Silence. Nothing could be heard and I didn’t want to make any noise because Amelia was already asleep. I don’t know what she did for our school to let her stay here with me, but that was not my main question. I heard her earlier saying that she already lost someone in that building, the question is, who could it be? Jada told me that there were two people who died there, but the only person she named was Sea, so who could the other one be?
I took my phone from my side table, before texting Eve if she could dig up some dirt about a student from our school passing away in one of Whistler High’s buildings. I’m sure that the school did their best in hiding that fact, that’s why I made sure to ask Eve since she knows how to find things that aren’t supposed to be found.
I grimaced when she asked me about how much I can off
A Poem by SeaPeople are selfish by nature, silently enjoying the ill-fated decisions by other peopleKnown as pure white stones behind the tall strong walls but are truly wickedInnocence and grace are long forgotten after being corruptedTreachery was present for everybody wants to be on top of the steepleA group of masked people trying to solve their next moves like a riddleFragile like a glass on the outside but they were all the same: taintedWorshipped by all. They can burn you alive but are still treated like figures who are saintedNone of them were innocent, all are cruel but the townsfolk will always have them as their modelNothing seems to be making sense in our world because of how it is run by the so-called leaderCastes and inequality would never perish because of Elitist and Social Class‘Upper, Middle and Lower, bullshit!’ The lower has to endure of whatever is o
The thing I wanted to ask Sea in my dreams never came out of my mouth. It was as if I would always forget them whenever I step into her world. Her world that she made looked so pretty, but later on I found out that it was not all rainbows and butterflies. I will never understand how and why Sea had to act like an “impostor.” What was the issue with her twin sister? Why did she kill herself? She did not even try to tell the others that she was not the Sea they all knew, so everybody thought Sea was really dead. One thing I could not help but remember whenever I close my eyes is that they really do look alike. You would never suspect that someone was the twin of the other because they look like they were one person. I know most twins look alike, but then again, we know one twin would always have something like a birthmark or any form of mark that would tell she’s the other twin, right? But Sea and her twin sister looked the same. It made me question that what if the one who fell, the on
A new school means a fresh start. Now that I’m given a chance to have a better life through being a scholar in one of our country’s best school, I’ll do my best to make my dreams come true. The only thing that actually made me think twice of accepting the scholarship here was my younger cousin who I left at home with our abusive aunt. Although our aunt rarely hurts us anymore because we’re all grown up, still, I can’t believe that I left her there. The feeling of guilt is what keeps me up at night, and I sometimes still think that I might have been so selfish because I still chose to leave her alone.I was interrupted from overthinking again when I felt the door to my new room opened. Oh, right! I remembered that the cute girl who guided me here named Eun told me that I have a roommate, and even told me that my roommate was really one of the most respected students here because of her title and accomplishments despite only being a junior.
Just when I thought that I would be eating alone, a girl who I assume is also Asian came to me and even asked me for my name. I gave her a small smile, admiring her features and her cute mole in the upper part of her lips. She was the type of beauty that I will always notice despite a bunch of people around me.“I’m Nina,” I finally answered when I realized that I was already too busy admiring her. It wasn’t such a known fact, but I had always been interested in girls rather than boys, I don’t even remember a time that I was attracted to guys.She told me that I could sit with them, and I immediately agreed. I didn’t like the idea of eating alone,and she looks like someone who doesn’t have a high profile in this school, so I assume that it’s safe to be with her. When we reached th
There was something dark and mysterious about this school. It was far from what it is showing to the world, it was not all rainbows and butterflies, it was actually far from it. Although there are some facts about it, like how the girls here are well-behaved, but the thing is, the students are only prim proper when the teachers are there, when thre are eyes watching them like a hawk carefully examining its prey, and it’s not because they respect them, but it’s because they are scared of them. I was only observing our classroom, but that was what I already thought about this place.And the favoritism! They would always ask the girls who are of lighter skin colors in a nice way, but always rude to those with a darker skin color. Colorism and Racism is evident, but no one said a thing. They were all aware of all these, but they chose to ignore all of it. It was sad that I wasn’t classmates with my new found friends, because if so, I feel like one of them would
It was dark. I couldn’t see anything because I was blindfolded by a group of girls who I did not have the chance to see their faces. I am beyond angry. I could taste blood because I had been biting my lower lip too hard. I can hear faint voices talking to one another, and I wanted to get this blindfold off me to at least see them. I wanted to see who are these cowards who have to cover my eyes just so they wouldn’t get reported for doing such thing inside the school premises.“Let me go!” I yelled, angry, because all I received were laughter from them. I cursed at myself mentally for not even trying to at least know other people’s voices, because now, I can’t seem to identify anyone. They were all just faceless voices.“We’ll let you go once you at least stay away from our president.”I felt my heard dropped when the girl said that. President? They want me to stay away from Amelia? But isn’t that what I
After what happened that night, I didn’t know how I should be acting around Amelia anymore. I didn’t know if I should keep the cold act or just drop it. I wanted to ask my friends, but I was so scared of what their reaction would be if I ever did act nice towards our enemy.“You’re thinking. What is it?” I heard Eun asking me. She was just laying on my lap and I was not even at all shocked that she was observing me. It was one of her amazing traits, she was a good observer, so good that she’ll notice how many times a person gulped or opened his/her mouth. I didn’t know if she had a really good memory but she’s just really good at what is assigned to her in this group.“Should I be nice to Amelia?” I asked, not holding myself back this time. I really need to let this ou
If someone told me that I’ll be able to talk to one of our country’s elite people, I would have laughed while thinking that it’s a shit joke. But hey, here I am today, talking to Amelia Harriet Williams, and she isn’t just someone who is rich, she is extremely rich. Her family came from old money and I even heard that her family is related to the king of Scotland during the old times. People in our country respect the Williams family, they were loved by all because they were generous and active in charities, and Amelia is one of the most protected Williams for she’s the only girl in their family in this generation, But what I couldn’t understand is the fact that she seemed nervous and awkward while talking to me, I mean, she’s a William, why is she acting like this towards a commoner like me? It’s making me wonder what
