The Moment

3. Exploring

I woke up and stretched my arms but I abruptly stopped my movement when I heard my bone-cracking sounds
"Ow- that's not a very good start"

It's already Monday which means the university is starting

I lazily headed towards the restroom

.....

I walked towards the entrance of the university
Hoping to make a friend here
But everyone in my batch will be younger than me
I guess I won't have a friend then...

I sighed and headed towards the classroom as per the given schedule.

Many students already arrived
I took my seat next to a girl
She glanced at me We exchanged smiles.
It was silent but not very much as every student was new

Suddenly the girl beside me spoke breaking the awkward silence

"Hey umm, I'm Ivy, you?"
"Oh- Harper, Nice to meet you"
"Wanna be friends?" she suggested

My first friend already!
"Sure!" I smiled

A Professor came inside
We stood up to greet.
Wondering what type of designing I chose?
It's Fashion Designing

"Good morning students, We are gonna start with basic fashion history. So, when did this all start? At the 1850s, 1858 to be precise, and... "

Learning something that we like was never a boring thing

The classes went by quickly before I knew it, it was already lunchtime.

I went with Ivy, we headed towards the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was so big cuz all block students came to eat there.

We chatted a little. On the way while settling there.

Suddenly a boy came and sat beside Ivy
She took a glance at the boy while sipping her drink

"Oh harper meet my older brother,  Ivan"
"Ivan, it's Harper"
"Hi" we both greeted at the same time
Ivy chuckled

"Have we met before?" Ivan questioned me
"No, I guess.."
"You seem oddly familiar to me. Anyway it's nice meeting you Harper"
"Nice to meet you too"
The siblings had a little chat
He took his leave, patting Ivy's head as he bid us goodbye.

Aww I wish I had a sibling perhaps they would've made me remember my memories.

Wait

What if we meet during childhood? Is he that guy...

I shrugged it off

The day went by like this.
It was all a new experience
For me to socialize so much
it's a lot of new environment for me.

Did I mention Ivy is a great friend

Tho I made her my friend today it felt like we were lost long buddies.

Maybe we were

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
After university
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As this day came to an end I happily went inside my house thinking about the friends I made.
As I opened the door
A cold breeze hit me
The windows are literally closed
Then how...

Nevermind I'm tired

Just wanna sleep as I don't have any work today

*Phone rings*

Otp:

"Hello Harper?"

"Hello, mom,
How are you and Dad"

"We are fine dear,
you?"

"I'm good"

"How was university? "

"Went well.
I made friends"
I told to her while giggling

"Oh good that you are happy.
Ate something?"

"No-"

"Eat"

"Nope you ate?"

"We did"

"Is Dad there?"

"Yes.
You wanna talk with him?"

"Yeah"

"Hello dear"

"Hi, Dad How are you doing?"

"I'm fine harper
how was your university today"

"It went well dad"

"Study hard and
take care of your health dear
we miss you"

"Sure Dad. I miss you both too"

"Bye eat and sleep well"

"You too take care bye dad"

The call ended

Now I have to eat..?
I'll just have fruit salad

As I finished my food

I got up and prepared myself to sleep.

But then a series of crashing sound startled me
The fact that I'm alone is worse in this situation
What if it's a ghost no no it can't be
I ran fast to see what fell

I found my books scattered on the ground.
As the shelf is a bit broken. At least the shelf didn't break.
Stupid of me to think that it was a ghost
I don't believe in ghost
But the people who don't believe in ghosts are the ones who often see the ghost. You know what? I believe in ghosts.

I kept those books on my study table and went towards the bedroom

Wondering who were living in this house before
I went to my room and lay down but I couldn't sleep because I couldn't help but overthink the thing that happened few moments ago but I tried to push it away as I needed to wake up tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'll ask Mom about the previous occupants of the house.
With that, I closed my eyes and went to my deep slumber.
