Park

AVA's POV

When we got home from school to the dorm, I put down my damn stuff and lay down on my bed. I heard Wendy suddenly scream out loud.

"Ah! Wendy, what is that? You don't need to scream. We are just close to each other."

I saw her lying on the bed like a worm seasoned with salt, so I took a pillow and threw it at her to make her stop.

"Ouch, Ava! I had shudders, you know, of what happened earlier! Duh! I should have been the one who picked your damn stuff up earlier for me to have a reason to hug the guy straight there… Wait, what's his name again? That handsome, highly attractive, hysterical, and masculine guy gives me sexy chills?"

I couldn't help but laugh at her description of that guy earlier, and really? Give her sexy chills?

"Jules is his name, by the way. After all, why are you so exaggerated to describe him? He is just also a person like us who stinks when he farts" I was startled when a pillow suddenly was thrown directly in my face.

"WENNNNDDDDYYYY!" I cried out in pain after the moment she threw the pillow in my face

I narrowed my eyes at her, and she immediately signed peace with me. My so-called step-sister and I are verified pure nonsense. A few moments later, Wendy was asleep. It was easy for her to fall asleep. I hope I'm like that too, so I sorted out the clutter here in our dorm.

There are only two of us here in the dorm, and her mom pays the rent to our dorm, and even my meals her mom also take care of it. I even rejected her offer once, but she didn't want to because she considered me her natural child. Because Wendy is just their only child and I am the only one that, Wendy considers me her sister. I am fortunate because there is someone who cares about me and is willing to help every day of my life.

I was holding on to the necklace that my parents gave me before the unexpected tragedy happened; that was what my Aunt told me, and because of that incident, I lost everything to myself.

I woke up suddenly and rubbed my eyes. I was asleep thinking of that tragedy. I looked at the clock, and it was four o'clock in the afternoon. I looked at Wendy, who was still sleeping right now. Will this woman still wake up? Never mind, she will wake up when she smells the aroma of food.

I got dressed and decided to go out first to get some air and have fun. I thought of going to the park because that place is cozy. I left a note so that Wendy wouldn't mess up the dorm when finding me when she woke up.

I love going to the park. I genuinely want to watch other people. And draw or write about what I see or think. I was like this when I was young, and maybe we are like that, right?

Wait, there are a lot of people here. Why is that? Hmm… Yeah, I remember it was Friday today, and the students went home early from the campus. When I got to the park, I sat on my favorite bench because you could see the beautiful sunset here. I looked around and noticed that many lovers were holding their hands, the others were sitting on the grass, some were having their picnic, and the others were hugging. Maybe it's nice to feel that someone loves you, right? You can do anything in the name of love, as they say.

I even looked at the others, and I saw there were people alone. Some are crying. Others are talking on the phone and quietly reading in the corner. I smiled at the children, happily chasing after their playmates. It's like it's nice to be a kid again. You have no problem thinking as long as you one hundred percent play the game happily. Sometimes I think I wish I were a child again, but I don't seem to want to because I was just a child, and destiny took everything from me, so now I am alone. I think fate is too cruel for me to toy with a situation like this… can there be people like me who are in this situation?

I stared at the notepad I forgot I was carrying and decided to write anything. If I write and I leave it here, can anyone answer this? If destiny is so playable, then this madness, I think right now, will happen.

"Do you believe in destiny? What if destiny plays tricks on you? Do you think we live in a weird world? You will be toyed with and meet many people, but you, yourself, are not interested, or some people will give it to you, and then they will also disappear. Or you will be allowed to love them, or they will love you, but you do not, or they will not feel that. Messy, right? I'm already confused, but it's good to live even if destiny is a bit crazy. And, what kind of play of destiny have you experienced?"

After seeing the sunset, I decided to go home because maybe Wendy was already worried about me. When I arrived there was food on my table, it killed me, because Wendy cooked it and the smell of food was burning.

"Ava, you are already here. Come on, let's eat! That's delicious! I cooked that!" I want to laugh, seriously?

"HA! HA! HA! Is this joke, right, Wendy?" I saw her stare at me and pinch me on the side, so I got caught up in pain.

"You're picky! It's fried stew! You are, as a matter of fact, annoying!"

I can't help but laugh at her. I am grateful even though I have lost people who are so crucial to me, and He still allowed me to be with people like Wendy.
