ELAINA POV;

The harsh sound of the alarm blared through my ears, pulling me out of a deep sleep. My strange dream was interrupted as I groggily reached for the alarm clock on the bedside table. After silencing it, I lingered in bed for a moment, but the day had already started, and I knew I couldn't waste any more time. I slowly sat up, stretching and rubbing my eyes, letting the bright sunlight streaming through the window help me wake up. 

Reluctantly, I swung my legs off the bed and stood, walking to the bathroom to freshen up. The splash of cold water on my face helped me feel more alert, and after getting dressed in my college uniform, I went downstairs. The smell of coffee greeted me as I made a simple breakfast—cereal and juice—and quickly ate, my mind already drifting to the day's responsibilities.

Once I finished, I grabbed my bag and headed out. The early morning air was cool as I made my way to college, the streets still quiet. As I walked, I thought about how much my life had changed over the years. At 21, I was in my final year of college, with no family of my own. My parents had tragically died in a car crash when I was just five. An orphanage had taken me in, raising me until I turned 18. 

Now, as I faced the final stretch of my education, I couldn't help but wonder about the future. My past had shaped me, but I was determined to make my own path. Despite the challenges, I was ready to take on whatever came next.

Then I joined a cafe working part time after my college ended. I managed my food, college fees and house rent with my salary. Sometimes I would even have to skip meals, but its alright. I got a nice friend, who is warm enough to let me eat at her house sometimes. I am doing medicine at a huge college. My course is almost done but am still training to be an expert. The first lecture and ended and we were given a leisure. I didn't waste a second and started studying, until I was interrupted by a voice. "Elaina! you brat, why didn't you drop by my house for dinner? want me to kick your ass?" My friend scolded me as I sighed." I am sorry, Sia. I, wasn't hungry at all. Besides, It was late when my shift at work completed. So I didn't bother coming." I said as she just rolled her eyes. "always has reasons, bruh! I am gonna murder you, the next time you won't come" she warned me as I said, "yes mam!" dramatically. Which she laughed off and sat beside me placing a hand on my shoulder. " Just because I don't want my dear Ellie to starve herself, am saying this" she said as I smiled, my dimples popping up as I chuckled and said, " love you to my Sie" we both giggled at each other and spent the rest of the time together. 

after a few lectures, it was finally (LUNCH BREAK):

Me and Sia sat together as we both shared each other's meals. " Instant ramen again?! Girl you seriously have a problem, here lets share our lunch together" I just shook my head with a smile and we chit chatted about random gossips and laughed. When I was almost done, a teacher came in, " Elaina Whitlock, you are being summoned at the principal's office now," I looked at her and nodded. " Geez, what does that old geezer probably want now? he is seriously working you to death! Imma shove his head into a toilet or something." Sia commented sharply as I laughed and slapped her head and made my way out as I heard a ouch behind me. " insolent brat" I thought as I made my way to the principal's office. I knocked on the door as I heard a come in and went in. " Good afternoon sir," I wished him as He wished back with a polite smile which I returned back. " Elaina, how is the work for the medical camp, going on?" he asked as I gave him a review of the entire plan and plannings. "very well Elaina, I am sorry to say this but, I am gonna burden you with another task." He said, looking apologetically as I just smiled and nodded." Yes sir its alright. As long as it mean I am helping poor to get medical treatment" I said which made him smile, " You are kind, my child. We have an appointment at the Grosvenor's company. You have to go the CEO and request him to grant the permission to hold a medic camp at the grounds in that area. The grounds are Grosvenor's property. Here is the file of permission and timings, please handle this last task for me. I am thankful Elaina." He said as I took the file and nodded at him and bowed to him again and went back to my class. I spent the rest of my day at college and went to my work and finally returned home late. I washed up as I slipped in my comfy pyjamas and ate some sandwich as My eyes fell on the file. I plopped myself on the bed and opened it. The meeting was scheduled the next day morning at 9, I gotta take permission from college, I thought as I opened my desktop and searched about Grosvenor's. They are one of the hugest company with most success rate. And their present CEO is Asher Grosvenor, who is just 23, according to net. I was browsing more, but then my eyelids felt heavy, I just shut down the laptop and slept.
