Born 2006, F, from Lahore, PakistanHere's the story:
As Kaito walked back from school, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes were fixed on a girl standing at the edge of the bridge. She seemed to be staring into the void, her expression a mix of sadness and determination. Kaito's heart skipped a beat as he watched her take a deep breath, and then, in the blink of an eye, she jumped.
Kaito's instincts kicked in, and he sprinted towards the edge of the bridge, his eyes scanning the water below. But there was nothing. No ripples, no splashes, no sign of the girl. He stood there, frozen, wondering if it was all just his imagination.
As he turned to walk away, he noticed a bag on the bench nearby. He picked it up, and his fingers brushed against a diary inside. Curiosity got the better of him, and he sat down on the bench to read it.
The diary belonged to a girl named Rounho, a student in his own school. As Kaito delved into her writings, he discovered a life filled with pain and sorrow. Rounho's parents were constantly pressuring her to excel, her classmates bullied her mercilessly, and her so-called friends had abandoned her.
Kaito's eyes scanned the pages, and with each sentence, he felt like he was living Rounho's life. He remembered the times he had seen her in school, always sitting alone, always looking lost. He recalled the way she would smile faintly, trying to hide her tears.
As he read on, Kaito's mind was filled with questions. Why did Rounho feel so alone? Why did she think she had no one to turn to? And then, the answers started to emerge. Rounho's parents were never satisfied with her grades, her classmates made fun of her clothes and her hair, and her friends had betrayed her trust.
Kaito's eyes welled up with tears as he read the final entry. Rounho had written about how she felt like she was drowning in her own sorrow, like the world was crushing her. And then, she had written those haunting words: "I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of living."
Kaito's grip on the diary tightened as he felt a wave of emotions wash over him. He remembered the girl on the bridge, the way she had jumped into the unknown. He realized that Rounho had been screaming for help, but no one had listened.
As he closed the diary, Kaito felt a sense of responsibility wash over him. He knew he had to do something, to make sure that no one else felt like Rounho did. He took a deep breath, and his eyes scanned the bridge once more. This time, he saw it differently. He saw a cry for help, a desperate attempt to escape the pain.
Kaito's heart heavy with emotion, he whispered, "Rounho, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry we didn't see you, didn't hear you." He paused, taking a moment to collect his thoughts. "But I promise, I'll make sure your story doesn't go unheard. I'll make sure someone listens."
With the diary clutched tightly in his hand, Kaito stood up, ready to face the challenges ahead. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to make a difference, to be the friend Rounho had needed.
