Chapter 1 - Dawn

*alarm rings 5am*

"ahh this alarm", yuni slams off the alarm button.

"ohh lord, another day of surviving"

,she jolts off her blanket rubbing her eyes . She draw the curtains open , a beam of light brighten ups the room .

She stares at her reflect in the window with the same old emptiness in her eyes .

She looks at her wrist staring at the scar

" I wonder what story i have for this one ...last time it was that I tripped in the bathroom floor tho ...."

as she was lost in her own thoughts she hears a knock on her door

*knock knock knock *

"yuni are u awake yet ? , be quick or u will be late .. try and reach in time atleast on the first day of college , it puts on a good impression....are u listening to what am saying? " it was her mom

"Yes mom..." , she yells from her room

"good get down once ur ready "

"why not mom....who can deny ur orders .." yuni murmurs .

She quickly gets ready ,with her uniform on she grabs her headset tosses it into her bag and rushes down to the dinning table .

"great u were quick " .

"yeah ,kinda"

she sits on the dining chair

her mom looks at her with breakfast in her hand ,

"*sighs* yuni what's up with your hair!!??"

she placed the plate on the table , with a grumpy expression she says ,

"you almost look like u had no sleep at all ..come I'll make ur hair atleast for the very first day " she moves forward raises her hand over yuni's head .

yuni grabs her mother's hand ,

" what.. am good this way and either ways I am not interested in marking any impression on anyone.. more than that I am planning on not being noticed so I think am in the best form for that "

yuni's mother looks at her with fierce eyes suddenly her eyes goes on yuni's wrist , shocked with a concerned look she asks ,

" what happened did u fell again ?? "

yuni quickly drops her hand hiding the scar ,

" yeah ...i think the bathroom tiles are too slippery for me " .

with regretful eyes her mother gazes at her , " hmm I know ,this is the second time u have faced this , those tiles will be changed very soon.."

she sits beside yuni with hands on the table

" but ...am trying my best , the schedule is a bit overwhelming plus i have plenty of bank work to do , u know how life has been since ur dad."

yuni stands of the chair slamming her hands on the table leaving the statement incomplete,

" I am not asking u for anything mom ...i am seriously not "

yuni's mother holds her hands ,

" I am your mother yuni , i Will do my best to get u everything u want but just .."

yuni jerks off her hands from her mother's, with teary eyes she yells ," you know I don't like talking about it , can't you just stop now ??!!! "

she grabs her bag and leaves the house slamming the door .

She runs down the alley leading towards the central park , she stops beneath a tree and sobs .

wiping her tears she takes out her headset plugs her phone and plays her favourite music in full volume .

* soft music plays*

she takes a long breath and closes her eyes

*'The lost bird ..where have u been ,

open your wings and fly u have to be seen ..'*

In between the mesmerising lyrics she hears a faint yell *hey you !! *

*watch out!!*

she opens her eyes with a confused look on her face , spots a guy running towards her . *the ball !!* she hears it again

the moment she removes her headset , she looks up in the sky and spots a basketball coming right towards her .

Quickly she doges it off , the basketball strikes the tree and bounces back to the guy and hits his head .

The guy falls down and sits back with one hand in his head ,

"ouch!!"

yuni rushes towards him , " are you alright??"

He was a tall , fair, black haired good looking guy , he almost looked like a character from a fictional romance novel with multiple piercing and messy wavy hair making him look rouge.

The guy looks at her with a painful expression

" um yeah am good , thanks "

the guy stoods up and looks at yuni he notices the headset around her neck , it was bustling the same song .

" no wonder u weren't able to hear me ..with music that loud .. damn i can hear it till here "

yuni clicks off the pause button , " am so sorry I wasn't in my senses "

" yeah I can surely see that , well it's the very first day of my college and look what have u done to my face !!"

pointing his index finger on the red spot on his head

" what else can I expect from a nerd like u"

yuni glares at him with shocking expressions

"excuse me ? "

he picks up the ball in his hands " yeah u are excused "

shocked with the guy's attitude yuni rolls her eyes .

"later nerd " the guy walks off

yuni looks at her watch '10:00 am' " oh noo no no shit , I am late " saying this she rushes off to her university.

*THE LIGHT BEARERS * says the main gate

yuni rushes over the staircase looking for her class , she then walks down a corridor reading the class numbers sequentially

" 13 c...13 ..c ..where is itt gosh don't tell me it's on another floor "

she reaches the end of the corridor unable to find her class

"ahh as expected I think it's on the next floor "

she slowly starts to walk the other way out backwards ,as soon as she turns she bumps into a guy , she opens her eyes , her eyes layed straight at the bagde saying * Lucus Brown, class president* she looks up it was a guy ,he was a tall good looking hazel eyed guy with a clean look and sleek glasses

" are u alright?"

yuni gets herself together from the

startlement

" huh yeah ...i am so sorry I didn't see u "

" no worries.. i haven't seen u around before , u are new here i believe "

"yeaa i mean just finding my class ..it was a rushy day so .. u know .."

" no issue " , he moves next to yuni bending at her shoulders to see the form," lemme help u out"

" oh sure thanks ..." She opens up the form pointing out the class number "it says 13 c "

" ohh it's that way of the corridor second last class " says lucus pointing out the direction for her

"alright thanks "

"it's fine .. I am lucus by the way nice to see you, and u?" He raises his hand offering a formal handshake

"i am yuni , yuni lin nice meeting u "

*Ringing of the bell *

" ohh I am getting late gotta go thnks again"

"no problem, see u around"

yuni rushes off to her class , she slides the door of the class , the class was filled with a bustle of chats and excitement of the very first day , she looks around the class and spots her friend sammy already waving at her

yuni places her bag on the desk and sits beside her

"ahh finally"

"where were u , i thought u are not gonna come , i even texted u in the morning"

" sorry about that it was a hectic morning today "

"why so ??"

"ahh don't ask about it I'll puke"

"come on spill the tea baby girl " .

The class door slides open there is a sudden silence in the room as the teacher enters the class .

yuni whispers "I'll tell u later " .
