I know I'm useless

'I know I am fit for nothing. I know I'm useless. I do not want my family to remind me again and again. Is it my fault that I am jobless? I attended so many interviews in these past two years. But what can I do if I keep on rejected?

Oh god, can't you see my sufferings? For the past three months I am asking you to take my life. You are not even fulfilling my wish to die when I made it on my birthday. Why are you not listening to my requests? Why are you keep on neglecting me?

I want to die. But I do not want to commit suicide. But I want to die.

At least make me disappear from this damn world'

Suddenly Catherine saw a sudden flash in front of her which gave her an unpleasant tingling sensation causing to squint her eyes.

When Catherine opened her eyes, she saw herself standing in front of three students. A cute girl and two tall handsome boys.

But wait, why are they looking at her weirdly?

Catherine tried to walk away but suddenly she came to realize that she was in an unfamiliar street. Just a couple of minutes ago Catherine was ten feet away to reach her house but now she was standing in an unfamiliar street with these three kids who was staring at Catherine like they saw an alien.

"Are you okay?" One of the boys asked Catherine.

Catherine was almost squealed inwardly before mentally slapping herself for gawking at the student who was at least five to six years younger than her.

"Her cheeks are red. I think she's having a fever" the pretty young girl touched Catherine's forehead to check her temperature.

Catherine quickly moved away from her, "Little girl, I'm fine. You can go back to the school. You'll get punished if you get late"

Somewhat Catherine felt her voice became low and timid. Is it because she was sad a while ago?

"Little girl? Are you calling me a little girl?" The girl pointed her index finger at herself in disbelief.

"I told you to drink lot of milk. You ignored me now see she's calling you little girl because you're short" another boy teased her.

She's not short, she's taller than Catherine and shorter than these two boys. Catherine can't believe that the school girls are taller than her. Catherine thought she should have drank lots of milk when she was younger.

"Hey I'm not short. And I am not a little girl. You're short and you're the little girl" she poked Cath forehead with her index finger.

Catherine was annoyed by her poking. She must be a high school student. Catherine cannot believe she's talking to an elder in this way.

Kids these days do not know how to respect elders.

"Did you look at her eyes? She is glaring at me?" The girl gasped in surprise.

"It's because you're poking her" the guy who asked Catherine whether she was okay told her to stop poking Catherine and bend towards to Catherine's height, "Are you lost? Do you want me to take me to your home?"

'What the? What was he trying to say? I'm what four years old to get lost in the street?'

"In my opinion I think she ran away from her home" another guy looked at Catherine up and down.

"BaiLing, I think you're right. I am also thinking the same. What are you saying Qing Ze?" The girl turned to Qing Ze.

"Ning Xuan, I don't think-"

Catherine cut him off "Okay, stop analyzing me. Don't you think this is not the proper way to talk to an elder? First, I did not run away from my home. Second, I am not a little girl. Third, you're just two inches taller than me" Catherine pointed at Ning Xuan.

Suddenly Bai Ling started to laugh, "I think she gone nuts"

Catherine really want to smack his head. How can he laugh at her?

"Bai Ling stop" Qing Ze turned to Catherine, "Sorry if we offended you. Tell your address we will take you home"

Catherine felt why was he treating her like four years old? Anyway, it will not harm her to walk with handsome a guy. When Catherine told him her address, he frowned?

"Did you know the address she said?" Qing Ze asked BaiLing who shook his head.

"Hey kids, stop acting. I was just ten feet away to reach my home. Suddenly a flash came, wait it must be a car light. Why are they wasting the battery on the daylight. And then I was standing her in front of you" They looked confused when they heard what Catherine said. Even Catherine felt weird when she said that.

"What car light? When we came out of the house, we saw you were already standing here like a statue without breathing. We are living here for so many years. We never heard the address which you said." Ning Xuan said to Catherine.

Catherine scoffed, "Kids, are you kidding? I was living here for past twenty-seven years. I know every corner of my neighborhood. And you guys must be a foreigner by the way you look. Your slang is very good" Catherine showed her thumbs up to appreciate them. They are speaking her native language so fluently without any mistakes.

"Are you blind? in what way we are looking like a foreigner to you? Aren't we living in Z country? And what's with the slang?" Ning Xuan crossed her hands.

"Did you just call us kids? How dare you? You must be at least two years younger than us" Bai Ling poked Catherine's forehead which made her to take a two step back. Catherine gaze landed on a glass door which showed her reflection on it.

Catherine eyes widened in shock. Is that her? Why was she looking ten years younger than her usual self.

Wait, what did she just said heard? Z country? Isn't it her neighboring country?

'What's happening here? Suddenly why I am in my neighboring country looking ten years younger.

I remember I prayed to disappear. Did god really heard me this time?

Then what I am doing here? or I'm hallucinating?'

Catherine couldn't think anymore because she felt her vision got blurry and her body fell on the ground.
