The doorbell is ringing and I am standing in front of the door waiting for someone to answer. Today, 6 November, was a good day. It is because it is about to end. It is 11:50 pm. November has a good and moderate weather. But sometimes it's very cold and standing here in front of the door of flat 37 on 10th floor is seriously giving me shivers. I again ring the bell and stare at the door. Then an unexpected voice comes.

"Huh! Who is it?"

"YOUR PIZZA DELIVERY!" I shout.

Then a weird woman opens the door. She is wearing a short frock and her hair is a mess and she smells so bad. Wait! It's alcohol. YUCK!

I take some steps back for not to trigger another asthma attack right now. I can't afford this.

I move my hands holding pizza in front of the lady. She takes it and goes inside to take her wallet.

"Here! I will only give you 10 dollars...because you are an hour late....now I'm not even hungry." She says.

"I'm so sorry ma'am....your location was a far way....that's why I couldn't reach here in time....my apologizes.....but you must have to pay 15 dollars was a x-large pizza." I answer.

"So what! I'm not gonna pay... what will you do? You bitch....you all are reckless.....you" she says and I don't know why but she keeps pushing me with her both hands and this time fall on the floor.

"WHAT THE HELL! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" I shout and I stand up and take a deep breath.

"I'm so sorry ma'am ....i was trying to be nice but----" I say but she interrupts me.

"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU SHOUT ON ME? I'm giving you zero rating.....NOW GET OUT!" and the door closes.

When you do something weird then you have to face the consequences. So here I am standing in front of my manager.

"Haerin....haerin...it's 4th time in this month that you are standing in front of me for your misbehave....and still you got zero rating."

"But this time it wasn't my fault it was---"

He shows a hand to make me stop.

"We will discuss this tomorrow." 

I go back to my flat. I cannot call this my home because home is made up of family members. But in this place no one lives except for me. 

So I go straight to bed and sleep.

Today at school Miss Ana asked me, Sydney, Ellie, Soren and Mary to work for her. I and Soren are putting the piles of paper in the shelf.

I don't know why but in Alaska it is thought that ever since a girl turns sixteen he or she should find a life partner. Like Man seriously! Why? It's not just in Alaska but in the whole world.

This is because people think that finding true love is very simple and easy. I guess they don't remember Romeo and Juliet that's why. Love is a difficult phenomenon and according to me it is not present in this world. There is no such person in this world who could love you forever and ever and who could die saying your name. Or spent most of the time thinking about you and loving you. These are all just fantasies. There is no such thing as true love. It is just in books and movies. If in my life I fell in love that would probably be a nightmare.

"HAERIN!" shouts Sydney.

"Yes......yes" I answer.

"Go get the stapler from my bag" she says.

"Okay!"

So I go through the back door of the faculty block just to use the shortcut. I take out the stapler and head straight back to the back door but this time a little slower.

I am so tired I slept at 2:00am and woke up at 6:00am and I feel like a hell now. I am taking small steps towards the backdoor. Then all of a sudden a man appears in front me.

 Then all of a sudden a man appears in front me

 He is none other than Conan Wilson. He stopped just as he saw me. He lowers his gaze at the floor. He is breathing hard like he has been running. He steps back and gives me way even when he is holding 3 piles of paper. I look in his eyes pure brown hazel nut eyes shining with a shimmer. I pass through the door. After me he also passes without looking back. I think I can't breathe. I will never be able to forget this moment. Because one never forgets the moment one fell in love. Sometimes the nightmares we see comes in our life but sometimes they become our whole life.
