Chapter 2 - Decision

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock ringing on the small table beside my bed, as soon as I get up, I open the curtains and let the sunlight into my room, my room is relatively simple, a bed and a desk where I can study, the walls of my room are a shallow blue color and a few sleeves on my bookshelf, i spend as little as possible to save, when my parents died three years ago, they left me a considerable amount of money, although I can't say that I became rich it was more than enough for me to survive until I graduated.

As soon as I finish putting on my uniform, I go down to the second floor and start preparing breakfast, as I eat my thoughts go back to Shinji, lately I have been having nightmares about him and his goons beating me up, I wonder if today will be a different day.

"Hahaha"

I laugh with my thoughts, and of course today will be no different than the previous days where I am beaten and humiliated, at first, I resisted because I thought someone would reach out to me, but after realizing that there was no one on my side I simply decided to stop trying, nothing would change, nothing I did would make my situation better, i feel a small burning sensation coming from my hand, as soon as I look at it, I see that at some point my hand was on the cutting part and I was squeezing it too hard, as soon as I take my hand off the knife, I look at the blood that is dripping down my hand.

"... Why don't I just kill him?"

This thought flooded my mind, although I have felt this urge before it has never been as intense as what I am feeling now.

"Sure, I will be socially fucked after this but who cares, I don't have a family anymore so why care about that"

With that thought in mind I grab a knife and put it in my backpack along with my lunch, and today that I will end it all, my eyes are probably empty at this point.

"I'm sorry mom, dad, I hope you forgive your son for the choice he made"

As soon as I reach the entrance of the house, I touch the door handle ready to leave, I look one last time at the pictures of my parents and leave the house, inside the train while on my way to school I notice Shinji's girlfriend sitting on one of the seats, she seems to notice me and soon a contemptuous smile appears on her face, she raises her cell phone towards me and soon a light comes on her phone, I am sure she took a picture.

As soon as she took the picture, she puts the cell phone down as a smile appears on her face, her lips start to move slowly trying to tell me something, although it was difficult, I could understand perfectly what she was saying, Shinji tells me this all the time so it's impossible for me to forget.

"You are dead"

After saying these words, she ignores me again and starts fiddling with her cell phone, i turn around and start to look outside the train, sometimes I wonder what she sees as so funny about bullying me, after the train arrives at the station, I get off the train and start walking towards the school, as soon as I open my locker to change my shoes, I see that there are several nails scattered about along with a letter, in the letter is written "Die" in red.

Ignoring this I go up to my classroom and sit in my chair, looking around I see that some chairs are already occupied, but I see no sign of Shinji, probably he has not arrived yet, a while later the classroom door opens abruptly, heavy footsteps begin to echo coming towards me, I don't even need to look to know who it is, abruptly my shirt is grabbed causing me to stand up, as soon as I look at the person who had done this, I see that it was exactly who I expected it to be.

"Hey you trash, I heard you were following my girlfriend again today"

Just as Shinji says this a face appears next to him, this one smiles at me and waves, this really didn't surprise me, I already knew she would do this, she doesn't miss an opportunity to see me get beat up, but seriously, instead of brains, this guy has shit? me and her live in the same neighborhood so it's not obvious that we would end up catching the same train.

I really couldn't care less about this, anyway this guy is finally going to get what he deserves, I wanted to make him suffer more than a simple death but for someone like me this is the only thing I can do, my thoughts were racing as I reached into my coat pocket ready to grab the knife and end it all, but my action was abruptly stopped by a scream coming from a girl who was standing near the room.

"Kyaaaaaa"

As soon as the scream was heard everyone turned their heads towards the voice seeing a girl lying on her butt on the floor as she pointed to the door of the room, as soon as our eyes moved to the door of the room, we saw that there was nothing, a strange darkness was totally blocking the view outside, when we looked at the windows, we saw that they were all with the same darkness, Shinji let go of me with force, causing me to fall to the floor and started walking towards the door.

"Hmmm? what the fuck is this"

Those were the words Shinji said, everyone starts to panic not knowing what to do or what might be happening, I am also extremely confused, but somehow I am not desperate like the others, I guess what they say about not caring about anything else when you lose everything is true, while this thought was going through my head, Shinji picks up a backpack and throws it at the door, the backpack just went through the door indicating that there might be something on the other side, seeming to think of something, Shinji turns to me with a fierce look on his face, somehow, I knew this would not end well for me.
