After few more hours, *alarm sound*. I flinched when I heard the alarm bell. *yawn* I switched off the alarm. I was very tired so I'm about to go to sleep for once again but when I remembered today is the day that my bar owner is gonna come I woke up from my bed like a spring.
I checked my time. It's 6.00 AM, which means I still have a lot of time for my class. I got up from my bed and brushed my teeth and I took a shower while doing the laundry too.
I am ready for the day. I heard my mom calling to me, so I went down to have my breakfast. After I finished my breakfast, my mom said, "be careful on your way".
I don't know why my mom suddenly said to me like this because my mom's expressions were not good as it's filled with worries. I can't read her mind though. She was smiling with the pain. I wonder why! But how can I be so calm after seeing this?
"It's okay mom but why are you so worried?" I asked my mom. "Nothing Ash, I don't know but I feel something bad gonna happen", She said with a worried face.
I hugged her and I said, " Nothing will happen to me mom. How can anything happen to me when I'm loved by you this much?". She nodded and hugged me back.
I was about to wear my shoes but then I found out that it's already damaged a little in the corner of the shoes. I guess it's due to yesterday's incident with my classmates.
I sighed in the morning itself. How can I wear these to my job?. I didn't show it out to my mom. I said, "bye mom! Love ya" And I left.
In the class,
When I was about to open my class door, a bucket full of water suddenly poured on me. That's when I realised they set up a bucket full of water in the door. Everyone laughed at me.
But one guy didn't even react to anything. Seeing that guy I remembered the guy who I bumped into yesterday. I guess it's him but I'm not sure though.
I gave a death stare to whoever was laughing at me. They stared at each other as if they didn't do anything to me and they pretended like they were doing work all of a sudden.
I got irritated and my shirt is wet. I just closed the door and I went to the terrace. I noticed that no one was there. I clearly watched it, I guess. "Please God! I want to be alone", I said to myself.
I think there is no one. I went to the corner of the terrace. I placed my hands in those metal holders. My Wet hair and wet shirt made me so freezy with those amazing breezes.
I closed my eyes. Soon one drop of tear fell down from my eyes. Thanks to the water because it can't be seen outside as I was soaked wet.
"It's just my second day, how am I going to finish my schooling here?" I thought. I sighed deeply. I really want to cry badly. I want to shout it out but I'm afraid they will see me. I can't show my weakness outside here. I placed my head in my hands which were already in those metal holders. I lied down and cried silently so that no one could notice me.
Before I stood up my head I wiped my tears in my shirt though it was wet. I took a deep breath. "How am I supposed to attend my class when I'm this wet? Alas!"
I slowly messed up my wet hair so that it can dry soon. I opened my shirt buttons and I removed my wet shirt. I drained the water in the shirt by squeezing it a little and I brushed the cloth well.
Soon I wore it because I was shirtless. I calmed myself down but when I heard footsteps getting near me I got scared a little. I prepared to fight with that person but I want to hide. So I hid myself very well in the corner because it was covered with some unwanted stuff.
I was waiting for them to go out soon. They didn't even change the place where they were standing from the start. I sighed at them. I hid there itself. I felt so sleepy, slowly my eyes closed in that gentle breeze.
After the school gets over,
*yawns* I slowly opened my eyes. When I look outside it's almost getting dark. "Oh my holy gosh! It's already past school time" I said aloud while checking my watch for the time.
I was about to run from there that's when I realised EVEN MY SHOES ARE *UCKING WET!!!. I don't know what to do but do I have any choice?
I ran from there to my home. I slowly tiptoed to my room. I thought my mom didn't notice me but it's not. My mom asked me,
"Why are you late today? Are you alright? You don't look good?". So many questions?. " Sorry mom, it's nothing I just walked without paying attention that's why I'm like this". As I said I scratched my head unconsciously.
I hope my mom believes me. Thank god! She believed me as she said, "okay please be more careful". I nodded at her and I quickly went to my room.
I soon took a shower and I changed my clothing to go to the bar where I was working. I saw myself in the mirror, "Good! Now Rain is ready for the job", I said to myself and I got down to go.
And when I got near my shoes I remembered my shoe was already damaged and soaked but it's new. I exclaimed.
"Good shoes will take you to a good place" My mom said behind me while smiling.
