City of history

If some information about Oxford is wrong then sorry as it is completely fictional.

(Author's pov)

The city of Oxford,a land where one can still feel the broken hearts of poets and authors in the swaying air .The city which holds mysteries of history is now bathing in moonlight,street lights enchanting the streets like anytime Harry Potter will come in his broom with his friends.

The tall buildings , whispering the tales which occurred hundreds of years ago are still standing with their magnificent beauty.

For Destiny ,it feels like ,the hollow she have created in her heart is now filling with the sight in hand.Her emotions which she have been embedding inside her since so long, soothing themselves like this place was the medicine she has been longing for.

Her homesickness fading away,she belongs here but her brain keep accusing her for betrayal, betrayal because of not missing her family, betrayal because of enjoying alone .

But her poor heart,wants to hug this city so hard,that it will be so hard to leave....So hard that even her soul will refuse to go to heaven .

"Miss Destiny ,this is your dorm room and we will send you,your food in one hour ."

Olivia ,a great example of elegance soothed Destiny by her words.She knows the girl infront of her is far away from the cruelty of this world.Her eyes holds the light of her dreams which her face fail to show but Olivia ,a great observer never ceases to miss it .

"Thank you Madam Olivia,Can I roam outside tomorrow."Destiny with a flick of excitement asked Olivia,her almond eyes holding the hope which was not a surprise to see.

"Of course ,keep my number in case you get lost, Magdalen is quite big ."Olivia said unable to refuse the girl infront of her ,who just showed her big puppy eyes .

Destiny closed her door ,and moved to look around her room,it was neither big nor small ,it was just enough to hold her personal space .

A large window giving her the view of tall buildings of Magdalen,along with two beds in the corner of the room,two study tables opposite to the beds and a huge cupboard embedded on the wall to keep their things .

"Thank God there's a bathroom attached to it ." Being affected by verminophobia it was a sense of relief for her .

"Who is going to be my roommate, better if she will be clean ."She tossed herself on her bed which was near the window.

"Perks of coming first "She grin and take out her phone to call her mother.After doing facetime with her family and giving them a room tour she starts to place all her belongings on her side of cupboard.

She went inside the bathroom, which was spacious even to dance."How good it would have be ,if there were two showers."

She starts to do her skin care along with singing.Later she takes a shower.

"Wow,I did all of those things in one hour ."

"Yayy!!!My half personal room." She was jumping up and down on her bed when Olivia shouted from outside the door.

"No ,No Destiny don't jump ,open the door"

She clicked her tongue and opened the door with a guilty smile."Sorry"She mumbled while tugging some strands of hair behind her ear.

Olivia taken a back by her cuteness, controlled herself from taking this cute panda in her embrace.Destiny's black hair rolled in a bun but her baby hairs which were growing were covering her forehead.Her glasses which matches perfectly with her face sat on her nose and a cute smile adores her face.

"Ahmm, don't jump headmistress will get angry."She composed herself and handed her the food and as fast as possible she ran from there.

"Aren't you the headmistress?"Destiny muttered these words before helping herself with the food.It was a small pizza with a glass of juice.Second time in the day ,Destiny missed her mother.

"I want mommy's food ."She whined before engulfing the last slice of pizza.

................................

"Sorry if you didn't like that I have already taken my place ."Destiny said these words to the girl in front of her.

The girl's onyx eyes squinted a little before addressing Destiny without any trace of Japanese accent in her voice,"It's okay, anyway your name is so unique.Destiny"

The girl looked around the room with the same adoration Destiny had held yesterday and gave a satisfied smile."The view is so beautiful, but why are you staring at me?"

She raised her eyebrow at Destiny who was sitting on the edge of her bed staring at her without blinking."Your eyes are so beautiful and you didn't told me your name ,so rude."

She pressed her lips in a thin line and shook her head."Actually whoever person I have came across other than East Asia, they make fun of my name ."

"No worry ,I am not like others."Destiny gave her a thumbs up and the girl smiled and said,"It's Ai Arimora. "

"Ai ? What's there to make fun of?"Destiny looked over the ceiling to think of it and said,"Artificial intelligence?"

Ai nodded ,"Don't make fun of me "

"Was just guessing,Ai."Destiny smiled before taking her phone from the nightstand.

"I am going out ,do you wanna come ?"She stops herself at the door and glance over her shoulder,eyes locked on Ai.

"I just wanna sleep."She shakes her head in negative and fell on the bed.

"Good night."Destiny says before shuting the door behind.

.............................................

After going through all the tall buildings she can ,she sits at the bank of river Cherwell.

The sound of water flowing seems like a Lullaby to her ears which mother Earth was singing for her.She looks at the leaf which falls from the nearby tree and grabs it immediately.

She eyes the leaf with fascination as it was a piece of art .Indeed it was.She turns her head around to find anyone whom she can accuse for painting this on a leaf .

It was a painting of her when she was sleeping on the plane.There's no coincidence, it's really her.The same black hair tied in a ponytail with a white scrunchy.Her glasses seeming like they will fall anytime from her nose and will slip down to her lap .The same blue sweatshirt with a panda on it and black trousers.

The size of the leaf is same as her hand but it's enough to draw all the details of her by the artist who is enjoying seeing her distress from afar.

"Will meet you again, Little Flare."A huge boyish grin adores his face as he looks at her small figure from afar before starting his bike .
