AreenaAreena walked humming, knowing her mom was not at home, so she didn't have to bother. She hoped to finish dinner on time, so her mother wouldn't notice her being late.Yesterday she told her about staying for an hour more, for her punishment but it's almost 5 pm now, she'll be home by 5 pm and that's two additional hours.She walked, hitting a stone or two by the way, and living in her thoughts when she heard a hoarse voice calling from behind.The guy was driving in a black car, wearing black sunglasses and a black suit. She couldn't tell what he was saying but she read his lips and heard."Get inside the car, miss." The man in glasses ordered looking at her. Huh?What.Did she hear him well? Why would she do that? This is how people usually get kidnapped, right? Her heart pounded as she walked fast ignoring the man hoping he'll leave."Miss, my master, offered to drop you off." The man restated, in his calm voice.Oh, that's what he said. Nothing about him forcing her insid
AreenaEd was sitting on the desk beside her eating his lunch quietly not minding her stealing glances at him from the edge of her eyes.She needs him to complete the sentence he was about to say, to give her the formula to solve this stupid equation. The assignment would be due later on during the day and now she ruined it the only chance of her getting it.She didn't expect to see Ed there and when she did, she thought she was daydreaming as she used to but when she actually saw it was him, it scared the hell out of her.She had to muster the courage and asked him to help her, because if she didn't ask for his help, the physics teacher would be the end of her.Again. She was out of words.She doesn't know how to start a conversation, afraid it won't go right and if she talks to him how she used to in her last life it'll be awkward, she can't even do it, letting out a deep sigh, she will earn a glance from him.Now, is her chance."Umm .... can you please ..." She started trailing w
AreenaAreena opened her eyes slowly, her face facing the window as the sun kissed her face making it hard to adjust her eyes to her light. She sucked her head in Foxy tummy– her orange plushie with cat face."Morning Foxy." She inhaled the orange and sandalwood scent from Fluffy, the zesty citrus scent soothing her."It's gonna be a great weeeeeekend."She squealed, jerked her head up while sitting down on the bed then fell into the plushie again."The best days of the week are weekends!!"It's everyone's best, it is to her best too, not that she hates studies but because on weekends she has the day all to herself.No school. No unnecessary dressing up.Not scared of being late. No extra eyes gawking at her. No bullying. No disturbing lens. No binding herself in ropes and her mom got to returning from work soonest!She has available food– thanks to mom's hard work. And the mountain of books under her bed. She actually organized them neatly in the drawer under her bed because she
"Why must weekends have to end?"Areena huffed wrapping the warashi tapes upon her chest. After the incident, she decided to avoid being girly and anything cute. She used to wear baggy, dull colors and she never follows any alley again. She prefers to walk for hours than to follow the shortcut alley. Scared something like that might happen again.Her chest is rather busty, having a petite body. And thanks to these tapes they keep her moderate. And out of attention. The last time she wore a bra was definitely back in the day of the incident. Three years back.Her mother didn't question her or go against it wearing it, if it gave her strength again. She spent weeks in her room and never went to the doorstep. When it was time to resume school, she decided to go for a new look.She grabbed Foxy that was laying in her bed."I hope you find a space in your heart to forgive me Foxx." She sighs, hugging the plushie."I never did come back the next day, Fox, or any day after."A single tear
AreenaIt was closing time, and she headed to the library, while the girls approached Ed to teach them the assignment. She left him surrounded by many classmates, mostly girls.But as expected no one dares to approach her with their assignments. And the glaring only gets worse. She expected all of these and sat calmly at the desk pretending she didn't see or hear them.Meagan didn't talk to her in class. So, she thought the best thing to do is to create a lesson book for Meagan. That'll help her with her studies and would save her from their classmates' hatred.She entered the library slowly, forcing her legs forward, her heart was pounding, and now that Ed was not there, she was scared of what the Bullies might do to her this time. Thank God, nobody approached her during lunch. But now is the right time to do anything they like. She wished Ed would finish with the girls soon and come to her savior–his mere presence is her salvation.No, to come to the library. She meets Ponytails
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
