Isla's thoughts

last update Last Updated: 2022-04-13 21:54:11

“Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.” -Robert Henri

As much as she reminded me that her name was no longer Sea, and that she was never actually Sea in the first place, I still couldn’t help but compare her to the sea. How deep and enchanting she is, how she makes me want to go dive into her and know more about what she can tell and offer me. I wanted to explore her more, I wanted to know her better.

She is still a mystery to me. And as much as I do my best in knowing who she really is, I know I wouldn’t be able to fully know her if she would dodge all oy questions. I needed answers, I need her answers to be exact. I just hope she’ll realize that I’m someone she can trust and share her secrets with. I’m her girlfriend, her partner, and her bestfriend. I want to know her as much ass she knows me.

Because I love her. A lot.

  • Never Be the Same   Nina's Anger

    What the eyes see are nothing compared to what she hides. She made me feel safe and comfortable, but deep down, she has an underlying intention. Did I trust too easily or was I just fooled by a great liar? Is it my fault that I treated her like my friend, or is it just her selfish wish of having me all to herself?If I didn’t accept everything, if I didn’t enter this school, would my life be normal? Would I be able to see the sun rise again? Would I be able to see her again? I got so many questions running inside my head, because I know she has the answers to all of them. I wanted to know them, I wanted answers. I wanted my confusion to stop once and for all.I hate how I’m seen as the bad one in this school, when I did nothing but good deeds. I’m not asking to be praised, but that does not mean that I want to be cursed at. I

  • Never Be the Same   Nina's POV - 8

    I might have a crush.If my cousin would have heard about this, she might have rolled on the floor while laughing at me, telling me that I’m being childing. For most people, they find it silly that I have never been in a relationship before, and that I’m rarely attracted to other people. Well, maybe it was because I was so busy taking care of things, girls my age rarely care about, then maybe I would have time to find someone I’m attracted to.And now I have a huge problem. Because although I found someone whom I am admiring, that someone is no other than the most unreachable girl there is. I badly want to hit myself, because out of all the girls here, why did I even have to like Amelia Harriet Williams? Why does it have to be her?“Hey, let’s go. Class is about to start,” she told me, and she was being her usual giddy and cheerful self today that I couldn’t help but find her adorable, an

  • Never Be the Same   Nina's POV - 9

    In any scary or thriller movies, one from the circle of friends would always end up as an accomplice or even the suspect, and so does the love interest. So, what I’m trying to say is that I don’t know if I should be trusting all of my new found friends that easily. One of them had been giving me this weird vibe lately, but of course, I acted as if I didn’t feel it. But still, the way she was looking and talking, it felt different now. At first I really liked her because she was someone I am comfortable with, but now? It felt as if she was a new person.But here’s the catch, she would only act like that towards me. That’s why I can’t just open this up to the others because they’ll find me weird, since when she’s with them, she’s her usual self. I know, a fucking red flag, but I can’t go because it’s not the green light yet

    I would be lying if I say that I’m being true to them right now. From what I noticed, the whole group seems to be awkward and tense with one another. The reason for it? I literally have no idea. Eun, who was usually talkative, didn't even dare to talk to us today. She was just busy doing whatever on her phone, while Lily was fast asleep the other two were also busy doing their own thing, while I’m trying to figure out what could have possibly happened for them to act as if we were all strangers.“Is there something wrong?” There, it finally came out of my mouth, the question I have been dying to ask them. I can’t stay like this with them. I need answers why they’re acting like this, it was as if they’re waiting for something to happen just so we could all go back to how we were.“I feel like there’s somethin

    "Grief is like a moving river, it's always changing. I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It's just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone." -Michelle WilliamsIt was a normal day, but we were given the chance to wear casual clothes instead of our uniforms. They called it as a “wash day” since the teachers wanted the girls to learn how to wash their uniforms instead of sending it back to their homes. I was actually shocked when I heard the news, because it looks like, this was the first time the school made the students do this based on the reactions of the girls.I watched the others who were outside the building, trying to dry their uniforms, and my eyes darted on my roommate. I would be lying if I say that Amelia sucked at doi

  • 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

  • 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

    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
