Mona found herself in the dark room. "12:5!" was now displayed.
"Last symbol, exclamation mark, "the circle with an i" leads me to believe that it's 0"
The symbol turned green and Mona woke up. She looked at her phone.
21st January
Friday
1:40amShe scrolled through her social media feed for an hour and played a game on her phone for 3 hours, after which she got out of bed, took a bath, brushed her teeth, had her breakfast and got ready for college.
"Someone's early." A voice came from behind her while she walked to college.
She turned to find Alexandra, her best friend since primary school walking up to her.
"Morning, Alex." She greeted as she walked by her side.
"Morning. So what's the occa- whoa you look really tired." She said.
"I tried to wake up at 6:40 but woke up 5 hours early."
"When do you go to sleep usually?" Alex asked.
"Around 11:30pm." Mona said.
"You could just go back to sleep after waking up very early." Alex said.
"You know I can't go back to sleep once I wake up." Mona said.
"Okay but try to get a nap during the lunch break or something." Alex said.
They reached college an hour before the bell rang. Since they had time they decided to just chat about the show they watched.
"Today is the series finale. It's finally coming to a close after 7 seasons." Alex said.
"The Extraordinarian written by Eila Falak, right?" Mona said yawning.
"Yup. She said that the series was based on her sisters and their friends. It's finally coming to an end."
"She announced a sequel to that series yesterday."
"That would be based on her "The Storm After The Storm" book. It's like a continuation to the main storyline."
"I'm looking forward to it since TSATS is a fun read."
The bell rang and the teacher entered. Even though Mona was barely able to sray awake no matter how many times she washed her face. She knew the classes by heart now.
The first period was Digital and Analogue Electronics. After that was Maths, after which there was a 10 minute break.
"You want to walk around?" Alex asked.
"Sure" Mona said.
"Are you sure?" Alex asked. "You could barely hold yourself up during class."
"I'll be fine for 10 minutes." Mona said getting up.
"Alright then." Alex said. "Let's go."
They walked around while discussing the story of the Extraordinarian and talking about the show.
The bell rang and they returned to class. The class now was Data Science. After that was System Programing followed by a 45 minute break.
"What did you bring today?" Alex asked pulling her lunch box out of her bag.
"Sandwiches, you can have them." Mona said putting her head down on her table.
"You should eat your lunch. You are a growing lady afterall." Alex said in a maternal voice.
"Okay mom." Mona said sitting up.
After having lunch, Mona put her head down on the table as they sat there talking about books.
"The Modern In The Warrior World is a fun story to read." Alex said.
"Another reincarnation story?" Mona asked.
"It is but trust me it's good." Alex said.
"Alright then. What's the current status of the story?" Mona asked.
"It's still ongoing but the writer said that it will have only 12 chapter with a bonus chapter after that as an epilogue."
"Okay then I'll give it a read after today's finale." Mona said. "Maybe tomorrow. I'm going to sleep after watching the episode."
The lunch break was over and they had a 3 hour electronics lab. Mona couldn't pay attention to what was being taught at all. During the 10 minute break that the teacher gave them, Alex brought her some coffee to keep her awake for a while.
After the lab was over, Alex and Mona walked back.
"Man that was exausting. You had it more harder than me." Alex said.
"I know." Mona said yawning.
"Get a nap once you reach home."
"I plan to. But I'll have to complete my home work before that."
"You are very diligent, my dear."
They kept talking until Mona's house came and they said their goodbyes.
"Welcome back Mona. You look tired. Rough day?" Mona's mother asked.
"I'll be fine after a nap." Mona said going to her room.
Mona spent the rest of the day completing her homework and taking a nap. After dinner she went to her room and turned her laptop on. She then waited for a half hour and finally the episode came. She watched it while lying in her bed.
Once the episode came to an end, she fell asleep.
