Chasing the moon

It was a chilly November night. Like every other night, I woke up from the deadly noise of my dad coughing from the other room. I jumped from my bed. My bed can hardly be called a bed. It was in a terrible condition that could nearly hold me. My family was poor with hardly enough to fill up our stomachs. Our house was in a terrible condition that a minor storm was enough to eradicate it. If only I could find a job, I may be able to help my parents. I was the only child of my parents. They were cobblers who work day and night to feed me and provide me with proper education. During some days they earn only a little that they even forget to fill their stomach. Dad used to earn very well a few years ago, but now he couldn't earn so much because of his poor health. He loved designing and making shoes for everyone. He always made me many lovely shoes when I was little. Little pink princess shoes, blue glitter ones, and red boots. But fate ruined us. All my life I w

I woke up from my beauty sleep feeling half tired and half excited. I removed the sheet covering my body and headed towards the bathroom. I was half tired because I was busy reading a mystery novel I borrowed from Nancy, so I slept late. I was excited because it was Sunday, which means spending the day with Nancy. She was planning to take me shopping and somewhere else that she didn't tell me about. So today seems to be a busy day for me. I opened the tap and let the warm waterfall on my body and rubbed my body with the soap and shampooed my hair. I tied a towel around my body and got out of my bathroom and headed towards my room. I put on a blue skin-fit Jean and a yellow tank top and tied my hair in a ponytail and put on my blue sneakers. I don't have to put on heavy makeup since I was naturally beautiful. I was 5'3 tall having a slim figure and fair skin. I had full breasts and wide hips. My eyes were brown and my beautiful straight jet black hair reached my hips.

Stupid first day at college. I cursed myself. My school days used to be outstanding. I don't have words to express the fun I had at my school. My mere words can't express all those sweet memories. I don't have the slightest idea of how the new students turned out to be. What if they are mean ?. What if they bully me for coming from a poor family? What if they considered me trash?. All those thoughts come running to my mind. I wished to get a friend who was as caring as Nancy. I wanted her to be my best friend, just like Nancy, and trust me so I may be able to open about my conditions. For god's sake, I just wanted a normal and peaceful campus life. I prayed to God to give me a normal college life. Maybe I could find an average-looking boy who would be very friendly, surrounded by many friends who were not spoiled by their parents. "No drugs and no alcohol for him. He can understand my family problems and always support me in my life. Finally, I can marry him

I decided to attend my class because I was feeling so much better. My stomach cramps disappeared. I felt relaxed. After freshening up, I decided to put on some comfortable clothes. So I ended up wearing a black knee-length skirt with a blue shirt. After having a quick breakfast, I headed to my college. It was a half an hour walk from my house.The actual big day starts that day. I thought of preparing the right study schedule. My next priority was to find a job. I made sure that my job doesn't collide with my studies. I really needed to focus on it. It's my main priority. My life depends on it.I decided to go straight to my class rather than walking here and there on my campus. Few of my classmates were already present but Ria and Rose haven't reached yet, so I decided to give them a call.I called Ria, but she didn't respond to my call, so I called Rose. After ringing for few seconds she took my call and said that they are on their way to the class. The forgot to as

Sometime later, I reached in front of his house. His house was extremely beautiful and big, with a beautiful garden decorating on the right side of the house. I had seen such kinds of the house whenever I traveled around the city with Nancy. The fact was that I was a girl who wanted my dream house to be more spacious with lots of trees and a tiny manmade pond in the back of the house. But those dreams never became reality. But the house in front of me got everything I wished I had."Wow. He has his treehouse and, his house looked heavenly. Such a calm and quiet atmosphere." I breathed.I knocked on his door and waited for someone to open it. A nice-looking lady opened the door. It was Mrs. Anderson. I had seen her many times on campus. But not this close. She was such a gorgeous lady. I greeted her and introduced myself. I explained the reason for coming here. She seemed genuinely happy to see me there helping her son in his project.She welcomed me inside and offered
