Chapter 34: “Are you sure?”

I feel like the brightness will etch at my skin until it incinerates me alive. The hot white glow reflecting from everywhere around me feels uncomfortable and blistering.

I knew I wasn’t ready to step a foot in here yet. I should have given myself more time; I would have if not for the drama queen who sat in front of me. She looked at me with scrutiny all throughout the morning, during classes and on our way back here.

I tried really hard all day to put up a happy façade. I believe I did a really good job but you never know with her and it feels like she can see through me right now.

There’s something in those Barbie blue eyes that unravels me in moments when I really wish no one would.

Sighing I look at the dark balcony just after dusk. For some unknown reason not even, a single light is switched on there and that darkness seems so much friendlier and inviting.

I just need to hide and relax myself.
