Chereads / My Peaceful Downfall / Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

The wind was peaceful and quiet; warm yet cold. Rooftop of our school was the only place I could clear my mind.

"Amaya, cutting at history class again?" Theo behind was smiling wide with a lunch bag on his hand. He was my friend since childhood. Sometimes he annoys me but he is the only one who likes to take care of me and the one who knows me well.

He handed me the tupperware inside of his bag. "Eat well or I'll eat you," Theo giggled when he said that pinching both of my cheeks. My face turned red then punched his face out of anger.

"Go back to class. Don't follow me, that's why your grades are always dropping idiot" I smacked his head.

He only laughs it off and opened the tupperware and I did the same. The smell of the carbonara makes my tummy rumble. This was my favorite food.

"Thanks, Theo even if you're annoying"

"Even if you like me?"

"You're sick!" I kicked him away but he really getting on my nerves. Even if I punched him or kick him he would just laugh like it never hurt. Being concern for this guy is just a waste of energy.

"Can I have some?" a cold low voice startled me. It was Wave, another friend of mine. We met him at 7th grade. My heart started racing after hearing his voice. I don't know why!

"Yeah, here. Just take whatever you like." How could he casually sit close to me then ask if he could share the same fork with me. Theo beside me cleared his throat.

"What does a star student doing here?" Theo asked sarcastically. This two doesn't always get along or maybe Theo was just being bitter to Wave.

Wave didn't bother to reply on Theo's nonsense question he just fixed his eyes on me. He was staring deep into my eyes, I'm like a vessel and he is staring at my soul. It was a concern eyes.

"Something bothering you? You're sweating, you're flustered, are you sick?" he was about to touch my forehead but I wush my hand.

"N-no-" Wave catched my wrist and locking it down to touch my forehead. He tilted his head then smiled.

"Theo, shouldn't you be taking her to the infirmary?" He sarcastically said.

Wave and Theo stared at each other like this is a staring contest. What was that tension? He removed his hand onto me and left the place.

"Moron! I'll get you when I catch you" Theo fiercely said clenching his teeth and fist then hurriedly runs to catch Wave.

"Are they really older than me? Hayst" I shook my head then continued to eat my carbonara but the way wave touched my forehead made me smile widely while eating.

The afternoon breeze alerts my skin from staying out long at this rooftop. It's getting cold so as the sun is setting down. After putting the tupperware back to it's lunch bag I heard another whisper that I thought it won't bother me anymore after that fieldtrip.

"Evelyn..." a sound whispers close to my ear. Something is haunting me but why? The whispers still on going that I can't escaped from it. I panicked while picking the lunch bag to run towards the door of the rooftop to lead me inside however, what's shocking is that after I opened the door I was in a different place.

It was not like I'm at school. The stairs were grand with red carpet with a gold line between every corner. The walls were white and mix with pink. The lights were bright and big like it was from a medieval era. I'm out of words to describe on what I'm seeing right now but I'm certain I'm in a different dimension. My heart skip a beat as the guard with an armor standing at the corner saw me.

"It is the Princess Evelyn!" The guard shouted pointing it's polearm at me. A loud thump of boots came closer from my location.

"Seize her!"

I ran towards the door but slipped and never noticed I was wearing a gown. My breathing became heavy looking at my hands down to my feet. Am I dreaming, again? The guards were now standing infront of me and I can't move from fear no—I'm petrified. Why do I feel like I did something wrong to be this so, so scared?

"Princess Evelyn of Asterine you are to be punish and never set foot of this Kingdom again"

I woke up with heavy breathing and sweat again. I looked around to make sure I literally woke up. I checked my self and I was wearing my uniform. Someone took me to the infirmary.

"Amaya, are you okay?" the low voice familiarised me who the person that brought me here. It was Wave beside me looked concern.

"How did I end up here?"

"Theo... " he stopper for a moment before continuing "He found you laying down at the staircase"

What was that? He brought me here but didn't show up? If he found me at the staircase then I'm sleep walking? I want to end this. I might go insane if I don't find out why this whisper kept calling me Evelyn and showing me a memory that doesn't belong to me.

"Wave, you're blood related to the prince of yonha right?" I asked him that made him suprised with a mix of confusion.

"I have to find out what happened at princess Evelyn"

Wave suprised me because of his laugh but cleared his throat after I glared at him.

"You need some rest, Amaya. I'm sure you turn back normal tomorrow" he patted my head then rushed to exit the infirmary before I could land my fist onto his face.

"WAVE!" I yelled.
