"You got to take good care of yourself and take all your meds Dad, I worry enough about med school, Don't make me worry about you too" Kenzie told her Dad over the phone clearly worried.

"I Know right, we'll come over during the weekend, I promise this time"---

"I've got plans" Hareej announced immediately.

Ohh well we're definitely flopping that promise.

Kenzie glared at her.

"Internship has been hell as it is" she sighed "Yeah alright, bye Dad" she ended the call

"The food has gone cold already" Hareej whined. Apparently, we waited for Kenzie to end the call before we ate.

"Sorry" she apologized "No need to whine though, the call practically lasted three minutes" she smiled sheepishly.

"Why are we having a feast though" I asked, seeing as the table is filled with palatable dishes.

"I've not had a proper meal for a while, you guys too" She shrugged.

"Aww isn't Kenzie the best? Thanks for the meal" Hareej chirped and dug in.

Kenzie and I join in as well.

"How's Dad" Hareej asked

He has cancer of the lungs, which was detected at the earliest stage and he just underwent a surgery

"He's alright. Infact he'll be discharged soon"

"That's good news" Hareej exclaimed

"He said to visit,so this weekend should work right?--- Hey, Hareej what do you mean by you got plans" Kenzie suddenly asked.

"Huh... I'm going on a camping trip with friends. It's on Saturday I mentioned it to you before" Hareej pointed out.

"you did ?"

"Aargh... you really are forgetful" Hareej teased

"That's rich, coming from you Hareej" Kenzie argued.

I've got plans for the weekend also" I announced.

"What plans? " Kenzie gave me a weird look

"Well, just important plans" I shrugged

"That sucks, I'll be going alone then, this is the only free weekend I get, till who knows when" Kenzie pouts

"Sorry" Hareej sympathized with her

We cleared the table and left for our room.

I took of my shirt and observed my bruises, the wound on my arm is now split open due to the effect of last night's fight. I rub some ointment on it so it doesn't scar. Reminiscing the feeling of pain I felt when I got beat up. I smirked at the thought. I deserve the pain.

Joining 21 club was a great decision.

                               ✰✰✰

"Hey Mãe" CJ caught up with me as I walked into the classroom.

What's with the familiarity. I frowned.

"I still find it funny" He giggled ---"You were assumed to be mute,It's understandable,I mean you don't actually talk a lot, but still, it's not fair to just assume that" He rambled quite annoyed.

We were now seated. I just stared at him. Noticing his pale features and his eyes. Damn! They're the coolest shade of blue I've ever seen.

He cleared his throat

I didn't realize I've been staring for a while.

The professor came in right at that moment.

Phew!!

"A pen please?" CJ whispered to me

I was just going to stare again, but that'll be awkward

"I've got none to spare" I whispered back

He looked quite taken aback by my reply. He definitely wasn't expecting one.

I left the room immediately the lecture ended. I have history next, but I head to the library instead. Surprisingly, I'm always able to take a nap there. The only bit of shut eye I get.

A loud noise woke me up. Someone was dragging a seat noisily.

It's a freaking library!!

"Whoever that is, keep the noise down" The librarian called.

I looked over to see a guy with a hoodie on, that covers most of his face. He stopped with the noise already. I figured he's the same guy I meet here everytime. He's never here to study as well.

He stood up abruptly to leave and bump into my seat as he was not looking, he held on to my chair, making me fall to the floor. I looked up to see him leaving already.

WTH!!

" Watch it jerk" I cussed loudly so he could hear.

He looked back at me for a few seconds, letting me see his face completely. My eyes widened at the sight

So many scars!!
