Chasing Elysian

1. Minute Change

Rosanna's P. O. V:

Setting my laptop aside, I stood up in a flash, losing balance momentarily as my vision alternated between blurry and black.

A groan rolled off my tongue as I held my head up, staggering to the bathroom.

Kudos for my lack of exercise and unhealthy habits. They go hand in hand to my demise.

Random thoughts enveloped my head as I splashed water on my face and began my daily routine.

Staring at my image in the mirror, I wondered about the impression I'd give to the people I meet.

Cat-like glassy brown eyes with sharply outlined double eyelids. Thick, medium sized eyelashes. High cheekbones, plump red lips and a somewhat roman nose? What do they call my type? Not pointed, and having it's curves more obvious at the tip. Similar to a button nose.

And finally, thick eyebrows and an oval face.

I'd think I look good... according to my preferences.

Suddenly the bathroom lights flashed and I was stuck with momentary darkness.

What...?

Nope. Not eerie at all. Let's also ignore that red light that came up when the lights were restored.

Dropping my rinsed brush on the sink, I blinked slowly wondering if what I saw in the mirror was reality.

Slowly turning my head and hoping I was hallucinating, I saw a red vortex hovering behind me. Spinning fastly yet silently like a predator in the dark.

The room was deathly still. And an odd premonition crept it's way into my heart.

"Mama-!"

I yelped as a huge suction force pulled me into the vortex.

Fudge!!

...

I rubbed my eyes in shock as I stood before my bathroom.

Now, what the actual fudge just happened?

Wasn't I sucked into that red whirlpool? Did I not leave my bathroom?

What?

I... was hallucinating?

I looked back once more and saw my bathroom perfectly normal. My brush kept in the exact place it was and my damp face remaining the same.

Do I... really need to see a doctor? That was so real! I could've sworn I saw a red vortex that sucked me in. The feeling and image were all very real but what is this??

Maybe there's something wrong with me.

I sighed. Too much wattpad and webnovel is turning my reality into fiction. I rubbed my temple with a despondent look.

Wait, is that bad?? Living in a wattpad world? Yup. Too stressful.

Anyways, I tried to focus on what was at hand. I'd either search up my symptoms on google or see a doctor.

.

Warm water prickled down my skin and I relaxed at the therapeutic feeling it gave me. Washing my hair and body, I went out the shower and dressed up.

Once more, confirming I hallucinated. I'm still in my familiar home, everything intact and nothing out of ordinary.

I mean, if ordinary was considered a tower of books and papers in almost every corner of my room.

Funny how I just swept yesterday but my Author habits have rekindled the mess. As usual.

I dressed up in my attire prepared for the day. A baggy peach trouser, white turtleneck sweater and a long black jacket.

Going along with my multicolored small shoulder bag and white sneakers. I greatly admire my odd taste.

Stepping out of my house, I shivered at the cool wind that raised the hairs on my skin. Desiring to go back indoors but alas, life.

What would today hold for me? I anticipate this new chapter in my life. Especially when it entails people. It's not fun to be in a crowd but it definitely is fun to watch one. And where do you do that? Near the crowd!

Onwards! To College! Haha!

Some false confidence to make up for the lack of it.
