Hey Pretty Stranger

・❥・ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ-1 What did I just do?

Life's a mess. Well, life is a mess for everybody. But I thought my life was going pretty smoothly until that day. It was a nice day, bright sun shining in the blue sky, nothing unusual, just my fate wasn't with me that day I guess. I still remember that moment very clearly in my mind. Did you know the most embarrassing moments are never forgotten in your mind? They haunt you day and night until you are used to them. But I'm not used to it yet! Yeah, you guessed it right. An embarrassing moment that was, which I'm talking about. So I'll start my little story now.

I swear that I checked my emails the very last night before going to sleep. But when I woke up, there was a freaking important mail saying that today is the meeting day of the student council. And it was sent two days ago. I rubbed my eyes, maybe I was still dreaming. I pinched myself and duh, it wasn't a dream! It was a fucking reality!

Why didn't anybody tell me about this at the university! I could have prepared myself earlier.

Ugh...there's nothing I can do now. Except getting myself ready in under thirty minutes and reach the university even if I look like a bear who has just woken up from its six months deep slumber, with my hairs all tangled up on top of my head.

Anyway, so I got ready and put everything in my bag; all the documents and stuff that I might need today.

"Meeeow."

Oh right. How can i forget her. I looked up at the ceiling and sighed. Then I looked down at the bundle of furs rubbing against the fabric of my leggings and smiled.

"Mewww?" She looked up at me blinking her crystal blue eyes. I had always found them mesmerizing, and comforting whenever I felt like I could not take it anymore.

"You want me to pet you? Hmm?" I picked her up in my arms gently and pecked her on her head while stroking her soft furs with affection. Her name is Meridith, my cat. And I love her more than anything just like she loves me⎯

"Ouch." I winced as she bit me on my finger.

⎯Or not. I take my words back.

"Hey you!" I ran after her as she jumped out of my arms and sprinted towards the kitchen.

"You were just being nice with me because you wanted food huh?" I put my hands on my waist and narrowed my eyes at her, her forelegs pawing at the cabinet door where I always keep her pet food.

"Sigh. Fine, someday I'll get my revenge on you," I grumbled and opened the cabinet taking out her food cans and serving the breakfast for Her majesty.

After that, I went to the café near my home and grabbing a takeaway sandwich and coffee, dashed off to the university. I don't care if I'm looking like a starving beast eating its meal devilishly while walking but I need to feed myself before a long day ahead of me.

I have to hurry because I don't think Camila is going to forgive me this time. She is the leader of our council and God knows, she was already pissed off from me. Last time that I got late and messed up the documents in the meeting she had said, "I'm telling you, Jenkins. One more time and I'll throw you out of here." I had just nervously laughed at that time, which I'm currently doing too.

I think it's time to get eaten alive by the female devil.

I was on my way to the entrance of the university building but my heart stopped when I saw them in the distance. It was my uncle and aunt standing there, right in front of the entrance gates. And they didn't look pleased at all. Why, God, why did they have to be here today?

Taking a deep breath, I crossed my fingers, and started walking past them. I pulled my baseball cap a little more down towards my face so that my face isn't in plain sight. I just hope they don't recognize me.
