❥ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐧𝐞 | A Fresh Start

The sound of birds chirping and leaves bustling in the wind was heard as I made my way down the semi-busy street.

I just moved into a new apartment after transferring to a new school, so I decided to walk around my new neighborhood just so I could get use to my new surroundings.

Why did I decide to transfer to a new school? Well, I just wanted a fresh start. A new beginning.. I wanted to leave my old memories behind and start anew.

Anyways, as I made my way down to the much busier part of the street, I couldn't help but notice a guy get punched in his face while the crowd around him just watched.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

A poor guy was getting bullied in the middle of the street and yet all people did was watch and record with their phones.

I quickly made my way through the crowd and immediately stood in front of the stranger before the other guy could lay another hand on him.

"Hey.. don't you think you're taking this a little too far? I mean, I'm sure what he did was just an accident, right?" I calmly said, trying to make this situation somehow disappear but failed miserably.

It seems what I said to the guy went in one ear and out of the other since he then tried to punch me, though I dodged due to my quick reflexes.

I sighed.

At this rate, I was going to end up fighting the guy, and that is something that I wanted to avoid at all costs.

Just as I was about to say something, the girl he was with grabbed him arm.

"Zack stop! You said that you wouldn't fight if I went out with you today!" She shouted, instantly making the guy stop whatever he was about to do.

I look out at the crowd, to which they immediately dispersed.

As the girl and the guy whose name is Zack walked away, she turned around and mouthed 'I'm sorry' to which I just smiled.

I then turn around and face the guy who got punched, who was looking up at me with wide eyes.

I smiled again, making sure it was an extra gentle one at that.

"Hey, are you okay? Do you need anything?" I say in a kind tone, kneeling down a bit so that I can look at him a bit closer.

I couldn't help but chuckle light heartedly when he blushed, he looked adorable.

Yes, adorable. I don't discriminate, I love everyone. All shapes, sizes, shades, etc.

Sometimes, I wish more people were like me, there's too many bad things in this world to worried about how someone looks.

To me, what matters most is how they are on the inside rather than the outside.

"Erm, I-I'm fine.. Th-Thanks by the way.." He mumbled nervously.

I smile, glad to see that he wasn't hurt.

Well, I wasn't so sure that he wasn't hurt but I could tell that he didn't want to show it, so I didn't pry.

"My name is M/n L/n! What's your name?"

He was hesitant at first but he eventually mumbled, "D-Daniel.. Park."

"Ah well, it was really nice to meet you Daniel! I have to go but I hope we can meet again sometime! Byebye!" I exclaimed happily before walking away, to which I could hear him shouting a goodbye to me.

I don't know why, but I felt like I was going to run into him again really soon.

Later that night, Daniel POV

My hand trembled as I stared at the phone screen, terrified with what I was seeing.

It was me, being punched by that Zack guy. I was trending all over Facebook!

'Oh my god.. I wanna die!' I thought as I cried.

All of the confidence and determination I had disappeared just like that. I had tried so hard to gather all of that, actually wanting and hoping to change my life around..

There was nothing but mockery on my phone.. I had no friends.. my little nest was now filled with nothing but loneliness.

'I'm here! I'm human too! I'm here!' I thought as I continued to sob, bawling my eyes out until I passed out from exhaustion.

While I was sleeping though, I remembered something.

"Hey.. don't you think you're taking this a little too far? I mean, I'm sure what he did was just an accident, right?"

'That guy.. he was nice.'

A few hours later

'Ah.. I guess I nodded off.'  I thought as I stood up.

I quickly made my way to the bathroom.

But.. something felt off.

'After a bit of sleep I feel lighter..' 

I then began to do my business while looking up at the ceiling.

'Was the ceiling always this low? I guess I'm not used to it here. Sink looks lower too.. Maybe my eyes are swollen from crying?' 

I turn on the sink, beginning to wash my hands.

'How swollen are they? My eyes were not as swollen as I thought. They seem perfectly fine. So how should I explain this?'

I then freeze as I look at a reflection in the mirror that is not my own.

I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, I couldn't make a sound.

I couldn't barely make out a word.

A few seconds go by before a confused 'huh?' finally leaves my lips.

I stumble back, away from the mirror and out of the bathroom onto the floor.

'What is this? A dream? My body? But it hurts..'

Confusion and doubt suddenly poured out.

'Should I call the police? 911? Nope, first mom!'

While dealing with the utter shock and panic alone, I saw something else even more shocking.

My eyes widened even more at the sight in front of me.

There was 'me', still sleeping.
