Turning Point Pt. 1

[YEAR 00]"You were never meant to be born"That was my mother's last message to me.I have never even seen my dad.My life is filled with ignorance and laughter.And none of them is mine.I always return home with ripped shirts after school.I really am grateful for my grandma, who is the only one looking after me, for never treating me differently.The most frustrating thing about this is that not even the teachers cares to give a hand towards me. They just stand there watching me suffer.Even in classes, they never check my work or grades, just let me sit there. They never changed my classes according to my grades.So I’m always in the last class of the grade. Class E.Not a single kid cared about me.I didn’t even exist in their worlds.“Oh. That fucker is back.”“Does he not get enough of this shit.”“It’s really annoying even just seeing him.”Oh. Here they come. Again.I don’t even care at this point. Just kill me."Yo bitch?""You sad?"There goes one fist to my face."I TOLD YOU TO NOT COME HERE AGAIN!"Another to my stomach.“STOP IT!!”Huh? Who was that? My vision is blurry.Oh. I am bleeding. I guess he finally did some damage to me.Is that? Hikari? From class A?“What’s your problem? Bitch?”“Stop what you’re doing. You’re hurting him.”“Ooh? Someone has a crush.”Everyone laughs.Is she fighting for me? Why, though?“Oh no~ I’m so scared~”“Okay fine. I’ll stop.”“BUT,”“Only under one condition.”His smirk is so shitty."YOU have to kiss HIM right in front of everybody."Everyone laughs again. His tone is really annoying. He, Itami, is probably the richest kid in this school and everyone is being drawn to and works under him.“You are eleven years old.”“Grow up.”“Huh? Now you’re giving me advice?”Oh no. She’s gonna get hurt,because of me.“Yeah, I am”“Oh?”"We got a brave woman right here."“Brave? Pff... give me a break.”“No one is afraid of you.”Maybe. Just maybe she could have kept quiet about that.Here comes a clenched fist.I can't move. He really hit me this time.Everyone goes silent.“And you are weak? What a let down.”Sh-, she caught it? With her BARE hands?"W- How'd y-"Yuka looks so confused. I guess he thought anyone couldn't be better than him non other than women.She throws him with a full kick to his stomach, leaving him buried in the crowd.I should apologize.I drop to the ground."I'm sorry-""I'm sorry you got caught up in this.""I really am."She looks so confused. This is so embarrassing."Are you hurt?"Wh-? WHAT? Did she not hear me?"U-m so-""Are you hurt?""K-kind of-I guess.""Let's go see the med.""N-no it's fine."Not that they would even *try* to help me anyways."What's your name?""Wh-"What is going on? Am I dead? Am I hallucinating?"Hey! you hear me?""What's your name?""S-shinzo""Shinzo? What a nice name."Her smile—I've never seen anything like that before.That's the second person ever to call me by my name, after my grandma.
