How we met. Y/n X H/n love story.

Chapter 7

H/n

I had finally finished up studying at the library. It was already 7pm. I called my driver to tell him to pick me up. I was exhausted and didn't want to wait for the bus and thankfully he was free.  I quickly gathered my things before leaving the library. I covered my mouth as I yawned before I looked around. The sun was setting and the sky was a beautiful mixture of Blue, Pink and Orange. Atleast one of us has free will to do whatever it wants.

I waited for around 15 minutes before my driver arrived and I got inside the car. I plugged in my airpods as I looked outside the window. It was a  peaceful sight. I had finished up my homework and extra curriculars. Going to school was already tiring enough but I guess I've built up some immunity or some shit like that.

Despite being tired as shit, I couldn't help but wonder what she might be doing. She was pretty. Her eyes were even prettier and I couldn't help but wonder. The day I bumped into her at the park, my heart fluttered for the first time in forever.

I shook away my thoughts of her as we neared the house. I eventually got out of the car and walked inside. "I'm home." I said, softly. I took off my shoes and slipped on my slippers. I walked further into the house and spotted my little sister, Alia was in the kitchen. "Hey kiddo." I said, ruffling her hair. She turned around and looked at me. "Hi H/n!" She gave me a hug before going back to whatever she was doing. "Did you not eat dinner?" I asked. "I did, but I'm still hungry." She replied. "Oh okay." I said before I turned to go towards the stairs. "Mom told me that there's leftovers in the fridge if you're hungry. Mom and dad are out for some business meeting, I think." She said. I nodded, as I looked at her. " 'Kay, thanks kiddo."

I was hungry but I needed to take a shower first. I ran upstairs to my room and immediately went to go shower. I had a nice warm shower before stepping out. I wore a black sweater and sweatpants as I dried my hair with the towel. God, I just want today to be over already. Anyway, I eventually went downstairs and decided to end up making some cup noodles instead. I was too lazy to warm up leftovers so cup noodles are my dinner for tonight. They usually were. Usually whenever I came home, everyone else were in their rooms or out. The maids were gone so it was just me, my noodles and my thoughts.

I zoned out, my mind shifting to a conversation I had with my father a few days ago.

"H/n. Your father needs to talk to you." My butler said as he entered my room. I nodded, "Tell him, I'll be there in a second." I took a deep breath in before I stood up. We had just gotten our monthly progress checks so I was bracing myself. I didn't know if I'd be so scolded or grounded. Either way, I braced myself for the next few minutes which can either make or break my day. It was a Saturday. Usually you'd go out somewhere or lazy around in bed on the weekends but I didn't get to do that. I never did. I had one purpose and one purpose only, get good grades.
I knocked on my father's office door before coming in. "You called me, father?" I asked, my voice was polite. "Yes. Sit down." His voice was cold and indifferent.
One way led to another and I was being scolded once again. "Have you not been taking your classes? Your mother specifically signed up for an academy since your grades have been dropping. What is wrong with you? Why didn't you get first place on your last test?! Do you know how big of a disappointment it is for me to see that Mark's son beat you by 1 point? You're pathetic, H/n. I expected so much better from you."

I stared into the ambyss before I zoned back into reality. I looked down at my cup noodles, my appetite was gone but I couldn't throw these away so I ended up eating them. This time however they tasted like shit, like absolute garbage. Maybe it was because it was a shitty week but I was so close to losing control and throwing the whole cup away.

I took a deep breath as I finished eating. I threw the empty container in the trash before going to the fridge. I took out a water bottle before opening it and chugging it. I closed the fridge door before going outside in the backyard. I walked around for 10 minutes before going back upstairs.

I finally reached my bed and face planted straight on it. I was exhausted to say the least.
