Clara:
How do you define the perfect day? Climate? The person with you? The things around you? You? Them? Us? We? They? Togetherness? What is the meaning behind the word?
Dad called me on the night of the birthday. Group call with Annalise.
"Happy birthday Sweet tooth," Annalise said blowing over a kiss.
"Thanks," I said. I didn't know what to say to the supercharged particle, Annalise.
"Tootsies listen," Mom said clearing her throat.
"There is an Biennial Business Gala that is scheduled during Christmastime. It's in Switzerland and we guys are invited. You guys have Christmas holidays so we can go away together? Mom and I surely have to go," Dad said.
"No..." I said.
"Yes," Anna replied.
"Why though?" Anna asked.
"I gotta study," I said.
"Study... Lame Duddy," Annalise said. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Funny that it's coming from you," I said. Dad roared with laughter as Mom's laughter drained out.
"Alright... We are going," I said.
"It's starts from 16th December," Dad said.
"Hmm," I said. Our merry chats ended after an hour as to when, I decided to depart for the bed.
Knowing that the days may not get any better, a weird optimism took over me.
The holidays started from 1st December. So I had 15 days to go. Not so hard, was it?
Adam:
"Mom... An invite came over," I called out knocking at her study door.
She ushered me in.
"What is it for?" she asked taking the envelope from me.
She opened it deftly and handed me the enclosed box of chocolate. She knows me. I looked at her and smiled.
Her eyes scanned the page as mine opened the chocolate wrapper, stuffing the chocolate in my mouth and moaning softly.
"Stop it Ad," she said.
"What is it for?" I asked licking the chocolate off the wrapper and then off my fingers. She smacked me on the head.
"The Biennial Business Gala... It's in Switzerland... Gotta inform Dad," she said sending a message.
"You going?" I asked.
"Yeah and you too Mister," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I can't afford to leave a two year old in the house," she said.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Mikalya is also going... I had a chat with her Dad earlier," she said picking out a file from the desk cabinet.
"Alright... I gotta go," I said.
"Where to?" she asked, her eyes full of suspicion.
"Study," I said looking at her.
"Thank God for this wisdom..." she said.
"Hahaha," I said hugging her.
"Mm... You've got chocolate on your cheeks," she said pulling away. I broke apart and liked it off my face.
She smiled. I went to the director and while closing it, grabbed a peek of her licking it off the same way I did.
Knowing that this is her being me, I went to the bedroom and had a hearty laugh until my lungs ached. Then, I picked up my keys to the car and went to meet dumbass Terence who had himself admitted to a hospital.
Emmet:
"The Peterson family is being honoured at this year's Biennial Business Gala," Dad said sitting in front of me. Somehow, I had become his Confidante.
I think he had hopes of dying sometime soon because of the disease that had taken over him. I shook that thought away.
"That's good isn't it?" I asked.
"It is but I can't go there. My responses will start failing. Instead, I have the next best alternative," he said.
"Yeah... Mom should go..." I said.
"She can't... She is busy with a really important project... I want you and Den to go. Also, take Vanessa," he said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Believe it or not, I am not gonna last too long," he said.
"Stop it... You are not gonna die," I said hugging him.
"You promise?" Dad asked.
"Alright," I said.
Knowing that this was going to be the first time I was gonna represent the group, I was nervous. A spark of hope of being alright until the days ended, a weird optimism took over me.
Annalise:
"Wait... Even I am going..." Nick said.
"Could it be any more better?" I said throwing my arms around him and hugging him.
He smiled.
"Let's go back to study," I said handing him his books as he sighed.
"I need the guide," he said.
"Well then ask sometime later," I said.
"Feisty?" he said. I looked up and bit my lip winking. He groaned before he pulled me onto him kissing my face. I laughed maniacally.
"You can never reach the depth of me," I said. He looked at me. It took me time to process what I just said. When the self realisation set in, and the horror was clear, I smacked Nick on his head.
"Get your mind out of the gutter," I said getting off him and sitting down to study. From the guide.
Knowing that what I had with Nick was too treasureable, I finally felt a surge of pride in having what my destiny contained.
Ethan:
When you finally felt someone to trust, don't you feel a pang of something. Something so unique that you are ready to do everything for that. A great sorrow comes over when you realise that the trust was not so strong.
I really like Clara and everything from hanging out with him to herself. I want to be with her. I want to change. I want to leave the intoxicating Ethan behind for someone who could treasure and fall in love.
I know me being with Clara such suddenly looks different but the truth is, I always had an eye for her. From the day Sexy legs came to view to the day when she got drunk in my party. You think they I don't take notice? I do.
I wanted to turn the tables around.
I knew that her parents were gonna come to the Biennial Gala, hosted by the Wood family, I wanted for their trust to develop on me. I wanted to be someone who treated her right. I wanted to be someone who they could trust.
I wanted to be the new Emmet.
Knowing that this lust might never be fulfilled, I wanted to be Ethan Wood. But not the one who played with emotions but the one who had emotions. I really wanted to be someone different. I really have hopes on me.
