Accelerating the air-conditioner which is working like a goddamn heater. I beat the remote twice, to increase the temperature but somehow it doesn't increase.

Fuck

I baffle my wet hair, few water droplets drip down my bare abs down my abdomen. Opening, the glass door of my balcony, the wind gusts past my body, I am just wearing my sweat pants. Inhaling the cool breeze, I close the net door shut and lay back on my bed. The moonlight is gleaming on my face, arriving from the window. Plopping, my hand on my face, I close my eyes shut.

Twisting and turning on my bed, for a while, I stare at my ceiling and start counting from 100 cause I can't feel, myself falling asleep anytime soon. I use to do this when I was 6 or 7 years old and somehow I use to fall asleep on counting till 10 only it never reached this amount, I have counted till 50 but still, there is no sign of sleep.

Fuck

The breeze blows again, the sound of leaves moving from trees filling the air goes in the background as my eyes begin to close shut.

The breeze blows, gusting with it are the fresh green leaves. The entire view is filled with trees, while the grass has filled up the ground. A girl wearing a plain white gown runs through the forest. Her laughter echoes in the wide forest repeating back & forth.

" Till when are you gonna run away? ". A man who appeared from nowhere rasped.

The girl stops short in her track, her laughter which was echoing in the green forest is now replaced with the shot of a bullet, ripping her white gown entering her body, leaving a stained red pool of blood on the white gown.

I abruptly flicker my eyes open. I study my surroundings with my blurred vision, it's different and nothing compared to that green forest. My breathing is uneven as I study my surroundings again, my eyes moving back and forth through my room in search of water. It lends on the jug placed on the side table. Filling a glass of water, I gulp it down my throat, wanting for more I keep gulping one by one.

My bladder will jolt soon as the amount of water I have gulped down. Signing, I lay back. My heart is still beating to a tremendous degree. The girl laughing, reminds me of Avery.

I haven't ever seen her laughing or even smiling. She looks cute when she is confused. The smile creeps out of nowhere on my lips.

Fuck

Realizing the reality, that she is with his sugar daddy, I doze back to sleep.

My eyes twinkle at the source of lightning gleaming on my face. Who-the-fuck left these on? The longing to stay in bed is increasing. Last night was the worst night ever. I didn't get much sleep, cause my heart wasn't at peace.

I scrutinize my surroundings, before getting up the clock struck 7:30. Fuck fuck

I reap up from my bed, grabbing my clothes, and take a cold shower. I look at my appearance, before evacuating. My eyes are red-shot because of the amount of sleep I took last night, my hair is messed up same as my heart.

" Mr.Ashlton looks like you want to repeat your junior year ". Mr. Dean's voice echoes in my ears bringing me back to reality.

Shaking my head, I look inside the class which is filled with faces I have never seen, all heads turned towards me. I move back to look at the board indicating our sections XI-A.

The hell I am doing here?

Excusing myself, I move past them I glance one more time inside the classroom, a bench is vacant at the last. I remember coming to pick up Avery, I saw her packing her belongings but before I could approach her that day, she got botched up with the crowd.

Sighing, I move past the classrooms of XI and move right from where our classes start, which means XII. I feel like dozing back to sleep. I can't pay attention to what's going on around me. My mind is occupied with something and it happens to be Avery somehow. I am too tired of telling myself, the same thing that she doesn't mean anything to me except the is Max's sister, I was helping her cause Max would have done the same if I would have a sister but my heart seems to be messing things up for my whole body. I can't sleep properly the only thing which is going through my head is Avery. How her face use to lit up whenever she use to see Max playing, when she use to blubber to her friends about random topics. I wonder how I never paid attention to her. I have seen her growing up but I never felt anything towards cause maybe deep in my heart, I know we can never be even.

She is pure & innocent, while I am a bad boy who plays with girls heart like a freaking toy. I never gave anyone importance upon my family & friends, soccer.

My head tells me she is fine without me probably taking one day off. But my heart is not at equilibrium with my mind. I am avoiding Rayce and Cray, I can't answer their questions

I park my car in the parking lot and step out, the bottle of beer left still lays on the back seat packed. Perhaps, I should gulp it down it's the only thing that is helping. I am not addicted to alcoholic beverages, I use to have them at parties or once in a Blue Moon. But everything is changing. I sip the whole in one go, dumping the bottle in the back seat. I reach for the lock stumbling backward, the lock is underneath my fingertips but somehow the numbers are in the air, I can't make the password.

Waking up to the sound of the television, booming through the whole house. Who the fuck switched it on? Groaning, I get up but don't stand my feet are dangling on the side of the bed,  I can't stand my head is pounding. I am not in my right state of mind.

Flashing water on my face, I once again look at myself my eyes have a tinted red shade appearing as an alcoholic have or like I have been crying my whole life. I twist the shower on, the warm shower soothes my skin. Coming out, I rub my wet hair with a towel. The hungover has gone by now only my head is still pounding.

Making my way to the lounge, where the television is bursting with news. Mom and Dad are sitting watching the news. Standing behind the sofa, the news reporters voice booms " Inspectors have taken over the " Blue Bar " as a girl has been found murdered in one of the rooms ". My eyes shot towards the television, the news reporter goes on " It has also been said that the gang leader Mr. Caro was found assaulting the young teenage girl. "
