It had been raining all day and I am alone staring out of the window and wondering when will I be free to discover ''freedom'' and the true purpose of my existence. I am Jack or well-known as Jack the wallflower where most of the people including the teachers called me , well maybe not Mr Thomson, my favorite English language teacher. According to my standard daily life schedule, I will be preparing to school while watching my parent rushing out of the house fulfilling their desire for wealthiness.Why are the adults always acting the same or am I just too immature to understand them?
Bang! Yes, another daily routine of mine, getting pranked by everyone and in everywhere. Sometimes there are things we just can not avoid or we are just too tired to do so. But this time and only this time, I actually thanked them for doing so or not I wont be able to meet Jennifer, the captain of cheer leading team who i ended up getting together and I treasured her as if she is part of my family. It all started when this group of delinquent pushed me down from the top of the stairs and Jennifer offered her helping hands as if an angel was rescuing the poor kid. I swear it actually sounded more like a fairy tale but to me, it was extraordinary.
Even though many of the delinquent treated me even more terribly, it all does not matter when I see her reflection in myself and my heart. I spent many of my first time with her. First time going to a club, first time drinking alcohol , first time smoking cigarette and even first time driving illegally. It was the best moment in my life and that was the moment I was able to sense the true freedom I was seeking of all time.
Unfortunately, all this exquisitely beautiful moments had became ashes when my academic achievement reaches a horrible downfall. My parent questioned me , my teachers scolded me and the counselor warned me. That's when I realized all this are just a temporary substitution to my loneliness, it is an illusion that separates me from reality. On that day onward our relationship puts an end.
It had been raining all day, as if things just went back to a year ago where the vulnerable me was just staring out the window waiting for a better life. But today i did not wait for it, I took one big step ahead to reach my true destination and to find the true of purpose of my existence.
