*third person POV*
Clara makes her way downstairs to have breakfast with her family members.
" Good morning" Clara greets her parents as she takes her seat.
"Clara have you settled every thing for you internship" Clara's father asks.
"Uhh I'll do that as soon as i get back to school" Clara responds.
"Clara you do realise that you need to start taking things seriously , i understand you get good grades but you act like you do not have passion for what you do , all you do is play silly games and waste your money on it". Clara's father responds.
"Okay I'll do it you don't need to call my hobby silly" i roll my eyes as i respond.
"so your hobby is playing weird stimulation games with characters that look like Greek gods" Caleb says.
"Oh shut up and stop acting like we don't know that you do worse on your computer". Caleb clears his throat as i speak.
***************************************
The day was slowly coming to a end and Clara was packing her bags slowly has the holiday came close to a end.
"ughh i really don't want to go back and be more drained than usual" she says to her self.
It is already midnight and Clara was getting ready for bed in her restroom when suddenly she hears a loud thud from her bedroom , she quickly put on her pajamas to check out what made that sound.
As she enters her room she notices that the orb she took from her aunts house was moved from where she placed it.
"what?" i don't remember placing this on my bed" she says to herself confusion.
"Oh well i should really find time to return this before she notices it's missing" she thinks to her self has she places it on her bedside drawer. she then decides to play her favourite game.
"ugh i love Sylus so much but he isn't real after all , he always gives off a dominant and possessive aura , i wish Raphael was like this but he is such a jerk , come to think of it i haven't spoken to him for a while" she says to her self.
"after what happened between me and Raphael i think i need to fix things so i can stop drooling over fictional characters" she thinks to her self .
*Flashback*
*Clara's POV*
It had been three weeks since Raphael invited me to go with him to his friend's party , Maya happened to be invited yes my best and only friend was in invited because she happened to know his family and they were family friends. when me and Raphael was dancing to the tune of the music then Maya approached us and then we were catching up on girl stuff, she then walked away after we were done discussing , i suddenly heard Raphael whispering "she is so sexy" under his breath , i confronted him about it and he said i was overreacting , out of anger i stormed out of the party and blocked his number.
"end of flashback".
Come to think of it he hasn't even called or visited me and apologised about what he did . maybe after grocery shopping with mom i would pay him a surprise visit.
"Raphael is such a jerk if only Syus was real , i wish he was real" she says out loud.
"what am i even saying it's not like he would even want me even if he was real , i really need to touch some grass". she says as she drops her phone and falls asleep.
Little did Clara know , the wish she made was being listened to by the orb that sat her bedside and it suddenly started to glow a faint blue colour as she slept
******************************************
The next morning the sun shines through Clara's baby pink curtain onto her honey skin , she woke up to her phone ringing , she picks up the phone.
"Hello good morning , i am calling from the admin at Cherrytop university , am i speaking to miss Clara john". Clara already knew why they would be calling so early in the morning.
"um good morning , yes this it's me" . Clara responds to the caller.
"Okay then i would like to remind and inform you that you have not paid the remaining 40% of your school fees and the deadline for the payment is fast approaching". Clara sighs loudly as she hears the lady speaking.
"yes i am well aware of that fact but i will get back to you before the end of this week , just needed time to gather some things"
"Okay then thank you and goodbye".
"Bye" she hangs up the phone.
"Oh my God this wouldn't be happening if not for Shysie and greed. i really need to talk to my parents about this and i think it's high time i get a job so i can be able to use my skills to support my self" she thinks to her self.
"i also need to stop spending so much money on love and deep space and start saving up , ughh why is being an adult so hard like i just turned 18 and it hasn't been up to three months and i'm already so stressed" she complains.
As the morning goes by she waits for her parents to come back from work particularly her dad since he i the one sponsoring her education.
"dad good evening" she says as she enters her dads room.
"Good evening Clara , come in is there any problem?"
"I just wanted to talk about something important , it's about the remaining part of my school fees we need to pay the remaining 40% left" she says as she picks at her nails.
"it's no problem at all Clara it just skipped my mind with everything going on and us trying to recover all the money we lost but we are stable now so don't trouble yourself I'll settle everything , okay?" the father reassures his daughter.
"Okay dad thank you so much , but i was thinking maybe i could get a job to support myself too..." she replies.
"Okay sweetie do what ever makes you comfortable I'll be okay with it"" her dad replies trying to hide his proud smile.
*one hour later*
Clara rushed downstairs looking nice in her casual outfit.
"Clara where are you off to?" her father asked.
"I'm off to Raphael's house to pay him a visit" she says as she picks up the car keys heading out.
"don't wait up for me dad i might be home late" the she drove off the driveway.
