“Let’s have a group study, b*tches!” Amanda suggested. “We need that. Midterms is coming...” Amara’s face turned sullen as if her number in a lottery won but she forgot to place her bet. “I need help with calculus,” Mandy presented. “Mine in differential equations,” Kate expressed. “I need help in all subjects.” Lulu gently smashed her face on the table. “Me too...” Amara seconded Lulu. “I really don’t know why I chose to suffer. I don’t know why I chose civil engineering,” she added and imitated Lulu’s position. “I need help too–” Amanda received death glares. “What?” She chuckled. “Coming from you?” Mandy taunted rolling her eyes. “Yeah... you’re one of the top ten in our batch,” Kate commented. “What? Intelligent people struggle too.” Amanda amassed another bunch of sharp stares. “If stares could kill, I would be dead right now. Quit staring!” She glared back at them. “You won’t win! It’s the four of us against you!” Mandy narrowed her eyes more. Here comes another glarin
“Gugu, have you seen Grip?” I put my books in my bag and swung it over my shoulder. “You missed him already?” Gugu wiggled her brows at me. I rolled my eyes and went toward the door. Amanda was still asleep and I don’t want to wake her because she looked so tired from all the shoots her dad made her do. Her face is in every corner of Silverio plastered on huge bulletin boards endorsing perfumes, jewelry, branded apparel, shoes, and a lot more. What she failed to endorse were the number one shampoo, and soap brand in VeM. “Let’s go, Gugu.” I opened the door and there was Grip standing holding a bouquet. “You missed me huh?” He bit his bottom lip suppressing his smile. “For you.” He gave me the flower and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I lowered my face to hide the stretching of the corner of my lips. I closed my eyes and brought the flowers to my nose. It has a peachy-citrus scent. I looked closer, it was a bunch of double apricot-pink yellow roses. My eyes widened in amusement
VICTORIAAmara Beltran. She lost her Bruce. Good for her. Now she was just like me, lonely.She was sitting on a bench here in SU’s garden. I saw how she ran away like a retard at the dorm. I also saw the video. I don’t know if it was her but all I could say was she looked hot while humping on Bruce’s dick.“Hi, Amara. Can I sit beside you?” She didn’t reply but I did anyway. “Students kept on gossiping that you killed Bruce but I don’t believe any of them. I believed in your love for each other more. I’ve been rooting for your love story since day one. I was the witness of your love.” I reached for her hand on the table. She flinched but didn’t shove my hand away. I squeezed her hand gently and smiled at her.I rooted for your love story to end.“I like your hair, Victoria.” She complimented.I gave you an essay and you answered me with just five words? But yeah... everyone loves my hair and no one could have it but me.“Really? Thank you!” I slightly jumped on my seat in excitement,
I’m not Serra’s boyfriend... not yet? F*ck you, Grey. F*ck you, Serra. F*ck you, both! “Hi, Victoria! Can we have a picture with you?” the girl who seemed to be the leader of the group approached me. I gave them a despised look from head to toe and back to their ugly faces. Their hair were frizzy and disgusting like their faces. I don’t want them near me ever. “You got rejected by Xyrus but gained someone better. We heard that you and our Grey Preston are close.” Her statement filled me with bitterness. I got rejected by both, dumbass. “Well yeah... Grey is courting me.” I smiled boastfully after flipping my gorgeous hair. They all squealed. “OMG! My ship is sailing!” “Gria for the win!” “Are you–” “Yes, we are XnG. Xyrus and Grey fans club!” the leader proudly presented. “Aren’t you going to bully me? I mean one of your boys is courting me. Fans are usually over possessive.” I looked at their faces and I could tell they’re fantasizing over my hair. “Of course not. You are
“Your hair is nothing if your reputation is ruined.” I could feel dad’s disappointment all the way here. “You even upset the governor. If it wasn’t for your hair I would have disowned you. Clean your mess, Victoria, and never come home if you haven’t!” As soon as dad hung up I threw my phone and it crashed against the wall. That shocked the students in the hallway. Some even ran away upon knowing of my presence. I’m on my way toward the tourism department. Students kept on stealing glances at me. “Have you heard? She tried to kill Serra.” “And put all the blame to XnG.” “She even made Amara and her roommates fight.” “It was all because of boys, Xyrus, and Grey.” “She was obsessed with them that she could go to such length to murder someone.” “Now I am certain that the only beautiful in her was her hair.” “She’s not that beautiful.” Their words just passed through my ears. I lifted my chin and show them that their words did no harm. It won’t affect me. “She still got some prid
“Victoria Solis, I saw you die...” I rolled over my bed and gasped for air. I clutched the sheet on my sides tightly and breathed in deep. I curled my knees and put my chin on top of it and hugged my legs. My room suddenly turned cold and deadly silent. I looked around and saw my thick curtain dancing with the wind that snooped in through the slightly cracked opened window beside my bed. I reached the handle and closed it. I dragged myself to the bathroom neglecting the pricking pain of the glass shards on the floor that I didn’t bother to clean. I pushed the door slowly and a long loud creak followed. I searched for the switch on the wall and turned the light on. I was soon welcomed by the broken mirror. I lazily walked toward the sink and reached for the faucet. I twirled the handle and the water came out splashing and echoed all over my room. I leaned down and caught the water with my hand then brought it to my face. Coldness kissed my skin and brought shivers down my spine. I h
SERRA“Last twenty-sixth day of August, Bruce Collins committed suicide. On September eighth, as Silverio University celebrates its twenty-fifth Anniversary an accident happened that involved the death of SU’s nightingale, Suzy Williams. Days later, a video turned viral online with bloody pictures of the two students. The video was ended with a bloody question ‘Who’s next?’. A week after, twenty-first of September, the famous shampoo endorser Victoria Solis was found dead in her room at SU’s dorm. Speculation circulated that the three deaths are connected. The netizen’s question is, is there a murderer inside SU’s University?”Amanda turned off the television. She threw herself on her bed face down. “Now they’re blaming dad.”I somehow understand why all the fire was thrown at her dad. Her dad is the governor of the island and has the responsibility to protect his people. Add the fact that the killings also happened inside the school he owns.“My next shoot is after an hour. I’ve alway
“I got an idea!” Amanda smirked at me. She pulled Grip up and nudged him out of our room. “Wait there!” She faced me with an evil grin on her lips. She opened her wardrobe which was twice wider than mine. She pulled a plank out transforming it into a table attached to the wardrobe. She opened a compartment inside her wardrobe. It contained different beauty products and materials. She placed everything she needed on the table before closing the compartment. “Makeover time!” Amanda and Gugu chanted in chorus. She pulled a chair and made me sit on it. She positioned behind me and started doing my hair. I closed my eyes when she sprayed something all over my hair. She plugged in the hair straightener. After some moment I felt heat on my scalp as she tugged my hair using the straightener. I tapped the tip of my toes waiting for her to let go of my hair. After like ten long years she finally stopped. I stood up but she immediately pushed my shoulders down making me sit back. “Not yet. H
