I’VE NEVER REALLY THOUGHT of myself as a good person, never thought of myself as a bad person. I suppose I’ve managed to become an honest person, just like my mother would’ve wanted.
Things were fine in elementary school and in junior high. I had lots of friends, guys and girls—everybody. I had a little trouble handling sports, sure, but I pushed myself just like I did with my studies. By my third year of junior high, I’d managed to become student council president, something I’d always aspired to. I’d even managed to get into a private high school as a scholarship student.
A nice school life.
A nice home life.
But I…I made a mistake.
Something that never should’ve happened. An unforgivable “mistake” that I never should’ve made.
The angry look on my ailing mother’s face as she lay sick in bed. Her tears. The look of heartbreak on my little sister’s face, hurt and distant as she was, retreating into herself, shutting herself away… I can’t ever forget it. It comes to me even now.
My trembling fingers.
My trembling body.
The creeping blackness spreading across my heart.
I tossed my third-year of junior high in the trash. For about half a year, I shut myself away.
