last update Last Updated: 2021-07-20 08:39:07

My literature professor gave us the topic for the test and we all have to state our opinions and point of views on it and we also have to justify our opinions that, why we are thinking like that and what we believe about it. The topic is very interesting and researching about it gives me so much knowledge and I can use it for myself too "women empowerment and feminism". I am really looking forward to it. after writing it on the paper we have to talk about it infront of the class and this is the hard part of the test and I don't know how iam gonna do it but I hope I can do it and i hope the research iam doing for the test will help me to gain some confidence to talk.

Iam sitting alone in the library for the last one hour reading "Virginia woolf's A Room of one's own". It is an extended essay joining her two lectures about social injustices,women's lack of free expression. I liked her most essential point which is " A woman must have money and a room of her own is she is to write fiction". Iam reallyliking it reading so far .i can learn so much from reading it.

In the middle of drowning in my book I felt a presence opposite me and heard the sound of chair screeching and within a half minute I heard a rough male voice " Hey there! iam watching you from the last one hour reading that book without moving.so,I came here to check that you are dead or so" He said laughter in his voice.

I lift my head to see a blonde guy with tattoos peeking out from his sleeves and a lip ring. "Umm..... I think you have cleared your doubt now, so you can go" I rudely replied. With all the tattoos and lip ring he is giving me not so good vibes and I don't want to get in trouble and the most important thing is that iam not comfortable with people I don't know and I stay far away from New people.over all iam not friendly at all.

" Yeah now I know that you are not dead or unconscious I can happily give you my company" he said rolling his eyes and planting his annoying self on the opposite chair.

" I don't think so, and your not welcome here" I said narrowing my eyes.

"So what is it you reading that kept you so busy that I thought you are dead" he said ripping book from my hands " ummm interesting so you are a feminist" he said nooooo he stated.

" Seriously! First I don't know who the fudge you are, second you just can't assume anything if iam feminist or not by seeing me reading about it and third Don't take precisely rip some thing from someone who you don't know" I said taking my book back from his hands sending daggers from my eyes at him.

" Woah woah there tiger, iam sorry if I came as rude but that is not my intention" he said lifting his hands up in the air.

" Whatever! Will you please leave. I have to go back to reading" I said opening my book and thankfully I have stopper at the page IAM reading, If not I have to waste my time searching for it.

" Okay let me try again. Hey! Iam Elijah, Elijah James and you can call me Eli,E or whatever you want to call" Eli i mean Elijah said givinghis hand to shake.

" See,sorry to disappoint you but iam not interested so leave" I said going back to my book.

" Who told you iam hitting on you! I may came here for friendship" he said with a frown.

" Whatever it maybe I don't want to be your friend and I already have two amazing best friends and how do I believe you? It's only been 10 minutes of us talking" I said assessing him from his blonde hair to his sneakers.

" Good point but trust me I don't have any other intention. You seem interesting and I like interesting things and people and I just want you to be my friend" Elijah said shrugging his shoulders.

He is tall and broad with blonde hair and blue eyes with tattoos and piercings and by the first look he seems suspish but now by talking with him he seems cool and genuine?

I don't know if I want to believe him or not. Trust is not something you can give easily. Trust is to earn by being loyal and genuine to the people you love.

" Don't think much scar,let's just be friends already! " he said with a playful smirk.

" How do you know my name?" I asked narrowing my eyes trying to be intimidate infront of this gaint man.

" Ughhh stop with your intimidating looks you are not scary scar, and it's not hard to know your name when your uni's I'd is on the table and I can clearly see it" he said folding his hands with a smug smile.

" Whatever Elijah we can't be friends and I already have two friends and we don't allow anyother people in our group" I lied to make him leave.

" No problem I can convince your two other friends and make them my friends too" he said grinning like a child who got his favorite candy.

" Oh my gosh! Why are you so persistent to become my friend?" I asked scowling.

" I told you,you look interesting and kind of a person who will do anything for her friends and loved ones and cute and funny too when you try to intimidate someone" he said laughing. " I can see why you are hesitating to trust new people and if I will be in your place I would hesitate too. Don't worry scar iam not a bad guy and you can trust me, I promise" Eli said with a serious expression and looking straight in to my eyes.

It felt like he can see my pain through my eyes and with his smile he is assuring me that everything is gonna be okay and iam with you kind of vibes. The way he is talking makes me want to accept him as my friend.may be I can make him my friend too.new life,new changes and new friends too right?

Lilly and Zay is there with me and they can easily read a person with in a minute so no need to worry. If what he is saying is true and wants to be my friend then iam getting another best friend.

" Umm I'll think about it" I said dismissing him.

" Thank you, thank you I will be waiting here tomorrow at same time okay?" He said getting excited.

" Yeah okay, same place" I said giving him a small smile.

" Okay then I'll take my leave and you can read your book with peace now" he said getting up from his chair.

" Awwww so sweet of you " I said sarcastically rolling my eyes.

" Ha ha ha iam a gentleman and I know how to treat a woman " Eli said bowing dramatically.

" Yeah yeah gentleman and you? Huh! Maybe in your dreams" I said with a fake scowl.

" Ouch! It hurts" Eli said dramatically. He is so much like zayreen. She is also a drama queen. If these two be in one room then there is going to be a one hella entertainment for the viewers.

" Okay okay stop you drama queen and go.you are wasting my time.i have a test to prepare". I said waving at him.

" Hey iam not a girl so don't call me a drama queen and iam going so chill" Eli said taking his backpack and slinging it on his shoulder.

" Okay then bye! " I said

" Bye and don't forget to think about making me your friend, okay? If you don't make me your friend iam gonna stalk you everywhere" Eli said making a serious face and failing miserably.

" Ha ha ha okay okay let's see" I said laughing at his funny serious face.

" Ha ha ha laugh how much you want but iam serious about stalking thing" he said mocking my laugh and again failing to compose his serious posture.

" Okay mister serious, go I have to prepare for my test" I said playfully narrowing my eyes.

" Okay seriously iam going now and please scar think about it" Eli said with a pout and puppy eyes waving at me and leaving the library.

" Okay I'll think about" I waved back. I already made up mmy ind and iam going to introduce Eli to lilly and Zay and going to be his friend.

From the outs,ide He looks like ba in bad gaint and seems to be intimidating with all his tattoos and piercing but from the inside, he is a big softie with an adorable pout and puppy eyes and a good sense of humour too and so much drama. I may be bad at reading people at the first encounter but with Elijah, first, he seems to be a bad boy with a big ego but talking with him he seems a guy with a kind heart and he seems empathetic too.

I hope my two best friends will like eli too. If they don't like him I don't know how to make them like him but I know if lilly and Zay spend at least ten minutes with Eli then they'll donna like him and iam sure about it.

Let see what tomorrow brings but for now I have a test to prepare for and want my entire focus on this task first.

    Omer's pov :Her grey eyes are still haunting me. It's like something is eating her alive. She has the ability to drown anyone in her deep eyes and can burn anyone with her piercing grey eyes. It's been a month since I saw her, when my hyper active match maker sister left us alone in that cafe. When Zay called me and told me to come to that cafe,I immediately know that she is up to something and my guess is correct when I saw Scarlett there with her brown hair and mesmerizing grey eyes. She has that aura around her which makes people forget everything and just get lost in her. She can captivate anyone with her natural and simple personality. I told her that I would have saved anyone in that situation at the party, yes I would have but after that I wouldn't have took that bastard to the police and make sure he cannot leave prison for a long time and I did it for Scarlett because when I saw her struggling and crying that day,I felt something which I never felt before no

    Women should have the right to make an opinion and should have the freedom of expression. It is 21 century but still, in many countries, women are being treated as objects and don't have any privileges and rights. We all should work together to make a difference and can able to change something. Women empowerment is to encourage women to participate in activities like stating opinions making decisions for themselves and being independent. women is not an object but a human being too and should treat equally and gave opportunities equally". I ended my speech on my topic about women empowerment and feminism. I didn't think that I will get applauded because of my speech but now hearing the applause makes me think that I can do anything if I wanted to. I can change myself according to myself.I get back to my place and took out my paper in which I wrote about the topic.

" hey what happened, why are you sulking so early in the morning" I asked going to the kitchen to make coffee for myself.When I didn't get any response from her, I turned around to still sulking zay. It's weird, usually, zay don't scowl and sulk this long. I made my coffee and took it to the living room. lilly is nowhere to be found. I think she is tired of cooking for half of the day. " so, are you gonna tell me what had happened to you " I asked again hoping to get an answer but no, her scowl deepened more." if you want an answer you have to ask eli," lilly said coming out from her room and going to the kitchen." ugh, seriously lilly, why do you have to take that stupid blondie's name so early in the morning. you have ruined my day" zay yelled getting up from the couch and angrily stomping her feet going to her room with a bang she closed her door." ouch, my

It's just a casual meeting nothing more. Why am I behaving like this? If I behave like this I am going to get a panic attack and I don't want that to happen.I am currently sitting in my last class feeling like the classroom is closing on me and it's becoming hard to breathe.

My heart dropped to my stomach and I tried very hard to hide my expression from omer but I think he knows that my mood has changed but he didn't ask anything.We left the cafe and crossed the road and entered the park. There are children everywhere and adults are sitting on the benches watching their children play. We decided to take a stroll. We are walking side by side with a small gap between us but once in a while omer's fingers touched my hand ever so slightly and the goosebumps I am getting from his mere touch is insane." so, I hope I got your forgiveness" omer said looking regretful and waiting for my answer nervousness written on h

We never get the time to talk about anything but now I have all the time I want in my hands and I'm sure I will get to experience everything. “ Rose!

They all look still worried despite the doctor saying that Scarlett is alright and she just needs rest.Physically she is fine but mentally, we don't know how much that crazy girl has damaged Scarlett. The way we found her is a nightmare and I never want to see that again.Maria is in the Asylum as she is not fit in the head to be in a prison but the mental asylum is much more cruel than the prison and I will make sure of that." Yes, she is sleeping and you guys should go home and rest." They have been in the hospital with me since the second I took Scarlett here and she is very lucky to have friends who stays with us in our difficult times too." I will stay with you, Omer.

    My eyes opened on their accord not giving me any other option but to brace the light blinding them. It's like my life has been dedicated to the hospital at the amount of time I opened my eyes. I feel like this is my second home." How are you feeling, Scarlett?" A familiar deep voice sounded beside me which sounded relieved and happy to see me open my eyes again and I am grateful too, for the first time in years to open my eyes after the incidents I didn't want to be in." I'm fine, Omer." I knew I would find him beside me no matter what and the fear I felt in the seconds before I passed out was like hell and I was so afraid that I would never see this beautiful man ever again." I'm so happy that you are with me, omer." His eyes softened, raised his hand and patted my head with so much love and adoration shining in his eyes. " I Am happy too that you are with me, Rose. I was so scared that I was going to lose you before doing this." My brows drawn down in confusion at his last words

As much as he is anxious I am anxious too.Fear is gripping my heart so tightly that it feels like it's going to burst any second. I have got the last location of Scarlett's phone and now I just need to be on time to see her there.I don't know what I will do if I don't see her there. We are driving into thick forests and the GPS is showing that we are fifteen minutes away from the destination. I am going to drive those fifteen minutes in five minutes." I just need five more minutes to get there, Jordan. Don't worry we will take Scarlett with us this time." I assured him and myself. I need to be positive right now.We don't know who the stalker is yet but once I get my hands on her then I am going to kill her." I hope she is okay, I don't know what I will do if something….."

    Present " How Can I forget what you did, Maria!" I scoffed at her but she just stood there without any remorse or guilt on her face. How can she be fine after hurting someone to the extent they decided to take their life and always felt self-conscious and suffered from mental health?" I did everything to gain your attention, Scarlett! I was suffocating with being only your friend and I want more from you but you never looked at me like that." Tears gathered in her eyes and she looked so broken but now I can easily predict when she is going to change. She is behaving like someone who has a switch in her head that is turning off and on every second." Maria! I'm so sorry that you felt suffocated and I never noticed your feelings towards me but if I would have known then still wouldn't have reciprocated your feelings." I respect her feelings and I would have supported her and helped her but she didn't approach me but rather walked a negative path, a path of destruction." I know that bu

    Continuation of the last chapterIt's been one week since I bolted from the cafeteria not giving any reply to Noah and one week since with our Maria's bullying. It seems like the silence before a storm. I never thought that Maria would go to this extent to bully me, hurt me, and made me miserable.I don't know she did it intentionally to hurt me or it's just a coincidence but seeing her smirk with a smug face screamed she did it to hurt me and this not only hurt me but broke me into pieces.It was the day of prom when I and Maria were still friends we planned to come together without any dates. We planned our prom shipping till the time we get ready at my house because it is close to the school. We choose our dress colors too, Maria chose the red color and I chose wine color but we didn't choose the model of the dress and waited to decide once we find anything on the internet but Maria had plans which involved bullying and treating people.I still chose wine color for my dress and I c

    I remember everything that has happened and I can’t forget anything from the time where I have spent more bad moments than good ones. Good memories are easy to forget but the bad memories will haunt you forever and they will stay with you till the day you die, maybe still haunts you after your death too. Who knows!Meeting Maria was a good thing or a bad thing. I never thought about it at first but as the days went by I got, even more, confused about it. She is this girl who is so calm and lovely at one minute and the second minute she will become this moody and bitchy girl who likes to bully people. I have never liked this side of Maria and have always tried to change her habit of getting happiness from others humiliation but I never thought in my life that I would be the victim of Maria’s weird obsession with bullying people and humiliating them. “If you don’t want to get humiliated or embarrassed in front of everyone then stop talking to other people and replacing me with them”.
