"Storm~" I knock on her door. But with a sigh, I accept another failed attempt.

It's been a while since Storm left her room. She wasn't always like this. Back in highschool…

A few minutes later, I hurried back to my room. It was my second year for college, and I doubt I'll be given a break, let alone be late for class. So I wore my uniform and ate my breakfast.

On the way out, I saw a glimpse of my reflection on the mirror. My hand crawled up to my hair and lifted it all on one side. It made me feel nostalgic. I remember always wearing my hair this way. It was more consistent than my grades, despite being an honor student.

Anyways, enough of that. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember much about my highschool life, as if I trained myself to forget it.

I took my bike and opened the door, unexpectedly welcomed by the old man living next door.

"Marilyn, dear, you're gonna be late for class."
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHxounmfhN
"Don't worry, Pops. This baby is faster than a bullet train," I pat my bike as I smile at him, yet cringing at the same time. I encouraged (deeply) people to call me Lin, because Marilyn...I felt old, which I probably feel like, but that's besides the point. "I'll make a run for it now. Take care of yourself!"

"You have been late for three days already," Professor Storm sighed. Yes, she's Storm's aunt. Yes, I call my best friend with her last name.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DQ9hPKoHF
"Oh come on~ It's just three days!"
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79wXoJcy4T
"Lin, the starting of classes started two days ago."

"I...s-still see no problem in that…?"

"Just because the students are more than willing to let you copy their notebooks, doesn't mean you have to," she sighs yet again. "How is Bonnie?"
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaC7qjaa2d
"Storm's... doing good," guilty, I looked anywhere but her eyes.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTESIpclbED
"I told you to stop calling her Storm already. She was named Bonnie for a reason," Professor Storm glared at me. "And I know you're lying. She's getting worse isn't she?"
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8FW1dG5TH
I nod.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iK6zldhua
"Alright. Lin?"
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTW33w4hzE
"Yeah?"
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMIqKXgQ0j
"Thank you for staying by her."

"Storm!!!" I shout at her door again. It's already Sunday. The week flew so fast.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh2GBy2zdc
Storm wasn't coming out any minute now, so I left her food outside, like I always do.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gKljgmQfs
There was nothing to do on a Sunday, besides be responsible. But I can do that in the afternoon. Besides, 8am seemed like the right time to watch television and drink my daily dose of coffee, my life source.

The news showed a collection of pictures, containing Bridgette Alante, a famous singer that has been the talk of the town, and Brooke, a member of the boy band Way Up. It seems that Brooke was already married, and was forced to date Bridgette.

She deserves it, I thought. Surprised by the thought that crossed, I swiftly changed the channel. She really looked familiar, but in a bad way.

I decided to catch up with a drama series that was recommended to me, and got too absorbed in it. The store will be closing in an hour!! Am I an idiot?? Don't answer that.

"C'mon, c'mon," I rushed through the streets, glancing through the unfamiliar faces and glimmering lights. I silently cry, feeling the wind on my face. The rush was making me emotional, but my body didn't falter any second.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RBeLDn4N5
I leave my bike, locking it because, reasons, and dash into the store. I just had to buy food that was for at least two days. And most importantly, my coffee.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ8Lzuph5m
I grab a cart and-
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f5MWMWoYo
"Oh, sorry..." the guy stares at me, his eyes almost as if I only brought him sad memories. That felt like an insult, damn.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VEPMNDkgz
"Um...I'm so sorry, but I'm in a hurry. I'll grab this now."
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahjQ3Vcujg
"Wait!"
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePbfZoYiK6
I run away, ignoring him. I don't have time for this, literally. The meat were calling out for me, and I had to run for them.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC48k76HVA
But...he oddly looked familiar. But then again, I couldn't take a look at his face properly, because I was thinking if they still had my favorite brand of coffee.

Finally, I was already by the counter, claiming my groceries. I speed walk to my bike, and placed the plastic on the basket.

I start going home, when suddenly, a vision occurs. I was sitting next to someone that made my heart skip a beat. He was smiling at me, calling me something...something he only called me…
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS9Y1C5wh8
"Mama Mary?" the guy's voice, from before, says behind me. That nickname was meant to be stupid, but it sent shivers down my spine.

I look at the ground. It's going to rain, I thought. But those were just my tears.
747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8PIKI2W33
I look at him, more clearly this time, which made my heart ache. "Don't come near me."

I didn't understand why I said it, but he did.
