I Love You, Believe Me

Peaceful day is over

Lucas

"chubby kitty"

I open my eyes and feel safe when i saw my room. I look at my watch. Its three in the morning. i wake up and reach my water bottle and drink.

Its been a long time since i dream about my childhood. I thought i will never remember about that name again.

i was fat when i was a kid. Nobody used to care. But this one particular kid keep yelling at me and keep bullying me. He poke on my cheek, belly and keep calling me chubby kitty. He took away mr duck and Miss sippi, my penguin. Thats my favorite toys. I remember crying and ask him to give it back to me.

That person name is Max. I depise that name so much that i hate everyone named Max.

I'm glad he move away in elementry school. but why now?

I'm different than when i was a kid. I'm not fat anymore. I learn karate so i can kick those who bullies me. I'm not a coward anymore.

With that on my mind, i go back to sleep.

Lucas

"White swan", Tam call me when i enter my class.

"don't call me that", i sat beside him, " i dont like to be associated with swan".

Tam smile, " your fans call you that".

"i dunno why they call me swan", i put my bag and give Tam a stern look, " you my best friend, you know me better"

Tam smile and open his book, "okay. even teacher call you white swan. why can't i call you white swan too!?"

"oh shut up"

"Lucas!!", class president call me and give me a note, " this from Mr. Erick. He wants you to go to his office now"

Mr. Erick is our homeroom teacher.

"why?", i ask.

"i dunno",

I take a deep breath and walk to teacher office.

This is all boys high school. I choose this school because it near to my house. Some boys greet me on the hallway and whisper 'white swan'.

I dunno when it started but people call me white swan. Maybe because my white pale skin or skinny body or.. i just don't know. There's even a fans club that dedicated for me. I don't even know why.

When i arrive at the office, Mr. Erick not there. Sitting in his chair is a boy with black shirt and black chinos. He have this aura of 'dont mess with me' and seem strong.

He look at me for a while and smile.

"where Mr. Erick?", i ask politely.

"principal"

i nodd. The conversation end there.

"White swan!!", i look at Mr. Erick at the door, "boy you too. Come here"

I follow the order and go near Mr. Erick, followed by this new student, i think.

"Lucas, i need you to show this new transfer student the dormitory. I have urgent things to do" Mr. Erick look at me and point at big bag, " he just arive from Italy. He will stay at the dormitory for a while"

"what room?", i ask.

" your room",

"what!??", i protest, " this is too sudden. Not that i oppose it. But.."

"we lack room okay", Mr. Erick pat me on the shoulder, " please."

I sigh and look at the new transfer student, " okay, just follow me"

The dormitory is another reason why i want to go to this school. It took us ten minutes walk from school.

"okay, this is our room. You can put your bag at the cupboard"

He follow my order silently.

"so your name Lucas?", he smile to me.

"yes", i smile back.

" Lucas!? are you go to Sun kindergarten?" he ask.

"yup"
