2018Andrew walked briskly down the familiar street, his house just a distance away. It's an average-looking home that blended in with the other houses lining the neighborhood.Anyone who laid eyes on it would correctly assume that its residents were not financially well-off.Andrew lived with his parents, and they were barely making ends meet. If not for his scholarship, they wouldn't have been able to afford the tuition at Toppings Medical Academy.As he stepped into the house, the aroma of homemade porridge, prepared by his mother, greeted him. "Welcome home, dear," she said, placing a steaming plate on the table."Thanks, Mom," he replied, "Good afternoon, Dad," Andrew greeted, noticing his father already seated at his usual spot."Mhhh," his father murmured in acknowledgment."Wash your hands and come join us, dear," his mother instructed .Andrew hastily made his way to his room, quickly washed up, and returned to the table. For as long as Andrew could remember, they had a

I must take this call," Dr. Shey said apologetically. "You know what they say—a doctor never gets a break."“Exactly” Dr. Robins replied with a chuckle, as Dr. Shey left to take the call.A brief silence fell over the room as Tanya and Dr. Robins exchanged a knowing glance. It was no secret that their past was intertwined, and her sudden reappearance was anything but coincidental."Sandra," Dr. Robins called out to his assistant, his gaze never leaving Tanya. “Yes boss?” Sandra r

2018Angela Seeing my dad stand in front of my room as I rush to round up dressing is not a usual sight. “This weekend was supposed to be just for us,” he said as he finally stepped in and sat on my bed, watching me.“Dad, you know I wanted this weekend for us too, but…. something quite important called,” I said, putting a final touch to my powder.“Something more important than our father-daughter hangout?” He asked with a pitiful look."C'mon, dad,” I started calmly, applying my lipgloss.“You always have somewhere to be when I need you, and now that I am busy for the first time, do you have a problem with it??”I said, looking at him, and I could feel his guilt grow.“I don't have a problem, honey. I just miss my little girl who begs me to play rock with her; now look at you wanting to spend time elsewhere.” He said and we both laughed. I put on my heels as I noticed my dad looking at me.“What is it, Dad?” I asked, smiling a bit because I knew he was going to say something

(2006)The rain poured down continuously. It was the type of rain that didn't come with the wind or thunder. It was gentle but non-stop. A way to make the funeral memorable; is Helen Maria Stone's funeral. Some would say the sky was also mourning the loss of a beloved soul. Beautiful cars, polished to a shine, lined the Streets of Colonia San Rafael leading to the cemetery, proof of the wealth and stature of the Stone family. The mourners dressed in black attire, huddled under black umbrellas, with white handkerchiefs used to wipe their tear-stained faces.Amidst the gentle patter of raindrops, the mourning congregation arrived at the cemetery: the prestigious Pantéon Francés, a place where the wealthy and influential laid their loved ones to rest. Here, within the neatly trimmed gardens of Pantéon, the final chapter of Helen Maria Stone's life would be written.Richard Stone stepped forward to the front of the gathered congregation, a hush fell over the assembly, his height made it e

(2018)There is a certain sweetness to solitude. Yes, that sounds depressing and absurd but I still stand by it. For some, solitude is a time of reflection, a chance to explore their thoughts and worry about things they can't change, sad. However, for me, alone time is a chance to clear my mind and reset. It's an opportunity to let go of everything. When I'm alone, I'm able to find a sense of stability and calmness that is hard to come by in the company of others. There's this power in being alone, and for me, this power manifests most palpably during the sacred ritual of dining alone. However, today that power wouldn't be manifesting as my father decided to eat with me on our grand table adorned with over twenty seats. Though my father had said nothing yet, the room was quiet, save for the gentle scraping of cutlery against plates and the quiet footsteps of the servants serving us. Even the air seemed still as if the room itself was holding its breath, waiting for something to happe

"Close to school too so yeah.” "Sounds great," I said, as she shot me a look."Not sure you'll like it though," she warned. “What do you mean?” I asked, curious “Well, it's kind of a bright, cheerful, and sometimes crowded place," she explained, a playful smile curving her lips "So?"

2018 In Toppings Medical Academy, the hall was filled with students gisting, group of friends huddled together exchanging the latest gossip. Suddenly, the main doors to the hall opened, and the Elites entered. Everyone gave way for them, knowing their place in the social hierarchy. They walked in proudly, all dressed in obviously expensive clothes. Lily and Ava wore short skirts and tops with flats, while Rosaline wore a cute blue dress and long boots. All eyes were on them, their presence alone commanding respect and intimidation. They were used to the attention, and they basked in it. Rosaline, their leader, led the team with Ava and Lily by her side. Their walk was instantly halted as they all turned to the right, their attention drawn to a girl who was wearing the exact same blue dress as Rosaline."Oh my God, girls?" Rosaline said in disgust, her voice echoing through the hall. The innocent girl shivered in fear, already knowing what wa
