In a world where love does not exist.

Home, the place where i can go (C.4)

I find myself five minutes away from my house, as i walk towards the so called safe place; i wonder about the boy. I dont know his name, nor what he was doing there. It wasnt my fault ofcourse, nothings ever my fault everybody just thinks it is. I dont even know his adress or if he even has a home, i left him there but i guess thats what he deserves after not telling me anything about himself. I am now at the doorstep, nervous but confident; they wont find out, no how could they? I ring the doorbell. Forgetting that i have my keys in my side pocket of my jean shorts. 

My sister opens the door. 'Hey looser, home from school so early? Are you skipping it!' She starts getting fustrated at me, but i say no before she could leave a scar on my face.

Suprisingly, my mum walks downstairs and gives me the look i give all boys. The 'meanish look'.

'Why are you at home, may i ask? She says, tiptowing towards me.

I look to the side, its time to make something up. I do live with a strict or so family so i get used to lying pretty fastly, but this isnt a lie i can make up, not now. I just know she is testing me, i see her facial expressions and i do realize that she knows about the fire.

'There was a fire at school, but dont worry. Everyone including myself managed to stay alive... and healthy.' I said this with such sarcasm, giggling in between my words and looking at everything else but my mothers and sisters eyes. Thankfully, she did not catch on.

'I heard about that, and yes thankfully everyone did. Go ahead and clean your room, after that you can take a break, im guessing you experienced somewhat of shock and need a good nap before continuing your day as usual.' She smiles at me with a light tone.

My sister ran upstairs to her room, she had things to do. Like homework and talking to boys. I obviously had no glory like that, not because my mum was strict but because i didnt find anybody interesting, atleast not the boys in my school. They were all badboys or had ugly personalities, and personally i strive for only the best! 

I run up to my room and start cleaning, one by one i fold piles of clothes and insert them in my grey wardrobe, then i shut it closed. I notice my diary at the corner of my eye, laying there on the stool, not concerned about life. I pick it up and put it on my desk, i take the seat from under the table and extend it out, i sit down and open the diary. I grab a ballpoint pen and start writing.

Dear diary,

Today was a day of mysteries, a day of ups and downs. Luckily im fine and so is that boy i met today.. he was attractive per say. He was mysterious and i was concerned about that. Let me tell the story from the start...

I woke up and went to school like a normal kid, i met cecilia and talked to her. I missed her alot. But soon we noticed a fire starting at the front of the school, a big one with flames and smoke. People had to evacuate but i was tempted, it was stupid but the fire had merged something inside of me. It had brought out a dangerous side of me. I told Cecilia to go as i headed towards the fire, i jumped in. Yes, yes stupid of me- is that not clear enough for you? But i did it anyway, luckily i didnt die, the smoke didnt fill up my lungs enough. I met a boy inside the fire and helped him evacuate out of the area, but i knew i couldnt just come out of the fire from the front entrance as the place was being swarmed with cops already... we escaped from the back of the fire. Hopefully nobody saw us, why you may ask? Well maybe the cops will suspect me or the boy that started the fire, Lets just say it might of been him. Im not sure he was really quiet but we safely got out of there.. we talked for a bit at the park and then headed home. 

*Text recieved*

I check my phone.

Cecilia ♥ : Alaila, please tell me your okay, where are you where have you been. Im so worried for you! Answer please Ali.

Alaila ♥ : Ceci, please calm down. Im safe. I did evacuate and nothing happened to me. Where you the one who called the cops?

Cecilia ♥ : Thank god your okay, dont ever do that to me, btw how did you know the cops were there. I thought u left earlier?

Alaila ♥ : Urm.. i did but i heard the cops car on my way to my house. Was it you?

Cecilia ♥ : No, not me. Why do you think so?

Alaila ♥ : It doesnt matter anymore, atleast everyone is safe, right?

Cecilia ♥ : Yes the school said nobody got injured, the fire also burned down the camera footage so the cops could not find anything sadly. School announces closure for around a week till they can get some of the damaged windows and items repaired.

Alaila ♥ : Alright, im so happy everyones good, im going to have a nap, cya :)

Cecilia ♥ : Okay, bye.

And so i went to sleep like that..
