“Ava,” I spoke as gently as I could. “You have to go back home, your parents need you now more than ever, you running away from them won’t help matters, it would only complicate issues.” “No Robin, you also wanted to run away when you were in the State, you wanted to flee the State…”“To my mother,” I cut her off, enough of her trying to compare her situation to mine. “I didn’t run away from home, I wanted so badly to flee to my mother and I am with my family, whereas I did not run away to a place where either of my parents knew nothing about, while I was with my dad, my mother know and now I am with my mother, my father know,” I told her sharply to take whatever thoughts she was thinking out of her head.Ava was silent for a while as she looked at me, I could see the surprise look on her face. “You are not getting angry when you talk about your father and usually you don’t call him dad but his name…”I withdrew my hand from hers, she was right, while I was in the States I called my
I drove into our parking lot and left the car immediately as I rushed into the house. “Ivana, Ivana!” I called out as I got to the living room, it was empty so I was about to go upstairs to go look for her when I heard some sound coming from the dining room, it sounded like someone was eating.“Ivana_” I walked over quickly but stopped when I saw my mother who looked up at me.“Robin, you are home, I thought you would be back late?” My mother blinked as she looked at my face then the smiles on her face disappeared. “Is something wrong?” She asked.I glanced at the table, Ivana sat down there with her eyes on the meal she was shoving into her mouth, she glanced up at me.“Hi, you are back.” She flashed a smile and I knew she was faking it, she was really good at it since it felt so real, but I knew better.“Robin.” My mother called out my name since I haven’t answered her question and I flashed a smile at her, let’s pretend all we want since my mother was here.“I am a fine mom,” I tol
Ivana tried to fight me off but the more she tried the more the kiss deepened.I took her hands, clasping them together and raising them above her head while I worked my tongue into her mouth.Ivana tried effortlessly to push off but I pinned her not with my hands but my body.This was not my intention, I have not loved a girl before, Ivana was the first girl I gave my heart to and it wasn't when she came to live with us, I had given my heart to her unknowingly that day bumped into her as a kid.When I got a lot of beating from my father after saying I miss my mom, I will close my eyes and the person who comes to my dream was that little girl who smiled at me.It was a one-time meeting as a kid, but her smiles that sunny morning had lingered in my memories.I was not going to lose her because of this, if I do I don't think my heart would ever love anyone again, not even myself.I part my lips from hers giving her a chance to gulp in air because I have kissed her for some minutes takin
I ran down the lobby to go meet Kate who was waiting happily for me as we looked at the big signpost. There were lots of students also giggling happily at the sight of the post.I turned to Kate with a big grin. “What do you think of it?” Kate’s eyes were bubbling and I could already tell what her answer would be.We were going to perform art II and act III to draw in sponsors for the anniversary and that way, anyone who is spotted could be rewarded and sighed with an agency even before the main show, I never knew this kind of thing happens in reality, I thought it was one of the many lies in movies but it was happening.“This is like a dream come true Ivana!” Kate made a happy shoulder dance. “You know, we won’t only perform on stage before the anniversary, we would have our images out on magazines and the news since there would be a lot of reporters, not to say if we happened to be picked by someone.” A huge grin appeared on her face. “it would be awesome to be signed with an agency
I rushed over to the school dance hall to make it in time before Kate would come, she had told me to be right there waiting for her after five hours, I had been counting the time.Everyone seems to be working hard for this show, there was no practice hall I passed that they weren’t practicing in, I felt left out since there was no group that wanted me, the mean girls had been so clear about it and that was the reason Kate was taking that big risk and it was all for me.I stood by a pillar in the lobby glancing down at my wristwatch, I had been here twenty minutes earlier and had been waiting. I glanced sideways for any sight of Kate but she was not forthcoming.I could hear some sound coming from the closed door. I took light steps over, peeking in through the glass. I saw a few students with their dance clothes and shoes dancing to the beat of the music. “Wow.” My mouth turned up to the flip I saw one did, she had lifted her body like it was a feather, I wondered who she was, I look
“This is funny.” I cracked up and he slightly raised his brows in curiosity and I kept chuckling out loud. I have been in the dark but now I know who my real competitors were. “What is so funny?”“Everything.” I grinned, turning to the door where the lady was dancing. “Don’t be so happy Ivana, you will lose this show.” His words made my brows snap together as I turned to look at him. “Why are you glaring so hard at me?” He leans back, crossing his arms across his chest. “It’s obvious you can’t dance and now that banner is up, the director will do his pick after the sideshow, you are also rejected by all the practice teams, no one wants to help you out, just like everyone hate me, they hate you too, so we are in the same boat.” He widened his arms. “Alone!” He made a round O with his mouth.I bite down my lips suppressing my anger. “You are so annoying!” I grit my teeth glaring hard at him while wishing my eyes would be a dagger and pierce through his soul.Ryan scratched his hair wi
The moment I raised my eyes they dilated as the other person glared hard at me. “Why is she here?” I and the other person both said at the same time."You two will have to practice together," Robin said softly and I blinked rapidly."No way, there is no way I would practice with this rejected candidate!" I held the space between my brows when she had said that."I told you that you were rejected, didn't I? That nickname suits you well." Ryan whispered close to my ears and I gritted my teeth at him as he raised his hand in surrender and leaned back.I turned my eyes to Katherine who was still glaring at me. "I don't want to also practice with an egoist!" My lips twitched and Katherine turned to Hinn Carlos who stood beside her. "Is this who you said we have been waiting for?" She raised her brows slightly and Hinn nodded in response while I wondered how they both got so close. The last time I saw them together it looked like Katherine hated him and wouldn’t want her around him."Yes,
I rushed down the school lobby the next day to find Kate. I peeked through the window of an instrumentalist practice room hoping to see her there. She had told me this was where she spent most of her time practicing her guitar playing.I didn’t see her there, it was totally empty. I didn’t see Kate yesterday after practice. I had run over to the lobby where I was asked to wait for her but she was not there. I also dialled her number but she didn’t pick my call.“Ivana.” I heard behind me and turned to see Kate holding her guitar behind her back and she was looking at me with those wide gazes. I searched her eyes for a trace of anger but there was none.“I am sorry Kate, I went there but didn’t meet you…”“It’s okay, I came late anyway, I was stuck in practice that I missed the time, I came over but you weren’t there so I took it you got tired of waiting,” I shook my head but she didn’t let me speak but when on. “I should be the one apologizing,” Kate said softly.“No.” I walked over a
