Monday at school:

Ryo is hiding in a bathroom stall.

"Where in the hell did she find that picture of me," I say staring at the screen on my phone. I screen in my head trying not to cry. I stare at the screenshot and tears fill up my eyes. I stare at my 10-year-old face staring back at me and I want to die.

The picture was taken a long time ago at a kid's camp. I was young, uncoordinated and a little dirty. But who cares I was a kid. I was still trying to figure out what works for me, what looks good and what doesn't.

Who wasn't at that time?

I look at the picture again and I start to cry. The whole school has been passing this picture of me around. They started laughing when I walked onto the school grounds. They were pointing and whispering who knows what. And then Kelly sent it to me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I thought this picture didn't exist anymore. I thought it was erased from the face of the earth. But here it is today haunting me.

My hair in the picture is a mess

    "Hey," Oliver says when I step out of the bathroom. I look down the hallway ready to see a million pairs of staring at me but there's no one there. There's only him and Kelly. "Hey?" I say looking at him. He smiles and I feel my eyes welling up. I take in a deep breath and let it out slowly. I am panicking. Is this where he breaks up with me? Is this where he breaks my heart? I can't imagine how hurt I am going to be if he tells me it's over. "Do you want to get out of here?" He asks smiling. I look around us wondering if he means me. And not forgetting the fact that we have to go to class. We can't just skip school. "We can't just disappear," I say and he nods. "Yes, we are." He says and he turns to look at Kelly. "She'll call you later." He says and Kelly nods looking at me. Oliver takes my hand and leads me towards the back of the school, toward the school hall. We walk past a few classes, and I half close my eyes terrified. I've never skipped school before. I feel like we are

    Oliver guides me to the top of the hill and when I look down my heart beats faster. I look at him and then I look back at the view in front of us. I didn't know that this existed here. All I can see in front of me is yellow daisies. A carpet of amazing flowers."This is amazing," I say walking down the hill. I open my palms wide when I get to the first flower. I smile feeling so happy. "Why didn't I know this was here?" I ask looking back at him."You haven't been skipping school so..." He says playfully. I smile turning back around."Well, I'm glad I did today," I say sitting down in a less dense area. Oliver comes and sits in front of me. He stretches his legs out and he leans back on his elbows looking at me."It feels good to see you happy again." He says staring at me. I frown thinking about the disaster he walked me out of. I wish that was a dream and not the truth. Trust my life to get messed up just as everything was

    "Ry." I hear my mother call out to me as she walks up the stairs and towards my bedroom door. "Honey," She says and she opens my door. I listen to the sound of her feet walk towards my bed and I hold my breath as she places he hand on my back."Are you coming down for dinner?" She says her voice soft. I let the breath I'm holding go and the tears start falling. "What's going on honey?" She asks when sees my body shake from the held-in cries."I..." I say and choke up. I try to calm my nerves but the tears keep falling. I can't get the words out."Baby you're scaring me. Talk to mommy." She says and I can hear the fear in her voice. She's probably thinking the worst happened to me right now. Since I can't say what's going on, I choose to show her. I take my phone and hand it to her. "Oh, honey." She says when she sees the picture. She knows how insecure about the picture I am. I begged them to throw it away when I was younger. They tried to convince me th

    "Hi," Jameson says when I open my front door. He smiles and then he opens his mouth to say something. I stand still and wait to hear what he has to say. I can imagine he has a lot to say about the picture. I don't want to hear what he has to say but I won't stop him. Jameson is a good guy and I know he won't say anything to hurt my feelingsAnd I can't be mad at him. He's not the one that turned me into a joke."Am I early?" He says and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding."Yep," I say stepping aside to let him walk in."That's cool." He says as I close the door. "This way," I say leading him to my mother's plant room."Wow!" He says his voice getting so loud. I look at him shocked at the emotion he just displayed. I sometimes forget how beautiful this place is because I live here. But every time someone new sees it I am reminded of its beauty. "Oliver told me about this place but my imagination coul

    It's about 30 minutes after everyone and we're sitting comfortably on the floor in my mother's flower room. Since Oliver and I's he doesn't want to sit anywhere else but this floor. He loves it in here."So I thought we should go over the assignment together again," Kelly says looking at me encouragingly. We haven't spoken since I had my freakout in the school toilets earlier today. I'm a hundred per cent sure that she's dying to know how I'm doing. "I know we've made a lot of progress with the essay. I think we should give it another read and see if there's anything we want to change or if are we leaving everything as is and just add the conclusion and then we will be ready to submit." She says looking from Oliver to Jameson."Okay. That makes sense." Jameson says and Oliver nods in agreement. Kelly opens her laptop and she starts reading what we've written so far. "Our world in black and white," Kelly says reading the title

    For the first time in months, I feel like myself. That incident with Marlene brought me back to reality. She reminded me of who I was before I started dating Oliver. She reminded me how much I loved the simple things. How much I loved going to work. How I loved being invisible. I love being in my own world. I loved that I didn't pretend to be someone else to be liked by others. As a matter of fact, I didn't care what other people thought of me. I had a solid idea of who I was. I didn't need people to clap for me, I didn't need anyone to tell me that I am beautiful. My father taught me that the opinions of other people don't matter. He taught me to stand tall and stand by what I say and what I do. He would remind me every day that the world would try to break me. All I had to do was be true to myself and I would survive. When Oliver and I started dating I got swept up by the whimsy of the moment. I forgot who I was. Suddenly I cared way too much what people that were looking at him

    I walk into Ms Swan's class and everyone stares at me. I stand up tall and look at all of them with my chin up in the air. I'm not afraid of any of them. They can stare at me all they want. There's nothing they'll do or say that will hurt me any further. I walk to my seat and sit down. I can feel everyone's eyes on me. The room is deathly silent. I bet they were expecting me to cower, and hide myself. I won't be doing that anymore. Anyone that has something to say to me must face me head-on. They must confront me. I don't care. "Okay, class. Please settle down" Ms Swan says and everyone sits down. "I wanted to remind you that there are two days left before your due date for our assignment." She says and murmurs erupt in the class. "I don't want to hear it. You had enough time to prepare. You were working in groups. So whatever excuse you have. Save it!" She says her voice stern. "What if we need more time. You know to make sure that we..." "I don't want to hear anything about ex

    As I head back to my room, the cozy feeling from the movie night fades, replaced by a growing sense of dread. I know Savannah won't let this slide. I try to shake off the anxiety, reminding myself that it's not a crime to talk to someone, but deep down, I know this will be more complicated than that.When I reach my dorm room, I take a deep breath, preparing for the confrontation I know is coming. Just as I turn the doorknob, I hear the unmistakable click of heels behind me. I turn slowly to see Savannah, her arms crossed and her expression as icy as ever."Marlene," she says, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "Do you have a minute?"I nod, feeling my heart rate quicken. "Sure, Savannah. What's up?"She steps closer, invading my personal space. "What do you think you’re doing with Adrian?" Her tone is low, but the threat is clear.I take a step back, trying to create some distance. "We were just watching the movie. It’s not a big deal.""Not a big deal?" Savannah repeats, her e

    It's movie night and every student in the dorms is summoned to come and watch. I would rather be sleeping right now but the headmistress made it clear that we have to be here. The common room is buzzing with excitement. The lights are dimmed, and the scent of popcorn fills the air. Students are chattering as they find seats, some on the couches, others on the floor, creating a cozy, makeshift theater.I choose a quiet corner, my back against the wall and a thick blanket draped over my shoulders. I prefer this spot for its unobtrusiveness, allowing me to watch without being the center of attention. As the opening credits roll, I relaxed slightly, hoping to blend into the background.But my hopes are dashed when Adrian walks in, his presence immediately drawing the attention of the room. He scans the area, his eyes quickly finding me. With a confident stride, he makes his way towards me, carrying a bag of popcorn and two sodas."Mind if I join you?" he asks,

    The sun filters through the café windows, casting a warm glow over the bustling breakfast crowd. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries fills the air as Oliver and I walk in, hand in hand. We spot Jameson and Kelly at a cozy corner booth, already settled with cups of steaming coffee and plates of pancakes."Look who finally decided to show up!" Jameson calls out, a wide grin spreading across his face as he waves us over.Oliver laughs, sliding into the booth next to him. "Good morning to you too, Jameson. Ready to celebrate?"Kelly pushes a plate of assorted pastries toward us, her smile warm. "Absolutely. Congratulations on the A in your English assignment. You guys really earned it.""Thanks, Kelly," I say, taking a croissant. "It feels good to see our hard work pay off."We dive into breakfast, laughter and chatter filling the air. It's moments like these that remind me of the importance of friendship, of having people who cheer for your successes and stand by you th

    "Forever," I murmur, my lips still tingling from our kiss. Oliver pulls back slightly, his eyes searching mine with an intensity that makes my heart skip a beat. We both laugh, a mixture of relief and joy filling the small space of his car."I have another question," Oliver says, his voice softer now. He glances at his phone, then back at me. "What’s your biggest dream?"I pause, letting the weight of his question settle in. The sunset paints his face in warm hues, making his eyes sparkle. "My biggest dream?" I echo, pondering. "I think it’s to travel the world. To see places I’ve only read about, experience different cultures, and find inspiration in the beauty of our planet. And…" I hesitate, then smile. "To do it with you."Oliver’s face lights up, and he takes my hand, squeezing it gently. "I love that. I want that too." He looks out at the lake, then back at me. "Imagine us, years from now, looking back on this moment. Knowing we had the courage to dream big and chase those dream

    "That went well," Oliver says sitting next to me in the driver's seat of his car. I nod looking at the amazing view in front of us. We found a new spot to chill and have our epic question dates. And today is a very special one. "I should say, I think she loves you more than me." He says and I laugh shaking my head disagreeing with him.She was nice to me but she will never feel that way about me."I'm glad you agreed to meet her." He says smiling at me happily."I'm honoured to have met your mother. She's incredibly kind and she's beautiful" I say and he nods in agreement."So, he says taking out his phone." He has this cheesy smile on his face. "I put together a list of questions for us." He says and I get excited. I really missed spending time with him. We had a great thing and all of the fighting and backstabbing had ruined it.But being here with him, the stupid grin on his face beaming back at me. It all

    "I'm so happy to meet you." Oliver's mother says getting up to hug me. I take in her beauty, poise and style as we embrace. She looks incredible. so well put together. I don't know if I can stop staring at her. I realize I have to eventually so it doesn't turn into anything weird. I don't want her to think I'm crazy"I'm happy to meet you too," I say finally finding my voice. I'm still nervous but a little at ease because of how sweet she is. She hugs Oliver and then we sit down."I've heard wonderful things about you." She says looking at me with a huge smile on her face. I look at her with such awe. I don't think I've seen her smile before and it's incredible how much her face changes."I hope I can live up to them," I say and she chuckles a little."Oh, no. There's nothing to live up to. You're perfect." She says and I smile not really sure what to say. "So, how are you?" She asks genuinely

    "Do you think this is a good idea?" I ask Oliver when he opens the car door for me. I stare into his eyes hoping he changes his mind. I know I agreed to this but now that we're here I'm not so sure. "Yes, it's a very good idea." He says offering me his hand. "Don't freak out. It's going to be great." Oliver says when he sees my face."What if she doesn't like me?" I ask closing the door. We start walking and my legs feel like jelly below me. "What if I say the wrong thing?" I say and he smiles looking back at me. "You can never say the wrong thing." He says and I groan in frustration. I'm freaking out here and he's not taking me seriously. I don't think I'm ready to meet his family, let alone his mom. I've never met a boyfriend's mom. I was never in a serious relationship where it got to this point. What am I doing here?
