ALORA

'Your smile.'

New days came and passed, new things happened, but those certain words are not leaving my mind for a single moment.

I am tired. Of getting flustered. It kept coming back in my mind at any time, any moment, making me flustered.

According to my mind I am feeling this way because of some different kind of feeling. It doesn't make any sense though.

I am tired of feeling this way while I don't even know what it means. It means I am insane. Right.

But on the other side, I am so happy to get informed that Domenico is really pissed off. I could literally sense his frustration, his shouting on his men and asking how did that happen and all from sitting here. And it makes me satisfied with what I did.

On the other hand, I am exhausted by continuously repeating those words- his words in my mind.

To distract my mind from those words, I tried to play the dare game with Max.

"Call your crush and confess to her." I dared him.

His eyes widened but he grinned as if he was waiting for a chance or purpose to do that. Wait... Max has a crush?

For real?

"I will let you know when I will be done." He winked at me and went away in a blink.

Well, let's see what is coming ahead.

"Hey, Alora. What's up?" Rome came with a bright smile and sat beside me.

"Hii Rome."

"Why are you sitting here alone?"

"Just like that." I replied huffing.

He scanned my face while narrowed his eyes at me, "You okay?"

"Y-yeah." It caught me off guard.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Rome." I smiled to assure him. "I am completely fine."

But to be honest I am not. I am not okay at all. Not because of the depression but the unknown feelings in my heart.

How can I be so dumb? That I can't understand my own feelings? It makes me feel so mad at myself.

After a few moments, Rome also left me to complete his remaining tasks. At this moment I am missing that hangout day in the middle of that forest when we played hide and seek and climbed up the tree all together.

I had so much fun that day. I wish we could have gone somewhere like that again.

Wishing to go outside, I didn't realise when I started scrolling my phone.

"What happened?" An unwelcome deep voice came. I turned to the voice and there he was.

Ughhhh... the hacker of my mind is here.

Act normal, Alora. Don't let him piss you off more.

So, I looked at that person who is standing with a hand in his pocket while with the other hand he is rubbing the back of his neck.

"Nothing." I watched him take a seat just beside me.

"Well, are you free right now?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

Can't he see I am dying of boredom?

Yet I smiled. Obviously it was fake. "No, as you can see I am using my phone which means I am very busy right now."
