Submission novel Chapter 15

It was Liza who always woke me up but today my sleepless eyes stayed awake. Liza was sleeping beside me, cocooned in the covers. Her blond hair slightly falling across her forehead, covering her puffy eyes. I softly skimmed my hand on her head and kissed her on the cheek.

The events which transpired left me exhausted. I was tired but still, I could not close my eyes. It was quite a shock to me when Liza told me about her past. Considering the fact that we never dug deep into each other's past, it was really something.

Liza still does not know about my past and it would have been cruel of me if I tried to take away her pain by burdening my pain on her. Moreover, I never want her crying for me. I never want anyone to cry for me. A little piece of sympathy can never heal anything.

It's strange how both of our pasts are totally different from each other. It is an exact alternative.

They say negative poles attract each other.

I set down the plate of pancakes with blueberry syrup and went upstairs to wake her up.

"Liza! Wake up! We are fucking late for school! Get your lazy ass up!"

"Five minutes more please!"

"Oh hell no! You get up now Missy!"

With that warning, she was kicked out of her bed by none other than her best friend and her world Rose.

"Come on Rose! It's Tuesday! We can skip school...."

"Oh really? Do you plan on skipping school again? Because I will not let you. So get up, get ready, and let us get going because we are already late."

She smiled at how I impersonated her way of waking me up every morning. There were tears in her eyes, happy tears.

Driving our way to school I noticed that there was fresh snow everywhere and it looked like the storm had done wonders in hiding all the warm green vegetation.

The parking lot was swarmed with kids and a black Mercedes stood out the most. Seems like wherever I go I see a black sleek Mercedes car.

I got out of the car and so did Liza. I was actually quite happy when I saw that Max came over to her and gave her a hug which Liza returned with equal love.

Max nodded his head to me and I waved back at him. I walked away giving them both a little space.
