Entry 7
| N o v e m b e r – 26ᵗʰ |

M i a,
— Your seat is still empty —

It's making me question,
Where exactly have you been to miss
these amount of absences?

They're accumulating like the constant thoughts
questioning these doubts.

Why haven't we coincidentally crossed paths
like we used to these past months?

But more importantly,
How is your health?

Even the class prep has noticed,
and now I'm getting blamed for your lack of attendance.

I'm even beginning to blame myself.

My Dear Mia,

What will it cost to cross your
path once again?

To hear your endearing muted voice.
To feel your warmth that brightens the darkness surrounding this beating organ.

A frozen heart that's been caged, and locked up
from the moment it took its very first beating.

My lovely Mia,

What is the final price I must pay?

[Part 1]

I've been sleep deprived these past days.

Those night jobs are finally beginning to affect my day routine. It's becoming more difficult to balance out these opposite lifestyles I've haven't grown accustomed to since secondary school.

If it were up to me, I would have taken my full twenty-four hour break, and slept through it. Maybe double the hours from how exhausted I'm feeling.

But the old man keeps demanding my Academic attendance. Expecting me to exceed far above these scholars.

I'm obligated to perpetuate the Elite name I'm born under. To be leading the top ranks even within the shadows.

How could I disobey my old man?

:

I yawn as I finally managed to get a gap in my finalized schedule. How did I do it? I got thrown out for taking a light nap during lectures. The professor wasn't so fond of my mature dream description when I was asked to share openly with the class.
