Chapter one - Woah, what's wrong with her?

"If you feel like you're about to suffocate always try to break out of the ocean floors and change your location" -anonymous

"Ah Finally!" She exclaimed upon hearing the sound of the bus finally pulling to a stop after what felt like forever. Her butt literally feels almost numb from sitting still in the same position for 8 hours on her journey to Carmel city, 6 hours in the flight, two on the bus to a city where she has never been too before, because it doesn't hurt to try new things right?. She thinks to herself, it's funny how sometimes you just choose a random city simply because you want a change in the environment.

Crystal steps out of the bus with a satisfied smile on her lips, "so this where I'll be spending some of my youthful days it seems or not", she thinks to herself with a grin as she stared at the busy street which was buzzing with teenagers scrambling about, adults doing the same probably trying to get back home from their jobs. She had just recently gotten transferred into the university here in this city to study biology for the next 2 years....interesting right?.

oh well!, that's not as important as her goal though she thinks to herself as she steps out of the bus sighing, stretches her body for a bit before her eyes catches a glimpse of a familiar face walking away from the bus with which she had arrived in, the person had both of his air pods plugged in, so not only couldn't see but even if she screamed he won't be able to hear her voice...now isn't that annoying...?.

She moves out of the window seat, pushing past people who yelled God what at her but she didn't care, she had her attention set on not losing the said familiar face from earlier on, she dashed from the bus stop in a rush, trying to catch up with the male who was deaf to her actions "but oh how fast were his feet!" she thinks to herself as she sees him increase his speed.

Ugh, at the pace that she is current walking, she might hardly be able to catch up with him, so almost instinctively, she picks up her pace almost like a predator that was chasing a prey, or in her case perhaps a desperate being, she must have not being paying attention to her surroundings because before she could blink, she hit what felt like a wall that was on her path, which made her vision go dull for a minute, dizziness hits her like a brick and she loses control of her feet, falling backwards unto her butt hard.

Oh how her head hurts...why in the world wasn't she paying any attention to the walls and the trees, that in Carmel city definitely do exist.

"Hey miss, are you okay, I'm so sorry I didn't quite see you there-" a voice started to say out of nowhere making her to look up with a glare,as her vision began to clear up once again, and there stood before her a brown skinned male who didn't look any older than herself, he had the most intense set of hazel eyes that she had ever seen, he looked down at her with a guilty sheepish look on his face while holding out a hand to her, as if wanting to help her get back on her feet but she didn't have time for this, nor for whatever it was that he wanted to say, so she ignored the hand which was reaching out to help and jumped on her feet by herself, totally ignoring the concerned stranger, as her eyes searched and scout around the busy streets as if in search for a certain person totally ignoring the one that stood beside her now trying to grab her attention. She lets out a groan in frustration after realising that she had lost him;the guy she met on the bus,what a disaster this journey has suddenly become.

"Uh hi, as I was saying earlier I'm so sorry, I hope you are not hurt, I wasn't quite paying atten-"

"Can you just get lost!!, can't you see what you caused!" she yelled out in frustration while staring at the young lad before her, with the anger clear on her face, ice in her voice that didn't match her petite body, making him flinch, wow, now that's unexpected I mean sure he bumped into her but the anger she carried felt like he had committed murder instead but before he could say anymore to her, the girl stormed away angrily at a hurried pace, almost as if to tell him that she couldn't stand being with a waste of space.

"Woahhh, what's her problem?!" the male mumbled to himself before letting out a shrug, as he started to make his way into the comic store in which she was initially blocking him from while putting his phone back against his ears

"Hello mother" Khalid says absentmindedly,

"Khalid, thank goodness you are alright, I was worried for a second-" his Mom starts to rant making Khalid let out a sigh...he really doesn't have the energy to deal with an hysterical mother right now, his head hurts from the encounter from earlier on.

" Mom of course I am fine, relax, I just bumped into someone cause I was on the phone with you on the streets" Khalid confesses with a sheepish smile on his face knowing exactly what it was that would be coming next.

"Goodness Khalid, how many times have I told you to put that goddamn phone away especially when you are on the street" His mother yells, making him pull the phone away from his ear for a bit, her voice was so loud that it almost rendered him deaf.

"Mom you were the one who called me, I couldn't just ignore it" He complains.

" Well you should have, goodbye" his Mom states angrily before hanging up out of nowhere making the boy let out a sigh.

"Mom, are you seriously mad at me bec-" Khalid started to say before he heard the sound of the call hanging up making him let out a chuckle, well that's his mother alright!. He probably has to call her later to apologise about putting his own life in danger, his Mom was not very fine with him moving all the way to another state to acquire a degree in the first place, but it was what he wanted so she let him go at the end but she still feels like he is not safe, so yeah he has an angry mother on the side as if the incident from earlier on with that strange girl with dead yet blaring eyes that almost seem like it was made from flames wasn't enough; It's not like he had intended to bump into her in the first place, he genuinely had not seen her running there, he was lost in the conversation he was having with his Mom over the phone which he wanted to apologise with a cup of coffee or maybe perhaps take her to the hospital if needed in case she had a concussion because the fall was pretty hard but then she yelled at him like that...ah ladies...and their mood swings that could last for days, oh trust him he knows how they work he has 4 elder sisters so he has seen it all.
