It was Saturday morning, and Areena woke up to the sound of her alarm clock buzzing near her ear.She hurried and switched it off."Uuggh." She groaned, rubbing her eyes."Can't I sleep the whole day?" She whined. She set the alarm at nine on weekends. But she wants to sleep more.She slept late reading an old Novel she used to read before. She read it more than ten times and still loves rereading it. She can't get enough."Forever Mine." She sighed, closing her eyes."I wish to be his forever." She mumbled and groggily sat up, rubbing her eyes, trying to shake off any sign of sleep. "Yooosh, it's a new day."She jumps out of bed, hoping to start her morning routine, but her tummy rumbles. Foods first. Work later! While making herself breakfast, she noticed that her mother had forgotten to take her ID card to the hospital. As Areena recalled, in her mother's hospital, each nurse must have one in order to have one before they enter the surgery room.And she bet her mother would d
Areena was sitting on the three-seater couch, sipping coffee alone in the early hours of the night. She hugged herself, even with the warm black turtleneck long-sleeve body-hug, soft cotton orange leggings and earmuffs the cold December breeze makes her shiver. She took another sip of her coffee then kept it on the center table looking at her phone screen.9:50 pm.Her eyes were glued on her phone, her lockscreen was a picture of her and a man, both smiling warmly at the camera. She sighed and kept the phone away, her gaze turning to the window, she stared at the street.Snow falls silently and gently on the street like diamonds, each snowflakes shimmered in the moonlight, making a white blanket of snow covering the trees, ground, and houses, indeed a beautiful day to be with someone you love.She heaved deeply and took another sip of the dark coffee she was holding and kept the steamy cup of coffee on the center table near her.And gulping the bitter-sweet liquid down her throat, and
The sun rays peek from the glass window, falling on her face, the sun kisses lightly on her cheeks, the warmth waking her up.She forgot to pull the blinds. yesterday before she slept.Yesterday?When did she get back to the room? She didn't remember going to the room, did she sleepwalk?The hot breath falling gently on her shoulder, hands on her tummy, and with legs crossing hers, making it obvious.A smile curved from the side of her lips as snuggled in between his arms, coming face to face with him. He looks so charming even when he sleeps.Brushing his bangs away from his face, his sleek hair came in contact with her soft fingers making her whole body shivers. She traces his face with her eyes going from his brows, to his long white lashes, chiseled jaw, and thin peach lips.They stayed like that for some moment, he was deeply in his sleep without feeling her eyes staring at him. She came to her senses when her stomach rumbled, that was when she realized she went to sleep without
Areena opened her eyes slowly, blinking them several times to get a clearer view as the bright light blinded her, she shut them close and opened them again to get a clear view of her surroundings.White curtains, the patient monitor beeping, and the omniscient smell of antiseptic, where is she? What happened to her? Her whole body feels numb. She closed her eyes, heaving slowly."Ed, drive... Drive."Before she closed her mouth the window glass splattered all over the car as the truck crashed into their car, her left hand felt numb as she heard the sound of her rib cracking, while her head hit the truck that was half inside their car.Her mind went back to the horrible event that happened. She opened her eyes quickly wanting to escape from the pain and horror, panting like a wolf. The machine next to her started beeping louder than before.Ed? Where is Edward? What happened to him? Is he alive?Her heart beats fast, and her breathing seizes. Making the machine beeps even louder.A sli
Areena was in a deep black space, all she could see was darkness, she felt pain in every inch of her body, her heart feels like it's been stabbed with a dagger and the dagger keeps thrusting further into her heart making more pain and suddenly it makes a huge blast, bursting blood and pieces of flesh everywhere the blackness.Areena jerked from the nightmare that she was having in the middle of the day, sweat washed over her body. She was laying down on a bench, under a tree in their school backyard. The cold wind blows, making her regain consciousness, and starts to regain composure. And analyzing the place.Where is she? She twinkled her eyes sitting upright, heaving, and her head felt dizzy for a moment. she blinked and rubbed her eyes. Taking in the surroundings, the place looks familiar.This is the backyard of Elite High school, the favorite spot where she sits and eats her lunch every day. Alone.What in the world is she doing here? Her eyes traveled to her thighs and feet,
Areena walked to the gates, as she remembered some old memories of the school.Lonely, hurtful memories.She doesn't have any friends, so she is always seen alone, no one wants to interact with her. If they don't bully her or speak badly about her, they maintain their space.Knowing the situation well, she doesn't like to interact with them either. She gave them space, ate lunch in the garden, using the toilet during classes to avoid being in contact with them. And she never participates in any school activities that would make her stand out.She comes to school early every day, studies, and heads home as soon as her classmates and many students have been driven back home by their drivers.Everyone in the school had a personal driver, so the school Bus doesn't function anymore because nobody uses it.They closed by 3: pm. She walked down the quiet street, following the same route she used to follow seven years ago.The street near her school was quiet with few expensive cars passing b
EdwardIt was closing time, the students were out of their class chattering as they walked to the school gate.Edward, a seventeen-year-old, tall, with long legs, his white sun-kissed, walks calmly amidst them, hands in his pockets as he listens to his two friends bickering. "Ed, back me on this."Elliot, the shortest among the three, being 5'9ft, his white hair was in messy bangs, and his shirt was not tucked in, he nudged Ed with his elbow to grab his attention."Who do you think teaches better?""Hmm?" Ed asked to pretend he wasn't hearing their argument because he had no intention of answering.He huffed jumping on him. "Who teaches best Among English teachers or Biology teacher?" He chuckled "Don't tell me you've traveled into your dream world again?" Elliot huffed."Don't know, I read ahead of class so...""Yeah, yeah so, you can't tell." Elliot rolls his eyes, making a face."You're such a killjoy." He added while Ed was walking unbothered."Liot, leave Ed out of it, you kno
It rained during the night which makes the weather suitable for sleep, making both the mother and daughter overslept. Areena usually leaves home around 7: 00 to find a taxi to drop her at school. And by school by 7: 30 or before that."Reeena, wake up." Her mother called from the door."We'll be late."She added, before going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Areena always cooks them breakfast, being an early riser, she wakes up early, prepares them breakfast, and packs their lunch before she goes to school early. "What got into me?"She jolted out of bed. Check the time it is 7:30 already. She entered the bathroom fast, had a quick shower, and changed into her uniform in just a few minutes."Hurry, I packed your lunch."Her mother called, and she finally finished and came out of the room by 7:40. "Morning mom, I'll just eat at lunch."She greeted her mother, grabbing her lunch and putting it in her bag and she was about to go. "Morning, here, take this and eat in the taxi, I p
