CHAPTER 8 – THE SPARKSOphelia entered the class with her spawns, chewing gum loudly she used a different tie, different from the other ties. Normally the students wear blue ties but she's wearing black, standing out. "Can't wait to see if the new girl will be hotter than me" she said, blowing bubbles from her gum as she looked at her face in her mirror. "No one can beat your face, trust me," Lilac said and she smiled. "You don't have anything to say, Floyd?" Ophelia faced her. "Your face is always dazzling, no match," Floyd said and Ophelia stroked her hair. "Is Floyd a dog? Why does it seem like it" Yolanda said. "Who knows" Rhythm replied beside her and she sighed "I told you I don’t want friends so shush please," Yolanda said. Since she forcefully helped her with the community service yesterday, she has been following her around, insisting on being her friend. "But Yolanda...." Rhythm said. "No buts please," Yolanda said sternly. SCHOOL PARK Lotus's car stopped and sh
CHAPTER 9 – FREAKING PROBLEMS"Starr, I should cut your hand and make it into a frame to paste in my room, you held her hand" Bluey gushed. Martin is still staring at Lotus, not listening to their conversation. "I dunno why, I'm not a fan of making contact with girls but....I couldn't help it, she's perfect" Starr smiled, returning his stare to Lotus. Bluey saw Martin staring too and tapped him. "Tripping helplessly already? See you distract me, but I'm distracted without you, I don't know how to focus baby teach me how to...." Bluey sang and Martin hit him. "Stop making me wanna hit you" he smiled. "But she's hard not to look at seriously, she's a distraction for all the guys in here swears, including me," Bluey said. "Ok attention" Miss Stacy said and they all went silent. "Each department, please flip over to your pages' ' she addressed. "Page 59" Constance whispered to Lotus and she opened too. "We only need a lead pianist and every singer must sing, one
CHAPTER 10 – A WICKED PLAN AGAIN? The familiar scent filled her nose again and she looked up to see Starr, he's just entering the cafeteria with his friends."Those are our class princes, are you crushing on anyone?" Rhythm asked curiously. "Crush?" Lotus asked confusedly. "Do you love anyone? Like at first sight?" Yolanda asked. Lotus took another glance at Starr. "No," she replied. "But why was Starr holding your hand?" Constance asked. "He helped me" "Oh" Yolanda said. Lotus's eyes followed the guys everywhere and Starr started looking for her too. He saw her and smiled. "Guys let's join their table" he said, moving there already. Martin and Bluey followed and when they sat with them, Constance and Rhythm started blushing. They always sit alone but the fact that they're sitting with them presently… "So because of this pretty girl, you sat with us," Yolanda said. "Who won't?" Bluey winked. "Were you scared? Was that why you didn't sing well?" Starr asked
CHAPTER 11 – STUBBORN is GOODNESS"Anita!!!" Lotus shouted and for a while, a short wind blew, Anita was gone when it stopped. "No, no she's my only companion, she's my only one... Anita" she cried slowly. She squatted and continued crying silently, burying her face in her knees. "Eonni" Anita's voice called and she stopped crying suddenly, she looked up to see Anita standing in front of her. "Anita!" She stood, rushing to her. She carried her off the ground, hugging her tightly. "Anita don't go" she sobbed, rubbing her hair. "I hope I don't get punished by the heavens for doing this" the grim reaper said and Lotus quickly looked up to see him. "I've decided to give her more time," he said. "Thanks, I'm so grateful , thanks for not taking her away" Lotus said and he vanished. "I was so scared, I didn't want to leave you yet" Anita said as Lotus rubbed her face. "I love you little one" she said. "I love you too Lotus" Anita smiled, wiping Lotus's tears. "But your tears hav
CHAPTER 12 – IGNORANCENEXT MORNING Starr opened his eyes to see his mom sleeping beside him. He could still remember being in pain last night for some minutes before sleeping off in her arms. He sat up and touched her hair fondly. "Honey" she whispered when she opened her eyes. "Mum I'm sorry, I scared you again," he said guiltily. "It's not your fault, not like you wanted to, so stop feeling guilty" she replied and he hugged her. Davis came in immediately and they broke the hug. "Judy I'm so sorry, I was in the middle of an important conference last night, and my phone wasn't even with me. I missed your calls" he quickly said. "Honey dress up for school, I'll make you breakfast," she said and stood. "It wasn't my fault trust me," he said, trying to hold her but she just walked out without talking. "Gosh! I don’t like it when she's angry with me" he said, sitting beside Starr. "I'll talk to her, don't worry," Starr said. "I trust you buddy" Davis replied and they hit knu
CHAPTER 13 – ANGELIC VOICEShe was about to go in when someone held her. "Starr!" She said, "Are you gonna run again? I thought we were friends?Why does it seem like you're avoiding me?" He said. "I....I... I'm... Lotus touched her hair, thinking about what to say. "You were talking freely with Martin in the morning, why can't you do the same with me?" He asked She finally looked into his eyes and started seeing herself again. The pomelo scent filled the air again and she quickly looked away from him. She took her hand from him and smiled before entering. "Gosh! Did I do something wrong?" Starr wondered. "Are you now talking alone?" Martin appeared. "I'm just worried," he replied. "Ok the kings are complete" Bluey said, jumping in. They went into the shiny big house where various students were already seated, having fun drinking juices, some were eating popcorn and snacks. Lotus is standing in the middle of the place, obviously looking for her friends, all eyes are on he
CHAPTER 14 – THE ENTHRALLING HUGShe just stood, looking at everyone and smiling. Yolanda and Constance forced their way into the middle and took her away from there though the tough students still kept following her till they got out. She was taken into Yolanda's car and they all entered with her. "Babe you're popular already...geez I wanna be like you!" Constance said. "Why didn't you sing in class yesterday? But you gave us a shocker tonight, I was astounded and mesmerized and amazed and...I love you Lotus baby!" Rhythm said. "I'll be your manager, I'm sure you'll get invitations from now on," Yolanda said. "Invitations for?" Lotus asked. "Singing of course, I can't wait!" Yolanda winked. "How can you be so perfect...I mean you're pretty and beautiful and gorgeous and cute and adorable and... wait, what else can I say?" Constance said and they all laughed. "You have a rare long hair too and you have the voice of an angel, I'm glad to be your friend" Yolanda said. "Me too"
CHAPTER 15 - REVENGE "Oh! I forgot to say you'll need a phone!What if your new friends ask for your number" Anita said. "I saw them using it, I should have got one, I forgot!" Lotus replied and her eyes flashed blue on the table, a phone appeared. "Whoa! Cool magic, so where did this phone come from?" Anita asked. "My thoughts," she replied. "How can a phone probably come from your thoughts?" "Power of magic" Lotus replied and opened her right palm, a heap of ashes is right there. "My ashes!" Anita gasped shockingly. "Not from my thoughts this time around, but from the car you were burnt with, my thoughts brought it here anyways" Lotus as. "What are you gonna do with it?" "Your classmate..." Lotus smiled. "Do Hyun," Anita said. "Oh...Do Hyun is her name, her torment starts tomorrow" Lotus smiled. "How?" Anita asked.
