Ivanna There's one more year left to complete the final semester. I'm trying my best to work on my studies and job both at the same time. Still, I'm lagging in studies because of my shift. I work in a call centre in the night shift, most of the time I'm found yawning in the class and sometimes sleeping on the last bench. I had good grades until my father died. He was the only support system for us. I never had to think about money and expenses. My mum never had to worry about monthly expenditures. Life became a complete mess after dad was expired.  I'm counting the number of days that are left to finish my studies. I'll have to focus on my job completely to support my family. I tear down the page of my journal where I was making a plan of upcoming days. I knew making a timetable is useless when I have to spend half of the day in college and half

Ivanna        "Where are you going?", the stranger inquires.    "No.. Nowhere", I stammer, being confused about what I should answer. He keeps looking at me with his strange gaze which is making me uncomfortable with every passing second.      "Babe", I hear Christian's voice as he joins me, holding my waist. I feel relieved to get him by my side. I don't have a habit of meeting people, especially strangers haunt me. "Good Evening, Mr Adavan", he greets the stranger.    "Good evening, Christian", Adavan smirks as he finally drives his eyes away from me. I sigh, he better not to do that again. I'm not gonna stay here if he keeps doing it.   "Here's my girlfriend Ivanna", he squeezes my shoulder.  

Ivanna "Sorry. I didn't get you", Christian says in a confused tone.    "Chris!", I grab his shoulder. "Should we leave now?"   "Yeah. But we…"   "Please, don't take more time. I'm feeling sleepy", I tell him, trying to ignore Adavan as much as I can.    "Ok. I need to take your leave", Christian tells Adavan.   "Sure. See you soon", Adavan shakes his hand with Christian then turn to me. "Sleep well, Ivanna" I look at him for the last time and walk away with Christian. I walk faster to leave that place as soon as possible. I don't wanna see his creepy face ever in my life again. We walk to the car and Christian opens the door for me. I hurriedly get inside and fasten the seatbelt.&nbs

Ivanna     "What?", I scream at Christian on the call. "They dumped my dress? Are you kidding me?" I realise I'm in the classroom and everyone is looking at me since I yelled inside the classroom like an idiot.     "I'm sorry", Christian mutters. "I didn't know they would do something like this", his voice shakes.      "Why are you being sorry? I had told you to leave hurriedly. It was my stupidity that I didn't change. Moreover, what kind of behaviour is this? How can they throw away my dress? They forced me to change, they have no right to do something like this", I am fum

Ivanna I come out of my dream world and drive his hands away from me. His offer has made me happy enough still, I'm not sure if I will be able to do that or not. I leave the chair and face him.         "Can I get some time? I don't have spare time in my schedule so, I'll have to manage my time table", I tell him as he passes me a reactionless look. It doesn't look good to keep an offer pending when you're getting it without any trouble. However, in my case, it's totally different.     "Sure, take your time", he tells me. "But make sure you don't make a delay since it's a short time offer for you", he reminds.     "I'll let you know as
