Gloom and Glow

The House

Selena

        There is a place called Weinsburg where everyone has a dream to chase. Whether it is true love, luxury, or even the top career. There are many legends surrounding Weinsburg, especially because even its ground was filled with treasures, like tiny geodes with hidden gems inside it.  A student studying  Geology like me too has a dream, to be the best gem hunter. My look is fairly simple, I have reddish-brown wavy hair, dark blue eyes and I constantly wear a headband on my head and my skin is an ivory color.

            Sadly, for a person with such great dreams, my brain does not match them.

         It was time for me to leave after screaming happily at the Weinsburg bridge while wearing my hoodie as a belt with a pink T-shirt with a white bear design on it, black inner, and my long white trousers. Screaming at the bridge is something I do on a daily a monthly basis. Just get all the stress out from me, and my friend, Elina, was looking at me in disappointment.

           I turned around and held both of her shoulders, with a worried look on my face. "Seriously El, how do I even study?"

           "I mean, just stop adventuring and start studying?" She suggested.

          "Did that!" I said, puffing my cheeks.

        "You are hopeless," she sighed, it was normal for many people to look at me with a disappointed look on their faces, I don't have a lot of friends, just a small circle, but it was enough for me to get around this place, I moved to Weinsburg a few years back. I got a scholarship to study here, but I was saddened that I couldn't score on tests lately.

          "I thought you said you have to rent a house?"

        My mouth opened wide, and I started screaming, as I realized that I had forgotten completely about it, and my rent contract was nearly over. I started running, "oh, I nearly forget my contract is nearly over! Thanks!"

         "START PUTTING REMINDERS!" She screamed, and I could hear her sighing from a distance, sorry dear friend. 

            "Hope she doesn't do something stupid."

           After running around the town, with many papers in my hand for rent and places I could rent, I ran into a problem; the rent is expensive for each place. I might have to work part-time if this goes on, and I don't want to skip classes to work part-time. That's not something I would like to do often.

         While I was reading those papers, I accidentally tripped and fell to the front to the ground as the paper flew around. Why am I so unlucky?

         "Am I the most pitiful person alive?" I asked myself while I was feeling sad on the ground.

       No, I should wake up. I have a dream to work on.

         I started sitting up and spotted someone in the same position as me, crying on the ground. He had dark black hair that reminded me of a crow. It was straight and short. He had fingerless gloves on his hands and white trousers and was wearing a black jacket, the type you could use zip.

        "Please, I just need ten bucks," he mumbled on the ground.

        I got closer to him and touched his head, I knew this dude was familiar.

         "Oh, it's you, Terry?"

         In an instant, he sat up looking at me, showing his face. I loved his cyan blue eyes, but I had a feeling those were just contact lenses. He had a face mask on his face, covering his mouth. His skin was quite pale, I don't understand why it was that pale.
