I was in the class, listening to the lecture with my heavy eyelids, ready to shut at any moment. My mind got attentive when the lecturer mentioned my name.
"Miss. Troustkey." She said.
"Yes." I stood at attention.
Did she notice my sleepy head?
"Go to the principals' office."
"But why?" I asked.
She handed me a little piece of paper on which my name was written with the signature of the principal. I took the paper and went out of the class. Standing in the corridor, I was confused, whether the office was on the left or the right.
I should pay more attention to the directions.
I randomly turned right and reached a room, not the principals' office. Walking back, I went to the left and knocked on the principals' office. He told me to come in and then asked to go to the opposite side where someone came to meet me.
Ah! I went to the righ
Sitting in the class with my head resting on the bench, I was thinking of what to do. How should I explain this to my brother? It's really hard for me to believe and impossible for him. I was staring at my hands holding the phone. Should I talk with someone? But with whom? Only if Loren was here, I could discuss it with him. He always had answers to my questions and he somewhat knows about my father, I didn't know what I told him back then. Here I again started thinking about him. Scrolling the contacts on the phone as if his number will magically pop up, I abruptly stopped the process when I saw Jacob's name. Should I call him? He might freak out more than I am and he'll be sleeping at this time. Damn! I just want to smash my head on the wall so that any solution my fall out. This is stupid. I stood up to move to the other class. I should get something that justifies his words.Classes went by one after another. We got
Time marched by days into months and months into a year. Everything in my life has changed but one thing remains the same. Years ago, I wouldn't have pictured my life the way it is now. Our little family had grown. Brother is engaged with Ayra and father is living with us. Even after a year my mind can never let go of Loren or it's my heart that is still holding Mr. Black. I was looking in the mirror, reading my new look. My long hair was now short reaching my shoulders. I was wearing a maroon, knee-length dress with black boots covering my exposed legs. My contemplation ended with a call, a video call from Jacob."Hey.""Haircut!" Was the first thing he said."Yeah," I said touching the ends of my hair. "Ayra insist.""You look cute in short hair.""You think so? I prefer long though.""When did you do it?""2 days back."Adam shouted while enterin
My eyes couldn't believe what they saw that night, neither my mind could contemplate why he was there. Was I hallucinating? No, I wasn't. If it was a hallucination, this could have happened a long and time ago. He was real, but how? Was the question that was killing every brain cells of mine. In between two days, time passed and I was lost in my thoughts. The answer to how he was there? What was he doing? and why at the funeral? Will be answered only if, I know who that woman was. And the question, who she was can be answered by only one person, Ayra. I didn't dare to ask her anything about her friend, I wanted to give her time till she comes out of her somber.I got off the bed, freshened up and went into her room. She was sitting on the bed, hugging the pillow. Even after a couple of days, she wasn't normal. Taking a deep breath, I entered and sat beside her."Ayra?" I said.She looked up at me, ending her nowhere stare.

We both gave him a glance, then our eyes were back on the screen."Finished your so important business talk with brother?" I asked looking at the screen."Yes. My so important business talk is done and I am taking you out today." He said and sat beside Adam."Where?" I asked.I was waiting for the answer when I heard Adam's shout. "Hey, that's cheating."Tilting my head in his direction, I saw Loren covered his eyes with his hand. "Your sister asked me to do it." He said and smirked at me."No, I didn't-" before I could finish, he leaned over Adam and kissed me."Levy y
I tried to keep my concentration in the book, to know what happens when these chemicals interact with each other. Some alphabets with a number as their base.We call it as chemicalformulaswere being added to similar kinds of other."Bang!!!" I messed up again. I could never score well in chemistry. I sighed and rested my forehead on the book. As soon as I did that a hand hit on the back of
A hand hit my left cheek which woke me up from my sleep. I didn't even bother to look who it was as it's Adam for sure. He cuddles while sleeping and end up hitting me. Unlike me, a single touch or sound awakes me."He slapped me." I murmured while stroking my cheek and searched my phone to see the time, was awake five minutes earlier than the alarm. I tickled Adam and whispered in his ear. "Wake up."
The same routine continued the following day. Dropping Adam school and then me going to college. Today, I was too early in the class, could hardly see 4-5 classmates. After 20 minutes Jacob entered and sat beside me."Hey." I waved at him."Hi." He
When I got home, I was welcomed by Lady Anna."Lady Anna! you are back." I was surprised at her presence or rather happy more than surprised.She's a short lady with silver hair tied in a neat bun. She has gray eyes with a small nose, where wrinkle
