The Geranji Ships

Yuanace #3: Dreams will remain dreams

Autumn will always be my most favourite season. The ombre tones of the leaves all around the ground feels like pieces of the sun have fell down and the bright yellow leaves that fell younger reflect their youth while the darker tangerine ones have a deep resemblence with Shangri-la.

Under the beautiful sunset, a steamed and cream colored carpet was spread wide like a red carpet towards an enchanting alter. White Jasmine and Roses adorn the limp poles of the pillars that support it. It all felt like a dream.
I looked down to see that an alluring white-fondant colored dress was wrapped around me. I looked back to see Xen there, standing with a bouquet of roses in a splendid tuxedo.

Walking towards him, a smile was plastered on my face. When i reached him, I told him
"I do"

'SPLASH' "I don't!! Hehehehe" Graceful's face was drenched with ice water as she stared up to see her sister, Faithful.

"Oh my God! You are so annoying!" Graceful screamed as she took out a pillow to throw at her but failed.

The water had drenched her upper body and she was more wide awake with the creative waking of her sister.

She got out of bed to get ready as she screamed to Faithful, "Why did you do that?"

"Because your late to school and mom's calling you." She screamed freely as she ran around the house with her finger bandaged.
Apparantly, getting her finger cut was an apt reason for Faithful to stay at home to 'rest' when her real intention was to play and annoy her sister instead.

Graceful turned towards the clock and took a double take

7.50 am!!
School starts at 8! How did I ever wake up so late?

Graceful checked her clock to check the alarm but became furious when she realized it was manually turned off by someone.

She knew that someone.

"Faithful!!!!! You switched off my alarm didnt you?!" She was furious as she was wearing her clothes for school.

Out of hurry, she wore a comfy dark washed jeans with a simple white tee.
She snatched her bag and rushed down with some gum in her mouth.

Checking her phone, she found out about the return of Tequila to Geranji which was scary as she was out for only two people she has blood-borne hatred towards; R.J and Mithranee. This in a way added another enemy by the name of Vanilla but Graceful always remained neutral despite her best friend's troubles purely with the fact she did not want to involve herself into something she could not get out from.

Tequila was and is a scary woman and there was no one denying that.
(Although in a way Vanilla is also terrifying but they have barely met one another but Graceful knew in her heart the day those two catastrophes meet, its the day the world sinks)

Faithful cleverly made the decision to escape her older sister's wrath and was outside her garden while her mother was inside preparing food.

"Im getting late mom, so i won't have breakfast!" Graceful shouted as she scrambled out of the door and ran to school.
She had a foreboding feeling in her stomach in the form of rumbling and queasiness that resembled rats knawing her plexuses in her anterior wall. But for all she knew, she presumed it might be her hunger.

Her mind recalling the events of her dream, Graceful remembered what made her dream of him like that in the first place... all due to yesterday's incidents.

Graceful internally cheered and did a happy dance as she sat with the breathtaking Xen. She still found it surreal to be partners with him but she knew it had to be an indication from god.
She had memorized everything about the cosmetic industry on the preparation of cosmetic products; from extraction, preparation and marketing.
Once he sat next to her, his attractive face so close, she felt like she was fainting but gripped on tight to the edge of the table to remain conscious next to him.
When Xen asked her about what she thought, she babbled what she carefully memorized the previous night, a bit too fast for a human but she was unaware until she finished rambling.
However, and luckily, he just stared at her, hopefully in awe and admiration, and then said, "Wow, your smart."
Graceful smiled knowing she had impressed him and he started talking about the importance of flouride to be controlled in skincare products in which she gladly joined the talk.
At the end of the session, after Mithranee ran away from the classroom, he turned over to tell her he enjoyed and is looking foreward to working with a woman like her. Literally called her a woman!
It was a long fangirl moment that made her forget about visiting Mithranee though. This caused her to be upset and not walk with her-

'BOM!' A loud thud was heard right before Graceful felt a huge gush of wind infront of her, snapping her off from her flashback.

Right infront of her was a scene that was gruesomely unfolded, baffling her.

She had ended up in the middle of the traffic road walk with the red light still on and the school right infront.

She looked down, beads of sweat forming at her neck as an foreboding feeling creeped in her stomach familiarly.

A lifeless and unmoving body laid in front of, a very gorey approach, almost.

It was possible he might have a minor concussion as there was no visible bleeding.

Almost

Graceful was sure she knew him because it was very obvious who he was. The familiar huge buff body, supported with a brown charcoal skintone and riveting tatoos traveling up his arm, it was all trademark features of the one and only notorious character;

Jailer

His back was facing her, and the way his ankle was twisted, surprisingly only might have a sprain. Right next to him was his dull green backpack with his contents all spilled out;
Protein shake, cigars, sunglasses and a laptop.

Thats Mithranee's Chromebook!

It looked like it was freshly repaired, especially after the whole incident that occured yesterday which resulted in Jailer literally snapping Mithranee's laptop into half and even looking smug about it.

Well this was more apologetically sweet than anything else. Which led to how he even ended up knocked down.
For a man like Jailer, it was actually impossible to kill him with bare hands at against his normal brute force; let alone when he is angry.

The way he was hit was able to kill any normal being very easily, the 500 horsepower involved and a silver mercedes-benz is deadly.. very deadly.

All Graceful could do then was stay rooted to the ground, it was a very scarily shocking experience to have been inches away from death. A man like Jailer could handle damages that can kill a Scorpian. But it definately could'nt have applied to Graceful or any other human in general.

She was snapped from her stance of the chaos infront of her as she heard a very high-pitched and all-too-familiar voice.

She whipped her head up, her heart in her mouth, but took a double take at the sight in front of her.

There was a silver Mercedés -Benz two-seater with tinted glass windows but the windshield was transparent enough to let her see the culprit who had knocked down the only competitor to the Burj Kalifa;

It was Xen at the steering wheel, his eyes boggled in shock and his (cute) mouth agape

Right next to him was Tequila

and she was screeching with a smile upon seeing her

Vanilla's back and happy!!! Whooo. I enjoy this book and might be trying to focus to get this and HR going. Do let me know how long should I let this book go cuz its more like a drama series to me than a proper book of a sort.

- Perluxes and the Anterior wall is part of the stomach lining
