Winter has finally ended and spring was fast approaching. Flowers' were halfway opened, the birds were all flying in the bright blue sky shining above.
A girl was busy under the tree whilst she sketched the surrounding people. She was so into it, that she did not notice the time at all. Then suddenly, her phone started ringing.
"Bloody h*ll where are you?" A loud angry voice screamed at her as she picked up the phone.
"Jackie, wassup?" She answered calmly as she continued to sketch and connected her headset to answer the call.
"Don't wassup me? Have you forgotten your promise b*tch…"
"Is that the way you should be talking to me?" She replied with a smirk smile all over her face.
"Whatever, where are you anyway. You promise to help me review for the finals. I've been standing outside the library for almost half an hour. You know how important this is to me."
"I know… I know… Stop with all the sad story, I'll be there soon, save me a seat."
As she ended the call and put away her things back inside her bag, she looked around and thought to herself. 'Gosh, everything will soon end.'
...
When the girl arrived at the library. She notices her best friend Jackie covered with a pile of books on the table. The girl looked so worn out and exhausted as if she was about to go crazy.
As Jackie notice the silhouette of the girl approaching her, all her exhaustion soon faded away. She felt like a beam of bright light was walking towards her. "An angel has come to get me."
"Stop exaggerating… Come on let me see what you need help with."
Jackie passed all the books and notes to the girl.
She then started scanning through the notes and books, then asked for a spare clear notebook to write on.
As Jackie observed, her best friend started writing notes down, she soon drifted off to sleep.
An hour or so passed by.
The girl handed the notes she worked on to Jackie. But instead of handing it nicely to her, she hit Jackie on the head to wake her up.
It startled Jackie and caused her to jumped out of her chair.
Everyone near them notices what happened. They tried hard not to laugh and avoid making things worse for her since they were in the library.
"Here…"
The girl said as she passed the notes back to her again.
Jackie read through the notes and was total impress with them. It was much clearer than reading her teacher's notes and books. "Babes you're the best, this is even better than the teacher's notes."
Then suddenly a group of high school students entered the library as they were being toured around by the other students.
"This is the main library. It's 2nd in the world for being the biggest library. It holds more than millions of books."
As the student pass through Jackie could not help it and said; "Out of those students how many do you think will be able to enter the school. Unlike me who got lucky because of family connection."
"Everyone is not like you.." She sigh and added as she grabs her things. "Anyways, I need to go…"
"Where are you going?" Jackie asked
"It's Bro Jay's birthday today, I'm going now…" She answered, whilst packing her stuff away.
"Will you tell him the truth tonight?" Jackie asked with such a concern look on her face.
The girl did not say a word but just head to the doors.
Jackie looked at the girl's back as she soon disappears out of her sight. She then said; "She is so bright yet foolish when it comes to him…"
...
Later that evening
The girl was smiling as she carried the cake and wine in her hand. She was so excited to celebrate the man she likes birthday. The fact she has been liking him for almost a year and known each other for quite sometimes just brought a smile on her face.
She soon started reminiscing the moment when they first meet each other. At a hotel event when she was asked by one of her friends to replace her as the pianist for the event.
As she approached the room, she notices that it was already open. However, the lights were all turned off. She calmed herself as she entered the room and prepared for the worst. She steps inside the apartment and notices nothing seems to be missing at all.
Suddenly, she soon heard a weird noise inside the bedroom. She quietly opened the room and saw the man she like being intimate with another woman. Because of the sudden shocked, she drops the cake and wine she brought and alerted the intimate couple in bed.
"I'm sorry, the door was opened and I thought something happened. Anyway, Mr. Chen happy birthday," She said as she turned around and walked out of the room.
"Liz wait…" the man said as he grabs the blanket around him and rushed to her. "Let me explain?"
"Mr. Chen you don't need to explain anything, it's my fault for just trespass in your home." She explained as she bowed and apologize for her mistake.
"Jay who is she?"
The woman spoke as she walked out of the room wearing Jay's shirt.
The girl looked at the woman wearing Jay's shirt and recognized who she was. She then bowed to her and apologize as well. " Miss Yang please forgive me for intruding all of a sudden."
Both of them were surprised to know that the girl knew her.
"You know her?"
"Miss Yang is currently one of China's rising models. She was one of the models during the Oriental Fashion show in America wearing Olivia's design."
"I see… Never thought I'll be famous here in England as well." The girl smiled as she grabs hold of the man's arm.
"Anyways, Mr. Chen and Ms. Yang. Sorry again for disturbing you and happy birthday again Mr. Chen."
The girl walked out of the apartment with a pale complexion on her face and a broken heart. She did not let a single drop of tear fall as she walked out of the building.
'You foolish girl, why did you let yourself become like this when you already knew from the start.'
As the cold wind blew that spring night, the girl vanished into the shadows.
