I walked downstairs to the living room with my bag over my shoulder, I was already dressed for school and was sure my mother was still at home and hadn't left for work.I heard some sound coming from the dining room so I walked over in thought to find Ivana there, but was suddenly disappointed since she wasn’t the one. “Good morning, mom.” I greeted her as I made my way over to her and pecked her cheek.“Morning son, how was your night?” She handed me a coffee she had just made for me and I took a sip while I glanced around the dining room to see if I could catch a glimpse of Ivana."It was good, yours?” I asked, joining her on the dining chair, if we were to have breakfast then Ivana will be down soon, then I could see what he
I got up and walked out of the practice room, heading over to the main hall. I exhaled sharply before opening the door and the moment I stepped in, all eyes were staring at me like I was the celebrity who walked into their daydream.I was handsome, cute eyes, straight legs, nice abs, but not everything a lady would want, I was broken inside and I was aware I am a mess, a mess that couldn’t fall in love with just any girl, a mess that despised that word love because I watched it ruin my mother.“Hi, Robin.” I heard Katherine’s voice and turn to see her smiling at me, she was beautiful, she wore red shorts and a white top, she tied her hair behind her head and her eyes had twinkles in them, she must be happy she made it after the audition, she was very good at what she does, but she seems lost in the head and heart, just like a robot.“Hi.” I cur
I got to the end of the hallway after the big assembly hall, I looked up at the tag on the black glass door, a smile formed on my lips as I knocked on the door.“Yes, please come in.” I heard a female voice call out from inside and I stepped in and was surprised when she turned around. It wasn’t the person I was expecting to see, at least not so young. “How may I help you?” She left the drawer she was rampaging and glanced up at me.“I am…” before I could tell her who I was looking for she grinned and I could see her eyes lit up.“You must be Robin Hiesten.” She pointed at me, getting up from her chair as if I was too popular, I only looked at her quizzically while she made her way over to me. “I know you mus
Seeing that I had lost sight of Hinn Carlos and Ivana, I glared at Clara as if she had been sent to distract me. “Just get lost!” I snapped and turned to leave but she blocked my path with a creased forehead.“Why are you so rude to me?” She asked me almost the same question Ivana always asks.“Because you are a pest and I hate pests.” I glared at her. “Now move.”“I don’t care if you see me as a pest, I only wish you could be friendly to me, a smile and polite words would do,” Clara uttered the words that made me think of Ivana. Was I that bad?I exhaled softly. “I am sorry to burst your bubbles Clara, I don’t make friends with just anyon
I waved Hinn Carlos goodbye after he drove me home, I was glad that I didn’t have to ask Robin to take me home or have him drop me off halfway, also after what happened in my room the other day, I wish never to run into him, but that wouldn’t happen, we attend the same school and lives in the same mansion.I exhaled sharply already aware Robin would be at home, while I was leaving the school with Hinn Carlos I had noticed Robin’s car was not in the parking lot. I mentally calculated how I would sneak into my room without having him see me.Taking a deep breath I turned to go into the mansion, but I halted when I saw him by the door looking straight at my face.Speak of the devil!I looked down at h
I walked out of the bathroom after taking a long shower, I let the water run down my hair to cool off my anger and surprisingly it did. I took the towel off my hair and glanced out of the window to where I had seen Robin, but he was no longer there.I opened the curtains wide, peeking out at every corner but he was gone, I sighed, perhaps he was back in the mansion. Now I can’t wait for Mrs Jane to return, that would be the only time I would love to go downstairs.My stomach grumbled as I made my way to my closet for a comfortable outfit, I had to rub my hand on it and spoke a few words to it to behave itself. Hey, you can’t be hungry right now, we have to wait for Mrs Jane to return first okay?I smiled when my stomach no longer rumbled, but deep down I knew I w
My stomach grumbled and I touched it, pressing my lips together. I was truly hungry and it was now making me uncomfortable, I glanced over at Hinn Carlos who gave me a glimpse and then a smile escaped his lips.He glanced at his wristwatch. “We will have to stop by at a café for a quick lunch.” He told me as he made a u-turn.“Didn’t you say we have to hurry?” I asked mentally cursing my stomach for making these sounds right now and making me feel embarrassed.“We still have a few minutes, whereas you are hungry and I too, I need something.” He flashed me a smile, truly Hinn Carlos was considerate.“Then, let’s just buy a hamburger and coke, which would ho
“BHDS GROUP!”My eyes dilated to see them. When I have seen his image at school and when Kate told me how he was the first person that graduated as a star and now a popular musician, I have anticipation to see him one day.“I overheard Kate and you talking about him, since he was performing live here, I took it you would love to see him and that you would be surprised,” Hinn whispered and I beam.“Thank you.” I glanced at him and concentrated on the performance. They were professionals, they were amazing, I was enchanted by the music, I just couldn’t hear anything else but the music. His voice was beautiful and mesmerized my soul.Funny enough I was not thinking of any
I never thought I would think back to those days again, it was a pain that my dreams remain dreams.It was funny how you only hope for something and hold onto it in your heart but can't catch it.Just like the days ahead, just like waking up, just like the air you breathe and just like the future you expect but gets something else in return.My dream has only been just one, to make it up on stage and get those lights flashing on me while the crowd erupts with cheers, but, those dreams stayed as dreams, just a few days to make it up there, it all got drained like the sand in the sea.Although the pain was lasting, the hurt still felt sore, but I still had something to hold onto, I still got that dream I couldn’t achieve two years back, that hope that I would one day stand on stage still lingered within me and that was what I have decided to leave in my heart."Ivana, you will burn down this house!" I heard my name and turned around just to see Robin turning off the gas. I have been sta
I was not so happy thinking about Ivana who might show up here wearing those miniskirts and shirts that reveal everything.I played the guitar with Hinn Carlos but I didn't stop glancing around for any sight of Ivana.Although I didn’t want to think of it, now I was worried, I shouldn’t have walked away like that, I should have still wait to drive her over here, the thoughts of her getting into a bus and having those boys stare at her in a flirtatious manner was now getting me worked up.It was fun here, crowded with a lot of people who were not only here to listen to our music or watch the show but also to ogle at us, they were flashing me and Hinn Carlos smiles but I was only distracted scanning the place for Ivana.After performing, I stepped out from the crowd. There were a lot of people here and it would be hard to find Ivana in the crowd. This was an outdoor show, it was different from the school show where I could spot her.I glanced at the event list, after my performance with
I knocked on Katherine’s practice room door and turned the doorknob when there was no answer. I can still remember the last time I was here, I had caught her kissing Robin.She has a crush on Robin but it all seems like she has put that aside because of Hinn Carlos.I have no idea who she loves. She has a crush on Robin, but is always with Hinn Carlos and was smiling at Henry when he was introduced by the director. She also has a past with Ryan who she now avoids like flu.I was glad, at least she knew Robin and I were dating since it wasn’t something new.I walked in and met Katherine’s stern gaze. "I said thirty minutes and you are just coming now, do you have a habit of making people wait or you just don't know how to be punctual?"Blah blah blah I said in my head and walked over to her. "I had something to attend to, can we just start?" I told her and she scoffed."We hate each other and I wouldn't let you into my practice room if the director hadn't asked me to do this with you.
I heard a knock on my room door and I groaned covering my ear with my pillow. My alarm had only gone off a few minutes ago and I had only turned it off to go back to sleep but then this knock. I knew who it was, just like the past few weeks, Robin was knocking so early to make me get up for exercise. The main show was in a week and last week ran as fast as it could. I was so stressed out with practice since the director was no longer taking it easy on us. I was exhausted with it coupled with Robin’s consistently waking me up to go with him for a morning run. I take back my words about Robin being caring if ever I have said that in the past, I had told him I needed to practice hard for the show not for him to torture me to lose weight, I can't tell I it was payback for ignoring him and using practice as an excuse. My room door was pushed open and I bit down on my lips, I thought I had locked it when I went to sleep last night. I must have been so tired from doing that. "Wake up
I drove back to the mansion with a gloomy look, I walked inside, it was big and empty, my mother will be home late today, she texted me saying there were businesses she has to attend to.I walked over to the kitchen, taking a bottle of water from the fridge. I drowned it.My thoughts turned back to Ivana walking away and I sighed. "She loves practice more than she loves me." I sighed.I glanced down at my wristwatch, she must still be practising right now, I have no idea when she would be done either and I didn’t check on her before returning home, she didn’t want me to be clingy, perhaps that's a bad sign of dating.I walked back to the living room and turned on the music show. I rarely watch any show, but I have no one to call right now and don't have anything fun to see on my phone and in order not to call Ivana I have to keep it far from me.The show was lovely but I can't stop thinking of Ivana even when I enjoy the music they sang.Honestly, this Anniversary party didn't catch m
Katherine raised her hand and the director turned to her. "Yes, you have something to say, let’s hear it.""Sir, who then is the female lead since we have the male lead already?" She asked and the director smiled as he scanned the room and settled his eyes on me and I blinked rapidly as his lips parted to answer her questions.My heart raced as he looked into my eyes and I pursed my lips, is this what I think it is?"You will find out after the practise since it's already in the newspaper." The director said the words and we all whined, what is the point of keeping us in suspense.Ryan turned to look at me and I saw his gaze from the corner of my eyes. "What?" I asked him, it was offending me that he was always sitting next to me during practice, I wish he could just go somewhere else."I can hear your heart racing." He looked down at my chest and I glared at him. "Don't worry, you are not the female lead." He looked away from me with a smile.He truly has the knack for annoying peopl
The next day there was a crowd gathered around the billboard and I made my way over with Kate who pushed through. The director had told us the names of those who made it to the main show would be on the sign and I had been so nervous all through the night hoping that my name would come up.As we made it over I could see some of the students who had practised with us with tears and disappointment on their faces, my heart raced and I was sure Kate’s heart was racing too.I closed my eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. I opened them to check if my name was part of the list, the first name I saw was Katherine’s. of course she would make it, she was good at dancing.“Ivana, why don’t I see our name?” Kate said the words and fear struck me as I looked at her with a wide gaze, it seemed like my dreams were shattered right now and I felt tears fill my eyes.“That is because you are looking at the wrong side.” I heard Katherine’s voice next to us and we both turned to her as she pointed b
It was busy at school the next day, they were setting this up at the practice hall, the sub show would commerce in the room and everyone seemed nervous.Just yesterday the director has made it clear his intention for this show and it was the same as what was on the board a few days ago, I was not nervous this show wasn’t for me, the act to be performed was not my part to play so I was going to be on standby.It only has to do with the choreography and picking out who wouldn’t participate in the next show. I was with the instrumentalist but we have only composed the song to be used for the show. We would be doing the live performance on the main show but as for this one, they will use the record.I crossed my arms as I stared at the eager reporters who were on standby and also the directors who were here to grace the show. They were talking to the school president and the director. I looked at the stage, they were done with setting things up and the show would be beginning soon.I coul
“Hi mom, Hi Dad,” I sat down in my room talking to my parents over the phone, it was late at night and tomorrow was going to be the first show before the main show, the day I may get eliminated or the day I will have to stay, I don’t seem so confident and need motivation, this was not only the reason I was calling my parents, I know their voice was going to be my strength.“Hi baby, how are you doing?”“I am good,” I told them, they had the phone on a loudspeaker so they could both hear me so well. “I am sorry I have not called for a while now.“We know you have been so busy with school, from over here we heard of the audition and also the show.” My dad spoke and I was surprised it got to them, but then I recalled there were televisions and radio, we weren’t in the ’90s “I miss you too,” I told them, I was glad to leave that town since it was boring and still the same routine every day, but I miss seeing my parents and holding them close to me. “We miss you more Ivana, I hope all is
