A Poem by Sea
People are selfish by nature, silently enjoying the ill-fated decisions by other people
Known as pure white stones behind the tall strong walls but are truly wicked
Innocence and grace are long forgotten after being corrupted
Treachery was present for everybody wants to be on top of the steeple
A group of masked people trying to solve their next moves like a riddle
Fragile like a glass on the outside but they were all the same: tainted
Worshipped by all. They can burn you alive but are still treated like figures who are sainted
None of them were innocent, all are cruel but the townsfolk will always have them as their model
Nothing seems to be making sense in our world because of how it is run by the so-called leader
Castes and inequality would never perish because of Elitist and Social Class
‘Upper, Middle and Lower, bullshit!’ The lower has to endure of whatever is o
The thing I wanted to ask Sea in my dreams never came out of my mouth. It was as if I would always forget them whenever I step into her world. Her world that she made looked so pretty, but later on I found out that it was not all rainbows and butterflies. I will never understand how and why Sea had to act like an “impostor.” What was the issue with her twin sister? Why did she kill herself? She did not even try to tell the others that she was not the Sea they all knew, so everybody thought Sea was really dead. One thing I could not help but remember whenever I close my eyes is that they really do look alike. You would never suspect that someone was the twin of the other because they look like they were one person. I know most twins look alike, but then again, we know one twin would always have something like a birthmark or any form of mark that would tell she’s the other twin, right? But Sea and her twin sister looked the same. It made me question that what if the one who fell, the on
A new school means a fresh start. Now that I’m given a chance to have a better life through being a scholar in one of our country’s best school, I’ll do my best to make my dreams come true. The only thing that actually made me think twice of accepting the scholarship here was my younger cousin who I left at home with our abusive aunt. Although our aunt rarely hurts us anymore because we’re all grown up, still, I can’t believe that I left her there. The feeling of guilt is what keeps me up at night, and I sometimes still think that I might have been so selfish because I still chose to leave her alone.I was interrupted from overthinking again when I felt the door to my new room opened. Oh, right! I remembered that the cute girl who guided me here named Eun told me that I have a roommate, and even told me that my roommate was really one of the most respected students here because of her title and accomplishments despite only being a junior.
Just when I thought that I would be eating alone, a girl who I assume is also Asian came to me and even asked me for my name. I gave her a small smile, admiring her features and her cute mole in the upper part of her lips. She was the type of beauty that I will always notice despite a bunch of people around me.“I’m Nina,” I finally answered when I realized that I was already too busy admiring her. It wasn’t such a known fact, but I had always been interested in girls rather than boys, I don’t even remember a time that I was attracted to guys.She told me that I could sit with them, and I immediately agreed. I didn’t like the idea of eating alone,and she looks like someone who doesn’t have a high profile in this school, so I assume that it’s safe to be with her. When we reached th
There was something dark and mysterious about this school. It was far from what it is showing to the world, it was not all rainbows and butterflies, it was actually far from it. Although there are some facts about it, like how the girls here are well-behaved, but the thing is, the students are only prim proper when the teachers are there, when thre are eyes watching them like a hawk carefully examining its prey, and it’s not because they respect them, but it’s because they are scared of them. I was only observing our classroom, but that was what I already thought about this place.And the favoritism! They would always ask the girls who are of lighter skin colors in a nice way, but always rude to those with a darker skin color. Colorism and Racism is evident, but no one said a thing. They were all aware of all these, but they chose to ignore all of it. It was sad that I wasn’t classmates with my new found friends, because if so, I feel like one of them would
It was dark. I couldn’t see anything because I was blindfolded by a group of girls who I did not have the chance to see their faces. I am beyond angry. I could taste blood because I had been biting my lower lip too hard. I can hear faint voices talking to one another, and I wanted to get this blindfold off me to at least see them. I wanted to see who are these cowards who have to cover my eyes just so they wouldn’t get reported for doing such thing inside the school premises.“Let me go!” I yelled, angry, because all I received were laughter from them. I cursed at myself mentally for not even trying to at least know other people’s voices, because now, I can’t seem to identify anyone. They were all just faceless voices.“We’ll let you go once you at least stay away from our president.”I felt my heard dropped when the girl said that. President? They want me to stay away from Amelia? But isn’t that what I
After what happened that night, I didn’t know how I should be acting around Amelia anymore. I didn’t know if I should keep the cold act or just drop it. I wanted to ask my friends, but I was so scared of what their reaction would be if I ever did act nice towards our enemy.“You’re thinking. What is it?” I heard Eun asking me. She was just laying on my lap and I was not even at all shocked that she was observing me. It was one of her amazing traits, she was a good observer, so good that she’ll notice how many times a person gulped or opened his/her mouth. I didn’t know if she had a really good memory but she’s just really good at what is assigned to her in this group.“Should I be nice to Amelia?” I asked, not holding myself back this time. I really need to let this ou
If someone told me that I’ll be able to talk to one of our country’s elite people, I would have laughed while thinking that it’s a shit joke. But hey, here I am today, talking to Amelia Harriet Williams, and she isn’t just someone who is rich, she is extremely rich. Her family came from old money and I even heard that her family is related to the king of Scotland during the old times. People in our country respect the Williams family, they were loved by all because they were generous and active in charities, and Amelia is one of the most protected Williams for she’s the only girl in their family in this generation, But what I couldn’t understand is the fact that she seemed nervous and awkward while talking to me, I mean, she’s a William, why is she acting like this towards a commoner like me? It’s making me wonder what
She was beautiful. Inside and Out. The way she thinks, she moves and just the way her face lights up when she sees the sunset is beautiful. I never knew that there will come a day that I will be able to appreciate someone deeply. I had always loved art, and it has been the only thing that I would most likely find beautiful, well that is until I met Amelia.Amelia was the type who just doesn’t know that they’re pretty. She was oblivious of how she would make my heart skip a beat because of the way she just looked at me. She was not aware of how much the students in our school adore her, not only because she was our leader, but also because she was really beautiful. And when I say the word beautiful, it does not mean that she’s good looking, but, it also means that her mindset and her actions are as beautiful as her.I have thought of her as someone who doesn’t care about others. A brat who gets everything with just a cry to her mother and father,
If someone ever told me that I was such a pain in the ass when I was a baby, I would believe them because I knew that they were the one who were able to witness it, and despite being the one who does all that, I was still basically unaware of what I was doing. And this time, I believed my friends because they were the ones who were able to witness everything. They were all here before me, I was the new girl who still has a lot to know about this mysterious school. But despite being a transferee, I am able to quickly realize how dangerous this school really is. I don’t know why they kept on lying to me, but I would like to assume that they are all doing it to protect me from what this school could do to me once I find out hidden secrets that they made their students to never talk about. Ever. Nina. She was a victim, or that’s what I believe. But, she can’t be the villain here, knowing how kindhearted she was. She was the opposite of Rei who is known to be mean to others and only kin
It couldn’t be Nina, right?Eve sent me half of the things about the past regarding this school, and from that information, there’s only one thing I can confirm. And that is Nina and Amelia had a past. It would be impossible if they were only friends. Amelia isn’t the type who would show she cares for you even if you’re just her close friend. I gritted my teeth, trying so hard to solve all these mysteries, but it kept on leading to nothing. I want to get it right this time, but why does my mind tell me that I’m wrong again? I let out a deep sigh, before focusing on the teacher who was busy lecturing for an hour now, dang! Having 2 hours in Statistics and Probability sure can make my day worse than before. During the lecture, my phone lit up, so I opened it in secret not wanting to let the others know that I was using it since if they ever find out, my phone could easily get confiscated, and I don’t want that. As soon as I opened my phone, I was surprised, it was from Eve. I thought
Three Sides of the StoryOne is your sideThe other, is theirsAnd last is the Truth.What could be the truth?What could it be that they were hiding?They were so protective of their secretThat it made me want to know more about itWhat could their secret be?Is it really important for them to kill others just to keep it to themselves?Was death really the only way for them to protect it?Maybe they were just so cruelSo evilThat they believed death was the answer to keeping their secret a secretBut is it really?Don’t they ever feel guilt?How can they sleep at night, knowing that they had killed someone?Blood. There was a lot of blood shed. And I hope they find out soonOr else there will be more innocent killedJust for their own gain.
As soon as the student council’s secretary was out of sight, I was able to breathe fine again. What she told me made my blood boil, but then again, I have no other choice but to follow her stupid orders. And by supid order, I mean, her ordering me to stay away from Amelia or else she’ll have me expelled by her powerful father. I can’t believe she could do that. To go to such an extent just because her crush is not looking her way. If only she knew that it isn’t me that Amelia adores, it was no other than Victoria. But of course, what can she do against Victoria? Nothing. Victoria was even more powerful and wealthier than her, and maybe that’s why she’s targeting me, because she knows I have nothing. I’m just some peasant for her who can’t do anything. I wiped the lone tear that escaped my eye, before turning around, and to my surprise, I was greeted by Jada who had a serious look on her face. I was about to escape, but she was fast enough not to let me. “We need to talk,” she told
“People are ruined by challenged economic lives. But they are ruined by wealth as well because they lose their pride and they lose their sense of self-worth. It’s difficult at both ends of the spectrum.” - Malcolm GladwellThis quote opens our eyes about the sad realityHow hard it is for the poor to live in this cruel worldWhere they are treated like animals by the rich.Is it offensive that most of the time, the rich are the villains?Or is it really just how it is in our universe?Where those who are unfortunate are treated as slaves by people in power. Just like in their school, where the scholars are treated badly, just because they don't have enough money to pay for their own tuition.That’s why, what’s the use of wanting to change everything, when we all know we could never change it, at all?They were teenage girls who wished for change, but could they really do it?Do they have the means to do it?Or were they all just stuck in their own fantasy?It’s hard to change somethi
I didn’t know what to do. I had been avoiding everybody I am close with, and I know they’re thinking of any possible reason why I was acting this way. But of course, they would never know the real reason behind my actions. I looked away when my eyes and Eun’s eyes met each other for the third time today. I felt guilty when Jada even offered to make me sit with them, but I only ignored them. I haven’t been inside this school for so long, but I already feel like my life here has been so long, that all I need is to get out of here in hopes of making my mind calm from the storm that has been bugging it. With our teacher still not being here, I stood up from my seat and decided to go out and just skip this class. I need to get out or else I’ll get suffocated inside there. I don’t like how all the girls I am avoiding are inside that classroom. It makes me sick in the stomach, knowing that they’ll forever hate me once they find out what I had been doing just to be able to keep my scholarsh
Maybe she was obsessed. Maybe she was still hurtingMoving on has never been easyAnd maybe that’s the reason she made sure to have a piece of her in her ownBut things were not going smoothlyBecause someone was also inside herAn experiment gone wrongMade her daughter experience things she shouldn’t haveQuestions will resurfaceAll the lies will be revealedAll the villains will be knownAnd the real heroes will be praisedA new leader will be bornAnd the old school shall be renewedAnd she will riseBecause everybody knows she’s deadBut is she? No body was found. She was just goneShe did leave some traces behindBut all of it pointed to nowhereShe was acting as if she wants to be found, but the truth is,She doesn't. She wanted to go missing without anybody looking for herShe will always be unpredictable. Like her daughter. They believed she was dead and buried somewhere But she’s notShe’s alive.
My body hurts. I woke up to the sound of Amelia baging on the bathroom door, and there I realized that I fell asleep on the bathtub. I closed my eyes in frustration, because this only means that I would have to explain myself to my roommate. And that’s what I don’t want to do right now.I don’t even know if I can still look her in the eyes. I feel so dirty and small. I just want to get away from here as much as possible. When the bathroom door was open, Amelia looked at me in shock when she saw that I was already fully clothed. She was busy finding the key perhaps, and I made sure to look presentable as soon as she was able to unlock the door. “You went inside the bathroom at 9 pm, and it’s already 3 am.” She informed me, and her tone was gentle. It was so soft that it made me want to go into her arms and cry. I want to tell her how much I fucked up, and how dirty I felt and how I failed the girls who were victims to that asshole of a teacher. So, I put my pride down and went to he
Who would have thought I would end up here? Being in a fucking place where I swore I would never find myself. I ought not to take part in any bad actions, but here I am. “You never disappoint. You’re my favorite now,” our teacher said and I heard a young girl’s sob when he finally was able to zip up his pants. My grip on the blanket covering me tightened when he went near me to give me a peck on the cheek, before he finally left the abandoned room. “You’re the student council president’s friend, right? I see you talk all the time, can you tell her about what’s happening inside here? Please… I already feel so dirty, I can’t handle this anymore. Please help us,” one girl pleaded, but I chose to ignore her. There’s nothing I can do when I myself is a willing victim to be fucking used. “I can’t do anything about it. They won’t believe us,” I told them, before getting all my stuff to finally get dressed. I hate myself. I hate myself. I hate myself so much. I feel so fucking dirty, but
