The Enigma Of A Day 소설 & 이야기

I nod on the first question and then keep on shaking my head. “Kid...you seriously need to work on your excuses. I have an entire list on my desk of the top ten excuses that I’ve ever heard. If you want you can take a look because you seriously need it when it comes to the other teachers. Except for me I always know, but honestly: ''I didn’t know we started 7.30´´ is just lame. I think the number one excuse I have is ''well..3 days ago I was with my obsessed dad in a casino and I played out all of my money so I couldn’t afford taking the bus yesterday..or the day before that and I probably won’t tomorrow´´ and that came from a senior of mine”.

However, he came to his senses and yelled at me angrily, "Terence, what are you acting so cocky for? If I weren't here to enroll Quincy into school, I would really teach you a lesson. Just you wait!" After that, he walked back into the building with Quincy in tow. I looked down at the shreds of the wedding certificate around me, which was covered in footprints. The pieces lay on the ground, just like my dedication toward the Lindell family for the past seven years. I took a deep breath and called Gregory. "I'm at Erudite International School. Come clean up this mess!" After hanging up, I walked into the building, ignoring the surprised stares around me. … Everything seemed to be going well d

"You're looking at me weird. Do I have something on my face?" I shook my head. My emotions were churning violently, but I forced them to stay in check. The moment she was out of earshot, I pulled a pen out of the bag and wrote something on a piece of paper. … Two hours later, everything I'd written was gone. I tried the other pen, only for it to end up showing the same thing. This wasn't something I had seen coming. I couldn't believe that Zoe had truly given me disappearing ink pens. That could only mean everything my future self said was true.

Before Lily's surgery, the nurse slid the consent form across to me. I called my husband, Ethan Reid, eleven times. When the twelfth call finally connected, the first voice I heard was his first love, Claire Bennett, on the verge of tears: "Ethan, the zipper on my wedding dress is stuck. Don't leave yet." I looked at my daughter, white with pain in the hospital bed, and said, "Lily's waiting for you." Ethan was silent for two seconds before saying, "Just sign it. I'll get there later." Later, Lily studied the lone guardian's signature on the form and asked, "Mom, can I leave Dad off the school forms from now on?" I said she could. From that day on, she stopped leaving room for Ethan anywhere

HANNAH "WE'RE GOING TO ENIGMA TONIGHT." Sofia twists the cap off the bottle of tequila, before grabbing two shot glasses from our cupboard. With chipped paint and aged wood, our tiny apartment’s kitchen has seen better days, none of which we were here for. "Ha." I pale at my roommate. "You are, like always. But I'm not." Enigma is a new club in New York, with lines that usually wrap around the building. This is my roommate's third attempt at convincing me to go, and she makes a tempting case—It's Sunday, masquerade night.

Layla's POV On the morning of the fourth day, I finally opened my eyes. Light streamed through the window, and I realized—I could feel everything. Every herb, every plant across the entire territory. The evening primrose on the eastern slope had just sprouted new shoots. The blood-clot flowers in the western valley were in full bloom. Even the wolf-spirit grass buried deep underground, not yet broken through the soil, trembled faintly at the edge of my awareness.

After kissing me through the screen, Brian immediately turned off the phone, leaving me with a jumble of thoughts. Because he said he would come back late in the afternoon, so I guess Mrs. Alina was at home, he probably wouldn't have dared to do anything stupid. Rest assured, Bella. However, as soon as I opened my eyes the next morning, I saw the beautiful mistress carrying her backpack and walking down the stairs. Today is Sunday. Is she going to travel? She was carrying such a large backpack, she probably wouldn't be back today. What's going on? If my savior is gone, what should I do when Brian comes back and pounces on me?

Now that he had fallen, everyone who had suffered came forward with company secrets. I did not know who had filed the complaint, but I figured they must have had no other choice. After all, no one would risk their future like that without being pushed to the edge. Nonetheless, I was not surprised that people were eager to kick him while he was down. Then again, it no longer concerned me. I packed my bags, planning to travel with Mom's favorite necklace, and decided to visit our regular restaurant one last time. From a distance, I noticed a strange woman dragging herself along the sidewalk. She was not walking—more like she was crawling.

Adrian's vision went dark, and his mind suddenly jumped to that day at the mall. He'd taken everyone to buy winter clothes, and we'd run into Serena and Monica there. After we left, one of his friends had said, "I don't know, something feels different about Serena." But he'd been so focused on comforting Daniela that he hadn't noticed the most obvious thing—I hadn't been wearing my hearing aids that day.

... I bolted upright in my dorm bed, drenched in sweat. My roommate, Alice Hoyle, hovered over me, her brow furrowed with worry. "Elena, you alright? A nightmare?" I blinked at her familiar freckled face, then scanned the room. It was my college dorm, and I was alive. With doubt in my mind, I grabbed my phone and checked the date. It was 9 a.m., August 13th. On the same day, my dad had orchestrated his "death".
