Looking around, the town from down below was quiet today. No loud honking, no loud construction going on, just the sounds of the birds chirping and the rustling of the cool breeze swaying the trees ever so gently.
And the sound of my own quiet weeping.
The tears flowing down my damp cheeks as I clenched my crumbled paper filled with the most disappointing sight according to my parent's expectations. I can't bear to stay around anymore.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid." The thought echoed through my head as the pounding of my hands on it allowed it to boom louder. Gritting my teeth so hard that my teeth felt like it was ready to fall off and my whole body aches for comfort.
Yet, I wanted to scream to the whole world how much I hated myself and how I wanted to disappear so bad, but at the same time, no one is gonna give a fuck about it. So I just sat there silently as reality was sinking in me, that no one would really care about me.
No one, since I wouldn't even care about myself.
Head hanging low, I just accepted the fact even though it hurts a lot. Yet, there's nothing I can do about it.
"Looks like you're here too."
My head turned so fast to the calming voice, and my eyes widen to find him standing a few meters away from the blooming cherry blossom tree. I wiped my eyes dry and hid the crumbled paper behind my back, pretending as if nothing happened. I couldn't bear seeing him eye to eye for the embarrassment of him seeing me in this condition.
Yet, all he did was look out to the view and stepped forward a bit. Picking up a small dandelion, he softly blew and all the pollen seeds flew away towards the town.
"What did you wish?" Sniffing a bit, I walked up towards him.
He turned to me with a weak smile.
"I wished that one day, you will learn to love yourself."

The story is coming out soon (depending if I procrastinate or not). Stay tuned.
