Chapter 7
Ena's POV:
I rubbed my eyes with my hands.
8:00 am
Why did I wake early? It's the weekend...
I hugged my pillow even tightly and was fast asleep once again. But not for long. The voices, which were going louder and louder, day by day, started speaking again. The only difference in today was they were much clearer than ever.
'... what a quiet morning...I should make some coffee... maybe the cappuccino I made yesterday... Ena loved it...'
Me?
Did the voices say my name?
I didn't drink cappuccino with the voices yesterday...
Who did I drink a cappuccino with?
I started recalling yesterday's events.
I went to school...
No cappuccino in the cafeteria...
Not made by Ivan...
Not even Elen...
Then I went to Dylan 's house...
We studied together...
Then he made me capp-
Wait! Sh*t...
Dylan!!!
Oh my goodness is it Dylan who's mind I'm into from some days...
What the f*

I went on my balcony hoping to see him standing there.
Should I talk about it?
He wasn't at his balcony. Maybe I should enjoy the weather then. There was an apple blossom tree in front of my house. It always made my memories fresh. Always when I look at it. There was this same tree in my backyard in Elanda. My father and I had planted it together. They were such great times. I miss it.
"Hey. Psssst"
I turned around. There he was. He looked like he just came out of the shower. Wearing shorts only.
So h-
"Was that you?"
What was me?
Is he talking about the thoughts invasion?!
It was a long silence and it started to feel a little awkward. But he finally had to speak up.
"These- ... mmm it's actually nothing"
He then turned around and went inside.
What type of conversation was that?
***
"A pool party? Why not"
Ivan was on the phone when I came in.
"Wait I'll call you later"
"Elen is calling us over. She is holding a pool party. Do you wanna go?"
"Is it even a question? Why wouldn't I?"
We both giggled and packed our swimming essentials.
"Hurry up! Get out of the bathroom Ivan"
"Just a little bit of eyeshadow"
"Who applies makeup on a pool party? GET OUT NOW!"
"Okay. Okay. Calm down, girl. You have zero patience"
She came out with dark lipstick and black eye shadow.
That looks totally weird!
I sighed but said nothing more.

The air was filled with the sound of music. When I entered I saw a couple of other girls already in the pool and some drinking orange juice at the side. Elen came out of nowhere and asked us to hop in.
"Why did you do makeup on a pool party?"
"What? Can't I? Literally, you and Ena have same minds"
"Leave it. Go change"
"I don't want to go right now", I said "Maybe after sometime"
"No. I want you in right now"
What happened next came as a surprise for me. Elen pushed me. I tripped over and lost my balance. Just in a few seconds, I was in the pool, trying to swim to the surface.
"ELEN WHAT TYPE OF JOKE WAS THAT?!"
"I asked you to hop in but you didn't"
A shiver ran through my spine and goosebumps rose up.
The water is so damn cold!
I was angry at her for some minutes but she made up my mood again.
"Donuts"
***
I came out and dried myself with a towel and then changed into fur pyjamas and a white T-shirt.
"I have dinner with someone. I have to go home and change up"
"It's so early Ivan. You can postpone the dinner"
"No please. I postponed it two times already"
"I'm coming with you"
"You too Ena? That is so unfair"
"Next time", our voices said in one tune.
***
I was standing on my balcony. Night had fallen until now.
"Did you prepare the chemistry test?"
I turned around to see Dylan staring right into my eyes.
"Oh no! Shit I forgot!"
"Come here... I didn't do it as well"
It looked like he was waiting for me to come and prepare with him.
"Ummmm... Let me pick up my pen and notebook"
He nodded.
I went down and rang his bell. He opened the door after some minutes.
"You could have come the other way"
"Which way?", I asked stepping in.
"By hopping over our balconies"
"Oh. I didn't think that way". We passed smiles.
We both sat on the carpet in Dylan 's room.
'... so is it you ...'
'... what? ...'
Dylan was talking through minds...
Was it even possible?
How could it be?
I concentrated on my book more, trying to push his voice out of my mind. Hopefully, it worked. When I looked at him, he was smiling but looking at his book.
It. Is. So. Weird.
"Coffee?"
"Sure"
***
"How was your dinner dear?"
"Normal. We just talked with each other and that's it"
"Good. You should go to sleep now"
"Good night"
"To you too"
I closed my eyes and dreamt about my memory of me and papa planting the apple blossom tree. He kissed my forehead, and I buried the roots of the fragile plant into the soil. He then picked up the spade and watered the plan-
"Ena. Ena. Wake up"
"Shut up", I opened an eye to see it was still night "it's not even morning yet"
"But it's really important"
"We can talk about it in the morning Ivan"
"My photos got leaked"
I tried to sit upright.
"Which ones?"
"The pool party ones. I don't know-how. I saw it on insta, a collage of my photos in the pool"
My eyes were wide open until now.
"What the-"
"Do something before anyone sees them"
"But the question is who was it? Do you know who's account is that?"
She looked like if she'd seen a ghost.
But the question still remains. Who was it?
Do you know who is it?
