                                  EPISODE:43

          ...That evening, I got a message...from an unknown number. It read,

"Reply to this text within 12 hours or you suffer...and yes, I am the person you've been constantly seeing these days(just if you were wondering)". 'How can one person have a hundred numbers?', I thought in my mind because every time I blocked one number, the next time a different number would come up with these creepy messages. I hated it. I tried pushing that thought away and decided to keep it to myself. As I was setting up the dining table for dinner, grandma said,

"Did you tell Ethan about our invitation?".I slapped my forehead, just how bad was my memory?

"I forgot! I'll tell him tomorrow for sure."



              *******************

   The next morning when I was at college, I felt odd, odd, odd. Everyone, mind you, EVERY SINGLE PERSON present was looking at me. And I am not a face reader so I couldn't really make out why they were looking right at me. As I entered the campus,(with people still looking, of course) Sophie came out of nowhere and shouted my name extra loudly in my ears.

"Sophie! Stop shouting in my ears!!!", I shouted back at her with an annoyed look but she didn't listen. She grabbed me by the hand and said,

"Oh my God! Oh my God, Daisy!!! You have to see this, come!!!", with that, she ran towards the other building. That's exactly when I realized why everyone was looking at me. There was a large crowd in front of the 'Photography' campus, all looking at a big hoarding board that was attached to the wall. You guessed it right. It was 'my' picture. The one which had me looking the other way with sunlight peeping through my eyes....only it looked so much better on the wall.

"And look what he titled the picture!!!", Sophie squealed. She was right because, on the footer of the picture, it was written, "SUNSHINE by ETHAN JONES awarded Best Photographer of the year."

"He called you Sunshine!", she shouted again. Truly, Sophie's overacting was at a whole lot another level that day.

"Silly! He's not calling me sunshine, he's calling the sunshine, sunshine...?", even I didn't understand what I said.

"No! He's calling you-".Then I saw him coming out of the campus. Firstly, it took him forever to come as he was greeted by so many people and when he finally arrived, he was all smiling.

"Congratulations, Best Photographer!", I laughed.

"All thanks to you...for making me win...this would not have been possible... Thank you so much!", he said, looking at me and then at the hoarding board.

"Ethan, I am not sure who won...your photography skills or", she paused and looked at me, "Daisy's beauty".I wanted to kill her. Having a friend like Sophie is a blessing but sometimes these people can be EMBARRASSING.

"Even I am not sure about that!", he laughed.

                          DREAMFUL                   CHAPTER 50                  ... Edwin ran down the hallway to where the bouncer, Destiny, and the police lady were standing with the lady's grip still firm on Destiny's hand and as he came closer, Dez noticed he had an ID Card around his neck, quite similar to Destiny's, but one which read- Team Security. "What's up?", he asked the bouncer after stealing a glance at Destiny who was quiet now. "You see this mess, sir? This girl is smoking here, we have proof as well", he said, pointing toward the cigarette on the floor," and then she refuses to-" "Edwin, I did not-", Dez started when he said, "I'll handle this, cool? Let her go.", he said to the lady who was holding Destiny's hand. "But sir-", the bouncer started. "I told you I'll handle this." "And listen?", he added, putting a hand...

  DREAMFUL   CHAPTER:21         ... It was Saturday, the day Destiny had been waiting all her life...her first-ever professional photoshoot day and she was exuberant about it. She quickly took a shower and got dressed in a white cropped tee shirt and some dark denims, put up a messy bun of her black medium-length hair, and chose a pair of knee-high boots to go along with her look. She decided to not do any makeup as it was no use since the pageant would anyways provide the services. She took her black furry jacket off the hook of her bedroom door...it was a chilly Amsterdam morning and without a jacket, one could freeze, so it was mandatory. "Look who's ready?", she said, closing the bedroom door behind her. Mrs. Decker and Grace looked up at her with their smiles. "You look amazing! All the best, Dez...make us proud!", Grace said, hugging her younger sister. "I'm so thrilled today.", Mrs. Decker said looking at Destiny with a smile. Destiny got ou...

  DREAMFUL   CHAPTER:35                 ... 'This is not the time to cry, Dez, come on!', her heart told her as she started knocking on random doors in the hallway. Some doors didn't open at all, some had loud music on, and some simply refused of owning a pair of shoes. It was all futile. Ten minutes for her turn to arrive, no shoes and she was begging for shoes, that's what she was doing. Destiny was about to turn her back, go to her room, pack her bag, get out of there, go home- A door behind her opened revealing an almond-eyed girl. Whether she was truly almond-eyed or was it the makeup...Destiny had no time to decide. Dez took one look at her and glanced at the door name tag- 'CORAL ELLIS'. "Hi, I'm Coral, you look worried?" "Hello Coral! There is hardly any time left for me to go up on stage and I have no sandals.", Dez said hurriedly, looking toward the stage and back at her. She was panting like a dog. Coral gave her a confused lo...
