Natalie could not remember when she started behaving like that. Everything probably accumulated over time.

For instance, Madison would call her vulgar names since Natalie was a child.

Perhaps, it was the other time when her father gave her some money because he knew that Madison was not nice to her. Hence, he asked Natalie to save the money and spend it wisely. She kept the money in a small box and would only use it when she needed to. Unfortunately, Madison found the money shortly after.

Natalie explained that her father gave her the money. However, Madison beat Natalie up and made her kneel in front of her school with a sign that read 'thief' on her chest.

Back then, Natalie was young and she did not understand things nor fight Madison.

The students and teachers who passed by pointed their fingers at Natalie. She was traumatized in her elementary school.

After that incident, she earned a new nickname, 'thief.

Every time a student lost something, someone would exclaim in an exaggerated fashion, "Search Natalie's belongings. She might've stolen it."

Perhaps, she lost her confidence ever since that day and her low self-esteem was deep-rooted in her heart.

No matter how cheerful she was or how hard she tried to hide it, her low self-esteem would torment her.

After a few moments, Natalie suddenly took a deep breath.

She should not continue to drown in her own past.

She needed to be confident just like Tobias told her to. She needed to be confident!

Natalie decided to set a small goal so she could gain her confidence eventually and walk out of her past.

She did not want to be pessimistic. Her life was great, hence she should not let her past trouble her.

Without warning, Natalie opened the window.

A gust of wind blew her hair away from her face.

Natalie raised her hand and held it around her lips. She shouted, "Natalie, you need to be confident. Do you hear me? You need to be confident! Natalie!" After shouting at the sky, Natalie felt so much better.
