CHAPTER 44- MYSTERY STEP SISTER
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Kevin was shocked for a while as he stared at this fellow. Her resemblance with Rachael was top-notch.
The person had long blonde hair and pink lips and the same pair of eyes as Rachael's. The only differences between them would probably be their voices or walking sense.
The girl stood up leaving the shocked Kevin who was dazed for a while.
"Hey, I am Lydia. Sorry, I bumped into you, " she smiled sweetly.
Kevin got out of the little trance he was in as he stood up, clearing his throat slightly.
"My bad... I am Kevin. I should be the one apologizing instead, " Kevin simply said.
Somehow, he felt this person must have blood ties with Rachael to have such a resemblance with her.
"You look dazed for a while there. Anything the matter?" Lydia questioned, making eye contact with Kevin.
"You share resemb

There is a saying that goes thus: 'The devil you know is better than the angel you just met. Kevin felt lost in words at Lydia's offer. It was quite a tricky one. One thing he could deduce was that Lydia seems to know more than just a newcomer. While she probably has a nice expression, something still seems off to Kevin. What does she even mean getting the heart of her sister for him? She is probably not a con artist, right? He truly believes if Rachael is the one meant for him, then it would be. He will rather be like the Shulamite woman who was quite cautious with her feelings for the shepherd boy. "Love is a treasure that we all seem to find because being with the person you always love is the greatest place. You know that right? Do you even like her?" Kevin only looked on, as Lydia spoke. Since she is Rachael's step-sister, maybe it would not be ba
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 46- LOOK ALIKE
A frown crept to Rachael's face not only because she saw her lookalike, but she could feel the vibe zooming out to be exactly like her's. Just seeing Lydia in front of her gave her this weird feeling in the pit of her stomach. She has been having a bad feeling about Zack, but seeing her lookalike only brought questions to her mind. "Hi. And you are?" Rachael simply asked as Lydia went inside the empty class. Rachael simply closed the door, wanting to know more about the person in front of her. "I am your step-sister, Lydia Jenkins, the second born. I believe you are my elder sister.," Lydia beamed with a smile as Rachael simply nodded. She felt slightly angry but she knew she had to hide it. She is also the kind that tends to tell people not to judge people easily. Here is her sister who she has never seen for the past seventeen years of her life. It seems her dad's genes
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 47- ZACK'S PROMISE
Rachael felt her mind going berserk at her mother's request. It was one that seemed rather impossible. A big part of her heart does not want to see her father again. She has been through the seventeen years of her life hoping she would grow up and make her mother proud. Yeah, her mother only because so far she has been the best and supportive parent ever. "Please, Rachael. I know this is a difficult one for you, especially since he never asked of you till you grew up. Just see him this once, and hope he will feel sober and probably feel like sharing the bond with you as a father to a daughter," Mrs. Eva held her child's hand as Rachael simply looked on. " What if I don't want to? You are the only fatherly figure I know in my entire life. I do not feel like seeing him, as he has never for once asked of me. Is he worthy of being a father? He never cared about you even when he commi
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 48- FORCED DECISION
Rachael was happy, mainly because the young fellow in front of him does not seem to share the same traits as Lydia. One who is discreet and observes calmly can easily see behind Lydia's smile. "Wow, that is great then. I am Rachael Jenkins, your step-sister," Ethan had a mixed expression on his face. He was glad to finally meet his stepsister. His parents even refused to show him her picture as they claimed Rachael was just a visitor. He never bothered them again as he kept to his quiet life. He has always been an introvert, and none of his words mattered to the family. Sometimes, he even wondered if he was part of the family. But whenever he sees the striking resemblance with his mum, and also his dad's words that portrayed that he used to behave like him while he was his age, he just decided to keep his life a quiet one, with her older sister being the celebrity of the ho
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 49- DISOWNED
Everyone has problems in their lives, and in the midst of it, they still try to struggle to be fine. Rachael was in one of those situations non due to her father's weird demands. She was in a sticky situation, especially when she did not know what his father was capable of if she refused. "With due respect sir, I don't think you have any authority in making such a big move over my life. Changing to the Commercial Department? A department I have no idea, interest or ever thought about," Rachael was stunned as she found her words quite slippery. "You dare reject your father. Was this how Eva brought you up? I blamed Eva for all this, for not bringing you up we'll. Instead of you being thankful I was trying to make your life better.," These words only make Rachael's blood boil a little with anger. "I don't think you should bring my mum into this. My mum did her best by
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 50- RACHAEL'S DILEMMA
Rachael felt empty and at the same time happy with the decision she made. It was one that requires great thinking and being focused. Anyone could have felt less concerned and accepted the proposal her dad gave, without thinking twice. After all, it was just for college. And it wasn't as if there was a restriction in still taking up some courses on one's area of interest.But Rachael has a different thought that does not seem similar to that of others. Her dream has been based on a simple lifestyle. She does not want to be seen as a Rich CEO of a country who will keep thinking about the losses, profits as well as other things to keep his business going. Instead, all that Rachael wanted was to help others in the best possible way. To help anyone through her words of advice, soothing and comforting words, which she believed can go a lon
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 51- I ACCEPT
The cold hit differently as students were putting on different wears to protect themselves. Winter was drawing closer and it was enjoyable but can be freezing.Lydia began taking steps as she walked towards the Arts Department, a complicated look on her face. Somehow, she doesn't feel too happy nor was she sad. But was probably troubled a little.She was quite contented that her sister was sacrificial enough to have left such a huge property, thereby bestowing it to her. It felt like a dream come true. She could not help but wonder whether she was gullible or smart as people say about her. She sure likes a not-rich lifestyle,'. But one thing she never realized, that is Rachael, was that their father might not take it easy on her."Finally got to see you", Lydia smiled as the tall fellow turned to face her." You?" his expression on a confusing level."Yes me, nice to meet you," she stretched her hand forward, which he ne
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 52- UNHEALTHY OBSESSION
It is often said that emotions shouldn't be bottled up, but rather allowed to get out and flow freely. Sometimes, it is better to let the tears out, so that you can feel less burdened. Rachael no doubt played along with those words as she cried out, settling under a tree. She felt tired of letting all things be built in. It was tiring to her. She let the tears flow freely as well as the memories of her father's words. His words were like a knife that pierced her heart. It was unbearable, mostly because she hoped for some beautiful outcome only to get disappointed by the reality of life. She imagined her father would simply apologize and long to spend more time with her, but it was the opposite. Her so-called dad only saw her as something of value to his massive material wealth. He just

Since his stepfather had been sentenced to life imprisonment, he was more relieved and hope for the best in his own life. Rachael's and Joy's mums graced the occasion, as they showered them with advice, gifts, and prayers.Kevin felt his father's absence slightly. He could still remember how his father had promised him two years ago to grant him any of his wishes if he graduates from high school. For now, the promise will be on hold.

Kevin's joy knew no bounds when he was able to get more evidence which reduced his dad's sentence to only 5 years.Even tho it hurt him to see his father being given -a five-year imprisonment, his aunt made him realize how fortunate it was for his sentence not to be at least 20 years and above, since it was on fraud and embezzlement.

HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 70- CONSEQUENCES
Joy felt tensed for a while. She refused to speak to Andrew because she felt she might overreact and go far with her words.Even when Andrew kept pestering him, she just kept mute like a dummy. ' Was that the right thing to do?' she asked herself as she waited for her driver, frustration boldly written on her face.She could see some worried expression on Andrew, but she cared less. ' He has so many female admirers and compared to herself, she does not look fit'.She reprimanded herself inwardly when she began feeling her insecurities coming back to life. She draped her face with a handkerchief and felt even more impatient because her driver was not yet around.She sighed, as she looked at her wristwatch, realizing it has been some minutes past the normal time she was supposed to be picked."Joy. Are you going to leave me to trek home", Joy closed and opened her eyes as she heard Rachael's voice.She turned back, trying her best
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 69- JEALOUSY
Feelings can be the best thing especially when expressed, but limitation has to be put in place especially when such feelings might not be in the long term.They smiled at each other warmly as their short mesmerizing moment was being cut short by the opening of the door.Kevin coughed slightly as he quickly released Rachael's hands as he turned to leave. The juniors who entered greeted him politely as he simply nodded, bubbling inside like a happy kid.He decided to have his lunch at the classroom, hoping to see Rachael after school." Does this mean they are now dating, since they feel the same about themselves? Or they would remain just friends?"Those questions kept running through Kevin's mind. He sighed, hoping the day would come to an end soon.....Joy and Andrew on the other hand both had lunch together. Joy was entertaining Andrew with some of her jokes, which only made Andrew smile and laugh heartily. He must confess he
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 68- CONFESSION
Saying YES will only make him be in the suffering end. How will he even tell his other friends that he broke the rule of dating, and has started dating Lydia? It sounds unreasonable.The shout kept getting intense, making Kevin blame himself for coming early to school today. He looked across the hall, as his eyes met with that of Rachael.He felt his heartbeat, as he saw the pain in her eyes, maybe it was his imagination. Before he could say a word, Rachael turned away and left.Within a split second, Kevin removed his hand from that of Lydia, ready to make his own decision. He took a step forward, as the noise began reducing."I don't know why you are making a fuss over this unless you want Principal Mullins to detain you all for disturbing the school peace. That is on a light mode.Thank you all for thinking Miss Lydia might be the right one for me. But I will like to clarify that we are just friends. The pictures you saw were not rea

But when you are no longer with the one you like, your heart starts to ache badly.Kevin looked across the other side of the restaurant as he saw a family of three eating together. The father, mother, and a grown-up guy probably around his age.He felt bleak, as he sighed deeply, thoughts eroding his mind. A different form of sadness, wanting to make him feel unhappy. He has always wished his family will be like this, but every dream regarding that has faded like a gust of wind, nowhere to be found."Hello sir, will you like to order something?" The warm voice of the waiter brought Kevin out of his thoughts, as he looked up.The waiter handed over the menu as he scanned through it. He smiled noticing
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 66- GETTING TENSE
It is often said that no matter how you hide something, it will one way or the other be exposed, even if it will be slightly.It can be said that Joy probably made the wrong decision by volunteering to be with Andrew, to help him with moving. It was more like a stance to increase the magnetic strength of her feelings.She helped with moving his stuff to his new apartment. For the first time, Joy complemented Andrew for his nice taste.The apartment had a small sitting room alongside two bedrooms, toilet and bathroom as one, alongside a well-furnished kitchen. The blue imprint on the sides of the living room even made it more beautiful, coupled with the simple furnishings in the mini house."Thinking about something?" Joy almost screamed, as her heartbeat fast at the sudden voice of Andrew behind her. It almost scared the shit out of her, as she tried to calm down."Well, let me just say I love your taste in the furnishings of this house. Be
