FATE: Damaged Fate (Hiatus)

Chapter 1: 32° Celsius

Crystal's P.O.V.

"Be careful on your trip," my father repeated for the nth time while helping me carry my bags. I can't believe that he's carrying my luggage despite of wearing a suit.

"I will," I said.

It's not like something is going to happen in the retreat house. People guard that place and it's like the most peaceful place on earth, nothing is ever going to happen there.

My father kissed my cheeks and bid goodbye as he entered the car and drove away. Unfortunately, he still had a long flight tomorrow.

I walk down the hallway through my room. Last year in high school. Oh dear, what to miss? As I step on the last tile before my room, I noticed something. The room became wider than I ever imagined. Is it because someday, we are going to graduate and leave this room? Is it because of the responsibility that awaits? Or maybe I'm scared to change for the better? I don't know, sadly, I feel alone and the room became suddenly bigger than it was.

A woman, neither that old nor young looking tapped the table loud enough to be heard by the whole class. She fixed her glass with a single finger and coughed a little.

"Get ready and line up in the lobby," Miss Tsukiyomi ordered.

She's our class adviser and teacher in Physics. I don't really like her; she's too weak for a teacher. It's annoying how she often cries and says, 'Why do I have to suffer with this class? What did I do to deserve this? Why am I like this?' Worst of all she gets jealous if she finds out that if one of her students is in a relationship. Ugh bloody hell, I mean seriously? I'm pretty sure she's one of the causes of break ups here.

Anyways, I went to Eya's place and sat next to her. Eya has been a dear friend to me for God knows how long. If I had to describe her, I'd say she has this exotic facial features. She has hooded eyes, thick brows, thin lips, sharp nose complemented by her dark complexion and jet black hair. She's the shortest in our group, only standing 158 cm. She's petite but I guess that somehow reflects her personality. She's the sweetest among us. She's the kind of girl who likes to wear cute and casual clothes.

She was fixing her things like she hadn't fixed it last night. I tried talking to her but I ended up having to talk to a deaf Eya today. I looked to the other side and saw Irsu nodding to Anastasia's words. I'm not sure if she's actually focusing on the words, she's pretty occupied with her phone.

Suddenly, Irsu looked at my way. Her sharp eyes, literally, would wound someone as they're daggers. She's got an intimidating aura around her, maybe it's because how she's more physically active in sports than we do. She's got a toned build and she's quite tall, standing at 165 cm, and has a fair complexion due to frequent training under the sun. Her hair is a messy brown-ish blonde that is always tide in a tight ponytail. She rarely let's it down. She's the type who always wears comfortable clothes as if she's ready to do extreme activities anytime. She always wears either a hoodie or jacket along with a sweater that would match her lose plain t-shirts and pants then sneakers.

Maybe she noticed me staring at her but then I realized, she was actually looking at Eya. Probably laughing at her in her thoughts because obviously Eya's such a lackadaisical type of person. After so, she then returned to nodding at Anastasia.

If you ask me whom among my friends is the head turner its Anastasia, the fairest of us all and adding to it is her most prized possession, her naturally bright blonde hair. She's somehow as tall as Irsu, around 163 cm. She moves gracefully all the time and wears nice clothes that are always on trend. She's afraid to dishonor the goddess Aphrodite. Right now, she's wearing white leggings partnered with her pretty sky blue sweater and fashionable accessories and leather boots. Secretly, I always await what outfit she'd wear next, she's just that fashionable.
