Forbidden Desires (#1 in the destined desires series)

Chapter 4: 𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙩

I sat and watched the sun rising back up yet once again, enjoying the peacefulness of the early morning.
I had woken up early and thought, why not see the sunrise?

I have always loved sunrises, for me, Sunrise often symbolizes new beginnings, hope, and renewal. It represents the end of difficult times, the end of darkness, and the promise of a fresh start, much like the dawn of a new day.
According to my mom, as a kid, I used to wake up early and sneak up to the roof to watch the sunrise and almost scare my parents into a heart attack because they would spend an hour looking for me only to find
me upstairs watching the sunrise.

I click a few pictures of the piece of art, get up dusting off the dust from my pajamas and head down to get ready for the day and take a quick (not-so-quick) shower and get dressed in my cherry crochet top and black jeans.
I head downstairs for breakfast and see my mom, dad and brother- Blake about to devour their meal that I can already smell. Pancakes. Yum

"Blakeee," I say and practically jump on my brother.
"Hi ris," he says ruffling my hair and kissing me on the forehead.
"I can't believe I'm saying this to you but I missed your dumbass," I say while hitting him on the head for ruffling my hair.

"uh first of all rude, second of all---Mooom! Iris hit me," he says sticking his tongue out.
"What are you, five-?"
"No three," he says cutting me off.
"Figures," I say as I head to the fridge, grab my smoothie, and sit down for my yummy pancakes, which I quickly finished my breakfast, because Dad mentioned dropping me off at school on the way to work.
"ok byebye guys~~  ti amo," I say and head out to my dad's car .

Once I get to school I head straight towards my locker, where I see Ryder standing next to Brittany whispering something in her ear that makes her giggle and bite her lip.
Ew. Gross.

After taking my things, I head towards my class and see Ryder walking the same way, so I try to go and talk to him.

I tap him on the shoulder but before I can even say anything, he speaks up "I'm sorry do I know you? I dont think I do. Could you step aside, please? Maybe I'll give you my number later" he says without even sparing me a glance.

Nope. He did not just do that.
I fear if I stand here anymore I will break his bones, so I just give him a fake smile and head to the first class of the day which is English.
   
I head inside and see Lilith and Asher arguing about something. I swear these guys are going to end up together in the future one way or another. But as soon as they see me they stop bickering for some weird reason.

"what's wrong Izzy" Lilith asks me as I see her and Asher looking at me worriedly.
"Nothing," I say to them and give them a tight-lipped smile turning back to the front.
I see him walk into our class, towards us. He greets Lilith and Asher and turns to greet me, but I interrupt him before he can open his mouth I say,
"I'm sorry do I know you? I dont think I do. Could you step aside, please? Maybe I'll give you my number later" I give him a sarcastic smile and turn to the teacher as she just walked in.
Throughout the entire class  he tries to talk to me but I ignore him. As soon as the bell rings I pack my back and walk fastly to my next class.

Only a few more classes Iris. You can do this. Come on, Pull through. Don't break down in school.

Fuck.
I messed up. I didn't realize it was Iris who had patted me on the shoulder earlier, I thought it was another one of those bimbos or whatever trying to hit on me, and miserably failing, except for Brittany though. God I've got to admit, she has a hot & nice ass.

I sigh and pack my things as the last period is over. God, I can't wait to get out of this hellhole.
I get onto my bike and head straight toward home. I'm tired and I really-REALLY  need one of my mom's hugs right now.

I park my bike in the garage and head inside to greet my mom.
"mamma? sono a casa" I say and head into the kitchen suspecting she would probably be there and my suspicions were right, she was in the kitchen baking cookies.
[ma? I'm home]
"ciao tesoro, com'è andata la giornata?" my mom asks.
[hi baby how was your day]
"it was alright" I reply, "alright something is bothering you come here," she says opening her arms and inviting me for a hug. I hug and let out a sigh.
"shh it's okay everything will be fine ok? so don't worry too much and if you wanna take a small nap before dinner, go take it you seem tired," she says
"no, it's ok its almost sunset time. i think I'm going to go watch the sunset instead" I say
"of course you would. be safe." my mom says rolling her eyes and kissing me on the cheek.
I run upstairs to quickly change into something more comfortable.
I feel terrible for treating Iris the way I did today. She looked really pretty today, and she DEFINITLY had a glow-up from the last time I saw her. Only my mom knows how much I cried because I missed her, but due to certain circumstances I couldn't contact her. It would only put her in risk.

I grab my phone to see a notification from my Instagram, I open the notification to see the message.

'asher_.rutherford has created a group chat double trouble x2'

I chuckle to myself and roll my eyes. Of course, only someone as stupid as him would create a group chat named this.

I grab my headphones and head up to the terrace. I love listening to music while watching the sunset.
I've always liked sunsets for some reason. it brings comfort as sunsets can symbolize closure, the end of a chapter, or the passage of time. It can represent the completion of a journey or the conclusion of a significant phase.

It brings me some peace in this chaotic world.
