OLIVER DOEOliver is looking around, while feeling awkward. He's not really good with these kind of parties, but he had to attend the party to see the woman he loves.But he can feel the huge gap between the rich and the middle-class people. The rich ones have all the money in the world, and they don't care if they can cause any inconveniences to the middle-class or to the people living below the poverty line...Oliver drank his wine in one shot, and got one more glass of champagne from the passing waiters.He firmly held his champagne glass when he finally saw his beloved, Amanda Montserrat, who's walking side by side with his soon-to-be-husband, Emmett Albreicht.He is feeling so jealous right now and he feels so small because he is nothing compared to the hotel millionaire. But he is not giving up easily. If Amanda will tell him that she still loves him, he will do everything and anything he can to fight for their love.But if she tells him she doesn't love him anymore, then he is
Lara is walking aimlessly at a very dark place. She doesn't have any idea where she is but she mustered all of her courage to keep on walking, hoping that she will see a light that will guide her out from the dark... But the question is, how did she end up in this place?"What am I doing here?" she wondered aloud.Lara stops walking when she suddenly heard a voice, not far from where she is standing."Please help me, Lara..."Who could be calling her?Lara gulps an imaginary lump on her throat before she decided to speak."W-Who are you?" she bravely asked while she's still standing at the middle of the dark...Lara suddenly squinted her eyes when a big spotlight lightens up the whole place. And when her eyes have finally adjusted to the light, her eyes widened in utter shock when she realized that Amanda Montserrat is standing infront of her!"Amanda? Is it really you?" she unbelievably exclaimed."Lara, I need your help. I really don't know what happened to my soul, and why you're
"Just answer my question, Emmett." insisted Lara/Amanda."It's not hard to love you, Amanda... Actually, I've been meaning to ask you this eversince you woke up from that coma but----I feel like you're not the same Amanda that I used to know. You feel something different about you." Emmett answered, while frowning."What do you mean?" Lara/Amanda asked again."I like this new version of you. To tell you the truth, I can feel your warmth, I can feel that you're showing me your real and honest feelings. Before the accident, you felt a bit cold, distant and guarded. I really don't know what happened, but I'm starting to fall in love with you as days, weeks and months go by..." Emmett smilingly pours out his real feelings."Oh, Emmett... I'm not the same woman that you knew." Lara/Amanda said, while looking teary-eyed."W-What do you mean by that?" Emmett asked in confusion.And before Lara/Amanda could answer, she suddenly felt a dizzying spell, then afterwards, her eyesight went totall
Chapter Twenty-Five:After a few moments.As soon as Lara/Amanda reaches home and as soon as she steps inside her bedroom, she let herself fall unto the bed and closed her eyes. She doesn't have any idea on why she feels so exhausted and sleepy. She's thinking that maybe she's been mentally, emotionally and physically tired with everything that happened to her.She's hoping, wishing and praying that she'll be able to complete her mission so that she can go back to her normal life and to her own body as well. But for now, she doesn't want to think about anything else. She wants to have a deep sleep, and she will think about her next plan tomorrow.She immediately drifted into a deep slumber.=============================="Oh, good heavens! She's opening her eyes! She's finally awake!"Lara groaned inwardly when she heard that voice. She feels so thirsty, and her whole body feels so sore and stiff as if she participated in
After fifteen years...Emilie Albreicht took a deep calming breath as she awaits for the facilitator to reveal the last word that she needs to spell out. If she gets the right spelling, she will be this year's grand winner of Saint Therese's High Spelling Bee.She has been the winner of this prestigious Spelling Bee ever since her freshmen year, and now that she's in her last year of high school, she wants to win the grand price again. She doesn't want to mess up with her winning streaks, so that's why there's no room for any mistakes.Emilie lets out a small smile towards her parents, Mr. Emmett and Mrs. Lara Albreicht. Her two sisters are also at the event. Her family looked so excited and hopeful, while her sisters are giving her a "thumb's-up" sign.Her parents' and her fraternal sisters's support means a lot to her. They are her number one supporter and she feels more confident."Here is the final word that you need to spell, Miss Albrei
Her classmates didn’t even congratulate her for winning the Spelling Bee! She sacrificed her sleeping time for the passed few weeks because she really wanted to win.Why does everyone like Jayden? Why does he always take the spotlight? Why does he always get all the recognition?"This is so unfair!" Emilie whispered to herself, while giving him an evil look.She can't really help herself but to feel sad because of her situation right now...She and Jayden were childhood friends, and their friendship took the wrong turn when he started getting popular on their sophomore year in high school.Her parents and Jayden's parents, Mr. John Doe and Amanda Doe are best of friends as well. They really don't know what's happening between her and Jayden, and she wants to keep it that way to avoid any questionings from their parents. The only ones who knows about her rift with Jayden are her sisters, and her girl best friend, Claire..."We kne
"Alright, Claire. I hope you get well as soon as possible. It's so boring at school when you're not around." Emilie stated."I hope I can recover soon. I also miss going to school." Claire responded.After a few minutes, their phone conversation is over.Emilie wanted to rest but she couldn't do so because she still needs to study. She can't afford to waste any more time. There is no time for her to relax. If she wants to be the Valedictorian, she needs to make some sacrifices for a better future. She is sure that she will thank herself in the future. She aims to be successful in everything that she do.She gently slaps her cheeks to make herself awake, then afterwards, she opened her book and notebook. After a few minutes, she's already concentrating on her studies...=========================A few days later.Emilie forced herself to go to school even if she's feeling under the weather today. She can
Emilie and and her best friend Claire are currently waiting inside St. Therese's gymnasium. Their classmates are still at the Locker Rooms to change into PE uniforms. Both of them were the first ones to finish changing, so that's why they are now waiting at the gym. While they are waiting, Emilie decided to tell Claire what happened between her and Jayden yesterday..."Whaaat?! Jayden saw that "monthly stain" on your skirt? What did you do? And what did he do?" Claire started bombarding Emilie questions.Emilie rolled her eyes heavenward, then puts her attention back to her bestfriend."I'm not yet finished with my story and you're overreacting like this. Just listen to me and let me finish first, okay?""Oh, sorry... So what happened next?" Claire encourages Emilie to continue.Emilie lets out a big sigh before she continues on with her story."Well, he asked me if I'm alright and I said yes. His facial expression kinda looks weird at
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
