Today was supposed to be the Senior's trip and I slept late last night just for me to prepare my luggage and this moment, I'm catching my breath running for the bus. I hope they spared some time waiting for my arrival.
Glancing at my wrist watch, time is not on my side. I'm late! Why does this school have a long hallway to run into?
I wrapped my jacket around me tightly, it's a cloudy today but I feel colder than usual.
"Ah there you are Lulu!" Avery waved her arms at the air for me from afar and helped me carrying my bags when I arrived. "What took you so long? We are all waiting for you, Good thing the principal is in a good mood today" 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABVxy63Zl8

I held my knees as I catch my breath. My sweats should've been soaked me right now if it wasn't for the cold weather. "I...I'm sorry" I apologized still panthing.
"Guess who decided to show up" a voice that sent shivers to my spine inserted and I can hear my classmates especially the girls giggle.
I lowered my head to bow "I'm sorry to cause such trouble, I---" before I could finish my sentence, she cut me off as if I was nothing but a mere trash.
"Let's all go now" our principal said and boarded the bus for her.
I guess she's still mad at me because I accidentally poured my yogurt all over her during enrollment in front of school investors.
"Come on Lulu, it's our turn to board on the bus" said Avery and I just nodded as an answer then sighed. Could this day get any worse?
We had our seat alphabetically, I sat on the seat near the window and thank heavens Avery is just positioned in front of me. She looked back at me and waved her hands before putting on her seatbelt and I did the same to mine.
I leaned my head unto the bus glass window. Man, I feel so tired. Pulling out my earphones for some music, our bus is escaping from the busy city shifting the view from commercialized buildings to green grasses and trees of the countryside.
There's happiness in my heart while escaping the metropolis for a short moment. My eyelids got heavier watching the view from my window and before I realized it, with beautiful view before my eye and sweet music I fell asleep with a smile across my lips.
What could be this trip bring if it reaches its destination?541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0pnXgDfRW
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eOCsyr7cY
Something is in my cheeks that made me open my eyes from sleep. It was Avery's forefinger poking my cheeks.
"Wake up sleepybaby nom nom hmmm..." She was pouting and her lips leaned closer to mine as if she is kissing me "Mama will kiss you hmmm"
What the--- she really intends to kiss me!
I feel a little drowsy but I manage to reach for my shoe and hit her forehead just a few centimeters till her lips arrive at its wrongful destination and a violent scream echoed the whole bus.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRa1HDc4Kn

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFq7DAeVU6
"Why do you have to hit me like that?" She said sobbing then rub her poor forehead with my shoe mark left. We are now proceeding to the hotel that we are staying at. Our schoolmates are staring at Avery who looked like a kid who was hit by her mother for being naughty.
I faced her with an awkward smile "I just felt I need to do it to stop your nonsense" frankly, I don't really regret it, who wouldn't freak out seeing that view when you just woke up? But at least she deserves an apology "I'm sorry for hitting you, Avery"
I heard her whine "I accept your apology but it still hurts!"
I sighed.
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTn64EztK4
"Students, settle down. " the principal spoke in the middle of the Hotel lobby shifting all the people's attention to her
"This Senior's field trip is intended to you 11th and 12th grades, the main purpose of this activity is for you to freshen up for this school's semester. I know it's stressful that is why we planned this event. Now, I want you all to proceed to the rooms designated to you. Let's call this a day, tomorrow we will have a formal buffet to start this year's Senior's trip. Enjoy your stay" our principal smiled at the end of her statement. As soon as she finished, students scattered in the hotel lobby to everywhere.
So far this event gave me the stress and the healthy dark circles underneath my eyes contrary to its primary purpose.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1PD50nAlP
Avery excused herself to went somewhere else earlier. I will just go to my room alone, it is at the 7th floor of this huge building. The school must have been rented the whole hotel or this is from a rich student's family accommodation.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjIqC08w9F

Wherever my eye sight are set, everything is so fancy. Now awkwardness, consciousness and out of place sensations crawled to my senses. I'm not used to these kind of place or people. Every detail is royal-like.
I just bowed my head as I walk towards my room. As soon as I get there, the better it is for my life, maybe that will cause me less trouble.
At last, I reached for the doorknob and twist to open it but before I could step foot a scream made me turned back then close the door quickly. "I-I'm sorry!" then I walked quickly as I can.
"Hey! Stop ruining other people's privacy!" The original owner of the room shouted. Geez! I opened a wrong door.
I proceeded to the door next to it and opened. This time I am certain that this is the one designated for me. I locked the door leaned my back to it, dropping my luggage on the floor nervously. "That was embrassing" Aaah! I just want to slam my head right now.
"Maybe a rest will make things easier for me" I said to myself and dropped my body to the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling "This is going to be a long event Luna" I sighed.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckf1Di38ZE
The next morning, we students prepared for the formal buffet. I'm at doubt if I'm going to attend because I know I will just feel out of place but Avery, as she will ever will, insisted me.
I was enjoying the bright sunshine and subtle chirping of birds, silently reading my favorite book early in the morning when she threatened me that she'll break the door open if I will not let her in.
Now I feel like being hostage in my own room.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xtUgmtRI2

"Is this really neccessary?" I said with my face squished with her hand that made my lips pout as she apply some lipstick on me.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1fTjHqgHB
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSgKTv5Igu
I don't get it why do we need to have some make-up if we're just having lunch.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv3vDF730w
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgSAbnhwl
"Hold still" she complained and pushed the lipstick harder in my lips. This will be the cause of my death. "You're all set now, look at you my dear Lulu! Such magic have turned you into a fair maiden" Avery giggled. I wish I didn't heard that giggle. She even tied my hair up.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8PPeTheBM
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e44sxcmw5
She handed me a mirror to see my face and upon seeing my reflection, I frowned. "What happened to my cheeks?! I look swollen Avery" 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2qbBaODo8
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8be79n80Ee
She laughed loudly "It suits you, you look pale all the time so tadah! I made you a princess" She looks prouder than ever. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYLDNsYr21

This dress exposes my shoulders and collarbone, It gives me the feel like I'm wearing a towel but a heavy and itchy one. This was Avery's spare dress, I brought with me my long yellow dress when I was in Junior High but she made me wear this.
It's an ash-gray off shoulder cocktail dress, from the top it is ash gray colored but the color starts softly to darken until black in the end. It has minimal blue and purple details and lace.
Avery looks stunning too, her fit and flare purple dress complements her figure. My eyes can't stare much long because of the rhinestone details on her dress that shimmers brightly.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bVdleI63m

"You go on first, I'll catch up with you afterwards" I said then grabbed my book. I'm planning to stay here until the said lunch is finish, I can survive with some biscuits I packed from the patisserie all day. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dThplLkKY
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrOeE317dG
"Nuh-uh Lulu, we are going in that buffet together, Now off we go!" Then she pulled me out of my room without any warning, I almost fell down because of the heels.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLroD4FOkXP
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FSLmn2edc
While walking down to the lobby to the venue, I really feel more awkward than yesterday. Avery is clinging to my arm so I did the same but tighter as if we are going in a haunted house.
A staff opened the glass door for us to enter. As expected, everything looks extravagant. Impractical for a simple "lunch", I must say. The idea that this is definitely not Aunt Quer's patisserie anymore makes me shiver.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMeJWYe8M9
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKR0rwE2Vn
"Hey Lulu, I'm gonna go there at the backstage. Let's see each other after the event." By the time Avery said those words my fragile world shattered into countless pieces then it stabbed my heart.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWaexa06xD
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXdKkKfE8P
My head is screaming 'NO!' as for my heart, it is panicking as hell, pounding almost escaping from its place.
I held her hand but she just waved goodbye "Wait- Avery! Stop---" I just gave up and sighed and there she goes. Avery was in the organizing committee as the stage manager, they could've hired a person for that but grand entrances as well as dramatic exits happened to be Avery's thing.
Luna, you're an alone stray cat again.
Regrets and anxiousness are all over me. I should've stayed in my room. The people seem to be having fun, the venue is full of rustles and chatters literally everywhere.
What should I do now? 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ57MCNoJo
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5zeBSsXcn
Luna think quickly! You're melting already.
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI7B26c5JV
Maybe I could go back to my room and I will just make white lies to Avery. Yes! That's it. This place could kill me inside if I stay any longer.
I was heading towards the door where we entered earlier when the staff blocked my way "You're no longer allowed to go out of the venue Madam" he said.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxn2vBCGqf
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oA84x74LS
"I-I just left my wallet in my room." I lied "I'll just get it, besides, who wants to miss this beautiful event?" Definitely me, I wanna get out for crying out loud.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2x6GYmfCV
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9kCqbhIqc
He raised his right eyebrow at me and I just smiled, awkwardly. "Pretty please?"541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVJ3WvWcAp
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Nf33Krix
"No" he said firmly. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZiVFx1xSJ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF58TwrqLeR
I was about to utter a word but it will cause a scene so I just gave up and went to a corner with disappointment printed on me face.
Lonely I stood there like how a proper trashcan all over the world stand. Oh how I wish this event will be over in a snap.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YOTKE4T69
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbah84aKWc
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen. The buffet will start in five minutes, So I suggest you better all off in your tables" the emcee spoke.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLWjJmIZlV
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKI1lLqNfX
Shoot! I need to find a table. With all my courage left, I roamed around for a table to sit with but lady luck cursed me badly today that I didn't find any.
Moments later, I found an empty chair next to a girl. Finally, my feet is about to crumble with all these walking.
Just when I was about to have my sit when the girl spoke "Oh sorry sweetie but this seat is already reserved for my boyfriend" she even smiled sarcastically at me.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvyRbXVRSD
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy1Y9LZyjh
"Sorry I'll be---"541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6JSQ3P6YA
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVuQh1wYMT
"Babe, is everything alright?" I turned around to see who is it.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPCPLycYaD
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Y5l8QtIY
"Yes babe, what took you so long?" Turns out it was her 'boyfriend'. Moving along, I was about to walk away when a hand held my arm. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fzAXsBwTC
It was the boy's hand, what on earth? "Oh miss, don't you have a seat? Please sit down. I'll be on the other---"541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL0aLlbjJr
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHR9G3viLY
"NO BABE!" The girl suddenly screamed catching other people's attention, realizing her sudden attitude she smiled then spoke again sweetly "She's fine, please, don't mind her. She already got her seat"541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsEcAMb6uX
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzAm5nlCHv
Her boyfriend looked at me "You sure about that?"541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK6HeE7i0X
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74dnLdIUBd
Removing his grip on my arms, I step backwards "If you'll excuse me, I was just passing by for the comfort room hehe bye" quickly I ran almost falling down because of the heels and went to a nearby CR. I locked my troublesome self inside a cubicle.
I took a deep breath.
The buffet must be starting by now already. So, to save my life and soul, I'll just stay put until it is finish. That wouldn't be such a bad idea.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR10aUynZoy
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPvzodZCNh
The smell of comfort room lingers in me.I've been here inside this cubicle for almost an hour. I can hear my inner self sobbing, really.
I sniff myself, yup I smell like a fresh scented toilet. It will also take almost an hour to take this smell away from me.
This should be enough time already. I unlocked the cubicle and before going out of the open freedom, I peeked a little to see who's outside then slowly went out of the comfort room to the venue as if I'm a new born toilet.
Locking yourself in a cubicle wouldn't be such a bad idea after all "Thank goodness, I can now---"541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e9UGSTGiD
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcecmgZl6o
"Now it's time for the open dance!" The emcee said in glee and everyone in the room clapped and cheered and the middle part of the venue was occupied541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nSxexqnqW
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C4CkroSze
WHAT?! There's still a dance?! I thought it will just be eating and go home??
If I can just pass out here, I will.
I returned to my safe haven, and by safe haven I mean by standing like a proper trashcan at the dark corner for the second time.
Oh I almost forgot! I brought Saudade with me. Chrono you're such a life saver! Maybe I could read here until this is ended.
With a smile finally formed in my lips since I first got here, I opened my favourite book then realized I have to move the book closely to my face, like almost an inch close just for me to read it.
I forgot my glasses.
That's no big deal as long as I'm out of danger zone, I can and I will read this. Besides, I'm almost at the story's ending, again.
A hand of mine held my chest containing my heart and I closed my eyes.
Please make Chrono Xiun exist even just for now. Let me be with the fictional character that I long for. I know it's impossible and absurd but how can you blame me? If my heart belongs to a man who doesn't breath the same air as mine? 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP03mKYvziw

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3I5wHV7Xi
I slowly opened my eyes, beads of sweat are starting to form in my forehead but most importantly, my heart... It's racing rapidly that I'm about to be deaf of its sounds pounding. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFkv25OvSL
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NNOBjAlLO
