Blooming like a flower

Age-15

It was one of those summer days,
when you don't want to wake up or go to school.

The sun was shining brightly,
the rays touched my skin and I could feel the warm breeze blowing through my hair from the window near me.

I had to wake up from the nightmare that kept haunting me for several days.

My grandma shouted from downstairs "Eva, beta get up, else you'll be late for school."

I shouted "Okay, dadi"

I somehow managed to get up and went to take bath.

While, the water trickled down my body, the flashbacks of my nightmare started appearing.

It was a really strange nightmare.
I saw my parents were exchanging me for some weird looking necklace and then in a blink of an eye the whole sky turned dark and blood started raining from the clouds.
I could see more of dead bodies rising from graveyard, they all marched towards me and were calling out my name "Eva...."

I saw a shadow move behind my curtains.

I grabbed my towel and wrapped around my body. Then I slowly pulled the curtains aside, only to see Albert smiling foolishly at me.

I flushed and said "It's really inappropriate, because I'm growing up."

He came closer and leaned on me,
he was so close that I could feel his breath all over my face.

He whispered to my ears "Yes, you're growing beautiful day by day and I'm afraid of loosing you."

My cheeks turned red and he smirked.
In a teasing manner
he said "Come on, get rid of your dirty thoughts"
"Oh really? You're the one in my bathroom by the way"
I put my hands on my hips and waited for him to leave.
"Ok ma'am, as you wish, just call me whenever you'll need me"
Then He climbed out of the window.

I thought to myself, how quickly time had passed and we had grown so much.
He had become so handsome. I had seen his soft smooth glowing skin often when he used to take off his shirt while playing football.
His dark brown hair are soft which goes along with blue eyes, snow white complexion and tender pink soft lips.
He looks more cute when he's hair is all messy.
At the very thought of him my cheeks would have a tint of pink.

Grandma called out my name and I was snapped out of my dreamland.

I got out of bathroom, and started drying my hair.

I took out a pair of black jeans to go out with my smiley patterned top from wardrobe.

I got dressed quickly and looked myself in the mirror and said "Well, Eva another day you need to survive in a mental asylum filled with all kinds of crazy people. Stay strong and I hope you'll get to see the rays of sun tomorrow again."

Then I combed my hair into a braid and went downstairs.

Grandma served me milk and cereals.

I finished my breakfast quickly, kissed my grandma bid her adieu.

Then I went off to school...
