The ray of light struck my eyes. My consciousness regained! Is this blood that I see? Daniel is holding the knife against me. I don’t understand. Why? Why?
“Daniel, I thought you-“
He softly pulled strands of my black hair to him. Then he instantly pulled the knife out of my abdomen and let the blood rush. “See you in the nest life!” He whispered to me and started to walk away.
“D-Daniel,” I muttered his name as he looked behind to meet my dark brown eyes. I saw pearl dropping from his face. Were they tears? What was he saying? I don’t understand him. He turned towards the path and he went on. I saw blood gushing out, the sight became blurry. I knew it very well, I will die and my body will be left behind like garbage on this beautiful garden. I do not know what to do anymore.
A century later…
“Ella, wake up! Are you dreaming again?”
“Ugh!” I replied as I threw the pillow to the door. Moments later, I heard the door opened. I saw in my blurry vision a lady who was pulling my blanket. It finally registered to me.
“M-Mom,” I stuttered.
“No, maybe I am just some random lady,” Mom sarcastically replied. “Hurry up! You’ll be late for school again.”
What school? What is she talking about? It is summer, right? Wait a minute. I reached for my phone and looked at the date and time. It was May 21, 7:00 A.M. I repeat May 21, 7:00 A.M.
“Ah! I have 30 more minutes to get dressed!” I finally remembered that today was the first day of classes for my second year in college. I do not want to make a bad impression to my professors by being late. I hurriedly took a shower and I got out of the washroom with my mother holding out my clothes that I should wear.
“Thank you, Mom!” I took the clothes and dressed up. I looked at my phone again it stated 7:15 A.M. I was still on track. I just need 10 minutes to get to school on time. I kissed my mom good-bye and went to school. I’m glad that I live near my school.
Just another orientation day, nothing new, it is another old routine being done for the for the sake of formalities. I just look forward to my favourite boy band’s comeback. Comeback means their nest album release. I really do love their music and I fangirl about that group with my high school friends. I’m really looking forward to going back home to watch their comeback stage.
There is something beeping. What is it?
I was shocked as I checked my bag. I followed the beeping sound and ended up touching my phone. I checked on who has texting me. It was Lian Yu. She asked if I was free so I told her that I was. We met at our usual meeting place, the amphitheatre.
I approached the amphitheatre and I was met by a Chinese girl and a familiar looking short haired girl with smiles reaching from ear to ear.
I’m telling you they are not usually like this. Oh, they are if something good happens to our favourite boy group.
“So, what happened? Well, except for their comeback today,” I asked.
“Ella, their comeback is still 2 months and a day from now. It’s on July 22,” the short-haired girl replied.
