Just Be You

PAGE 4

Brother Zexus helped mother with cooking because I have no patience with cooking. I was left alone in the living room watching stuff on every channel, but things weren't interesting. After getting my back, I shouted to let them know that I was not in the living room anymore. The house is not like any ordinary household. We don't have any nanny or intercom to help someone, inform them about where they are or where I am?

"Mom! I'm going upstairs!"

Mom only took a peek and gave me an OK sign before I got up.

Scrolling at my phone blocking all the bad things that shouldn't be given more attention.

'Gosh! Maddison dear, You take Avis precious little princess treasure! She might cry!'

'FREDERICK! Nooooooooo!!! He's only mine if it weren't for Avis!'

'Congratulation!!!'

'I hope you won't die in Avis hands! @sAVISge'

'I heard that Avis and her friend fought!'

'This is funny, literally! Someone got your baby little princess @sAVISge'

I only turned off the phone as I couldn't stop the bustling in the school forum. Opening the door, my eyes welled up as everything that I did in the morning wasn't worth it anymore. Confessing your love without a chance is also a loss. My knee wobble as I have no strength and cry my heart out due to the frustration and anger I felt.

Fighting for it isn't worth it anymore. It will only cause an old fire to start up again. Brother Rhys is right, if you want a fight, you should know that you are always the one who will win, so it won't be painful.

~~~

Looking in the mirror felt like deja vu. As my eyes swollen painfully, getting a cold drink, I put it first in my eyes and let it rest. I shouldn't be sad about it anymore. I should be happy for them and start a new life.

Changing my clothes after washing up and thinking about my poor soul. I look pretty and petite, but on the right figure. Having long brown hair, perfect chiseled face and thin rosy lips. Everything is perfect, but I can't get what I want.

"Right!" And sat up, running downstairs with my phone.

"Mom! I want to enroll in an art school!"

My mother looked up at me in blank. I can't read her, but I know she's thinking, not validating whats my brother reaction. Scrolling on my phone, I remember before school started that I shouldn't attending my school. My father wanted me to apply to art school as he saw potential in me. Me and father often goes to some musicals and theatricals or sometimes to some artists' parties as we both enjoy it.

Showing the photo that I had passed the entrance examination and school interviews, they gave me a pass and I could enroll in whichever I wanted.

"Mom! I want to get this opportunity!" Showing it to her with eagerness. I want to leave as much as I could.

"We will talk about this with your father. After all, you have already started school." She only said not rejecting or anything. Nodding my head at her.

Father would be happy if he knew I want to pursue art.

If I can't make my life like a princess. I will do it in another way.

The fire in my eyes and heart are showing my eagerness with my life must turn to. That night fate wasn't on my side as father and brother didn't get home. Sadness is bad when you're alone as you will always think all the bad things that happened and make you frustrated, anger and sadness.

Thinking all this year on how thing turn into this. I was the first one he loves, but turned into hate. Is this how love comes in the end? If I knew this will be the outcome, then I won't get those helping hands of him.

2 Years ago...

Looking at the new place and new people. My heart beats fast not because I'm scared, it's just I'm nervous. After I spend my whole life in another country studying rather than here in my home town is kinda new.

I looked at my right like a mirror both of us are looking at each other. She like the character of the book that you often read about a princess who has a wavy golden hair that flows through her hips, strong nose, and clean face, but she isn't smiling which made her blue eyed that looks colder as the sea. That girl is Maddison, she's perfect.

Both of us transfer the same school as our parents are friend while us? We became a nemesis.

"Ugh! I miss school days."- Aunt Adeline said as she nags on my mom. Maddison and I both rolled our eye with each other. Enemy is enemy.

"I know but I don't want to comeback and study again." Mom retored as Aunt Adeline agreed. They really are best friends.

"Who wanted to study again and repeat those lecture? It's like curse if it does repeat again." She said as mom giggled. There reminasing ended as the principal welcome us.

She tour us inside the school including our parents explaining all the details. Those curious eyes are looking and judging us.

"Maddy, my baby you should behave well. Ok?" Aunt Adeline said. Both I and my mother look at each other as she was already knew what will be my high school life would be.

"I love you, Alexandra Mauris Avis." Mom said in very lovingly voice like an angel whose giving her final judge.

"Y-Yes, mom. I love you more than the world." Acting like a puppy so mom won't abandon me.

"I know now go. Both of you should go now." Mom said and Aunt Adeline push as both. Trying to joint as in one body. Both of us look at each other trying to kill each other with the stares and leave on our own.

We're once like a sister by blood but here we are. Trying to kill each other because she blame me about everything I was clueless about. Like where the hell her anger came from?

"I hate you! I don't want to breath the same air with you!" she said in a whisper.

That's quite hurtful.

"I hate you too for the rest of my life. I will never ever cross your line again!"

After I said that both of us, stop in our track but I turn my back on her. I hate her, I just want to reconcile with her today because she's my only best friend that I had. Now she hate me and I hate her now.
