Chapter 3
Friday, May 8, 2009 || Friday, May 08, 2009
I was hanging in mid-air...I was gasping for air...I was dying...I felt weak all over and my stomach were doing somersaults. I strugled violently, thrashing my limps wildly... A freezing hand closed over my neck. It grasped me tighter and tighter.It gave me no chance to breathe, I tried to summon up the last bit of my power , but to no avail. Then, a strong surge of energy hit my heart...I woke up with a jolt, drenched in sweat. Looking around frantically, I realised I was in the same cosy room I slept in last night. Not the spooky Des-Poison Tree...The image flashed through my mind and I shivered at the thought of it. Suddenly, the bell rang. I jumped.
The bell rang again impatiently. I quickly ran to open the hotel door. There was a hotel staff with a big parcel in his hands. He looked at my outfit quizzically. I followed his gaze and realised I was wearing my disgusting Destiny gown."Shit..." I thought. In a gruff voice, he spoke," Miss Persephone, please acknowledge this parcel."
I scribbled a signature, snatched the parcel and slammed the door at his face.I was totally embarrassed but tossed my feelings aside as i ripped open the parcel. I beamed when I saw the contents in it. There were many designers clothing and a set of keys. The keys were labelled as "house keys" with the address below it. "Sapphire is the best", i thought to myself happily as I got ready for the first day at school.
Once again, I teleported to Victoria Junior College. It was ENORMOUS! I was taken aback by the huge school and had trouble finding my classroom. I ran around the whole school, (literally) but, my classroom was nowhere in sight. I glanced at my watch and was aghast to see that lessons will be starting in 5 minutes.
I leaned against the lockers in the corridor, frustrated and tired. My mind wandered but I was brought back to the Earth by a voice.
"Excuse me?"
My eyes flickered open and I screamed at the face that is so near to mine. The guy was shocked by my sudden outburst that he jumped away from me.
Then, I recognised him, and I thought I forgotten how to breathe for a moment. It was Callum. My brother. I had watching over him day and night from a faraway place and finally I was here today. I can finally feel him, touch him and talk to him. After 19 years.
" Are you okay?" I asked when I found my voice, helping him to stand up.
He smiled and stood up. " Are you a freshman here?"
I nodded. " Sapphire must have registered me as a 17 year old student..."I thought.
"Me too!" He said.
I casually asked for his name and just like that we became friends. Apparently, Callum was studying the same course as me and he knew where the classroom was.
When I entered the classroom, I got another blow. I thought I forgotten what my name was. There sitting at the far end of the classroom was Arron. My destiny mortal. I stood stiffly there, till Callum guided me to a seat at the other end of the classroom where nobody could see what I was doing.
I flipped open the Destiny book and started writing my second entry for Arron. As I wrote, I glanced at Arron. Sometimes, I could feel his gaze burning towards me and I get the tingly feeling again.
Today, Arron recognises me. He will make friends with Callum Lin. Nothing special happens to him in school. He goes to the school library after school, as usual and walks his pet dog when he comes home. The end.I closed the book and when I turned to look at Arron, our eyes met.
