Love's Spell...

chapter 1

Beep beep beep!!
Urgh!! I tried to open my eyes but because I got in bed late last night they are just being heavy.
Beep beep beep!!
Darn! I reached for my alarm beside my mattress and turn it off. I sat up on mattress in Indian style. Then it clicked me i'm gonna be late. I quickly ran towards bathroom which is attached to my room or rather you can say store room...Yeah store room is my room and I just use this room for sleeping purpose as all day I'ld be busy with work. I did my daily business quickly. I came out of my bathroom in towel wrapped around me and put on my cloths quickly and rushed towards kitchen. I stopped in my tracks seeing my aunt standing in drawing room. I felt terrified. I slowly made my way towards her.

"So...sorry...a..aunt..actually..." I shudder but before I can complete my sentence I felt a hard sting on my left cheek. Sure it'll leave mark there. I cringe at the pain as I placed my hand on my cheek.

"You are just useless. Who will prepare breakfast for us? Don't you know Lisa like to have her breakfast on her bed? Now get your good for nothing ass to kitchen and start working." she shouted at me and left.

I quickly rushed to kitchen wiping my uncontrollable tears and started preparing breakfast for them. They treat me as their maid. I don't complain because atleast I have roof on my head or else where will I go. I miss my mom and dad so much. More tears kept rolling down. After finishing my work i washed my face took my bag and left for my class. I walk to my class. It's an half and hour walk aunt don't allow me to borrow car. Lisa use the car instead.

I quietly enter my class I don't like attention so I always occupy back corner seat in classroom.

"Hey..good morning.... beautiful" stella greeted and continued "Wa..wait... wait.... let me see.." Stella stopped to examine me. Stella is my best friend rather i would say only  friend I have.

I looked up from my book to look at her.
"What?" I asked

"Your aunt hit you again, didn't she? She asked frowning

"N..no..s..she didn't" I said stammering and hiding the bruise.  Gosh why I always stammer when I lie.

"Don't you dare lie to me. I can see it clearly they are finger marks on your cheek" she said while taking my hair away from my bruised cheek. I hissed at her touch.

"Oh my god anaira..why are you tolerating her and torturing yourself?? Look at you you're beautiful, intelligent, now you even have a job to you. Why don't you leave your bitchy aunt's house?" She asked angrily.

"Stell please, she's still my aunt don't use harsh words towards her.," I said calmly. Though she hits me, tortures me she's still my aunt and they're the only family I have.

"And I can't leave them, Stella. where will I go? I don't have enough money to rent an apartment.. Besides, it's been only a week since I have started working. I can't leave that house..not At least now.." I added trying to explain my situation.

"But..." Stella was interrupted by our professor's entry. Stella always  says that I should stay with her in her house where she lives with her parents. I don't want to be a burden on someone.

Soon lecture got started. As always Stella was sleeping in class while I was paying attention to what Mr.mark was teaching us. I wonder how someone can sleep when they've just woke up. I shook Stella to wake her up as our class was over. We head to our next class and soon we left to be at our job. We both work as a part-time waitress at a cafe called 'Rolla coasta'. This cafe is the most famous cafe in town. It's crowded all the time. It is not that fancy and all but is quite decent. We got to our work as soon as we arrived. It's compulsory to wear café's apron during working hours. Though I work for money while Stella works only to pass her time and stare at hot boys. She's crazy but I love her.
