An Analogous Universe

Chapter 2

I woke up feeling weight up on my body. I fluttered my eyes open to see the not-so-good event happening. The sight infuriated me. Celestia was sitting up on me accompanied by Rie beside my bed . Isn't it Saturday?

"What on earth are you doing? Let me sleep!" I yelled.

"Aera, don't you wanna go to university?" Rie said with a serious expression on. Is it not Saturday?

"Isn't it Saturday?" I said, a little annoyed. I bet they are playing with me. But then again, I believe things easily.

"No, it isn't. dummy." Rie said, seriously. That made me shocked as hell, does that mean I skipped school? But then she started grinning. Wait, what?

Suddenly, both of them burst into laughter and thanks to god, Celestia was not up on me. and I understood what happened. They. Literally. Tricked. Me. I was looking at them with a 'you-don't-do-that-with-me' face as my brows were knitted together to put spice in the dish.

After eating breakfast, I went to the park. Alone. I had headphones stuffed in my ears and was listening to Sia's songs. That lady has a strong voice. I sat on a bench and started scrolling through my phone and soon enough, my eyelids were getting heavy and I couldn't but close them. And guess what? I blacked out.

I woke up with my ears catching up to the same playlist that I was listening before. I looked around to guess the time. Damn. Its already kinda dark. How many hours did I sleep? I turned my phone on and the time was around 8:30. Great. All of them are gonna scold me. Don't know about Diena though, she might be sweet enough to not torture me. I started walking to my house and some people were looking at me as if they saw some ghost. What's up with these people? I was only feeling a little warm and let me say, there is a yellow light sorrounding me that feels as if it is being casted off of me. But let us just believe in the logical explanation. Street lights.

I reached home at around 9 or something. As I got in, I was met with Celestia and Rie's deathly faces with unamused expressions. Rie signaled me to go to my room with her eyes. Look who's bossing now. "I fell asleep, sorry." I said with a sheepish smile and then I went to my room and the first thing I did was flop on my bed. Suddenly, Celestia and Rie came, opening my door a little, peeking to see if its safe or not. Then they got in, eyeing me suspiciously. I heard Diena's call. Probably from the kitchen. How nice this is to have someone older in your house!

"Rie and me are also older than you, Aera." Celestia said making me tilt my head.

"Did I say that out loud?" I asked her. She looked at the door. Maybe she didn't listen. Screw that. Since Diena has called for food, I am super hungry.

"Wash yourself and come to the table, Aera." Rie said. I obeyed her and went into my bathroom. Did my work. And I got out, found my room empty. I dressed properly, fixed my hair and went outside. Ahh! This fresh smell of amazing food! I glanced at the table and inhaled deeply to catch the mesmerizing aroma of the overwhelming food. This is so good!

"I don't think even Celestia can cook like this." I blurted earning a burning glare from the said girl. Diena just chuckled a bit.

"Drop the formalities, lets do something tonight. Its already nine thirty guys! Now, eat up." Diena said.

I started digging in my food. I don't think I said wrong about Diena's cooking being better than Celestia's. I could see her fuming from the corner of my eyes. I thought that was over?

Well, of course Diena would be better since she once worked as a chef at a three star restaurant.

We all went to my room. My room being the biggest of the four rooms was pretty simple if you think about it. A queen sized bed, a table, a huge closet and umm.. okay my room is not simple. We all sat on my bed cuz it was big enough for us. We all did not have our full body dressed, as after that we are going to sleep anyways. "So, any suggestions?" Rie asked.
