I groggily wake up from my slumber my eyes feel heavy and instantly I knew the cause of it. I had cried myself to sleep earlier this morning. I rub my eyes with my two fingers as I sit up on the bed. I stand from my bed and move to the mirror, I was right my eyes do look quite puffy. I didn't have the time to start making remedies for puffy eyes so I just left it that way, the puffiness will reduce soon. I glance at the little clock that is by my bedside table to check the time, it's eleven am. As I get out of my room with my phone in my hand —in case Andrea calls— and go to take a bath, I keep my hopes up that Andrea would be in the living room but sadly she wasn't. I enter the bathroom and immediately turn on the tap to fill the bathtub with water, as the warm water pours into the tub I pour in my scented shower gel and lavender oil. The bathroom begins to get a little steamy and now has a fresh scent of oranges and lavender. I take off my nightclothes, get into the water and start t

“Don’t you think that it is time for you to go home, you've been out for too long and you are still in your pjs”. Levi tells me and I give him a look. I'm not complaining, why should he. “Uhm I really don't care”. I tell him and instantly regret the tone that I use. “I’m sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out that way”. “Nah, it is okay. I understand that you don't want to go home now, but you still in your sleepwear by this time of the day doesn't really seem proper”. “Yeah you are right but I really don't want to go home now. I know that I'm being quite immature but I just don't want to go home”. “Must be some pretty fierce argument eh”. He says.Throughout the conversation I had with Levi, I never mentioned what happened between Annalia and I or even about my issues. We had just talked about school and other stuffs. I found out that he attends Bayweach College too and that he plays basketball. I still don't want to go home now because I cannot face Annalia. I fee

ANNALIA’S POV “I am craving cakes”. I tell Andrea nervously as we walk to school. “Uhm, isn't it too early to eat cakes”. She looks at me puzzled. “I know but I am very nervous and I want to eat something sweet”. “Wait hold on a second is this about making the list for the volleyball team?” I nod quite sheepishly and steer clear of the moving car coming my way. A horn blows but we don't pay attention to it. “Please don't stress this Anna, you will make the team”. She says as she rubs her forehead with one hand and pats my shoulder with the other. “I really wish I could be as confident as you, you know”. “Excuse me” –she comes to my front and stops me– “you can be confident too if you want to, I have watched you play Anna and you play really well. So if your coach can't see that then he is really really really blind”. “Well, you didn't come for the tryouts so you can't say for sure if I played well”. I shrug and continue to walk. “I am not going down this lan

“What is the matter with the both of you?” I ask as they occupy the vacant booth. “Oh, us, nothing at all”. Adrian says and goes on to pick a smoothie from the tray on the table.He takes a sip and then frowns. “Uhm Anna, this isn't what I asked for. You got me a different smoothie”. “What do you mean, isn't that your pineapple-coconut smoothie?” I ask visibly confused. I am sure that I bought one pineapple-coconut smoothie, especially for Adrian. The cups are all the same but have different straws and Adrian’s own has a blue straw. I remember because I had to keep his separately. I look at Mariquita’s smoothie and then at Andrea’s own. “Andrea, that's Addie’s smoothie you are taking”. I say and Adrian glares at Andrea.She looks up from Levi's phone which she is holding. ”Oh, no wonder it tasted pretty weird”. She says as she cringes. I let at out a laugh, so does Matteo and Mariquita. Levi just looks at us, not getting what is going on. “I know that you did this intentio

    “Here, you should give me your bag, I'd help you carry it”. Annalia tells me as she releases me from her hold.I shake my head, obviously refusing.  She still takes it from my shoulder anyway and I let her. I am too tired to struggle.   “Your phone?” She asks as she spreads her palm. I look at my hand, forgetting that I still had the phone in my palm.   “How about I just throw it away instead, so no one would be able to contact me. Then I'd move very far away from here.   “Tsk, now you aren't making any sense right now. I understand that you are upset right now, but you shouldn't just spew anything you feel like”. She says softly and takes my phone from me, putting it inside the bag.   “Now let's keep walking, we've got people waiting for us at home. That is if they haven't left yet”. She whispers the last part.W
