Intricately Fate

Chapter 2: Catching up

A few days had passed...

She took a huge inhale of air, it felt cool and crisp. She relaxed onto the bench, even if it was a basic one, she felt comfortable and at peace. Admiring the view and enjoying the tranquility.

She watched as the clouds moved, the waters in the lake rippled from small impacts of things and the trees swayed from the wind, as bright colored leaves fell down and decorated the ground with their colors.

She and Nessie had already planned beforehand to meet up in the campus park after they had finished their classes.

She finished prior, hence made her arrive earlier and she decided to take the chance to admire the scenery in her campus park.

She couldn't help but enjoy her time in her most favorite place which is secluded and tucked away in a corner of the

Not a lot of people knew it because it was surrounded by trees which made the place hidden and that it took a bit of time to walk towards there from the main path.

There stood a simple bench amongst the gorgeous landscape at her spot. She knew it was definitely a hidden gem.

It was truly a wonderful scenery, serene and peaceful from her bench...The area was filled with colorful multi-colored leaves and trees that decorated the whole area, the place also overlooked a lake located inside the park.

It seemed forever had passed until she heard leaves crunching approaching her.

"Aline'' A voice called for my name from behind me and I slowly turned around to greet her black head friend albeit reluctant to part away from the lovely view, "Nessie'' I also gave a nod of acknowledgement.

"I'm impressed you found this place" I mused, I thought it was wonderful and impressive that her lovely friend managed to find this place as it was a concealed place. Nevertheless, I am ecstatic as she could enjoy it alongside her best friend.

Nessie shook hear head and replied back, amused, "No, no, I can't take credit as you were the one who gave me your own location.."

She slowly approached my sitting figure. Her eyes widened as she stood right behind me, her eyes widened and her mouth open agaped, "The view...It's beautiful..."

I turn around to once again admire the view..It truly is. I nodded and made a sound in agreement.

I offered and patted the seat next to me, she graciously took it, "This is my favorite spot. I picked this spot, the view and convenience." She hummed in response.

She was still captivated by the view, her eyes looking at it while sitting down.

I couldn't help but laugh at her reaction, that was my reaction too when I initially came here.

A few minutes went by and Nessie had calmed significantly but still silent...opting to still watch the view.

I decided to break it, "How were your classes?" I asked Nessie as she finally turned her head to me. I thought it was a good idea to ask now, after all, she had experienced it for the last few days. It would've given her the grasp of what school is there.

"It was harder than I expected," Nessie admitted while I smiled and nodded in agreement with my friend's statement and added my own opinion regarding it, "I suppose it was something to be expected of, I did hear London has high expectations in journalism" Her blackhead friend just sighed. Oh? It seems she already knew about it.

It's a wonder if she didn't know about it, I had always thought it was more of an unspoken fact. The world knew well how Brittain valued literature, it was something to expect.
