When life has given you the best opportunity; grab it before it will fade away.....

Am I dead?

But how can I if I am still breathing?

Ughhh and my head is spinning like I have dozens of weight on me.

What the hell is going on? I mean I want to wake up again but I couldn't my willpower is about to give up and I am feeling like I don't have any clothes on. Well not that I'm naked but just in my undergarments.
And the soft mattress beneath me is caging me in its warmth. However,

Hey! Wait a second did I said naked?

Yes. It is nearly naked. But missy doesn't think about that. Think about that arm that has taken the control of your bare belly.

Huh? So that's the reason why I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach also.

Holy shit! I'm trapped.

Can you open your eyes? You are such a coward girl.

My eyes were burning so was my throat. The strong anticipation in my stomach was all gone over my aching limbs of muscles.

Suddenly, I heard a movement beside me. My breath got stuck in my throat.

'Oh god don't let it be some man beside me otherwise I'll be dead." I muttered while closing my eyes so sharply that it would create a disaster for the public. The soft rhythmic sound of breathing was now coming against where I was laying.

I don't know, but my heart suddenly started feeling cold and an enormously strange thunder engraved my whole body. It's like I'm shivering in between the thunder of storms.

Our bare arms slightly rubbed against each other. And god damn! That was the moment when I felt tingling all over myself.

Do you know? I want to open my eyes, I want to see the dark clouds with my eyes, but I'm afraid. Afraid of the outcome, and afraid of myself.

I don't remember much about last night. Not the specifics one, but I do remember how rain touched my bare shoulders, and how I felt against it. Oh, but that was not the only memory I've, the warmth of the body and the first time I felt safe, my lips were in the power of someones. My thumb unconsciously rubbed my lower lip.

My eyes went closed, and there was a scene that started fluctuating in my head. I was looking like a lost little child wearing a torn out frock, my hair was in a mess sprinkled all over my face. And I was crying...

Crying because I was leaving everything, like the worst nightmare of my life I was crying too hard for changing my life, and then I heard a voice, I heard my name get yelled,' Amanda'

Tears were started spilling through my eyes, my whole body was shaking, and my lips went numb.

"Hey, hey, wake up!" my shoulders started shaking, and I was afraid; afraid of the truth...

Slowly-slowly by drifting the motion, I opened them the world changed from darkness into light as there is hope in this world which is surrounded by light.

But really? Do people need a ray of shine or any outcome of light to have hope? Can't we have it in dark?
You know I've always heard dark is powerful than light. But what I didn't ever think was maybe they were not talking about the outside world.
Maybe it was for the inner self.

"Aghh! My head," I opened my eyes meeting the warm brown ones radiating sparks through my veins.

"You were crying?" he asked while looking lost.

But why was he looking lost? It's not like that he had lost something, or maybe he has?

You are such a bipolar bitch!

Hey! Wait for a second I was crying, aren't I? And yes I've again embarrassed myself in front of him but still, he wanted to ask me-'hey, Amanda you were crying?' such a bastard he is!

I was crying can't he see that then why there is a need to ask it?

"No, I wasn't crying, how can I? I'm not a normal human to have feelings don't you know. These are just water on my eyes." I tried to chuckle.

"Yes. You are not a baby, so get up and move your ass from my bed. Otherwise,"
I was under him; his body was over me. Though our skin was not touching, not just even by the inch. But still, it feels like we have something that is beyond the physical attraction thing.

..and I know that I'm wrong. However, he said to me to get up, but why isn't he moving In the first place?

Ahh! Darling, you are also not moving

Thank you for reminding me that I've to move. And yes, in the meanwhile time I also realized, he is shirtless while I only have my bikini on my body. Oh if that was not enough I must be looking like a tomato now with red ears.

I struggled, underneath him to get away from him only I did realize I was caged in between his arms,  in between a soft mattress and a hard chest.

"Why are not you moving?"

Such a bipolar jerk he is! He is asking me that question which I was going to ask him. Ah! Is he playing with me? Ok Alright, let's play a game.

I batted my eyelashes, "because."

"Because?" he asked sensually.

"Because you are."

"Because I'm what?" he was breathless now his cheat was now having its rhythm of ups and downs.

"Because you are such an asshole." and I kicked him in his balls.

He yelped in pain and fell hard on the hard floor. Whoops! Maybe that was not needed.

You should say sorry!

Hmm, ok fine," Cole, I'm-"

"Last night you were screaming my name and look at you now behaving like I'm not the whom you did have  s-"
I threw a pillow at his face just to shut him up.

Seriously? Did something happen to us? I mean am I the only girl on this planet who has lost her virginity and have no idea about it.

Oh my god! Not a single memory I have of it. Suddenly, I remembered the rain, me in his arms, lips against lips.

Yes. Maybe it all started with a kiss, but still, it is enough to be ashamed that I fell for a one night stand, and maybe I could never face him eye to eye because I don't remember a fucking thing and oh if that was not enough he has seen me naked full in my all glory.

You know what? My life sucks!
It is like a rollercoaster ride full of drama.

But the thing is I don't remember any touch any whisper how can I'm going to face myself.

"Look at your face. You believed that we had sex?"

He was laughing his ass off while clutching his stomach in both hands,

Oh yes. How stupid I was to ever think that. How stupid I was to fall into this trap when I seriously know that he can never have feelings for me. Oh, I said wrong.
forget about the feelings he can never even have an attraction towards me.

So what about the kiss? What about when he kissed you in the presence of thousands of droplets, and what about that time when he did the same thing when my mother announced her never-denying love for her boyfriend.

"We kissed the last night, didn't we?" words are powerful in this world and they flow with the thoughts in your body, but if you lose control of your thoughts; something like this will be going to happen.

Shit!

I was embarrassed, and yes maybe I shouldn't be what the thing in this situation to be embarrassed for? But maybe I am afraid.

"No, why would I kiss you?" and then he left.

Oh, yes. Why would he kiss me? Why would? Why the hell he would kiss me? And why the hell I asked him this stupid question. Yes. I was hallucinating, and yes I did imagine things may be more than that

It doesn't matter what my heart was saying, and it doesn't matter he was not making eye contact with me, and it doesn't matter we kissed before, because, in the end, his words have crushed all the things.

*****

The feeling of a  celebrity can give you goosebumps, and it can make you believe in the top land of the high mountain. To all the attention, and love you got has something that everyone wishes for right?

Then when I'm fidgeting myself in the hallway of the school when I have all eye's on me why I want to dig the hole in the earth to hide?

"She is a playgirl! I've seen her getting close to so many boys at yesterdays party."

"What a bitch she is!"

"Such an attention seeker!"

"Have you heard? She was trying to get in"

"Stop! Stop the fucking hell otherwise you won't want to know what will you guys face in this school."  Cole out of nowhere came and yelled to everyone in the hallway.

This is dangerous! He is not looking himself something has tensed him up. And I know what the rumours were spreading is a heartful, devastating and aching to my heart, but they are not true, and yes I needed to be the playgirl of the school, but why at this moment these things are not important to me like the way his storm bloody eyes are.

"Last night was Joseph's and maybe your-"

That was the last thing I heard when all of the students in the hallway started yelling- fight!fight!fight!

My heart was beating too fast, I'm scared of fighting it's like breaking you into millions of pieces.

Cole was throwing punches in the face of a boy which I don't remember only knows that he is in a football team of the school.

No one is trying to stop them. No one is thinking about the result, and I'm here standing still the reason for all these things can't even open my mouth to stop.

"Cole..." I whispered.

"Cole.." I tried to yell.

"Cole Maxwell!" I finally screamed like a mad person in the village.

He stopped, he stopped like the flick of motion in them and the way his eyes met with mine I shuddered in the cluster of emotions.

How can I ever get so many bundles of emotion in myself that my voice broke?

"Stop everyone otherwise you will be dismissed." Mr Bennett came stroking his long steps in his powerful aura around us.

And the whispering anthem of the school has stopped everyone heads to their classes, not that I wanted to go but what would happen I I stay here? The worst scenario of the case will happen. Right?

Did I take some steps backwards maybe I was lost in the chaos?

"Amanda Parker, Cole Maxwell and Drake Meyer come to my office now!"

***

The Principal's office was always not the best thing for me either I was a nerd or playgirl.

And a stupid girl.

"You guys know about this schools reputation right? You guys know that this isn't the random school of Manhattan, this is the most powerful school in Manhattan. And I'll not accept any type of drama in my school is that clear?"

He barked; throughout his shielded arms were moving in every direction like the way words were getting expressed.

"He punched me in my face sir. My handsome face for which girls were gone crazy and my vi-"

"Drake just shut up I don't want to hear about your personal life." Mr Bennett scolded him, and a slight creak popped up on his forehead as he was tensed.

"Cole Maxwell, you know right in your head that football match has been campaigning this year school tournament in Miami, Florida. and you are a star of our school, so don't try to get into more drama in your life! And this is my last order Maxwell otherwise you know what will happen if I swing one number of-"

"You know that won't happen we will win this school tournament." Cole's voice sounded strange to my ear. So hard, so cold and strange like he is not the one to open up here.

But what the hell is going on? And the fucking hell school tournament of football is going to be held on in Miami and my father is also in Miami. This is the golden opportunity for me to grab in and to find my--

"And Ms Parker, be in your limits I don't want a girl to forget her limits!" before I could break his neck with my hands he walked past by us.

"Stop you fucking bald old man and I'll show you how to be within your limits!" I yelled, while practically imagining him being murdered by my hands in my dreams.

"I told you to stay away from this mess but you didn't listen now see what everyone is saying about you---"
He took long steps to reach the exit gate of the room. Still giving me an auspicious feeling of the aura.

"I don't care whatever others are saying, but why do you care so much? When we are not even friends?" it was a stupid question to ask by seeing his complex nature.

"I care because deep down I know that you still care and you will never leave it," he whispered. Then he left.

***
"Attention the teammates of the football team of Cross River high this year destination has been finally finalized for the school tournament so be prepared  for the victory in Florida."

What a strange thing luck is?  Hard to find and easy to forget but it can open the doors of hope in your life and hope is the most defining thing in this world, and it can create wonders for those who have nothing to be lost in who have nothing to hold still only just a little ray of hope with a swift full pinch of luck. And I'm the that one of those hundred people in the millions of one who has the great luck of all the time.

I was trying any outcome to find a reason or any way to go to Florida to find my father, and yes God has given me the best opportunity to do so that the school tournament of football this year will be going to happen in Miami. Just only I need to find a way of getting in the school organizer team anyhow to go into Florida.
