Trapped

An Angel.

I hated waking up early in the morning. I deliberately chose afternoon classes so that I don't have to wake up early in the morning.

*phone rings*

Declined.

*phone rings*

Whatttttt...

Sam- Hey girl, wakie wakie.

Me- what do you want Sam? Let me sleep.

Sam- whatttttt... you're still sleeping? Its almost noon girl.. take your ass off the bed and freshen up. I'll pick you up in an exact 30 mins.

Me- No way... *yawns*

Sam- Yes way... Lazy bear.

I heard Sam talking to mamma in the kitchen. "Sam come here", I shouted. She came inside my room looking absolutely gorgeous. She had natural waves. She had loosely side- braided her hair. She was wearing a plain cami top and denim shorts. She had a solid collection of sneakers. Today she was wearing her favourite DIY white converse. She whistles **

"You look hot," she said. Yeah right, in this towel that is barely covering my butt, I hissed. She knew I would need help to choose clothes. She cursed while raiding my closet. You have so many clothes but you always wear those old looking sweatpants, she yelled. After arguing for a while we finally settled for a yellow skort and white cami top. I somehow managed to do a messy bun. We were about to leave when Sam yelled: "wait". I saw a familiar pendant in her hand. I asked, "where did you find this?"

It was in your drawer she replied. I realised my eyes started to get moist. Casson gave me this pendant on my 18th birthday. He bought two similar pendants. He gave me one and kept the other one. He believed we complete each other, just like this pendant. But...

Alaïa. Alaïa.. what are you thinking?

I saw Sam making me wear that pendant.

Its nothing I lied. Let's go...

Even though, it been a few months since I met Sam, we became very close. Sam was really sweet to everyone. I knew I could share my every joys and sorrow with her but I haven't. Like everyone else, she is still unaware of the part of my life I have trapped inside my heart.

If everyone comes to know about it. Either they might hate me or feel pity. I didn't want both...

We didn't have our classes today. So we decided we'll go for thrifty and watch Netflix at my home later. Sam was an expert thrift shopper. She knew how to find a gem in a coal mine. She was busy selecting clothes for herself.

Unknown- You're looking cute gummy bear.

Me- Excuse me? Who are you? How did you get my number?

Unknown- Don't be so impatient angel. You'll get to know me when the time comes. By the way, I like what you're wearing esp. your pendant.

I felt cold chills down my spine. I scanned the thrift store to check if someone is following me. There were so many people there I couldn't recognise anyone.

Sam Finished her shopping and I asked her to get back home as I'm not feeling well. She agreed. She dropped me home and went back. We dropped our Netflix plans as I was too distracted to watch anything. I took a hot shower and went to the kitchen to eat something. I knew no one is home today as they went to attend a colleague's party and took li'l Rio as well. I opened my fridge to see pad Thai I decided to eat that for dinner tonight. It was drop-dead silence in my house. I wasn't afraid to stay alone but today this silence was bothering me. I felt someone was watching me constantly.

I quickly grabbed my food and ran inside my room. I locked my room and checked the lock twice. I opened my laptop to finish watching Series 'Pretty little liars'. I have been watching this series for the last few weeks. So, I thought I was paranoid about someone watching me constantly.

I finished eating my pad Thai It was so yummy. I wish I could eat more but I would put on weight if I eat more. I need to watch my weight.

Unknown- You're looking hot on that towel. You better put your clothes on before I come for you.

I was shell shocked. I closed my windows and curtains. I changed into my PJs and covered myself with a blanket. I was still shivering but slowly drifted to sleep.

Unknown- Good girl, those PJs are cute 😉.

Someone slowly removes her blanket. She is still sleeping. But...
