

Sorry teacher! I just can't continue to listen to you and anyway I think I have a book at home that explain in details what happened in this battle. I will read it if I really need to.

I started by some eyes. They were my favorite to draw. Then hands.

At the beginning I was struggling so much to draw hands but when I finally was able to know how to draw them, I felt like a god and I couldn't stop drawing them!

Ahh- It feels great to remember these memories...'

I continue with a little cat. More like littles cats... some really easy to do and other hyperrealistic .

I love cat

I drew a house. Landscapes and people. With different position.

And without I even noticed it, I filled the space I had..

Oops- I can't take notes anymore.

I erased some of my drawings. But some lines of pencil wouldn't want to be erased. I put too much pressure....

I just continued to listen to the class

...at the lunchtime...

I headed to the place I usually go to lunch.

I'm happy that I'm going to see him. It's always so fun to be with him.

I was heading toward outside when I felt a big bump.

I fell and hit a part of my back on the corner of a wall. It hurt so bad! I had difficulty to move for a second. I saw a group of people passing just laughing at what happened.

I wanted to cry but I couldn't let that satisfaction to the one who pushed me. It took me some time before being able to walk correctly.

I was sure I had a big red in my back.

I finally reached the outside and went to the place we usually go to.

I waited like 20 min before he arrived here

"Ah- sorry! I'm late! I hope you didn't wait too much!" He seemed really worried I would be mad about it

"What are you even talking about!? I'm waiting here for just 2 min!" I didn't wanted to make him worry

For a small time, I thought seeing him with a sad look on his face but it rapidly changed to a silly face

"Fiou- at least you didn't wait there for too long! It reassures me"

We just continued to talk

This time he didn't even tried to steal my food. I made sure to asked Abele to make the double...

Maybe he's just not hungry right now.

We talked about our class this morning and even with the pain in my back I had an everyday face.

I don't really understand why he did that but he suddenly pointed something with his finger behind me. I wanted to know what he was pointing so I turned but it was such a bad error to do... the pain the torsion of my back did to my wound really made it worse.

I wasn't able to stop a 'outch-' from my mouth and my hand sliding to my wound

"What is it? Are you hurt?" Oh no... he doesn't have to know I'm hurt

"Don't worry. It's just a back pain. " he watched with a serious face

He doesn't believe me does he.

He approached toward me and I retreated.

I don't even understand how but... he made me not able to move in a position where my back was vulnerable to his view.

"It-it's just a back pain don't worry.." I tried to convinced him one last time

He pulled up my shirt and now my back was completely visible to him.

"What is this red mark?" He asked, serious

"I fell from my chair haha- "

"If it was something like that you wouldn't have lied to me about it. Now tell me, who did this to you"

"Dont' worry it's just that I was too embarrassed to tell you it but I really did fell from my chair" I was trying to make it sound like not important

He started touching the wound. And the skin around it.

My back was contracting

"Wait- it hurt. Please stop"

"I won't stop until you tell me who they are" he touched a part were there was a nerve.

"Ah- ok!ok! I'll tell you so stop please! I don't even know them. They probably didn't even made it on purpose!"

I just lied a litttllleee bit

He sighed

"Don't try to make it sounds as if it was nothing. If ,by Thursday it's not healed. I will take care of it by myself"

Uh-?

"O-ok... "
