The Two Sides of Emily Chavez 10 The Game
Emily's POV"I have a surprise for you." This statement keeps rewinding in my head. What could be his surprise? Maybe he would just show off his skills in basketball which I think everyone already knows. I have seen him play last year in the Sports Fest and I also saw him practicing in some of the games. He's indeed the star player of the nursing department. Nothing is surprising with that.I chose to spend the whole morning in the faculty room. I remember I have to check the papers for the last test. Luckily, I saw the answer key in one of my desk drawers. No matter how I try to accept my situation now, I still can't believe I would be a professor, let alone a biology professor. I have never liked science since I was young and my memory sucks. Whoever is behind this might be laughing right now knowing that I'm in big trouble."Professor Chavez, don't you have any plans to have lunch?" Professor Jennings asked. She's one of the three pharmacology professors in the university."I'm not

She wanted to shout at Peter and ask him what he's up to, but she also doesn't want to assume that it is her he is referring to."Look at Peter! I didn't know he has that sweet side of him. And his girlfriend has the same name as you. What department do you think she's from?" Professor Jennings asked. She was giggling while admiring Peter's courageous act."Probably from the Tourism department. I heard most students there are gorgeous." Emily answered. She doesn't want Professor Jennings to think that she could probably the same Emily Peter is referring to.Emily could hear many voices behind her stating how disappointed they are for this sudden turn of events. Most of the voices are of course from women. Peter has been the crush of many girls not only from the nursing department but from the whole campus."I still can't believe that he is the same Peter in our class. He is so quiet and sno
The Two Sides of Emily Chavez 1 The Start of a Dilemma
I woke up on a bench in the park near my department building. I can't remember how I got in here. I must have been so tired preparing for the midterm exams. I am now a sophomore student taking up nursing. Nursing is not really my first choice for my major, but my mom insisted that I take this course. As she always says "Being a nurse is one of the most stable jobs. Schools and businesses may close but hospitals will never have that problem." I protested for a long time, but as everyone knows, Asian moms are known as tiger moms. They are so protective of their kids to the point that they make sure they always choose the best decisions for them. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom and she actually has a point. Most of the friends I have from the Philippines which is where my parents were born by the way took up nursing. Both my parents are nurses. So as they say, older people know better because they have more experiences. As for my school, I chose the one near my place. I can go to bet

There are only two places she usually hangs out in: the library and the school park. She usually goes to these places to relax and many times, she sleeps there. No one really pays attention to her.
