Chapter 1114: In another life (1)

If there was a different life, another life that would allow you to get what you couldn't have before, would you give it a try?

Even if there was a big price to pay for it, was it okay?

If you loved someone in your previous life and you couldn't be with them, and then you both ended up separated by time and space, was it okay to take a second chance in another life in hopes of getting together with them again?

historical

Was the hope of being together without having to think about the consequences that would follow, a mistake too?

There were many complicated depictions of love and several more other things to consider, but this love of hers was not wrong, was it? When she has sacrificed everything and finally has to give up everything she could have for something more righteous, didn't that kind of love play a big role too?

She deserved happiness as well, right?

The girl woke up with a stabbing pain in her chest and a tear welling up in the corner of her lime green eyes.

Even when she opened her eyes, the soft sobs from her lips could still be heard. It took her a while longer to gather her memories and realize that it was all a dream.

The dream that often repeated and made the morning of the girl with fiery red hair even gloomier.

This room was filled with various fiction books that could make you imagine things that were impossible in the real world, adorning every corner of the room.

"Why is it like this again.." a whimper escaped the girl's lips, like a soft whisper in the silence of the morning.

Even the sun was just shining, peeking over the horizon.

"A dream?" she said, more to herself. A question that still puzzled her, because she didn't know what to make out of it.

Each time she woke up with soft sobs and tears running down her cheeks and her pillow, she couldn't remember what she had just dreamed of.

However, the feeling of hopelessness and sadness were real. It was that feeling of grief that reminded her that she just had a dream that seemed so real but had simply been forgotten.

Even when her eyes were wide open and she went about her routine in the morning, those feelings dominated her heart, seemingly, keeping her from remembering the forgotten dream.

Does that make any sense? It just sounds crazy...

The girl was silent in her bed for a while longer. Like the previous days, she tried to remember what the dream was about, but just like the previous days, she failed to remember it again.

All she knew was that her chest hurt like someone had stabbed her right in the heart.

But, on top of that pain was another foreign pain that was far more painful. She couldn't tell what it was..

"Serefina! How long do you want to sleep? You will be late," her mother's voice and a knock on the bedroom door made Serefina gasp, she then wiped the last tear that had flowed from the corner of her eye and patted her cheeks to dispel the gloomy feeling that overcame her.

"I am awake!" Serefina replied.

"Then come down and have breakfast," her mother said before finally leaving her room to continue making breakfast.

Serefina sighed and got off her bed and opened the curtain that covered the bedroom window, letting in the warm morning sunlight.

"What a dream huh..." she mumbled.

================

Changing schools in the last year of school was extremely rare, but that was the topic of conversation this morning.

The girls started gossiping about the new male student who was about to enter their class and of course all they discussed was how handsome he was, while Serefina wasn't at all interested in the topic until she saw the said handsome student herself.

When the bell rang and class was about to start, their teacher introduced him. His name was Jedrek Donovan, the son of this country's prominent figure and this fact only adds to his appeal.

No eye looked at him without admiration, including Serefina, although she tried to appear disinterested.

The atmosphere in the class became even more chaotic when the young man was asked to sit beside Serefina, because that was the only empty table left.

Only, Serefina's admiration ended there as the man opened his mouth and said something arrogantly.

"This seat doesn't suit me," he grumbled as he placed his expensive bag on the table, looking indifferent to his surroundings.

What?

Serefina's lime green eyes narrowed as she turned her head and glared at the youth beside her.

"If you have enough money, why don't you buy your own table?" Serefina said fiercely. This guy sucks.

Jedrek who heard that, looked back at the beautiful-eyed girl and smiled sweetly, but of course Serefina could sense that he was mocking her.

"You have beautiful eyes," he said in a tone so low that only the two of them could hear. "I guess I am fine sitting here with you."

Hearing that answer, Serefina rolled her eyes and tossed her hair. "It's good that you think so, but I just wanted to say that if you are quite happy sitting in a chair like this, then you'd be even happier sitting in an expensive chair you bought yourself."

Jedrek laughed softly and for some reason his laughter and smile made Serefina's heart tremble. There's something wrong with her. Serefina knew that. Ever since she started having those dreams, something had indeed gone wrong with her.

How could Serefina be happy to see that smile and be tempted to laugh with him too?

Of course with her stubborn nature she wouldn't do that, so instead of smiling along with Jedrek, Serefina looked at him fiercely.

"You know? Money can't buy happiness and I am happy to have a friend like you," he said lightly.

"Money can't buy happiness?" Serefina repeated. "Then give me all your money and I will show you how happy I am."

And again that mesmerizing smile tugged at Jedrek's lips, making Serefina turn her face toward the window.

"And again, we are not friends," she added.

However, from the reflection in the glass, Serefina could see Jedrek's smile and his blue eyes staring at her as well.
