Freya's P.O.V Now, I opened my eyes slowly, letting the unshed tears roll down my cheeks before I turned back to the mirror once again, to access the damage to my face. Nothing was broken, that much I was sure about, but the bruise was going to darken even further until it was a blue-black spot that stood out even in the dark. I had to make sure to hide it. My skin looked as pale as a ghost, which made my blue eyes seem haunting. They seemed too big for my face. Combined with my hollow looking cheekbones, I pretty much looked like a walking-talking horror movie. My bangs covered most of my forehead, reaching past my brows and stopping just above my eyes. I knew I was no looker, but as the days went by, I had started to look even worse. My ink black hair had once reached up to my waist in long delicate curls, back when my mother had still been alive. But now, I've had cut them short to my ears to save myself so much unwanted trouble. Because long hair was easier to gri

Freya's P.O.V "Freya," the math teacher, Mr. Agnes, called out to me in his usual strict voice while handing out our test results from last week. "Come up here." The instant he told me to 'come up here', I knew that I had failed the test. And even though I could conjure up a thousand different excuses for my failure, the truth was, I had never been good at math or science. I don't even know why and how I ended up in these classes in the first place. With everything going on in my life, I was pretty sure I was just sleep-walking from one day to the other, just waiting for Julian to grow up so this could all be over. Pulling my hoodie down lower on my face, I got up from my seat and headed straight for the teacher's desk. He handed me my paper right away, his expression grim. "You'll need to complete another assignment if you wish to pass high school, Freya." F+ Could've been a minus, right? At least it's a plus. Without s

Freya's P.O.V "I'm so sorry, Julian." I petted his light brown hair that still had some blonde highlights on it. "You'll have to come to the restaurant with me this afternoon." "That's alright." Julian gave me a sweet smile. "I like the restaurant. Uncle Roger gives me treats sometimes!" Breathing a sigh of relief, I took my brother's hand and started walking in the direction of the restaurant. I hadn't realized just how long I had stayed in the washroom, just staring at the mirror after listening to the girls and in doing so, I had been late to grab Julian from the Kindergarten. As a result, I was almost late to work, so I didn't have time to send him back home before heading to Roger's Diner, the place I work at after school. Since I was a minor and a part-timer, I was only eligible for the minimum wage, but that was fine too. At least it was something. It helped me earn four hundred dollars a week, which was enough to b

Freya's P.O.V Another hour went by after Cameron's group left the restaurant. Everything was going smoothly and I breathed a sigh of relief on making it to the end of my shift without causing any major trouble. The day was almost at its end and I was finally going to go home and rest. At this point, I wasn't even hungry anymore…I just wanted to sleep. I changed out of my work clothes and folded them neatly inside my locker. They should be good for another day and I'll be able to get them cleaned tomorrow so I can keep wearing them next week as well. But just as I exited the changing room, Roger was there to greet me and he didn't look happy at all. "Wh-what is it?" I asked him, looking up at his grim face. "One of our customers complained about your rude behaviour today." He got straight to the point. "And even though I know they are from the same school as you, I'll have to take disciplinary actions." My heart sank to the pit

Freya's P.O.V Rummaging through the bottom bathroom cabinet in my room, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I found the packet of cup noodles at the very back of the storage unit, right behind the sanitary napkins that I stored away. I wasn't just starving at this point, but my entire body was trembling in exhaustion and low blood sugar levels. I was shaking like a leaf as I searched the entire house for food that I had hidden in safe places, so that when my dad left after finishing up all of our resources, me and Julian would still have food to eat. Taking the carton out of the cabinet, I found that there were an entire pack of the noodles left. I think I had bought it from a sale last year, when the offer had been five noodles for $3. And I had taken it without questions. Now, I found the noodles still intact and much to my surprise, only a month shy of their expiry date. Thank you God for little mercies. I closed my eyes in a silent prayer before I got o
