🎶 I feel as if I'm falling, deeper and deeper, into a sad, dark place...that never ends 🎶

Remember the time when you were about to spend your last year in school but that didn't concern you but the excess pressure and insecurity and anxiety was killing you from inside? That was such a time, right?

Oh! But how is this related to my situation? Now I feel that, maybe those pain were far better... atleast I would have that hope that "just this year and everything will be fine, nothing lasts long... I'll be fine" but no, the universe doesn't want me happy, it seems like I've been enough happy in the life

Myself Erin.Erin Meldrew. David Meldrew , the famous cardiologist's only daughter. But that wasn't the real fact, I was his daughter but... only for the world.

The world is full of beauty as well as cruelty and that's what I got to know when I opened those red-coloured lenses, separating from my loved once and being pushed in the hell, mercilessly.

"Hello everyone! This is Mishika Ray. Today I'm going to present our experiment based on nuclear energy" I said, politely in front of the mirror, trying to be calm as I practice my speech.

"Mishi, breakfast is ready! Come fast, you are going to be late for school" My mom called from downstairs.

"Coming mom" I rushed downstairs, washed my hands and started eating.

"Are you ready with the speech?" My dad asked.

"Yes dad! See, everyone will say that Mr Dipak Ray's daughter had given the best speech ever!" I said, proudly.

"We know that and we are proud of you, dear" Dipak said as his loving wife Dipashree smiled.

"Ok bye, I'm gonna be late today" I said and rushed outside.

I was walking on the road when suddenly a car came and stopped in front of me.

"Hey beautiful, want a lift? I know the way to the heaven"

I didn't even cared to look at that flirty, unknown guy and  simply ignored him. God knows why these guys don't have any work other than picking on girls.

I was about to go but that jerk came out and held my hand.

"Leave my hand, you pervert!" I yelled without turning back.

"Are you sure you aren't gonna regret? I bet we promised that I won't leave your hand forever" I heard him chuckle

I turned back at the speed of light.

"Mark?!" I shouted.

"Yup!" he laughed.

"Hoi! New car?" I asked with excitement

"Yes"

"What about the red one?"

"That's also in my house. I recently brought this black. It's a rare piece...like you" he whispered.

"Dude, I think I seriously have to rob you someday" we both laughed at this.

"Let's go now. Hop on" he said and we went to school and I gave my speech As usual, everyone was pleased by my performance.  It's not necessary to say that I'm every teacher's favourite.

Mark isn't by best friend, not a good friend. Nor he is my cousin or a distant nosy aunt's son— he is boyfriend~ hush, I know he is handsome but you don't have to be jealous of him.
He is a mix breed creature, with a German mom and Indian dad so yeah.

"Mishi, are you free tonight?" Mark asked sitting beside me.

"No yaar. I have to complete the biology assignment then I've tutions, after that maths and then physics numerical. I'm too busy, sorry " I replied with a sigh

"Then tomorrow?"

"No, too much work is left" I gave a sad smile.

"Then when you are free?" He asked with an irritation.

"Nest month...no no, next year, final! I smiled.

"Are you serious?"

"I think I'll be busy next year too but I will definitely find 1 hour for you" I winked.

"You—!!" He shouted as I laughed.

"Sorry sorry, I was just kidding" I laughed.

"You're so evil, we didn't even get time to spend with each other properly and you still have the mood to make jokes"

"Aww, iS mOi BaBy AnGrY?" I teased as he made a pout.

"No cliché! It's a library! Study if you want or go out!!" The librarian shouted.

"Mam, first you need to calm down" Mark said as we laughed.

"Enough! Get out of the library!" She shouted as we ran outside.

"The pretty fat lady is coming. She will definitely crush me with her hug" Mark laughed as we ran away.

The class ended and it was fun as usual.

"Let me drop you home" Mark suggested.

"No! What will the neighbours say? I can go by myself, you flirty rich boy!" I laughed.

"It feels so weird. Whatever, it's already dark. "

"Off- you don't have to worry about me"

"It's not good for you to go alone from that isolated path" he said with a tensed tone.

"My parents will be angry to see you. Try to understand, I can go by myself" I smiled.
