A soft melody broke the silence inside a small apartment. Its narrow walls are condemned and the once pure white paint becomes brown stained. Cracks and ruptures decorated the ceiling and panels. Pieces of clothing littered the battered wooden floor. No furniture, no television, no refrigerator, or even a bed.
One can assume that this must be an abandoned flat where people can freely use it for sexual intercourse and pleasure. Yet on the floor lied a young man. Eyes struggling against the blinding light due to the inadequacy of cover from the broken windows. He stifles a yawn before stretching his thin body as a cat would do after a long nap. But no, Kalen could never have a good sleep. It is because of the multiple jobs that he has been juggling and the nightmares that would visit him during the night.
He reaches for his phone beside him and turns the ringtone off. Grunting, he sleepily yanks the ragged blanket away- the only thing that keeps him warm at night. Kal then sluggishly went to what it seems was a bathroom with a single sink and toilet squeezed inside. He went inside then eyed himself in the small, cracked mirror before splashing his face with the cold water from the sink. "Looks shit" he mumbled under his breath while harshly wiping away the leftover dirt and grime that has stayed in his face overnight.
Kal never thought of himself as someone attractive nor smart. He has a height of 5'7. A plain black hair that reaches his shoulder hemming his thin face. His once-bright honey eyes are now dim. His cherubic cheeks were now gone replacing sunken ones. His skin is deathly pale. His lips are cracked and extremely dry.
He is extremely thin. He is extremely UGLY.
Eyebrows furrowing, he turned away from the very object that shows how utterly pathetic and empathizing his state is. He bitterly went back to his bedroom which is composed mainly of the floor. His lack of finances is the main reason why he is in this situation. He grabbed a few clothing on the floor including black slacks and a white blouse then putting them over himself. He tied his hair into an awful ponytail and put a thick-rimmed glasses over his face which helps obscure the view of the people from his eyes. He snatches his keys and phone before leaving his home.
No.
Before leaving his apartment sounds better,
because he never had a home.
His lips form into a sad smile as he walks down the pavement. Head down to avoid eye contact with someone as possible. An odd habit he has established over the years when he is in public. Whether he is on the street, subway, cafe, or work. After all, it is better not to entice unwanted attention.
Especially from them.
Especially from his old pack.
Kal can't help but jerk at the thought of facing them again. He is already contented with his poor life. Or that's what he thought. He was brought back to reality when he felt a small jab on his bony shoulder followed by an extremely painful feeling on his left foot. He is pretty sure that two of his toenails would be discolored by now and he could only pray that none of those two would be broken. Kal can't help but let out a loud yowl that was mix with someone's shriek.
Unfortunately, while he was lost on his train of thoughts, he accidentally bumps shoulder with someone resulting to which the girl accidentally step on his foot with her 5-inch heels as she tried to regain her balance.
"How Dare You!" The girl pointed her perfectly manicured fingernails on his face while throwing insults to him. However, Kal wasn't listening anymore. Not only that he felt pain but also the nauseating feeling from the stranger's strong perfume and pungent smell she was releasing in the air. "She's only a beta yet she thinks highly of herself, " Kal thought as he limps away from her.
He can't help but chuckle under his breath as he remembered the way the woman's face scrunched up which is less pleasing to the eyes.
This day is gonna be tough.
