Character Chronicles: Unveiling Personalities
Kamustaa! my name is CHIARA, I'm currently 17yo going 18 in a couple of weeks, I'm a poor orphan who lives with my single parent, my adoptive mom. My adoptive dad died in a car accident a few years ago, so it has just been me and my mom. It's so hard to make ends meet, but we still manage. Mom works as a cleaner for some rich ladies named Mrs. Velldimour—sounds intimidating, right? I knowww. The last time I walked there... Oops, sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Where are we? Oh yeah, so while my mom works there, I work as a part-time waitress on the weekends to help mom with the bills. We live in a run-down apartment, but even so, we're still happy as long as we have each other. I'm your typical broke poor girl whom working her butt off to get to a prestigious college across town for a better education and a better future.
Arghh, my mom is yelling at one of our maids again. I wouldn't be surprised if one day no one would want to work with us anymore. Here I am again, getting into something without introducing myself. Don't blame me, guys, it's the author. Sorry, where am I again? Oh yeah. Ciao, io sono AUSTIN, just turned 18 and the heir of the Velldimour family. I'm your typical rich bad boy, cold as ice in Antarctica (ay ambot damo mani arti ang author man). Being the heir of this billionaire family wasn't always fun. Great power comes with great responsibility, as Spiderman said. And that's the other reason why I'm not a big fan of it. I just can't take all of the overwhelming things happening into my life, i want to take things slow.
Chiara's POV:
(Few months back)
"damn, what a exhausting day. I send my application to that college, and i prayed that my application would approve all of the requirements needed, it's my only ticket to my future. Yes, i want to be a great attorney someday. Victim rights attorney rather, i want to defend those innocent people who have been victimized by stone hearted people. So yeah, i wish, i pray that I'll be quality"
(on Tuesday morning)
"Omgoshhh, Mom!!!! Mooooooom, I got accepted to this college I'm talking about to you. Punch me, pinch me if I'm dreaming. Omgosh, omgoshhh!" I squealed with joy as I held the acceptance letter from that prestigious college across town I'm telling y'all about. "This is the first step to my bright future, Mom. I'm gonna be rich. I mean, not directly rich, but y'know, rich rich, just the first step," I said.
"Yes, sweetie. As soon as you graduate and have a job, you're gonna be rich. And even so, today I'm still proud of you, my child. And I know, so is your father," my mom replied as she squeezed my hands.
That night, I couldn't sleep with excitement, knowing that this is a big shot opportunity for me. I tossed and turn, thinking that it might be a dream but i know it's not, goshh, I'm so excitedddddd
Austin's POV:
Here we go again, mom talking about how should i pursue engineering
"Son, believe me, for i know what's best for you." my mom said. "But mom, i want to be one of the world's best doctors, i want to cure patients. I want to see those smiles after i successfully completed a surgery" i replied
"oh, Austin, you're too young for this. I know you don't know how the world works, you gotta leave before you get left son" mom said as she walked out. "Whatever that meants mom" i mumble, i know there's no point of arguing with my mom. 'Cause in her view, she never made mistake. If i say never, i trully meant NEVER.
(On Sunday night, night before Chiara's first day)
Chiara's POV:
"Omggg, is this really happening? tomorrow? TOMORROW? is my big day, ackkkkk, I can't waittt" i squealed quietly 'cause i might accidentally wake up my mom who's sound asleep. We shared a bed so, I quietly hide my excitement about my big day tomorrow. "Damn, I can't sleep HAHAHAHA, what should i do?" i whispered to my self, as i took my phone and start reading something "fr? donald trump survived an assassination happened in Pennsylvania? he's so lucky" i mumbled, i must dozed off as i woke up because of my phone's alarm "chiara, bugtaw, di kita disney princess" my alarm repeat that sentence "finez i will, calm down. Geez, why did i use that sound as my alarm, gotta change that later. But for now, i need to take a shower" as i ran to the bathroom
*30 mins later
As i get out to the bathroom and come downstairs I bumped into my mom. "oh mom, sorry, didn't see you there, Good morning" i said
"it's ok sweetie, just be more careful next time, good morning" she replied smiling
"btw, i cooked your favorite dish, have a great day at school. Goodluck, i know you'll nailed it. But, i gotta go before you baby, I'm late for work" she added as she kissed me on my forehead and walked out of out tiny apartment. "take care mom, i love you" i said loudly, as she halfway through the door she smiled. After i finished eating, i brush my teeth and grab the things i needed for my first day.
As i step into the campus gate, i just knew that my life will take a 180 degrees turn
