[ Belladonna's Point of View ]
"What's your favorite food?" Niana asked me while we were lining up to get our lunch in the cafeteria.
This girl whom I decided to be friends with is Niana.
I discovered that she is an orphan. She lives in an orphanage with other kids and religious adults.
If she leaves me like Jameson, I won't bargain myself again to trust anyone.
"I like ice cream," I replied.
"Really? Me too! Especially cookies and cream!"
I just faked a smile at her.
We got our lunch and went to a vacant seat in the cafeteria. This is my first tim
[ Belladonna's Point of View ] I groaned in pain as I touched my neck. This will leave a scar. Angel is on the floor unconscious with her head bleeding. Serves you right, bummer. I roamed my eyes around the area and looked for Niana, but I couldn't grasp her. I hope she's recording. I attempted to run away, but those ugly, vile kids came towards me as soon as I stepped outside the room. "What did you do to Angel?" This guy in a mohawk slash Angel's boyfriend prattled. "Why? She started it first. I already warned you all to put your asses away from me, but you guys are too stubborn." I replied and frowned at them. T
[ Belladonna's Point of View ] "Good morning, class. As we all know, miss Salvador has been absent for a month because she got injured in an accident. Now, she's not yet fully recovered, so please treat her well." The teacher announced and looked at me at the classroom door. I walked inside the classroom and looked at everyone. They seem so startled. Why? Did you guys think I'm dead? "Hi, I'm back," I uttered and smiled at them. I glanced at Angel, whose face was sweating, tracing hints of worry and agitation. "Hmm, Bella? Are you sure you want to join our class today? You can still take your leave if you're not in your best condition." Our homeroom teacher spoke from behind. "I
[ Niana's Point of View ]Bella, why do you have to skip class today?!"Hey, where's Bella?" Jack came in my direction with Angel tailing him.Classes have already ended, and I'm waiting for the high school students who live with me in the orphanage."She left early. I think she wasn't feeling well." I replied without making eye contact, just staring at the cars passing by."Then we'll punish you on behalf of her. You're close friends with her, right?""No.""You're just saying that for us not to hurt you."He held a grip on my wrist a
Third Person's Point of ViewSewol high experienced a really devastating catastrophe. After the news that some of their students were notorious gangsters, killing and doing horrid things to different students, they decided to permanently close the school.There were no dead bodies found, but no member of the gang was seen after the tragedy.Suspicions say that the gang committed suicide and burnt the whole school. Some say that someone wanted revenge. Others say that a teacher left the stove open, and it caused the fire.Nobody knew what really happened.Except for Niana and Bella.Bella decided to take an exam that would advance her to high s
Third Person's Point of View"You scared my lungs, Niana. What the heck?!" Bella screamed while gasping."Hahaha! Wow, you got startled. It's my first time seeing you shocked." Niana uttered."It's not funny, Niana. We're literally talking about a dead person.""But no lying, I really saw someone behind."Bella looked back and shrugged."Anyway, it's nothing!" Niana abruptly said and grabbed Bella's wrist."Let's go to our dorm, Bella."...Bella and Niana played chess as soon as they ar
Third Person's Point of ViewNiana went back to the dorm past six pm. Bella was waiting for her."Where did you go?" Bella asked flatly. She was lying on the couch while scrolling through her phone."Just... I just went to a friend." Niana subconsciously said."A friend? I thought you don't have any other than me?" Bella replied and sat down. She turned her phone off and turned her gaze to Niana, who was still standing frozen at the door."No, I mean... Ugh!" Niana grunted."Tell me.""I needed to go to the orphanage. I already miss the kids and the sisters there." Niana looked down
[ Third Person's Point of View ]The following morning, Bella and Niana went to school together. They were keeping a distance. The only sound heard was the rustling leaves and footsteps."Sorry about last night." Niana broke the silence. Bella didn't respond."Uh, Bella, do you want to come with me to the orphanage later?" Niana stepped closer to Bella while holding a grip on the straps of her yellow backpack."Hmm, what are we gonna do there?" Bella asked."Nothing. Just have fun with the kids. Don't worry. People there are kind and welcoming." Niana smiled sweetly. Bella just glared at her."Alright." Bella sighed.
[ Bella's Point of View ]"And we're done!" Ashton clapped his hands after uttering words that were not necessary for this meeting.He looked at me and sighed heavily. The students went out of the clubroom one by one, but this girl kept glaring at Ashton. She was clenching her fists and seemed anxious.I guess she's from the lower years.I looked at her in the eye, and she looked back at me. Somehow, she calmed down and stomped off the room."Is she mad?" Niana asked as soon as the girl went out."Don't mind her. She's just nervous meeting a lot of people." Ashton said. He looked so agitated."T
[ Calcifer's Point of View ]Hi, I am Calcifer Salvador Abalos. A five-year-old kid who loves painting, eating, playing, dancing, EVERYTHING!I'm currently painting a portrait of my mom right now. Papa said she died while giving birth to me, and I really love my mama even if I haven't seen her personally.Because love is felt by the heart and not seen by the eyes.I love my parents so much.But papa just got mad at me a while back because my girl classmate kissed me at daycare.I swear, I didn't want her.Maybe papa got jealous because he's single. So, I'm painting a portrait of mom.
[ Jameson's Point of View ]I'm standing right in front of Bella's grave. I placed the bouquet of red roses, and tears started to fall from my eyes."It's been a year, darling," I mumbled even if she couldn't hear me. I sat on the grass and looked at her, seven feet below me."Do you remember? Today is our first wedding anniversary." Tears continued flowing. I can't help but think about her.Her beauty.Her smile.Her boldness.I miss her so much."And tomorrow is your death anniversary. Also, Calcifer's first birthday," I added, stammering.
[ Bella's Point of View ] I smell strawberries. I woke up from a deep nightmare, and my head hurt so bad. "Good evening, Bella." Jameson stepped inside my room without any shirt. As soon as I saw him, I remembered him kissing the lady at the grocery. Turns out that the girl suddenly attacked him. I got jealous for no reason. YES, I WAS FREAKING JEALOUS! "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I screamed at him. That's right, I was drunk yesterday. I had to drink so I could forget every single thing that had happened. "Why do you keep forgettin
[Bella's Point of View]Jameson was kissing a lady.I dropped my credit card, and Janice immediately tapped me. That, I came back to my consciousness."Bella, are you okay?" she asked and paid my bill.I just looked at her and smiled faintly. I don't know why but I can feel my heart in pieces.Could I possibly be jealous? No, that's not it.Maybe it just hurts because Jameson used to kiss me, and now he's kissing another woman.But does that make any difference? I shouldn't feel jealous at all. We're just-"Bella, what just happened to you?" Janic
[ Bella's Point of View ]How do I even know what love is?I pulled my hair out of frustration because I'm literally overthinking about LOVE!Janice said it's up to me to discover what love is for me, but I can't!Maybe I'm not meant to feel it. After all, I'm still a psychopath.Apparently, I'm fifty percent psychopathic because I'm not as emotionless as before.Is there such a thing?Jameson has been on my mind day and night. I'm paranoid over something I shouldn't be worrying about.Oh, Bella, what a pity!!
[ Bella's Point of View ]Four years later."You better go home, Bella. Do you plan on overworking yourself?"I glanced at my co-intern, Janice. We've been working until ten in the evening.I sighed and leaned on my swivel chair."I want to finish this whole internship thing and start working my ass off to get money," I replied and placed my hands on my face.I'm finally a psychology intern. Just a few more years, and I'll be a psychiatrist."Just stop worrying about that! You're the top student anyway. You'll be a great psychiatrist even if you don't join the internship," Janice said and grabbe
[Bella's Point of View]I smell strawberry cake. It's my favorite.I walked outside my room and saw Jameson baking. He wasn't wearing any shirt, just my apron and a pair of black jeans."What are you doing?" I asked, and he looked at me."Good morning, Bella. Sorry, it's hot, so I had to remove my shirt," he explained.I wasn't asking about it but never mind.It's been ten days since the incident, and I'm back at the dorm. Even if they already allowed me to live in the mansion, I will never go back.I heard Niana was brought to a mental hospital. I want to talk to her about her last words during

Read at your own risk.[ Bella's Point of View ]"Hi, Bella," Niana muttered and smiled at me as soon as she shot a bullet directly on Copper's head.Angel looked at her older brother, lying on the floor, dead while blood was continuously dripping from his skull. She cried out loud for her brother's name and looked at Niana with a deadly stare."WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" She screamed while hugging the corpse of her brother."Well, I couldn't let the both of you kill Bella. You shouldn't be doing my job," Niana said in a very different tone from how she used to speak to me before.
[ Bella's Point of View ]"Cooper," I mumbled.He was wearing a uniform of a delivery guy, but that didn't stop me from recognizing who he was.He let out a chuckle and stared blankly at me."You weren't killing people these past years. What happened?" He asked and slightly tilted his head.I didn't speak a word. How did he find me? Why is he wearing a delivery guy uniform? Why is he here?A lot of thoughts are coming inside my head."Hmm, you won't answer? Is it because you are busy flirting with two men?"How dare he?
