Sharon
I was sitting on the long bench in the practice room, whilst peering blankly at the sky before getting interrupted by the creaking sound from the door.
"The director is here and you're still sitting down" Min Ju, the idiot girl from Korea howled at me, I flashed at her and she stares away immediately.
"You're all dismissed" The lady wearing a flayed trouser and a white shirt declared openly leaving everyone to wonder.
"For what?"
"I thought we came here for practice"
"I came here leaving behind important things to do"
Grumbles and muttering crammed the whole practice room and I just clasp my hands over my tummy waiting for the right moment to meddle.
"If you don't want to get dismissed, you might as well stay here forever" she sizzled and walked out, I winced when she slammed the door so hard.
"Eyy, are you okay?" Iris asked, staring at me with so much readiness.
"I look more okay than you, just cut to the chase" I gave her the best reply that came to my head at the moment, she looks irritated already.
I don't know why they'll not stop finding troubles for themselves, they know I'm not easy to go by, yet they still try my patience.
"You didn't talk back to the director today, why?" I almost let out a loud chuckle at her idiotic statement but I held it in.
"Come closer" I muttered and she did.
"I wanted to give rookies like you the chance to step up" I cackled and rubbed my mouth.
Her scowl was evil but I'm a devil, thankfully I didn't bring my bag today. It'll have been hell work to go back and take it.
I hurried outside since we were told to go home but others were still chit-chatting on useless matters, I gradually close the door so as not to make a noise and eventually whirled to leave.
"Oh my God!" I flinch at the touch of someone's hand on my shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Jason asks, glancing Into my eyes.
"Oh yeah, I'm okay" I was too taken by his sudden appearance that I find it hard to finish my sentence.
"Why are you here?" I felt like whacking myself for such a dumb question, he's a ballerina-like me and his mom is the art director so what do I expect?
"I came by to drop lunch for my mom, but I needed to talk to you," he says huskily and I waddled towards the hallway.
He'll follow up, that place is too insane to have a conversation. The people at Fantasia will take it the wrong way.
"Okay, what do you have to tell me?" I'm not being too eager, am I?
"My birthday is on Sunday and…" I cut in abruptly, not because I wanted to but I thought he wanted to declare something more crucial.
"Oh wow, Happy Birthday in Advance" I giggled and quelled, glimpsing the changeless expression on his face.
"I'm not done Sharon" he sneered making me stare at him weirdly.
"I would love to invite you to my birthday party, don't worry my mom won't be there" good that he knows that the relationship between me and his mom is just so.
Puzzling
"I will be present, just send me the address and of course the dress code" I grinned and got up from the chair the minute It dawned on me that I was going to meet someone.
"I have your number, I'll do so. thanks" he whispered and patted my hair before walking away.
What was that? Do I look like a baby?
An introduction should have come first but as you can see, I'm one hell of a talkative and crazy human being. I'm a 21-year-old orphan, but I have an adoptive mother and brother who showed me, love, more than I deserve.
I don't know about my biological parents but my adoptive mom keeps saying, very soon.
I'm a second-class ballerina at the biggest ballerina studio called Fantasia, my trainee program will end soon, about 8 months to go I think.
I don't make friends but I have a very close friend and a lot of enemies because we're just not compatible, I rather insult them or leave them.
I scooted to the front of the agency, hoping to see a taxi the moment I got outside but to my amazement. Luck wasn't on my side today.
After waiting for an hour, a taxi stopped in front of me. I bend over to hop in but then I trudged back to have a clear view of the car.
"You going or not?" The driver half yells.
"Or not" I replied hastily but yet to leave.
"What did you say?" He asks, fluttering his eyes.
"I'm not going!" it was my turn to yell, he zoomed off after a minute of an eye-rolling clash between us.
"Hey, Sh.." I knew it was the foolish hero the moment I heard him.
"Sharon. S.H.A.R.O.N!" I yelled out so loudly as I scuttled to where his car was parked.
"Get in" I won't take it as an order, I don't have it in mind to waste another second so I should allow the foolish hero to drop me.
His real name is Matthew but I give him the nickname because of the way he acts, I'm sure it's a habit and he'll try it today.
"Shalom," I took a deep breath at this dumbass.
"POC, I'm Sharon, not Shalom" I rectified, frowning at him with so much anger in me.
"What's POC?" His driver was the first to burst into laughter, I don't want to be an outcast so I joined him.
"You don't know what POC means?" I raised my brows trying to act serious.
"I don't care to tell me?" He winks childishly, all I did was shook my head.
"Point of Correction" I announced.
"Stop the car" he ordered and the driver stepped on the brake pads.
"I should get out?" I ask, wearing a stunned expression.
"Yes, it was a nice ride" he smiled teasingly, see what I said about being a foolish hero.
He helps you in a situation and makes himself look like a hero but then he withdrew his help and the only name I could give him was the foolish hero.
"Take care pretty" he beamed and his car drove past me.
"Pretty my foot! Who wouldn't be pretty in a Playboy's face" I groan and stamp my foot on the floor, it took a little while to realize that all eyes were on me.
I was happy because the bus station was a few steps from where I was, I run to it and the bus going to my destination dropped off passengers.
It was hectic as there were a lot of people struggling to get in, I can't be left out.
I was disappointed when I finally get to enter and there was no vacant seat, I wanted to leave because I'm too tired to stand for 30 minutes.
"This is the last bus for today" my eyes widen in shock as I hurriedly paid and grabbed a pole.
I can't believe I slept off while standing, the ringing sound from my phone woke me up and I picked up without checking who it was.
"Who's this?" I ask grumpily whilst rubbing my face.
"Don't bother coming okay" I snapped out of my trance on hearing Daniella's voice.
"Calm down babe, I'm a few minutes from getting close to you" I giggled loudly and saw people staring.
I gripped my hands around my waist as I alighted from the bus, this place gives a special vibe and I always love it when we come here.
I earn my income in four different ways, weekly allowance from my mom who runs a restaurant, not the biggest restaurant but a very successful restaurant.
Daily allowance from my brother, he's a bank manager and I'm starting to fear if he would continue to give me once he gets married. His wedding is about two weeks ahead.
I also earn money by advertising at my friend's company, it doesn't comes every time but it's always huge whenever it comes.
Lastly from the Studio, as a second-class ballerina, I get paid monthly but depends on what competition or show we went to.
"Sharon!!!" I dip my middle fingers to clean my ear because her yelling almost ruined my earbuds.
"I'm here now, can we get to work?" I smiled sheepishly trying to change the topic.
"Here," she throws a kitty head at me.
"What's this?" I ask, feeling clueless about the whole thing.
"It's our costume for today, you have to wear it, no objection" she countered.
"What nonsense costume, where's that crazy-ass manager?" I half yelled.
"Stop it Sharon" she cautioned whilst dragging my arm.
"Stop what, I see why he's so short and always wears a frowning face. It's because he doesn't have any good character, how can he make us wear this when he can't?" I taunted forgetting that I'm in front of the company.
"Sh.." she grabbed my hand, winking at me to stop talking.
"Leave me alone, I'll have it out with that man.." I swirl around to see him...
SharonI was stupefied and gaped at him whilst gulping nervously with my fingers fiddling with each other. I don't even know what to say."I'm short, I wear a frowning face and I have a bad character" he claps his hands and crack into laughter."I didn't say you have a bad character" I disputed, unfit to look into his eyes"Oh really, guess I have bad hearing too" he snickered."I said you don't have any good character" I retorted bluntly."You""I'm sorry sir, she's just too silly and it's also not good for you to waste your energy on her. She's clueless and doesn't know how life works, forgive her please" Daniella interrupted, begging with him with a different cajoling strategy.But wait, would he have slapped me if she didn't stop him? Oh shoot! Daniella should have just permitted him to try his worst and he'll have seen a different Sh
SharonI spin to the other side trying to pretend not to know him as I put back the kitty head."Buttercup?" He calls out, strutting in front of me."How may I help you, sir?" I croak my voice so he wouldn't discover it's me."You can't help me in any way Sharon, stop hiding I know it's you" he snickered softly and strode closer to me."Gosh, how did you find out it was me?" I pout my lips annoyingly."Your phone was the first thing I saw, what are you doing here?" He eventually asks what I hoped he doesn't ask."Can you come again?" I needed time to think about what to say."What are you doing in front of Camilla's company?" He asks, yelling into my ears."Camilla? Which of the Camilla?" I queried, twinkling my eyes."Baby" my system stopped working when I heard her voice."Butterc
MarianneI was about to wear my bra when the door sprawled open with my fiancee standing in between the doors.My whole system stopped working as I set my eyes on him, he was holding a bouquet and a cake in his hands.The cake dropped making a loud banging on the floor, I winked at my secretary to get out and I rushed into my closet to change into something.He wasn't there when I came outside as I run after him. "Baby" I called out in the most pathetic tone."You must be insane for calling me baby, just look at yourself!" he yelled, his whole face turning red."You don't have any right to insult me, it was a mistake and you won't even give me a chance to ask for forgiveness" I groan, crossing my arms over my chest and leaned on the wall."I disagree to believe that you're Marianne, I caught you naked with your secretary and you still have the guts to talk back"
Nathaniel"A beautiful night, Hi Nathaniel" for seriousness sake, seeing me for the first time and calling me by my name?How absurd?"Hi" I replied coldly, wearing an emotionless face."Why are you acting so cold? I'm Marianne Maureen" she smile flirtingly, stretching her hand for a handshake."We could do that later" I shunned."Are you sure you came here for business?" I questioned, gazing at her body."Yea, yes sure I came to talk about business" she stutter, feeling uncomfortable."Okay, I've heard a lot about your company and the only reason I agreed to meet you was because of your company animating skills" I wouldn't call this a compliment."Wow, I'm glad to hear that as the company's chairwoman" she giggled excitedly, winking along."Oh you're the Chairwoman?" I knew but pretended not to know."So, here's wha
Ethan"Let's take her to the hospital" I requested, running out of the restaurant and she followed behind.I drove as fast as I could but to my surprise, there were no hospitals around."Turn to the right corner, there's a hospital at the end road" her voice was frail and she was panicking.I pull over in front of the big hospital and carried her in with the help of the nurses.**"Calm down mom, she'll be fine" I found the perfect word to console her as she wouldn't stop pacing around to and fro."I know, but she was okay a while ago" she sniffled, holding her waist.A few minutes later, the doctor walked towards us and we both meet her halfway."What's wrong with my daughter?" Her tone was loud and it was disturbing the others, I held her hand and turned to the doctor."The lady you brought in is fine, she's okay except for the fact that she doesn't rest. She hurt her head bu
Sharon"Well done Sharon" he swatted his hands and I fixed my gaze on the walls, unable to face him."I didn't hear anything, anything at all" I tried to lie but he knew all along that I was strutting."Just don't worry, did you need anything?" He asks, glancing at me as he rolls on the bed."No, I d.."" You need something" my subconscious chastised and I clenched the hem of my bathrobe."Your WiFi isn't connected and I need it to…"To surf the internet till 6:00 am? You made a mistake tonight dear sis, go get me your phone and laptop" he requested but I stood stupefied, unable to comprehend what he just said."It's not a must you turn on your WiFi, I don't need it anymore" I hum, swiveling my eyes."The doctor said you don't rest and we used
SharonI was confused and tired, feeling slight pain from my head. With this, I don't think I can go anywhere.After a while, I was done eating my breakfast and was too lazy to take the dishes to the kitchen as I fall on the bed tiredly.IrisI paced around the restricted room to and fro and my friend's stared at me awkwardly."When will she be here?" Betty broke the silence and It was hard for me to reply."Iris, why you go dey act like say you be the Miss perfect? (why would you be acting like you're Miss perfect)" I turned to Chioma, who spoke In a language I barely understand."You should know your place Chioma or whatever your name is? You were all here when I called her, let's wait for her" I half yelled, crossing my hands."Miss perfect" she mumbled again but I decided to ignore her.An hour later"Listen up guys" I called everyone together."Let's wear our mask, the CCTV won't be able to discover us that w
Sharon"I knew I'll be happy once I come here" Daniella mumbled and chuckled loudly."You're here too?" I raised my brows at Jason."Yeah, I met her on the way and she was kinda down about something" he tweaked the edge of his nose shyly."Oh, you both came here for a purpose" I pout my lips whilst shaking my head."What to do? I'm grounded and I can't go anywhere" I sat on the doorsteps, panting slowly."What happened?" Daniella asked, referring to my head."This? I don't know, I passed out yesterday night and ended up getting hurt" I replied perfunctorily."We would sort ourselves out, take care babe" Daniella waved and they both smile whilst trying to leave."Wait" I shouted at them."I'm coming" I raised my hand in the air and rushed inside.I trace my eyes around my wardrobe to find something casu
