Twist in time

"Stella get up"someone is calling me. I slowly opened my eyes to see my chemistry madam standing in front of me.

"oh no, I am so sorry mam" I lift myself up from the table feeling embarrassed and noticing everyone's eyes on me. She didn't reply and just walked away. As soon as she left the final bell rang.

"I'm sleeping in the class and you didn't give a damn help to wake me, " I scolded my friend hazel when both make our way out of the class.

"Well she did before I did"

"That's a nice explanation" I kept walking in the hallway.

"By the way, adam wants to see you. He said he will wait outside the academy"

" Okay, thanks I will catch you later" I rushed into the restroom and washed my face. My blonde hair is not messed up cause I slept in class, not home.

Adam is my boyfriend. Well, sort of cause after two years of relationship I never felt he really cares about me. He's a short temper. I think I deserve more, I am a worthy girlfriend.

"Hey, Iam waiting for you an hour. Why can't you just come on time" he yelled at me as soon as he caught my sight.

" Why are you being furious about this. Hazel informed me a few minutes ago" I rolled my eyes.

"fine, I am not furious. I just have to meet my friends after an hour" He tapped his feet impatiently.

"You have time for them but not for me, fine go" I started to get frustrated. Why did I ever love him? he has never been nice to me. I just can't trust anyone.

"Okay I am sorry, I have time for you. Can you come to my home? We can do our collage work." He said trying to hide his irritated look. I nodded and there's a beep sound on my phone. I got a notification from Madelaine.

Maddy: Hey Stella, I hope we can meet today. I have got to tell you about our new inventions

Stella: sure, I am coming :)

she's five years younger than me and we are the closest friends from school. I smiled at the phone. The only senior girl I ever talked with and become close within a few months. My mood brightens whenever I talked with her. I felt so alone when she graduated, I got some good friends like Hazel but no one's gonna be equal like Maddy.

"Who are you texting, "Adam raised his eyebrow.

"Its Maddy, why are you being suspicious?"

"I am not."

"Okay, I think we can't do work now. she asked me to meet her at her home. But I will come to your place..." he interrupted me.

I was about to say I will meet you tonight but he took his bag and left immediately before I could finish. I was done speaking to him. He irritates me a lot. I hate when someone ignored while we are talking and here my boyfriend is an example of that type of person. I hurried straight to home hoping to get some peace as every other place I know sucks and I just can't stop complaining about it.

I turned the knob of the door and entered slamming the door behind me, I heard the crashing sound. My eyes went wide when I found the plates and the vases lying down on the floor, broken and crushed.

"mom" I called out when my heart started to beat faster with every step I took towards the kitchen. Loud noise coming from the kitchen.

"Why the hell you did that without my permission" dad's shouting at my mom.

"what's the matter with you two" I yelled at them.

"don't poke your nose in our matter now go to your damn room" She snapped. I just entered the house after school and she's snapping at me without a valid reason. Why can't I know about any problem that's going between them? Nowadays their fights are increasing like anything. Their problems are affecting me. I can't feel good living here in the middle of my problems. Great, there's no peace at home either. Now where the hell should I go? some problems someday are fine but every day, it sucks. Maybe reading books will take me somewhere I can find happiness but that too in this noise, I can't even read. Since my childhood, I always wanted to go somewhere, someplace in the outer place. That's why I ever choose to study science. I don't want to be famous for inventing something. I want to achieve my dream that's all.No need of appreciation at all. At least I can be happy there. Thinking about the whole universe gives me happiness. I want to explore it, each and every part of it.

I changed into my top and jeans and got out of my room as I am pretty sure mom hadn't cooked anything due to this ridiculous fight. I don't know whether to tell this as ridiculous or not cause they are fighting as they can be separated at any moment. If I came to know about these problems, I would have done something to solve it. But Iam not allowed to involve in these issues. Now I am heading to meet Maddy and eat there. Iam starving.

"where are you going"my dad shouted at me from the kitchen.

"getting out of the hell" I yelled back without turning and slammed the door beside me, causing a loud sound. I felt ease as soon as I was out. Maddy is the best scientist in Los angles, always keeps on inventing something with her co-workers. I wanted to be like her. but her home is not just a home. There's a secret entrance to her lab where she finds some new devices. Due to this secret lab with many valuable devices and inventions, it's well protected with many securities. Every common people will think it's a well-protected billionaire house but I know all these securities are for the lab inside it. I reached her house and got past the security.

"Wait, mam, your identity" the security stopped me.

"Are you kidding me, why should I show my identity every time I come here, you know I am her friend" then they allowed me with an apology. I got inside her room and took a specific book from her bookshelf. A secret passage opened from it and I walked inside. The lab is larger than her house, more stunning, excellent maintenance, all new equipment, trustworthy workers, sufficient space. There are more than a hundred peoples working here. It's a secret research lab.everyone is busy with their work.

"Maddy" I hugged her.

"Stella, its been one week not seeing you but I feel like a year"I smiled at her.

"you won't believe what I found. We all are closer to reach the parallel universe. We can go there with the help of a spaceship and I hope we will find it soon" she spoke fastly with more excitement.
