Guten Tag. Thought: "The most dangerous thing is one's own brain" ———————————————————————

The day has arrived. The day I've been waiting for. The day that will tell the fate. Whether I have a chance to be in some good university or not. Will I win or lose.
The declaration of results for elections is today and I am really nervous about it. Nervous is definitely a small word but I can't think about anything more.
Yesterday I even went to church to pray for it. I know it is a bit selfish. But going to church for a selfish reason is better than not at all going there.
" Please stand up as I say your name. Geremy Oakly, Anthony Kruger standing for post of President. Ms.Aniata for Sports captain, Jonah Willow contesting for Literary club captain and Ms. Paige, secretary for cultural department. I think these are all participants from this section. Please report to principal Grosvenor's office now and the other students in about ten minutes can head to Auditorium for announcement of results." The personal assistant of principal Grosvenor said.
All the participating candidates headed to the principal's office including me. I didn't know when or how I reached the office but when I got into my senses I was standing directly in front of Mr. Grosvenor.
I am so damm nervous.
He started " Good morning to all the contestants. I would like to congratulate each one of you for reaching till this stage of elections. You all should be proud of yourselves. May the best of the best wins."
He studied all of us , everyone nervous except Paige and Anthony. Paige because she already won and Anthony simply because he doesn't care. He is definitely participating because his parents wanted him to.
" Let's get moving and get over with this" Mr. Grosvenor said while standing from his chair. In a blink of an eye I see myself standing on the stage, winners of other categories being announced and given batches.
I didn't hear even a single word since the time I've been standing here. It's just that it is really important for me and I don't want it to be messed up.
The students are cheering for the one's winning. I want me to get applauded for the same. I want this so bad. This is really important for me. For my future.
All these thoughts vanished when I heard Mr. Grosvenor " And now it's time for the most prestigious award. There were a lot of students willing to get the position. But only two students Mr.Anthony kruger and Mr. Geremy Oakly made it till here. Not taking much of time, the winner is...."
I closed my eyes so hard hoping it is me.
Please be me
Geremy
Geremy
Why are you taking so long
Just say it
Say it damm it
The image of my dad and mom then my sister and then a light source flashed in my mind.
Please say Geremy
Geremy
Not Anthony
Please
" Anthony..."
Wait what???
" Anthony kruger. The school's president for the year. Congratulations. Very well deserved." He said while clapping his hands.
And my world collapsed. All the applause appeared as people shouting on me. Suddenly I felt no air in my lungs. Everything started spinning.
No university. No future. Me sitting in a grocery store counter, scanning bills. My parents throwing me out of the house. All life alone. A truck crushing me, leaving me behind, dying.
And then a pat at my shoulder. I turned and saw an empty hall. Nobody but a single person. I hoped a face that would soothe me but today the whole universe was against me as I saw the face which definitely is the last one I want to be facing.
" I'm really sorry you didn't win. But it was quite obvious about me winning." The most trash mouth of Anthony commented.
" Don't you even try. You really took the wrongest time to mess with me." I massaged my temple for a second. "You know what you don't deserve the position you got. You didn't even want to win. You never tried. You were not there while canvassing. You know why you just got it because your fuckin daddy is a trustee of the school." I said realising how badly I was frowning.
" Yeah!! You lose and now you're blaming my dad. So what if my dad is rich? Huh?I didn't choose to be born in his house. You are a loser and will always be one" he replied while faking a laugh.
" I feel pity for you. You're so blind. You don't know what you want and what you have. You don't know what it feels to not have the thing that you want so badly. You don't know value of things. You never lost something Anthony and that is the reason I hate you."
Anthony smirked. The smirk that can dig graves.
" What do you know about me? You don't know what I go through. Do you have an idea how my life is going? And about your hate. You don't hate me. You hate yourself. You hate that you are not rich and you can't be me..."
Adrenaline rushed through my body on hearing these words. As a result I punched him so hard on his nose. He was taken a back by the sudden action. I am so happy on seeing him bleed but my hand hurts so bad.
I shake my hand and while doing so I received a punch with same intensity as mine. Now I realise what Anthony felt. It hurts like it really hurts.
Anthony laughed on seeing me bleed and said "You happy now. Idiot"
I can't bear this creature anymore. I have to go away from his vicinity but this filthy snob will definitely hear a piece of advice from me.
" I wish only one thing for you Anthony . May you discover something you want so badly. Something that's important to you. You try to get it but you just can't have it. That's the time you will know what real life is."
I said and left him thinking. ——————————————————————— Thank you for reading. Next update will be soon. PEACE✌🏻!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
