Day of departure

Partying the whole week for getting accepted into the college of her dreams, made clover forget the that D- Day was fast approaching. She has to leave her home and venture into the unknown..... just kidding , she is just being over dramatic because she is laving her family tomorrow, for the 1st time since birth. The hype of the successful admission died down and now she is just a tiny bit anxious. She reluctantly sat on her bed contemplating while her younger sister came inside her room. She sat next to her spaced-out elder sister and put her hand before clover's open eyes which were out of focus and waved it .

"hello "

she said as she kept waving and mocking clover.

Clover came back to her senses and in an instinct grabbed the hands that moved in front of her eyes and started crushing it (don't worry its just a friendly tight grip) , because she realised that her sister was mocking her the whole time .

"ouch!...ouch!!....let me go you barbaric bore!!"

She yelled and clover let her hand go . lincy who was clover's younger sister held her throbbing hand and groaned in pain.

"Why did you do that ?" (she asked annoyed )

"Its out of instincts " (clover replied wearing a blank expression on her face) "i felt like a bug was trying to mock me"

Realising that her sister was talking about her , lincy quickly tried to change the topic.

"So what are you spacing out for?"

"I am just.... thinking about stuff"

Clover replied sadly, and turned to look at her sister's expression . lincy didn't even pretend like she was paying attention to clover, instead she looked around clover's room like a real estate broker planning to sell a place. clover immediately recognised her ulterior motive for being here and said.

"NO, don't even think about it"

"Why not?.. your gonna leave tomorrow anyway!"

"No not in a million years"

Clover said sternly . lincy knew that she can't have her way this time, so she uses the most dangerous and deadly weapon of them all . THE CURSE OF CUTENESS .This is a very powerful spell that the siblings can use to get things done but the only downside is that the spell can only be used occasionally (if used often, it looses its effectiveness) .

lincy smiles kindly for the first time in a millennium , and that was enough to send chills down clover's spine and her body hair stood straight (she looked like a terrified cat).

"No. no i wouldn't fall for it" (trying to avoid her glittering eyes)

With a jolt she tries to back away but lincy caught both her hands and puts on the puppy dog face . clover can break free but she gave in and said,

"Alright... alright! , you can have my room, till i return".

With a sense of victory lincy gets up and leaves the room, when she reaches the door , she turns around and says,

"If you are not back after 3 years , this room will become mine".

"Aish! you brat! come here"(gets up as if she is going to chase her)

{clover's inner thoughts: did i give up too easily ...(sigh) anyway its only till i return} (scratches her head) and in a mild voice

".....i still have stuff to pack...*exhales* so lets not space out, clover fighting!"

She cheers herself up while lincy stood in the corridor silently leaning against the wall. Her face was evidently sad and worried.

THE D-DAY MORNING

The birds chirped like any other day but on the bed lie's a person's body , if not for the air that was entering and exiting the body , people will think that i am describing a crime scene. Clover looked like corpse, her eyes were burning and under her eyes were harsh dark circles. Her face was dry and her ears rang . She has not had a wink of sleep that whole night. It was a complex feeling, like she is happy and exited for a minute , then she become anxious , nervous and scared the next. She took a pillow and covered her mouth,

"Argh! "

A cry of frustration escaped her mouth . Reluctantly she rolls in her bed and forced herself to get up. Her eyes looked at the reflection of herself in the mirror that stood exactly in front of her bed.

Shit! what a perfect appearance for the first day of school" (she said out of disappointment)

lincy knocks the door and enters , bewildered by her look, she asks.

"What is today's theme ?..(playfully) the living dead?

"I have no strength to deal with you now, so leave. you are polluting the air in my room" (clover uttered tiredly).

"More like MY ROOM"(lincy smirks in arrogance)

Clover , red in anger but feeling too helpless ,she exhales and gathers all her might . She becomes mentally prepared to chase her sister and within minutes the chasing game starts . Clover chases Lincy down the stairs and rushes into the living room. Before she can think of the next thing a huge person was blocking her way. Clover stops (for your imagination, she looks like a dog trying to walk over a frozen lake) . In a hoarse but low voice , the person asked Clover.

"Have you packed everything for your stay at the dorms "

"Yes?... yes" (she said)

"GOOD"

If you are wondering who that person was , its clover's dad . He is a muscular, tall, strict and a straightforward man . yah clover's dad is a cop (if you guessed it right, good job! ) and it may not seems like that from the outside but he loves his two daughters dearly . he has a tough expression all the time but if you can here his thoughts he is just like any other loving father out there.

"So .. have your breakfast and get ready..."

"hmm.. ok " (clover 's inner thoughts : should i have said ,Rodger that! instead .... anyway he wouldn't get the joke)

(dad's thoughts: she is gonna leave*sob* my little princess*sob*... [immediate change of mood] i will kill anyone who messes with my precious [fiery eyes]) a small evil smirk pops on his face, this left Clover feeling all suspicious.

"Clover eat your breakfast when it is still hot!" yells clover's mom from the kitchen.

Clover gestures her dad that she is leaving and leaves the room . After eating and getting dressed up, Clover came down and opened the front door. Her whole family stood there to bid her goodbye. looking at that, clover was overwhelmed by emotions but held back. Lincy said in the most mocking tone,

"Are you gonna cry now? you better not , i don t wanna see your face becoming any more uglier."

Clover held in her tears but her snort just popped out.

"eww!! how gross!"

Her father brings her some tissues and she wipes her snort . she is immediately met by her mothers warm hug . (a few moments later)

"Ok my little piglet , leave now or you will be late."

Clover mutters,

"This one time i will let this slide"

The car starts with a sound and her father honks, clover kisses her mother's cheeks and hops inside the car. She puts her hands out of the window and waves .
