"I'll do it, Sam!" Emma replied, as she was trying her best not to look to eager and excited.“You made the right decision, Emma. Here, it contains all the information you should know about your first assignment. And I suggest that you should take this job seriously." Samantha enunciated, while handing a folder towards Emma."A Politician's son's Daily Life as a High Schooler?" Emma read the title of the folder, as her brows met in a frown.“That’s right. You see, I heard our teachers talking about a student transferee in our school who is the son of a popular and straight senator. I've thought that we should write an article about him. We want to interview him, but the principal said that we're restricted. And now, it's your job to do an investigation on how does he live his everyday life being a big politician's son. I want you to find out everything about him." Samantha further explains."You mean, stalk them 24/7?" Emma unbelievably asked.Samantha gave Emma a meaningful smile. "
Four hours later.Back at Emma's house. Emma winced as she sat on her bed. The pain in her legs and feet became unbearable and she's just forcing herself to move.Samantha and Emma taught her how to do her make up, and walk in high heels. She's not comfortable with all the gunk on her face. She wants to soak her face in a lukewarm water to remove her make up, but she doesn't have the strength to move anymore.She let herself fall on her bed to take a little break. She then promised herself that she will wash her face and take a shower after five minutes, but she didn't realize that she had already fallen asleep because she was so dead tired...===============================The next day.Emma lazily groaned as she stirred on her bed. She heard her mobile phone ringing non-stop, so she decided to answer the call."Hmm... Hello?" she said in a raspy voice."Based on your voice, you're just about to wake up." Emma's eyes flew open when she heard Samantha's voice from the other line.
The day of Daisy's 18th Party finally arrives.Emma is at Samantha's house right now, as they are getting ready for the party. Samantha's sister, Sandra, who's a College student is helping them with their hair and make-up."Okay, Emma. You can open your eyes now." Sandra advised her.Emma slowly opens her eyes. She lets out an audible gasp when she saw her own reflection at the mirror."So, what do you think about your make-up? Do you like it?" Sandra asked, while looking proud of her work."Wow, is this really me?" Emma unbelievably asked."Of course! I'm sure Darren Haye's jaw will fall halfway to the floor once he sees you!" Samantha reassures her."We can't be sure of that, Sam." Emma said, while shrugging her shoulders."Just act natural. Talk to him in a casual manner and try to observe his character and personality. Just make a draft of your overall observation on him, alright?" Samantha gav
They decided to go to the parking lot to get some fresh air, and to get away from the noise and from the crowd...“So, tell me... Are you trying to get all of our attention by dressing up like that? ” Darren asked, out of the blue.Emma instantly got annoyed by Darren's question."Why, is it a crime to go to a party wearing a dress like this and have some fun? And why are you asking me this kind of question?" she bombarded him with questions."Alright, you don't need to answer my question. I'm sorry if I offended you." Darren apologizes rightaway."Well, I'm not really comfortable with parties like this, anyway. I'm going back home." Emma stated in a matter-of-factly tone.“And who says I’ll let you go home?" Darren suddenly asks her."W-What do you mean?" Emma asked back, while anxiously looking at Darren."I helped you awhile ago, remember? And now, I'm e
"Well, I've got some time. We can talk at the school's cafeteria." Emma instantly agrees."Great. Then, after you, please." Darren smilingly said.After a few minutes, they are finally sitting face to face at the school cafeteria. Good thing that the cafeteria is almost empty."So, what do you want to talk about?" Emma suddenly asked, after taking a sip from her soda can."We should go out on a date just for the show." suggested Darren."Oh, alright. What do you have in mind?""Hmm, I'm actually thinking of going to the bowling alley where the kids from Palmridge High usually hangout. They should see us together so they'll believe that we're a couple." Darren relayed Emma his plan."That's cool for me. But how long are we going to pretend as a couple?" Emma suddenly inquired."I was thinking until the girls stops pestering me..." Darren enunciated."By the way, I hope you don't mind but can
The next day..."I'm done with the first draft! Finally!" Emma excitedly announced, after she presses the save button on her laptop.It took her five agonizing hous to finish her first draft, but it went well in the end.After printing the article, she quickly went to her bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Afterwards, she changed from her pajamas to her everyday clothes.After she printed her article, she quickly brewed another fresh cup of coffee. As she's waiting for the coffee to boil, she hurriedly went to the bathroom to do a quick shower.With a light feeling and happy mood, Emma went towards the dining room to join her family for breakfast."Good morning, everyone!" she chirped at the people at the table."Good morning, dear sister! Looks like you're in a good mood today, huh?" Emilie smilingly greeted her."Yeah! Where's Dad and Mom?" Emma curiously asks, as she realized that her sisters Emilie and Emilia ar
Emma's heart went out for her, as she looks really regretful and apologetic."I know that it was all an accident, and it was not your intention to put my article into printing. There's nothing we can do now, but I'll have to take full responsibility for this." she finally gave in."What happened, Emma? Would you like to talk about it?" Samantha inquired, while looking concerned."Samantha... I think I'm in love with Darren Hayes. The reason why I asked you not to print my article about him is because I want to tell him everything myself... I don't want to hurt and betray the person that I truly love."Emma finally confesses, as she starts to break down and cry."Oh, Emma... I really don't know what to say. But one thing's for sure... It's not a bad thing to fall inlove with someone. You must be thinking that you're such a bad person for leading him on, but if he also loves you, he will find forgiveness in his heart." Samamtha rela
Six months quickly passed by.Emma took a deep breath, while looking at the boxes full of her things inside the truck. She's going to move to another place for University. She's going to start her College life in another city, and she's opening a new chapter of her life.She decided to move somewhere else to forget what has happened to her in the recent months...She will miss her parents, her siblings, and everything about the Albreicht House! She will miss everything about this place. The people, the atmosphere, and well, she will miss everything and everyone here!She will also miss everyone at Palmridge High. She never told everyone about her plan to move to another place. She doesn't want to bother them, as she wants to start everything from the scratch."Goodbye to my old life... Goodbye, everyone... And goodbye, Darren Hayes..." Emma whispered to herself.==============================After four years..
Danielle gave Brent one last look, then afterwards, she started buying her own food since she is in a hurry.==============================Nighttime came. Danielle is currently at her apartment. She's lying in her bed, and she's been staring at her bedroom's ceiling for almost half an hour now. Her mind can still remember the scene that happened at Palmridge University Cafeteria during lunchtime. She can vividly remember on how Dale and the two girls mockingly teases the poor student, who just wants to peacefully eat his lunch so that he can go ahead to his next class.But before the bullies could let him quietly eat his lunch, they demanded him to finish their Humanities project on their behalf. And the poor student agrees in the end just to protect himself.What's more disappointing to her is Brent Montreal didn't say nor do anything to help his fellow. He just sat there just watching everything.She never thought that Brent is such a bully, and he looks like he didn't care at all
The next day.Danielle and the rest of the gang are currently lining up to buy food at the University's Cafeteria. While waiting for her turn, she roamed her eyes around the place. The place is jam-packed with students. She's already starving, and she feels like she can eat a whole cow.She saw Brent who was hanging out with his own group. Dale was there, and there were two girls chatting with them. The girls are both equally beautiful, even with heavy make up. Both of the girls are wearing sexy clothes, and many male students are looking at their direction. But the girls didn't seem to care being the center of attention...Dianne feels her stomach growl again, as she's really hungry. She only ate a light breakfast early in the morning, then afterwards, she didn't eat anything because she was busy attending her classes.The other problem is, she only has 25 minutes left to eat before her afternoon classes begins. She groans inwardly when she realizes her current situation.Her attentio
Danielle saw Clark and Samantha behind them."Sure. Come and join the fun." she invited them."Oh my gosh, please allow me to tell you that I subscribed to your video channel, and I followed you in all of your social media accounts. I felt a bit sad when you suddenly deactivated all of your accounts." Abigail said it all in one breath, while looking excited. "Just like what you heard earlier, I was once active on social media for I stopped and I've decided to focus on my studies." Samantha casually pronounced. There was an awkward silence after Samantha spoke. Danielle noticed that Paul, Abby and Clark were just staring at Samantha, and they obviously looks intimidated by her. Daniel noticed that Samantha really didn't want to open up to them yet, and she understands it. Anyway, this is just the first day of school, and she's not expecting to know all about them in just one day. They will be studying for four more years and will be in the same school together, so there's no need to
Danielle quickly sprints away, as if she is in a marathon. At the same time, Brent couldn't help himself but to smile as he watches Danielle running away, until she was finally out of his sight. "Hey, what's with that smile?" Dale curiously asks him. "Oh, nothing. Let's go back to practice or else our Coach might scold us." Brent replied, as his smile never leaves his face. While they were running around in the field kicking some balls, Brent's mind is still flying elsewhere. He can't help himself but to think about Danielle. She looks like a very cool, friendly and interesting girl...And part of his mind says that he wants to see her often, and get to know her better."What are you dilly-dallying for, Brent? Let's go and let's kick some balls!" their Coach yells at him."Yes, coach!" Brent answered, as he finally focuses all of his attention to their practice...=========================The Freshmen Orientation has officially begun. The batch 2023 of the Department of Performing
Danielle Rance breathes in a gulpful of morning crisp air as she's making her way inside the campus grounds of Palmridge University. This is her first day at being a College student and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night. But that's okay. She's full of energy today, and every fibre of her body feels fully awake...She roamed her eyes around while she is walking. She is making her way at a straight, wide road. She admires the beautiful trees which are all lined up at the side of the road. She also saw wooden benches where few of the students are sitting, while doing their own thing. She can see some group of students who are having their usual chat, and she saw some campus couple who are openly flirting at each other in broad daylight. And some students are fooling around, just having clean fun...Aside from that, there were some varsity players who are doing their morning exercises.Danielle feels like she's dreaming, and she can't believe that she's finally a stude
"And I'm taking note on that as well." Kael murmured, in an amused manner. "This might be a stupid question, sweetheart, but please, I want you to answer this... Did you ever wished that I should go on for a cosmetic surgery to remove this birthmark on my face?" Ellysse uddenly asked. "That thought never occured to me at all, Ellysse. You are perfect as you are, and I fell inlove with you just the way you are. I would never change anything about you." Kael instantly answered. "Wow, that's so sweet. I think I'm falling more inlove with you." Ellysse teasingly responded. "And why did you suddenly asked that question? Are you planning to do it?" Kael curiously asks again. "It did enter my mind, because I want you to have a gorgeous-looking wife that you could show off to your friends. And I don't want them to look down on you." Ellysse shared her thoughts. "If you want to make some changes to yourself, do it because you want to, and don't do it for the sake of other people. I want a
"I promise to love Kael, Mom. I can't say forever since we don't know what will happen in the future. But I can assure you that I will never ever hurt him." Ellysse seriously enunciated. "And that's all I need to know." Autumn smilingly said, while looking relieved. They both went back on eating their lunch, but Autumn suddenly thought of something... "Oh, I'm just a bit curious, but--- are you and Kael already talking about getting married right after you graduate from Palmridge University?" Ellysse almost choked on her pasta when she heard her question. She immediately drank water first before answering the question. "We haven't talked about it. We were just living at the present time, and we haven't talked about our future right after College." she confessed. "I'm sorry if I asked you that question, Ellysse. But there's no need to rush. My husband and I waited for eight years before we decided to get married. You're both still young so you still have a long and bright future
She can feel their warmth, and they welcomed her with open arms... She feels so loved. "Thank you so much... I'm sure I will like all of them." Ellysse said, as she's trying her best not to cry. "Alright, let's all sit down and start with a prayer first." Kael's father suggested. Kael and Ellysse sat next to each other, and started praying first... ================================= The four of them are now having a hearty meal while they are happily chatting. "So, tell me. How did you meet each other?" Mrs. Oakes started asking questions. "We actually met at Palmridge University. We are in the same class. I was trying to avoid having a deeper relationship with other people because of my skin condition, but Kael always makes sure to talk to me everyday until I'm starting to warm up little by little." Ellysse recounted her first meeting with Kael. "And when did you officially become a couple?" Mrs. Oakes did a follow-up question. "Oh, it wasn't that long, but we were able to kno
"I can't believe this is happening to me! I've never been in a relationship before, and you're my first girlfriend. I really don't know how to be a great boyfriend but we'll make this work, right?" Kael nervously asks her. "You're also my first romance, Kael. But we'll do this one step at a time. I'm not really dreaming of a perfect relationship but whatever happens, we'll be together through thick and thin." Ellysse tries to reassure her boyfriend. "Yes, we will. So, can we seal our deal with a kiss?" Kael said, while smiling sheepishly. "I thought you'd never ask." Ellysse whispered. Their lips met again for another sweet round of kiss... ================================ Every students at Pamridge University are looking at Kael and Ellysse while they are walking together, while holding hands. They are aware that the their fellow students are talking about them, but they don't give a damn. As long as their not hurting anyone, they are free to love each other. Ellysse is also
