Searching Paradise

Chapter 3.1. The Edginess

Irisha was feeling very dizzy and restless the next day. She decided to take leave from the classes so that she could rest. But she was still  feeling restless after eight hours of sleeping. It was a warm summer day. She took her favourite book and went to lawn to read and relax. She sat in the shade and started reading. For the first time in her life, she wasn't able to concentrate on reading. That helpless girl was still coming to her mind again and again. She couldn't help thinking about her. She didn't know what was the connection between them but she wanted to help her badly. It was her nature to help everyone in need. She wanted to fight evil and spread the good around everywhere but the that was not easy thing to do. She could try and play her part in making this world bearable. she had seen, known and felt the pain. No one could understand better than her, If only she had some power.........

'ughhhh... Here I am thinking again. Why am I unable to focus? What in the hell is wrong with me?' She thought. ' I have been seeing these nightmares as long as I remember, but I have never felt restless this much after having that vision or whatever it was.' She was confused. She wanted answers to her questions. She got irritated and slammed the book shut. She came back to her room. She turned on the fan and sat by her study table. She picked up her diary and started to write,

'Sometimes in life you feel so restless and helpless that you will unable to breathe. You will feel suffocation everywhere around you. You will feel like choking. You will want to scream but won't be able to do so. Why? Because you are a grown up person after all.' She paused. She remembered something from long ago. It was kind of blurry bur she could still remember it a little...

It was that night when she had fight with her best friend. She had blamed her for no reason. She was transferred to her best friend and neighbour, Reyna's school. Reyna was an intelligent girl. She was always on the top of her class. It became a custom. No one could beat her. She was kind of proud of it. She was the topper after all, but it changed after Irisha transferred to Reyna's school. Irisha thought they would come closer and their bond will become stronger. It was happening until the result of final term was announced. Her notes was stolen before exams. She had to make her notes again. Both of them worked hard. When the result was announced, Irisha got the first position. She was good in studies like Reyna, maybe more than her. Everyone was congratulating her. She excused herself and looked for Reyna. She was nowhere to be seen. She searched her everywhere but all in vain. At last, she had to come home alone because it was late and her mom would be worried about her. So reluctantly, she left. When she reached her street, she saw Reyna with someone, probably Cathy, their new neighbour.  She felt hurt because she had left school without telling her. It had never happened before. She went straight toward them. 

"Hey Irisha, I heard you topped the class this time. Congratulations." Cathy greeted her with a smile.

"Thanks Cathy." She smiled back. She turned to Reyna then and opened her mouth to say something but she left saying she had something to do and that she was tired. Irisha was shocked to see her behaving that way.  Cathy noticed her expression and asked.

'Are you okay? You don't look well.'

"I am alright, Thanks."  She replied. 'You say, do u like your new home?'

'ohh yes I do. I like changes from time to time.' They chatted for a while then both of them left for their homes. She was about to enter when Cathy called her, 'Irisha!'

'Yes?' she turned. 'Don't worry about Reyna. She is just tired and in a bad mood. Her mom was scolding her for some unknown reason. I didn't hear much but just give her some time.' Cathy said.

Irisha sighed. 'yes I know. Thank you by the way.' Yeah she was in a bad mood but she was talking to Cathy just fine and no matter how her was mood was, She had never behaved this way to Irisha.

It was the first time Reyna had ignored her.
