Fate's Endless Games
Chapter 1:
Aurora walks back home from her university, with her headphones on playing her favorite song.
After 15 minutes she reaches the apartment where she lives, she stops on the second floor to feed the kitten that always waits for her there. She takes her headphones off, to hear the laughs and chatters coming from inside her house, and takes a moment before she steps inside.
The sound of the door opening makes the laughs and chatters stop, and silence takes place.
Aurora takes her shoes off, and heads straight to her room locking the door. The laughing, giggles and talking starts again the moment she is in her room.
Aurora
*Just a few more months before I move out of here*
Aurora
*A few more months and then I will never have to see them again for the rest of my life*
Aurora
*It can't be that hard can it? I am almost there*
Aurora
*I have an hour left before I go to work. Should I take a nap?*
Aurora takes a shower and goes to sleep.
Aurora gets ready for her part time job.
Anna
Mom I am going out with my friends. 😙
Mom
Alright, but don't stay out too late okay? 😮💨
Anna
Ofc mom, I will be back before 10. 😌
Sam
Are u going to drink? 🤨
Anna
Erm.. Maybe.. A little? 😅
Sam
:sighs: Don't drink too much okay? And call me I will go pick you up 😮💨
Aurora comes out of her room, they all look at her. Aurora walks to the kitchen to take a glass of water.
Anna
Are you going to your work sis?
Anna
Should we go together? I am also going there-
Aurora
Why? Are you going there with your friends to humiliate me in front of everyone I work with like u always do?
Anna
No that's not what I meant... I just-
Aurora
I don't care what you do when you are there.
Mom
Don't talk to Anna like that.
Aurora
Then ask her not to talk to me. Just pretend I don't exist, like you all do anyways.
Sam
She asked nicely, if u didn't want to go with her then u could have simply said no. No need to be that rude.
Aurora
Why bother asking when she already knows I will say no?
Aurora
did she honestly think I would be happy to go with her?
Aurora
You probably don't care, but I might be back late.
Aurora wears her shoes and leaves, Anna also leaves after her.
Aurora
(wears her headphones)
Aurora
Don't bother wasting your energy. I don't want to listen to a single word you say.
Anna
Please just hear me out once..
Aurora
(plays music and walks away)
Anna
*what should I do to make her listen to me just once?*
Anna
*just once.. Can't she talk to me?*
Catherine
I thought you weren't coming today?
Catherine
Didn't u have extra class?
Aurora
No it's not.. I had something to ask the teacher. Now I have to wait till next week.
Eve
Ofc only you would feel disappointed if an extra class gets cancelled.
Alan
No I understand Aurora. It was math class that got cancelled, ofc it's disappointing.
Eve
Normal people would be even happier if it's math class that got cancelled. 🙂
Julie
Eve, you are forgetting both Alan and Aurora are top of their class.
Catherine
Aurora being a topper makes sense, but I don't get how Alan gets top.
Alan
Wdym by that? Am I any different than Aurora? 🙂
Eve
Of course you are. Aurora is on a much higher level than you.
Eve
you are too dumb for a topper.
Alan
how can you say that about your boyfriend? 🙂
Aurora
Do we not have customers today?
Catherine
it's fine, our shifts haven't started yet
After an hour, Anna enters the cafe with her friends.
Julie
Ugh why is She here?
Catherine
Alan, you go take their order.
Alan
you didn't even have to tell me.
Aurora
Are you guys serious?
Aurora
I already knew she would be coming here.
Julie
Maybe we should ban her from coming here??
Alan
yes I agree we should do that
Catherine
what even happened between you two?
Aurora
(looks towards Anna and shakes her head slowly)
Julie
Aurora, join us we are going for dinner.
Eve
Please join us this time. 🙏🏻
Alan
forget it, she will say no again
Aurora
Why do you guys always ask when u know I won't go?
Catherine
In hopes that u might say yes one day.
Catherine
You aren't going home anyways, why not just join us?
Eve
what kind of answer is that? 🙂
Julie
will u ever join us one day? 🤧
Alan
Maybe? Just say never 😮💨
Eve
I wonder if I will ever get to hang out with you before I die 🤧
Julie
one day u gonna regret not joining us sooner 😤
Eve
She's so frustrating 🙂
Catherine
I wonder what goes in her mind.
Julie
Forget it, let's respect her privacy. let's go, I am hungry.
Chapter 2:
Aurora woke up, got ready and made breakfast for herself. She sat at the dinning table having her breakfast and reviewing her notes.
Mom
Anna wake up, it's time for your college.
Anna
Dad, can you drop me off to college today? I don't really feel like walking.
Anna
isn't your university also the same way as my college? I am sure dad wouldn't mind-
Aurora
I mind being anywhere near you.
Sam
Anna, why do u keep asking her?
Aurora
Yeah, don't bother. You are the reason why I am like this, anyways.
Aurora
Don't bother pretending u care, if u do care why don't you go and die?
Mom
How dare you say that to her?!
Aurora
Leave me alone then! Just go on pretending I am not here! That I am not your daughter!
Aurora
Is it that hard to do?
Aurora
Leave me alone for a few months, I will move out then and never see your faces again till I die okay?!!
Aurora
know what? I won't see your faces even after I die.
Aurora
You left me alone for years anyways, so go ahead and continue doing it for a few more months!
Aurora picked her notes, bag and left for university.
Anna
Why did you have to slap her mom! Why?!
Mom
How can I not?! She told you to go and die!
Anna
Still you shouldn't have slapped her! You shouldn't have!
Anna
How can you slap her.. She's your daughter too.. (looks down)
Sam
Why are you taking her side? After everything she did to you, you should be the last person to say that.
Anna
*it wasn't her fault...*
Aurora takes her headphones out and puts them on as she heads inside her university. In the hallways, students look at her go and whisper.
Aurora was heading to her classroom when she was stopped by someone.
Amber
Look who's here again
Amber
You really are one persistent b!tch aren't you?
Nancy
(snatches her headphones)
Nancy
Don't you have shame? You still show up everyday.
Nancy
I would have killed myself by now.
Ella
(Pulls her hair from the back)
Ella
Nancy are you stupid? Why would someone who pushed her sister from the roof have any shame?
Aurora
One idiot calling another idiot stupid, it's ironic.
Aurora
aren't you three tired of using that one incident just to hate on me?
Aurora
at least come up with something else. It's already been 10 years since that.
Amber
Pfft.. it's not just that incident, didn't you bully your little sister throughout high school and college?
Amber
You also pushed her in front of an incoming truck, did u not?
Amber
Everyone knows how many times u tried to kill her.
Nancy
You are a b!tch who was jealous of her little sister.
Nancy
You are so disgusting y'know that right?
Aurora
You shouldn't be the one saying that, Nancy.
Aurora
Everyone knows about your older boyfriends since highschool just as well as they know about me.
Ella
:pulls her hair tighter:
Ella
You really want a beating don't you?
Aurora
that's all u can do since elementary school.
Sofia
Man, you 3 just don't get tired of this do you? it's like this everyday. 🥱
Sofia
Bullying in university? Come on, we are not in high school anymore. Grow up already will you? 😩
Amber
Oh look, the 3 saviors are here to save the damsel in distress. 😏
Annie
You 3 are so annoying, seriously. 🙄
Annie
I am so sick of the three of you. 😑
Ella
I could say the same.
Amber
Why? Are you her lover or what? Why do u care so much? 🙃
Kelly
(look at her) are you letting go or not?
Amber
(looks at Ella and nods)
Ella
You are lucky your saviors came to save you. 🙄
Ella
One day you will be dead. 😏
Aurora
that's obvious. Everyone will be dead one day.
Aurora
Your low IQ really surprises me.
Aurora
How does it keep decreasing day by day?
Nancy
Take it if you can 😏
Sofia
(snatches it from her and gives it to Aurora)
Aurora takes the headphones, puts them on and heads inside the classroom.
Sofia
Not even a thanks. That rude little brat 🙂
Annie
Did you forget she's like that since high school? 😂
Sofia
Kelly why do u even help her? 🙂
Kelly
let's go, class is about to start.
Sofia
Did she ignore me? 🙂
Annie
If these two were in a competition for who's more silent and distant, I wonder... Who would win? 😶
Sofia
Tie.. It would be a tie.
Sofia
At least Kelly knows how to say thanks 😒
Sofia
That little.. She is so frustrating! 😤
Annie
come on let's go to class 🤣
Aurora starts leaving the class
Sofia goes after her, she trips and is about to fall on Aurora, but Aurora stepped aside and she fell right on the floor instead.
Annie
Oh, that definitely hurt like sh!t 😶
Annie
(shakes her head) oww.. I could feel the hurt from here 😖
Sofia sits up with her nose bleeding.
Kelly
(rubs her eyes and shakes her head slightly)
Sofia
Why. Did. You. Step. Aside. 🙂
Sofia
You could have caught me!!!!
Aurora
I couldn't. If I tried we both would have fallen on my bag, and my bag has my laptop in it, it would have broken.
Aurora
And your head would hit mine, we both would have ended up with a bleeding nose.
Annie
(tries not to laugh)
Sofia
What. Did. You. Say?!
Aurora
My headphones will also have been broken by the fall.
Aurora
(gives her a napkin)
Aurora
Wipe your nose, and look up at the sky for a few minutes. Don't stand up right away, u will get dizzy.
Aurora
And I think u twisted your ankle.
Sofia
At least you still have some human decency.
Sofia
Won't you apologize? 🙂
Aurora
it's not my fault you fell. You missed a step because u were in a hurry.
Aurora
(gives her some money)
Aurora
Go see a doctor. This will be enough.
Sofia
Do u think I don't have money? 🙂
Aurora
Fine, don't take it.
Aurora
(About to take the money back)
Sofia
No I will take it 😒
Sofia
(snatches the money)
Sofia
Of course it does!!!
Kelly
Let's go I will carry you.
Sofia
Why are we friends with her??? 🙂
Chapter 3:
After the cafe closed, Aurora said goodbye to her co-workers and left.
Afterwards she went to a bar.
Before entering she wore a black mask
Bar owner
it's ur turn afterwards, but before that
Bar owner
there's someone who wants to meet you
Aurora
(look at her and raise an eyebrow)
Bar owner
(points at a person)
Aurora looks over where she was pointing and finds Kelly sitting at a table.
Aurora
(sighs) *of course it's her*
Aurora
can I use the roof for a little bit?
Aurora and Kelly went up to the roof
Kelly
I can ask the same question
Aurora
when did you find out?
Kelly
So you work here? Why?
Aurora
I just come here to sing sometimes, it pays well.
Kelly
If you need money I can-
Aurora
I don't want your money
Aurora
I like singing here, it's a women only bar
Aurora
I don't even have to show my face, it's a good deal
Kelly
isn't it too far from your house?
Aurora
don't bother. I don't want your help
Kelly
If something happens-
Aurora
If something happens, let it. I would like something to happen so I can die okay?
Aurora
We aren't friends so don't bother me okay?
Aurora
I don't know why you keep helping me, I don't want your help. I hate it okay? I hate you, your two friends, and everyone else
Aurora
So just leave me alone okay?
Aurora
Don't add me to the list of people you need to take care of. Don't.
Alan
Aurora? You are here in the morning?
Aurora
Yeah, didn't have classes today
Eve runs to hug Aurora, but Aurora steps aside and Eve ends up hugging the cafe door.
Eve
Why do you always do this 🙂
Aurora
I told you, I don't like people touching me.
Julie
We have been working together for over 5 years, are we still not close enough to hug you? 😞
Catherine enters the cafe
Catherine
Finally, air conditioner
Catherine
it's so hot outside.
Catherine
(looks at Aurora)
Catherine
How do you still wear long sleeves in this heat??? 🙂
Catherine
Looking at you is making me feel hot
Aurora
Don't look at me then
Catherine
You.. You are something else
Julie
Tell me about it, I don't think we ever saw her wear anything else except long sleeves no matter how hot it is.
Eve
Aurora, you know you aren't normal right?
Alan
Her family isn't normal, how can she be normal? 🤣
Catherine
okay enough chit chatting let's go back to work
Customers started walking in, Aurora took their orders.
3 people walk inside the cafe
Aurora
Welcome- (look at the customers and frown)
Amber
Woah, now isn't it Aurora?
Amber
How nice to run into you
Aurora
*why is my luck never on my side?*
Nancy
Wow, You work here? 😂
Ella
You talk too much for someone who does a maid's work
Ella
but it suits you to mop the floor 😂
Ella
reminds me, I am in need of a new maid.
Ella
should I recommend your name?
Ella
The pay is good don't worry 😂
Aurora
I don't know why you think I would feel insulted to be a maid, I don't mind at all.
Aurora
Wasn't your mom a maid before she became the second wife of ur dad?
Catherine
where does she get her sarcasm from? 😶
Eve
I should take classes from her.
Ella walks forward to slap Aurora in the face, but since Aurora just mopped the floor, due to the floor being wet Ella slipped and was about to fall on Aurora when she stepped aside and she fell right on her face.
Eve
You know for the first time, I like that habit of Aurora stepping aside whenever someone's getting close to her 😂😂
Aurora
I mean, shouldn't u have more common sense? I have the mop in my hand, so obviously I just mopped the floor why would u run on a wet floor?
Ella gets up with a bloody nose.
Aurora
You should sit down before u faint and fall again on the back of ur head this time
Ella
Why should I listen to-
Alan
Ouch, that gotta hurt 😂
Catherine
what's going on here??
Alan
Oh nothing, u just missed all the fun
Catherine
Of course I did 🙂
Nancy and Amber pick up Ella, and start leaving the cafe.
Amber
Don't think this is over, just wait I will teach you a lesson
They leave the cafe, and they all burst into laughter except Aurora.
Alan
That was so fun to watch 😂
Catherine
not fair, I missed it all
Julie
it's okay, we have CCTV footage.
Julie
we'll watch it again 😂
Aurora
I have something to do, I will leave early.
Eve
Later, we are going to a restaurant for lunch... I know you will say no, but want to join us?
Aurora
Think I just said I have to do something.
Aurora
(puts flowers on the grave)
Aurora
Grandma... I miss you so much
Aurora
*I wonder if you were still here, would I still be so miserable? No right?*
Aurora stayed there for a while, as she was about to leave, she spotted someone else.
Kelly
I don't like you that much to follow you
Kelly
How do I know you didn't follow me?
Aurora
Why would I bother following someone I hate?
Kelly
I don't know, why did you bother putting flowers on mom's grave if you hate me?
Aurora
You are an annoying idiot, you know that right?
Kelly
and you are a stubborn idiot, you know that right?
