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
And once she closed and locked her room's door, she decided to let herself fall on her bed, and stared at the white ceiling."I'm thankful of what Jayden did for me,but why is everyone making it a big deal? And there's no way we're gonna have a romantic relationship!" she angrily muttered.Ever since Jayden became a popular figure at their school, she feels like he moved so far way from her, living her behind. They were almost inseparable back in their elementary days, and now that they are in high school, they looked like they are total strangers."But everything's totally different now, and there's nothing we can do about it. I'll just give the jacket back to Jayden and move on. Anyway, we're going to graduate soon and we'll be walking on different paths in College." Emilie firmly said to herself.She decided to give back Jayden's jacket at school tomorrow...===========================Weekend finally came."Good morning ever
Emilie feels like her whole face is getting warmer, so she tries to cool herself by drinking a glass of juice straight."Are you alright, sweetheart? You drank the whole glass of juice straight..." Amanda worriedly asks her."Oh, I'm feeling a bit warm and thirsty, Auntie." that was all she can say."Spring is almost over, and summer is now fast approaching. We can feel that it's getting warmer day by day." Lara enunciated.While their mother and Auntie Amanda are busy chatting, Emilia and Emma started giggling."What's so funny?" Emilie snaps at them."You were blushing like a steamed crab awhile ago, Em." Emma answered."And it's all because of Jayden." whispered Emilie."Shut up!" Emilie hushed her sisters."Everyone, the table is now set and ready, so let's go to the dining table for dinner!" Auntie Amanda suddenly announces, much to Emilie's relief. At least her sisters will finally leave her at peace.
"It will give me so much satisfaction when I beat him on our last year in high school..." Emilie responded, while grinning from ear to ear."Okay, whatever you say, bestie..." Claire said, while shaking her head in a helpless manner.The school bell suddenly rang, signalling that their lunchtime is over. Emilie and Claire started putting their lunchboxes inside their mini bags, then they both made their way back to their classroom to get ready for their first class in the afternoon...===================================At the Albreicht Residence.As soon as their family driver parks the car infront of the house, Emilie, Emilia and Emma immediately steps out from the car to go inside and take a rest after a long day at school. The three of them are now climbing upstairs to go to their own rooms to change their uniforms to their normal clothes, when they suddenly stopped when they saw their mother doing something in their guest room. The tripl
The next morning.The sunrise is already lighting up her room, but Emilie is still wide awake. She didn't sleep a wink last night for some unknown reason. She almost tried everything for her to fall asleep last night. She tried drinking a warm glass of milk, she tried doing a bit of exercise to make herself tired, she also tried watching some movies on the television, and last but not the least, she tried reading the most boring book on her bookshelf but she wasn't able to fall asleep.There's no use for her to stay in her bed longer. Eventhough she feels groggy because of her lack of sleep, she forced herself to get up from her bed. She decided to go out to the balcony to breathe in some fresh morning air and maybe it can help her be awake.And just like what she expected, the crisp and fresh morning wind immediately greeted her as soon as she steps out to the balcony. She admired the wonderful view of Sunday morning. She breathes in a gulpful of fresh air and
"Don't you dare back out, Em. You already promised me that we're both going to the Bonfire Night, so you'd better keep your promise!" Claire reminded Emilie, while they are both standing on the other line, with the rest of the students."Don't worry, Claire. I already promised, and my sisters wants me to come with them, too." Emilie made an assurance to her best friend."That's good to know. By the way, I'm going to tell you something later on. I'm planning to do something at the Bonfire Night..." Claire smilingly announces.Emilie curiously frowned, while looking at her best friend."What is it? Is it even legal?""Don't worry, it's not illegal or anything. I'll just tell you about it later at lunch, okay?" Claire said, in mysterious manner.Emilie is excited to know what her best friend is planning to do at the Bonfire Night, but she needs to be patient and wait until lunchtime...============================After a fe
The night of St. Matthew's High Bonfire Event is finally in full swing.All students are all dressed in perfection, and the party venue is amazing.Emilie is wearing a baby blue chic strapless mermaid gown without and crystals or embellishments. Her hair had soft curls and she just decided to let her hair down for a much, simpler look.She smiles when she finally saw her best friend Claire who is walking towards her direction."Hi, bestie! What do you think? Don't I look so pretty?" Claire smilingly announced, as she excitedly twirls around infront of Emilie to show off her dress.Emilie smilingly surveys Claire... She's wearing a red twist front cut out cocktail party dress, with high slit. It was too revealing, but with Claire's oozing confidence, she carried the dress well."You look great, Claire!" she told her."Thanks, Em!" Claire was obviously happy with her comment.Emilie and Claire started hearing excited
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
