Carved in the Clouds

6:59 AM, early morning  "Sharlene...Sharlene...Sharleneeee wake up You brat! How long are you going to sleep?" Sharlene Yang, a 14-year-old youngster, with deep brown eyes, fair skin and long black hair, could hear her mom’s voice.  "Momm can't I just sleep for a bit just 5 minutes then I promise I'll wake up pleaseeee", She was yawning. "Do you even know that it's already 7:00 and Daniel will come soon". "How naggy...", she rolled her eyes. Sharlene woke up. She stretched her arms and hurried towards the kitchen.  "Sharleneee!!! Sharleneee are you ready?? Come out we're late today!!", not so soon after, Someone shouted. A young boy with fair skin, dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair was downstairs, he was a little taller than Sharlene. He had come to pick up her as usual. It was their daily routine. Daniel would call Sharlene and together they would go to school. They w

"Oh dear where was he all these years? why did he come all of a sudden? Ask Him to visit us sometime. I wonder how he looks now. I miss Amanda so much.", asked mom. "He said he-...", as she was about to utter the words the doorbell rang. "Ding dong..... Ding dong..... Ding dong....." "Yes coming who's there??", asked mom. When Mom opened the door, she was in total shock. It was dad. Dad was very depressed. He asked mom to come to another room. He was different than usual days. Sharlene decided to eavesdrop on their conversation. "Dear, I dont think its proper to say this in front of Sharlene but... Tears started coming out uncontrollably from Sharlene's eyes when she heard it..... Sharlene burst into tears .... "Dear it's not appropriate to say in front of our Sharlene but the doctor said I have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer...... The doctor said it is in .... the first stage and .... can be cure

"Phew that was a long way. I'm so glad we got in the same dorm Clara. I'll take the upper bed you take that one okay.", Sharlene was exhausted. "No!! the upper bed is mine and dont dare even look at it", came a voice. They both turned around to see a fine looking girl with slim legs and nice figure but with a cold attitude. She looked like a pampered princess of rich family. Sharlene and Clara rolled their eyes at her. She even had some servants to bring up her suitcase and unpack her things. "I came here first so it's mine." Sharlene gave a cold stare. "I will call the mistress and tell you to throw you out of the dorm if you dont obey me.", said she in an ordering voice. "Heh, you think too high of yourself. You aren't in home and just remember we all have the right to throw you out" Sharlene went up the bed unpacked her thing. The girl stomped her feet and went outside slamming the door. "Who is she? she thin

"Dear students each pair will make a design of a building with their respective partners and also create a model. We have 15 pair of students. The things that are needed for making models are available on the three store rooms on the edge of the forest. It is better if you go to the first one and second one. The third one is a little far and in the dense jungle. Each of you will be provided with a map in case you get lost. All of you should complete the work in 2 days, today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we are going for a field trip to study about designs and structure. Each of you need to make sure if your respective partner is still with you. If anything happens then please come and report in the security room. Thank you! Hope you enjoy the work." "Hey what are we gonna make?", Sharlene asked in a subdued voice. "Ssshh, I already have an idea!", Daniel winked at her. They both were not aware about the glaring stares of angry girls who were planning

The bus stopped at the huge gates of the university. Everyone started getting off the bus. Daniel was sitting coldly in his seat still glaring at the two. "Hey! We're here lets get off.", Lex stood up. Sharlene and Lex got off the bus. Daniel was staring at them with such a cold stare that it would give chills to whoever looked at him. The sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky. The warm breeze swirled to and fro making the grass of the ground tilt side to side. The air was mind refreshing. All students got off the bus, making a crowd in front of the giant university gate. Sharlene turned around to see two glaring stares at her. It was Lin Lin and Daniel. "Hey! You two, dont give me that scary look, I am getting creeped out.", Sharlene touched her necklace. Daniel looked at her happily touching the necklace that Lex gave (or so in his mind) not knowing that it was actually her own. "Hey you!! you will need to pay for what
