Elara's POV
I heard my alarm ringing, then I opened my eyes, I just stare at the ceiling for a few minutes wondering what disaster was coming for me today. Eversince Tita Minerva and Maeci showed up, my life turned into a mess. They ordered me to do those things that I didn't even do before when Mama is still alive. Hay! I wish Mom was here, so no one could ever bully me like this. I miss you Mom. I really really really miss you. And before I knew tears starts to fall down from my eyes again. It's really tired crying but I can't do anything. I can't wait until I turned 18 to get out from this hell. I was still lying on my bed when Papa walk to my room. " Good morning Elara " Papa greeted me " Good morning too Pa " I lazily answered then sat down. " Can I ask you a favor anak? " Papa asked with a persuading tone. " What is it? " I ask. But I'm guessing that I knew what he's going to ask for. Maybe its for tita Minerva or that two-faced Maeci. " Can Maeci stay in your room? " ask Papa in a calm tone. " What? No, Pa I don't want to share a room with her " I answered in an angry tone " No, who you're gonna share a room? Maeci will stay here for a mean time. Just for a mean time Elara. You'll gonna move to the guest room " Papa is persuading me to give up my room. " Why are you doing this to me Pa? Instead of mourning with me, comforting me or be there for me, where are you Pa? There you are, you're so happy with your new family.While I'm here, still mourning the death of my mother. Did you ever think what Mom would feel? Did you even think what I would feel? I wish ikaw nalang namatay at hindi si Mama " I shouted those kay Papa The next thing I knew Papa slap me really hard. The thing that I have never experienced before because he treated me like a Princess. My heart was pounding and aching not because of what he did to me but because of how he treated me. He treated me like I'm not his daughter. " How dare you say those words to me Elara Wright? Hindi mo alam ang mga pinagdaanan ko at mga tiniis ko para sabihin mong lahat ng yan. At wala kang karapatang isama ang pamilya ko sa galit mo " he angrily shouted to me. " Wow! Sila pamilya mo ako hindi? " umiiyak kong turan kay Papa. I was crying very hard that I can't even understand what I'm saying. " Gaano ba kahirap yung hinihingi ko sayo Elara? Para itong kwarto lang? " galit na turan nya sakin. Saka naman pumasok ang bruhang si Maeci. She's smirking at me pero pagka harap nya kay Papa , nagpaawa na yung mukha nya. Such an actress. " Papa pwedeng sa guest room nalang ako manatili , wag nating pilitin si ate Elara kung ayaw nya " pagpapa awang sabi nya. Arrgghh. I. want to role my eyes on her, pero sa case ng mata ko wala na. Magang maga na kasi kakaiyak. At baka masampal nanaman ako ulit. Hay! Buhay nga naman oh. " No, sweetie, papayag din si ate Elara mo, kailangan ko muna syang kausapin . Sa labas ka muna " pagpapakalma niya sa bruhildang si Maeci. " Okay po Papa. Sorry ate Elara " sagot nya ng may panunuya. " Can't you be more considerate Elara? Hindi ka ba naaawa sa kapatid mo? Ngayon lang sya makakaranas ng ganito. But you, since the day you were born you were treated like a Princess. Hindi ka ba naawa sa kapatid mo? " mahabang singhal nya sakin. " Its still a no, Pa. Eh ikaw po hindi ka rin po ba naawa sakin? " balik na tanong ko sa kanya. " Nagmamatigas ka pa talaga Elara. Yaya itransfer ninyo lahat ng gamit ni Elara sa guest room sa baba. At wag nyo siyang palabasin hanggat hindi ko sinasabi. Wag mokongginagalit Elara. Don't try me. Be considerate enough Elara, dahil hindi mo alam ang hirap na dinanas nya" galit na galit na singhal niya saka umalis Tinignan ako ng may awa sa mata si Yaya Celly. Matagal na namin siyang maid, dalaga palang daw si Mama noon. " Pasensya kana Elara, anak sumusunod lang ako sa utos ng Papa mo, ito lang kasing trabaho ko ang nagpapa- aral sa mga anak ko eh " pagpapaliwanag ni Yaya Celly " Okay lang po Ya, ayaw ko rin naman po na madamay kayo " sagot ko sa kanya Ano pa nga ba, eh di lumipat. Wala naman talaga akong choice eh. Papa already made up his mind.*3 months later* Elara's POV Time flies so fast, it seems like just yesterday it was the first day of my junior year. I was just a dumb teenage girl back then who was still confused about which classroom I belonged to. Then, there's this boy who helped me, he was so kind, that from then on I admired him. But they say " people change" , that boy I used to admire for being kind has become rude and cold. He always wear a straight and cold face. He always ignore me whenever I approach him. He always scold me whenever I did him wrong. But despite that, I always believe that there's always kindness in him. Anyways, let's not think about the past anymore. Today is our year-end party, this is our last time together because next will be going to College. Some of them are going to study abroad. Me, I will take whatever course and school David is going to. I really wanna pursue him despite his cold attitude towards me. And I want to impress him today. The venue will take place in Black
Thirs Person's POV David's eyes would often drift towards Elara, his gaze lingering on her as she laughed with friends or studied intently in the library. He couldn't quite explain why he was drawn to her, but he found himself wanting to know more about her. Despite his growing interest, David refused to acknowledge it, telling himself he was just being observant. As he watched Elara, David noticed the way she seemed to light up when discussing topics she was passionate about. Her eyes would sparkle, and her smile would grow wider, illuminating the entire room. He found himself wanting to see more of that spark, to be the one who brought out the best in her. But David's feelings were complicated by his brother's growing closeness to Elara. Daniel would often sit with her at lunch, and they would chat for hours about everything and nothing. David would see them laughing together, and he would feel a pang of jealousy. Why was Daniel getting so much attention from her? Why wasn't
Elara's POV Today is Wednesday and we're going to do our Physical Education subject and we're gonna play basketball. I stood at the sidelines, watching in awe as David dominated the basketball court. His movements were fluid and precise, and he seemed to be in his element. I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for him - he was an incredible player. When the game finally ended, I grabbed a bottle of water from the nearby cooler and walked over to David, who was sweating profusely. "Hey, David, great game!" I said, holding out the bottle of water. "You must be thirsty after that." But to my surprise, David didn't even acknowledge me. He didn't take the water bottle or even look at me. Instead, he scanned the sidelines and spotted another girl, Emily, who was holding out a bottle of water with a bright smile on her face. David walked over to Emily and took the bottle from her, giving her a nod of thanks as he unscrewed the cap and took a long drink. I felt a pang of
Elara's POV By the way, I haven't introduce myself yet. I'm Elara Wright, 17 years old. I'm currently studying Grade 11 Senior High School under Accountancy, Business and Management at Blackwell University. Mama chose it for me. She told me that I can use it in the future. Although naguguluhan ako sinunod ko na rin si Mom. Hindi ko rin naman alam kukunin ko eh. So that's it. Today is sunday and as you can see what happened earlier, they really did move my things here in the guest room. And I'm here now getting locked up in the guest room. Anyways I'll just go to sleep and maybe when I wake up everything will be ok. I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. Sh*t, it's already seven o'clock, I'm late for school. I quickly got ready then went out and rode my bike. As I rode my bike into the school parking lot, lost in thought as I navigated through the crowded rows of cars. Suddenly, I failed to notice a sleek black car pulling out of a parking space, and before I could react,
