'Elisia!' Someone called my name. I opened my eyes and I have to close them again because it was so bright. I slowly opened them again this time to adjust and the first thing I saw is a clear blue sky. So blue, so familiar.
It was a very beautiful view. When was the last time I tried to look up in the sky? I think it was back then when I was still a student...
'Elisia' A familiar voice called again and I turned my head to look at him. When I saw the person calling my name, My brows furrowed. He's a young boy.
So familiar.
I stared at him and the more I look at him, the more I found similarities with that person. He looks just like him when we were students.
'Elisia, wake up, we have to go to class.' He said and help me up.
??
I was very confused. The boy in question just held me by the hand and dragged me. Like we are in a hurry.
He's wearing a very familiar uniform, Isn't this the boy's uniform when I was still in school? I slowly looked at myself and I was wearing the same type of uniform for girls. Isn't this the exact same design as my uniform before? I looked at the boy dragging me again.
Impossible.
'Alex?' I called him and the boy looked back at me.
'Yes?' His confirmation answer made me dumbfounded.
ALEX
Is he really the Alex that I know?
The boy - - whom I gave my heart to?
We stop in front of the classroom and Alex came near me. He suddenly flicked my forehead.
'Elisia, stop daydreaming.' He said.
The feeling of longing, devastation, sadness, helplessness and even happiness all crept inside of me that I cannot contain and rivers to tears fell out from my eyes that made the boy in front of me panicked.
'Elisia! what happened?' Alex yelled and suddenly the glass window beside us opened and a couple of our classmates saw I was crying and teased Alex.
'Hey Alex! you made your girlfriend cry!'
'Tssk Tssk, you're a bully Alex' Some of them say as Alex tried to calm me down
'Did that hurt?' He asked thinking he hurt me by his flick and he caressed my forehead gently.
'I'm sorry, I'm not gonna do it again' He said tenderly that made me cry more, that sweet voice that I missed so much. His actions with care for me. His kindness and humbleness.
The man I loved so much, more than me is in front of me.
But this person in front of me is also someone I will not be able to attain.
This hopeless love of mine.
>........<
The teacher in front of the class looks familiar.
The classroom looks familiar.
The faces around me look very familiar.
I can't be wrong. I did really turn back in time.
The time I cherished the most, The time where I wished I could go back to.
And that wish came true.
The teacher was talking but my mind is flying.
I raised my hand and all eyes are on me.
'Miss, can I go to the restroom?' I asked and the teacher just nods her head and I stood and went out.
I did not just go out of the room but I also went out of the building.
I looked at the building, It is the same as I remember. I run as fast as I could towards the places that I remembered. The cafeteria, the gym, the school grounds, it is all the same.
I sat on the bench with heavy panting.
What do I do?
I sat there for hours, just thinking
and thinking
and crying.
I looked up at the sky that is slowly turning orange, a sign that the sun is about to go down, I don't know how many hours I stayed there but I have to go back. I made sure to ready myself before I walk away.
My feet took me back to the building and while walking, I saw just a few students going home. I was by the door of the classroom and I found Alex chatting with his friends.
Alex saw me and smile brightly, he was sitting at my table and when his friends saw me, they flashed a smile and they dispersed.
'Elisia, you're so brave to cut classes' He teasingly said to me, I made a small smile and walk towards my seat to get my bag but before I could get it, Alex grabbed my bag and I looked up at him. He said we'll walk home together so I have no escape.
We're walking home with a beautiful orangey sky, The sun is setting and there are only a few people walking then Alex spoke 'Alright. Tell me what's going on? you are acting not yourself Elisia, is there any problem?' He asked.
I told him everything's alright but since he is the Alex I know, he was not convinced so I told him,
'My period came' And I witnessed how red his face became.
'We are here'Alex said and I looked up at the beautiful mansion house in front of us.Wrong, rather a mansion. An enormous white palace-like place.Oh yeah right.It's the house he assumed wasmyhome whichIdidn't deny.'Yup. thank you for walking me back, see you tomorrow.'and I waved him goodbye, he said he wants to see me in but I told him I'll see him off first and he reluctantly went back t
I stopped in front of the lake near the village. It was breathtakingly beautiful.I let out a bitter smile. I last saw this beautiful scenery when I sneakingly went out to meet Alex here. That's when we discovered how pretty it is during sunrise.In my past life, Alex was so innocent and kind that he forgave me with my lies. He said he loved me because of who I am and he forgives me before breaking up with me because he has to leave going abroad.His family knew of my relationship with Alex so they decided for him to live far away from me. He doesn't want me to suffer so he decided to separate and I think that was the time I offered him my all.He took my heart and soul away with him.
It's been a month and I had lots of fun.I was back in the days where it was just me and Alex and my friends. I'm trying to make the best out of it.We are in the classroom and the teacher announced that we are going to go hiking and everyone was so happy and excited. We have to ask permission because we are staying overnight in the mountains.I remembered this.In my last life, I nearly died here because I nearly fell down the cliff. Some girls that don't like me thought of an evil plan of scaring me that nearly made my life at risk. Good thing I have myknightsas I call them.
While I'm talking with Becky, someone knocked on the door and it opened. We were surprised to see Ms. Minchin. I saw how her brows met when she saw our positions.'What's happening here?' she asked and Becky quickly explained that something just caught her eye. hmm, what a clever young girl. Staying in the orphanage made all of them realize that Ms. Minchin doesn't care even there is bullying going on within the children.What she only cares about is having them get adopted.'I see, alright stand up, Becky go down and help cleaning, Elisia, I need to have a word with you.' Ms. Minchin said and Becky looked at me with worried eyes but she has no choice but to oblique Ms. Minchin's order.'Yes,
Keila's expression changed to fury.'What do you know? you know nothing!' She yelled.The Keila that I am seeing now is far from the Keila Alex described as Cheerful and kind. Far from what I remember before. My eyes switch to the girl beside her who's very fashionable with makeup. Hmm, I see, maybe she got a bad influence on her side?Are they the typical bad girls I'm hearing about? Those who bully the weak in stories?I looked back at Keila.'I know everything.' I smiled at her and she flinched.'I know that you like Alex that's why you hate me, Is this what they call jealousy?' I asked. Teasing the girl. I think reliving my life made me also turn back into a child.Making these silly tricks.I saw how her face turns red.'You!?' She yelled again.'Oh, you looked flustered, guess I'm correct.'I continuously teased
Everyone is assembled in front of a big wooden building. It was said that this was built centuries ago by the first people who climbed this mountain. It has a long history and this is the place we all be staying tonight. Everyone is excited. There are no other guests aside from the students of St. Catherine's. Every year, it was always reserved by the school for its students.They arrange two humongous rooms. All the boys will share in one room and all the girls in the other. Once we are all set in, the staff ask us to remove our shoes and they gave us wooden slippers. When we came in, They led us first to our room, I saw futons ready on the clean and shiny wooden floor.Our female teacher ask us to choose which bed we want and just like in the past, Mary chose the s
It was the most awkward dinner I ever had. The people at the table refuse to talk and it finished very quickly before I realized it. I tried to elevate the mood but my friends refused to cooperate. Especially Alex who looked at his food for the longest time.After dinner, All of us enjoyed the sauna, while having a bath, I noticed Keila alone in the corner. The friends she normally talked to are nowhere to be found. I wonder what happened.After the bath, we are given a Japanese Kimono. It was a very modern and floral kimono where it was designed to be worn easily and not like the others, It's just about knee level and has pants inside so that one can move freely and easily. One of the innovations of this Inn.The bath was wonderful.
'Tonight, I want everyone to take this seriously. What we are doing right now is part of our very long tradition.'Everyone looked at Sir Michael, we saw how he moved from his chair and put the blue cup facing down upwards.'The truth is I hate teaching children, I only loved the high salary they paid me to teach.' He said with a smirk on his face, as a devil reincarnate. This is Sir Michael's other personality. When we became seniors, we called him a two-eyed monster.He stood from his chair and someone came to take out the chair he sat on and he walked outside our circle. we can hear his footsteps.'Now it's your turn, I don't care who goes first but one of those cups needs turning, if you c
