New home

I walked out of the room when I felt a bit better. I went to the office room to collect my belongings. It was very hard to walk because every bone of my body was hurting like shit. It became very hard to walk. My limbs became sore and weak.

I was stumbling while I was trying to walk. My stomach wanted to pour out the content that it had taken. My vision became blurry and dark as the time passed. Maybe it was from exhaustion or from lack of eating.

I slowly passed the corridor and entered the office room. No one was there. It was empty. My eyes searched for my bag but I didn't found it anywhere. Panic started to rise in me. After checking out every corner of the room, I found nothing. I looked underneath the table, opened every unlocked drawer, searched every corner of the room.

Where is my bag.....

All belongings were there. There was credit cards, my phone, my house key, everything.....

If I lose these things then, I'll be doomed. How will I spend my whole six months? Damn... I came out from the room and looked for the lady, who is our medical guide. After some searching, I found her .

"You are already up?"She asked as if she was shocked.

"Ummm..yeah. I want to go home. Where did you put my bag?"

"Your bag? There was no bag when we found you."

"You didn't find any bag? But my bag was right with me when I was conscious."

"Sorry dear. I...I can't help you with this."She looked away from me and hurriedly left my sight.

I was just speechless. What should I do or where should I go........ My mind wasn't working, I was just in a complete shock. It was too much for me. Day one would turn out like this? It was out of my imagination. I never thought that, I would end up like this. People would hate me this much.

The bell rang and students started to rush out from the class rooms. The hall room was crowded again. I walked out of the hall without looking straight.

My wasn't paying concentration at my surroundings and that's why I bumped with many people. Some said sorry, some gave me with a death glare and some mumbled colorful words but I didn't care.

After a few minutes of struggling, I finally got out from my school building. My inner mind gazed at the sky. The sky was cloudy.

I walked through empty streets that straightly led towards my house. The rain has already started. Then, I realized that i didn’t have any umbrella. As a result I was already shivering. My clothes were sticking to my body. I looked like a homeless kid. Actually, I am a homeless kid.

From today, I’m gonna live in someone else’s house. What I’m gonna tell my about it? How I’m gonna explain it to her? How I’m gonna tell her that, I’ve lost my phone, credit cards and everything else? My mind really doesn't knows.

My body wanted to give up and lie on the ground. I felt exhausted after walking for hours. My house was very far from our school. The rain became more furious and the wind was blowing faster than before. After increasing my pace, I walked faster. Afterwards another thirty minutes of running and occasional fallings, I reached my destination.

It was already afternoon, but the lights were still off.

This is weird .

Where was my mom? She should have been ready by now. As I opened our old iron gate, I walked through the little garden we had. I climbed the stairs and stood in front of our main door. There was a little note sticking at the wooden surface. Then,I picked it and read it.

Dear Casie,

I know you have been thinking that why there is none in the house. Well, because of the bad weather, the flight schedule has changed. The flight will take off at 3 pm instead of 7 pm. So if You are reading this, then I’m gone by now. Sorry sweety, I called you a few times but you weren’t picking up. You have extra keys so I don’t have to worry about the house. Please pack your things and shift there by tomorrow. The new owner will come in a few days. Please use the credit cards wisely and find a job if it’s possible. Don’t make trouble at your new home. Take care of yourself. See you after six months!

Yours ever,

Mom.

I just stared at the note for a long time. The paper got wet and the writing turned into an inky mess.

What the hell I’m gonna do?

The weather was getting worst in every second. I will die out of coldness if I stand here whole night.

There is only one option to do and that is going to my new home. I don’t have any phone, money or anything else.

What will they think if I go there a this moment?

I wiped my face and went to our neighbourhood. I reached there within five minutes. The house was massive.

I rang the bell and a girl of my age opened the door. Her dress was quite formal. I assumed that maybe she’s a maid.

“Welcomme mam. Please come inside.” She bowed.

I was surprised at her formality.

“Umm… You know me?”

“Yes, our madam told us about you.”

“Oh…”

She let me in and took me upstairs. I was just in awe when I entered. The house was none less than a palace. Well, I should say a modern one.

The walls were painted in different shades and texture. The furnitures were settled in a artistic way. I can bet that I saw many of these on the recent magazine. The interior design of the house was more beautiful. There were countless rooms and cabins. I have to praise their taste. This house is designed for the modern world with a touch of classiness. It held fashion and elegance.

We climbed the stairs and she showed me my room. This room is bigger than any other room in my house. It was designed quite lavishly. There was a king sized bed in the middle of the room. Beside the bed, there was a small table where the table lamp was placed. There was a study table placed at the corner of the room. Some book shelves were settled beside it. The closets were situated at the right side of the room. Some chairs were positioned at the left side of the room. The window was located straight away from the door. The colours of the wall illuminated with the light and gave the room a shady look.

I liked the light pink colour of the room. There were blue patterns printed over the wall. Different shades of lights were settled at the different corners.

“It’s amazing….”I mumbled .

“Yes, I know. Our madam spent a lot of time and money on this house. It holds a lot of emotion and memories of her .”

She looked at a distant place, her eyes flooding with memories.

I smiled at her. But my sneeze brought her to reality.

“Oh! I’m sorry! I forgot to give you a a towel. Please forgive me, I’ll bring it to you in seconds!” She hurriedly vanished away from my sight.

I sighed and went to the bathroom. After a few minutes later she came up with towels and fresh clothes.

“Thank you .”

“No, it’s nothing mam. Call me if you need anything .” She bowed and went away.

I closed the door and took a refreshing hot shower. All my bad memories were fading away as the water flowed down my body. I liked the flavour off the body wash and shampoo. The steamy water calmed my mind. I turned of the shower and took the towel. Wrapping it around my wet body, I looked at the hanger for my clothes but as usual I forgot to take them.

It isn’t like that there is somebody in the room. So it’s okay to come out.

So, I carelessly came out of the bathroom without checking that if there was someone in the room.

And THAT was the biggest mistake of my life.

Again for the second time, I was in complete shock.

What. The. Hell.

There he stood in his glory with his signature cocky smirk, arrogance dripping from his look.

If it was any other boy then I would have screamed and but it was him and he’s not a regular boy. He is my sworn enemy, the boy who threatened me that he would make my life hell.
