2024-10-29 19:42:56We’re halfway passed the school year in sophomore and all I can say thus far is that I’m about to be burned out. The endless list of activities, the surprise quizzes, and brutal examinations. In addition, the short-tempered and fly-by-night professors and the list goes on and on.
College is an uphill battle and all the warriors fighting to climb and reach their coveted bachelor’s degree deserves a carte blanche. That’s why a semester break is a reasonable ice-breaker, giving the students to shift their focus away from school matters and get a leg up.
My fortnight semester break last year is quite a story. I spent most of my time in the house in solitary, with Mom exiled in a mental facility. I worked part-time jobs at a restaurant as a kitchen crew and worked my fingers to the bone for an extra-income, which explained some minor callouses and scars on my hands. I disciplined myself personally, which propelled me to do even more in life.

THE GREAT DIVIDE LANDED ON PARADISE
The interior was adorned with a predominant masculine accent, black and amber motif, suitable for a patriarch head of the family. Rounded rustic table, surrounded with velvety coal gray ling seats and bear skin rug propped on the floor. Marco and Jake were too immersed in a two- player interactive game at their phones in the corner, while Mom took a forty-winks on the massage chair, obstructed in the corner part of the interior. Liam and I, on the other hand, played with Kit, and caught up with one another, being apart for the past week. “How were the results of your midterms?” asked Liam in his sensuous voice. I extensively narrated to Liam how I managed to aced up the Midterms with the fabulous help that I got from Elijah, which I’m madly grateful for. Liam coped up with almost perfect scores in every subject in his syllabus, making him a potential candidate for magna cum laude. He’s inherently smart, that he could juggle his meteoric career

I collected myself from the heavenly bliss that Liam and I shared just a moment ago. We should be on the courtyard on the dot at 3 p.m. for the customary teatime. My Mom’s desirous of tea, eclectic-range of teas to be exact, so I bet she’s had her reservation already occupied.I can see Mom and Aries, formally sipping their drinks, articulating about Aries’ magnum opus and list of accolades.We acted well-adjusted as we tried to smoothen out the unwrinkled bit of my dress and shrugged off some grime on my shirt. It’s hard to read Aries disposition behind his golden-frame sunglasses.“You must be Serena. Join us,” offered him.My first impression to Aries is that he’s kind of pompous. The way he sat on the table screamed pride and his lukewarm gestures says it all. You know what they say, a monkey in silk dress is still a monkey.He just bragged the whole afternoon about his philanthropic acts, about his met

We all agreed to have the twins come with us. Mom’s still at our room and I went upstairs to come collect her. She had a slight fever and adjured us to go without her. I crossed my heart that I would behave rationally as I do most of the time.

The night was pretty chilly in our room, specifically in my spot because I lied right beside the wall. I can hear Jake’s snoring from the other room, which made it harder for me to fall asleep. In addition, the strong fruity fragrance of Nica’s sunscreen that densely punched my nose, giving me siege of headaches.Liam lover carried me to our bedroom for I straight down guzzled numerous glasses of premium red wine last night. Slivers of memories suddenly gushed inside my head. Supercuts of Marco’s mind-blowing fire spinning performance, Jake’s cartwheel flops, that almost broke his ankle, and Liam’s tipsiness that made him bend on one’s knees, play pretending an engagement proposal to me. Everybody is wild and out of control.

I carefully dipped from the bluff as Evans assisted me. I can infer that Liam saw red when Evans wrapped his arms around my midriff to aid me. I’ve never seen him this jealous with anyone else, other than the incident with Caleb, that conflicted me ever since the twins set foot on the island.For whatever reason was Liam unrested in sight of Evans, I felt strongly guilty. We plopped at the umbrella’s shade adjacent to the waters.“I’m sorry.”I held Liam’s scrunched face and kissed him. He was trying to hold back, but never detracted.“I don’t have any clue at all with your rivalry with Evans, but if you really wanted for me to avoid him by any means, I’ll-------.”“He stole my first love,” Liam disrupted, as he accidentally crushed his ice cream cone in his fist. He tried to calm himself down after his outburst, as he wiped off the ice cream orts on his hands with a morning to

The hospital was eerily quiet for a huge establishment. It’s almost as if I can hear all of our fluttering heartbeats combined, the three of us, Liam and Jake, preparing ourselves from the worst-case scenario.Liam’s disquietude is the most palpable amongst the three of us, who’s blankly staring on a dingy wall with both of his hands, clasps tightly, affixed to his mouth.I caressed Liam’s ruffled hair as we wait for Evans’ health results, hoping not a vital organ was maimed on the stab.The surgery took an hour before the doctor went out of the E.R. door.“How is he?

I need to put a halt on despising myself because Liam is not the only family I have. His demeanor is unacceptable and he should deep down realize it.The night was enchanting, with ceaseless laughing on the dining table, that led to a campfire drinking at the idyllic view on the rooftop.All of us gathered on the breezy rooftop, garbled on cardigan and handmade quilts. Mom and Zeke sat closely together, as they share a thick quilt. I lounge on a cardigan that I borrowed from Eloisa. Eric flumped beside me, already done with his second bottle of beer.“You have to take it easy, Eric. The night is still young,” I said smilingly.“Hey!

THE GREAT DIVIDE PANG OF GUILT
The trial is set next month, about Eric’s allegedly unthinkable behavior. I was sexually violated, not just once, but twice by him. The woeful news became the buzz of our town, as media stations blocked our front yard house with cameras and business vehicles.All of our daily activities were hassled by the dogging stations, that became perceptibly jarring for both me and Mom. The wave lasted for a week, but our nosy neighbors won’t stop darkening our doors, knowing that they’re not concerned about what happened to me, but only to have the full details of what have transpired.Mom was fully exhausting every thing that she can to make sure that Eric will be locked behind bars, notwithstanding the amount of anxiety attacks that she bore she could have had in a week.Liam came by and decided to stay with me in our house, practically to protect me from the possible blackguards. Ashton and Blake frequently dropped by to show their emotional support.
