Hazel's POV

Sun's gone in minutes. Hundreds of voices are crying across the auditorium, everyone celebrating the last get together of high schools. Every one is hugging each other, kissing and a lot more. There are many couples dancing on the floor, covering many corners of the auditorium.

The air is full of music, emotions, love,gossips and dance. I am definately going to miss my school days. I am not the typical girly types, I was dressed in formals rather than a gown. Every one around are in either black or red gowns. It did not make me feel awkward or out of world as I never cared of what people thought about me, instead it made me feel loner.

I was thinking 'whats next', how will the holidays be as I had no plans for going out of connecticut. My part time job could just support my studies and my basic needs, nor I had won a lottery to afford any imaginary plan. I was alone ever since my parents died in an accident. I lived with my granny for about five more years when she too left me alone.

I was up with my thoughts when Paul brought me a drink. He was one of my brotherly gay friend. He broke the silence from my alien world of thoughts,"Come on, Hazel. Help me find some hotty for both of us to rock the floor." I gave him a not-so-happening-look, he gave me a bored look before forcibly dragging me to the floor. He gave me another glass of vodka so that I could get a bit bold. I was never used to drinking. I felt a bit tipsy. I danced for few minutes and later I excused Paul and went outside the auditorium to get some fresh air. Actually fresh air wasn't all that I needed

It was quiet peacefull. I finally got time to myself. I enjoyed the sky, the air that was gently kissing my face. I was more of a self contained girl. I did not like sharing my life with any one. I was more comfortable alone.

I looked straight up in the sky to the smiling twinkling stars," Mom and Dad, I really miss you both. It's tough going through all this alone. No one to warn me or ask me how I actually feel." A tear rolled down my eye.

I felt someone's presence, before i could look up to see who it was, i heard some familiar voice asking me to come back to auditorium. I was relieved to see my best friend and my room mate Harley. Instead returning back inside she too felt the fresh air pleasant. We silently looked up at the sky when i blurted my thoughts loud enough for her to hear, " I miss my parents, if they would have been alive they would be the happiest". My eyes were wet. I asked Harley if she wished to get back home . I dismissed the thought of someone's presence and left from the place.

Harley denied gettin back home early so I took a cab to go on my own to our two storey rented appartment. I felt relieved on reaching our appartment. The day went quiet well. I took a quick bath, changed into sweat pants and large t-shirt. It made me feel perfect. I was still thinking what to do next. Its midnight by now, its not so hot over here. I didn't realized when i felt asleep, peacefull indeed.
