*******
Amidst the whispering students, the ringing bells, and the bright red roses, I was walking to my classroom. The sunlight was brighter today or maybe it was just me feeling better. After Remo shared his past, we talked to darkness. We only spoke of good things. It was a special duration, it felt like I wasn't this ugly girl who had issues bigger than her life no more Like I was the most blessed person on the earth. He made me feel good, he made me feel beautiful. Something that I would never believe myself to be. He reminded me of the goodness of humans. Making me contemplate if he was like that with everyone else.
'Does he tell everyone what happened to him in the past? Or it was just me. Am I special t

"You will make it soon whatever you are wishing for. Just keep believing in yourself." [Ifveen] ******* "Really?" Her black eyes gleamed in excitement and she nodded hurriedly. "Yes Really. I don't know why, but I feel like we are going to rock." My forehead creased, as I questioned her sanity in my mind. Why would she think I can rock, I the boring nerd, what could I possibly create that would be rocking. I wanted her to be aware of what kind of person I am. No matter from what kind of foundation our friendship started, what matters now was she should have a cl

Dance your sorrows away." [Jacqueline] ……. [Jacqueline's POV] The teacher chose to stand on the stage while everyone else stood down discussing things with each other. There were a total of 40 students, which automatically led to the division of twenty couples. If we analyzed each pair, Almost every paired boy was tall while the girl paired with him was short. Now it made sense as to why the teacher chose me and Rohan as a pair. Because of our height difference. We stood there in four rows each since I and Rohan had entered the Auditorium. At last, we were standing at the back too. Tina and her partner were standing adjacent to our position and honestly, she looked bored. Even though she was a student who lived for extracurricular activities like dance. It was perhaps for the reason that she was not happy with her partner. Her partner seemed very happy with

"All my life, I never wanted any love from myself but others and now I am an utterly empty vase."[Jacqueline] I took a few deep breaths to calm myself, readying myself mentally for another twirling. "Forget Everything Jacqueline. Forget that you are here. Just pretend you are in your room, dancing on your favorite beats and nobody is watching you." Roman said huskily, looking at me with a sincerity that I never thought he was able to have. I exhaled and closed my eyes. "Help me." He chuckled, the voice that fell in my ears today felt delighting. Something that I would like to hear again. "That's what I have been doing since the last 10 Minutes baby." My eyes flew open at his endearing words, gazing in his dark pools. 'Did he just call me, baby?' 'Something that Remo calls me.' "What did you just call me?" I asked looking up at him, he was too tall and by now my neck was hurting from

"Look down at your acne filled skin, it's not ugly. It's real. And real things are supposed to look real." [Jacqueline][Jacqueline's POV]I walked over to my respective seat and ignored the boy who seemed to be following me like a lost puppy. Sitting down I realized he sat on the seat of Nina. Our seat. My expression immediately turned sour, and I glared at him."This is not your seat." I would have yelled at him, if not for the audience we had. It was as if he was a superstar because everywhere he walked there were eyes following him. And I hated attention even more than I hated Tina.He shrugged his shoulders innocently, his eyes though seemed like shining.

"The only people you should care about should be the people who know the real horrors of your life." [Jacqueline]*******[Jacqueline's POV]The embarrassment took over me and washed my nerves into a nervous wreck. Even my ears were burning in shame. I hated the way his eyes shined with interest sparkling under the white light of the classroom. I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it. I patted my cheeks and pulled my hands back to the knees. Rohan however smiled uncontrollably and cupped my hand in his warm ones under the table. I pinched him from the other hand but he didn't let go."Let go of my hand Rohan.""Nope Cinderella." He muttered quietly and ignored me. I pinched him again, he just hissed and didn't even look at me. His eyes observing the surroundings. Scrutinizing everyone. Few of the classmates were looking our way, with disgust, and surprise in their eyes. My eyes followed his and I caught Nina Grinning at us while showing a thumbs u

"When you start to get to know someone from the heart, you can recognize their moods, their essence without them telling you about it." [Jacqueline] ******* [Jacqueline's POV] After the teacher let me off the hook with a warning. I sat back down on the seat and glared at Rohan who in turn rolled his eyes at me mouthing 'it's no big deal.' My mind raced with anger. I was not the person who was even scolded once by the teacher. Neither I was the kind of student who won't pay attention to her classes. My biggest dream was to either die or perhaps get away from my home which was only possible if I could make myself something in life. Someone who can pay for her life. Someone who can gain freedom. This was the first time I was scolded by a teacher just because of him. I felt my eyes stung with tears. "You m

"Every human needs a friend, someone who can curse the people who hurt you more than you do, someone who will want to hurt the people who hurt you more than you do, someone who will make you laugh in situations you know nothing other than crying, someone who can listen to your nonsense overthinking imaginations. Just someone!"[Jacqueline] [Jacqueline's POV] I grew up hearing the admonition that friends are the root of all evil, that your company will decide who you are going to be. Today, however, my perception changed. Friends, in and of themselves, are neither evil nor good; it is only what happens with us once we make friends that what qualities we absorb from them. But friends can be a bubble of happiness, for maintaining our happy lives. We need to have friends to keep us alive and not just simply living a boring life. Rohan was livid at her response."

"Sooner or later, you will find your way!" [Remo] ******* [Remo's POV] My level of frustration was at its peak today, no matter how much I tried to stay calm. It wasn't helping in anyway. Granted I do have confined patience, but staying in the sunlight as one and another girl play hard to get has sent me back into the rage I was trying to control. I stared up at the building of my school, the front although painted in red still appeared darker than red, almost maroon. Even with the sunlight, it didn't shine. But I hoped at least my future would! I was at the top position of the school, the head boy. Perhaps there was a time when I wasn't the best but I was one now and it has served me well. Remo D'souza was the perfect student, star singer of the school band. But he wasn't still what I wanted him to be. I wanted to be at the top of my city, or maybe the world. I craved stardom. I needed it to s

Dear Readers, In the last few chapters, I made a mistake and Nina and Tina's names were swapped. I apologize for that, please remember wherever you see Tina behaving nicely with Jacqueline, that just means it's her friend Nina, not that bully Tina. Hope you have a good time reading it.

"Forgiving a person, who is not at all apologetic is good for yourself. But giving the same person a chance to hurt you again, is the worst thing you will do to yourself." [Jacqueline]*******[Jacqueline]It's been Four days since I and Remo talked, he didn't send me any messages, nor did I. His words, even though he didn't say them, were still ringing in my ears. It was a feeling I didn't want to feel again. Though I did have thought about his words and concluded that he was just being brutally honest with me. And it wasn't like he said it because he wanted to hurt me, it was me who pushed him to answer me like that. "Hey who are you dreaming about?"Rohan questioned me, with furrowed brows. He had been missing school for a few days. It was a surprise for him to come to school today. I didn't think he would come today. Now that I looked at him, he looked rather haggard. "No one, you tell me where have you been these past days?" I questioned him back. His fingers are drumming on
Her Facebook Friend. Time Pass?
There was no future of mine with them, my paternal cousins, yet I loved them with all my heart. They were bad most of the time in all of the memories we had. There was this once when the same girl who Remo identified as I used her foot to make me fall from three feet high stairs. I remember it very vividly, I think we were playing run and catch. Where she had to catch one of us, between me and my sister. And since it was her second time as the one to catch someone. She was angry to the point she pushed me down. Of course, the damage wasn't that great. I got wounded on my knees and elbows since the place where I fell was an area of small stones.Mom at that time wasn't depressed. So she raised a question against my paternal aunt and demanded that my cousin Jenny apologize to me. However, the arrogant aunt took it as a threat and made a drama out of nothing. First, she was adamant about how her daughter didn't push me, and I was lying which proved to be a wrong move. Since the people in

Jacqueline: "Well, I thought you don't want to talk to me, since you never replied to my apology."Remo: "What are you talking about? I forgot about it a long time ago."Jacqueline: "Then maybe you could have texted me."Remo: "I assumed that you were busy, so I didn't."Jacqueline: "Oh, okay. I get it."There was a strange pause in my breathing, I did not know why I felt like he didn't miss me. Because if he would have, he would have texted me. Without giving it much thought, I asked him directly."So, Did you miss me?""Nope."His response saddened me to the point I asked myself if I even meant something to him. Or was I just a time pass? 'You are thinking too much Jacqueline, it's just your insecurities playing with you.' My reasonable side gave me a reason that I did feel somewhat acceptable. So instead of telling him how I am feeling. I asked him a single question just to kill my curiosity. Jacqueline: "Why?"Remo: "Well, I was pretty busy."Jacqueline: "Oh. Okay. I understand.
Her Facebook Friend. Dance Performance/Remo's Text
"Don't make one person; Your everything. Instead invest in your goals, dreams." [Jacqueline]********[Jacqueline]Sweat was ticking down my back. The nervousness I felt today was like pressing me to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. Finally, I heard the title track play out. We were lined up just behind the curtains all dolled up on our stance. Our dance teacher was a complete sucker for this show and so she was instructing us to perform well from the last fifteen minutes. It was a big day for her, and I thought it would be a big day for me as well. After all, this would be the first performance of my life. I never did anything that involved stage.Of course, I had my insecurities about messing it all up but t

"A Bad guy with trust issues, will love you more." [Remo] [Rohan] The day was finally here. Today was the massive annual function day. And I was looking forward to dancing with Jacqueline. After those gruesome practice sessions where she practically pressed my ankle with her weight millions of times before learning the right step. I was her counselor for days and I should not have been thinking about her; there should be rules against that kind of thought. I believe. But I still did. She was stripping in my dreams and gyrating to a dirty song, eliciting emotions even more than I have. Our families would be attending the function, not that mine would be coming but many students were excited for the same reason. The Celebrations were bound to be grand considering the stage was well equipped and beautiful

"When your mental health isn't in the best state. Give yourself a break. And don't feel guilty about it."[Author] ******* Jacqueline: I felt bad for Tina. Like real bad! But I was sure she didn't need my empathy. I looked at her face once more, she looked terrible. Blood, blood, everywhere on her face. I could feel that her bleeding had not stopped despite her friends filling her nose with tissues. Her friends helped her up as they took her away shouting profanities in a much lower tone than I would have expected from them. Unexpectedly Rohan's head popped in front of me blocking my view of her back. I grabbed the corner of the table to balance myself. Hi

"You have to learn to be alone. Learn to do everything individually, people are going to leave you sooner or later anyway." [Jacky]*******[Jacqueline] It's been three days since Remo talked to me. Aside from sending me a two-word text, after my apology "it's okay" there was nothing. He didn't chat with me. Not even for once, he tried even though he was online most of the time. As if he specifically wanted to show me that he was online, he changed his display picture. I scrolled through his pictures like a souvenir, like trophies on the shelf. Watching as one by one his friends, beautiful girls commented on his pictures and he replied to each one of them nicely. I honestly had no idea what I should do. I wanted to talk to him but I didn't want to come out as a bother. I wanted to ask him if he was still angry, but I didn't know I should. 'Did I say something that touched his borderline?' Sometimes it was better for
