Hey, it's Natsuki! So today was just another one of those frustrating and flustering days that I seem to be stuck in. Seriously, can't catch a break around here. But whatever, I'll try my best to put up with it like always.
Morning Mishaps
I woke up this morning feeling groggy and exhausted as usual. It's not easy getting a good night's sleep when you have nightmares haunting your dreams all the time. Ugh, why does life have to be so unfair? Anyway, I dragged myself out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom to get ready for the day.
As I looked at myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth, I couldn't help but notice how tired and worn-out I appeared. Those dark circles under my eyes were definitely not doing me any favors in terms of looking presentable. But hey, who cares about appearances anyway?
School Shenanigans
Once dressed and somewhat put together (or at least enough to pass off as acceptable), it was time for yet another dreadful day at school – where people constantly annoy me with their mindless chatter and fake smiles plastered on their faces.
In class today during math period (ugh, don't even get me started on math), some idiot named Kyle thought he could crack a lame joke about my height again - seriously? Does he really think that kind of thing is funny? Well let me tell you something buddy – it isn’t!
But instead of giving him the satisfaction of seeing how much his pathetic attempt hurt or affected me (which spoiler alert: it didn't), I decided to respond with an equally snarky comeback laced with sarcasm that left him speechless…for once.
Hidden Bruises
After enduring what felt like an eternity trapped within those boring classroom walls filled with ignorant classmates who couldn’t possibly understand what real struggles are like rolls eyes, lunchtime finally arrived.
As I sat alone in the cafeteria, picking at my food and lost in my own thoughts, I couldn't help but notice that familiar sting of pain coming from one of the many bruises scattered across my body. Sigh Another reminder of what awaits me back home.
It's not like anyone would care or even notice if they did see them anyway. People are so wrapped up in their own little worlds to bother looking beyond the surface – and honestly, why should they? It’s not their problem.
A Glimpse Behind Closed Doors
Finally escaping school (thank goodness!), I trudged back home - a place that is supposed to be safe and comforting but feels more like a prison than anything else. As soon as I stepped through the front door, an overwhelming sense of dread washed over me.
My father was waiting for me with his usual scowl etched onto his face – a face that had caused nothing but fear and pain throughout my entire life. The physical abuse he inflicts upon me leaves behind visible reminders on every inch of my skin - dark secrets hidden beneath long sleeves and carefully placed makeup.
With each passing day, it becomes harder to put on this facade; pretending everything is fine when it clearly isn't. But hey, who am I kidding? No one really cares about what happens behind closed doors anyway…right?
Conclusion
So there you have it – just another typical day in Natsuki's life filled with frustration, flustering moments, fake smiles at school followed by painful encounters at home… Rinse and repeat until further notice.
But despite all the hardships thrown my way (and trust me when I say there are plenty), deep down inside remains a glimmering hope for something better - maybe someday things will change...maybe someday someone will truly see past these walls we build around ourselves...until then though,I'll continue putting up with this cruel world, one day at a time.
