He stared at her with an amused smile. His lips curved into a grin then he burst out laughing at her.Her grin dropped and she pursed her lips into a thin line. She stared at him with a confused expression.“What is funny?” She asked and stared at him questioningly.“Did you just say you want to be my younger sister?” He asked out of disbelief.“Yeah. Anything wrong with it?” She asked. She does not know the reason but since he asked her to be his friend, she felt so free with him which was definitely not her. Maybe the crush she had on him was just some weird infatuation. Her heart beat with a thud, thinking she crossed her limits. “It is alright.” She said and sadness dripped in her voice.He stopped laughing and stared at her. “Hey, I did not mean it. I just found it weird and strange maybe.” He explained.“Being the only child of my parents. I never thought I would have one and that too you.” He said and she brightened up. “So you accept me as your younger sister?” She asked with
Ellie walked into the café. It was somewhat quiet as they are few students in there. Some were still writing their examination. She had watched her sister wake up and revised her notes before hopping out of the room without acknowledging her. She had hissed and scoffed. Not like it would add anything to her life anyways. Since she was not having any exams, she had lapsed on the bed and slept for some minutes before fighting the urge to sleep. She scrambled her way off the bed and quickly had a quick bath. Just because yesterday was bad does not mean that today will be worse. She thought to herself as she wore her clothes.She stared at her damned self. I am no damned self. She rebuked her subconscious mind and shook her head to get rid of such silly thoughts. I won't be depressed. She kept chanting to herself. I won't give up just because the world is against me. She intonated as she walked out of her room.She looked around the café and saw an empty table at the extreme edge. She smi
“I saw how crestfallen he was. I was kind of sad for him. My sister is not one to date or even give guys a chance. She was business- like. I ran after her and asked her what it was all about. She hissed out. She later went on to say that he had said some stupid pick up lines. As if she was going to fall for that.” She laughed at the memory. “Well, Elsa is not one so it was acceptable. Although I was saddened that he had asked her out, I still tried convince her to accept him. At least if you can't be with the one you love, let them be with the one who gives them happiness.” All Christian did was just stare and listen to her. He knew that deep down in him. She was talking about him and Elsa's relationship. “A month later, after his incessant in his different luxury cars. I was about to pull down the curtains that evening when I finally saw my sister step out of his car. He placed a kiss on her forehead and she smiled. I did not even know when I beamed also. I was strangely happy for hi
“Oh, please. Just because you are a virgin does not mean we should be one.” Jace scoffed while Jeremy rolled his eyes at him. Jayson chuckled at the word ‘virgin' making him remember that Jasper was dating his sister. Before anyone could talk, Jayson gripped Jasper by his collar with eyes questioning him. Jasper held his hands, trying to let him loosen his hands. “Hey, Jayson. What’s up with you?” Jeremy asked with eyes dilated in shock while Jace already sat down. “Have you?” He asked, expecting the answer to be negative. Jasper furrowed his eyebrows, not getting what he meant. “I mean have you gotten into her panties?” He asked and Jace and Jeremey burst out laughing. The rest of the people in the café were busy doing one thing or the other, not bothering to look at what the guys were doing or that is even if they could hear. Jasper nodded his head vigorously, trying to pass across to him since Jayson was almost choking him. “What?” He asked. He slackened his hands a little bit. “
“Why did you avoid your other friends?” Ellie wondered aloud as she walked next to Jake. Jake gulped lightly. He had only seen them when he was about to leave the café, not like he would have greeted them anyways. “Jayson and I had a little quarrel last night.” He answered. “What?!” She exclaimed and came to an halt immediately. “Why?” She asked. He shook his head and said, “See you don’t need to worry about it. We will settle it soon.” He continued walking. Ellie hissed out and said. “You have got to fix it soon.” He smiled lightly. “Yeah, yeah.” He rolled his eyes. He just could not stop liking her. Even though Jayson has not for once defend her or even talk to her, she was still willing to make sure they don't quarrel. People like her are really rare.“Big bro.” They both heard a voice call out. They stopped speaking and turned to look at the person. Aria walked joyfully towards them with a grin on her face. Ellie's lips unknowingly rose into a smile but her face held uncertainty a
Ellie came out of the bathroom already clad in her pajamas. Without sparing Elsa a glance, she collapsed on the bed gazed at the ceiling for some time before trailing it down to the door. “Tomorrow, please be good to me.” She prayed and slowly closed her eyes.**Next Morning**Jake woke up earlier than Jayson who was still snoring on the bed. He picked his well-ironed uniform; a white shirt which had a barge of Shining Stars High on it, deep blue jacket and a pair of deep blue trousers. He went into the bathroom and came out some minutes later with a towel hanging dangerously low on his waist. At this time, Jayson already woke up and was sitting down. He looked up and saw Jake wearing his clothes already as he dropped his lotion. “Good morning.” He muttered and stood up to have his own bath. Jake pretended not to have heard and continued wearing his clothes. **Jake tied the last lace of his sneakers and bounced up in enthusiasm. Jayson already wore his clothes and prepared. Jake
Not to forget, she ignored some and did not spend time on them. As she has just an hour and half to finish it up and move to the second subject. She could hear the clock tick at every passing second. Her palms already turned cold and sweaty as she wrote down her answers. She was nervous. Why?For once, she stopped writing and closed her eyes tightly. She inhaled and exhaled. She did it for three times. Before, she took her pen again and started writing this time, she tuned everything out. Even the man and the clock. **“Three minutes to go.” She heard. There was nothing more to write. She opened her answer booklet and started cross-checking everything she wrote. “A minute to go.” She heard again. The man stood before her with hands extended out towards her. She looked up and gently places the paper in his hand. She breathed out deeply and a satisfactory smile curved her lips. To her, she did her best. She really tried. She stood up and shove the chair back a bit. She packed her writ
Hours turned into days. Ellie kept burning her candles. She was not a dull child. But the chances of her grades coming down was somewhat and unbelievably high. This is Shining Stars. Students who made it into this place and students that were still here are no just students that find their way in with long legs or hands that are outstretched. They have found their way in through the test of their intelligence. Even your parents won't be able to get you in. Even if you are transferred student, you will be highly examined before granting you access to the school. She does not know which grade she will take this time around. She has always been a B+ grade student while her sister is a partially A student. But all things being equal, she was definitely not going take any chances. She realized that in this world, she could never put her whole trust in someone but there was an exemption. Jake.He was the exemption. She would always be grateful to him. He had gone out of his way to help

Chapter 100[Christian's Apology]“Happy birthday to you.” Ellie wished her younger sister as she gave her the gift she got her.“Thank you, sissy.” Mercy appreciated her with a grin on her lips.

The relationship between Elsa and Ellie was slowly returning to normal.After taking a few pictures, the party ended and the few people who came left for their houses.*“So what do you think about what I asked you?” Jayson asked with nervousness.

Although, Jayson promised them that he would give them some feedback.They drove to Ian's house with Ian driving before them, leading them. He was thinking about what happened all of a sudden. It seemed like a shock to him. Just a day, he saw his look alike that is most likely his twin. As he got to his house, he honked the car towards the gate. The gate was pushed open by a man and they all drove in. Before Ian could get down from the car, Jayson's dad already did.“How dare him?!” He seethed as he marched towards the entrance. Jayson's mother was worried.“Stanley!!” Cole yelled out as Stanley climbed down the stairs with a glass of wine in his hands.“Long time, no see.” Stanley said with a smirk, playing on his lips. He looked just how he was years ago. J

Chapter 97[Outburst; Remorse]Elsa stood dumbfounded. She could not move as what Ellie said to her echoed in her head. Mercy hissed out at her and walked up the stairs to meet Ellie. Ellie actually happened to be Mercy's favorite. Austin walked closer to meet her and he pulled her into a hug before he pecked her on her forehead.“She does not hate you.” He said silently.“B-but she said it, dad.” Elsa cried out.“No, she doesn’t. She only said it because she was angry.” He soothed her back. She hugged him tightly.**“Ellie, darling.” Her mother called out as she entered her room. She saw standing close to her window, staring at the moon and stars.She walked towards her and noticed the Mercy entered also.“I know how you feel but can you talk to me please.” Liliana begged her and gently turned her towards her.“You don’t. You don’t understand anything.” Ellie spoke up.“All nineteen years of mine, I was neglected. I was told to emulate her. I was told to walk in her steps. I stayed
Chapter 96[He shattered it all]“You know… I met him first. I met him…” She hiccupped. He patted her shoulders.“Calm down. I am here.” He whispered. They were both hurting.She soon released from the hug and sniffed in. She dabbed the tears off.“I first met him that day. He was in a fatal accident. I had to give him my blood at the hospital. Yet, he did not recognize me. I felt heartbroken. I gave him sometime thinking he would remember me but I was wrong.” She said and released a deep breath.“Accident?” Jake asked with an arched eyebrow. She nodded positively.“I don't remember Jayson getting into an accident like that.” He said. She looked up to him and stopped walking.“W-what do you mean by that?” She asked.“Jayson and I have together for so long to know he has not been involved in any major accident.” Jake explained. Confusion crossed her face as she heard this.“B-But I saw him. It was him. He had that oceanic blue eyes.” She said with her hands slowly shaking. She was clea
Chapter 95[Asking Her Out]Jake and Ellie released from the hug and stared into each other’s eyes. She saw how his eyes were red rimmed. He must have been crying before he came.“What got a guy like you crying?” She asked.He stared up at the sky. “I can't believe I am an orphan despite the fact that my parents are still alive.” He spoke up. She narrowed her eyes on him, not getting what he said.He looked at her and smiled grimly, knowing she does not understand what he said.“You know the first time we bumped into each other at the corridor the first time we met. I had this feeling that I had met you somewhere but I could not remember. But now I remember, you were the girl I had hit on particular day while I was driving fast on the road. Despite, people telling you to get me arrested, you insisted that I go scot free. You said it was not a major hit and that you were fine.” He narrated to her and she recalled the incident also. She did not clearly see his face that day.He cleared
Chapter 94[Getting Engaged]“Let me just hold you like this for a while.” He sobbed out quietly. They held each other close.Ellie kept thinking about what might have happened to him. To a cheerful boy like him. She held him tightly and sniffed in his cologne.**Elsa's car drove straight into the house. She wasted no time in coming down. She carried her bag and walked briskly into house.“Ellie.” Mercy called put happily thinking she was the one. Elsa stopped and looked back but did not see Ellie. She raised her eyebrows and realized that she was referring to her. She smiled and towards her. She crouched down and said. “Little sister, seems like you are finding it hard to recognize your sisters.” She teased. Then it dawned on Mercy that it was not Ellie. She smiled nervously and moved back a bit. “I am sorry.” She apologized.“It's nothing. Now where's dad and mom?” Elsa asked as she looked around.“They are yet to be back.” Mercy answered.“Cassie.” Elsa called out. Cassie came out
Chapter 93[Two Bleeding Hearts]Ellie sat down, wondering if she should go or not. Jayson had sent Elsa the text earlier on for her to come and meet him. She looked at the clock that was ticking on the wall. It was already 6:30 PM.I should go since Elsa is not around. She thought.She stood up and wore the clothes she had picked specifically and wore a marching heels to it. It was a simple green gown and a pair of gold shoes. She hurriedly applied little make up to her face and added the lip gloss on her lips.She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. She stepped out of her room and walked down the stairs.“Ellie, where are you off to?” She heard Mercy, her younger sister. She turned towards her. She smiled and pinched her cheeks.“I will be meeting with someone. Will be back soon.” Ellie stated and gave a peck on her forehead.“Please, get me ice cream on your way.” Mercy begged with a pout. Ellie chuckled.“Sure.” She answered and waved at their two maids b
