On the next day, I start waking up as my alarm rings at a very reasonable hour, 6 AM. I groan as I struggle to get up from my comfortable bed but i eventually gain the strength to do so, after which I start having a staring contest with the wall as I realise that today is another day of school.

I snap out of it after a bit and start doing my daily preparations, I start by stretching for at most 5 minutes and proceed to workout for a few hours (Minutes).

Littered with sweat I Realise I don't smell nice and so I decide to take a cold shower... In December... In any case I later come running out of the shower.

Why would I torture myself like this you ask? For the benefits, in general I try to keep fit, I'm not like one of those guys who actively tries to bulk (Jake) but I am consistent with my workout plan which DOES include taking cold showers.

Anyways! After I dry my self off and dress up nicely, I go downstairs to my kitchen, unfortunately no-one else is here or awake at this time, my mom works early and comes back at noon while my dad starts work in the early afternoon and comes back really late at night. Yeah, it does become a little lonely at these hours but on the bright side, I have now learned how to cook!

I start thinking about what I want to eat and I settle for the classic eggs and sausage. As I start eating my food, I think back to the first time I tried to cook.

FlashBack to more than a year ago

Mom: "Hey Y/n Honey?"

Y/n: "Yes mom?"

Mom: "As you know, we've been having some financial problems and... It's been kind of hard to live with only F/n providing for us, so I've decided that I will get a job."

Y/n "Yeah I remember when you told me about that, what about it?"

Mom: "You see, since I work in the early morning, I won't be able to cook you breakfast like usual, and as you know your father is really tired when he comes back from work, so he wouldn't be able to get up that early and cook for you, so I decided to buy you this cookbook so you can start cooking for yourself!"

Y/n: "aww but mom! Your cooking's the best! I haven't even touched a pan before!"

Mom: "That's why I bought you this cookbook honey! Eventually you'll become even better at cooking than me! I guarantee it!"

Y/n: "I doubt that mom, nothing comes close to your cooking but I'm up for that challenge!"

Mom: "That's my boy! Now go to sleep, you have school tomorrow!"

Y/n: "Fineee, goodnight mom."

Mom: "Goodnight Y/n!"

*The Next Day*

Y/n: "Okay, according to this book, I have to turn on the cooker, done! I have to put the pan on one of the "eyes", easy! Now to put butter in the pan all spread out, some oil... I think I put too much... Nahhh what could go wrong? Now to crack the egg... Perfect! I'm already a master at this! Now all that's left is to turn on the heat!"

Y/n: "FUCK FUCK FUCK!"

The pan unsurprisingly caught on fire.
The fire alarm starts to ring.

Y/n: "It's okay, I can fix this, I can-"

Some of the oil spews out from the pan and lands on my arm, I react as any other human being would and I accidentally slam my arm on the HANDLE of the pan causing it and EVERYTHING inside to go flying.

Dad: "WHAT THE FUCK IS ALL THIS NOICE!?"

Dad then sees the fire and the mess I have created as I prepare myself for the whopping of a lifetime.

Dad: "OH YOU LITTLE SHIT, ONCE I EXTINGUISH THIS FIRE, YOU'RE NEXT!"

End Of FlashBack

Y/n: *Chuckles* Good times... *Flinch*

After I finished my food, I got my backpack, I grabbed my walkman and I started walking to school.

I deciding that I wanted to listen to some music, I take the headphones my walkman came with, I pressed play and immediately one of my favourite songs played.

"Never hunger, never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure!"🎶

"Struggle within, triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends!"🎶

As I was listening to my music, again out of the corner of my eye, I see that mysterious black fog again, it might've been because it was still pretty early and the sun wasn't completely out yet or because I wasn't exactly completely awake yet, but I swear it started to expand.

But again, once I turned my head to look at it, it vanished.

I was paranoid, it looked like this fog was following me around and the disappearances near and inside my neighbourhood did not comfort me one bit.

I still thought that I might've been hallucinating it, the nightmares I've been experiencing because of my anxiety have not been helping, but for now I choose to ignore it and begin to walk faster.

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia! 🎶

I finally arrive at school, still being semi- on-guard.

Usually, this would be the time friends would meet up, tell jokes and hang out, but unfortunately I had no such luxury, it wasn't because I was weird, ugly, creepy or any of the sort, It was more so because I am an introvert, I prefer to stay by myself, the closest person I had to a friend was this girl that was always on the school track, she was a good person.

I first met her when I was being insulted by Jake, she stood up for me when everyone else didn't. Though I didn't mind the insults I appreciated her attempt to help me, I would have liked to repay her but unfortunately she went missing not too long after.

Bell: RINGGGGGGG

The bell snaps me out of my thoughts as it rings to signify the start of class.

The school day goes as normal up until the 3rd class, as I was paying attention to what the teacher was saying, I felt the room suddenly become way colder, it seems like I was the only one who felt the shift in temperature as noone else reacted in any way.

As I started to wonder why this was happening, what I thought was following me since yesterday started to appear right in front of me! The corners of the class started to be covered in thin black fog that started to thicken yet noone else reacted in any way, was I the only one seeing any of this? I am actually hallucinating? No, why would only I feel the colder atmosphere here?

At this point I was starting to freak out inside, I quickly asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom and I speed-walked out of the classroom.

Once I got out of that room the temperature suddenly went back to normal, no way was I hallucinating this anymore, this black fog is following me around, there was no doubt about it now.

I start pondering, what could it want? Is it the reason I felt that coldness yesterday? So many damn questions and no answers!

Y/n: "I think I'll skip classes and go on a walk for now to clear my mind."

In the next period, I take my school bag and without saying anything, I leave the school premises.
