Down the Rabbit Hole

Pit-pat-pit-pat-pit-pat-pit-pat.Pitter-patters of rain, I suppose since it was cold as well, had woken me up from my deep slumber. Despite being awake, I refused to open my eyes. Laziness kicking me around, mostly on my head, which has been throbbing. I don’t know for how long I had slept but I can tell that it was a bit long now since my arms and neck feels sore.So, it is raining, the rumble that echoed told me so. My brows twitched at the sound of the knock on my door and them opening and closing the knob. Light footsteps careful not to awaken me, and comforting crackles had surrounded the room briefly and it had gotten warmer than it was earlier.The person that had entered my room continued to wander my room. I felt them walk near me. Shuffling around something before I felt the presence just beside me. “My Lady, it’s time for you to wake up from your afternoon slumber” the soft tone, carefully not to anger me, full of respect, rang in my ears.Should I open my eyes now? I battl

I was dumbfounded, standing outside the office. I smiled and nodded at Mr. Lee while I reached for the papers and bowed before walking out. But as soon as I got out, I knew I was fucked. No, we are, not just me but James and Ciara as well. I sigh before starting to walk.Students are walking in the same direction as I am. Everyone walking outside the campus. As soon as I reached the bus stop, I stepped on the bus, I paid, and sat on one of the remaining seats. I opened my tab to take notes and reminders to as what I need to do tonight and tomorrow. If the proposal went well, we would have more time to gather documents and research for our paperwork.I nodded to myself, adjusting the headphones before tapping the stop button and getting off the bus. I entered the building where I live, greeted the ladies in the lobby, and went straight to the elevator. I stood in silence, tapping on my side, growing impatient each second the lift stops by a floor.I sprinted off as soon as the doors op

“We used one of the studies that studied both ethnology and ethnography, we found some pieces of evidence relating to religion, those, that are not included in their previous research but can be considered and proven, those all occurred in European countries,” I answered him briefly about the topic we chose. “That’s why you’re going to do it early” he asserted.“Well, yes, since it won’t be an easy task, proving that there is more to that study is harder than making another one, but seemed to be easy as well,” I told him. He nodded, pondering about the study we are proposing to him. “I know a library that can help you with this, you won’t mind if I accompany you, right?” he muttered, more silent this time.I frowned at him and took glances at other students who are on the second floor as well. “You know that teacher-student relationship is banned and we can be both expelled, well me, and you can lose your job, you accompanying me to that library is basically helping us as well in our

The three of us ate at the usual place that we go every time we can’t choose any new restaurants. It’s been hours and the night has come deep and the stars reappeared as we left the restaurant. “At last, weekend, I’m so glad that we don’t have schedules every weekend,” Ciara sighs in relief while we walk to the bus stop. “But we have tons to do because of a certain someone, how is that a happy thing?” James rebutt her and I roll my eyes. “But we aren’t going to campus to see certain people” I looked at James and raised a brow at him and he only shrugged, agreeing, nodding at what I said. The bus arrived and both of them got in. I told them earlier that I’ll take a taxi to go to my parents house. I waved them goodbye and waited for the bus to drive away until I couldn't see it anymore. I stood there for a couple of minutes until a car stopped in front of me and the driver got out. “Sorry I took too long, I got us drinks” Xian smiled at me as he opened the passenger seat door for me. “

The drive on the way to the library was the average distance. It wasn’t that far and it wasn’t that near either. Me and Xian passed by a lot of shops, we had few stops due to the traffic and had one drive-thru while enjoying the music that was softly playing in our background. Soon, we reached the place that Xian was talking about. There are only a few buildings and the place seemed peaceful and calm. Fitting for a café place. He turned and parked the car on the available space that he found before turning the engine off and let out a sigh and turned his head to me with a wide smile plastered on his face. “We might wanna wear this, for some precautions” I look at his hand and see a mask. I let out a small laugh, “talk about no one is going to see or even notice us” I mutter as I wear the mask. I look up at him and playfully roll his eyes at me, his eyes were turning half-circles, letting me know that he is smiling underneath the mask that hid half of his face. We got out of the car a
