Escape from Reality

Escape from reality

Mary Anne Joyce Mejia

What a silent night! I can’t even hear any noises like the breeze of the winds, the tick tock of the clock, and the whistling fan beside my bed. It’s like a different night. I grab my blanket because it’s getting colder and I decided to sleep. I closed my eyes peacefully and “Poof!”

I’m in our house and for the first time in forever my mom and dad are not arguing. That’s new! I got up and fix myself. I have to go to school early. I went downstairs to eat breakfast. “Good morning dear! How’s your sleep?” my mom asked me and that’s rare. “Uhm, it’s fine mom. Where’s dad?” I asked curiously. “He’s in the garden, relaxing and you know, coffee time,” she answered. As soon as I sit, I immediately ate my breakfast because I might be late to school.

When I’m finally done eating, our maid told me that Azrael is waiting for me outside. That’s surprising! He never fetch me at home again since the day that I’ve lied to him. My boyfriend is sweet but as for our situation now, he’s mad at me because I’ve lied when I meet up with my high school best friend and at the same time my ex lover.

“Looks like your boyfriend is back in being sweet again, huh?” mom teasingly said. “I’m quite surprise mom but I know he’s not because he’s still mad at me,” I replied. “Whatever you say dear,” mom stated. “You two are okay now?” dad asked as soon as he entered the living room. “I don’t think so dad,” I said and I kissed their cheeks. I hate it when they’re smirking when Azi and me are like this. Argh!

I got out to save myself from their nonstop questions and teasingly statements. I saw a man who’s calmly leaning in his car with a bouquet of roses in his hands, wearing his uniform that’s fit for him and his favorite shades. OMG! Why does my boyfriend have to be hot like this! I can’t take my eyes off of him that’s why I didn’t notice that he’s in front of me already.

“Hey babe, you’re drooling over your handsome boyfriend again,” he teased me and lend me a bouquet of roses. “Ew! Like duh! I’m not drooling and you’re not handsome babe! Psh. Anyway thanks babe,” and I kissed him in his cheeks. “Yaya Shane! Kindly bring these roses in my room thanks!” I exclaimed. “Okay, Miss Claire,” she smiled and leave us in our gate.

“Can we go now, princess?” he asked. Argh Azrael! Why are you like this? I didn’t know what’s happening today and it’s weird. First, my mom and dad, now, Azrael! Crap! “Hey, babe. Shall we go? We’re late,” he said. I took a glance from my watch and boom! We’re five minutes late! “Okay let’s go! I still have class and oh that’s my major subject!” I ranted. “Get in, babe,” he commanded. I got in and he started his engines.

Geez! I can’t stay long
