Angel's Work

I packed up the last sets of my clothes in the large suitcase and zipped it up securely. I placed the suitcase with the rest of my stuff at the corner of my room and went to the bathroom to wash up. On the way I opened the curtains and let the sunlight fill the room, it was early morning and a good day. Today was my last day at home, I wasn't feeling remotely bad about leaving my dear big sister and drunken mother behind. They were better off without me and I would be living a good life in their absence. The day I got my University of Texas acceptance letter was the day I found a source of freedom, it was a key to get away from them and fast. Mom didn't care, like I had expected. She was rather focused on her bottle of beer than to even congratulate me for getting into a good college. Stella, my sister was a bit concerned about the food arrangements but showed little to no emotions when I made her sigh my dorm faci

After a lot of yawns and shorts naps in  the air conditioned hall, Orientation ended and everyone rushed out of their seats as if it was on fire, A common act to show the appreciation of bells and end of class by students to the professor's. Irene stayed with me as I fixed my hair that had fallen out of my ponytail and got rid of my sleep, that professor was boring on a whole new level. He truly was a masterpiece. We left last, Irene and I had managed to take so much time to get out of the hall that even the hallways were now almost empty. If it weren't daylight I would be afraid of ghosts of past students lurking in the corners having a gala time, simply because I was afraid of the dark and liked light more. "Want to grab something to eat?" I asked her, my growling stomach added to the desperation in my voice and after having a good laugh at me she agreed to go to the cafeteria with me. 

"Suits you," I whispered quietly to myself, I've actually never heard that name anywhere but it suits his face and personality perfectly. "What?" He asked. Now he was sitting up on the bed with hands on either sides and head down. He looked up for a second and then dropped again. He looked tired and like those gangsters who threaten people for money by barging in their homes, only gangsters weren't as gorgeous as him. I extinguished that though as soon as it entered by brain and quickly thought of something to blurted out, "Now that we are past the stage of knowing each other's names, I think it's time we settle other issues." "Like?" I smiled, "Rules." "What's up with you and your rules?" He made a stupid face that showed his distaste for regulations. Well, the world wouldn't be functioning without some sort of control, my roomie. Rebellious peop

There wasn't much to say after we left the dorm, it was late afternoon so the hallways were empty and quiet. Good, no one will see me with him. Don't get me wrong, I'm not embarrassed to be seen with him. Infact he's a sight to see but I have a boyfriend and he's a popular boy about whom rumours spread faster than wild fire. I know I was just avoiding the inevitable but let's live in peace as long as we can, shall we? Since I didn't have a car and Laurent didn't object we had to take the bus to the local market place that had good places to eat. Assuming he was following after me I passed the gates and started walking towards the closest bus stop. A loud honk startled me and I turned around just in time to see a cool car stop right in front of me. The shiny white surface of the car looked so expensive and new that it could be considered a crime to touch it. The window r

Four days passed and I am not ready for classes to start. Bed sounded much more comfortable than desks and the pillow did more good to my head than the boring lectures. But Laurent had different ideas, for the past two hours he has been bustling around like a bee getting ready for the first day of University. "Aelin! If you don't wake up in the next five minutes you will be late."I chose not to respond and snuggled deeper into the blanket that provided me protection from all things evil, it was a perfect day to sleep in and do nothing but it was also the day to get out and attend class and make new friends. How nice. "Aelin!" He shouted in my ear and I screamed in fright, bouncing up on the bed. Laurent chuckled and went back to fixing his hair leaving me there to calm my poor heart and take a breath. My ears were ringing from the assault on them, I will have pay him back for the unwanted favour s
