Entangled Hearts

Chapter 2 -Charlotte McKenzie

Wednesday 5:00am- Charlotte's Condo

Charlotte slowly opened her eyes, stare at the ceiling for a few mins before turning on her side table to grab her phone

She checks the time ..5:05, as always,she is awaken by some sort of force,ever since what happened 2 years ago. She always opens her eyes by 5am on the dot.

At first it creeped her out but later on she got used to it, she did know why it was happening anyway

Yawning she sat up on her bed,blinked a few more times then got outta the bed and on her feet heading for her kitchen. She has a class by 8 but she already made up her mind not to go earlier on but would make it to the afternoon class instead

-Charlotte McKenzie is a 20-year-old second-year engineering student at Cavins University. She is widely known across campus—not for popularity, wealth, or notoriety—but for her exceptional intelligence. A consistent top-tier student, Charlotte maintains a perfect 5.0 GPA, making her one of the most academically outstanding students in her department.

Despite her academic reputation, Charlotte is not social. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen in groups or social gatherings. The only person she consistently interacts with is her best friend, Leah Stones.

Charlotte has a quiet and distant personality. She is often described as cold and hard to read, rarely showing emotion or engaging in unnecessary conversations. Her reserved nature makes her somewhat intimidating to others, even though she does not actively try to be.

Physically, Charlotte is strikingly beautiful. She has wolf-cut ginger hair and smooth caramel-toned skin. Her beauty is often described as effortless and captivating, drawing attention even when she tries to avoid it.

Because of her looks and her constant isolation, rumors circulate about her personal life. Some students speculate about her sexuality due to her lack of romantic involvement and her close bond with Leah. However, these remain unconfirmed rumors, especially since Leah is known to have had a boyfriend later on, which weakens those assumptions.

Charlotte originally lived with her parents in Australia before moving to the United States to pursue her studies at Cavins University.

She didn't always attend classes like she wasn't going to attend this morning too

She got to the kitchen and got a hold of the fridge and opened it

She hit her right foot against the fridge while trying to shut it. it was so sudden that she sprang immediately cuz of the pain and the bottle of water she had in her hands and had only opened seconds ago fell off and spilled all over the kitchen floor.

She frantically picked it back up but she wasn't fast enough cuz even with that the damage was still a whole lot ,the tiled floor was wet with water.

"Urggghhhh!!" she groaned softly "what a terrible way to start my morning ".

She emptied the already empty bottle in the sink and dumped the container into the trash can .

She opened the slim kitchen closet beside the fridge revealing a broom,a folded mop bucket,a mop and a few half used cleaning supplies and dry folded towels too stacked up tightly on a shelf.

She took out the mop and the mop bucket, cleaned up the kitchen and dropped back everything how they were.

"Living alone isn't so fun now huh " she said to herself well what can she say for herself,she can't stand people very much, getting into school and getting this apartment was literally her ticket to the personal space she needed but everything certainly has an advantage and disadvantage.

She stepped into the bathroom to have her shower. She got out after 10 mins, she isn't really one to take up so much time in the bathroom.

Then she remembered someone who always did, she slapped myself herself in the head then said to absolutely no one in particular "Why the heck am I thinking about her so much this morning... urggghhhh!!!".

She walked over to my wardrobe picked out a light black jogger and a simple singlet, she was staying home so she didn't bother putting on underwears.

Moving away from the wardrobe, she walked to the dressing table in her room, took out her lotion,face serum and face cream and applied, for some weird reason she always apply lotion on her body after putting on her clothes,she doesn't know why either butbit has always been that way for her.

After getting done with that she headed back to the kitchen to make breakfast for herself, finally settling with having pancakes.

She took out the pancakes from the pan and onto a plate, took out jelly from the upper shelf and a pineapple juice and placed em all on a tray then made her way to the dinning in the living room.

Her apartment isn't all that little but it was spacious enough and comfy for someone like herself.

There's the couches in the living room and a television placed in front of em, a dining table and 2 chairs by the side of the living room, then there's the kitchen just beyond it .

Her bedroom was the most private in the house, there laid her bed,her dressing table,her closet, the toilet and bathroom then a glass door on the right side of the room, almost besides the bed that made way to a little vernada.

It is her dream home where she believed to hide away from the world with.

When she was done,she took the dishes out to the kitchen to clean em up afterwards she headed back to her room.

Picked her laptop from her dressing table and sat on her bed with it,she opened her laptop and started coding.

As a software engineering student something she usually used to pass her time and she actually enjoyed doing was coding, she is a gamer too but she doesn't enjoy gaming as she does coding. She always felt relieved and focused while coding more than she does while doing any other thing.

After an hour and 30 mins she finally dropped her laptop back on the table and went back to bed.

--11:30 am--

Yawning she stood up and went to the bathroom to ease herself, she came back out and picked another outfit. This time it's a black baggy denim jean, a white tube and a plaid shirt,she also picked out a pair of white sneakers and a pair of black socks to go with it from her wardrobe.

Now done with that she moved back to her dressing table to pick out her jewelleries.. another thing she loved alot were jewelleries she never played with them. She picked out a few chain bracelets,a chains for her Jean,a double necklace a few stud earrings for her double ear piercings then a few rings too, while putting em on her eyes swiftly glanced at the one thing she never seemed able to get rid of no matter how hard she tried..... the ring she gave her.

There it was ...the awful feeling called nostalgia,still staring at the ring she muttered tre words " I miss you so much".

Figuring she was always running late she wrapped it up, picked up her cross bag and took a last look in the mirror,she ran her hair through her wolf cut picked up her bike keys and left the house.

When she mounted her bike she phone dinged, someone texted her on w******p,her friend Leah "Yoo u coming today haven't seen u all day BTW heard a transfer student is coming in heard she's hot too girl get Ur ass here

She put her phone back into her pocket put on her helmet and zoomed off
