EMAD I drag myself upstairs. Honestly, I've been tired since yesterday's function. I come across a few people who are teasing me. Same old. Same old. If only they knew how 'excited' I am. As I reach the door to my room, I grab hold of the handle and push it open. God, it's cold inside. I just close my eyes and let the AC make my miserable life better. I shut the door, my eyes still closed. Just before I'm about to lie down on the bed, I open my eyes. My eyes meet hazel. I stare and stare. Who is this? Realisation finally dawns in on me. It's Maria! Black-loving freaking Maria. In my freaking bedroom. On my freaking bed. What's more annoying is how breathtaking she looks. She's like a pearl that's been kept hidden in black. Why would anyone as beautiful as her cover herself up
