Vivica, a simple but not-so ordinary girl doesn't know about her powers and the great reason for which she is born. She always finds her life boring and mundane. So what happens when she's thrown into a rollercoaster of events that'll not only overw...
Hey guys............... so finally I've decided to write something. I don't know how it'll come out but I just hope you'll all give a chance to this book.... Thank you for stopping by this book and giving it a chance. It means a lot and if you have any suggestion then kindly let me know. You can message me personally. I'll really appreciate it. So without further ado, let's get on with the story.
"Life is complicated and tough", they say. But is it really that complicated or is it us, our feelings and our decisions which makes it complicated. True that, it is full of ups and downs, twists and turns and like a river having its own course, which it will follow irrespective of whatever happens. Are our lives already written by god, like just everyone around us says or is it just us who writes and crafts it accordingly?
These are the thoughts that crosses my mind every single morning when I run. Running from my mundane and monochromatic life, running from my problems and mostly running from my inner conscious. It always feels like I don't belong here. I huff and puff, resting my hands on my knees to control my breathing from the intense running that I've been doing for the last thirty minutes.
Running and dancing has always been my escape from reality. They make me feel happy and alive in this big world.
I notice my surroundings realizing that I'm just five minutes away from home, so I decide to just walk. Not wanting to wake anyone up, I quietly open the door only to be greeted with the sounds of two people yelling at each other. And it wouldn't take a genius to find out who those two people are.
"Can you guys be any louder", I say while entering the kitchen. They quickly stop their yelling looking guilty. "We were just discussing something", my mom said trying to cover up for their fighting while my father just left the room. I just shook my head and after getting the water bottle, I, too, left for my room.
My parents have been like this for years, arguing and fighting over trivial matters ignoring the effect it has been having on their children, mostly on me. If it had been not been for us, my parents would have been most probably divorced.
I'm Vivica Jones, the daughter of Lea Jones and David Jones, the people who you already saw fighting. And I have an elder brother, Eden Jones who is already away from home. I decided not to dwell into the matter and thoughts about my parents and my brother and to focus on the most important matter right now: and that was 'MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AS A SENIOR'.
Noticing that I still have one and a half hour to get ready, I hurriedly went to take a bath. After clearing my mind of the negative thoughts, I step out of the shower and stood in front of the mirror. I analysed myself. I have a fair complexion and my height was 5' 5, which was good for me. I had wavy dark brown hair with round face and dark brown eyes. I was just fine in my perspective. My body was nicely toned, thanks to my daily running routine.
I then walked into my small closet to pick out an outfit for today. I decided to wear a black crop top and paired it with blue denim shorts and white sneakers. I had a small vanity inside my closet where I usually do my makeup. Usually some says that people put makeup to hide their originality and to give a fake view to the society about their beauty. I don't know about others but I personally feel much more confident and bold after applying makeup. I'm comfortable with my skin but doing makeup has always been my favourite hobby.
I put on some tinted moisturizer and translucent powder to remove the excess oil. I then put on blush and my favourite nude lipstick to finish of the look. I let my hair down as I had just straightened them yesterday and comb my fingers through them.
"Come on Vivica Jones. You do not want to be late for your first day", my mum scolded from downstairs. "Mom, I still have like forty minutes to get to school', I replied while checking the time on my phone. After checking that I have everything that I want, I grabbed a knitted shrug and skipped down the stairs, took an apple, kissed my mother goodbye and closed the door behind me.
I was consumed in my own thoughts when I saw a woman crossing road with a small baby in her hands. Suddenly I looked behind her to notice a truck approaching her at a very fast pace. I ran towards the woman in order to warn her but in the blink of an eye, she was already on the other side of the road. I couldn't believe my eyes. I mean I just saw her in the middle of the road and then at the other moment she was already on the other end. Before I could dwell in the matter, my phone started ringing reminding me that I should hurry to school.
As soon as I arrived the school gates, my phone rang. "Where are you? We were supposed to meet fifteen minutes earlier. Come fast otherwise I'll kill you", my best friend shouted from the other side. Instead of listening to her, I disconnected the call and hurried towards our meeting spot.
There, I saw Samantha Davis, Lexi Smith, Lexis Black and Noah Woods, my favourite people in this school, laughing except Samantha who was looking everywhere as if searching for something or moreover someone. Suddenly her gaze fell on me and she narrowed her eyes. "You are so dead", she shouted from across the parking lot.
"Oh! Come on Sammy, I know you love me and I'm sorry", I apologized while making my way towards her and made the best puppy face that I could. She huffed and turned around but ultimately forgave me. "So, how are my favourite people?"
Samantha hugged me tightly while mumbling that how much she missed me. Samantha or as I call her 'Sammy' is my best friend. She's an amazing person with a bubbly and lively personality. She is beautiful with blonde hair, black eyes and fair complexion and she's an amazing dancer as well. Then I have Lexi Smith, the joker of our group who keeps on getting her leg pulled by everyone else. She is extravagant, outspoken, a total child at heart and she isn't afraid to speak her mind. She has baby blue eyes, raven black hair and tan complexion. I love both of them very much and trust them the most.
"I missed you too, Lexi. How have you been?" I said while hugging her. "Just peachy", she says, sarcasm dripping from her tone and we all laugh knowing how much she hates school.
"Now, elephant if you are done squeezing the life out of V, I want to hug my friend too", Lexis mocks Lexi. She narrows her eyes at him and mumble some incoherent words. "What is it about everyone giving me hugs? I know I'm great and everything but still!"
"Don't get ahead of yourself", Lexis said while hugging me. Lexis is my best friend and probably the first friend that I made in this school. He is truly handsome with fair complexion, strong jaw line, blonde hair and grey eyes which makes every girl in our school swoon over him. And he is a total player which I don't like about him but it's his life, right. And a little secret here: I love him and not in a plutonic way. I had always have a crush on him but didn't have the nerve to tell him. Moreover, even if I wanted to tell him, I could never do so and it's because....
"Won't you give a hug to your boyfriend too?"
Uh.....oh....
