I had wanted her to leave but not with this condition, now I was worried sick, how was her father? Was he alright? Was he going to be alright? And my mother was not yet back, it was already late at night and I don’t think she would make it back home today.
The mansion suddenly felt so big, bigger than it is and quiet, it was no longer lively as it was when my mother and Ivana were here. I spaced around the balcony upstairs staring into the dead of the night, or the mansion was a bit far from some residence building. I had loved it this way, but now it is so quiet that I wish for the noise.
I had seen Ivana’s tears when my mother told her the news, it was quite disturbing. Has she stopped crying? I ran my hand through my hair. I needed to get her sad face off my head, but I couldn’t.
I took out my phone and scroll
Thank you all for reading, book two is on the way
"No Benny, you lost that right!" I heard my mother backed at the person on the other side of the line and I knew it had started again, a conversation that always repeats itself.
I spaced around the entrance of the concert hall as my eyelashes fluttered, my phone on my hand and my lips moved quickly as I spoke to the person on the other side of the line, my heart was racing, no it was beating faster than normal.“Oh Kate hurry up, else we would miss this show,” I told her quickly and my legs itching to go into the concert hall without her. This was the show I never missed for anything because my favourite person was in there, correction…the only man I admire was in there.“I know… I will be there in five minutes.” I could tell Kate was running since I could hear her quick breathing from the other side of the line.“Okay.” I
“Ivana, I am transferring.” “What?” I turned my eyes sharply at her and I couldn’t believe she had said those words. “Why?” “I am going to attend Larry High,” Kate told me softly and I blink, Larry High, my dream school, Kate was going over to the City? “It is far away from this place, why are you going?” There was fear in my eyes, I would be so bored at this place if Kate leaves, it would be boring as hell. “It is a music school in Ivana, and my music teacher recommended that school for me. My parents had made the necessary arrangements for me to go over to that place.” I could see the look in Kate’s eyes. She was excited to go, but she was sad she would be separating from me.
After Kate left, everything became so lonely, it has been only a week since she left but it felt like a year, the normal boring route began. I leave for school in the morning and go through the long boring lectures from my teacher. During the lunch break, I would stare up at the sky as if I could count the clouds since there was no one to talk to.After school I go straight to my parents' cookie shop, help a bit and then return home for the night. I could no longer eat like I used to, I lost all my appetite just like I lost the reason to smile and nothing interests me anymore, everything just seems to lose its colours to me.“Ivana.” I heard my name and turned to look at my father who had just called out my name, he was with a note on his hands and I could tell it was something about making a new recipe for his cookies.
I stepped out of the airport gate, my luggage in my hand, I took off my sunglasses and inhale the fresh breeze that runs through my face as if they were welcoming me,I was wearing a grey shirt and a black jean, another it was different from what I wore when I first came to this airport, I looked taller than that little kid that was taken away, the appearance of this place has changed and of a truth, it looks more awesome, I could tell that 14 years wasn’t a just a year that runs by.“Finally I am back.” A smile escaped my lips as I took out my mother’s picture and looked at the face of the woman I have always looked at before going to bed as a kid. “I will see you soon mom.” I put the picture back into my wallet and got into the cab that had come by to take me.
“You? What the heck!” I looked at my mother waiting to hear the reason why this lady was here and worst of all with a suitcase that looks bigger than mine and I wanted to block all the ideas playing in my head and telling me that she was coming here to stay. “Have you both met before?” My mother looked at both of us in surprise and then I watched the girl who had just stepped inside with her open her lips to speak. “We met at the crossroad,” She told my mother and then turned to me with an accusing finger I wish I could cut out right here. “He stole my taxi.” I scoffed at her words. “Your taxi?” I rolled my eyes. “Do you own any?” I sighed and I knew from the start that I would hate a lady like her. “Not tha
The room Mrs Jane had given to me was so lovely, it was covered in pink just like my fairy house when I was a kid, this was like a princess bedroom and a very beautiful one, I have my bathroom and the bed is so comfortable if this was what the City was like then I wish my parents would have to move here rather than stay over at that small town.I heard a knock on my door when I was about to start unpacking my bags and I walked over to the door and exhaled sharply to calm my excitement before opening the door.“Can I come in?” Mr Jane asked with a smile and she was too elegant to look at and beauty should be her second name.“Yes please,” It was her house and I wish she could come in anytime without asking, she was just too kind and lovely.
I had wanted her to leave but not with this condition, now I was worried sick, how was her father? Was he alright? Was he going to be alright? And my mother was not yet back, it was already late at night and I don’t think she would make it back home today.

I just looked outside the window, my heart had suddenly begun to play tricks on me. I wondered what had come over Robin, why he had acted like he did just a few minutes ago and I wish we would get home immediately so that I can leave this car and not feel the heat I felt right now.I couldn't look at his face, I didn't want to and what more, he was driving slowly, the way home was still far and I didn't want to speak to him, not anymore and I was glad he didn't speak to me either.I could still feel the light brush of his lips, if I hadn't covered my lips in time then he would have deepened the kiss, he was too mean, teasing me that way.I hate him, I truly hate him!We arrived at the mansion and without hesitation
“Ivana,” I called out her name and stretched my hand to touch her shoulder, but her cold gaze made me withdraw my hands. “Are you okay?” I asked her and she didn’t respond. “About what you saw at the practice room…”“Move,” She cuts me off coldly. “I have other things to do.” She turned to walk away but I held her back. “Let go of me.” I have searched for her for quite a long time to let her go just like this.“My mother needs you back home immediately,” Ivana looked up at me like I was telling another one of my lies, I know I had told her that I have no relationship with Katherine, but she had witnessed something that would make her believe more in it, so there was nothing I could say that would make her believe me and I was no longer re
“Just leave Katherine, I have to practice, I will be up next,” I told Katherine as I took out my guitar, I looked at it and could remember watching Ivana play, she was good at this, the way she handles the guitar was as though she was a professional, has she learnt from someone?“You didn’t come to watch me sing.” I heard the nosy voice of Katherine and looked up in anger, this girl was one hell of a nuisance and here I was thinking that this practice room would be quiet and calm. “Tell me, why didn’t you show up on time when you knew I would be performing second place?”I scoffed. “Do you think you are a celebrity because you are called a dancing machine by this whole school, or do you think everyone would want to watch you display one of those unemotional moves? Wake up gi
To my surprise, he handed me his guitar and I looked at it and glanced up at him with big eyes. “Go on in and do your best.” He flashed me a smile before letting go of my hands.“I will.” I nodded at Hinn who was smiling at me and I followed him over to the audition hall and ran into the hall climbing up on the stage and I saw Kate who seemed to have been buying time for me smile and I grinned back before turning my eyes to the judges and the handsome director.“I am Ivana Kimbuersy.” I introduced myself as I bowed and my eyes met that of the director and he looked down at his file and then back to me.“I am sorry to say this but you have just missed your chance.” He told me and looked over at the door. “Next.” He c
I paced around my room listening to some music tracks I happened to find, I was still deciding on what to sing, it was absurd that I hadn't gotten a song and it was the audition day today. Kate had called me earlier today and told me she was changing her music, she said she wouldn’t be singing any love song for Robin, that she was finally stopping her one-sided love.I was already dressed in a blue dress, I let my hair fall down my shoulders and applied light makeup. I was ready for this audition, but there was no song to sing. Kate had promised to lend me her guitar since I would be performing first before her.I had practised some tunes with her guitar and had written a lot of songs with it, but now all seems to be falling apart as Robin had said. I was sure Katherine was not making this tough decision as I was right now.
I walked out of an empty practice room, the whole school looked deserted, it was also late at night, tomorrow was the audition and I had gotten carried away by practice and didn’t know that it had gotten this late.Kate had left early to her tutor’s place and I was left alone again just as before. I clenched hold of my bag and hurried down the stairs, taking a short route to the exit. I had thought a lot of people would also stay over to practice but it seems everyone got tired and left.The cold night air blew its gentle breeze on my face and It felt flushed. I glanced over my shoulder just to make sure I was safe. I didn’t know if I would find a bus, but I held enough money to board a taxi so I was not a bit worried.I exhaled softly before putting on my
I walked down the hallway with Hinn Carlos, Nicholas and Lukas and they were engaging in an argument that I was less interested in. It was about a lady Nicholas has finally fallen in love with, but we all know that this was just a love that will last for a day or two.I was walking behind them when I saw Ivana coming this way, she was holding her handbag over her shoulder while shaking her head, her lips were moving and her brows were furrowed which meant one thing. She was ridiculing someone in her head.I scoffed, she was exactly like someone who is mental and needs to be urgently treated.“Ivana wait up,” Hinn called out and rushed over to her. I rolled my eyes, could these two people ever stop showing their affection to the whole school.
I walked out of that assembly hall with Kate, there were no classes today, it was rather a free day since the audition is tomorrow.“How are you preparing for the audition?” Kate, who seemed happier than I do, asked me as she skipped even while carrying that heavy instrument, she must have gotten used to the weight by now.“Very well,” Hinn Carlos had taught me very well although I feel bad in rejecting his proposal, I like Hinn Carlos, but not in the way he wants me to, and I didn’t want to go into something I would regret, I had waited to see if I would regret rejecting him, but I couldn’t feel that way.I haven’t told Kate about it, if I tell her she would also call me silly and start working up her brain for some nasty ideas to b
