PROBABLY IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT /Fayth Fernandes
" I am still going to go!" I announced. Finally, coming out of my room after a week of moping. The past week had been all sorts of emotions. I cried I hoped my heart would finally stop whenever I cried; I thought of the possibilities of taking a year gap, I thought about the possibilities of going with it and the things I had to do in order to survive, I thought about how things would be different if dad was here and I decided to be selfish and stubborn for once. "What do you mean?" My mother asked, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "I am going to the University of Edinburgh in three months." I clarify. "But what about the money?" My mother quickly adds. I could feel my anger making an appearance; I pushed it back. "I will take whatever loan I can get from the bank. The scholarship would cover a part of it too. For the rest of it, I will find a way." I reply. "How will you come up with the remainder. It's a pretty hu

"Keep in touch, alright." My classmates kept adding every time I spoke to one of them. I gave a tight smile, pretending that not having the everyday remainder of them is going to hurt me. Honestly, I would miss only a few of them. I was definitely not going to miss this college. It could go and fuck itself. I was just about to finally leave the college grounds when I heard someone call my name. "Celeste." I turned around to see that it was Carter who was calling my name. I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said farewell to him. I had to been avoiding him since the 'juice day' that we had. I didn't want to stop that now, but it was too late now. "Hey." He says once he is standing right in front of me. "Hey," I reply. "So this is it." "Yeah. I guess so. Finally!" I add with a chuckle. He smiles at that. "I didn't know that you would pull that." He says, gesturing to my suit. I look down and then

"You packed everything, right?" My mother asked for the 100th time today. "Yes, mom. I did. " I replied, rolling my eyes slightly. Today was the day that I was finally leaving. I was excited as well as nervous at the same time. "The taxi is here," I say to my mother. She nods her head. "Let's go." My sister Sylvia says, swinging one of my bags on her shoulders. I drag my suitcases with me, my mother taking a few with her too. I had thought that maybe I would have to put some of my bags in cargo, but thankfully all of my things could be taken at once itself. The other necessities we could buy it there later. The cab driver helps us hoist the luggage in the boot of the car and the things that don't fit there I place them on my lap in the backseat. I watch as I get farther and farther from home, my nerves were jittery. "Don't forget to call me as soon as you reach. And text me when y

"Would you like a club sandwich?" The air-hostess asks us, dragging her food cart. "Is it vegetarian?" Phoebe enquires. "No. But we do have veg sandwiches. Would you like one mam?" She asks her. "Can I have a club sandwich?" I ask her. "Me too." Alexandra quips. She hands us our sandwiches before making her way towards the other passengers. "A ham sandwich, huh, Alexandra?" Phoebe questions, her eyebrows raised. "We are up in the air baby. I am no longer obliged to follow my parent's traditions." She says. I chuckle at that. The thing was Alexandra and Phoebe were both vegetarians since birth. Although Alexandra is quite a rule breaker when it comes to eating habits, Phoebe is a strict vegetarian. "If they serve alcohol, I am taking it without hesitation," Alexandra says. "Nope. You will do no such thing. You are a sad drunk, and this is a long journey. S

I woke up to the sound of Phoebe trying to wake us up. I sat up on the bed, my mind trying to process my surrounding. I was confused for a second before I remembered that we had reached Edinburgh. I rubbed my eyes and face planted myself on the bed again. My body felt sore, and all I wanted to do was to sleep the tiredness away. "A few more minutes!" I whine. My face still squished against the hotel blankets. The temperature was still cold, although it was summer in Scotland. "Get your ass out of bed Celeste," Phoebe says, throwing a pillow at me. "Geez, I am up woman," I reply. I stay in bed a little while, staring into the wall ahead of me, contemplating whether it was even worth getting out of bed. "Soon," Phoebe adds. "Ughh," I whine, before finally getting out of bed. I take my toiletries and go towards the bathroom. I freshen up and try to tame my hair that looked like a nest on top of my head. I com

"Hello, Girls!" Robert greeted. We each shook hands with him, greeting him and introducing ourselves. "How do you find Edinburgh so far?" He questions. "Like a fairytale," I answered. "Yeah, I usually hear it a lot. I am glad that you like it here." He said with a smile. "Shall we go ahead and check out the apartments?" He questioned. We nodded our heads and let him lead the way. We had informed Robert that we needed to find an apartment that was close to the university, so that we wouldn't waste much time and expenses on travel. He had informed us that the apartments closer to the university were a little expensive, but that he would make sure that we find a reasonable one. Robert spoke to us openly, making jokes here and there. His warm personality brightened up the room. He was as old as my father, and talking to him reminded me of the very thing that I was missing. This was not the time to start crying, Celeste!&nb

'This is my bedroom. I will have to set it up later and also unpack my bags later.' I tell my mother, showing her my bedroom on the video call. "You have such a nice view. I am so jealous of you.' My sister butts in. 'You are always jealous of me Sylvia, for reasons that I am yet to know of.' I replied, rolling my eyes at her. 'What have you girls planned to do today. Exploring the city yet?' my mother questions. I sit down on the bed and turn the camera towards me. 'We planned to go grocery shopping and get some items for the apartment. Exploring the city will be for someday later.' My mother nods her head. 'Okay, I will end the call. You go do what you have to do." I bid both of them goodbye before ending the call. I place my phone on the nightstand that was beside the bed. I made a mental note to unpack my bags after we were done with shopping. I walked back and forth in my room, taki

"This lights can go here," I suggest. We had been decorating the apartment for a while now. We were done with all the arranging and setting up. Us working together helped us finish the work much sooner than we anticipated. "Let's make mac and cheese tonight," Alexandra says. "Yes! The kitchen looks so pretty now. It makes me want to cook." I reply. "Let's celebrate with some alcohol. Let's celebrate this new apartment, us being here. Everything." Phoebe says. "Then I guess we will need something more special than simple mac and cheese," I add. "I know just what to do," I exclaimed, clapping my hands in excitement. "I am going to do Gnocchi, but I don't like it when too many people are there in the kitchen. So leave that to me." I say. They nod their heads. "Then I will make some roasted butter garlic mushrooms and some roasted broccoli. " Alexandra pipes in. "And I will get the wi

“Swipe right on him!” Phoebe took my phone out of my hand and swiped right on the guy. “I was going to do that.” I took my phone back from her. My phone screen lit up. I was greeted with the notification that said ‘Celeste and Brian, matched.’ “Text him!” Phoebe screamed. “I am not going to text him first,” I replied, crossing my arms over my chest. “Guys can’t text first on bumble.” Alexandra reminded me again. “What should I say?” I asked them. “You know what, text him tomorrow. Don’t do it right away.” Alexandra suggests. I nod and place my phone on the coffee table. “I think it’s safe enough to get drunk now,” Alexandra says. I get up from my place and go to the kitchen. I retrieve the bottle of vodka and a few other juices to make a cockta

My head was pounding, and my whole body was aching. The sunlight filtered in through my window, and I groaned at its intensity. I smothered my face in the pillow, trying my best to keep the sunlight away from my face. I should remember to put up curtains later if I ever wanted to sleep in peace without the sunlight waking me up. Why were hangovers such a pain in the arse? I tried focusing my attention on the voices, but the apartment was dead silent. Looks like both Phoebs and Alexa, were still sleeping. I decided to sleep for a while too. I had a nagging thought at the back of my head that I was forgetting something important. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember. I shrugged it off and went back to sleep.----"I fucked up big time!" I heard Alexa shout. Her voice rang in my ears, bringing in another wave of pain. "Oh for fuck's sake can you keep it down? Some of us are having a hangover here." I shouted back. The
