[Girl's day out]

Myra's POV:

We were woken up by a very loud bell, too disturbing to be audible and the day had gotten off to a bad start. At the moment, we were gathered in the main hall of the campus. We as in most of the first years'.

"Thank the Lord that this is not your first day, if it was and you were this late, I'd have maken sure that each one of you had at least a weeks detention. Now, I'm Mr. Dinkley, your year coordinator and head teacher so I'll be keeping a sharp eye on you. For today, you are dismissed from attending any classes as per the administration, but none of you should be seen at the campus until 5 this evening and dinner will be served at sharp 7" with that he turned around, his back facing us,

"do you understand?"

"Yes sir" we murmured in a chorus, which was mostly out of sync,

"Follow me" he said before he bagan walking, with us trailing behind him in our night wear.

"Usually night wear aren't allowed to be worn during meals or out of your dorms at any cost, but for today we will make acceptions. Just this once" one of the other teachers, who we knew as Ms. Braganza, the health teacher, informed us.

"Please enjoy your meal"

I looked across from my position at the two-seater table to face a confused Nia. She looked up from the menu card and looked at me questionly. I raised a brow.

"I don't know what to order" she whined like she was a 5 year old. I flipped through the breakfast pages. 


For a college, this place had a 5 star restaurant menu. Nia chose the classic pancakes with maple syrup and "extra vanilla ice cream" while I chose bacon and eggs.

Half way through the meal, Nia inched her face closer, speaking in a volume which could only possibly be audible to my ears.


"That boy two tables from us has been looking at you for a while" she said as she went back to slurping her soggy ice cream down her throat.

I turned around and briefly caught the guy's eyes, two tables from us,  and indeed he was staring at me. He wasn't only staring, but he was also speaking. Speaking to the boy in front of him, who had his back to me.


The boy staring at me had a fair complexion, jet black hair and eyes, a lean physique and a slightly square jaw. That was all I could describe him as.

I turned around and faced Nia once again, with her wiggling her eyebrows up and down.

"How about that? Already killing the population are we? Careful, they don't get seriously wounded" she joked making me blush.

I wasn't blushing because of that guy who was staring at me, but because the joke Nia had made out of it brought heat to my cheeks.

"Which one? Toblerone or Fererro Rocher?"

"Tough choice that one, but indeed a girls best friend is..." Nia cued in with a drum roll as I paused, "Fererro Rocher" I announced as she began clapping her hands in joy.

We had decided to spend some time stocking up on 'necessities' like chocolate.

Now we had enough chocolate to last us a month. We decided to get a cookies and cream ice cream tub and cones because we were promised that a fridge and freezer will be placed in our dorms before we return to the dormitory.

After our trip to the supermarket, we briefly stopped for lunch at a local restaurant before continuing our shopping spree.

For once in my lifetime I held some authority. For once I could go, do whatever and spend however much I'd like. There were no limits. I was free.

Is this what happiness and completeness feels like? Because I love it!

We went to jewellery stores where I brought a couple of charms for 'something' and then we did a runway model shoot at a boutique and chose outfits for eachother just for fun with matching accessories.


We had a blast, and to capture the moment, we walked into one of the photobooths located in the middle of the mall and had a selfie spree.

The prints of the photos came out amazing. In one of the three, I was playfully hugging Nia whereas she was pretending to be the queen or someone famous.

In another, we were both holding mustache stencil sticks to our faces and in the last, we were simply smiling at the camera. Well actually, Nia was sorta posing with a pout, or a duck face as they call it.

With bags in our arms and milkshake cups in our hands, we caught a taxi back to the campus.

I slumped the bags on the ground, exhausted from my first ever shopping experience.
