Listen to impossible by James Arthur 🧚

A certain character said,
^^Mistakes are not made unknowningly or knowingly, mistakes are knowingly not rectifying.

Cialara's POV

Mom had come for me earlier than planned, she came an hour after that kiss, I smiled mentally.
She showed appreciation and we leftAmenadiel's residence to ours.

It was barely midnight, and I walked straight to my bed, I fell asleep immediately my body touched it.

        I kind of had a peaceful sleep, maybe it was the bed or just maybe that 0.5 seconds kiss, sighs .
It's been 2 days since I stepped in that hell hole called school as I lay in bed mentally prepping myself that everything's going to be okay suddenly, I heard footsteps that's surely got to be my mom , I thought.

The door bursts open and I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep.
The room became quiet,  as she sat on the bed, all of a sudden she started tickling me, I jolted up laughing and hugged her.

"You don't know how scared I've been sweetheart" she says a tear trickling down her face . -..
I've also been scared of losing you and now it hits blunt.
I think it's time for you to know the tr..-"
she gets cut short when my alarm goes off. stopping her sentence altogether she got up , wiping her face ,

" hurry up and get ready for school" she said with a straight face which showed no hint she just broke down right now.

"Putting my thoughts away, I get ready for school .
Mom and I sat in silence as she drove to school.
We've got to get something about Marcos's culprit,

I let out suddenly regretting that I let that out to her hearing, I turn to look at mom who had brought the car to an abrupt halt meaning we were going to have a talk, sighs.

"Cia, promise me..-she said with great concern.
..under no damn circumstance should you involve yourself with solving this case, you got me?
She adds and I nod.

She starts the car, and we drive in silence until we reach the car park, getting out of the car, I wave her and within seconds she was out.

And that's when I realized those present had their eyes in me, whispering making me uncomfortable.
I head towards the gym, that's where the guys and I were meeting to find subtle or not so subtle clues.

I know , I know, my mom forbade me but Marcos was a friend, come to think of it , he just started hanging out with Jade all of a sudden and we all became friends.
Besides we've had each others back since grade one.

On the way, I bump into a sophomore, he seemed liked a nerd, from his glasses to his pants .
He murmurs a rushed sorry, and scurries past me not without bumping into me again with his big school bag.
I was thrown of balance and spilled the hot chocolate  I had in my hands onto someone

Cursed Thursday mornings..
I pick up my books and look up to apologize but find the ever dashing M. Carter, he looked in no way disturbed about the spill he stretches a hand to help and I gladly take it.

"I'm so..,-erm" I begin to stutter , he just grabs a tissue , starts wiping it off making it worse than it is.
"It's not a big deal, lunch will do, Sunshine" he says, winks and passes by me.
My brain struggles to process what has actually happened, it seemed hijacked by all the flutterings in my heart, sighs.

I stand there for a few seconds , still going over what just happened mentally.
Did he just ask me on a ..a..a..,OMG." I squeal internally

My phone rings pulling me out of my mental arena.
I look at the caller and realize it's Jade, I'm late ohh sh!t.
I start running towards the gym this time without casualties.
I push the door open, panting I grab my knees.

"What took you so long " Mckenzie questions and hands me his water bottle.
Which I graciously accept.
Well I bumped into someone and eventually I got a date, I say trying to sound as less excited as I could.
Mckenzie frowns but says nothing,

" anyways , we've got some digging to do "   Zizi  says dismissing the initial tension.

" so Jade anything about Marcos we need to know?" She asks and we all turn to Jade.

"Urm well you guys remember few years back that frat house party ?" She asks looking from Zizi to Me.

"Which party" I ask

"Hensons' party " she adds and I turn to look at both Mckenzie and Zizi's expression.

"Urm ..- I clear my throat ,

..me again, since cats got their tongue , I'd ask"
I say trying to ease up the atmosphere but to no avail.
"Anyways Jade , lots of stuff happened that night , for beginners that was when Brad did a swim dip , and when ..
I clear my throat * died so yh, what you getting to?
I ask the question on everyone's mind.

"Well Marcos and I had something to do with that tragic death.
She bows her head saying.

"What?..how.,I can't -..wait...,"  the three of us start questioning.
"Well take a chill pill you all, she adds .

Taking in a deep long breath she sighs..

Flashback , few years ago..

————————-———•———————————-•———

Well that was unexpected,
Ouu Sunshinee🌚
M.Carter? the character arcs are still building,
we'd know very soon what he's all about.

Jade? whose death? Is the most important question
Darn this author..,- yesss I feel the same way

So much suspenseee , it's worth the wait yeah
I actually wanted to combine two chapters but I realized it would be a long ass chapter and I've been feeling so lazy to type too.
Don't worry, I promise it would be a filler in all the loop holes .
Thank you for reading this far☺️

This chapter is dedicated to a good friend of mine I lost 🖤
Rest in peace🕊
