The Flashback
When my father died our family went into turmoil. My mother stopped being my mother, hiding deep into her shell trying to protect herself from the outside world. She seemed to have forgotten about me ... leaving me to fend for myself.
One night, about a week after my fathers death, I was looking through our cupboards and found there was no food to eat. I was starving, but talking to my mother was of no use. She just sat on her bed and stared at the wall. I'd had enough and decided to take the matters into my own hands. I'd been walking the streets for hours, grovelling and begging for someone to offer me a bite to eat ... but so far, nothing. It wasn't that people wouldn't help, in district 12 people just couldn't help.
I was weak and tired so decided to rest up against a tree. It Unfortunately it was a tree outside the Agreste's house ... or in district 12 terms, mansion. It began to rain hard and I awakened from my nap. Suddenly I heard shouting and banging. I looked over at the mansion to see a beautiful blonde lady hitting her son round the back of the head. I recognised the boy from school. He always reminded me of Rapunzel; beautiful blonde hair and big green eyes. I saw him walk over to the bin and open the lid.
"Next time you decide to burn the bread I won't be as kind Adrien! That's 3 mistakes this week." She strode up behind him and smacked his head on last time, sending the poor boy into the mud. "Now put that disgusting filth in the bin!" He began to tear the bread and throw it to a couple of ducks leisurely walking past in the downpour. Then he turned his head and locked his eyes onto mine. He must of told from my demeanour that I was not in a good situation. He turned away and continued to throw bread to the ducks.
Posh kids! They have no idea how the rest of us are living!
Unexpectedly something hit my leg. I quickly looked up to where the boy with sunshine hair was standing. He was no longer there. I then looked at what hit me and found two loaves of bread, barely burnt and perfectly edible.
This boy just saved my life. I owe him everything ...
