.............Present............
" I tend to overanalyze everything, painting myself as the antagonist in every scenario. I remained in that state for the entire following week, silent, practically numb and lifeless. Eventually, I threw myself into my studies, aiming to break free from the cycle of overthinking. Before I knew it, I was immersed in intense studying for our pre-board exams, receiving accolades from everyone. Nishkarsh, on the other hand, continued to ignore me at school, as if nothing had transpired between us. We were essentially strangers, with that one incident defining his perception of me. Things seemed to settle, but my performance in the second math pre-board went down as I suffered headache during the exam. This led to me seeing the true sides of everyone they criticized me for my scores, even the kids who score nothing , questioning my unexpected dip in scores, even saying that I had scored below the average student in my class. My maths teacher said that I am being worse day by day and my father said I am not anymore the kid I once was, and my mother's harsh words pushed me to my breaking point..." I paused, tears welling up, as Tis gazed at me with sympathetic eyes."
"You've been through a lot---" he said quietly.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTmK2tNVLB
"I then locked myself in my room and studied again. Once, while crying over something my teacher said, I accidentally cut myself with a cutter. It was painful, but the physical pain distracted me from the pain in my mind... So, I took the blade from my sharpener and it became my companion," I explained.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7kOYu7syD
"That's not right. You faced everything because you allowed it to happen," he retorted loudly.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhomBaUCNk3
"So, what was I supposed to do, huh? Yell at my math teacher, or confront my father that I'm doing my best? Or tell Ayaan that despite hurting me deeply, I still care for him, huh?" I vented.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KgRHnFQOf
"No, you didn't have to do anything, but you didn't have to paint yourself as the villain," he responded.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59eIpP6IKU
"I-I don't know, everything felt like it was suffocating me. I can't trust anyone, and even now, walking down the streets, I fear someone will approach me and declare me worthless." Tears streamed down my face. "You can't understand how I felt. One wrong answer, one cut; two wrong answers, two cuts. It felt like I wasn't solving questions; they were complicating me," I confessed.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg5xPlwLUY
"It's okay, nothing happened, right? I know you've been through a lot, and trust me, give me your arm. I'll make those scars disappear. Don't cry like this; I don't know how to make a crying human happy," he reassured.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi96tMgg5Te
"I won't cry anymore, but can you do something that will make me forget Ayaan forever?" she asked hesitantly.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZEqIhLPMT
"Forget? I can't do that, but yes, I can help you hate him forever," he replied firmly.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT4i55NVqh
I gazed into his eyes for a few moments before responding, "Yes, please. I actually want to dislike him."
"Alright, first show me your arm; these scars look quite severe."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8g3wcwD3h
"And I wonder why everyone always believed me when I said I felt down and got these."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU4rKK1Deh
"They probably never cared; humans can be disgusting."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHMQknFXbJ
"Finally, you get it. Nobody cares about anybody else until they need something from them."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCfKsLzVW1
"And even the thought of this is frightening."he replied.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH9xAiYISV
As I extended my arm, he closed his eyes, and a green smoke enveloped my arm.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO261WqF6L
"Will it truly heal?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGVOvoVVHA
"Remember, kid, I can erase your scars but not your pain. So, make sure you don't do that again," he said in a very serious tone.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjQU0eYL2
I Remained silent, gazing at the pond, without uttering a word as the scars on my arm vanished.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvESGr0f6M
"What? Don't you think you can stop hurting yourself?"He asked again.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejqPCZPvq
"No, I can stop it. I know that, but I can't mend myself; something inside me is broken."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVOdKoTcap
"You don't have to do that. It will happen in time; just live," he comforted, his eyes meeting mine.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvYmrhcYg
"H-how can I hate him?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83IovjVmTy
"Hmm... Want to see him naked?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScUTjZ8zuO
"What???" I exclaimed in shock.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JSJiZJUjg
"I was just joking, hahaha. And look at you, you fell for it."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX54IYggp8e
"Yuck, what kind of joke was that?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndEsDvyGWZ
"Here," he said before closing his eyes, muttering something under his breath, "turn around."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDjT9h3bAL
I turned to see Ayaan.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasK8HFpOn
"Is this like a wax figure?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHumJc0oLLH
"Kind of, but you can direct all your anger at this statue," he said, smirking.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs5J68nJBA
"Oh," as I lunged towards the statue and touched its cheek.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot9mxVl7Bm
"Kiddo, if I were in your shoes, I'd be smashing that statue by now instead of just poking its cheek."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddX5t9N1kA
"Yeah, you're right. Despite his handsome face, he made my life hell," I said as I punched him.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxPM55xYy2
"Kill him," he commanded.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqRULl6ES6
"Y-yes," I stuttered, unleashing a flurry of punches and slaps on the statue. "This one's for hurting me," I exclaimed with each blow, "and this one's for damaging my mental health," my anger fueling each strike.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vlJWkPf2Y
"Want me to make more people?" He inquired.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa4nLF23J8
"Yes, Pankti, Arth," I echoed.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Okgmlr0Q
"I haven't seen them, little human," he replied in a somber tone.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdmniswDEt
"Fine, I'll introduce you to them," I retorted.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnL2Cmh3L9
"No need, focus on destroying this human first," he insisted, as I continued my assault on the replica of Ayaan for several more minutes.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdl6aNXq0L
Exhausted, I rested, hands on my knees, feeling drained like an athlete after a grueling race.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xULPChMme
"Feeling relieved?" he taunted with a smirk.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiUSsFBc1N
"Yes, but I can't bring myself to hate him," I confessed.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwteuZZbnoI
"You will, mark my words. In a few days, you'll come to despise everyone," he predicted ominously.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3NZXtTH3j
"What? Everyone?" I gasped, taken aback by his dark prophecy.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NQr1fCxQp
"Yes, you'll soon understand the harsh reality of this world. Just wait a bit longer," he concluded with a chilling certainty.
I stood there, lost for words, unsure how to respond.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOeaHd52pW
"Hey, you gotta change your ways, kid. Being a victim won't get you anywhere. Become the hunter, or you'll be the one getting hunted," he advised, stepping closer.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKzIJMHG8j
"I... I don't get what you mean," I stammered.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47poRPcWDR
"You'll figure it out, don't sweat it," he reassured me.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNXkiURrdM
"It's been about an hour since we left Earth. Should we head back?" I asked, feeling a bit disoriented.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6pvOU6mnK
"Yeah, we should go back. Time moves differently here, so it'll probably be morning when we return," he explained.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cfXuq6CKO
"What?!" I exclaimed in confusion.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBEeF0Ikdd
"Yeah, when you were chosen, I think the creator froze time. That's why when we went back, it was still the same day and hour," he clarified.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3eOK2z8vL
"Yeah, you mentioned time moves slower here compared to Earth."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24gTgyyjtd
"Let's drop you off at home now that your new session is starting..." he began.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepO3lKGbM1
"I've already caused enough harm to myself, and now I won't listen to anyone," I asserted firmly, cutting him off.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLZVy3gJXP
"No, listen to everyone, but do what I say," he responded with a smile.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhVDLdTAmb
"Hehe... okay," I replied, smiling back, realizing he was a bit crazy.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XPEUV03x7
As we returned to Earth, it wasn't quite morning yet, so I headed to bed to get some rest. I was determined to fix myself and knew I could do it. I decided to ignore Ayaan, focus on my career, which I was still contemplating.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfmVJVRoA
A few days later, my parents enrolled me in the science stream. They had asked for my opinion, but it felt more like they were telling me to choose science without any other option. Uncertain about my future career path, I agreed to follow their decision, giving myself these two years to figure things out.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqPOxqfA2
I was resolute as I began my 11th-grade classes, embracing a new class, new faces, and a new version of myself. I made a promise to myself not to harm myself anymore, no matter what. While Tis kept a watchful eye on the women around me, it seemed like we were both busy transforming our lives, only to realize later that my assumptions were mistaken.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlrWdPBrRL
