Chapter 4 - don't fall

 It is none of your business. This is how she wants her name to be. Leave her alone at that moment I didn't know where to focus: me procrastinating the lesson, the woman who lied to me about changing my name not causing me any problems, or the kind girl who helped me get out of depression at the last minute. The teacher got angry because I was disturbed, so she took the kind girl and me to stand outside. While my tears streamed down the floor and filled the room, she was smiling brightly and she had nothing to worry about. This is normal for our age. I was envious that she could smile like that. I wouldn't be able to smile like that even in a million years. She stopped me from crying with such funny faces. Then she started talking to me and introducing herself to me. She said her name was Elly. I even felt embarrassed by her name. She said to me calmly, "What's your name?" I said, afraid that she would laugh like the whole class at my name. I didn't want to cry again. My name is Yuna. She said, "Then why do you want to change it? It's the cutest name I've ever heard." My heart trembled violently and I went back to crying. Elly was laughing. It was one of the best moments of my life that saved me at the last moment,

my best friend and my dearest friend as well and as for my old friends I noticed that they were laughing at me that day along with the rest of the class This was a shock to me but it made my character a little stronger but I noticed that I don't needed anyone but elly She stands by me every time I get bullied by the kids in class It would have been so scary Without her I would never have been able to live a normal life Although it's not normal yet Apparently the lady who adopted me has a new boyfriend So she forced me to go back to work at the store and school at the same time It wasn't a great store It was just a regular boring grocery store The customers are surprised when they see I'm a kid working But they don't care because of my skin colour I've come to hate it so much And now that woman comes home late at night So I have to eat snacks from the store for dinner Sometimes I go to bed hungry But I won't complain Because I used to sleep on the floor at the orphanage At least here I sleep on the couch in the living room Regardless The house looks scary at night alone But I control myself So I don't get thrown out on the street like a pauper I have to be happy with what I have Or it will be taken from me I wait impatiently for the morning to go to Ellie at school And there are some nights I couldn't sleep from excitement The weekend was like a nightmare to me I was just working at the damn store while she had a great time On trips with her silly lover, he must be her lover, they are alike in everything Suppose it's Ellie, I have some good friends, I met a boy named Bruno and a girl named Maria, we became like a band, it was fun, we used to go during break time, help the pregnant cafeteria worker, and go stop bullies, until Ellie started changing for some reason, when I try to talk to her, she ignores me and doesn't play like me, like we used to do since Maria came into our lives, she tries to steal her from me, she steals my best friend, like she tells her that I'm ugly and dark, that they should stay away from me and stuff, I was very sad because Ellie started hating me, but Bruno is still with me, but I noticed that he also stops playing with me, I got mad at her because she steals my friends from me, and I wanted to hit her hard, but so I went to Ellie directly, Maria is trying to break us up, but her response was like a thunderbolt to me, she said that she didn't love me from the beginning because I'm poor, she loves Maria because she has money and buys her everything she wants, and I don't do anything for her, it turns out that Ellie is my good, kind friend with her wonderful laugh, she She's fake and her laughter and she doesn't care about money I thought I was rich at the time because I was doing my own hair and dressing well and getting some snacks from the store and as for Bruno he seemed to be into Ellie so he got close to me to show her so when Ellie walked away he walked away too This incident was a huge change in my personality for the worse, I became spiteful and violent by nature, my personality became shaky, I stopped going to school and started going to the library near the store, of course without the lady knowing, if she knew I would have definitely died,

because she would get angry quickly for any trivial reason, and would come home drunk and beat me for the most trivial reasons. But what saved me from this situation were books, they took me to another world, and writers have minds other than ours, they have a much greater imagination, I loved any kind of books, but my favourite were fiction books because they created a new world in which there was no racism. The situation continued like this for a month until the lady discovered that I would not go to school after I almost died in her hands with my head bleeding, and after she did not care, she sent me back to school, but I insisted on not going, so I was transferred to another school. Of course I had no friends, and no one applauded me at my welcome party, but I did not care. My biggest concern was excellence, I was just studying and I studied until I reached the third grade, I was the top of my class and the teachers loved me for my excellence, some students didn't like this, but there were some dark-skinned students who didn't care about their colour like me, but we became friends, I started playing and having fun, one day I went to school early to play more and I found three students in the class, a girl and two boys, I went to sit in my seat to prepare my things and the boys started to harass me, I tried to ignore them, but my personality became violent, I stood up from my seat and started running around the whole class chasing them to hit them, and after I almost caught up with one of them, my foot tripped and I fell and my eye hit the edge of the table, when I raised my head my classmate was screaming and crying, I said in panic "What's wrong?" She took out a mirror and showed me what I looked like, I was bleeding profusely and the whole class was covered in blood as well as my clothes. She grabbed my hand while I was crying and took me to the nurse's room, when I arrived she was amazed by my appearance, I was crying hard, she lifted me onto the bed and started cleaning and bandaging the wound and brought me my bag from the class and asked me to give her my guardian's number, I refused because I knew that if the woman knew I would be dead, but she did not listen to me, she took my ID and the number and called her, and when she came everyone was nervous from the way she looked at me, as if she was going to kill me, she took me in her car and when we got home she raised her hand to hit me, but at the last moment she received an important call and left, we all know that a call from that evil eye withdraws her money because of her love for him, it does not matter, the most important thing is that I did not die, it is the first time I am grateful to him, and as usual I went to the library, but I could not see well, so I returned home early, unlike usual And of course she doesn't know anything called comfort. All she cares about is enjoying her time with that silly guy. So I had to work in the store all the time. After a week and some tests at the clinic, my vision was damaged and I started wearing glasses. I had to go back to school. I didn't really miss it, although I played with some kids. I knew the end. I became known at school for my intelligence and in the library for my talent for reading quickly and my great love for books and my appreciation for them since they were my only reason for life. It's okay for me to stop going to school, but I won't stop reading books I was ten years old in the same situation, then the woman who adopted me married her second lover, and after that they travelled on their honeymoon to France with the money that she had saved from my work in the store, and I was left in New York in the store. Let's say that I got smarter in mathematics, and it was spent on me, but I did not lack anything. Never, but I never had the most important thing in the world, which is a family. The warmth of the family is the only thing I never had in my life. All the children in my school have a family that cares about them forever. I go to school with some sweets And snacks, but the rest of the students brought lunch boxes full of delicious meals. They were telling me how lucky I was because I brought sweets with me. They did not know that the opposite was true. The situation continued like this for a month

when they returned from their honeymoon. We discovered that the lady, forgive me, I cannot call her my mother. Let us continue. We discovered that she was pregnant. I knew at the time what pregnant meant, but I did not have a real family to tell me that the bird would bring the child after nine months. No, they explained to me how the birth took place, so that I was working as a slave for her while she was pregnant In her fifth month, I started going out and shopping. Her husband hit me because I did not go with her. Then she came back and continued beating me because I made her beloved husband angry. I don't know how the nine months passed without me dying, but I was fine. When I went to the hospital, she did not tell me. I was used to her absence, but she called from the hospital after For two days, she said, "Clean the house. I am coming." I did not refuse. When she returned, the baby was a girl. They called her Lily. She was very cute, but they did not let me get close to her because I am brunette. But I did not give up. I played with her every minute Lily became five years old and I became fifteen years old. I used to love Lily very much and would take her to buy clothes and sweets. The store became in my name and the two gentlemen became like parents to me because I had been patient with them all this time and excelled in my studies and won many reading competitions and became very social. I entered high school, and one day I made a lot of friends. The school was busy. The teacher entered the reading room and introduced herself, saying, "It was nice to meet you. My name is Lamar, "I will be your teacher." She sighed and then ii remembered my days With her, she went under the desk and began to cry. Until the end of the lesson, I left the classroom and followed her. When I caught her, I eagerly told her, "I am Yona. Do you remember me?" Lamar fell to the ground in shock and began to cry. She said, "I did not think I would see you. You have become a beautiful girl who has really grown up." We lived together for a while, and we lived together for a while. We cried. I missed her warm embrace. As I hugged her, the crying increased. She took me to the teachers' room and started asking me about my condition when she found out that I had a new sister. I was really happy to discover that the teacher, Lamar, had it She has a son a year older than me and in the same school called Ayman. We got to know him and now we are lovers. I lived the rest of my life in love and peace with my loved ones. I graduated, and because of my great love for books, I became a writer and wrote many stories and became a famous writer with my name, which I did not love, and my sad past. Without a family, I did not have anything, but now I have everything. I married Ayman, and now I have twin girls and a boy at the age of three, and the family I dreamed of is now mine. Because I was very patient, I did not give up halfway through Don't give up on the friends who abandoned me. I have much better friends now. Path friends. I'm glad I didn't fall.
