"Miss James." My Bio cluster/Genetics professor, Mrs. Brown said calmly in surprise. I looked at her with apologetic eyes."I'm sorry, professor." I said, clutching the strap of my bag on my shoulder nervously as I became aware of several eyes on me.She gave me a look through her thick red rimmed glasses, pushing them further up her nose. "Do you realise that you are almost twenty five minutes late to the class?""I know, but someone-""I don't want excuses. You must not be late to class. Either be on time or don't come at all."I dropped my gaze from her to the floor. Mrs. Brown was a bit hot headed lady. She was kind and good but she can be scary if she wants. And no one dared to be late to her class. But I was. It just so happened that a girl accidentally spilled her drink all over me before class and I had gone to clean up. And I didn't even hear the bell signaling that Mrs. Brown's class had started."If you were a mere five minutes la

I reached home at around nine thirty at night. It was not exactly home to me. I lived in a small two room rented apartment which was enough for me. The owner was a grumpy widowed douche who was too impatient with the rent.I inserted the key in the hole and opened the door. I flicked the lights on and closed the door behind me. I was tired. I didn't know why but I was damn tired.I already had my dinner at a restaurant and I was full. And so I just needed a warm bath now.Summer break was right around the corner and I was very excited. Tomorrow would be the last day of college until after the break which was for about three weeks. Many of my classmates were to going to go home to meet their family. And some of them were going on family trips to different countries. Thank God, it would be a nice break from seeing the arrogant faces of my classmates everyday.I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. After putting on my comfortable pajam

"You sure she lives here?" Olivia asked, looking around us to see if anyone was there. We were outside Ashley's house. It was 11:39. We had half of our faces covered under a black scarf. We could easily pass for burglars. I just hoped we didn't get caught."Positive," I whispered to her. She nodded and stepped forward."Hey, what are you doing?" I asked as I pulled her back."Going in, of course. How are we supposed to get your revenge without going in?" She asked in a 'duh' tone."We can't go in through the gates. What if we get noticed?""Well there is no other way inside other than the gates.""Follow me," I said.I circled around the house searching for an easy entry. But I found none. The whole house was surrounded by high walls. They were not so high so maybe we could climb up."We'll have to climb up," I stated and turned to find Olivia staring at me in horror."Maybe I didn't tell you this but I'm afraid of heigh

Liv had a car which her parents had gifted to her when she was sixteen and since then she had been using it. It has being over five years now and the car had visible signs of being old. But it was still a nice little black car."When are we going to reach?" I asked. It had been over half an hour and we were still driving through the New York roads to reach to her friend, Wilma's place."Are you so excited that you can't wait to reach there?""You wish."She rolled her eyes. "We're almost there." Liv replied, excitement evident in her tone. What a party animal.She pulled up in front of a large mansion with high walls surrounding it and a black intricately designed gate which had two men in black on either side of it.Liv unbuckled her seatbelt and glanced at me. I still had my seat belt on."Why aren't you getting out?" She asked while smoothing out the corners of her dress which perfectly fit her. Her dress on me was a bit big but st

I went to the bathroom but there was no one.I was about to leave when I heard some abnormal noises and I knew it was Olivia."Olivia?"I heard a low groan from inside. I knocked on the door again."Olivia? You there?"Nobody replied, instead I heard the toilet being flushed and the door cracked open. I immediately stepped back. Olivia tumbled out of the toilet.I caught her before she could face plant herself on the floor."Jelly!" She shouted in my ear and I cringed at her loud voice."Don't shout. And my name is Julie, not Jelly."I put her one arm around my neck and helped her out of the toilet."Where were you, July? I missed you a lot!" She said, clearly ignoring what I said to not shout. Her mouth reeked of alcohol and I stopped breathing for a while. "You know I played this dare and truth with Wimla. And I got this naughty dare to kiss a guy. And I enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyed it! Wimla was..."Before she cou
