The sound of the alarm resonated loudly through the room like a wailing baby seeking for attention. It was so disturbing that I couldn’t stand it anymore
With a hand coming out of the cave of blanket which I burrowed myself in, I tried to locate the “source” of the noise. Like a blind mole trying to find its way out, my hand had knocked onto several decorations, lying along the drawers in the process of the search party.
My fingers brushed against the metallic casing which seems so cold that it gave my fingers a static shock. My hand hid away reflexively.
Followed up was the chilly wind which sends a sharp chill down to my nerve as it hit my hand.
Once again I moved my hand away, back into the warm and cozy blanket which seems like heated room in the cold winter.
The very next moment, I leaped out from my blanket after recalling of something which is very important.
“Today is Christmas Eve and also it’s my date with Darwin!” I remembered suddenly and my mind was clear.
As I leapt out, I was chilled down to my spine as I totally forget that it’s was chilly outside.
Something is wrong.
It was not chilly outside but it’s more like I was feeling a lot warmer. Touching my face with both of my hands, I could feel that it was hot. My neck was red as well. I had got down with a fever.
I can’t deny that it was related to yesterday. I had run under the rain for hours and with my clothes soaked and stuck onto my skin. The worst is that I woke up in the same clothes as yesterday.
“I cannot afford to get sick in today!”
With that determination, I moved my body down to the bathroom and took a quick shower with the heater adjusted to the maximum.
The way back to my room was hellish. No matter how slight the wind is, I froze whenever it brushed through me. However my determination did not extinguish that easily.
Like all girls have, I also have a big black wardrobe which contains my whole collection of dresses and attire. Even though, there are so many choices for me to make, but I still couldn’t decide which is my favorite combination.
“Should I wear this white dress?”
“This looks good and fringy, I think Darwin would like that”
“Maybe too exposed?”
I couldn’t decide which to wear seriously.
Nonetheless, I had finally made my choice of wearing the white dress with fringes around since I want to give him a White Christmas. Of course, this is my favorite dress which I did not wear them out before as it will be stained easily since it’s white.
Time was pressing me as I was about to be late.
