He held my hand tight, pulling me close."We are going to see Derek. I won't take no for an answer," He stamped, pulling me along.I trembled, unable to argue with Antonio over this. His eyes were filled with determination as he forced our path open, pulling me through the crowds.I just followed him from behind, feeling my heart pounding over his decision.Oh heavens! We're going to see Derek! Successfully, Antonio and I got into the gym, looking for Derek. We only saw the others going head to head with a basketball, but Derek wasn't with them.His absence gave me a sudden peace, making me believe that he wasn't here."Seems everyone just want to watch the guys only, " I assumed, about to get Antonio to forget about seeing Derek.
MIRABELTerrified, I ran to the only place I always hid from danger. The empty class room.I ran inside and straight under the desk, shaking in fear."What if she's coming here? What if she saw me entering this place?" I panicked, trembling under the desk.The death stare from Tania killed all the remaining peace in me. All I could feel was nothing but fear for my life."I knew it! Derek, why?!" I groaned, hitting my head.But throughout this week, since that day he accepted Tania, Antonio and I didn't notice any funny movement from Derek. In fact, he has been moving around school with Tania, holding her close like a couple. On Wednesday night, I overheard him talking on phone with Tania. They were talking lovingly with each other, making me accept that he had no plans yet.But he pulls this shocking surprise on the same week he declared Tania his girlfriend.This is too soon.He did
MIRABELIn an empty class, I hid under a desk, crying in pains.My arms wrapped around my legs, with my face buried down.The humiliation was too much to bear. I couldn't take it anymore."God, I'm tired of this. I'm tired of this life. I can't take it any longer. Just help me out of this, I beg of you, " I cried.I was trying my best to stop this stream of tears from flowing out any more, but the faces and echoes of all that mocked me, wouldn't go.And this is all because of Derek. The one I always looked up to when our parents haven't met or announced their relationship to us.Then, when he was just my crush, my life was still okay. I could still stand the bullying from Tania and her friends, but after learning we're going to be step siblings, Derek has made my life a living hell.Now everyone wants to bully me. Everyone hates me."I'm a loser. A nobody. I'm useless.""No you're not " I heard
MIRABEL"Come here," Tania ordered, glaring at me with her arms crossed.Her friends did the same, standing beside her like her bodyguards.My heart was beginning to pound on seeing them. They finally caught up with me. I can't hide any more from Tania.I'm doomed."Mirabel, what is wrong?" Antonio asked, looking at Tania then back at me.He was beginning to see traces of fear all over me, as he stared at my face with concern overwhelming him."Mirabel, " He called my name, taking me by the hand to show his support.Feeling scared, I uttered almost inaudibly to Antonio, "Please help me."His eyes came shimmering with surprise, turning to look at Tania and her friends once again.They had their gazes fixed on me, calling me over."Didn't you hear her calling?""Stop wasting her precious time."Tania's friends said, speaking to me rudely, with their eyes hovering at me.
MIRABELIt was ten in the night. I've been in bed since that time Derek bullied me, sulking in my pains and loneliness.In my hand held a photo of Mom and I, together. It was the only photo I had of us in my bag.The others were back at home, hanging on our walls. I was lucky to have this one in my hands.At least, I won't feel lonely. I have Mom's photo with me."Who's my little princess?" Mom's voice echoed in my head, flashing my memory to the time she always teased me for being worried over some things she took as little.Though it was embarrassing, it still made me smile."I am," I muttered, responding to the voice in my head, hugging the photo tight.Just then, I heard a knock on my door. That got me jumping out of bed in fear, thinking about Derek.Now, any knock that comes on my knock always sounds like Derek, hiding at the corner waiting to attack me like earlier.I cuddled into the co
MIRABELAntonio soon left me to meet Derek. He promised to get back to me once he has spoken to him.I had given him a smile to show my delight in his help in my situation. But as soon as he left, I became terrified, thinking about Derek's reaction."What if he gets mad and comes looking for me? Oh goodness! Why didn't I think of this?!" I panicked, pacing about in the class with so much fear in my heart.I found myself visualizing Antonio and Derek talking about Tania, and that she had sent me to speak to him about being her boyfriend.His face in my mind, came turning red, as he yelled my name out, looking for me."I'm going to make her regret the day she stepped into my life! Where is she?!""No!" I shrieked at my own imagination, getting scared the more."No, no, no. I can't allow him to meet me here. It's best I leave this place and head home. Yes, I'll head home and wait for his return. It's better than staying here in front of multitudes, " I decided, feeling that would be safe
MIRABELI came closer to Derek, standing before him, gasping for air at the same time, and feeling scared within.My eyes came lifting to find Derek and his friends looking directly at me with their brows levitating.His friends didn't look too scary to me like before. Back then, I would have trembled whenever they walked pass me with Derek, knowing well that they are friends with my crush.But now, I no longer felt that way. They didn't give that troubling vibe liie before.The only person that was making me uncomfortable was Derek himself. The way he stared at me, like I had something irritating all over my face, got my body shivering. But I couldn't allow his appearance or gaze to weaken me."Come on, Mirabel. Just say it," I encouraged in my mind, still catching my breathe."What do you want?" Derek questioned in a deep voice, looking annoyed.I stood upright, clearing my throat.The confidence I had gathered within, suddenly came dying when my voice got stuck in my throat."I...
MIRABEL"Where do I start from? How do I approach Derek? " I pondered on in class, looking lost.I didn't know what or how to carry out this plan. All I've been feeling ever since Tania made that deadline, was nothing but intense fear.My heart has been racing since morning, unable to concentrate any more."Mirabel! MIRABEL!!""Yes?!" I answered loudly, turning to look forward.I saw all my classmates gawking at me with their mouths filled with laughter."I have been calling you for more than four minutes straight. Seems you are thinking outside studies, huh?""No, Ma'am. I'm sorry, " I apologized to my professor, feeling ashamed already.I lowered my head down in embarrassment, hearing my classmates cackling at me.When I lifted my head a little, my eyes met with Tania and her friends. They were also laughing at me.Only Tania's grin and gaze terrified me more. She signalled with her
MIRABELSince Mom left me under my future step father and step brother's watchful eyes, I had no other choice but to go to school from there.When the morning came, I got myself ready for school, taking hold of my bag and going through it, just to make sure it was in order.Suddenly, my books fell out due to my carelessness, sending me on my knees to attend to them.I didn't feel like myself. It was as if a part of me was missing or something.While picking the books, my eyes fell on a pick hard cover, which was different from the others."My... My diary," I uttered, slowly picking it.I thought I had forgotten it at home, but it has been in my bag all this while.Taking hold of it, I opened the pages and came across the time I first noted my feelings for Derek down.Reading through it brought nothing but pains to my heart, sending me shutting the diary close.I didn't want to think about the past or about what happened recently. I just want to pretend I never fell in love with him.K
