Trapped Inside
"Lia! Wake up! You're going to be late!"someone shouted as she drag Lia out of her bed.
"Five more minutes!"she said while she tried to go back to bed.
"You always say that every time I wake you up but you always end up late."the woman said as she tries to wake Lia and convince her to woke up. But Lia on the other hand doesn't seem to heard what the woman is trying to say. The woman sighed in defeat knowing she knows that it's hard to wake her up once she reads another book or watched a TV show. She stood up and left the room like nothing happened.
Minutes past by Lia felt something hot on her face. She opened her eyes slowly and was welcomed by the sunlight from her window. She groaned and sat up in her bed, scratching her one eye while yawning.
"Ugh, I think I had a good sleep."Lia said while stretching both of her arms. "Now what's the time?"she looked on her bedside table where the clock supposed to stay and it shows that she's already late— I mean really, really late. She paused for a moment looking intense straight to the clock like it was telling why the clock didn't ring.
She suddenly get off from her bed and rushed to the bathroom to get ready. There's still time to get ready for school.
"Shit, I'm already twenty minutes late."she mumbles.
After she's done taking a bath, she wore an oversized white shirt and a denim shorts, she paired it with black and white sneakers that matches her own outfit, and picked her tote bag. She runs to the door to take a leave but soon halted her step and turn her head where the book was placed last night.
Lia remember that after she got home borrowing the mysterious book to the librarian last night she immediately reads it all night and end up getting late. The mysterious book that she was reading isn't really mysterious, more like, a book that has been toss out and ends up at the library. The book itself had an interesting story, and has a lot of major plot twist that she always hooked up.
She picked the book and put it inside of her bag so that she can return it to the librarian later. While Lia is running down the stairs, the woman who tried to wake Lia up suddenly gets out of the kitchen.
"Thank the heavens that you're awake,"the woman said while heaving a sigh. "You gonna eat breakfast?"she asked Lia while she's on the first floor of the house while wearing an apron and also holding a wooden spoon to stir.
"Uh, no thanks, just gonna grab a sandwich."Lia said and picked the sandwich and shove it in her mouth.
"Bye!"
"Be careful!"she said to Lia who rushed to the door.
"I will! Thanks Auntie!" She runs to the nearest bus stop near there house and while catching her breath.
Back then, since Lia was still a child her parents passed away due to a plain crash. Lia was badly injured that time and also she somehow doesn't remember her memories from the incident. Thanks to her Aunt, they didn't pry much to interrogate Lia.
She casually wait until the bus stop in front of her. Inside of the bus is full so Lia has no choice but to stand until they reach her destination. She then put her phone out and text her friend that she will gonna be at the school in less than twenty minutes. But as soon as she puts her phone back, she felt the bus shaking.
"Everyone! Please hold on tight to the rails to those who are standing, and those who are sitting please fastened your seatbelt and cover your heads!"someone shouted at the front.
Soon the passengers who heard it, they obediently do what the stranger told them.
"W-what's happening?"the stranger in front of Lia suddenly ask.
"The break is broken!"the driver shouted, when the passengers heard it they suddenly panicked. Others are praying and the others are shouting.
"Ahhhhh!!"shout by one of the elderly people.
"Am I going to die?!"some students that also where going to school hysterically asked.
"****! This is so thrilling!"some emo guy said in a joyous tone.
'The hell? Is this how I'm going to die? In my 21 year's in my existence I didn't even had to experience to be in a relationship? I can't accept this.' Lia said on the back of her head while she was dripping sweats and praying for her life.
'Lord, if ever I be reborn at least let me experience to have a boyfriend in my next life.' lia prayed as she trembles in fear of her life.
The bus where she was riding suddenly crash to the truck in front of them. They all felt that the bus was flipping upside down. But before they reassured that the bus will stop flipping it suddenly explode.
