*bang*
The door was slammed open harshly which made a loud sound by hitting the wall.
"Don't release your frustration on the poor door," Lani said. Layla snorted in response.
Lani lives in the Girls' hostel and Layla is her roommate, right now, whose distorted expression is enough to describe her foul mood.
"Have something first. There are your snacks.” Lani pointed with her finger. “Anyways you don't look good with an empty stomach." Lani had later found out the reason why exactly her roommate hadn't come back from school. Thus, she decided to take care of some things beforehand.
"Hmm. Lemme change. Thanks, Lani." In response, she just smiled.
Having a good roommate i
In the middle of the night, a suppressed sobbing sound was resonating in the silent room. Although someone was trying hard to suppress their sobs yet the absence of noise in the room made it easier to discover.This woke Layla. She sat drowsily and reached out for her phone to switch on the flashlight. She roamed the light source in her hand and saw that a blanket mount was trembling on the bed. She turned on the lights in the room at the very instant.When lights flashed on Lani’s face, she pulled her blanket to block every ray disturbing her sleep but soon Layla’s worried voice calling Opal entered her ears. She snapped out from her dreams. "Umm…" Squinting her eyes, she analyzed the situation first then picked her mobile only to see it's 3:30 in the morning. There were still some hours left before they would start their day.
"You can't skip Sports class today." Layla said to the boy who was planning to skip the sports period again. Placing both of her hands on her hip, she didn’t stop her complaints. “Just because of you, I have to come up with a new excuse every time sir asks about you. Do you even have any idea how much he misses you.” Her last sentence was filled with sarcasm.Seeing her firm stance, Ryan sighed. He knew no matter what he couldn’t escape today. Like a tired person, he replied in defeat. “Fine, I’ll go to the ground.”“At least let him know you are fit and fine.” After finishing her piece of advice she left, trusting his words.…-Sports Ground-On the ground, students were engage
-The Canteen-"Let's sit there." Lani suggested, counting the number of people going to dine together in her head. It was supposed to be five people meeting but an uninvited guest, Zou Haoran joined them too. Well, his presence wasn’t that unexpected when they actually took his only friends in the school.Without wasting any time those four sat down. Zou Haoran and Opal sat on either side of Caleb. While Lani chose to sit in front of Zou Haoran leaving two seats empty.After some time, Layla and Ryan joined them. "Sorry, we are a little late."They run their eyes across the table to scan those three in front of them. Only Zou Haoran seemed to be a little out of place. Everyone was having a canteen meal except him. His food was brought by his driver, prepar
All the tiring classes were over. It was time to leave. Some were leaving, exhausted and some were filled with excitement in the anticipation of completing their plans. Meanwhile, Zou Haoran was waiting for his friends in the car. Not after long, Caleb arrived. "Where is she?" Zou Haoran asked, seeing no sign of Opal with him. Caleb just opened his mouth to answer but at the moment she came."Sorry, I was a little late." Zou Haoran nodded his head, "Let's go". They had plans to visit Zou Haoran’s new place. His parents bought a house so that he could live with comfort even if he is not with them. Their new school wasn't near to their residents despite being in the same city leaving them with no choice but to make these arrangements.
Layla’s expressions were urging her to spill the beans and break this suspense she was creating."You know… they told me that he’s an excellent student, a topper. They found it from their networks." Her eyes were sparkling as she was practicing one of her liked activities."Hmm…Topper?" Lani nodded."There is a rumor but no one dares to speak it loudly..." Lani had lowered her voice. She was whispering. “...that he might have some connections with the Zou family.”“Isn’t it... just an assumption.”Layla shook her head. Then she remembered that he seemed to be rich. “Did something slip from your tongue?” Her eyes were looking at her sharply.Lani gulped under h
Layla was standing in front of a shop. Her head was up, looking at the name written on the top of it. The shop’s name was Aroma where the 'O' was replaced with the beautiful top view of a cup of coffee.When she entered, a bell chimed on her head making the owner aware of someone’s arrival. She went to the counter and smiled at the old man who looked like in his fifties. "Hello, Uncle Fu, I’m here on time."He was the owner of the shop. He flashed a fatherly smile at her. "Hello, little girl. Are you ready?"She nodded. “Find your aunty Fu in the back room.” He showed her the way to enter a room behind the counter.This shop was run by the Fu couple. Due to Frs. Fu’s health, they were having some difficulties in menia
Layla was impatiently waiting for Lani to get ready so that they can leave for school."My singing goddess, you should cut off your long hair." Layla couldn't help but complain seeing her taking time to do her hair. As much as those waist-long black hair looks beautiful, they proved themselves trouble too. Well, Layla was kinda spared from this trouble as her hair only covers half of her back.With another break-recording speed, Lani was ready to leave. "I’m ready, my singing disaster, we can leave at any time."While these two girls were busy complaining and teasing each other, Opal was sitting quietly, waiting for them to finish or that's what they both thought. In reality, Opal was busy thinking about last night's events when she showed her newly bought things. It wasn’t the first time she, the second
-The Canteen-Like always, the canteen was bustling with students and the smell of food was wafting in the air. They all were eating, chatting, and relaxing the moments they got away from their studies.At one of the tables there, four people were seated together: Lani, Opal, Caleb, and Zou Haoran.Caleb didn't think that they would end up eating together… again. But then again, Opal and Lani have become friends as well as roommates, so it was understandable. But the most shocking news for him and Opal was Zou Haoran's new position in the student council. He was aware of his friends' thoughts but didn’t think he would act this fast since Zou Haoran refused to spill any beans on his ways to deal with it.
