Chapter 1 - Stranger

These days are more like I am just passing by somehow. Things are getting complicated, fate is blank, mind is not responding and my confidence somewhere breaking and building up again and again. Peace seems like stubborn than me and I hate it so much also it hates me to its core. Sometimes I feel like I am playing some kind of game to myself where every day I am creating some problem even if does not needed though. Misery becoming my best friend every single day. 

Sipping the bittersweet coffee at corner of the library, Enola was despising her inner thoughts. How much she wants to through her life. She hates everything about her, got tired of her problems and its never ending process. At times the scenario in front of her seems blurry than another moment very clear to face all the riddles of her life. Tears are being stronger than her as its refused to come out that made her more frustrated. Her trance got broke when her phone alarm rang and she was about to go back in her thoughts when_

"Enola! This is the 6th time in one day you are here" 

She turned around only to face the misery standing in a man's spirit. OK! as if the day was already not worse she has to face a character now. 

Mr. Cruise, pain in her ass surprised her with his not so important presence, she noticed his both hands is carrying some papers and she knew things is not going to be very easy. He just stands there as he was trying to cast some spell on her so that she can vanish, well it could be beneficial for her in some way though! She decided to broke this silence. She greeted_

"Good morning Professor."

Latching a fake smile on her pale face. But it did not create that much movement in him that made Enola to sigh at her frustration. Few moments got passed at a blink of her eyes as he finally opened his mouth.

"it is past 12, Enola it's not morning anymore. Coffee is ruining your common sense I can see that."

"My bad Professor, these day times are not going along with me well. So I mistook it very naturally, perhaps."

 

" Very bad that sarcastic tone you used to talk back to your professor Ms. Sheridan. Anyways I have assigned each one of the students for some report making process and here are yours."

He just gave those bundles of paper to Enola and forced his hand back to his pocket to wore his so called sophisticate aura which is making more fool of him. Enola's eyes got widen and opened her mouth 

" As for my knowing this is not my task to do. I do not belong from the faculty you are giving assignment for."

"University is a place for nurture yourself more and accepting every challenges like opportunities. Better not to disrespect any of the respected teachers here with sharp mouth of yours Ms. Enola."

He closed the conversation and left from there, how badly she wants to smash his foolish face.

"Must be authority was over drunk to assigned you as a damn professor. Arghhhhhhh!" 

She spat, in her anger and stormed out from there

She was trying to concentrate on her unimportant yet forced assignment which is beyond her understanding but her dizziness seems to have plan for her differently. Now Enola is cursing her sleepiness and sure that, actually did take over her. 

She was running and running not caring about her surroundings. Fear was eating her but the fear is not for the dark weather and the roaring sky, fear of nature turned meaningless for her in that moment. She just wanted to go out and never turned back to face that monster like human in her life. Her face reddened as she was unable to stop her tears. She bumped and fell. Her body seems to give up also she just sat there wrenching in pain. The fat tears were blocking her vision and she feels so much wasted for even stand up anymore. She hung her head low and wished for a savior. She heard footsteps coming nearer to her she looked here and there sobbing dragging herself on the floor as the footsteps stopped and those brown eyed monster came in front of her. 

She looked at his motionless eyes, lips tugged into a smirk head tilted. She cried not knowing why he didn't harm her don't even know what he wants from her. he stands there like a statue not even smirking anymore. Her entire being got traumatize looking at him. She wants to disappear now and she mastered up her courage and got up on her feet and tried to run once more to get away from her cruel nightmare but her misfortune again got trapped in those arms from where she was running as he caught her immediately and she screamed her lungs out.

Ena! Wake up Sheridan it's nothing. Enola! Calm down just wake up!"

Enola wake up from her deep slumber with a loud thud only found herself sweating badly. All of them present in the library looked at her with their horrified reaction at her screaming. She sighed and looked at her friend Ruth was waking her up it was all a nightmare. God knows how many times she had been seen dream or more like a nightmare to her. She looked here and there and realized she finally came back to her reality. As always once again all of this becomes her memory and failed to connect the dots of her unwanted dream. Why she even had this dream every time she asked herself. 

"Library's atmosphere should be calm Enola! I would like to warn you as all of us studying here and that scream of yours must be disturbing for us" 

One of her classmates Kia, said with annoyed reaction on her face who was sitting beside Enola and put her headphones again making Enola to feel embarrassed at her own doing. She face palmed herself and was about to say sorry when Ruth pulled the headphones of Kia and stated 

" I am glad you said, otherwise I was thinking it is a place for having party Kia as I can see you are enjoying rock music on your headphones and scrolling through Instagram."

" What do you mean by that? And give me my babies back how dare you touch them?

" Look who is screaming now."

" It's okay guys, Ruth calm down. I am sorry Kia. It's just when I am having dreams I cannot control myself in real that is why"

"Why are you even saying sorry dude"

"Because she is at fault"

Both Ruth and Kia were throwing tantrums, fighting like an old married couple and the ambiance of the library was getting messier, but the concern for Enola was not to get suspended on coming in the library.

"Three of you get out from this library now, this is not a wrestling ring, that you guys are fighting for. Do not make me go harsh on you guys and let the peace be here. Leave now"

The Curator kept his calm the least he could do at this point and angrily threw the three of them out of the library.

"Why do you have to get into a fight every time you see an opportunity Ruth" Enola was angry 

" Yeah right! Just teach some manners to your friend Enola. He is lacking some" 

"OH, why so! Because I am being real, not plastic like you so it pricked on your dramatic rude ass haaaa!"

He said sarcastically. Enola rolled her eyes at his sarcasm and replied

"Are you two in love with each other somehow cause its seems like it" Enola said it bluntly with an annoyed reaction on her face. Both Ruth and Kia said in unison

"Hell no!!!"

Two were gawking at each other and Kia walked out from there

"What you think I can fall for her, have some sane dude. I do not chase mad things"

"Your dumb head can generate like this no doubt, even you know it's possible, so now move let me get out of here. Fuck this Cruise's assignment I want to smash that bitch's face so hard right now."

"Dog, you just cannot change someone's gender."

He said laughing hardly following Enola as she was practically running away from him

"By the way whom did you saw? again that haunted guy?" 

He said teasing her because about the nightmare Enola had discussed with him and obviously it became another reason for him to tease her. But Enola was lost thinking again who was he actually. Why she is having dream of him since last 2 years.

"Stranger" She mumbled but loud enough to reach Ruth's ears.

"Stranger lover!?" He raised his eyebrows mischievously then burst out in laughter making Enola to fuming in anger.

"Dude I have taken bunch of pain in my head today. Shut your mouth for god sake."

 "NO! just tell me, you again thought your dream is more like reality isn't it."

Ruth said and loudly laughed as if it was some kind of joke and Enola was fuming in anger. Ruth laughed and laughed and kept torturing her with his hilarious jokes of nothing. They strode towards the hallway and there they saw the entire hallway was chaotic. Everyone was running around here and there. Press reporters, police, and safety unit people were roaming around with visible tension on their faces. In the meantime, the entire university got crowded with students.

"Maybe a rich politician or a most wanted criminal had come."

"What made you think like that?"

"Commonsense dude otherwise why all of them would be here" 

Enola was too tired of answering back to his rubbish so she just sighed out of frustration and left from there towards the crowd. She was tired but equally curious about who was coming.
