The Collision of Sunny And Atlas

"Life sucks!" I shouted Life must really be unfair. I never wished to be in this world yet I carry every s**t with me. I wanted to release my anger. I keep cursing until I feel better. I'm currently in the woods near our house. I live far away from the city. But living here isn't that bad. The only thing that makes it bad is my father. He abused me, physically and mentally. I never wanted to be born in the first place. But he keeps telling me that I shouldn't have been born and that I'm evil. My mother died because of me.She died shortly after I was born, so I can't really defend myself to my father. Maybe because it's true, I killed her. My father chased me because I was out late at night yesterday. Well, I have work, but he doesn't know. He'd steal my salary if I told him. I'm working hard for it so I can use it for my studies, so I won't tell him. I work as a part-time employee in a convenience store nearby. I love selling products. It gives me joy to see people buy from me. I hope one day I'll become a successful business owner. Well, for now, I need to hurry and go to work. I need to find a way out of the woods and go to the convenience store as fast as I can. Or else I'll get fired. My boss is a little jerk sometimes. 1 minute late and you're fired. I rushed over, seeing my boss at the counter calling someone. Is it me? I don't have my phone with me. He glanced at me and sighed. "SUNNY! Where the f**k have you been? You're late, AGAIN! It's not like you're studying to be late for work. All you do is to fool around and make everyone miserable." There he is again, spitting nonsense. But I don't really give a s**t about everything he says. He's one of my haters due to the fact that I'm always late and he will threaten me that he will fire me. Well, he did fire me once. My boss hates me as much as my father does. Well, her daughter got suspended and lost her academic excellence because of me. Well, she bullied me, and the teacher saw her. Then my boss fired me, but his daughter told him to rehire me, and they made me work three times harder. But it's really okay because I need money. even if it's unfair. Well, life is really unfair. This is the story of my life, where everyone hates me or bullies me. I do have a friend. Her name is Nyx. Everyone loves her because she's very pretty. I love her too, but sometimes jealousy makes us uncomfortable, so I can't really open up about my problems to her. And sometimes I thought she wasn't really my friend and she might be using me to gain an upper hand so they could bully me. It's really hard to trust someone, especially when she or he is very different from you. --------- I was walking down the corridor when Nyx shouted my name. Everyone gave me a stare. A deadly stare, as if I did something to Nyx that made her friends with me. I actually never wanted this attention. The more attention I have, the more chaos will happen after "How have you been, Sun? You didn't pick up my call last night," she uttered. I never knew who called me last night. Well, my phone died. Not from a low battery, but it really died. My father crushed it to death after seeing my phone. "You b***h! How dare you buy this kind of s**t? Where did you get the money? Did you steal it again? How dare you? You don't deserve any of this; you don't deserve anything! " Remembering those words makes me ill. I don't know why my father hates me so much. I get it, he's drunk, but every day it gets worse. My father used to be a well-known engineer in our town. How did I know? from my aunt Fleur Canfield, who's very successful. And she pays for my school fees. Without my father knowing, She also asked me to leave my father and just live with her. But still, he's my father no matter how many slaps or punches I gets. He's still my father. Nyx stared at me like I'd done something wrong. Both of us are standing in the middle of the school corridor while everyone is staring at us. She noticed that I felt uncomfortable about the other students staring, so she pulled me outside the school. "What happened? Are you okay? Tell me, Sun, you can trust me. I promise "her words comfort me. It may be the first time I heard someone asking what happened or asking me if I'm okay. I looked into her eyes and saw sincerity and sadness. Maybe I was wrong in judging her too early. What if she really wants to be friends with me? As I stare into her lovely green eyes, I can't help but to cry. "I'm sorry," I said as I hugged her. "I'm really sorry, Nyx. I judged you easily. I thought you were trying to be friends with me so you could bully me" and she laughed. "Why would I do that? Are you dumb?" I nod and we both laugh. "So what happened?" And I ended up telling her everything. About my father, my bruises, and my job. She was devastated by what I told her. And because of that, we ended up cutting. We spent the day at the public market. She told me she'd pay up, so I didn't need to worry about a single penny. It makes me shy. I got out from a dressing room seeing Nyx. She's wearing a crop top and fitted jeans. She has small, pretty green eyes, a perfect nose, straight blonde hair, and a slim face . She's really pretty; she's almost perfect. I remembered my mother; we both had big blue eyes, heart-shaped lips, and curly pinkish brown hair. My aunt told me I look just like her when she was young. We bought everything; croptops, make-up, and I bought myself a new phone from the savings I have. Nyx told me to stop wearing those soon to be rug clothes of mine. Well, I got it from a donation when I was a little. A huge storm broke our home and they gave us clothes that I wear for school. We both watched the sun go down, and we rushed over to the convenience store. "Do you want to eat something?" Don't worry, it's on me. But I'm sorry I don't get to treat you to a nice meal, "I told her and she laughed. "Are you really that dumb?" "There's no need to do it but that ramen would work." she uttered while pouting at me. We both laughed I can say this is one of the best day of my life. I have someone who is there for me and makes me feel loved. Nyx left early because her father kept calling her. And me? I need to go to a bookstore nearby. My grades are falling. I need to graduate from high school at least. As I walked near the bookshop, I saw my father shouting. Holding a beer, of course he always drinks. It's his water "f**k you all of you!" He keep shouting his ass out like a crazy man who escaped from a psycho ward I hid somewhere near the bookstore where the trash bins are. And walk backwards and suddenly stepped on someone's toes. "f**k" A loud curse from someone in my back. His voice is kind of familiar, though. I faced him to say sorry, but I was shocked when I saw who it was, "Wtf Sun-" I covered his mouth. It was Atlas Woodson, the basketball captain of our school.
