Caroline's pov
From where I sat, my heart was beating loud against my chest.
I was damn so nervous.
I badly want Donald to choose me and thinking about it, I should be the one he ought to choose.
We've been friends for years now and apart from James before Sophia showed up, I was the only one privileged to go close to Donald and also touch him.
I did things to Donald that other students couldn't do.
I get to chat happily with him not ignoring me, teased him and touched him.
And I've always been the envy of all other girls.
I know girls have always wanted to be in my shoes and that had boosted my ego.
The cafeteria was dead quiet as all eyes were on Donald, expecting him to call his prom.
The suspense was killing and I just couldn't wait for him to call out my name so the students would chant my praises.
He wasn't saying anything, not looking at a particular pe
Chloe's povWait!Did I just hear her correctly?"Ma'am?" I called, wanting to be sure I did hear her correctly. That it isn't a dream or my imagination."I said you're hired. You can join the other maids in arranging and maintaining my son's room and daughter's room. And I hope you do a good job." She smiled at me."Wow! Thank you ma'am. I'll sure do my best." I replied enthusiastically."But ma'am, who's your daughter? I mean, her name and your son too?" I asked politely even if I already know who her son is but her daughter? I have no idea.Apart from Sophia, I haven't seen any young girl that looks like this pretty woman or her son.Or she isn't around?"Oh! My son… His name is Donald and my daughter name is Sophia. Don't worry, you'll meet them later when they are back from school." She smiled and her tone was filled with so much pride – that clearly showe
Caroline's povThroughout that day in school, I didn't enter the classroom till it was closing already. I was too ashamed to enter into the classroom and face the students – who'd probably mock at me.I was not ready to hear their taunting words that they would probably throw at me.They sure were expecting me to be Donald's date and I've been all eager and proud about it.And now Donald didn't choose me – making it so humiliating.I was in the garden, crying my eyes out and preparing both my body and soul for the mocking words I'm gonna sure get from the students - especially the ones that I had rubbed it to their faces that I would definitely be chosen.Why would Donald do this to me?Why didn't he choose me?I've known him for years and he didn't choose me but Sophia who just came in within just a short period of time - he chose her.What did he even see in her?
Sophia's pov"So prom is like a custom where students dressed in fashionable dresses and engage in different activities. Like the dancing, dinner and date. It's just like a night party but it's mostly for the final year student in high school. So, I don't know how to really explain a date to you – but it's a person that goes together with another person that is, a girl as a prom date to a boy. And there's always a king and queen for prom or the best prom couple." Donald explained and sighed.He stared intently at me, as if searching my eyes for answers."Wait, I hope I wasn't talking to myself? Did you understand?" He asked and blinked his eyes and shook me lightly.I let out a light giggle and swat his hands away."You weren't talking to yourself, okay? And I did only understand few words but the others, I'll just pretend that I understand." I said truthfully."So? Let me ask you
Sophia's povI continued to stare at Donald as I dangled the necklace in front of him.How the hell did he get it?Why is it with him?There are so many unanswered questions that I want him to answer so badly."Sophia… It's not what you think, okay?" He twitched his lips and moved closer to meet me. We stood, facing each other and not saying anything.The room was quiet with just the sound of our breathing.The silence was starting to make me feel uncomfortable because Donald wasn't saying anything - just staring at me, and I was staring back at him - like we were having a staring contest."So?" I cleared my throat, breaking the uncomfortable silence between the both of us.Donald broke the eye contact and sat on his bed, staring at his feet."Talk to me Donald! Did you steal this necklace? Why is it with you?" I asked, trying hard no
Donald's pov"Hey dude." James smiled as he sat down on the vacant seat beside me.We just rounded off our chemistry practical class in the library. Just few students just like James and I decided to stay.We were given twenty minutes before another class will commence.From the way James had been staring at me, I knew something was going on in that head of his.I knew that he had questions to ask me and it's question that's gonna make me speechless and stutter.I know James too well. He had a mischievous grin as he did his own practicals, but he occasionally glanced at me.Now sitting down with a smirk on his face, I knew he was up to something."Yeah. I know that look James, so spill it out already." I groaned and rolled my eyes at him.James let out a hearty laughter and hit me lightly on my shoulder."Yeah, I know you too well James, your look gave you away." I said.
Sophia's povI'd pay a hundred dollar just to see the look on Chloe's face all the time.She looked like a bloated goat and her face had gone all pale as if she's just seen a ghost.She looked shocked as she continued to stare at me."What!" She finally shouted in anger."A boiled orange juice? How am I supposed to do that?" She asked, with her eyes splitting fire. And I know if she had the chance, she'd smack me hard on my face.But then, I'm her boss and Donald's mom had strictly told her to answer every of my need.She dare not go against me, else she'll loose her job.I was shocked when Donald's mum had introduced her to Donald and I as a new maid - that will be attending to our needs and tidy up our rooms.At first I was pissed because I'd been seeing her all the time, but at another thought, I was happy.I'm gonna frustrate her and use her like trash till she decide
Donald's povI sighed and turned to stare at Sophia whose gaze was on the floor.She didn't look bright like she just did something she liked."Sophia?" I called and sat beside her on the bed."I thought you just did what was in your mind, I know you don't like her and you don't want her here either." I said and placed my arm on her shoulder.I heard her sigh and she took her gaze to stare at me."When I came here for the first time, you told me that I should make sure I ain't lying to your mom - that if you find out that I'm a spy, I'll regret it. I know my characters were strange and you were irritated by it. You were always pissed at me and truth is that, I didn't like that you were always angry with me. I was acting strange and did strange things too..." Sophia said, to my surprise and confusion too.I didn't quite understand her and where exactly she's heading to.She was st
Becca's pov"So grandma, how have you been?" I asked grandma as we ate dinner quietly but I decided to break the silence.Grandma was chewing on her veggies slowly and her attention was just on the food.Mom was lost in thought because she barely even touched her meal – just tossing on it.She was just stabbing the meatballs with her fork and I felt for the poor thing ; she was stabbing the meatballs so hard like it was the cause of her problem.Grandma cleared her throat and turned to look at me. She wiped the corner of her lips with the dinning hankie."It was boring. The smell of the hospital made me more sick. I couldn't wait to get discharged and go home." She shrugged and continued eating."Yeah. I hate the smell of hospital too grandma." I scrunched up my face while she chuckled lightly."You couldn't even visit me at the hospital, Becca. You're a
