Us In The Parallel World

CHAPTER 3

Amara was standing in the waiting area of the bus in their school.

Amara's class for the afternoon just ended and she didn't have a clue how she would go home.

While sitting, she fiddles on her phone trying to find information for the address of her house in this parallel world.

Minutes later, she was relieved when she opened one of the emails and it has an address on it of her house.

I thought I was gonna spend my night here.

She thought.

Amara decided to take a bus.

While waiting, she saw that someone is walking towards the waiting area.

"Elijah."

She whispered.

It's him.

She don't know what to do. Should she greet him with a friendly smile? or just pretend like they were a total stranger.

Amara's heart was beating fast.

When he's a step away from her, that when Amara noticed that there's this girl following behind him.

She have a short hair and a beautiful face.

Do they two know each other?

Amara wondered.

"Elijah, can I borrow your notes just for tonight please!"

The girl have a sweet voice.

So he's still named Elijah huh.

Amara thought.

But, is she his girlfriend?

Amara saw Elijah smile at the girl dotingly, as if he would give everything the girl asked.

She felt a pain on her chest. As if she was stab with a knife.

He only smiles like that to me.

Amara just watch at the side as they continue their conversation.

She felt like years past before the bus arrived.

"Come on, Eve. The bus has arrived."

Amara was brought back to reality when he heard Elijah's voice.

Eve.

Isn't that the girl that Elijah talk about in my world?

Amara suddenly remembered.

Evette.

Elijah's high school crush.

That's when it hit her.

Amara was back in time when she and her Elijah have not yet met.

Elijah was 4 years ahead of her in school.

In her world she was yet to graduate at elementary and Elijah was already in high school.

In this parallel world, she was somehow already in highschool and also went in the same school as Elijah.

Why am I back in this time?

Amara wondered.

She knew she would have to watch Elijah having a crush on someone who isn't her. Being affectionate to other girl.

Can she really do that?

She wondered.

I did not ask for any of this!

Well I did pray to you God to let me see him once again, but not in this setting.

Amara felt like she was on some bittersweet novel.

I can't just walk my way to Elijah's life here. Not when I knew that he hold someone dear in his heart.

That night Amara stayed up the whole night. Relieving every moment with her Elijah in her world. Missing every moment they shared.
