Out of your league

" good I'm glad you get it " Clara said with a concern face "Let’s change the topic. Who’s this Romeo guy? You said he’s bothering you?” Emma’s expression changed instantly. The light dimmed. “I don’t know. He’s just another guy. He keeps following me after class. I don’t like him.” Clara caught it immediately. That was Emma’s ‘serious face’ the one she only made when something was really wrong. “So tell me, Emma. What is it? What’s actually going on?” Emma swallowed hard. “It’s… it’s Rebecca.” Clara froze. The color drained from her face. “That stupid girl again? What are you calling that name for? That useless, horrible what did she do this time?” “The thing is… she’s here, Clara.” “Here? What do you mean here? Is she in our video call right now?” “No, not the call.” Emma’s voice trembled. “I mean here. In Colombia. In my university. In my class.” Clara shot up from her bed so fast the camera shook. “REBECCA IS THERE WITH YOU IN COLOMBIA? And you didn’t tell me? Em

The Bully

Emma’s shoulders tensed. “Clara… I have to go.” “Why? Why are you in such a hurry to go?” Clara’s voice rose. “Emma, don’t you dare cut this call.” “I have to go. My roommate’s coming.” “So what? Let them come. Introduce me to your roommate.” “You don’t understand, Clara. ” “Introduce me. Are you ashamed of me, Emma?” “No! I’m not ashamed of you!” “Then why?” Clara’s eyes narrowed. “You’re feeling insecure that I’m prettier than you, aren’t you? That when they see us on call they’ll say, ‘How did you two even become friends?’ Is that what you’re thinking?” “No, Clara, that’s not...” “Then why don’t you want me to meet your roommate? Why don’t you want to introduce me?” Emma froze. Her hand hovered over the red button. “Because… because Rebecca is here.” Clara went dead silent. “Wait. Rebecca… is your roommate?” Emma nodded, barely. “Yes.” “How is that even possible?” Clara whispered, disbelief turning to anger. “I don’t understand. How did that happen? S

Bully2

You are fat Emma and that is the secret oh wait! It’s not I mean it’s quite obvious Rebeca added earning laughter from others Tears welled up in Emma’s eyes before she could stop them, hot and humiliating. “Let me be,” she whispered, her voice shaking so badly the words almost broke. “I know I’m ugly. I know I’m not good enough for Alex. I’m not even trying. I don’t even like him. Can’t you just leave me alone?” Rebecca leaned back on her heels, satisfaction settling over her face. “Good. At least you know your place now , you ….” “I need peace!” The voice sliced through the room like a blade, All three of them turned. Jessica stood in the doorway, arms crossed, her expression unreadable in the dim light. “Rebecca. Miriam. Emma. Whatever you call yourselves. I’m trying to sleep. You’re not the only ones in this room.” She didn’t raise her voice. She didn’t need to. She walked past them without breaking stride and climbed into her bunk, yanking the curtain shu

Outing with him

Emma jumped. Jessica was sitting up on her bunk, curtain half-pulled back, watching her. “Jessica?” Emma whispered. “I didn’t hear you wake up.” Jessica’s eyes flicked over Emma’s outfit. “That hoodie isn’t doing you any favors. It makes you look bigger than you are.” Emma’s face flushed. “I know. I’m already fat. Wearing this just makes it worse.” Jessica slid off her bunk and walked closer, arms still crossed. “Is it bad enough that you’re already insecure, and you’re making it worse yourself?” She pointed at the hoodie. “Take it off” Emma blinked, stunned. This was the first time Jessica had spoken directly to her like this. “Thank you,” Emma said quietly. “I… I was just complaining to you. I’m not expecting you to care.” Jessica shrugged. “I know. But you’re beautiful , Emma.” Emma’s breath caught. “You don’t have to say that.” “I’m not saying it to make you feel better,” “I’m saying it because it’s true. Now go. Whoever you’re meeting don’t keep them waiting.”

Outing

The path to their destination was dim and quiet, with just a few people scattered near the water. Romeo led her to a flat stone under a tree where a bench , mat and a small cooler were already set up. “My quiet place,” he said, letting go of her hand to unpack the food.Emma sat on the edge of the bench and looked out at the still water. “You weren’t lying. This is nice.”“I come here when my head’s too loud,” Romeo said, handing her the cup of coconut candy. “No one bothers you here.”Emma took a sip and smiled. “I get that.”Romeo pulled out grilled plantain and water, and they ate without much talking at first. Emma took a bite of the plantain and immediately coughed. “Damn, that’s strong.”“Told you it bites back,” Romeo said, grinning as he leaned back and stared at the sky. “Even the sweet things here do.”Emma followed his gaze up at the faint stars. “I almost didn’t come,” she said after a while.“Why did you?”“Because you asked.” She shrugged. “And I was tired of saying no t

The quiet place

It was Alex.From the moment they stepped into this quiet corner of the park to the moment Romeo picked up that stone and showed Emma how to throw it Alex had been watching. He hadn’t planned to come here tonight. After receiving the letter from the old house, he hadn’t gone home at all.He couldn’t. mummy choice words from that meeting still echoed in his head, sharp and heavy, and the weight of it all kept pulling at him. He just needed somewhere to breathe.This place had always been it for him. He came here more than he’d admit, when his head was too full and his chest felt tight. He didn’t even realize it was Emma until she threw the stone. The way she frowned, the way she coughed at the plantain, the way Romeo smiled at her He ducked behind a tree without thinking, watching them from a distance.For the first time in a long while, Alex forgot his own problems. He just watched the two of them. Laughing. Talking. Being easy with each other.Could life ever be that simple for me? h

Awkward momment

She yanked her hand back like she’d been burned and clutched it to her chest. “S-Sorry, sir.” Her voice was barely a whisper. Alex raised an eyebrow, but didn’t let go of her gaze. “Sit down, Emma.” His voice was low. Quiet. But it left no room to argue. Emma’s mouth went dry. She wanted to run. She wanted to sink into the ground. But something in the way he said her name not like a stranger, not like a servant, just… Emma made her legs feel weak. She sat. But she scooted as far to the edge of the bench as she could, leaving a whole person’s worth of space between them. The silence stretched. Emma could hear her own heartbeat in her ears. She could feel Alex’s eyes on her, not in a creepy way, but in a way that made her hyper aware of everything the way her hands were trembling, the way her lips felt dry, the way she was suddenly very conscious of how close his knee was to hers. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. “S Sir… what are you doing here?” she asked,, eyes fixed

Alex offer

Alex stood up then, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a card and placed it gently on the bench beside her. “You can call me anytime, Emma. When you’re ready,” he said quietly. Then he turned and walked away. Not because it was time to go, but because he was mad. Furious, actually. This was how it always was. This was how it had been with his friend in the past. If his friend had been bolder, things wouldn’t have ended the way they did. And now he couldn’t watch another person do the same thing. He couldn’t watch another talented person hide themselves because of insecurity and self doubt. Emma was too talented to be hidden. With that, Alex’s footsteps marched away toward his car, Thomas already waiting for him by the door. Emma sat there, staring at the card in her trembling fingers, wondering if maybe he was right. The thought came out of nowhere and made her chest ache. Maybe I am wasting talent. Maybe I’m hiding because I’m scared. Speaking of not hiding… maybe i

Arnaldo visit

Benji hesitated then "Rebecca" Are you familiar with the name?” Emma chuckled. “Come on, Benjamin , what are you saying?” He paused. “What’s up with Rebecca though? How are you guys coping? Hope she’s… not a bully anymore? She’s grown out of the bullying era, right?” Emma hesitated for half a second, then lied. “Yeah. She has.” Benji didn’t seem to notice. “Good. So I’ll be coming to Colombia soon. how do you even juggle your work and school and everything together? Isn’t it stressful?” Emma asked concern written in her voice benji let out a soft laugh. “No, it’s not. I can do it. I’m Benji.” . “Why are you asking? Are we thinking of what I asked you to do in high school? About pushing your voice? It’s a great voice, mama. You should embrace it.” Benji’s tone shifted, more serious now. “Do you know about SoundWave, right?” “Yes, I do.” Emma sat up straighter on the bench. “SoundWave will accept you with open arms, You’re very good. SoundWave has all kinds of talents

No one can protect you

It’s was Anando. Legs stretched out like he owned the place, sitting on Alex’s couch, designer jacket tossed over the armrest. Two maids were kneeling at his feet, coffee and water untouched. The skyline glowed behind him through the glass wall, but Anando wasn’t looking at it. He was looking at the door. Waiting. He didn’t stand up. He didn’t smile. He just took the cigarette from his mouth, dropped it onto Alex’s white marble floor, and crushed it under his shoe with a deliberate grind.like he been waiting Anando raised his jaw with a smirk. “That must have called you,” Alex closed the door quietly. “Get out. And get your foot off my floor.” Anando raised an eyebrow. “Thirteen years, brother. Thirteen good years. And that’s how you greet your younger brother?” Alex set the keys down on the empty table, never taking his eyes off Anando. “What are you doing here? Security didn’t call me. You didn’t come through the front. So how did you get in?” Anando laughed, low and sh
