                The Rose Garden
            Chapter 2: An angel appears

I slowly opened my eyes, and turned my head to face the clock.

8:15  pm

I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes, Maybe i should walk around   i thought,
I slowly swung my legs to the edge of the bed and looked at past the window,
the sun had already set, I slowly got up and staggered towards the bathroom,
washing my face to wake up properly, i looked at myself at the mirror,
studying every feature on my face for the millionth time in my lifetime, i
had auburn coloured hair  with a greyish-blue eye colour, i was quite
attractive, well that's what the girls told me, after my moment looking at
myself i walked towards the door and opened it. I quickly looked around if
anyone one was around, luckily no one was around, i quickly closed my door
and walked out of the campus.

I looked around my surroundings, still amazed by the castle like buildings
on the school grounds, i quickly noticed a small book shop across where i
was standing, i decided to walk towards the book shop since there was
nothing else to do even though  being caught at a book store would be the
last place you'll find me. I heard a ringing of bells as i opened the door
and i quickly noticed the cashier took a quick glance at me and gave me a
warm welcoming smile, i gave shy smile back to the owner and  walked down
the rows of selves filled with books, as i read the types of books from
fiction to romance i noticed a boy in the non-fiction section, he had short
black hair with blonde streaks around the short bangs, he wore glasses that
made him look intelligent. I don't know why but i kept staring at him unsure
what my feelings were like right now, after what seemed like an eternity he
got up with a book held in his hand and walked towards the counter to
purchase the book, as the cashier places his book in a small bag and gave it
back to the boy, he quickly faced the door and soon was gone from the store,
being the curious boy i was, i started to follow him.

This boy was heading back to the campus, obviously going back to his dorm,
soon i found myself on the floor where my dorm was, after a sharp right turn
in the hallway i saw him entered his room and quickly but gently closed the
door,  i quickly realised his room was right beside mine, for some reason i
was excited that his room was next to mine, perhaps i was excited because he
was gonna become my next friend in this school but i never got excited
because of that, it was strange to become so excited because a complete
stranger lived next to me.

Later that night, i was laying down on my bed thinking about the boy,
wondering about if he had friend or what kind of person he would be like, i
quickly glanced at the clock,

9:53 pm
I yawned and slowly closed my eyes and started to think more of the boy, he
was in a rose field and turned to face me, i started to run up to him as he
ran to me, when i got close enough to him i pushed him down into the roses,
he was smiling sweetly as i brought my head down to kiss him.

I woke up suddenly and sat up to look at the clock.

5:12 am

I fell back on my bed realising that i had fallen in love with a
stranger....
