HAY GUYS, I HAVE JUST STARTED WRITING AND ONLY WITH THE HELP OF YOU GUYS I CAN GET BETTER AT THIS ,PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS AND DONT FORGET TO LIKE AND FOLLOW 

THANK YOU.

We slowly start walking away from the casket that held particular portions of our heart. I know in my heart that there is no turning back now because what belongs to god always returns to him when he pleases. While the rain continues to pour away I silently try to absorb the atmosphere around me and breath , I try to ease the pain but it continues to poke my heart like arrows being shot by a trustworthy warrior that won’t back down till the end. On reaching my car near the entrance to St. Peters graveyard I turn around and face Nik , “you know my number ,call me whenever you need me Nik” with that I turn around as quickly as possible before I break down and open the door of my old nissan car and sit. I shut the door and look at Nik from the window and my eyes swell up because the pain I see on his face was unbearable he looks at me all helpless and I feel my self going numb,I steadily raise my hand to the window and wave him good bye, with trembling hands I start the car and take off in full speed on the straight road ahead catching a glimpse of Nik standing still in the pouring rain with his head held low.

The thought of both my best friends was killing me on the inside, I couldn't think straight so I pull the car over to the side of the road which is covered with dense plantation of some sort and I place my head on the steering wheel and break down completely. I scream, I sob and I let the pain flow  through my eyes, my hair drips wet and I feel the water roll down my neck and straight down my spine making me shiver with the cold and misery of my own state .I close my eyes and think back to those high school days when we first became friends

 6th,May,1998

‘’Kiley give it some time , believe me you’ll get used to this place in no time “ said this weird girl I just met she was wearing a deep neck navy blue shirt and had dark blue eye liner over her eyes and she smiled at me widely ,her name was Sarah and she had lived in this hostel for over a decade , she expected me to adjust like her but the home sickness was killing me and I had these weird butterflies in my stomach because this was the first time I was away from home and I hated it here even though it was only my first day, the food sucked ,we weren’t allowed phones and hence my life was over ,we weren’t even allowed to exit the campus unless it was a long vacation and I pictured it as jail for spoiled brats like me. I was standing at the entrance of my hostel gate and I wondered what life would be like for two whole years until I graduate and leave this shit place . My eyes scanned across the open area in front of me and on my right was a huge tennis court behind which lay the enormous swimming pool  ,to my left was a garden with just one almond tree and grass ,on the other side of the garden  was the restricted zone for every girl of this school , it was the boys hostel. Amidst all this, straight ahead stood the school building with three floors. the thought of new classmates made me dizzy and wobbly on my knees I sighed deeply and saw Sarah staring at me ,I had completely forgotten that she was standing next to me the whole time ,I gave her a weak smile ‘’hay if you don’t mind could I please be alone for a while “ I said as politely as I could . she quickly nodded and returned the smile while walking away. I was glad she did not hover.

It was four in the evening and the skies where dark ,the first rain of the season was getting ready to make its mark in the city and I just stood at the entrance and wondered how the rest of the new comers where coping with their home sickness ,I also wondered if there would be any cute guys in class and as I started to fantasies my own love story which I always did when I felt trapped in hopes that my prince charming would come and save my life,the skies grumbled and the rain forced its way to the ground . it rained soo heavily that I was completely soaked in minutes my white tank top turned transparent making me self-conscious but the rain seemed to work its magic I forgot all the sickness and smiled ,I looked up at the sky and turned around trying to take the first rain of the season as a ray of hope into my life and as I was spinning I heard the craziest laugh ever  I stopped and looked at this girl run past me in full speed towards the garden she had long hair that reached up to her knee,she was thina nd had a curve every girl would be jealous of . I saw her dancing her heart out in the rain she stopped when she saw me smiling at her and laughed, she then screamed from that distance “I LOVE THE RAIN, COME ….JOIN ME “I couldn’t stop myself so I ran towards  the garden and danced along with her and the feeling of joy and company overwhelmed me, she was laughing  and said “I am Ellevia by the way you can call me Ellie” I smile and tell her “I am Kiley and well you can call me…Kiley” we laugh together “I am new here” I say “me too” she replies .

As we dance in the rain I can’t help but make a philosophical connection that the first rain of the season brought with it the beginning of a new friendship. The Nuns(the biggest torturers on campus who make every girls life miserable) suddenly spot us and shout out  to us to get inside because we might fall sick and most importantly we might attract the attention of the boys opposite to us. Well that brought to the end of our little adventure we laugh together and run back inside.
