The phone screen was lit and some group chat message poped up. It was rebeccah who sent four laughing emojis. I felt something fishy. So i opened the chat. It was group named 'Devils of Chicago' I know reading someone's personal message it totally wrong but you know curiosity killed the cat. So i began reading. I scrolled on top and began with older messages.

The last two messages were sent and received 15 minutes ago.Everything around me got blur. The voices around me became distant. How could she?! I kept the phone under the bench and kept my head down on bench. I began sobbing uncontrollably. I could not think of anything. Fortunately the bell rang.

I got up and ran outside the class like my life depended on it. I went to washroom and locked myself in and cried. A lot. After good 20 minutes of crying i went out and washed my face and took a look at myself. My eyes were red and puffy. My face looked swollen. I looked like someone has recently beaten the shit out of my face.

I walked outside keeping my head down. The school was over and everyone was heading out. My phone ringed. Emily was calling me. I ignored it. I reached the nearest bus stop and sat on an empty seat. I took out my phone to call aunt stella. There were 8 missed calls from Emily. I dialed aunt's number and puuufffff!!! My phone screen went blank. That fucking thing switched off on my face. Great just great! My day can't get shittier.

I borrowed phone from the man sitting beside me.

I told aunt stella that my phone was broken and i'm taking bus home.

Bus came after about 45 minutes. I was late home and in no mood to talk with anyone. Aunt stella saw my mood and thankfully didn't ask me anything. I decided to tell her everything tomorrow during breakfast. I cried and cried a lot whole night and eventually slept off.

I woke up feeling extremely sick and heavy head ache the following morning. I looked like a zombie when i looked myself in mirror. I showered and got ready. Today i tied my hair carelessly in messy bun. I went downstairs.

Aunt stella was nowhere to be seen. The breakfast was unprepared. Not in mood to eat anything i made myself a cup of strong coffee. I so needed that. I wonder where aunt stella is.

I went in living room to search aunt stella but she was nowhere to be seen. But something on table caught my attention.

It was a box wrapped in giftpaper. My name written card on it. What is it with me and giftboxes?!
