The rest of the weekend went by in a blur. I’ve been in the library studying and getting to know more about other creatures from Ken’s book of mystical creatures. I still hadn’t reached on one that best describes Sam but I guess she would tell us what she was soon. In school on Monday I decided to give Derrick his space. We only spoke to each other as Luther and Daniella which was kind of awkward but I have learnt to master my feelings as best I could. Hector and I now make the very most of our weekdays since weekends he would be very busy and won’t even have a chance to text. I was so happy for him and he looked different, like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. I guess his old job really had a toll on him. He said after getting his first pay, we would be able to use Jane’s car again. Sessions with Mrs. Pierce have been cut down, thankfully. Seeing her every single day was punishment enough. As we got closer and closer to the day of performing Daniella, Ms. Judith becam

"Come Hermione. Five, six, seven, eight." Ms. Judith encouraged. I was sweating like a pig by now. The stage was the hottest place to be right now and I had a headache before coming here. I don't know how much energy Ms. Judith thought we all had, but it couldn't be as much as she thought it was.I bent over to catch my breath. I could do with a cold shower right now. "Ok, alright. Take five. But no leaving the school"tThat was my opportunity to sprint out to the taps. I got there and drank enough water to last me a couple more hours then took a different route. I had planned to do this since last night, but wasn't sure how. Now I think I was one hundred percent sure. I went towards the direction of the principle's office. The doors were all locked and the cameras were pointed directly at me. I couldn't do it. I wasn't even sure how many times a week or how many times a month they checked the footages. I had to come another time.I walked out and went back to the hall. The dim lig

I removed my shoes and kept them under the bed next to his. I roughly wiped the sweat off the palms of my hands on my dress then followed him outside. I had been sweating profusely and had been hallucinating a bit as well. I even felt like vomiting but held back. Hector, like last time, picked me up bridal style and we walked under the stars towards the other end of the bush. time was moving excruciatingly slow and I felt like I was going to pass out at any point. We were both so quiet, unlike last time when I was cursing and calling him names and trying to seduce him but failed.my head was on his shoulders while mind was far away. something was making my tummy rumble and stiffen as if my insides were changing form first. things were a bit different this time around, but I knew it was not going to be easy."What do you feel?" Hector asked me as his feet crushed dry leaves while he walked over rocksI think he was just making conversation so I could open up and be a lot less stressed

we had finally finished all the scenes from Daniella but Ms. Judith was not satisfied. she made us come every day even after we were done. everytime we made a very tiny mistake she would make us repeat the whole thing again.I was so exhausted when I came back home that I dropped myself on the bed and closed my eyes shut. I hadn't had those rose field dreams in a while and was hoping I would get in since Mabel was making her moves again.not being in that field was halting my progress. How was i going to be able to help and contribute if I couldn't be in the field like I used to be. it's been way too long and I was getting desperate.and I was trying my best to get my emotions in check. I had recovered from what had happened but not entirely. I needed a lot of time to fully get it done. Hector came to visit me at home. it was such a surprise because I thought he was at work. He told me they gave him a day off. i was thrilled but my reaction did not say so. I couldnt even push it to m

“I always knew there was something different about me growing up.” Olivia sipped her green tea while her eyes danced at the garden Emilio had been taking good care of for her. The colors that blossomed were getting ready for autumn. It gave the house a livelier atmosphere, and tried its best not to mark the Lopez as a low income household. She ritualistically placed her cup of tea back on its saucer then lowered the saucer on her lap. “I knew there was something strange living inside me. but I never knew what it was. My maternal grandmother handed me a book from my father’s mother.” “Rosalina.” I blurted. It had become a habit to just blurt the ancestors’ name without thinking twice. “Yes.” Olivia smiled with her eyes. She seemed to be a little fond of her paternal grandmother I see. “We never got to meet though, but she generously left me a guide book. I did not know what it was for when abuela gave it to me. I was around fourteen or fifteen when it was given to me. It did not make
