1 Thrown Person

Night cold breeze coming from northern winds kisses the cheeks of a young boy who fell asleep in a bench beside a street lamp. His backpack that looks so old hang on his right arm as he lie down on bench. Almost a dead eyes showing it's tears that's almost dropping, shaking body due to coldness, and a pale skin that's almost no blood circulating. Staring at the insects flying around over a lamp, the noise they make makes the night more lonely. Stars are shining in the vast sky, makes the kid wonder what's going on.

"What have I done?"

"Am I that evil to be punished like this?" the kid muttered to himself.

Sun came up with a warm sunlight hitting the boy on his closed eyes. Little by little, he wake and gets up. He stared at the area where he was lying the whole time. Thinking on what will he do from now on. Sugar, the boy who fell asleep in the bench. A 16 year old boy who was abandoned by his adoptive parents because of some various reasons. Sugar has no I idea why he was dumped and thrown like a used thing after it's useful deeds. Sugar is a sweet, charming and kind young man. Pale skin, black hair and has a deep blue eyes.

"What am I going to do? I have tuition to pay." Sugar asked himself in despair.

In the midst of his thinking, his eyes sparkles like there's a ray of hope gaze through his eyes. He realizes he still have his I.d and all the document he needed to survive in his backpack. About money, he also realizes he still have an on going part time job in a convenience store not so far away where he was dumped. He immediately makes a plan on how to continue his study and to survive.

"Maybe he's right there!" Sugar excitedly said.

After several walks he encountered a group of lady. He never met any of those girls and that makes him nervous. The hoody he wears looks dusty and his hair is messy. The boy felt shame upon stumbling on young ladies.

As he moves forward to go in the convenience store, someone grab him on his back.

"Hey! Aren't you handsome?" a stranger lady asked.

"Wha- what are you talking about?" Sugar replied.

"You look pale! Are you alright boy?" another girl asked.

In the midst of the conversation another girl interrupted saying-

"Back of b*thch*s! I saw him first! He is mine!"

Sugar ran towards the door of the convenience store. There, he found his senpai from work, Justin. He's the one Sugar is looking for.

"Why are you so exhausted?" Justin asked.

"Nothing Mr. Justin, anyways I have favor to ask." Sugar asked.

"I heard what happened. I am always here to help you." Justin replied.

Sugar explained to Justin everything on what happened. Justin hears all what Sugar is saying and a drop of tear came out of Justin's eyes. Justin feel pity for his junior, he then grabbed his coin purse and handed out some money for Sugar. He refuses but Justin insisted and put it inside Sugar's backpack. Sugar then say that he wants to make temporary tent beside a river in a forest for him to live. He explained that he can't afford to rent an apartment. Obviously, Justin agreed and take an action immediately.

"Thank you so much Mr., I promise I'll pay you back someday" Sugar said while smiling.

"You don't have to, you dumdum." Justin happily replied.

"Well then, see you tomorrow."

"Wait, where are you going to sleep tonight?" Justin asked.

"I'll just sleep in bench outside, beside it's free. of course just for tonight since you're going to help me build my tent tomorrow." Sugar replied.

After spending the night on the bench, someone wakes him up. Sugar thought it's Justin but instead he heard a female voice saying-

"You should've spend the night in my room."

With shock, Sugar immediately gets up and asked.

"Who are you?" Sugar asked.

"You forgot this beauty yesterday? I mean my name is Mikaela." she replied.

"Oh so you're the one with punks yesterday right?" Sugar said.

"You've got some nerves saying that in front of Riverflow General's daughter!" Mikaela replied.

Sometime passed and their conversation comes to heat. Mikaela then confront and asked Sugar saying-

"Why don't you become my slave and I'll give you anything." She asked.

"I'm not that low to accept your offer, besides I have job on going. I needn't your help. But thanks for your offer." Sugar replied.

With her eyebrows colliding, Mikaela leave the place pointing out her middle finger towards Sugar. The young boy confusedly scratch his head thinking what did he do wrong. At the same time, Justin arrived in exact 7:00 in the morning.

They soon arrive at the said place. Justin then take out the tent he had from his home. Sugar happily helped Justin building it. Later on someone appear. A girl having some lunchbox. She then gave it to Justin. Sugar is confused and asked-

"Who is this girl, mister?" Sugar asked.

"She's my younger sister, Angela." Justin replied.

"Nice to meet you Sugar, I heard your sad experience, so here am I providing small assistance." Angela said.

Sugar smiles towards Angela and you can see the pink blush appearing on Angela's cheeks. The laughter and chat they share together gets deep that they didn't realize the time. The sun is setting and all their plan are now done. Sugar then whole hearted thanked Justin and Angela for their help. They both accept it and welcomed him to their warm hearts, as warm as thee campfire they made to fight the coldness of Winter.

The life of Sugar turns into normal but far from the life he had before. He is still thankful despite the experiences he had. He's a down to earth person that couldn't hate someone for a very long time. He has the ability to forgive someone even if that person does much damage.

Lying in his tent and watching the snow falling from the sky. He's very glad that he found a way to sustain his life and make a new home. The warm heat coming form campfire gives him comfort and fell asleep in no time.

3 months of working in the convenience store and living in a tent, that life made Sugar more strong. The time has come and he needed to go to school to continue his first day in Highschool. Sugar have been earning and saving money for this big event. He will now go study without support from his family for the first time.
