"Goodbye Mrs. Pimentel," we all said. After that, our teacher leave the room with the projects we handed over to her. Finally! I breathed a sigh of relief. The discussion earlier was difficult, I didn't quite understand the geometric and arithmetic sequence. I'm not smart enough when it comes to Math. "Vienna, you come with us? We're going to the mall," Samantha said as she headed in my direction. She's the classroom president and she's pretty but I don't like the way she acts in front of me. We're not close, she's just approaching me because of my friends. "I'm sorry, my boyfriend is waiting outside. We're also going to the mall, maybe next time Sam," I replied. She seems to be disappointed with what I said but it's not true, I just really don't want to be with her friends. "Hmm okay, so.. next time. I hope your friends will join. Bye Vienna, see you tomorrow." See? that's why I hate her. Why are my friends so handsome? I have girl friends but we are in diff
I woke up because of the sunlight hitting my face, signaling that it was morning. With the speed of time, I can't quite imagine that this will be my first day at school. I'm nervous and scared because I'm just a transferee, I don't know what will happen to me today. I got up and fixed my bed before going to the bathroom and taking a shower. After that, got dressed for more than an hour when I came out of the bathroom. I dried my hair first then put on a hairpin. I also applied a little powder and lip gloss to make my face more presentable. I went out of the room with my bag and went downstairs to eat breakfast with my family. "Good morning mom, uncle, and brother," I greeted them as I reached the dining area. "Good morning honey, how's your sleep? Your brother said you're still playing piano and guitar last night." I suddenly looked at my brother when mom said that but he didn't even react. How did he know? my room
VIENNA'S POVTherese and I arrived at the cafeteria. She volunteered to buy the food and I was the one to find a vacant table but I couldn't find anything. But someone suddenly called me, when I looked back it was Britt with Enzo and the guy who I didn't still know his name.Britt got up from his seat and headed in my direction. All the students looked at us. Are they famous here? why is it like that he draws attention?"There's no empty table, just sit at our table." I looked in Therese's direction but she shook her head violently which surprised me. I just mouthed why? then she looked at the girls who were currently looking at me badly."Let's go Vienna? don't be ashamed of us.""Britt thank you, Vienna and I will just eat on the bench. Vienna, this is your food." Save by the bell, it's a good thing that she bought already.I took the food that Theres
"Vienna, where shall we wait for Michelle?" Therese asked. The two of us are currently walking down the hallway going to the cafeteria. We had just finished our three classes and earlier, my eyes searching for Sebastian but he didn't attend the class. I don't know why I'm looking for him?"We'll have Michelle with us for lunch later. She's busy on the council right now, you know she's the Vice President, right?" I answered."Ahh is that so.. Oh! I forgot something," she said. But she suddenly slapped her forehead which surprised me. I wondered why she did that but she immediately took her phone from her bag."Why? What's the problem?" I asked, confused."The new cover song by VnM will be released now," she said happily. So she's one of my listeners? I secretly smiled. This time, it looks like I'll let her know about my secret. After all, she's my friend."You know what Vienna, yo
VIENNA'S POVThere was nothing else that happened on weekends but I'm still on the topic on social media. And Tine is always saying sorry to me through text, messenger, Facebook, and even email. I have no idea how he found out my social media accounts and number. But I think because of my brother and you know what, when I came home on Friday, he didn't stop pestering me, even though it was time for me to go to bed. He only stopped pestering me when he was not at home because of soccer practice.I just found out from Therese by Sunday morning that the story about me and Tine has been posted on social media. There are a lot of students that are against it even though it's not true. Everyone posted on their Facebook walls about me and Tine. I don't even care about that but it's annoying. That's why I've decided to deactivate all my social media accounts because of Tine’s fans.This day, Monday in the morning, the Club Fair starts and I'm losing my interest to
VIENNA'S POV The next day, registration at the Music Club was closed because of the increase of the participants. So, the others regretted it and were sad. It's just unfair because the most deserving student to pass the club can't join just because of Sebastian's fans. They didn’t think well before they joined. I only bring my guitar now, there are no more classes and the event will continue. I wanted to practice in a quiet place so, I thought I would go to the Music Department. I already asked permission and it was fine for me to go there to get some practice. I like wearing a hat now, the cap that Britt gave me yesterday plus the weather was hot so, I need it now. I got to the Music Department and I arrived just right because there was no one here. I put down my guitar first and went in the direction of the grand piano. I sat in the chair in front of it. I just wanted to play and I miss using it. (Song playing: Crazier by Taylor Swift) I stopped playing when someone clapped behi
VIENNA'S POV I didn’t go to school the next day not because I was avoiding something but because I was going to take some practice all day. After what happened, I didn't stay at university for long, I went home immediately before lunch. The photo of me with Sebastian has spread on social media and has also become a topic of conversation at the university. I’m just here now in my room, practicing. I already know the song but I just repeat it to become perfect. I'm with my brother now, his practice will be later at 1 pm and mom and uncle are already at work. "Vienna..." I turned around when the door suddenly opened, it was my brother. "Yes?" I answered. "It's time to eat, lunch is ready downstairs," he said but I shook my head, I'm not hungry yet. "You're not going to university?" he asked and I shook my head again in response. "Vienna, stay away from Sebastian." I turned to him and looked at him, confused. "Why? that guy didn't do anything bad to me, why should I avoid him?" I a
TINE'S POV After we ate dinner, I invited Vienna to the garden so that I could talk to her and everything would be clear to me. I was wondering a while ago, mom had met Vienna before but why didn't I meet her on Vince's birthday? How come? I was at the celebration. I know that only Vienna can answer that. She was sitting on a swing, I knew she was thinking and I saw the curiosity in her eyes earlier. My mom still remembers her but she doesn't. Even though it's been a long time, I still remember what happened at the party. I sat on the vacant swing and looked at her but she was looking away. What happened to her before? why does she seem to remember nothing? "Vienna, is it okay to ask you some questions?" I asked, she nodded in response. "If mom has met you before, how come I didn't know you and you don't remember them?" I asked but she didn't answer immediately. With the depth of her thoughts, I can already see the sadness in her eyes. "Vienna, did something happen before? Can y
It has been my dream for a long time to sing on a stage and many people are watching. When I was young I learned to play any instrument and sing any kind of music. I fell in love with it because of my dad, he was the one who influenced me to sing and play. Because of him I composed and covered songs, and participated in auditions until I became a famous singer.My dream is to become a famous musician like the artists I admire in the music field. I also want to feel loved and admired by many people. But from the time my dad got sick until he lost his life, all my dreams disappeared from my mind. I want to fulfill that with him but now that my dad is gone, I don't want to pursue my dreams anymore. And because of what happened, I came to a decision not to tell the public about my true identity. I did that because of dad, because of him I did those things.But now, I dared to introduce myself and tell everyone who I really am. I'm not afraid anymore and I won't be affected by whatever the
------AFTER 3 DAYS-----(MUSIC CONTEST)"Vienna...""Yes brother RJ?" I asked. We're here now backstage, he's the only one with me here. After Michelle and Therese fixed me up, they suddenly left and I don't know where they were going."Are you okay? You've been quiet there for a while.""I'm fine brother, I'm just a little nervous.""Don't be nervous, we are here to support you. You can do it," he said with a smile. "I'm going out for a while, I just have to call someone.""Alright brother." When he left, I suddenly let out a deep breath. I'm nervous but I'm sure I can do it.This is the day I've been waiting for the most, the day where I will confess and tell in front of many people who I really am. I don't know what the outcome will be but this is the right time for me to introduce myself to the public. I'm afraid of what might happen but there's no turning back. I can do it for myself and for the people I love."Vienna.." I immediately turned around when I heard Michelle's voice.
SEBASTIAN'S POVNone of us tried to speak, I just looked down while she was looking at me since earlier. I don't know what to say, I still can't believe I saw her."I'm sorry, son.." My tears started to fall because of the last thing she mentioned. I waited a long time to hear that word from her again."I know I hurt you and I hurt your dad, but I hope you can forgive me for what I did," she said crying. I immediately wiped my cheek before looking up at her."I've forgiven you but I still can't forget what you did. You hurt not only dad but also me, your son. I hope you understand if I'm still mad at you," I replied, making her silent. "But now that I'm in front of you, it seems like my anger towards you has gradually disappeared," I added. A bitter smile appeared on her lips and she immediately grabbed my hand that tighten my chest.I really wanted to hug her but I couldn't. I missed her, I missed my mother."I understand why you're still mad at me until now. But thank you, thank you
"Mom... I'm sorry," I cried while hugging my mom. She gently pull me to face her and she immediately wiped my tears. I missed her, I missed my mom."You don't have to say sorry, it's not your fault, my daughter. I'm the one who should apologize to you. I'm sorry sweetie, I hope you can forgive me for what I did.""I forgave you a long time ago and I'm not mad at you anymore." Tears started to flow from her eyes because of what I had said. I know this is what she wants to hear from me, to forgive her for what she has done. Yes, I still can't forget what she did to my dad, what she did to me, but she deserves to be forgiven. I was not the only one who was hurt by what happened, but she was also hurt. She's my mom, she's all I have and I don't want to lose her from my life.***"Vienna, take care here, and don't forget to take care of yourself. We will miss you, my child," said sister Fely as she hugged me tightly."I'll miss you too, take care of yourselves. I love you all so much," I s
"Bro, is there anything else I need to do? Is there anything missing?" Britt asked as he took himself a video."Yes, please take the balloons from my room and bring them here," replied Sebastian who was busy arranging the food on the table. Enzo, on the other hand, is also busy putting up decorations and other things."Copy that sir," Britt said and saluted like a soldier. He also left and went to Sebastian's room. When he got to the room, he also immediately looked for where the plastic of balloons was kept."Sebastian has to be thankful, I love him but my friend loves him more. It's different when you're in love, you'll do everything just to make the person you love happy," Britt said while facing the camera. When he arrived at his friend's studio, he immediately gave Sebastian the balloons he took."Take me with you in the video, bro, it seems like only your face will be seen there," said Enzo. Sebastian laughed because of what he said. Britt couldn't stop throwing stones at Enzo.
VIENNA'S POV------FLASHBACK------"How did you know I was here?" I asked when he entered the house. But he was surprised when he saw me, he didn't know I was there but he immediately hugged me tightly which I didn't expect."How are you? Are you okay? Did anything bad happen to you?" he asked after hugging me. But I didn't answer him and just looked at his whole face. It was obvious in his eyes that he was tired and lacked sleep. It's like my heart is squeezed because of my brother's appearance now. I couldn't help but blame myself, he became like that because of me."I'm fine, don't worry about me. How are you? Have you finished your exams?" I emotionless replied. But suddenly a smile appeared on his lips because of what I said.I don't hate them anymore, I just really don't want to see them after what happened. But I have gradually forgiven them, it's just not that easy for me to forget and accept what they did. They not only broke my trust but also the trust that Sebastian had giv
SEBASTIAN'S POVIt had been four days since Vienna know the whole truth. Until now I still remember what happened that day and until now I still haven't seen her. Even though she stopped me from looking for her, I didn't stop. When she answered my call, I had hoped that I could fix the situation. But suddenly it disappeared when she said that she didn't want to see me yet."I don't want to see you yet.. so please leave me alone for now. I'm sorry."I still haven't stopped finding her despite what she said. But I suddenly remembered what I did 3 years ago. I looked for her everywhere, even though I was hurt during those times because of her loss and my mom left me, I still didn't stop. But days, weeks, months, and years passed, then I realized that she had left me and she would never come back. But after 3 years, she came back but she doesn't remember me. Now that she knows who I am, will I give up and stop looking for her?I admit I've given up a few times, I've been discouraged a few
"Ma'am Vienna, are you all right?" I slowly looked up and wiped my tears."Why are you crying?" She asked worriedly."I'm fine sister, don't worry about me. I just remembered something that's why I cried but I'm really fine," I replied and forced her to smile."I hope you're all right, ma'am. Just call me if you need anything." I just nodded in response and sister Riza immediately left. But my tears fell again when I remembered what I had read earlier. That happened 4 days ago, he admitted that he was Martin but because I was hospitalized, I didn't know it right away. If I had only known this right away, we wouldn't have gotten into this situation where we were both hurting each other. But it's too late, I don't know if I can get back what we had before or not.She's already here, I need to prepare myself for whatever she's going to say."Vienna sweetie, it's good that you're fine. Where did you go? Uncle Lucas and I looked for you-""You act as if you haven't done anything wrong, any
"VIENNA, DON'T JUMP!"I stopped thinking when I heard that voice but I didn't look back. How did he know I was here?"Don't do that, please Vienna I'm begging you to get down there." It's Britt, my friend for a long time but just hurt me."How did you know I was here?" I asked."I will answer your question but first get down there," he answered. I didn't get stubborn anymore, I just went down and looked at him without emotion. Now that I'm facing him and I know who he is in my life, my whole body feels weak. I can't even remember that he was a part of my past."Can you answer my question?""I'm your friend so I know where you go whenever you're hurt and thinking about a problem. I thought you'd forgotten about this place, but you haven't." That's why I felt better when I first came here because of the memories I have of this place. It was a witness to the problems I experienced."Why you lied to me? What bad did I do for you to hide the truth from me?" I asked and tears started to flo
