A bad day

"Lethe?" Is what I remembered. Was It really Lethe? And what does it mean?

"Then, It must be your name? It's indeed an odd one" I muttered ridiculously assuming things. I found myself smiling at the thought of the man. He was very good looking. And his smile made me feel warm and welcomed

I was astonished how a man in my dream can lift up my mood. Just a while ago I was trembling because of anger and now I feel all fuzzy. I scratched the back if my neck and stared at the hand that he held with in my dream. That ocean dream,It was originally a frequent nightmare that's been bothering me for days. What's worse Is I can actually feel whatever's in that said dreams. I once had a night terror because of it. That same dream was the reason why I needed to take pills and I wanted to avoid it as much as possible but If he will be there again I wouldn't mind another one of the ocean dreams. I chuckled at the thought. Oh god, I sound insane. This must be the outcome of being alone all the time.

for the second time I unknowingly smiled. "This is pathetic and absolutely ridiculous" I said to myself when I felt like blushing . I can't believe this! I'm getting flustered over a guy I met in my dream! This is such an embarrassment. But I don't particularly hate it?

After a few minutes I have made up my min. I will meet him again! I took my phone to set an alarm for tomorrow. It's already 8 o'clock, a perfect time to fall asleep. After I set my alarm I took my pills and started to think about the man again. For the first time in a long time I was actually willing to sleep early and in a good mood at that.

-

I lazily sat up when I heard the sound of my alarm. It's time to get ready for school. I massaged my temples when I felt a painful headache. I groaned repeatedly. Last night I slept in a good mood but now it's like I woke up in the wrong side of the bed. Not only did the man not appear in my dreams tonight but I also have this painful headache.

I stood up and got ready. After changing into my uniform I went downstairs. I'll just get an apple from the kitchen an leave right away. I still feel bummed. My headache did not disappear and my expectations were crushed. Was it really just a one time thing? I wanted to see him again. Great, I'm disappointed and in pain. What more can this day add for me to jump off a building.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me." I uttered with annoyance when I saw the old hag and the President on the kitchen, making themselves breakfast. What a lovely sight it would have been if it wasn't them.

"Good morning to you too, Aslin" The President said and placed a plate of pancakes in front of me. I walked passed it and grabbed the apple.

"Good morning. Thank you for your offer but It will be best if I took an apple instead considering the time and the current situation. I also cannot stand to be in the same room with the both of you, specially that woman beside you. I'll be off" I said nonchalantly without looking at them. As if my day wasn't bad enough, I just has to see these two together.

"How rude. That insolent child needs to be thought a lesson"the woman said loud enough for me to hear

"Let her do her thing. I'm sure she will reflect on her actions when the time comes" the President answers. I sighed and took a bite of my apple when I finally reached outside.

Why did they have to be here. Normally I'd see them once every six months or so. It was better that way. Just breathing the same air as the old hag makes me want to gag. I can't believe I just witnessed them being all lovey-dovey! I hope they leave for another business trip again and return when before the end of the school year. I just need to show them that I can enroll into a good school without their help. That Is all I need to prove before finally leaving that place

When I arrived the classroom a couple of notebooks were stacked on my table "Uhm, what's all this?" I asked slightly stuttering

"What do you mean? What do think it is?" Venice answers looking at her phone. I looked at Naih and the others but they were all busy with their phones. These are their notebooks? I took one and examined it only to see blank pages. So they want me to do their homework again. I'm so sick of this.

I sighed and smiled bitterly "I see"

I started to write down the answers. These are alot than usual? Are they actually making me do other people's homework too? I'm already burdened enough. Isn't this too much? I really wanted to complain but I just kept my mouth shut

I'm really having a bad day.

"Hey do you guys wanna go shopping after class?" I heard Venice asked. I didn't bother to look up and just continue my writing down answers. I don't want to embarrass myself like I did yesterday.

I wonder what I'll do after class. Since the old hag is at home I'll just go to the library then? Or maybe a that new cafe that they were talking about. I can also go to the park by myself and read a book or two? Yeah, that sounds pretty nice.

"How about you Aslin?" I stoped and looked at them surprised. They're asking me to join in? Whatare they planning?

"Me? Well, I am free. I could go if you don't mind" I answered sheepishly

"Of course! What are friends for?" Naih said chuckling

"Great! It's settled then" she gave me a sly smile. I have a bad feeling about this.
