"Hey Nuha!"

I heard my friend and woke up.

"Ah!"I rubbed my eyes."What were you saying?"

"Seriously?What's wrong with you today?"

I couldn't answer her.I also don't know what's wrong.We're on a school trip today.We're having so much fun but I just keep blacking out.I've had enough sleep last night.But I can't seem to focus.My friends are talking and laughing loudly beside me.I joined them.The sun was shining too brightly.It was hard to keep my eyes open.I blinked once but....

Wait what?It's already evening?And we're already on our way home in the bus?I just remember that I blinked once and now it's already evening.I don't remember anything that happened in between.

"Did I pass out?"I asked the girl sitting next to me.

"No.You were singing just now.What kind of prank are you trying to pull?"

"Oh.You got me."I tried to smile."Wanna get some snacks before going home?"I said, trying to lighten up the mood a little bit.

"Nah!I'd love to but my mom would come to pick me up so I can't.Maybe later."

"Oh okay."I replied shortly as I started to get dizzy again.This time I tried hard to keep my eyes open.But soon everything became dark in front of my eyes.When I woke up I found myself in a dark room.I tried to find an exit but couldn't.

"Is there anyone?I want to go out.I want to go home"I screamed.

"Home?"I could hear a voice laughing in a teasing tone,"Who's waiting for you there?"

My mind went blank for a moment..I felt like there was thousands of people voices saying in my mind,"Who's waiting for you there?"

I woke up with some tears in my eyes and realized I was sleeping in the class again.The class had ended just then.Yeah I was done for the day.I called my dad and he told me he couldn't come pick me up.Understandable.My parents always stay busy with their job.So they get really tired when they get home.I tried to get a rickshaw.Nope.Luck is not on my side today.It was getting late..I started walking..I looked around as I was walking..There wasn't a lot of vehicles on the street..The streetlights were sparkling through the darkness..But just like any other day I couldn't enjoy the atmosphere..The calming cold breeze couldn't calm me down..That voice just kept playing in my mind,"Who's waiting for you there?"

"Seriously.Who's waiting for me?It's more than clear they don't care about me.Or which parent would let a teenager girl come home alone at 9 o'clock at night?"I said to myself.

That day I took the long route to home..I was wandering just like my mind was getting messy..

When my mom opened the door for me,she hugged me tightly..I never saw my parents that worried in my entire life..I realized it's not like they don't care, it's just that they trust that I have the ability to protect myself..I went into my room and I couldn't stop myself from bursting into tears..Because I got to know there was actually someone waiting for me..Waiting for me to go home...
