Forró dance academy at 8:48 am

Sunlight peeked through the grey curtains of the dance hall and entered the cream walls of our practice room ,

Adley's pov

I was exhausted mentally, physical exhaustion being just my distraction from my mental pain, thoughts of my dreams still lingering in head.i had nightmares of that day before but I was fine and there weren't awful nights like this now,its been really long since I dreamt of it. It was disturbing me more then I thought ,it felt so real,maybe the nature is punishing me and not letting me forget my sins,it makes me see how ridiculous of a person I am..ho-

"Ow, Adley ur early today? haven't seen u in a while!" The voice catching my attention breaking me out of my stance,I eye her a bit taken aback."oh, hey!yeah,I was abit bored at my room ,soo"I trailed off."u look..ummm tired! Bad night?"I see myself.,indeed I look like a zombie woke from its grave."ehh., something like that"I got up inserting my phone I'm my back pocket."u got early class today .Natalie?" I asked "yess! Our batch got an important performance coming month" oh yeah our university has welcome party "goodluck!I'll be heading then"I gave her a tight smile and made my way back to my apartment, Natalie was my university junior,I jus know her abit through our dance acadmy

Reaching my apartment i took my time cleansing myself in the shower, clearing my mind.i quickly changed myself into a pair of jeans ,tee top and Snickers, leaving my hair free giving it my least attention,dabbing some powder and gloss.,I was ready to make my way to university.

Gulping down a quick glass of juice ,and Grabbing myself a granula bar ;

bag, check

Muffler ,check

Phone,check

Purse and keys ,check

I left my apartment at sharp 9.35 am heading to the metro station

St.ford university

Our university is whole mess with tons of people filled with talent and life, there are always gossips going around,bullies teasing thier preys, the plastic girls attitudes, friends bickering and so on..I'm in my senior year's (last year) beginning,I'm just another ordinary girl in my campus ,more of an introvert type.

I make my way through the hallway heading to my locker with a tight smile , receiving some few nods and smile as an acknowledgement.

"Stacey!,u saw the new guy from the freshman year!geezz!his looks are complete mind woggler"I hear some girls talking about this random dude as im taking books from the locker "oh! that..samuel guy!ive heard he has some criminal cases filed against him" ...gossips, gossips and gossips.."well ,I'd like to try with that criminal boy he'-"I hear a thud coming from the hallway as I close my locker catching some students attention.

"Watch!where your going,thick head" the university bully shouted at a poor boy who was laying flat on the floor..oh wait I know this guy ethan miller he was my classmate since my first year of university although Ive never talked to him before,I knew him as he was one of the best students of our university.,he wasn't a social butterfly himself,he was always lonely sitting at the corner of the classroom not making a single effort to talk to anyone.however he just gave a annoyed glare to the bully standing up taking his backpack and went to his way not wanting to create a scene."make sure you don't smash your face at the wall .loser!"the bully retorted but Ethan went his way without taking another glance.the hallway again broke to enormous wispers and talks."people should really stand up for themselves especially against such idiots who call themselves so-called bullies" I mumbled to my self on my way to the class.the class was Chaos shouts and laughter was heard throughout the walls,I sat on my regular seat as miss Rosa entered the class."good morning! Students, welcome to ur senior year kids,hoping ull do well in this year too ,let's begin our first class of ur last year" the class went silent as she started her class.my mind filled with lots of thoughts , class was the last thing on my mind although I started taking some notes along the lectures just to keep my mind off the thoughts.

Evening 6.43 pm

The classes ended sooner then i thought it would,I was on streets walking my way home as I avoided taking metro today as I wanted some fresh air and not sweaty bodies. The streets were a bit busy like usual my surroundings almost dark and breeze swaying my brown hairs and tickling my skin ,air refreshing my mind ,ruffling of the trees and light sound of the stream flowing calming me down as i closed my eyes;

Sudden shuffling noises urged me to open my eyes to find a boy helping a woman with her things laying scattered on the floor outside a Pharmacy , which I suppose was due to their crash happened not long before.he was the same boy from our uni ethan miller,ethan was fumbling rapidly and wanted get done with this soon,he was hiding something in his hand an object,he looked nervous ,they didn't notice me as I walked past them getting a quick glance at the object in his hand.i was confused and was a bit taken aback by seeing a bottle of sleeping pills in his hand ,and his nervousness didn't help me take it lightly either.however I ended up in my apartment still unnoticed ,helping myself with a decent dinner and changing into my PJ's i was ready for my bed, evening incident still lingering in my head;why would a university going student has to with such a big bottle of sleeping pills,he ,his very introvert behaviour,his nervous aura, convincing me that something was off with this guy or maybe I was just overthinking., thinking he might be suffering through some sleeping disorders I let sleep take over me.
