Test chapter-txt

Test chapter, don’t read. The explosive gaze he gave her made her want to crawl into a hole and never peek out of the darkness.In that moment, he knew all her secrets.Her feelings.Her scars.The moment seemed identical to one she had read in a book not too long ago, but the vehement feeling was something she could never have guessed or felt. He was forceful. Rapacious. It was as though he had taken off everything from her body and let her roam naked under his stare. Her breath had gone short. For a moment, she wasn’t even breathing. She felt faint.Gone from reality.But the land she visited with him was different.Dark and consuming.The sounds around her were muffled. She could barely hear the loudness of the girls that sat three rows bellow them. She didn’t feel the hot air anymore. She felt the coldness and the sweat on her skin made her shiver. He wasn’t giving in, but neither was she. She could see, by the peripheral view, how his whole form froze and the phone he was holding with his both hands was long forgotten. He was set on devouring her.Then she felt a hard push on her shoulder. Her vision blurred and she was pulled from the water she had fallen into, back into the heat and humidity. Back to reality.“Maia are you okay?”Sky’s worried voice filled her ears. The muffled sounds were gone and she flinched at the sudden tones.“Yeah…sorry, I spaced out.”“Are you sure?”Lina jumped in, already taking out the bottle of water she always brought for Maia. The girl would sometimes forget to hydrate, which worried the two even more, so Lina had taken upon herself to make sure that Maia would not pass out from not drinking any liquid. She handed her the bottle.The coldness of the water washed away a part of the intensity she had felt. But her body was still shaking. Her insides were still trembling. She was still shook.Intense.That was the most intensity she had felt in her life in this form.Sky took her hand when she had noticed that Maia’s eyes were drooping. And indeed, the girl was feeling lightheaded. Slightly unwell. The hotness in the air was suffocating her and the aftermath of the staring battle was rattling up her nerves. Standing up and raising her hand, Sky spoke loud and clear to the bald professor who was praising the godlike man.“Sir, my friend is unwell and she’s about to faint, she needs air.”Their heads snapped in the direction of the two girls. She felt her skin prickle and her breath shudder when his gaze found her form. Sky pulled her up and only then had she felt the sluggish feeling in her legs and the heaviness that made the gravity feel even worse on her body. She rested an arm around Sky’s waist as she wasn’t as tall to rest it on her shoulders, and leaned her weight onto the girl.They came down the stairs and all the while, Maia had her gaze glued to the floor, refusing to go into the cold vortex of savageness the man made her feel. When the two stepped out of the auditorium, her lungs stretched as she breathed in the coolness. They walked to the bathroom and Maia washed her face with cold water, not caring for the mascara she had put on. She wiped herself and leaned her arms onto the sink.What the fuck.She pondered. She thought. She contemplated.No idea.Maia exited the women’s toilet minutes after. Sky had let her collect her thoughts on her own, for which she would be forever grateful.“Thanks.”“What happened?”“Just the heat. It was very hard to breathe.”“Gosh. They really need to open a goddamn window. It’s getting ridiculous.”“Yeah. Let’s go back.”Maia encouraged and the two made their way back to class. On their way back, the duo was just exiting the room. She inched closer to Sky instinctively and tensed up when they turned in the opposite direction of them.He was walking straight towards her. Her palms began to sweat and the lightheaded, fuzzy feeling returned. But her eyes stayed glued to his burly and admirable form. He walked with confidence, exploiting strong self-esteem and defiance. He was strong, she could tell just by the way his big hands would twist in a fist while he was talking. Although his lips were curled in a pleasant smile, his eyes remained dead, stoic and the steel silver color shone with something she couldn’t completely decipher.She glanced at Sky.The girl was oblivious while typing away on her phone, replying to unread messages. Her attention turned back to the god.To her utter shame, he was already staring at her. The gentle glimmer in his orbs grew bigger and his nicely shaped lips twitched in a knowing smile. Her steps almost faltered and she covered away from his figure even further. He gave her a slight nod, in greeting and pure respect. They had been gawking at each other and neither had made a move before.But Maia was too embarrassed.Instead of returning the ‘kind’ gesture, her head darted down as her eyes glued themselves to the floor once more. She couldn’t express the feeling of guilt and pain that stabbed at her heart for being so uncharacteristically rude to the man. No doubt, he was ticked off or turned off by her behavior.Yet, when they passed each other and the girls reached the room, she could feel the sense of relief wash over her. The tension left her body and even though she was back into the suffocating room, she couldn’t help but feel better than before. The source of her distress was gone and she was feeling good. Now, she could entirely focus on the lesson and be more creative.She was, again, feeling rhapsodic.Fumbling with the keys to her apartment, Maia Adler hurried into the little kingdom. She greeted her roommate from the hallway who in return mumbled something incoherent once again. Letting her bag fall next to the table she always studied at, she flopped down onto her bed and sighed in exhaustion. The day was hot and humid and even though the sweater wasn’t as suffocating as most of her clothes, she was still sweating uncontrollably.After the little break on her bed, she showered and had dinner, then found herself sitting comfortably on her bed, typing away on her computer. She was chatting with Sky and Lina additionally and listening to some relaxing piano music. She was preoccupied and working, writing an essay for one of the classes she was attending.But she couldn’t keep the façade for long. When she paused, her thoughts scrambled and went back to the male that had obsessed her mind in the first class she had today. That encounter was too by the book to be real. She had only read, saw and heard the cliché scenes of where the cute girl meets the hot guy and they end up being together happily ever after. But she wasn’t the cute girl. He was definitely more than a hot guy.And this wasn’t the cliché story. She tried to return to the essay, but she was already far too into her dreams to be focused on something so serious. She instead focused onto the man she had seen in the auditorium.He was smart, no doubt, and the way he worked on the computer seemed out of the ordinary. But the question that was bugging her throughout the whole day was why he was staring at her. Maia didn’t consider herself ugly. She was thick and short, but she had a pretty face. Or so everyone told her. But she wasn’t the chick that godly man should concern himself with.She was broken.For several reasons, she could never date. She could never open up. The chains that held her down were too strong for her to slip past them. They bit into her skin, covered her body in whole and kept her at the bottom of the stormy sea she was thrown into. She couldn’t bare the weight of someone else. She couldn’t worry about someone else. Which is why she only had ‘acquaintances’. She rolled onto her side and ignored the pinging phone. Her roommate was talking on the phone, filling her room with muffled laughter. Maia felt sleepy from all the activities, but she didn’t want to fall asleep. For the first time in a while, she wanted to continue on daydreaming, plotting her own story in her head and living the fictional life she had created for herself. It was worry-free, lovely and bright. Fresh.There, she was strong, a leader and the one who always held the victory flag. There, the battles she fought weren’t as vicious as the ones she had to face in real world. She was free of the pain her past brought along, her thoughts materialized and her actions doubled.She was free.Her wings would spread fully and she would fly into the sky and never return down to the ground where the peasants lurked. It was bliss. But when she had to come down from the high, she would realize that her wings remain torn and broken, ripped apart by the savagery.For a while, she remained in the fetal position on the bed.Thinking.Dreaming.Plotting how it would be if her encounter with the Adonis-like man didn’t end with an embarrassing moment and her trip to the toilet. How it would be if she wasn’t as rude to ignore his greeting and simply walk away from the scene. That, had haunted her even after the lesson was over. She had been subconsciously replaying the encounter, trying to understand why she was so upset and on edge. There was just something in the man that she couldn’t quite piece together, something that gave her the ere feeling that this wouldn’t be their last meeting. It was then that she realized Lina had been right.They had seen him again. But as much as she wasn’t interested in the girlish chatter about the apparent god, now she was frightened by his sole beauty and demeanor. He, who was working so efficiently and quickly on fixing the projector, had a very strong personality. The man he had come with was at least twenty years older than him and even he was respectively talking to him.No matter the age difference, they were on the same level.And then she came back to the same question once more. Why was he staring at her? She had questioned the girls later if she had something on her face even before she had went to freshen up. Their reply was negative. At that point, she was feeling excited, scared and most of all, delirious.In the spur of the images and the overflowing emotions that came from her imagination her body relaxed and she drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow, Maia would start the day over. With joy and a smile she hadn’t worn in a long time.
