So that's my schedule on my everyday life,but I really don't regret it since I moved here in Manila,even though I rent a cheap apartment in a squatter, sleeping in an uncomfortable bed,my life was really destined to this,a life where you need to earn that's why I just don't need a family to support me,I don't feel disturbance when they say that I don't have a family or parents to guide me.I just want to fullfill my dreams and have a family of myself and that's why I will earn on what I worked for.

But one day something really changed but before it happened I dreamed on something.I was on a boat,the boat sailing with the sailor sailing it,but it was strange,the boat was an entity itself,the sailor was wearing a mask with a big weird face carved on it and also the water was not really water it was all fog all over it.It was like I died in that moment and then I came to realise that I wearing a plain white cloth on me then something disturbing happened,My hands were gone, it was like It vanished suddenly.My Chest went to bleed suddenly and the side where my heart is forming into a hole.I sweated from fear and confusion,the horrible scene made me crazy and then the sailor stared at me longer and made a creepy grin on me,it was like death has a face making me fear more,but suddenly the boat suddenly shakes like an earthquake,I quickly grabbed my hand onto the boat.the boat stopped,it was pure silence and In the last time,an eye appeared on the boat and woke me up into the nightmare,as I realized I sweated too much and peed on my pants.

"Fucked what was that?" I asked myself.

I was frustrated at that moment and it was confusing,I questioned myself "is this gonna happen to me?" I couldn't over it,the feeling is still even there.I quickly check my surroundings if something is changed but it isn't,I pinched myself if this is another but it wasn't.I checked my my phone on what time it is,it was 3am in the morning,the moon was shining,it was the full moon,lighting the window of my room.

"The moon,does it have a connection to this?" I asked myself.

I stood up and quickly prepare for school,As I brushed my teeth,My memories were responding,thinking about that dream,Some says dreams will be forgotten after you wake up,but this….

…..it wasn't like other dreams,it was like a premonition.Me,the boat staring at me,the sailor who was smiling at me,that feeling was creepy as hell,it was the reason I peed my pants.

I didn't forget it,from breakfast to coming to school.I couldn't stop thinking about it,until then I kept overthinking it.As I sat on my seat,I was just alone,it was 5:30am,it was twenty minutes earlier than my schedule.I couldn't stop sweating from it, overthinking that dream was exhausting and stressful as the same timeI put my book in my Chair to focus on my studies and to also ignore that hellish dream,but I couldn't it made me so stressful that when the first two students opened the door,it triggers me shout that it shock the two students and ran to the hall,screaming.I inhaled so I could call down now,and sleeps into it.As the I wake up,a chalk hit my head and the whole class laughs at me.

"Mr. Domingo, did you have enough sleep ?" The teacher asked.

"Yes sir,Just had a bad dream" I answered.

"Now answer this question." The teacher commander.

"Huh?" I asked confusedly.

The whole class laughed at my stupidity,The teacher sighed at me "Okay,Karen tell him what to answer."

"Yes sir."My classmate Karen agreed. "Daniel,sit down here's the answer……"

After the tutor,I answered the question.My classmates secretly laughs at me,but I just ignored it.

Think about something,the dream.I remembered,even though it was disturbing to me,the shout gave me calm.As i remembered it,My pierced heart,My lost arms,a bloody scene,the boat,the sailor,it was that i can remember,but still It disturbs me.

As I go for a lunch,I was given disappointment when my favorite rice noodle was sold out,I just bought the last piece of lumpia,that canteen sell.As I go to the classroom,carrying my lumpia,My mind was filled again with that dream,When I remembered it,it filled my brain.Then,again,I overthinked it without I bumped to someone's shoulder and it was hard, That someone was Darren,What do i say about this, He's clearly in the soccer team of our school,Famous in social media,A playboy,a common kind of character that a story has "the famous bully" even though he's famous,I really don't like his attitude, he's that type of man that teases people,has guys or I guess bodyguards on him that makes him more attractive,a plastic attitude that I wanna crush.He fools people around him,making pranks that are not cool to anyone and when his angry,he clearly needs people to support him so he could beat the shit out it. "Hey,you clearly bumped my shoulder hardly." He demands.

I came back to my consciousness."Aaaaah what?" I asked.

"You CLEARLY BUMPED MY SHOULDER HARDLY!" he shouted.

"You're doomed bro, he's angry." Said by his friend.

"Aaah,I really don't need fights right now,sorry." i spoke.

"Why, you're gay?!" He shouted.The tension got bigger when crowds are starting to show,and cheering him up. "Beat him! Beat him!" His friends shouting.

"I really don't want this to be worse so i gotta eat some lunch right now." I said.

But he suddenly drops my lunch,as I came to get it he suddenly crushed it.

The crowds suddenly shouts "Oooooooh."

As he and his friends smiling,I was full of anger,it made me more stressful.

"Just tell me you're sorry,and we're good." I asked.

He was still smiling and then he made a grin at me that angers me the most.

"I'm sorry." He smiles happily.

"Bullshit!" Due to anger,I quickly grab him to the neck,as fast as I could,I punched him brutally,to the face to the chest.

"You sorry was plastic shit." His friends freezes up as I punched him like a MMA fighter.

"Ughhhhhh." He cried slowly.

The crowd was quiet,they didn't expect that,they have seen Darren beating the shit of someone,but as they see me beat Darren they're goosebumps were riding.

"Please just stop it." One of his friends begs at me while the crowds was looking at me,scared.

"Could you shut up, I'm busy beating him up,why? Do you want to be next?" I asked him kindly.

He gone quiet after that.I stood up and stop beating Darren,the crowds realized."I guess beating is not a good thing." At the time Darren tried to stand up,I quickly kick his chest repeatedly. "Maybe Kicks will do!!! Haha!!!" The crowds were shock seeing some horror on me but for me it was stress relieving.

"Now you've got you're punishment bad boy,you think you're tough, you'll be tough when you don't mess with a lumpia.Now my lunch is now happy seeing you beaten up.I was saving my money and you were wasting it.How was it famous? How's the taste of my shoes kicking you're face back in forth.Hope you won't mess with my lunch dipshit!" As part of my revenge on my lunch I beat up to the pulp.

Crowds we're entirely quiet,no one stop me,his friends were like statues.As I entirely laugh by beating him up someone came and shouted my name.

"Daniel?" The representative of grade 9,Evangeline stood in front of me,shock on what I was doing.

"Oh,shit."
