WESLEY HIGH
March 6, 2018.Phidelia stood in front of the sink, staring at her reflection in the mirror as she washed her hands under the running water when Tina and her friends barged in, slamming the door open.She jolted in fright deftly turning her gaze to face them."Well..., well, guess who we have here. The weakling." Tina said, leaning on the door of one of the washrooms as her friends took their stand beside Phidelia. "Guess what, I have been searching for you in the entire school. Am I just not thoughtful" she added, a wicked smile dancing merrily on her lips.Phidelia with shaky hands, slowly traced her hand to her bag which lay beside the sink, and picked it up."Where do you think you're going?" she snatched the bag from her, giving her a dirty slap on the face. Stepping back, she gestured for her friends to take over, "Get her." she ordered.Before Phidelia could utter a word, Roxy grabbed a fistful of her hair, shoving her aside roughly. A wince of pain flashed on her face as she hit her back on the door."Get her clothes off.""No, please..." Phidelia grasped, holding on to her shirt as Roxy and Bella rushed on her with Tina turning on her phone's camera. She struggled with them for about 30 minutes. Feeling suffocated, her asthma kicked in.She gasped for breath as she slowly reached into her pocket for her inhaler. Just then, Roxy snatched it from her, stepping back with a smirk."Ple...ase...give it back," she murmured faintly, reaching for it."You want this..?" Tina took the inhaler from Roxy, lifting it in the air. "Come get it.""Please Tina," she gasped for breath. "Please the inhaler..." she begged, struggling for her life. But Tina and her friends looked on, laughing their hearts out. They thought they were having fun but little did they know of the impending danger.After a while of pleading and struggling to breathe, Phidelia collapsed on the floor. The smiles on their faces slowly faded away. They looked aghast at each other then Roxy knelt over to Phidelia, passing a finger beneath her nose. With bated breath, Tina and Bella waited for the result."What happened to her?"Roxy raised a horrified gaze at them, "She..., she is dead..""What..? What do we do?" queried Bella."This...this is not good." she ruffled her hair, " Alright, calm down Bella, no panicking. I think I have a plan."Bella and Roxy waited anxiously as she strolled over to the door and pecked through. When she was sure they were safe, she sauntered back to her friends."Let's hide her body and bury it later.""No Tina, that's too dangerous," replied Bella."And do you have any better ideas...? Let's hear it."Bella who had no special plans or ideas just growled, not saying anything in particular."Then it's sorted then. Come help me."They carried Phidelia's body to one of the washrooms, tossing her bag on her as they locked it up. They kept the key with them and hurried out of the washroom.The rest of the school hours passed by and soon it was evening. Tina and her friends waited until it was midnight then they returned to the school. They waited for the security man to leave his post and then sneaked into the school. They hurried off to the washroom, wrapped the body up with a white cloth, and with much difficulty, carried it into the woods. The moonlight was up in the skies giving out its light with the whimpers of the birds filling the atmosphere giving out a tense and creepy aura as they dug the pit. After several hours, they were done. They carried the body into the pit, throwing her bag on her, and hurriedly covered it up.They heaved a sigh, dusting off their hands as the sweat on their faces shone under the moonlight."Let's go.." Tina urged and they rushed out of the scene.EIGHTEEN YEARS BACK(The Birth Of Phidel and Phidelia)LINCOLN HOSPITALFebruary 4, 2000.Sitting anxiously in wait in front of the labor ward, Randy instinctively runs up to any nurse who approaches the ward wanting to know what's going on with his wife but nobody seems to tell him anything.He slammed himself on the bench overwhelmed with exhaustion as he ruffled his hair.After about Two hours of waiting, the doctor finally came out of the ward with a sweaty face, wearing a bright smile."Congratulations Mr. Hoods.., your wife just delivered two bouncy baby girls." said the doctor as he neared him."Two girls...?""Yeah...""Can I go and see them now..?""Yes, but you have to wait for a few minutes to give the nurses time to transfer them to their wards.""Alright, alright, thanks so much doctor...""Welcome.., excuse me." He remarked, sauntering off to his office.Randy returned to his seat overwhelmed with joy. Within 10 to 15 minutes later, a nurse walked up to him."You can go see them now..""Really...?" He rose from his seat. "Which ward please?""204...""Thanks so much..." Shaking the nurse's hand, he shuffled off to find the ward in which his wife was.The nurse noticing his excitement, looked on with a smile as his back faded away through the corridor before returning to his work.After a while of searching, he got to the ward with the tag 204. He glanced through the glass door with a smile before staggering into the room. He got in to meet his wife and children deeply asleep.He strolled over to the cot and stood beside it, staring down at his daughters. Everything felt like a dream to him. Having been married for years without kids here he was, standing before these pretty little angels. It was like a dream come true.Randy was still admiring his beautiful twins when the door creek opened. He slowly turned his gaze to it. Seeing the intruder, he smiled."Oh, Emma."Emma smiled, sauntering over to where her brother stood, and hugging him."I just came when I received your message." Breaking from the hug, she turned to the cot, glancing down at the cuties resting peacefully in it. "Aw..., look at them...they're so adorable.""Just like their mother.""Yeah right," she commented and they giggled.Jerome was asleep when she heard giggles in the ward. She drowsily opened her eyes to see her husband and his sister standing beside the cot. She shrugged, trying to sit up when her husband noticed her."You're awake." He rushed over to the bed, helping her to sit up."Have you been here for long?" she queried, glancing from her husband to Emma."If you're speaking of me then no, I just got here," answered Emma as she strolled over to her. "Let's say about 5mins ago. Seeing how peaceful you were sleeping, I didn't want to bother you so I went to admire those cuties. Anyway, congratulations dear.""Thanks, Emma, I'm glad you were able to make it here.""Of course Jerome, I wasn't going to miss this for anything in the world. I went for the first flight over here as soon as I received the message from Randy." She added and they chortled. "Anyway, enough talks about me already. How do you feel? Any pain anywhere?""Not at all Emma, I'm good as new. The person we should be worried about is Randy. He has been awake all night.""No need to dear, seeing you and our babies safe and sound makes me the happiest man on earth now."After about an hour of chit-chatting, a nurse walked in with a tray of medication."Can I have a few minutes of your time?""Sure, why not.."He moved away from his wife, making room for the nurse to issue out the medications.After critically examining her for a few minutes, she glanced back at Randy."Doctor Frank would like to see you in his office.""Okay, thank you." He replied and the nurse smiled before gliding out of the ward."You should go see the doctor, I will help Jerome here with her meals.""Okay, I will be back soon.""Alright.." she nodded with a smile as he sauntered out of the ward.Doctor Frank was working on some documents when the door slowly creaked. He deftly raised his gaze to see Randy pecking through. "Oh Mr. Hoods, come in." Randy smiled, fully opening the door as he stepped in."Have a seat." Dr. Frank gestured him to the seat in front of his desk. "Sure.., thank you." He settled in, "Your nurse asked that you wanted to see me. Hope everything is alright Doctor?" "Certainly Mr. Hoods, no need to panic. Just want you to come and sign the necessary documents for your wife's discharge tomorrow." "Really...? My wife can be discharged tomorrow?" he queried, overwhelmed and surprised at the same time. "Yes, Mr. Hoods. From our close examination, both your kids and wife are in good state of health and can be discharged tomorrow so all you need is to sign the documents." "Sure." he nodded with a smile as the doctor handed out the documents to him. Within a few minutes, he was done signing. He gently passed the papers back to the doctor. "Alright..." Dr.
Returning home after the long day's activities, Phidel and Phidelia retired to their room, exhausted not even waiting for their parents to finish unpacking their stuff.Just as they got to their room, they both staggered to their beds and collapsed on it, falling asleep in the instant.After unpacking the things, Randy sauntered to the living room, their daughter's absence unnoticed by them. On settling on the couch, he turned on the TV set."Why don't you go and freshen up first as I get us something to eat." Jerome stood glancing at him as she picked up the packages of groceries."I will do that later, let me rest a little.""No dear, you're all sweaty. You should go freshen up and get a change of clothes," she mumbled, strolling to the kitchen with packages of groceries in both arms.She dropped them on the cabin, lifting them out one after the other as she got ready to cook.Randy sat on the couch with his eyes still glued to the screen, reluctant."Honey...., ain't you going?", ca
Jerome and Randy anxiously raced up stairs to their children's room followed by Phidel to see Phidelia on the floor, gasping for breath."Phidelia..." exclaimed Jerome as they rushed over to her. Randy instantly lifted her in his arms."Get the car keys dear." he said as they all hurried out of the room. Jerome wasted no time, she trod to their room which was on the far right of their kids' whiles Randy and Phidel raced down stairs with Phidelia.Not soon at they got to the car that Jerome joined them. With shaky hands, she managed to unlock the car. Phidel settled in the right seat in the back, beckoning her father to lay her sister next to her.Randy obliged, gently laying her down as he puts her head on her sister's laps. Phidel glanced down on her sister's pale face, brushing her hand through her hair as she still struggles for breath."It's gonna be okay Phidelia, mum and dad are here to help."By this time, both Jerome and Randy has settled
After about 30minutes of driving in silence, Phidelia finally spoke up. Feeling very uncomfortable with the unusual and awkward slience which has suddenly engulfed her once happy and cheerful family."Why is everybody so quiet, did I do something wrong?"She glanced from her sister who sat at the corner of her seat staring through the window with some gape between them to her parents.Randy now realizing the tension the unusual silence has created and the impression it was forming in Phidelia's mind; hastily interrupted with the bid to clear up her doubt."You haven't done anything dear. Everybody is just exhausted. Don't worry dear, let's talk more when we get home."This reply didn't go down well with Phidelia as her sister and mother were still quiet and still uncheerful though she had regain her health but she nodded anyway."Okay Dad." she replied and the atmosphere in the car went back to being quiet. Phidelia felt very uncomfortable but did
Getting Phidelia to calm down took a lot of effort from Emma. She knew from the very beginning that Phidelia was acting tough all along in order to make her parents less worried about her but least did she expected her to break down so much like that.She scooted closer to her and drew her in, placing her head on her shoulder whiles she brushed her hands through her hair to calm her down.“Cry it all out dear, that way you’ll feel much better.”She mumbled with the hope of getting her sober a little but it didn't turned out to her expectations as this rather gingered Phidelia to cry even more. “Guess that's a bad idea.” she thought to herself. “But it always turn out to work in those soap operas? Guess I have been watching too much drama.”She sighed, kicking out of her thoughts as she narrowed her eyes to Phidelia; thinking of how to handle situations before they get to the airport.“I hope this work
The long hour and half lesson finally came to an end. Their teacher packed her books and sauntered out of the class. Just as she stepped out, the class was thrown into a rumpus as the students glided out of their seats; living the class in groups.Phidelia was busy packing her books into her bag and didn't notice Rowan's gaze on her.“Hmm...Phidelia?” Rowan mumbled skeptically.“Huh?” she muttered, lifting her eyes to him with a quizzical look.“Since you have no friends yet would you mind joining me for lunch? We can keep each other’s company.”“Really? Can I?” Phidelia exuded, face etched. The thought of eating alone in the canteen without any familiar face around was a major problem which was running through her mind earlier on. Knowing very well that Isla will not give a second thought ignoring her even if she sees her because Isla sees no fun being with her. “Let me finish packing
Isla and her friend, Titi strolled with playful chatters to the locker room to get the textbooks they will need for the next class without any idea of what was going on in the canteen. Checking her wrist watch, she noticed that they had only few minutes left. She crinkled her nose in disgust. “We better hurry Titi before Mrs. Peterson gets to the class before us. I don't want to be in her bad book.” They sauntered towards their locker. Titi and Isla has been friends since childhood and to this effect, she knows almost everybody in the Rockson family except the fact about Phidelia being a twin. Getting to the locker, both turned their respective doors opened.“Oh,” Titi paused, suddenly remembering something. “Just saw Phildelia earlier on in the hallway, did she get transfered here?” she glanced into her locker, scanning through her neatly packed books for her Calculus textbook. “Hm.” Isla mumbled sharply with a nod, searching t
“Hey, tell me. Are you two fighting?” Emma queried with a skeptical look.“No auntie–” Phidelia sighed sharply and sauntered towards the stairs. “Just a bad day at school. I’ll go change now.” she glided the stairs.Emma stared as her back faded through the corridor to her room; quiet confuse. “What’s going on with them?” she mumbled thoughtfully and shrugged.“Hurry and get down for supper.” she shouted, heading back to the terrace to continue what she was doing.Phidelia shoved her bag well over her shoulders, unlocking her door. After turning the keys few times, it clicked opened. She slowly pushed it opened as she shuffled in with the thoughts of her family running through her mind. She really missed them a lot especially her sister. It’s been eleven years now since they got separated. And to top it all, they haven’t been visiting per their promise. And talking about
