Today's playlist-Different World (by Alan walker)

"Lilly, you're again forgetting your car key, what's up with you these days?"

My dad was standing in the living room with his formal bag in left hand and reminding me that I left my car key which I purposely did that.

"Actually, I'm planning on taking the bus to school. "

"What's wrong with your car? Don't you like it? I can buy you a new one if you want."

"What! A new car!" My hand stopped midway to reach at the door handle and I was staring at him. Sometimes I forgot that he wasn't my real father, infact; he was probably a good dad to his daughter in this parallel universe who wasn't me. I couldn't tell him about that otherwise my butt would definitely land in some asylum of California.

"Uhmm... Thanks dad, but I don't need a new one, actually I'm in the mood of taking a bus today "

'William, why don't you drop her at school?" My mother interrupted the conversation between dad and me.

"I will honey, but you know, there's an important meeting today and her school is in the opposite direction. "

"You both need to calm down. Don't worry about me, I can go by myself. "

After saying goodbye to both of them, I hurriedly took steps out of the house before they convince me to drive in my car.

I was walking on the pavement with my bag on one shoulder. I was wearing skinny blue jeans with grey sweatshirt. As I walked, light breeze softly danced with my hair making them tangled and I couldn't be more at peace as I watched, the sky was changing colour from purple to orange shade. If I had known better,I would've remained like this.

Out of nowhere, a car halted beside the pavement, making me, to take a step back in fright. I clutched my chest to normalize the quickened breath.

Which moron gave the license to this driver?

My curiosity was short lived, when a grey eyed monster came out of that black car wearing faded black jeans with red t-shirt under the black jacket. His neck tattoo was all on the show to see.

"Where're you going, Princess?"
I decided to ignore Keith, there was no point arguing on useless things. When I started sauntering again, he spoke up to stop me going farther.

"Why aren't riding your Porsche car?
What? Your chauffeur got sick. Eh!"

"I'm planning to take the school bus." I replied with tight-lipped smile on my face. I didn't want to start any argument with him but he was doing a great job to make me do the opposite.

"Well, good luck with catching the bus, I'm sure if you run at superwoman's speed you can catch one. Yo! Go cheerleader captain."

"What do you mean by running? "

"If your dumb brain could have thought properly, you would have known that school bus leave at 7:00 "

"What! 7:00 am! " I put my hand in the front pocket of my jeans and brought out my smartphone in front of my eyes. It was showing 7:35 am on the screen.

I bit my lip in agitation. I should have asked mom about the timing if I wasn't so busy avoiding her.

Now, there's no way I can reach on time just by walking on feet.

Later, I heard the noise of engine reviving, it was evident that Keith was already in his car ready to go school.

Having no other way , I started proceeding to school at faster pace.
