Mr. Decarlo was seated on his black leather sofa, flipping through the pages of the non-fiction novel that he was reading at the moment.
Shutting the book, he glanced at the unconscious body that lay on the couch that was on his left. Her hair was disheveled and her dress was torn.
Mr. Decarlo wasn't sure what she did to deserve this.
"... you've been living in the neighboring building?" Letting out a small huff, he smiled and nodded gently. "This is the main reason I brought you here. Better than going to a hospital," Looking back at the building that she just walke
"Shall we get started then?" the Dean asked the professors beside him. They nodded in response. "Alright," he sat up straight. "A very good morning to you, Mr. Burke, Dr. Decarlo, Mrs. Lee and students! Today, we're here to discuss regarding the incident that supposedly took place on the night of the dinner dance,"
He said 'no'.... Why did he say 'no'?Normally, he would want me to forget everything unusual that happened between us... but right now, few minutes before, he was... different...
"I believe I said, 'The Feynman Lectures; Volume 2'," Mr. Decarlo growled as he looked down at the grey cover of the book that said 'Vol. 1'. "Isn't that it?" Aeliana asked, not bothering the slightest bit to make a single movement. "You had one job, Winslow," He sighed, waving the thick book in the air.
Taking small, cautious steps towards the tall man, Aeliana wondered why he had demanded her to come over to him.
"Evening," Madelyn walked in through the door to their shared apartment. "Hi," Aeliana muttered as she looked up from her textbook. "How was work without me?" “Boring, to be honest,” she replied. “Especially because a familiar hot-ass daddy showed up and didn’t even look around for his little princess,” “Of course he didn’t,” Aeliana rolled her eyes, very well aware as to why he didn’t. “Did you meet him today?” Madelyn questioned eagerly, as she dumped her bag and coat on the sofa. “I thought I already told you, Maddie,” Aeliana rolled her eyes as she clicked her pen. “We have physics lectures daily,” “Ugh! Boring!” she exclaimed. “That isn't what I meant,”
"Maybe he was getting his beauty sleep," the blond haired girl rubbed her eyes. "Ew," Aeliana scrunched her nose at how disgustingly cliche her best friend sounded. "You probably checked your phone 438771 times last night, to check if he had replied," Maddie wiggled her eyebrows at her and took a sip of her coffee. "Did not," she snapped in response, embarrassed by how well Maddie knew her. "I wonder what the 'E' stands for," Maddie muttered as she brought the white mug she held, to her lips. "Eric? Ethan?" "Hmm," "Elliot?"
The seconds passing by, felt like hours. When will Mr. Burke stop scribbling on that board? I've had enough organic chemistry for one day. A little bit of physics would be the cherry on top right now. Aeliana stared at the wall clock, impatiently waiting for the long arm to approach '12'. "Why'd they have to switch slots? It's so annoying," Leah muttered to her. "Tell me about it," Aeliana rolled her eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "My brain is only conditioned for dreadful physics early in the morning," "Uh huh," Leah agreed. "I'm a lil' drowsy too," "10 minutes to go," Aeliana mumbled to her friend. "You got this!"***** "Is anyone interested in getting anything from the vending machine?" Leah
8 months prior to present time The lemon cream fish wasn’t as delicious as he had expected it to be. He was rather disappointed. But then again, only few times in a million was he ever satisfied with the food that restaurants served. He would naturally gravitate towards stronger, richer flavors. This didn’t exactly hit the spot. Certainly not like his mother’s legendary paella would. “I heard that Oliver got his appointment at the Herendale Medical Center,” the blonde haired man who sat across him, muttered immediately after swallowing a cherry tomato. “Yeah, he works there now,” Antonio replied as he sipped on the red wine. “It’s what he wanted. He didn’t want to deal with the trouble of moving,”“Fair, I would say. Finding a good place isn’t easy,”“I agree,” he said, taking another sip. “Speaking of residences, he lives close by, huh?” he questioned Antonio, as he popped an olive in his mouth. “Floor above mine,” the Spaniard sighed, recalling all the times he would come home
"Hello," an unfamiliar voice spoke."Oh! Um hello," Aeliana replied as she glanced at him, smiling nervously.The man was laying down on a sunchair, dressed in a beige short and printed shirt. He held a book in his hand and had a pair of sunglasses over his eyes until a while ago."Do you live here?" he asked, with a small smile secured on his face as his caramel brown orbs glistened through his narrowed eyes."Oh, no actually. I'm here to visit my brother, he isn't in right now though," Aeliana explained as she noticed how the man was clearly wondering what she was doing there. "I actually came up here out of curiosity. I live in the East Wing and there's no pool there, so...""Right," he said as he let out a small chuckle. "I'm sorry if I took you by surprise, it's just that I feel like I've seen you before,""Oh, is that so?" she was taken ab
"Didn't it occur to you that you were supposed to buy a new one, when the cable in use was hanging by a single wire?" Aeliana looked at her brother in disbelief as she handed him the cable that was safely tucked in her bag until few seconds ago. "Thanks," he said simply, as he gladly wrapped his fingers around the white cable. "I'm leaving," Aeliana said. "I have work to do," "Work?" Adrian questioned as he plugged his phone into a power bank. "Oh, right. Exam," "Yeah," "We're throwing that party as soon as it's over," Adrian announced as he raised his eyebrows. "Don't tell me you forgot about it," "I couldn't care less about that right now," Aeliana rolled her eyes. "Professor challenged us. Half of the class should score an A grade. If not, he's going to schedule summer classes," "Summer classes?" "Mm hmm,"
