Past Story and Present Day

When l was born, I wanted to have a nice family. But I was wrong, I was born into a bad family. I always get beaten by them and I wanted to stop. But it can’t be stopped. My body is filled with wounds, scratches, cuts. It was very painful. I just wish this pain would stop. When I went to my first day of school, I thought l could meet new friends. But instead, I get bullied. I always get bullied almost every single day. I always think “why does everyone hate me? Is it because I look different?” I always think about this every day, and I can’t find the answer to why.

And it’s getting worse. My body is almost full of wounds, and I wish this wound would stop my pain. But it keeps filling up, and l can’t hold this pain anymore. When I was 12 years old, I want to end my life, I go to the kitchen and grab a knife. I want to end myself but, I can’t end myself because I’m scared, they’re worried about me. So, I thought, I’ll give it a second chance. If they didn’t change, then l would end myself.

At high school, I was thinking “I hope this school doesn’t like my old school, I hope we can get along.” When l enters the gate of the school. There’s a girl with blonde, black hair and she approach me. I was so scared she wanted to hurt me. But this girl just wanted to say “hello”. I thought she was going to hurt me, but she didn’t. She grabs my hand and tours me around the high school. This school big and my brain starts to melt because the school has many places to explore. The girl looks at me with a worried face.

“What’s wrong?” she says.

“Oh, I’m just feeling dizzy with the school. It’s having so many places to explore.” I speak.

“Yeah, it’s big in this school. But you will get used to it.” She says with a happy face.

Suddenly a boy approach to the girl

“Melisa, where have you been? I was looking for you about a hour.” He says with a tried face.

“Sorry Gepard.” She says with a sad face.

“It’s okey, please don’t do that again, Okey?” He speaks.

“Okey Gepard” she says, and she smiles.

I didn’t speak because I didn’t want to interrupt both.

Suddenly Gepard look at me

“Are you the new student?” He speaks.

“Um… Yeah, I’m new student.” I speak.

“Oh, well My Name’s Gepard, nice to meet you.” He speaks.

“Nice to meet you Gepard, My Name’s Elvin.” I speak

“Elvin? What a nice name.” He says and smiles at me.

“Elvin? What a cute name.” She says with a smile face.

I was shocked because I have never gotten compliments before.

“Did you say Cute!?” I say with a shocked face.

“Yes, It’s cute name.” She says while smiling.

“Not gonna lie, not just your name. your face too. It’s cute.” He speaks.

I was speechless when Melisa and Gepard said that My Name and My Face is cute.

Melisa and Gepard look at me with a worried face

“Elvin? Are you okey? You make us worried.” He speaks.

“Did I break him!? Elvin!?” She says and starts to panic.

Suddenly another boy came to check what’s going on.

“What’s going on here? Why both of you look worried?”

“We Broke Elvin, he didn’t speak anything since now.” Melisa says with a worried face.

“Elvin?” The boy looked confused, and he look at me, then he realized.

“ELVIN!?” The boy looks shocked.

Suddenly I realized the voice, I start to speak

“I know that voice…” I say with a shocked tone.

I look at him and realized

“REIN!?” I speak

The boy now realized, that’s his Old Friend.

“Yes, It’s me. Long time no see, Elvin.” He speaks.

I hug him so tightly, He hug me back

“Hehe, you really miss me. Did you?” He says with a happy face.

“Yes, I really miss you. Where have you been?” I say with a sad face.

Gepard start to speak

“Rein, Elvin is your old friend?” He says with a curious face.

Rein nods his head

“Yes, Since I meet him. He is a shy and quiet person. Everyone thinks he is a bad person. But he’s not. He kind and overprotective if you know him more.” He speaks.

Gepard look shocked and Melisa start to speak

“Why He so overprotective? Is that a necessary?” She speaks.

“He always like that, Elvin really overprotective because he cares.” He says while Elvin still hugs him tightly.

Gepard Speak

“That’s very kind of him.” He says and he smiles.

Suddenly, the school bell is ringing

“We should go to the classroom; the lesson was about to start.” Melisa says.

Everyone nodded their head and went their class….

After few hours, school is over

Everyone starts to walk out of the school gate

I was about to go out of the school gate. But Melisa calling me

“ELVIN! WAIT UP!”

I turned around and looked at her, she was exhausted running toward me.

“I have been calling you many times. But you still not listening.” She speaks.

“Sorry for that.” I speak.

She sighs and look back at me

“It’s okey Elvin.” She speaks.

“So, why are you calling me?” I say with a curious face.

“Gepard, Rein, and Me was wondering, if you want to hang out with us.” She speaks.

I was shocked, nobody asked me to hangout. It’s the first time I get to ask to hangout

“Sure, I would love to hang out with you guys.” I speak.

She looks excited when l accepts it

“Okey then, tomorrow at the park 8 a.m.” She speaks.

“Alright, l’ll be there.” I speak.

“I’m gonna go now, Bye.” She says and waves her hand.

“Goodbye, take care.” I say and wave her goodbye.

oOo

The Next Day, I woke up from my bed. I feel great, I go to the bathroom to take a shower. After that, l changed my clothes and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After I was done eating, my phone’s ringing in my pocket. I grabbed my phone and picked it up.

“Hello?” I speak.

The one who calls me is Melisa.

“Elvin, are you done yet? The three of us are waiting for you at outside of your house.” She speaks.

“I’m done, I’m coming out.” l says.

“Okey then.” She speaks.

I hung up the phone and went outside of my house, I opened the door and see the three of them are waiting for me.

“I’m ready.” I speak.

“Okey, let’s go.” She says and grabs my right hand.

She drags me to the park; I was shocked when she grabs my right hand

“Why are you dragging me? I can walk by myself.” I speak.

“I just want to drag you to the park.” She says and giggles.

Gepard and Rein are chuckle see Melisa dragging me to the park

I was so embrassed to see them chuckle and giggle at me

I look at Gepard and l see he holds his guitar.

“Gepard, are your guitarist?” I say with a curious face.

“Yes, I’m guitarist. I have play it since l was 10 years old.” He says and smiles.

“Can I listen you play it?” I ask.

“Of course,” he says and smiles.

I smiled and Gepard started playing his guitar. I listen to him play; he plays very well.

“You’re very good play the guitar.” I speak.

“Thanks” he says and smiles.

“Do you play instrument?” he asks.

Melisa is thinking the same thing

“Yes, I do play instrument.” I speak.

“What kind of instrument do you play?” He asks.

“I play the violin and piano.” I speak.

Gepard and Melisa are shocked that Elvin can play two instruments

“You can play the violin and piano!?” The two of them ask and are still shocked.

“Yes, I can play two instruments. I have play it since l was little.” I speak.

“Since l met him, he always practices his music skills, like the violin and the piano. He also sings while play it.” Rein says.

“You can sing while play the violin or the piano!?” Gepard asked.

Elvin nods his head

“I don’t know Elvin can sing while play the violin or the piano.” Melisa says.

“Hehe… now you know.” I say while chuckling.

After that, we will have fun at the park. At the evening, we got home.

“Today was fun, right?” Melisa asks.

They nod their head

“Yeah, today it was fun. I’m glad we can hang out together.” Gepard says while smiling.

“Me too.” Rein says.

They look at Elvin, who seems quiet suddenly. They’re look worried

“Hey, Elvin? Are you alright?” Gepard asked.

“Is something wrong, Elvin?” Melisa asks.

Elvin looks at them

“Huh? Oh… I’m alright.” I speak.

“Are you sure?” Gepard says, who still worries about him.

Elvin smile at them

“I’m sure, don’t worry about me.” He speaks.

Rein didn’t believe what Elvin said, he knows since both are kid.

“Elvin, I have known you since we were kids. You can’t lie to me, even your new friends.” He says with a serious face.

Elvin knows that Rein has been with him since they were kids. He was just afraid to tell the truth about his past. He doesn’t want to share his bad memories with them.

Elvin is still quiet, the three of them are getting worried. After fews minute, Rein speak.

“Elvin, you can’t hide your feeling from us.” He speaks.

“Just, tell us what’s wrong?” Gepard says.

“Please Elvin, we’re trying to help you.” Melisa says.

Elvin didn’t want to answer, his still scared to tell me.

The three of them noticed you feel scared, Melisa Walk closer to you, hold his hands and speak.

“Elvin, it’s okey to be scared. Don’t force yourself, we just worried about you.” She says while still holding his hands.

Rein and Gepard agree what Melisa say

Elvin feels calm a little and he speak

“Okey then, thanks for understanding my feeling. I’m appreciated.” He speak

They smile and go home

When I got home, I took a shower and sat on the bed and wrote in my diary about my everyday life.  I write:

“Dear Diary,
