The Love Project

CHAPTER 1.

THEODORE
"You killed her, Theo. YOU KILLED HER."
It's been months since I had that nightmare. Just when I thought I was fine, I was starting to be normal like others, it all comes crashing down. To be honest, a part of me was ashamed of being able to forget and move on when I ruined them, ruined us. I glance over the clock, 3:30 A.M. definitely too early to be swalled by darkness, too early to lose myself when I have got my whole day before me. I stand up after my futile attempts of going back to sleep. I wash my face, make some tea and open up my assignments from the day before. 

5:30 A.M.
I didn't realise it had been this late. I will miss the 6.00 A.M. train, if i don't make it to the station in 15 minutes, shoot! I quickly dress up for school. It always fills me with pride when I look at my school jacket(coat) - The New Way's High School. I worked my ass off trying to get in but in the end it was all worth it. The school is known for most IVY LEAGUE acceptences. I belive if my record is spotless as always, I will be able to make it to HARVARD MEDICINE. Putting it all aside, I am going to be late,damn it!

I make just in time for the roll call. It's already halfway through our term and exams are just around the corner, everyone is stressing about them, especially when they all say grade 12 is not easy. I see my friends, Liam and Pime, the only people I can call in the middle of the night and they'd pick up. I am greatful for them, sometimes when the darkness comes they can help suppress it. It just becomes...easy. 

Liam is fighting pime over some manga that recently ended. Usually, I would chip in but I just don't have the energy today. I ignore their cat mouse fight when I notice HIM, the class rep and the president of school, Noah King. He appears perfect, as if he has no flaw and everyone believes it but I am sure that's all a facade and that he's just another scum like the rest that come from rich, influential families that would do anything to maintain their status. His father, Jason King runs the KING CORPORATION and is infamous for his wicked ways and sly smile. I am sure junior king (aka noah) inherited that from his father. 

With his dark hair, deep blue eyes and chiseled jaw, he stands out from plain looking guys like me and is the school's prince. He is privelleged in every way. While I have to work 2 jobs to earn enough money for rent and commute to and from school.  I despise people like him, life is too easy for them, atleast easier than people like me.

I look away when I realise I am staring too hard. Liam and Pime are still over that character that met his untimely death tragically. Our first class today is physics, I pull out my airpods and arrange my books. I hope today ends without any ruckus.  I have perfected the art of being invisible through out my junior year. I want my record clean and I am willing to be invisible for that. There's no one I would prefer to go mingle with. I have my two best friends and that's enough.
