The next morning, I woke up to the overly bright sunshine with a tired body and mind. I was exhausted since yesterday, and yet today I still had to go to school. If not because my sister provided the school fees for me, I wouldn't go there. Going there would just make me even more worn out.    Getting up from my bed, I unpeeled the patches of plaster while cringing in pain when the sticky parts of the plaster almost peeled off the clotted blood. I threw away the plasters and examined my wrist, it was not as bloody as yesterday, yet still throbbing and bruised from the unhealed cut. I took a quick shower, wore the school uniform and placed new plasters on my wrist before going off to school, checking on my mother one more time before embarking off.   The hallway was empty, and I walked through it while basking in the sunlight. It was sunny and too bright for my taste so I averted my gaze on the floor; I like the dim-lighted rooms better. As I passed through different classes, I was too busy thinking about what happened yesterday until I accidentally bumped onto someone's shoulder.    I glanced up and was shocked to find that the person that I had collided with is the same Chinese guy yesterday. His eyes had this mischievous look as if he saw another prey and when I tried to look for his name tag, it wasn't there. I'm afraid of what might happened if I didn't apologize, so I did it with a slight bow and a small 'sorry'. I stepped pass through him and was about to continue strolling to classroom when he suddenly tapped my shoulder. I turned around before he swiftly picked up the collar of my shirt and pushed me against the cold wall. I gritted my teeth in pain as my back collided with the hard wall and it became harder to breathe. The taller guy suddenly smirked before he softly hissed.   "Your expression doesn't show that you're apologizing"   I furrowed my eyebrows.    What? I did apologized!   I wanted to say that words out loud, but my lips were tightly sealed as I kept quiet staring at the floor. I can't face this anymore.    It's occurring again.   He suddenly lifted up my chin and observed my face. I was sick and disgusted of meeting people like him that upon meeting his face and his snarky grin, I wanted really badly to wipe of his smirk. His eyes accentuates everything; the playful, mischievous and the character of a bully. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my foot and when I glanced down, his right foot was on mine. I clenched my teeth in pain when he twist his heel, applying pressure and his weight on it.   When the students started to come in little by little, the taller guy then released the grip on my collar before muttering words under his breath.   "We'll see later, poker-face....Xiumin"   He pressed harshly on my name tag before walking off, and I held my chest, trying to breathe as properly as I could. The  pain on the feet was not there anymore and I sighed in relief. When I managed to actually stand, I picked up my weak legs and moved towards the classroom.    'It's okay, it's okay.' I kept chanting in my head, countlessly until I'm calm enough to walk properly. As I walked, suddenly I felt an arm wrapped on my shoulder. I quickly turned around and found the joyful Luhan clinging onto me.    "Xiuminnn~ how are you today?" He asked in a sing song voice but as soon as he saw my pale face, his face turned grim. "You seemed like you had seen a ghost. Is everything alright?"   'No'  "Yes" I nodded briefly. He looked at me, seemed unsatisfied with the answer but just shrugged it off.        --------       The class as usual, is boring. I don't see any point in learning when I don't even feel like continuing my life in despair. Why should I learn when there is nothing to learn?   I sighed as I stared at the wild birds flying outside, freedom and uncaged. How I longed to be free of the past, to just forget everything that had happened like the birds soaring through the winds.    As I turned my head back at the front, the guy in front me glanced at the back. I don't really remember his name, and it seemed like he wanted to ask me something.   Wait, why I didn't saw him yesterday? I thought the seat in front of me was empty....   "Okay everyone, I will leave you guys here for a while because I had something to do. Do your homework and please don't waste your time" the math teacher said as he glanced on his watch and walked out of the room. The guy infront of me then turned around his chair, showed his toothy smile and greeted me.    "Oh hello there, what's your na
