Everything was new to me. I never knew what falling in love was like before I met Rei. But seeing her I just couldn’t help but find myself getting more and more attached to her. She was someone I could be myself with, and because of that I was so scared to risk our friendship for my feelings, so I decided to just admire her from afar. I was already glad to have her as my friend, and there was no need for me to go and tell her how I feel since it will only complicate things.
But then again, everything changed when our friends started teasing the both of us. And as much as I try to act normal, my face would still turn red whenever they would tell us to just go and be together, because I would love to be with her and date her. Rei was someone I could see myself in a romantic way, and I just really like her.
At first I
“I need you all to act normal.”It’s been two days since the cafe hopping I did with Amelia. It was enjoyable and I kind of feel guilty for even thinking of Rei as we were waiting for our orders. I don’t even know what got into me to think about her when I was already with Amelia.“Out of all people, you really got to be the one saying that, huh?” Nathan asked me, and of course his sarcasm was dripping, but I didn’t mind him and just focused on Kimberly who seemed to be cooperative.It was the day I’m planning to let my friends and Amelia meet one another. I don’t want to go back to our dorms without me not being able to make them hang out with each other. But what I’m afraid of is what if Amelia f
I don’t know how and what secret Amelia has for her to be able to handle my friends. They were asking her all these questions, making Nathan do most of them since he was sort of being protective whenever it comes to me and dating since he knows how the first one ended into misery. “So, you share the same room?” This time, it was Eve who asked this, oh well, she was sort of clarifying it. I wanted to tell Amelia to just ignore her, since by the way Eve was looking at me with a brow raised and a smirk on her face, I know all too well she is up to no good. I don’t even know how our youngest, since she is younger than me by a few months, ended up being the one who has the dirtiest mind, and mind you, she slept with someone as soon as she turned 18 years old. At first we were not believing her, because how come a church girl who made a promise in front of everybody (well according to
After meeting my friends, we all parted ways. Of course, Amelia and I had to act as if we are not too close as I stuck with Nathan, not wanting anybody, especially the staff, to find out something they shouldn’t. And as we were about to get out of the restaurant, it was as if destiny hated me so much when Nathan’s mum showed up.She gave us a big smile, especially when she and Nathan were close to each other with my arms wrapped around his. I wanted to let go, but decided against my idea since I don’t want her to see there was something wrong.“Are you all going?” she asked, and some eyes turned to look at us since the famous actress was here. Nathan was quick to give her a kiss on the cheek, and of course we did the same. I was actually shocked when Nathan’s mum saw Amelia and she imme
We were then sent to another private room, the one that is fancier since the owner of the restaurant is the one who came here. As soon as we entered, the atmosphere immediately felt tense and awkward. Nathan was not really close to his mum so it was sort of like us talking to someone we don’t really know.“So, the order will come here soon. For now, let’s talk about you two,” she said, her smile still plastered on her face, and I badly want to make her shut up because I don’t want to talk about anything right now. All I want to do is go back to Amelia and enjoy this day together. We don’t have much time left outside school, and I don’t want another day to get wasted just because this grown woman is obsessed with her son’s lovelife.“There is nothing to talk about, mum.
Silence enveloped us as soon as Nathan said that. The air felt so thick that it was getting hard to breathe. Usually, what i see in movies, when you’re with your friend’s mum, you’re comfortable, but not in my case. Being with Nathan’s mum felt so suffocating that it makes me want to just go and bolt out of this private room.The only thing that’s actually stopping me from doing that is the thought of her telling my mum about it. As much as possible, I don’t want to disappoint my mum, especially when it comes to my behavior towards her friends. My mum might seem sweet and nice, but she really gets scary when she hears that I am being disrespectful or if I’m being naughty.“I’m sorry, but I really need to go. Mum? Please? Let us go,” Nathan pleaded to her mum, before ho
It’s been a week since this little break was given to us, and there’s only a week left before we finally go back to our school. Amelia and I were happy and content with what we have as of now, and there was no day we weren’t seeing each other, but today was the first time we wouldn’t.Me and my friends were inside Eve’s library. It might not be seen in her outward appearance, but Eve loves to read classic books and anything fiction. She has her own library both on the first floor and second floor of their mansion.“What’s with our parents ordering us to go here?” Nathan asked, clearly irritated since he was no doubt a morning person and it’s just 7:30 in the morning, he usually wakes up at like 10. I understand why he is irritated, because I myself is also irritated, t
Talking and spending time with friends is one of the best experiences there is, but it only applies to those you have a good relationship with. You see, one of our former friend named Felix is about to show up here in a few minutes, and me and my friends still don’t fucking know how to act. And if you were wondering, yes, it’s just me and my friends because we really can’t let Amelia get into this mess, and I’m afraid my mom would ask me questions as to why we were both always together.I know and I’m aware that my mom won’t try to get angry at me if I tell her that I like Amelia, but it’s just not the right time, besides, I don’t even know how my father will react if he finds out the news. Besides, my mom is pregnant, her getting stressed out because of me was the last thing I ever wanted to happen. I don’t want anything bad to happ
Communication. How easy it is to know what that word means but why is it so freaking hard to actually do it in real life? We watched as Felix was now standing in front of all of us inside the library of Eve, the one where we were locked inside by our moms. It was the best choice since our parents would only think we were hanging out here instead of interrogating the main boy for tonight’s welcome party.Kimberly was beside Nathan, making sure he was alright, and I couldn’t help but also feel worried for him. I never saw him in this state, and the last time he was like this was the week after Felix left us. He never showed any weakness after that week, but we knew he was just trying to hold everything in, knowing he’s the only guy left in the circle. He didn’t want to act weak, and I hated how he would act like that when we literally wouldn’t mind pampering
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
