The Cross Academy uniform was as dark as my mood, the only hint of colour a choking red bow that wrapped around the front of my collar.
Sometimes I think that I've spent the majority of my life staring in front of a mirror, both admiring and criticising myself, thinking of all the positives and negatives, even wishing that I was somebody else. Now, with that nightmare continually haunting my mind, I still wonder.
First day of classes and I still haven't registered properly. I probably should go see the Headmaster, if I manage to find his office. I'm terrible finding my way. Shaking my hair out, I applied a bit of lip gloss, threw my handbag over my shoulder, and bolted out of my dorm.
Breathing in the fresh summer air, I smiled with relief. Well, at least there's something not so dull around here, I thought. My dorm was almost like a machine that sucked out all of my air supply, almost completely tightening my airways and suffocating me. I feel so much less constricted outdoors. The chains that bind me break free.
Sauntering around the school grounds, I looked around. Roses, roses everywhere. Ugh, I thought. Do I attract bad luck or something? I mean this is ridiculous! First I have a disturbing dream, then I wonder who the hell I am and get the feeling that I might need to rent an oxygen tank, and lastly, I'm completely lost in a maze of utter confusion.
"Shoot." I muttered. I kept walking, beginning to get a sharp pain rise in my chest. Dammit! I can't even walk a certain distance without my heart rate and breathing playing up. It's similar to a kind of asthma attack, but worse with the condition I have. I don't even know why I'm here. If I was so incapable, why was I sent to a bloody boarding school? Maybe I should have been shoved in a hospital bed. But then again, those ghost white walls would have been enough to drive me insane.
Suddenly I locked eyes with a boy who was nearly double my height, his eyes an alluring lavender and his silver hair ruffled.
"Hi, oh thank God I found someone. I thought I could ask you for some directions to the Headmaster's office You see, I-"
"The next building on your right." He cut me off, no longer looking at me but at the ground. I wondered why. Rocks and stones aren't interesting.
"Oh, um, thanks." I breathed, turning my back on the boy.
"I'm Valeria by the way." I added. He was motionless and almost intimidating,while I was standing there with my hand against my heart, taking slow, deep breaths.
"Hey are you alright?" He asked, now looking intently into my large baby blue irises. His muscular body moved an inch closer, and he was now stretching his arm out to touch my quivering hand.
"Yeah, I'm ok. It's just a little bit of breathing trouble, I'm fine." I smiled,trying to seem convincing.
The truth was, I wasn't. An attack like this hasn't happened for about a week now, but that wasn't the problem. It was the fact that the pain was more intense, the fact that it affected every single nerve in my body instead of just my heart. I felt the weakening of muscles, skin burning up then going ice cold, the fluttering of eyelashes as drowsiness began to kick in.
Oh no. Vision become a blur. Blackness seeped in.
I fell.
Well, I guess her breath was taken away. Literally. XD Haha hello again! I am SO SORRY for the late update! I currently have a fair bit going on these holidays, plus most of the time my parents don't really allow me to use my laptop, so yeah, don't worry I am not backing out on this story. I promise you guys, I'm gonna keep writing! Just be patient! Thank you for reviewing and supporting me by the way, it's really helpful and makes me want to write even more!
