“Are you me?” I ask. She tilts and then, smiles. She does look like me. But, she has more confident and somehow different.
“I’m you.” She says. “But, I’m the truth.” I raise an eyebrow.“You’re the truth?” I ask as she’s saying something really weird. She giggles.“And you’re the lie.” She says.“You mean I’m a liar?” I ask. She’s terribly rude. If only she doesn’t have the same face as mine, I might have thrown a punch on her face.“No. Lies create you.” She says. Now, she gets me confused.“What is that supposed to mean?” I ask. She chuckles.“All you need to do now is wake up.” She says. I raise my eyebrows.“I’m awake.” I say. She shakes her head.“No, you’re not. Wake up.” She says as she walks closer to me. Then, she grasps my shoulders tightlyHe stands in front of her as he locks his eyes on the outside world instead of the weakness behind him. The woman clenches her fists trying to contain the constant pain throbbing in her heart. She wonders, ‘Where have those wonderful days gone to?’‘When did it go wrong?’ Now, every time she tries to look at him, not even once their eyes meet. Not even once, he looks back at her. But somehow, despite his coldness, she can’t bring herself to stop loving him. The more he pulls away, the more she falls in love all over again.“Am I that despicable in your eyes?” Her voice shakes as she speaks. She heaves out a long deep breath as she studies the ground. Unexpectedly, he turns and looks at her. He never faces her when she talks. He either looks away or turns his back on her.“No,” He utters only one word. That word alone gives her a chill.

“Hey, Rosie!!” Aubrey squeal like a rat being squeezed to death. Squeak!I inhale deeply before turning around with a big smile plastered on my face. “Hi Aubrey!”
Time quickly flows and before I realize it, the bell has already rung marking the end of the first class. I breathe a sigh of relief and begin packing my stuff into the bag, draping it on my shoulder. I need to change class for History. When I get up from my seat, I indirectly look at the new student. He’s not moving.
I stand up the moment Ms. Iris hit the door. I hastily grab my stuff and rush out of the classroom. I didn’t even stop to put down my things in the locker. The only thing in my head right now is to get out of this sea of people crowding the hallway. I’m in dire need of a me time and that means a complete solitary in the library. It’s always a total chaos when the bell rings, especially now when it’s break time. I can barely catch my breath being squeezed here and there. Despite that, I painstakingly headed upstairs.
The last class I have for the day is Math. Mr. Hudson is a God of preach and I wish for the ceremony to end and for the numbers to stop swirling in my head. My memory is overloaded with equation and formula.
Aubrey trembles from head to toe as she gazes upon the pool of blood splattered across the asphalt and onto her clothes. By her side lies Rosie, unconscious, and her lovely alabaster skin is now stained with red. Her wounds beckon a gory sight to the passerby and to the young Aubrey as well.
I can’t feel the weight of my body. It feels as if like I’m floating amid the gravity. When I try to force open my eyes, a sharp pain stung my head, shocking me into a jolt. I sprung back to the ground, groaning inwardly. It took me a while before I was able to hoist myself up. Even then, I need to hold my head as though the action of getting up itself can topple my head.
