'Have we met before?'
Celestia
It has been a week already since I found out about my pregnancy. Aaliyah was very supportive and I thank the heavens for that. I don't know what i'm gonna do without her.
I'm an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage here in Deltas. Mother Merlyn was the person who took care of me. I grew up with her and i'm thankful for that. I'm planning to visit her soon but i'm still scared of telling her about my pregnancy.
"Celestia.. C'mon! We're gonna be late." I heard Aaliyah's voice outside my room which made me knock on my senses.
I gathered my things and stood up. I look at the big mirror infront of me. I saw a girl with a pitch black hair. Red plump lips. Not so tall and has a fair skin wearing her uniform. I saw an average beauty.
I took a deep breathe and opened my door. I was welcomed with Aaliyah's face.
"Hey," I tried to smile at her. She was looking at worriedly.
"Are you okay?"
I took a deep breathe and force a smile. I nodded at her.
"C'mon? We're getting late right?" I said and handed my hands to her.
We got to our school at nine-twenty in the morning. Thankfully. Because nine-thirty is the start of our classes.
We bid our goodbyes at each other for a while since we were taking different courses.
I entered our room silently and looked around. Everyone was busy. Some looked at me and waved their hands so I just smiled.
My friend Arthur. Which he prefers to be called Aura since... You know? He's gay. I accept him still.
"Beauty! You're here now, you look sick?" He said. I just smiled at him and sat on my chair.
"I'm fine Arthur. Just a mild headache." I said to him but his eyes were all out like his eyeballs were gonna poke out.
"Omygee! It's Aura not Arthur! That name gives me shiver Celestia!" He looked like he was gonna puke so I laugh.
"I'm sorry Aura. I forgot," I playfully winked at him.
He just tapped my shoulders and sat beside me.
"Well... Forgiven. But care to tell me what happened last week? I almost died with nervousness because I thought you were kidn*pped or something!" He was talking about what happened to me at the bar last week. Which is ofcourse. A one night stand and now i'm pregnant.
Stupidity.
"I... I wasn't feeling well so I just came back home and didn't bother telling you Aura. I'm sorry." I apologetically said to him and he just looked at me and nodded.
"Okay! Since our professor is gonna come here anytime soon let's just not talk and review our notes." He said and we both happily reviewed some of our notes for the upcoming examination week. This kinda help me a lot to not think about what's happening to my life right now.
Not so long after, our prof came and started our discussion.
The whole duration of our class went smooth. Thankfully, the thoughts about the silver eyed guy and my pregnancy didn't enter my mind.
"So before I end our discussion. I would like everyone to know about the upcoming Ball of our academy.."
Everyone cheered and I just smiled while Arthur or should I say Aura was very ecstatic thinking about some handsome guys that will be attending the said ball.
"Okay class! Calm down." Our prof said which made some of my classmate just silently glee while some was just too excited to even follow our prof's order.
"Okay.. So the upcoming ball is gonna be an important one since the Silvestre brothers are coming over as to what their grandfather has requested." The girls in our class cheered ehile talking about how attractive and handsome are the Silvestre's. Well I think so too. Their grandfather looks like he doesn't age. He is still very youthful and handsome so I think no doubt his grandchildren are also the same.
"Okay class! Calm down okay?! So as to what I have said, the Silvestre's are coming here for a visit and maybe stay here for a little longer. So I do hope you'll behave. Our motif for the ball is a masquerade one. So I think you guys already know the rule? By the way, let us all proceed to the gymnasium to welcome them." huh? The class cheered. Oh? They're here already? Aura beside me was like dying. He was even shaking my hands.
We all made our way towards the gymnasium and i'm currently with Aura.
"Omygee girl! Did you know that Acid and Phoenix are like a walking demigod?" I was just nodding my head eventhough I don't have any idea what he is talking about. Geez
We were halfway towards the gymnasium when I remembered my notepad. Sht! I left it inside our room!
"Aura, I need to go back to our room. I left my notepad!" I said to him hurriedly.
"Oh? Can't you just go get it after the welcoming?" He said. No. I'm not a fan of leaving my things, it makes me feel anxious.
"Just reserve a seat for me okay? I really need to go get it. I'll be fast, promise." I said to him and he didn't have a choice but to nod his head.
I hurried run towards our classroom and entered the room. I saw my notepad on my desk. Thankgod!
I hurried slid it inside my bag and run outside our room.
I was halfway onto running towards the gymnasium when my phone slipped into my hands.
I bowed my head to the ground to get my phone when I notice a pair of hands holding my phone and a pair of shiny black shoes.
I slowly moved my head up to see the man and...
A pair of silver eyes welcomed my pitch black eyes..
I was at awe.. Is.. Is he the guy? He seems so familliar.
Omygosh! He is! I shivered.
"Miss? Are you okay?" His voice was so cold that it made me remembered his dry and cold moans that night. My throat went dry.
He tilted his head.
Oh!
"I- I'm sorry. Ahm thankyou for getting my phone but I need to go now." I said to him and grabbed my phone away from his hands.
He was just intently looking at me. Af if he was trying to remember something. Oh please don't recognize me.
My lips trembled and I hurriedly walked pass by him when his strong veiny hands stopped me from walking away.
"Stop right there..." I felt like every fiber of my being trembled at his cold menacing voice.
"M- mister? I... I need to go now." I said but he kind of force me to face him.
"You're very familliar... Tell me? Have we met before?"
No!
