OFFERNAGE [EDITING]

Sweet & Sour

       Peeping out my window,the sun gently peep back at me by glowing into my eyes. I quickly withdraw,dancing to my wardrobe to take another pair of uniform.

Yep! I was gifted with three pairs.

Within two minutes, I slip into my skirt which is roughly above my knee,my white inner long sleeve with the highest quality texture, a stripe tie I learnt to knot,thanks to YouTube and my blazer to match it all.
My choice in socks is ankled length which exposes more of my thigh due to the length of the skirt.

Staring at my beautiful self in the mirror, I brought out my phone to take a few selfies before heading out,feeling refreshed with my imperial perfume cologne whispering sweet scent to me. I am indeed, fastidiously neat.
Heading out,I took a deep breath as I journey down the street. The sky looking like a blue foam,spotted with white puffy clouds that promises a beautiful day.

“Korah”. I turn sharply to the sound of my name . “You forgot breakfast”. Steph ran towards me.
“Thanks so much”. I smile to her,collecting my breakfast I forgot.

Stephanie and  I, share the same room. Her story is quite touching as she was found in a gutter around the road as a baby. She is currently twelve year old and is attending a neighboring school.

I watch her jog back Home before going on.
She is truly a darling.

I appear in school earlier than expected,making it extremely comfortable to walk in as there are not much students yet.
I brought out some needed books then slam my locker before heading to class.

The hallway seem more quiet ,only a few student pass by me on my way to class with me smiling generously at them.

I walk to my seat bearing in mind that Dawn might decide to seat there today.

I dunno if I like her to be honest.

Been the only one in class,I used the opportunity to walk from seat to seat,observing the little things about it. My eyes drifted to the glass where cars troop in from the gate as students alight from the vehicles with their so called driver helping them with their bags.
“Hey”. I turn swiftly to the sound of someone at my back.

“Hey..”. I smile back.
You came early,so punctual”. She made her way to her seat,first role on the right. “I'm Pearl”.
“I'm Korah”. I smile,walking to her. “You already know that right?”

She nods,arranging her books. “I'm the only one at home so I decided to come early. My parents travelled to Cuba”.
My lips unknowingly form a 'o'. “Wow..that's quite nice”.

She shake her head,her face suddenly saddens. “Its not nice though. I get to see my parents just three to five times a week”.

Okay,that's bad.

“I'm so sorry about that”. I bit my lower lip,looking at her with pity.

“Its okay..”. She force out a smile. “I'm used to it. There are always travelling from one place to another, giving me everything I want but all I want is their company”.

Guess been rich also have its disadvantage.

I watch arrange her books neatly and brought out her phone.
“So..uh..which group do you belong?”. Pearl ask.
“Group? What group?”.

“We have each departmental group based on    what you love doing or your talent”. She explains.
“Oh...that would be anything relating to music,I write songs”. I feel proud to say.

“Woah..that's amazing”. She comments “I draw”.
“Artist...it suits you”. I tuck my hair to my ear, low key happy I'm connecting with reasonable people.
