Laila's POV

It had been raining heavily for the past two days and as much as I liked gazing out through the window, it sure started to dampen my spirit. I play with a lock of my hair as my mind starts to wander, feeling my eyelids growing heavy. I feel a buzz from my phone and force open my eyes to read the text from best friend, Shirley "Hey wanna come to the party tomorrow I will introduce you to a good guy and hey it's not like we are getting any younger". I consider replying but in the end decide to ignore. Afterall she does know that I am not interested to be in a relationship now. Closing my eyes and flopping down on my bed first time in a while I found myself drifting to sleep without trouble. "Tomorrow might be a good day"

Forget what I said yesterday, today sure is not my day. I can't believe I slept in even though I have always been punctual. Today might be my first day late in my four years of working. Working as a professor is not easy as you have to set an example for the students. Tying my long black hair into a ponytail, I hold my belongings, coat and dash to the bus stop in the most unladylike fashion. I am thankful none of my students are here to witness me embarss myself. It sure was a hassle. Though after I reached the things pretty much was smoothed.

"Goodbye miss Weller, ma'am have nice day", I find myself being greeted by my students before heading home. Today I will go home and sleep afterall I felt like I was lacking sleep lately or so I thought only to find myself snapping back to reality by Shirley's call.

"Hey are you really sure your not coming today". I reply exasperatedly "Yes". "Why we will meet all our college friends think of it as a reunion at least do it for I will be lonely without you", her voice got softer to the end of the sentence. She knows I will not be able to decline if she uses that tone. "Fine just once" I reply. "Yay your the best then I will meet you evening in Windsor Hotel be sure to be on time". She hung up excitedly before I could answer. Haaaah..she sure does everything her own way.

Suffocating that's all I have to say about parties and this one was no better. "C'mon cheer up it's not that bad and the food is great here" Shirley comforts me . 'well I do admit that the food is great it's just that I don't like these socializing parties a lot'. "Hey I will be by your side all night don't worry you have got me" or she says......

She is a liar, I watch as she was sucking up to a rich guy. So much for staying by my side I think pouting. It is so boring I guess I will go home before someone decides to approach me. I consider telling Shirley but then decide against it as she seems to be having fun.

I come outside and contemplate whether I could take Shirley's car since she gave me her keys earlier, I guess she would not mind and it's already midnight she would probably ask a ride from that rich guy.

As I go to parking lot I find my hand grabbed by a stranger,he had pretty emerald green eyes and auburn hair. Um.. as I say was interrupted by his raspy voice "please take me home I have no where to go".....

This was how the disaster started.
