Escaping Reality.

Chapter four

Regina's pov

I played Blues music on my phone , I plugged my earpiece to it and listened to the beautiful piano song . I smiled contentedly.

My foot seemed petrified as I recognized a boy sitting on the rail . He swayed gently as if he were about to fall into the river.

'OMG!' Is he about to kill himself? But why , Blue has always been positive about life. How could he do this to me! He is my music! Omg !

"No !!!! " I screamed as I ran towards him and dragged him down from the rail . With a loud thud he fell to the ground .

"Argh " he grunts, probably in pain . His brows formed a frown as he looked at me in anger , then it changed to confusion.

" You! How could you try to commit suicide!" I pointed at his face in anger. Oh, he looked me straight in the eye with those gorgeous eyes ... Regina focus !

" Do you know that it's a crime to commit suicide uhh ? Really, are you trying to die a criminal! " I shouted at him , releasing all my frustration on him . Well it's not my fault, I was already having a bad day and I listen to his music for comfort every day and then my idol plans to kill himself? How ridiculous!

" Ahh " he groans again, lifting his cast-covered arm as he tries to stand up.

" Who the hell are you? " Blue asked as he used his left hand to tame his blue hair and I fell silent for a moment.

" You're not a stalker , are you! " He asked again. Did he just call me that?

" Of course, I'm not " I replied in haste .

"...then are you my fan "

" N... No of course not! " I stuttered , anxiously. He raised his eyebrows, and a little smirk formed on his face.

" Alright . ISo what gives you the idea that I was trying to kill myself ? I was just sitting on the rail and looking down at the river " He said

" Oh, you weren't trying to commit suicide?" I asked, scratching my head dumbly. Blue sighed deeply as he struggled to rise to his feet. I turned slightly and found a black Bentley parked a few meters away from the bridge.

"Let me help you to your car " I said grabbing his uninjured arm .

" No it's fine" he replied and cast a cold gaze on my hand but didn't resist . So I helped him anyway. Oh, this is so exciting. Have you ever dreamt of holding your idol's hand? I smiled secretly .

" Are you taking advantage of me ? " Blue's voice interrupted my thoughts. And we stopped walking. I looked bewildered. When did my Blue become so annoying? My eyes flashed with frustration for a while . I gathered my thoughts before I regained my composure . I looked at him with an indifferent gaze.

" I'm not ! I'm not a stalker and I'm not your fan so why would I take advantage of you. " I removed my hands from his and snorted at his pettiness.

" You just can't accept other people's kindness!" I glared at him and turned to walk away when I realized we had already gotten to his car.

I heard his deep chuckle from behind me. I paused and turned around to see his happy face .

He grabbed the knob on his car door and opened it.

" Would you mind turn off the music on your phone? It contradicts everything you say " he entered his car and drove off .

What ... It took me a while to realize that my earpiece had been unplugged during my struggle to pull him down and his music had been playing audibly on my phone since then . My face reddened with embarrassment.

" Oh my God, I'm so flustered" I covered my cheeks.

It wasn't surprising that I didn't notice it since I was so engrossed in seeing a celebrity. It is actually a fact that you tend to make mistakes when you are anxious.

" Oh Regina" I thought as I tapped my head gently.

" No... no " I gasped when I saw the time on my phone. It's twelve o'clock already and I'm already late for my class. I also have a test today, and I'm already thirty minutes late.

I ran all the way home and stopped at the door. Nobody should be at home right now. I twisted the doorknob, but it refused to open. I checked my person a few times, looking for my bag, before I realized I must have dropped the bag where I was yesterday. My key was in my bag !

Darn Wendy. She must have known I would come home to pick up my book, Why would she lock the door when she knows I haven't left for school?

" What am I going to do now" I asked myself as my eyes glistened with tears . Am I going to miss this test? The answer is NO! I should find a solution.

I looked around the one story building and saw that my room window is opened and our big mango tree rooted next to it .

Tsk tsk, Who knew this tree would be helpful one day . I've always hoped that Mr Wilson would cut it down so I could see things clearer for my room. I swiftly climb up the tree . When I was little , someone thought me how to climb trees at the orphanage home . We always climb trees for fun back then .

I climbed on the thick branch that was closest to my window and jumped unto the lintel before stepping down into my room .

I didn't even wait to be steady before rushing to brush my teeth and take my writing materials. I jumped off the window lintel again after I was done and climb down .

I rushed to the school which was ten minutes walk away from the Wilson house .

Getting to Adolf university, I ran through the school hallway for a minute before getting to my class. I ignored everyone who looked at me weirdly and walked to Mrs Walker, the lecturer conducting the test. She glares at me .

" Hello, Mrs Walker . Good day "I said stiffly glancing briefly at my classmates whose attention was now turned towards me . Since I started this university, I've never talked to any of these people except my lecturers . To them I was an insignificant ugly nerd who came in through scholarship.

I'm already in my third year and I have no interest in talking to them . And they , vice versa.

" Bad day for you Regina" Mrs Walker replied. Before I could give an explanation about my lateness I heard surprised gasps from my classmates.

" Wait , is that Regina the ugly nerd . " A girl asked looking surprised and the classroom was in an uproar .

" Wow that's Regina. How did she become so beautiful"

" She's not even wearing a make up ! Gosh look at that skin "

" She's not wearing her ugly black rim glasses , she's not even covering her head with her hoodie. "

" No wonder ! She really hid her beauty well "

" Wendy, your sister is this beautiful and you didn't tell us ! "

Oh damn it ! I caused trouble again!
