I Am Back!

"I am back. I am going to walk out there confidently and knock them dead. I will show them that I am stronger than they will ever be. I will be there for you mum". I declared. But I missed seeing the small smile on my 'unconscious' mum's face.

That day I went to the market to get groceries, medicine and other items we needed. I could hear the whispers in the crowd with contempt and malice in their eyes. I was mad and I wanted to punch them. But I knew it wasn't the right time and that I should worry about my mothers health instead. I ignored the comments about me but then I heard Octavia's voice.

Octavia was my rival before the test. I didn't hate her but her rude behavior made me dislike her. I ignored her even when she made comments and shoved me on my shoulders which made me drop things.

I kept a smile on my face to make her happy and she was over the moon to see how I had returned to my past self.
