章 6: It's better to be the air
I woke up feeling hot. I forgot to turn the fan on as I slept thinking about that guy that bugs me for days or should I see almost two weeks. I sighed and removed my shirt revealing my naked body. I am used to stripping inside my room. I'm not bothered by anything at all cause I always lock the door and the windows.
I stood up and decided to take a bath and do my rituals before going to work. I already saved money but I'm still far from the amount of my tuition. I am planning to enroll in a university near my work. Took me a couple of over time to take an early shift and enable me to go there after my work.
I've had all my papers needed for the enrollment and I had enough money to take my first payment. Devoting my time and even day off to save money for the 'quite expensive fees'. Living alone is difficult but It felt real at least.
...
After my work shift I left early to go to the university and while conversing with the dean I could see his eyes on my body. Perverted old hag.
"Miss Cyllene, if you can't pay enough for the tuition fee today we'll I could have a warm payment from you" He smiled and smirked at me. " what do you think about that?" What do I think? oh well.
"ITs not a bad suggestion from you Sir" I said and plastered a sweet smile. I could see his delight and hunger but then I glared at him then added. " It's the worst suggestion I have heard from an educated person like you. I Thought you are but then again I'm disappointed. Thank you sir but I rather waste my life than sleep with you. I'm sorry I'm too beautiful for a mutt. Goodbye" I finished my statement with a smile and flicked my hair at his direction before turning around and leaving him dumbfounded.
I could hear his angry voice from here. The last thing I wanted to do is being abused by those perverted jerks. As I left the building while shaking my head from disappointment. I still have one choice but I can't possibly enter that prestigious school. It's not just expensive it's also meant for noble personalities and they also have slots for artists and Superstars. And unfortunately I'm not one of those people. Maybe I could try?
....
I looked up and saw the enormous and luxurious gate and decided to eat up my doubts and headed inside. There are a lot of expensive things displayed everywhere and it's like a Haven of golden people (rich personalities). After looking at the map I took a turn at the left and went to the information section. Obviously based on it's name it is a place for the school inquiry and such. Quite a couple of minutes till I reached the room.
Cream colored room and has a welcoming Aura around. Not bad. I smiled wryly as I took a couple of steps and went near the empty seat and waited till it's my turn.
"Miss?"
"Oh, coming"
.....
Walking away with a hopeful smile on my face. It is said that they accept scholars and that will only be granted to 3 students who's lucky enough. I still have a chance. Out of 150 examinees I made it till two last slots. My chance for entering the university will be 1/150 possibilities so I will probably gamble this chance.
I sighed out of satisfaction. There will be three priorities for now. Job, studies and money. I have to work to earn money then study to be one of the three students and save money incase of I won't make it on the test.
Still have a couple of hours till night time so I will just go to the public library and look for books that I can use.
.....
A week has passed and I only have two more whole weeks before the exam. Spend time at work in morning till afternoon and at night I will be at the library then I'll spend the excess of 5 hours sleep. I got used to it so it doesn't matter if I don't get to sleep for 7 hours like how it should be but if you're me, you will understand.
At work I encounter some workers who throw foul words. I don't mind, it's not like I never experienced bad mouthing. I learned from the General's Mansion that one should not trigger an erupting volcano or else you'll get hurt. So I always ended up being silent though I ended up accepting all of their words.
I watched the dark sky void of stars. It was as if it's empty yet it felt full. Sometimes when I look at the sky I somehow think of hidden treasures. It's just too dark and cold like a hidden treasure that even if you don't look at it well it is still stunning and when you open your mind you'll know that it is special. You try your best not to notice it but ends up drowning by it's magnificence.
I thought like the sky I could sometimes have someone with me like how the moon, stars
and darkness bonds at night and how the sun, light and clouds at day. But somehow, it is better to be like air. Only noticeable when you need it and when you don't. I expect that the life that I believe will be simple won't be grasped just because of one mistake. Mistake that I let them use my photos. Overnight I turned into a mystery from the magazine that is quite the hot topic. My life is going to be a mess. Waking up in the morning seeing yourself on the morning news. Disturbing. Too flashy.

MapleWrites I know! I know you think I am neglecting my duty as an author. And I'm sorry for that. I just have to review five books and I just got a week and a half to finish it. Anyway unfortunately while I was pondering for quite a while, I found that the internet was cut and I had no time to make a chapter so I will think about a mass release. I'm not busy next week so I'll probably have one. Again I am so sorry. Forgive this little one pwease!
