I closed the window and hurried towards the door. I tried opening it.....locked. Okay, excellent. Now what?
Think, think.....there has to be some way. Maybe I can use some pin to open the lock.
So I searched for a hair pin, but there was none. Then I searched for any sharp object, that's what they show in movies, right? Take a pin, then put it inside the lock and then twist it right and then left and tada the lock opens. But my plan was a flop since I couldn't find anything. Okay, no problem think about something else.
What about I push it till it opens?
No, I'll end up breaking my shoulder. Okay not possible!! Plan change! What if I ask Maya, she can help me escape..... bad idea, she herself told me told no one has ever escaped, nor anyone can, so she basically has never thought of escaping and cannot help me. Great....
I couldn't think of anything else, it felt like the cells in my brain have gone numb. I decided it was better to take some rest. So I jumped on my bed and closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to come and take me to the lands of dreams. But that did not happen. Everytime I closed my eyes, i still sensed him near me, I was helpless, I just couldn't remove the fact from my brain that he...he did something I could have never imagined in my life.
Me, Bella Hasting's of all, who has never even kissed a boy. Bella, who is invisible to the boys of her class, who the girls of her class just remember when they need some help with some project work. I have never been in the wanna be list of school, I was always the girl who used to sit in the corner of her classroom and people used to ignore me. I have never been able to compete with the girls of my school who were beautiful with pretty faces, long legs and a perfect body. The boy whom I had crush on never noticed me, there was a time when I was totally mad for him and used to wait in the corridor to see him but his eyes never landed on me. He didn't even knew that there was someone named Bella in his school until he was my partner in a group project. It was then I realised that I am nothing more to people than a "help kit" who is remembered only in need.
My parents always told me that helping others was a good act, so I never had any issues with the fact that people came to me with their work to be done, but when I realised what the reality was, it pained me. It hurted me and from there on I became more reserved and used to avoid people as much as possible. That was the reason for me having only one friend, Venissa. She was only one who knew everything about me and was my exact opposite, where I was the reserved one, she was a bubble of energy ready to explode. We were a perfect match. She changed me a lot, she helped me through my disturbed phase and I made sure I did the same. My parents were happy with my friendship with her cause she helped me opened up. Our parents were co-workers and before that friends. My father worked as a manger in a company and Venissa's father wass also in the same company as a sales executive. My mother was a housewife whereas Venissa's mother was a teacher in high school. We used to have dinner and parties together. That was the reason we were best of friends. I was missing her now, if she would have been here, she would have kicked asses. I missed everybody. Papa, mummy and Roselle and Steven.
I wished I would have never chosen that road that day and should have went home through the other road, I would have not been here today. But now I can't change what's done. I need to find ways to get back home. And I'll make sure I go home, one way or the other.

A knock at the door woke me up. I looked outside the window and the daylight was fading and the sky was blue and gold. It was beautiful.
"Still sleeping?" Maya spoke from behind me.
"No" I replied while getting up.
"Okay, then eat something, I see you haven't eaten anything from the morning. So please eat" she spoke while keeping the food on the nightstand.
