ELI POV

I woke up with tears and sweat running down my cheeks. I checked the time and it seems I've woken up before the alarm again. I've stopped having dreams of her since I've had Yenna. Whenever I dreamt of her before that, I always woke up devastated, guilty, disturbed, and crying. It's a bit ironic that I dreamt of her after so long, especially after I found her once again.

Yesterday I found her, more like discovered it was her. Y/n L/n. My first love. The guilt I forgot about has been overwhelming me since yesterday's discovery. I knew her first name was the same as hers and i noticed her features resembled her a lot, but because of her personality change i doubted she was really the girl i knew. She's changed so much. She doesn't remember me... or maybe she's pretending not to remember. Well it makes sense why she'd want to forget about me, after all it was me, who left first.

I could feel my eyes tearing up. I looked at Yenna's sleeping figure and went to the bathroom. I quickly washed up and got ready. I've still got school and my part time job to go to. I just hope I don't see her today, or else the guilt I'm feeling will increase and Ill just feel more confused. Right now i have higher priorities than looking back on the past, i have Yenna now.

Yenna was still sleeping so i carefully put her clothes on and picked her up. I took all necessities like Yenna's bag and my own. I left the house with Yenna still sleeping in my arms. I dropped Yenna off with her caregiver and headed to school.

I got to school but the halls were unusually empty and quiet. Usually I would've already been surrounded by people. Though this silence isn't bad, it's really suspicious. I didn't pay it any mind and kept walking to my classroom. I walk past the fashion department and noticed a familiar figure walking towards me. Y/n. I freeze in my tracks and just stare at her approaching me. She's finally a few feet away from me and i ready myself to hear a cold greeting or some insult. Instead of either of those things, she completely ignored me... she didn't even look at me and just entered the classroom...

I stood there completely dumbfounded. Once again staring at her retrieving back.

Y/N POV

Today I woke up feeling like shit. Not only did I have an awfully confusing and upsetting dream. It was of the unknown little boy. It's as though his name and face are selectively blurred out in my head. It irritates me, it all seems so real, yet unreal. As if the answer's right in front of me but I don't even know what question I should be solving. As if it couldn't get worse, this time the dream was much more vivid, and it opened up the waterworks behind my eyes. I woke up sweating in the eyes. I feel like my inner self is humoring me... I feel humiliated in front of myself.

I clearly have an awful mood. I can feel myself releasing a dark, ominous aura around me. I've blocked out all my surroundings for today and blurred everyone's faces around me. 

Surprisingly I came to school way too early and I can have some peace in an almost empty school. I decided to just get some snacks from the vending machine in the cafeteria. I got my snacks and starting walking back to the classroom. 

Although I've blurred out everyone surrounding me I noticed a familiar guy standing in front of the classroom. Surprisingly it was difficult to willingly blur his face out of my view, if I kept looking at him, I'd end up analyzing his features and wouldn't be able to take my eyes off him, which would definitely cause misunderstandings. I avert my eyes away from the weirdo and casually get closer and closer to him. I start slowing down once we're a few feet away from each other. Why am I even planning to stop though? We aren't even acquainted for me to casually have a conversation with him. 

Having thinking of doing such an absurd thing,  I swiftly walk past him ignoring his presence.
