40YRS AGO FOR AETHER'S TIMELINE
LAYLA'S POV:-
I looked at the empty road in front of me with slightly tired eyes since this month has been really tough for me.
Standing in front of the bus, I was waiting for my bestie. He is your calmest kid, sharpest nerd and the most mature one among kids of his age. Perhaps even more than some adults. I look at the bright sun above my head as I block the incoming sun rays with my hands to protect myself from the burn. Then I observed him walking slowly towards me while reading a thick book in which he was totally engrossed.
'Damn it. Look at him being nerdy even though we are going on a trip,' I think as I glare at him. The more I look at him, the more goosebumps I get over my body as I try my best to compose myself.
He then looks at me and then corrects his glasses with his other hand and waves at me as a smile forms on his face.
