' IF YOU HAVE ONLY ONE SMILE IN YOU, GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. DON'T BE SURLY AT HOME, THEN GO OUT IN THE STREET AND START GRINNING ' GOOD MORNING TO TOTAL STRANGERS'.
....
Rachael's life was governed by two major principles, which are: doing the right thing and getting it right.
With Gloria on the page, she was more determined to do the right thing by making Mr. Stanley face the wrath of the law for defiling a teenager. A time change was needed. Mr. Stanley needed to be placed where he belongs.
People like him are the reasons why some parents find it difficult to entrust the care of their children into the hands of teachers. It is people like Mr. Stanley that would go through crooked means just to get what they want especially when it comes to their sexual pleasure. How sickening!
The group have all made pl
Fear, panic, and anxiety were boldly written on their faces. "Gloria, Gloria," Joy shouted at the phone.They have heard Gloria mumbling and yawning.The cop was the first to make a move as she ran inside. Kevin and Andrew followed. Rachael felt stupefied as she was stuck in one position. She felt as if air passed through her. She knew Gloria was in trouble, but why was she hesitating and not helping. "Rachael, Rachael," Joy's voice finally startled her as she realized she has not moved from the position she was in. "We should, should. uh," Rachael's voice trailed off. She was panicking obviously. Her heart was beating fast making her unable to move her legs She knew Gloria was in trouble but she was hesitating, why? "Rachael!" She finally broke out of her trance as she saw Joy looking slightly agita
Silence enveloped the room as Mrs. Gladys stood still in her position, her eyes filled with tears. She deserved to be shouted at, beaten, or even killed because she was a bad mother. A mother that never cared about the welfare of her only daughter. All she and her husband cared about was money. Money is the root of all evil was no doubt a bitter truth in a great sense. They spend most of their lives harnessing wealth without thinking of other things, most especially their daughter. Their love of money was like chasing after wind, as it is in futility. Their emotional, physical and spiritual strength drained at the expense of wealth. "Rachael, please, I don't want to see her. Just tell her to get out of my life," Gloria held on to Rachael as she wept. The three others simply bowed their heads in form of greeting before leaving the room. Ther
' THE WEAK CANNOT FORGIVE, BUT THE STRONG CAN'. Rachael felt as if a cold wind swept right through her at the sight in front of her. In front of her was Gloria, with a bottle of something that looked like poison. With the speed of lightning, she grabbed the bottle off her hand, happy she came right on time to stop her from committing the evil deed, startled at heart because of the sight she witnessed. Gloria simply bowed her head as disappointment, sadness, heartaches, and emptiness were right over her face. She felt her world was upside down, and she felt death was calling her. She recalled how her whole life started till this very moment. The years she has spent on masturbating, a grievous sin toward God. Not to talk of the weird feeling she began to develop on Mr. Stanley, the man she trusted. Everything see
Sometimes in life, we face difficulties, challenges that threaten our lives, but the best thing is to overcome them. Living with resentment will not help, instead will make one sad and down. Gloria finally decided to let go of her past after passing through those traumatic stages in her life. Her father's surgery was successful as father and daughter later bonded. The family became whole again. However, Gloria decided to leave the country for the time being. To her, staying will only bring memories she wanted to bury. Her parents agreed instantly. Not only do they sell their unnecessary belongings, house, and extra cars, they also planned on entering the entrepreneurship world, as well as having their own business. One that won't take their time and energy. Gloria finally felt happy again. She was once again ready to be the best she
Kevin was shocked for a while as he stared at this fellow. Her resemblance with Rachael was top-notch. The person had long blonde hair and pink lips and the same pair of eyes as Rachael's. The only differences between them would probably be their voices or walking sense. The girl stood up leaving the shocked Kevin who was dazed for a while. "Hey, I am Lydia. Sorry, I bumped into you, " she smiled sweetly. Kevin got out of the little trance he was in as he stood up, clearing his throat slightly. "My bad... I am Kevin. I should be the one apologizing instead, " Kevin simply said. Somehow, he felt this person must have blood ties with Rachael to have such a resemblance with her. "You look dazed for a while there. Anything the matter?" Lydia questioned, making eye contact with Kevin. "You share resemb
There is a saying that goes thus: 'The devil you know is better than the angel you just met. Kevin felt lost in words at Lydia's offer. It was quite a tricky one. One thing he could deduce was that Lydia seems to know more than just a newcomer. While she probably has a nice expression, something still seems off to Kevin. What does she even mean getting the heart of her sister for him? She is probably not a con artist, right? He truly believes if Rachael is the one meant for him, then it would be. He will rather be like the Shulamite woman who was quite cautious with her feelings for the shepherd boy. "Love is a treasure that we all seem to find because being with the person you always love is the greatest place. You know that right? Do you even like her?" Kevin only looked on, as Lydia spoke. Since she is Rachael's step-sister, maybe it would not be ba
A frown crept to Rachael's face not only because she saw her lookalike, but she could feel the vibe zooming out to be exactly like her's. Just seeing Lydia in front of her gave her this weird feeling in the pit of her stomach. She has been having a bad feeling about Zack, but seeing her lookalike only brought questions to her mind. "Hi. And you are?" Rachael simply asked as Lydia went inside the empty class. Rachael simply closed the door, wanting to know more about the person in front of her. "I am your step-sister, Lydia Jenkins, the second born. I believe you are my elder sister.," Lydia beamed with a smile as Rachael simply nodded. She felt slightly angry but she knew she had to hide it. She is also the kind that tends to tell people not to judge people easily. Here is her sister who she has never seen for the past seventeen years of her life. It seems her dad's genes
Rachael felt her mind going berserk at her mother's request. It was one that seemed rather impossible. A big part of her heart does not want to see her father again. She has been through the seventeen years of her life hoping she would grow up and make her mother proud. Yeah, her mother only because so far she has been the best and supportive parent ever. "Please, Rachael. I know this is a difficult one for you, especially since he never asked of you till you grew up. Just see him this once, and hope he will feel sober and probably feel like sharing the bond with you as a father to a daughter," Mrs. Eva held her child's hand as Rachael simply looked on. " What if I don't want to? You are the only fatherly figure I know in my entire life. I do not feel like seeing him, as he has never for once asked of me. Is he worthy of being a father? He never cared about you even when he commi
