Prologue: Candice
Introduction: Twist of FateCANDICE"It always seems impossible until it's done."This quotation from Nelson Mandela rang in my mind as I read the mail that the Admission Committee of Harvard has sent me. I was almost lost of breath, and everything was still wistful even after reading the letter for the nth time. It was as if being the Speedy Reader of the class when I was in preparatory school was not enough because I still couldn't completely digest what this letter contains for me."Okay, Candice, one more time." I convinced myself. "Your research about telomeres was one of the best researches in the 2019 Research Colloquium, you were given an award for that, and this shouldn't be a surprise for you!" I sighed. My br

Prologue: Dylan
Introduction: Twist of FateDYLANThe moment I drove off the hospital is also the moment the rain started pouring. It was raining so hard that there was almost zero visibility out there. "Damn it." I cursed.I remembered the woman crying in the backseat, she was sobbing and curling herself up and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. Her loud sobs were an indication of something tragic, and the fact that she was going to the hospital meant something really bad happened. I clutched the steering wheel as I remembered my stomach churning out of pity when I saw her trembling. She was a mess.I am kind of guilty for not consoling her, but I don't think she needs my consolation,

Chapter 1: No Choice
DYLANI was struggling to drag my luggage as I left Maddie's apartment. She was shouting and screaming telling me how unfair I am for leaving her."I stuck with you, even if you were a dumbass with no dreams, I can't believe you are leaving me!?" she shouted dramatically. I rolled my eyes, and heaved a sigh. From outside, I spotted Geoffrey laughing at me while he was leaning on his Ducati."It's your loss not mine!"A pair of shoes flew from inside and I gasped when it almost hit the side of my head."Calm down, will you!?" I exclaimed.I sighed aloud when I saw that those were my Reebok Instapump Fury x Vetements Graffiti. I faced her and was shocked to see her eyes smudged with mascara while crying.

Chapter 2: Do Everything
CANDICEI roamed my eyes on every corner of this place I once called home. I held my breath as I remembered how my father would play hide and seek with me or tag in the hallway. I could still smell my mom's dishes as she passionately cooked for me and father, the strong aroma of rosemary and chime, mixed with garlic, and cream. I could still hear our laughter in the hall. Their disagreement downstairs, the cuddling in the sofa, the loud noises of a driller, my mother's eternal grumbles and my father's grimacing face.I couldn't believe that it would end so easily. I couldn't believe I've lost them in a blink, in an instance. Their departure was without notice. We were still eating breakfast happily that day, and they were both telling me how they didn't care if I'd pass or not. That having me as their daughter was already something to be proud of, and everything was just a tip of their parenting.A tear escaped from my eye, I wiped it quickly. I've forbid myself to cry, I've been cryi

Chapter 3: Just For You
Candice I was patiently looking at him as he scanned all of my documents. He was frowning and he was momentarily looking at me with suspicion. I started playing with my fingers because I was nervous. Three weeks after my parents' passing, I figured out that I should make a move for myself. I need to find a job. I have their insurance, yes, but that wouldn't provide for everything that I'll need in the future. It wouldn't be enough. That's why I tried roaming around the city to look for a job opening. Then I saw the sign, they needed a waitress in this new cafe. They don't need a work experience; they just need a CV and then I'm ready for the interview. Now, I'm facing the HR of the cafe and I was waiting for his answer. Geoffrey Hearst - Human Resource Manager - that is what's written on his shining nameplate. He doesn't look like a Human Resource, he looked like an owner of much bigger companies. Louis Vuitton suit and those familiar red soles from a new release pair of Loubout
