Posted at: 3:24 AM HAPPINESS 15year old Nicholas does not know what is the definition of happiness. He thinks that when people is afraid of him, and is willing to do anything for him, that is happiness. Well, he is not to be blamed for all, his parents passed away when he was only 3years old leaving him with nothing to his name. He was sent to a run-down orphanage where the people there care little about the orphans. That was how he grew up to be a mean, cold bully. “Get out of the way, idiots!” Nicholas demanded. Everyone down the school hallway hold their breath as the Fantastic Four strolled along. The moment they left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and started whispering. That was the power of the Fantastic Four. Nicholas together with three of his best buddies formed a group who sweared to torture anyone who got in their way. And aren’t they ruthless, beating up a small young boy for stepping on their toes. “Hi Nicholas !” Jessica waved. Nicholas grinned as soon as he saw her. Jessica was another orphan from the same orphanage and had become best friends with Nicholas ever since an accident where he saved her. “Making your rounds again?” Jessica teased him. Nicholas shrugged and replied,” as usual…” Jessica sighed as she stared at Nicholas. “What?” he asked knowingly. “You know you are a good person so stop acting like a bully! You were the one who saved me during that accident yet u claim otherwise. Why?” Nicholas chewed his lips nervously. He hated this type of questioning as only Jessica had the authority to do so. “I don’t know. Just…let me be, all right ?” he stormed off to his seat just as the teacher arrived. “The school is organizing a trip to the old folks home this Saturday. Is anyone interested? We need at least five per class ! “ the teacher announced. The class groaned as they heard the news. A few hands went up and there were two more needed. Jessica thought it would be a good idea to go but she wanted someone to accompany her. She glanced around the class trying to find a suitable person. And when her eyes fell on Nicholas who was yawning away, a plan began to form in her head… “Teacher!” Jessica waved her hands frantically, trying to get her teacher’s attention. The teacher nodded her head and she began speaking,: I would like to volunteer but if only Nicholas come with me.” Nicholas ‘s head jerk up so fast that it almost break. Murmurs and whisperings echo around the class as they discussed. Nicholas glared hard at Jessica only to get back her pleading puppy eyes with so much care and love in them that made it impossible for him to reject. “Fine !” he growled at the teacher. Gasps and sharp intakes of breath could be heard around the class and when the bell rang, the news spread like wild fire around the entire school. “Why did u do that !” Nicholas was trying to lower down his volume as he yelled at Jessica. She skipped beside him as she tried to explain, ”you should socialize more !” Nicholas rolled his eyes as he tried again, ”but this is horrible !” Jessica grinned happily and shrugged. All she replied was,” see you tomorrow !” Nicholas sighed and slump against the school walls, wishing tomorrow would never come… “See, you came !” Jessica shouted as she welcomed Nicholas at the old folks home. Nicholas grumbled as he was led to the home with other volunteers. Together, they fed the old folks, chatted with them, and even performed for them ! That entire trip the smile on Nicholas’s face was no longer a plastered one. It was a genuine smile that came straight from the heart. It was then that he understood that happiness is not what others can give you but what you yourself can give others. With a light heart he went and found Jessica and unexpectedly embrace her with tears. “Thank you so much for your help all these years along.” He said and sniffed at the same time. Jessica blinked a few times before awakening. She smiled and replied, ”I am glad you understand. This trip was not wasted then.” Nicholas nodded and from that day onwards Fantastic Four was dispatched and he led a happy life, helping the people around him who needed it. -CHRIS(:
