Reminders

After repeatedly trying and failing to go back to sleep, I got out of bed, switched on my room lights, making the reflection of the moon and stars fade away, and moved towards my table.

"Hmm, I seemed to remember it being placed here," I thought while searching through my desk lockers. "Ah found it" I voiced out quietly while pulling out a colouring book.

It was a book full of back and white drawings of flowers and animals. The book cover was designed with swirls of blue mixed with red. Picking up my colours, I walked towards my bed, lied flat on my stomach and started applying colours in between the lines. I switched to sitting down after my front started to hurt.

"Since going back to sleep was turning out to be difficult, why don't I just colour to pass time," I Reasoned out while looking at the alarm clock which read 2 am sitting on the side table beside me.

-Don't think about what you saw. It is just a nightmare. Nothing more-. I continued to whisper out in an attempt to bury the memories down.

..................

A loud screech pulled me out of my sleepy state." Ah, I should probably change the sound the alarm made. It sounded like the mating calls of whales" I reflected during the same time I shook my head to drive my sleepiness away. Putting my things away, I trended slowly towards the bathroom, washed up and got dressed in high waist jeans with a sleeveless top, Which was covered with a grey jacket. With the space of time I took after applying a light pink mauve lipstick to my lips, I picked up an empty school bag, placed my phone in it and walked downstairs in the direction of the Kitchen in search of breakfast. It looks like staying up late had made me ravenous.

"Teirrah, I heard the bad news. I am so sorry I took the chance to attend such a prestigious school away from you. If I had known, I would have refused. Please don't hate me" Eva cried out while clutching her hands together with tears leaking from her eyes.

-Why does it seem that every time I see her she always her tears in her eyes-

"Great Oak isn't the only school around, besides you deserve it, Sweetie, isn't that right, Claudia "Mrs Quinn quickly questioned. -I am so Hungry-

"Yes, Madam" Turning sideways I saw a woman dressed in a blue maid outfit which contrasted beautifully with her dark skin. Her LoCs were tied up in a ponytail. Feeling pain course through my heart I turned away from her to face Mrs Quinn. -I couldn't look at her, not now, not when She remained me so much of Zinnia mother which in turn remained me of Zinnia-

"Where is Father"

"Your Father left early for work, But don't worry. The principal has been informed of your decision to attend another school, so you just need to clear out your locker, and you are ready to start your new school by tomorrow".

" - "My decision, If I remember correctly, my opinion was not taken into account. You just informed me about it" I pondered with a quiet snort. So Hypocritical.

"Again, I am so sorry for taking..."

" I am hungry" I finally voiced out, feeling my stomach cramp, cutting Eva short.

-My stomach has no time for this-

" Food is ready Madam and Young Miss" The Head Maid called out. -Finally-

We all walked towards the dining table and sat down. The dining table was filled with different assortments of fruits, waffles painted with chocolate and bacon with eggs. I stretched my hands towards the waffles, took them and ate. I didn't know that I had unconsciously behaved way more elegantly than the plot character me ever did, and how surprised a certain someone was about it.

Breakfast was a quiet affair, even with Eva trying to start up conversations. After replying to her using hums, it seems she finally got the message and kept her mouth shut.

"I want you to walk Eva around the school and introduce her. It is best if she starts getting connecti..." She paused. "Getting to know the students. We would not like her to be alone in school" She continued changing her words.

"Thank you Teirrah, You are the best" Eva voiced out.

-I don't remember agreeing to this, Ah whatever. It is better to do it now and get it over with-

"Young Misses the car is ready," The head maid said.

-Weird, I wonder why she didn't ignore me now-

"Be safe, Eva. And don't be shy. Always remember you have us behind you" Mrs Quinn voiced out while giving her a peck in the cheek.

"Thanks, Mum". -Pang... Damn you, heart-.

"Let's get going, Teirrah," Eva said, pulling me out of my reverie while dragging me past the door and towards the car.

-I have my own legs, you know-

*Behind the scenes 1*

Since when has she been so refined. That posture and demeanour. It was like grace had been ingrained in her DNA, much different from before. What happened?

*Behind the scenes 2*

Ahhhhhhhhhh, Why aren't you mad. You are supposed to scheme against me and be evil. How am I supposed to get revenge when you haven't done anything. How come it is so different from what she told me. Was it all a lie?. But that's impossible, everything she said had come true.

"It doesn't matter, let's continue to watch. Maybe she got the timing wrong. Yeah, that has to be it" I thought, racking my head for ways to make the Villainess crack.

*Behind the scenes 3*

-Noooooooooo... Come back. Move... Please body move-

"Hmm, I might be coming down with a cold. I should call the doctor. I don't want to end up in the hospital again" I contemplated after waving at my daughter.

-AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!, Move damn it-
