Barbie-q By Sandra Cisneros Novels & Stories

Except when I opened my eyes, I was no longer in my quarter. I was in a white room with no doors and no windows. It was like a huge box with no ins and no outs. I tried banging on the walls and screaming for help. But nothing was happening. It was starting to feel like my sanity was slowly slipping away from my grasp. So I screamed even more. I gripped my hair and fell to my knees. The room started to feel like it was suffocating me. My mind felt empty and I couldn't feel anything. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a door emerged, and then it opened.

"So you gave up on Serena?" "No, I'm not. I just don't want to be an obstacle to other people's happiness. Besides, I don't like Barra's character either. He just thinks of me as a ghost," said Sandra. "Only Serena can touch his heart." After that, Sandra said goodbye before Tita poisoned her with strange words again. "You better focus on your womb. Poor baby if his mama is busy taking care of other people." "Sandra! You don't know yourself. Being neglected is like that," Tita grumbled starting to get annoyed.

LIAM As soon as I left Felix, my irritation still pulsing beneath the surface, I gave him a clear directive: "Dig into this 'Queen of the West.' I want to know everything by morning." This day kept getting better and better, with more mysterious women throwing themselves in my path. This Queen of the West woman, whoever she was, sounded more like a joke and a waste of time, and I had a feeling the stunt she pulled back in the game room wouldn't be her last.

Sandra said, looking at me. “Shut up, Barbie.” I said. Her eyes grew wider as her anger was getting the better of her. I knew that it was funny that I was calling her Barbie since I had really long blonde hair and blue eyes and pretty big boobs with a flat stomach. But she was the one that actually looked plastic. “Alright. That’s enough. I’ve had it. If none of you can get along, then stay away from each other.” Dad ordered. And I was fine with that.

~SARA~ “Sara Jane is a narcissistic bitch and a manipulator.” I watch as Pink Barbie—one of the influencers—rants on her livestream. Sitting behind her are the other two influencers, ZedWave and SoftChoas. About ten thousand people are watching, and oh boy… were they ready to skin me alive. “Just today,” Pink Barbie continues, “the Ford Group invited us for a campaign program. Our contracts had already been drawn up and incentives finalized—only for us to receive a message from the deputy head of department...”

I have these trust issues after what I went through so I think my heart doesn't accept anyone easily. After seeing my smirk she stood straight and became stiff. She extended her hand and greeted me "Hello Welcome Mam" I shook her hand and responded, "My pleasure". She continued "I am your PA Cindy Wasora Mam". "I am Stefana Joshua. No mam, just call me Stef. Shall we?" I beckoned my hands to exit she nodded her head and led the way.

Barbie？ When Landon heard this name, his heart sank. Sweat started raining down his forehead. His heart was in his mouth and he was wiping off his cold sweat as he said, "Yes, we do have a talent named Barbie. Did she get into any trouble? Colonel, may I ask who's your commander-in-chief?" Landon was agitated. There were five commanders-in-chief in the whole of Biskeland. He wondered which of them did Barbie offend that a lieutenant colonel would personally come over with an army.

Just before I can think of what to do, the door bursts open and I look up to see a tall girl come in, walking majestically with her short pink dress and weird make-up. She looks 20. "Hey", she waves at me excitedly before moving close to peck Grandma on her cheeks. When Grandma sees her, she smiles and embraces her again. "I was just telling Andre about you", Grandma mentions, making the girl look back at me with a big smile on her face. Within a second, a hand is stretched at me. "Hi, I'm Barbie." Barbie? What a weird name! Without hesitation, I grab her hand and introduce myself. "Hi, I am Jas…Xavier's wife."

Feminine posture, sharp eyes. “Excuse me… are you transgender?” She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Yeah. Surgery had to wait. Celestine happened.” A grin curved her lips. “I like her. A lot.” She extended her hand. “Barbie. You can call me Barbs—well, not yet. Miss Barbie is fine.” I shook her hand. “Anne Suarez.” “I know.” Her expression shifted, turning serious. “You have a role in this. A big one. Especially if we’re going to put that man behind bars.”
