2024-10-29 19:42:56Margaux is still furious when she gets home after her unexpected meeting with her twin at the mall. She immediately went straight to her room to calm herself down.
“Argh! That loser!” She shouted out of frustration and threw her bag onto the bed. She couldn’t still grasp the situation that she had been in earlier because it was the first time she got rejected and the feeling was foreign to her. This is the first time that someone chose Tiarra over her that’s why she’s feeling agitated. She felt this was her first defeat to Tiarra. Because unlike before, she could easily get everything Tiarra had and always had her way of turning the tables in her favor.
"What right do they have to reject me? Don't they know me?" She asked furiously even though she’s talking to know one. Her beautiful fa

"5, 6, 7, 8! Left, right, single, single, double and glide!"We practiced the steps that Ayna had previously taught us. Because the event will be tomorrow, today is the last day of our practice. Even though we shouldn't be practicing right now, Ayna came up with an idea to improve our performance."PERFECT! We’ll have a ten-minute water break then we'll start again from the top," Ayna said. Some of us sat down from where we were standing to regain strength for a moment, while others decided to go to the cafeteria to buy something to eat.I’m observing myself for a moment because of the tiredness that I am feeling. I’m becoming nervous that I might not be able to cope up with the practice today because of my condition. I’m afraid that I might collapse. I took a deep breath and then fanned myself. M

We spotted Mace waving at us as we entered the café. Their lunch break appears to be early as well. We walked right up to her and sat at the table she had already reserved for us. "Are you okay? You looked pale," Mace asked as we sat down. I just nodded at her as a response. "What are you going to eat? I'll buy it for you guys," Renjo said. Mace and I immediately said what we wanted to eat then he left to go to the counter. "I saw your damn twin," Mace said when Renjo left. I just raised an eyebrow at her, didn’t even bother to say a word but it seems that Mace knows what I was thinking. "I feel like she wanted to talk to me earlier, but her damned troops like her called her," she continued. I

Today is Freshmen's Night, and I'm getting ready to pack the necessary things I'll need. I initially safeguard my meds by placing them in a pouch and putting them in the front pocket of my backpack in case of an emergency. After that, I put on some extra clothing so that I can change after the performance. I just stuffed our costume into a paper bag, along with the rubber shoes I'll be wearing. "Tiarra?" I stopped whatever I’m doing when I heard a knock on my door. I immediately opened it and the smiling face of Nana Selya greeted me. I automatically smile upon seeing her. She didn’t utter any words and just went straight to my bed where all my stuff was placed. Her forehead furrowed when she saw my bed in mess. Yeah. I don’t know how to pack properly. I’m such a baby. "Where are you going? There’s so much
Chasing Happiness CHAPTER 11
Silence prevailed inside the house as Tiarra left. No one wants to talk among the remaining three– Ricardo, Selya and Renjo. Selya scratched her head as if it suddenly hurt because of the discussion between Tiarra and his father. While Tiarra's friend, Renjo was left speechless staring at the door where his friend exited. "If I were you, Hijo, I wouldn't be friends with Tiarra," Ricardo said, drawing Renjo and Selya's attention to him. Renjo scrunched his brow, unable to believe he was hearing those words from his friend's father's mouth. He was already aware that Tiarra's relationship with her twin was not good, but he had no idea that her own father treated her in the same manner. “What nonsense are you saying, Ricardo?” Selya chastised him, but she knew that was all she could say because

“What the hell happened to you? You look like a ghost!” That was how Mace greeted me when we arrived at her house. Perhaps she was wondering because my eyes were swollen. He looked to Renjo as if she could obtain an explanation, but Renjo merely shook his head, so Mace frowned and looked back at me. I sighed. Since I really don’t want to worry her, I needed to lie. “I just woke up.” "Was the traffic so bad that you slept for a long time and your eyes turned like that?" I just nodded as a response. I don’t want to explain myself and I don’t want to argue with her. Knowing Mace, she should know that I am not really okay now. Mace never spoke again even though I knew she had a lot more to ask.

“LET’S GO!”Ayna shouted as we finished our last run through about our performance. We walked together backstage where we could see the full view of the field. As I’ve said earlier, there’s specific colors that represent each faculty. For us –the College of Business Administration owned the color green. We could immediately spot our department's location since it was just in front of the stage, and our department flag was on the side. I'm not sure how many tables are reserved for our faculty, but I know the entire soccer field can accommodate the entire freshman class of each faculty tonight.The decorations are fancy and elegant. There are lights everywhere and scattered lanterns on the floor. There are also artificial trees on the right side with dim Christmas lights. Since we are in the open field, they improvi

“I’M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU FREAKING FREAK! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY DRESS!!” When I heard Margaux's scream, my world seemed to come to a halt. As I looked at her, my eyes widened with terror and panic. I still managed to take a glance at what she was wearing while I was still seated on the ground. She was wearing a stunning sparkly lavender cocktail dress, Parisian silver stiletto, and her hair was styled in a messy bun. But it was all for naught because of my stupidity. “M-magie..” I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to say either. Confused, I looked around, sensing that the majority's glance was on our way but I didn't have the time to take care of that because I am more terrified of what Magie would do to me now.

"If you hadn't been born, Mommy would still be alive!""I hope it's just you who died and not your mother!"I could hear Margaux and Daddy’s voice over and over in my brain. I don't know why I suddenly hear their voices.I can not breathe.Help!Please. Help me! I can't breathe!I closed my eyes tightly as I struggled to catch my breath. I tried to hold onto my necklace hoping that it could save me but I wasn’t wearing any."Tiarra! What the hell is happening to you ?!"I don't know. I just ... can't breathe.Gradually my eyelids closed as

"OMG! Finally we got to spend time with each other after school." I ignored what Mace said as I fixed my stuff and prepared to go home. We both have no practice today and we both don’t know why. I mean, we should have a tight practice this week because Freshmen’s Night will be held three days from now. "You want to go to the mall? Just to kill time since it’s too early to go home." I just nodded to her and walked first out the room and she immediately followed me. I have to go home, but I still don't want to go home. It’s good that Mace suggested the idea of going to the mall. Since the day my father and I argued, I've been too lazy to go home. I feel suffocated every time I am at home. I feel like the house is too small for the three of us. Before, Dad’s eyes always look
