1 The only beautiful moment

Alicia's P.O.V

  I was woken up by the sweet sensation of someone giving my scalp a peaceful massage. I knew exactly who she was, but I wanted to memorize each and every movement. Well, that's what happens when you and your own mother don't live together. Perhaps, this is the only time I spend with her.

  I am a senior this year and will be starting my college ;or maybe some full time job to take care of mom, in a few months.

"Alicia, sweetheart. Its about time you woke up" my mom whispered in her shallow voice that was melodious once- before her leukemia. After hearing her voice I started to shift from my sitting position beside her hospital bed where I had fallen asleep yesterday night it's mainly the reason why my whole body feels so sore. But still this slumber was way more peaceful then one at dorm.

"Good Morning mom," I said to mom who was looking at me with a weak smile on her face. "Morning, sunshine but you better hurry now. 'Cause I think if you didn't you would be late for your first class," hearing that I hurriedly looked towards the alarm.

"Shit, It's already 8:30 ,and my class starts at 9. It would take at least 15 minutes to reach school. I am gonna miss my Biology class. Sh*t, what do I do now?! I'm doomed "

"Alicia you know that you are blubbering, right?!" My mom mused with a teasing smile on her.

"Ohh, Alright mom. I'll be get going, will meet you on next weekend I hope or maybe before that if I could manage." I said hurriedly kissing her forehead. "Alright Al, Take care. bye!" I could hear her weak voice yelling after me.

I ran hurriedly towards the bus stop where bus was thankfully still loading people in it. I hurried and ran inside ,and took a seat near the door. As the bus started I looked towards my watch it was 8:45 that means I had 15 more minutes. I was already wearing my ripped jeans, paired with black and white stripped shirt that I had changed before going to the hospital yesterday. So, I didn't bother going to dorm to change I just pulled my hair back in a messy bun while walking towards my locker.

' We have only 5 more minutes run Alii.' Alice aka my mind mused.

'I know that alright?!' I said sarcastically

(Italic for conscience and bold for her)

When I reached my classroom Mr. Anderson was just at other side of hallway. So I hurried towards the class door and took a seat at the far corner of class. After sitting I turned around to see where I was actually sitting. As I looked around my eyes roamed the class. I stopped once they landed on Marrie Antoinette ' The miss perfection of our school' I mean who cares what you wear or put on your face to sugar-coat it?

She was wearing her denim shorts those were actually too short to wear at school with a red blouse that was too tight that it looked as if she were wearing her little 8 years old sister's shirt instead of her own.

I was zoned out in my thoughts as Mr. Anderson came in class and started giving us lecture about the Weinberg's law of inheritance. I started taking notes, don't get me wrong I don't talk to people here, but I do what I'm actually meant to do here I mean I do studies here.

"So class we will take a test tomorrow about the laws of Mendles, is that understood?" he said that with a finality in his tone. Some people whined,  but it was of no use. After hearing a muffled 'yes' from everyone he dismissed the class.

After class was over I was making my way towards my locker but there was a circle formed at the end of hall.'Well, it does not cost something to peek a look. Right?!' I thought.

'No obviously not, after all we will be gone after a lil while.' My conscience reasoned.

  When I reached the crowd it was not the little chit chat between wanna-bees that I was expecting it to be...
