Chapter 48: Pretty Girl in the Red Dress

last update Last Updated: 2021-12-15 21:47:55

We had just finished eating, and I thought we would be talking more, but Amelia already excused herself when the teachers called for her, and from what I heard, it was about how the student council officers are getting into a lot of trouble lately. I could feel a bit guilty since she has to deal with all that, but then again, the student council officers deserved it. 

As I was left alone, I couldn’t help but remember what happened that one summer night. I was actually glad that Amelia finally wants it to be remembered and not forgotten, because I really am having a hard time forgetting it. 

There was something about Amelia that one summer night. Her vibe, her outfit, her voice, and her character. Everything about her that time was just so far different from what she shows in this school. It was like a different side o

    Slowly and Gracefully. The way she walked towards me made me feel like running away, but a part in me wanted to feel her near. I didn’t know whether this was pure lust or I was really attracted to her, but one thing is for sure, she’s much more beautiful up close. The way her eyes brightened up when she flashed a smile at me, and how her hair looked so pretty tonight. Damn. How can someone so beautiful even exist?“Hi,” she breathes out. I gulped, before flashing her a smile. It wasn’t the time to be shy, I needed to match her confidence if I wanted to at least talk to her even for just tonight.“Hi. Are you new here?” I asked her, then I felt how my body just sways while the music echoed throughout the dance floor. There was a live band playing, and everybody just doesn’t give a shit of what you’re doing, a

    A hand tapping my shoulder made me stop on remembering what happened that night. I wanted to remember everything that happened that night. I don’t ever want to forget it now. I mean, who would even want to forget happy memories, right?“You alone?” I turned to my side, and saw Georgia giving me a smile. I was expecting it to be Amelia, but of course, she’s the student council president, she is needed by the teachers right now. I pouted, I guess she'll be very busy then. I don't even know if we'll meet inside our room later, since she might go and patrol for the night again.“Yeah. Amelia left,” I answered, before fixing my thing so that I could go back to my shared room with Amelia and rest my head from too much thinking. I want to go and sleep already. I didn't do much physical activit

    The next morning, I woke up. Alone. I let out a deep sigh before I started to get ready for a new day. I don't know what awaits me today, but I’m hoping it will be something good. I have been so exhausted from spending too much fucking time in this school that all I ever want to do right now is to leave and go back home for at least week to spend some time with my family and friends.“Good morning, sweet heart.” Eun was cheerful this morning. She has always been, but she has been extra cheerful today. Is there something going on that I don’t know about? Or is she just happy? Oh well, I couldn’t care less since I have a problem. My body is aching all over. Probably because it was already late when Amelia decided to move back to our room. I slept on her lap for god knows how long, but I didn’t mind though.

    Girls were talking nonstop. I myself felt a little bit better after knowing that we will be able to have a vacation, even though it’s just for 2 weeks. It’s better than nothing, right? The girls were already talking about what they’ll be doing once they are out of this place. Me, Jada, Eun, Lily and Zoe were planning that maybe we could hang out in a cafe before we went back to the dorms.But for now, all I care about is the fact that I’ll be going back home. I’ll be seeing my parents and friends after a long time. I miss them so much, there was not a day that I didn’t think of them. I can’t wait to go and tell them that I’ll be going home.Once classes were over. Almost everybody ran out of the classrooms. Gone were the well-mannered girls the school raised. Everybody was h

    The moment my foot stepped out of our campus, that’s when I felt more alive. I never knew that I needed this so much. I waved goodbye to my friends as we were all going our separate ways. I already have my driver waiting for me, not wanting to use the school’s service since I don’t want anything related to this school that would go and take me abc home.When I was finally inside my car, I greeted my driver. Harold, one of our family’s trusted drivers, gave me a nod and a smile when he saw me. He was already in his fifties, and has been driving for our family ever since I was born. And since I am most comfortable with him, he became my official driver, but now that I’m not at home and not needed for his service, I believe he’s my father’s driver.“How were you, young lady?&rd

    As soon as my family were out of sight, my friends immediately asked me sort of questions. I laughed at their questions, because they were already asking me if I would finally get out of that sutpid school.“Do you feel lonely there? I’m really sorry, we really tried our best to make our parents let us go there too, but the school principal didn’t like me, so yeah, it was as if I wasn’t welcome there,” Eve told me, her once red hair now pink made her look prettier. I went near her to give her a hug and assure her that it was fine. Besides, it was me who also agreed, I couldn’t just let my friends enter that school with me, and who would be with Nathan then if we all go, right? It’s fine that I went alone, because I can handle myself, but I don’t know what these three will do if they get separated. Especially Eve who’s very mischievou

    A party. That’s what I wanted. That’s what I was waiting for, hoping that Amelia’s parents would attend and of course, she too would attend. I never knew that I'd ever be excited over a party that my parents’ were planning to hold in one of our hotels that were opening. They were also talking about telling a secret to the public at that party. And as much as I want to investigate and find out what my parent’s secrets are before everybody else, I was much more interested in the guests that will be going to that party.“Oh, what are you doing here with the invitations?” My mum’s secretary asked me, eyeing me carefully sa I was never the type to give a fuck about parties. I rolled my eyes before doing cute actions towards her so she would finally let me do what I have to do.&l

    Going to the mall with your friends is supposed to be fun and all that, but sometimes being a part of the well-known high class families is tiring. We weren’t celebrities, but we would model for some brands, but I still don’t get why there are people who want to take photos with us. It made us look arrogant to some when we decided to ignore those people.We never wanted this kind of lifestyle. But most people would often tell us how we don’t deserve this. It wasn’t my fault that my parents are famous and were born rich. Why couldn’t those people leave us alone? I bit my lower lip before pulling my friends close to me to avoid those people who kept on following us.“They missed seeing you,” Eve tried to joke, making me glare at her. This situation shouldn’t be a joke to them.

    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

    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

    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

    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
