I woke up lazily then took a quick cold shower. I just wore a plain grey oversized sweater and a beige skinny jeans with my white sneakers. I am not the type of girl that will put a lot of effort on my looks. I don't care what i look as long as i am not walking around n***d, I'm good. I just let my shoulder-length hair down because it's still wet and i don't have time to blow-dry it. I grabbed my backpack and headed to school.
8:45am
A big crowd of loud students welcomed me in front of registrar's office. I wonder where did they get that high-key energy early in the morning. I'm not even fully awake and my mind is still not totally sane at this hour.
I just sat beside a table away from those chaotic people and stared at an empty wall. I am still hungry because i only took a couple of bread earlier and i was rushing so that mom would not notice any of my scars and bruises. Glad most of my clothes are sweaters and hoodies so that i only have to cover parts of my shoulder and neck with minimum of five layer concealer. The number of students gradually decreased minutes later.
After i got my prospectus and time-table, i directly find my way into a cafeteria. I silently enjoyed my food. The cafeteria is almost empty for it is class hours and i am so glad about that. I hate being with loud people with nonsense talks. I barely even have enough time to think for my own thoughts so i don't need a nuisance bickering about things i obviously do not want to know.
I skipped my morning class, it is all just introducing ourselves, chitchatting and making new friends, how exciting. I just don't want to entertain people and that's a fact periodt.
I am really not a friendly person ever since i was young. They even think that i can't speak when I'm at grade school because i don't talk to anyone and I'm always alone at a corner minding my own business. What else can i do? This is the way I am and as far i remember i wasn't born to please anybody. If you want someone to be like this and that, better do it to yourself, god had given us separate lives to handle our lives individually.
The bell rang signaling that the morning classes are over. After i finished my food and gazing at nowhere, i decided to attend my afternoon class.
As expected, they asked us to introduce ourselves.
While they were busy introducing themselves, i just stared at the window beside me and clouded my mind with random thoughts. I still couldn't believe that i have this very unusual strength. Yes, i am not just strong but very strong. I find it weird but somehow i managed to make the most of it by fighting. I just discovered it lately it was like three weeks ago or so when i was in the middle of fighting a g**g of men and i was cornered and they beat me but something very strange happened to me. I was about to lose my hope to live because i was truly nearly beaten up to death and there's no one there to save me but something strange arises inside me like a sudden force that awakens and circulated in my whole body. The weird feeling of a strong energy that i don't even know where it came from.
The moment i tried to fight back, the guy suddenly flew meters away from me after i gave him a light punch. The other men were shocked and stared at each other then attacked me. I was very surprised when i almost had no energy left from the beating but just a single blow of my fist leaves a very big impact on them and even leaves them unconscious.
I've been doing small time fighting and i can only stand two men at the same time. My mom enrolled me at a self-defense training program so i learned how to fight. But since what happened on that strange day, i can manage to fight as many person as possible. I'm not that good at fighting and sometimes i also receives strong blows from my enemies but i can't be hurt that easily. It only leaves scars and marks but i don't feel any physical pain. It's not easy to control my strength because i have to lower the force of my punches up to 50% or less for them not to call it inhumane. How crazy is my full force punch can break majority of a human bones plus a free five meter airtime swing.
Sometimes i would think why do i have this ability? How did this happen and many more questions in my head but i just shrugged it off. Whoever gave this to me might take this back if i keep on complaining about it, i will just be grateful that i have this to help me for my fighting even though i might take the consequences soon.
''You, girl at the back! Come in front and introduce yourself''
-the prof said while pointing his pen at me.
My thoughts was interrupted. I stood and marched my way in front of the class.
''Adaere Cortez'' -i said in a bored tone. They looked at me and waited for a minute.
I'm really not planning on telling them my hobbies and motto in life and how did I get to fighting and what are my ambitions in life.
I looked at our professor who is also staring at me expecting me to add more of my introduction. The attention is on me and god knows how i really hate this feeling.
''Would you mind giving us more information about yourself miss?'' -the guy at the back shouted.
I almost rolled my eyes.
''I am 18 years old'' -i tried to make my voice as lively as possible not to offend them but i guess it didn't work. I heard some of them gasps and stares at me with 'is she serious' look. It's not my fault that i don't really want to share many information about myself is it?
The professor just shrugged and preceeded calling another student to introduce themselves.
I made my way back to my chair.
*fast forward*
I was heading home when i saw a group of guys were making fun of some kids in the dark part of the alley so i hid behind a wall and watched their show.
