Chapter 23: Honesty is the best Policy
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56On a normal day, it would be Zoe that could be seen taking care of us, but today, it was different. We made sure that it would be us who was serving her. Going through a break up is really tough, and even if she tells us that she is fine, I still feel the need to take care of her this time.
“What do you guys want for dinner?” I asked them, since me and Eun would be the one to get our orders. Lily and Jada immediately said their usual dinner, while Zoe told us she’ll just have what we’ll eat for later.
Eun and I went to the counter, and it was as if luck wasn’t on our side, because Mandy and some of her friends are also here. They were talking about something, but immediately stopped when she saw me and Eun next to them.
“Oh, hi! You’re Miss Pr

I always thought that once I grow old, I’d still have the same set of friends beside me. I always imagined having my friends back at home with the one who’ll see me graduate highschool, enter a good university and graduate all together. But, now, it seems like it will never happen. I’m already in a different school, and from my last talk with them, I heard that some of them are fighting, and I feel bad because I wasn’t there to make them stop. I was their referee whenever they would argue about something, because I never liked the idea of taking sides in our friend group. I know it is not really my job or responsibility to do this for my friends back at home, but I know what they are all going through, so I would always choose to do my best for them to learn more and understand each other more. &n
Never Be the Same Chapter 25: Close To You
It has been a long day, and my body has been aching because our PE teacher made us run around the football field, and even let us carry those heavy sacks around our shoulders. I groaned when I stretched my body, and I heard Amelia who chuckled behind me. I frowned, why does she seem so amused at me feeling hurt?“How are you so okay after all that?” I whined, and there she started laughing, then I was shocked when she went closer to me and massaged my back. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from saying anything, because her hand felt so good. It wasn’t as good as the ones who would usually massage me at our spa, but it was enough for today since I was really aching all over.“You should’ve warmed up earlier,” she told me, and I wanted to tell her that I did, but then I remembered that I really didn’t warm up earlier, making my body hurt too much. It was all my fault. I groaned after reali
Never Be the Same Chapter 26: Stuck in My Mind
The sun decided to hide today. The weather was gloomy and the sky was full of gray clouds that looked like it’ll pour some rain anytime soon. It was also quite chilly and I actually liked this weather. It makes me feel like I’m the main character in a 90s film.Today is Saturday, which means we don’t have classes and homeworks isn't really allowed during weekends, so we get to rest and just think and reflect about what happened to us in the past days. It was actually really nice to have this kind of freedom from academics during the weekends, because it makes me think about life and forget about the books and the tests I’ll be reading and answering on Monday.And for the first time in my stay here in this school, today was the only day I saw Amelia still sleeping even though it was already past 8 a
Never Be the Same Chapter 27: Into Girls
Like I said before, it was a lovely morning. It was peaceful and only the rain and a classical playlist can be heard as our background music as we quietly eat our breakfast. It was a simple breakfast, but it was the best I had, or maybe I was being biased since the one who made it for me was no other than Amelia Williams.We were eating quietly, asking questions here and there, and it was soon interrupted when the door to our room opened, without even the person who just entered knocking. She straight up went inside, looked for us while yelling “I’m here!” and then sat next to me once she finally saw us. I glared at the newly arrived person, but she didn't seem to mind since she was now busy eating the breakfast Amelia prepared for me and her.“What in the world are you doing here?” I asked G
Never Be the Same Chapter 28: What Are You Like?
We have been talking for I don’t know how long, but I do enjoy doing this with them. It makes me forget how we are all so different from one another. It just stopped when it was time for Amelia to go and cook our lunch. Georgia and I told her that we would help, but Amelia told us to just sit and relax because it would be her that would serve us for today. “I never knew you could cook,” Georgia suddenly blurted out, and I could not help but agree. I never knew that Amelia was the type who knows how to cook. To think about it, what else can Amelia not do? She is so freaking perfect, it makes me wonder how a person like her can exist. “I was taught to do this ever since I was young,” Amelia opened up as she was getting the ingredients. I watched as she was gracefully moving around the mini kitchen. Amelia really is doin
Never Be the Same Chapter 29: Victoria Kingstein
I grew up in a family where I was loved and cared for. It was far from the movies where rich parents would rather choose their work instead of their daughter. I never knew that what I had was something that is treated very special by other kids with the same parents like mine.That’s when I met my friends. We were just kids when we all became close to one another. Promising each other that we would never leave any person behind. We promised to always have each other’s back so it was really hard for me to be away from them for this long. Because it was sort of known to other people that we would always be together.Other students can’t ever bully a single member of my friend group, because they know we are karma herself. I remem
Never Be the Same Chapter 30: Back to Work
Yesterday was a fun experience. Not only was I able to share my life before going here with them, but I also learned about their life here. It was cool to know that the three of us were similar to one another but still so different.I was stopped from thinking about yesterday’s happenings, when I felt a small tap on my shoulder by none other than Zoe. She told me to pay attention since we are in a meeting inside their room, so I apologized and decided to just focus on the meeting.I’m not going to lie. I am indeed getting sidetracked because of having two officers so close to me. Being friends with both Georgia and Amelia makes me want to believe that not all members of the student council are bad, but then again, in order for other people to believe me, I have to get some evidence that they were not the ones
Never Be the Same Chapter 31: The Boy with the Tattoo
After we talked about our plan, we were all called to go to the school's auditorium. I was curious as to why we were called, because the school auditorium really is magnificent. It screams wealth and it has chandeliers lining up.I'm not lying when I say that this school is like a castle. It has a lot of beautiful arts and the design of the school is really beautiful. I feel like the type of architecture that was used for our school was Rococo."I feel like I already know what this is all about," Lily whined, before she clinged her arm to me as she was pouting and whining about how this could be about a school party that happens yearly when the school's owner would come here so the school would always do something like formal dancing or an orchestra for the owner and his family that would visit here."Is the owner o

Never Be the Same Chapter 108: Punching Bag
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
Never Be the Same Chapter 107: Not Mysterious At All
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.
Never Be the Same Nina's POV - 18
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
Never Be the Same Sad Reality
“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
Never Be the Same Nina's POV - 17
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

Never Be the Same Nina's POV - 16
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
Never Be the Same Nina's POV - 15
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
