Verena Layton“Yo gurl~” I coo, putting on my earbuds.. “Hehe…I knew you would be awake at this hour, Ms Layton.” Amara from the other side grins.It's almost 1 am, and here I am Facetiming with my bestie while applying nail polish on my super short nails. “Face mask now? Really?” Amara shakes her head as if I committed the greatest sin of the century.“Look who is talking.” I scoff, watching her remove her transparent facemask off her face. “That makes two of us.” She cackles, putting some moisturiser on her fingers. “Don’t let Julia catch us.” I wink at her, putting my finger on my lips. “No way.” She chuckles. “We are dead if she finds us chatting late at night.” Her voice drops to a whisper. “You better close your doors and windows and turn off the light.” I laugh, throwing my head back. “Julia doesn’t live near me, love.” “Right.” She sighs, applying moisturiser to her face. “I am in trouble then.” She acts as if she is checking around. “I mark myself as safe.”I giggle. “

Strange fragments of memories keep popping out in my mind at random times. For example, I was drinking tea when suddenly a fragment popped in my mind where…oh gosh, even remembering that makes me punch the wall out of embarrassment! So, a strange image of me kissing Lorcan wildly, as if my life de

Verena LaytonIt has been ten days since we are putting our heart and soul into the project. In the initial days or I would like to say as ‘golden days’, all the five members of our group were present. But, after three days, our situation became very similar to those TV shows depicted in college group projects- only one or two ended up doing the entire project. Currently, Julia, Lorcan and I are attending ‘group project meetings’ like some ritual every day after our classes for two to three hours. If you are wondering if the three of us click well, you are absolutely wrong. I don't know what's wrong with Julia and Lorcan. Since the very beginning, they look like they will pounce on each other the moment I take my eyes off them. As if they have been arch enemies since all their previous births.
