I ran out of the stage with shame, disappointed about how I planned the entire day. I was all prepared for the speech.
My mother came surprisingly and with pride I was so sure I'd win. I was going to make sure my mother was here and today she'd be proud of me and attend every of my competition.
I was halfway though the debate when I saw my mother stood up from her seat, answering a phone call.
I suddenly lost concentration as I watched her movement, forgetting my points. I heard mufflings from the crowd, all eyes on me.
I could do it, I said to myself but who was I kidding? I couldn't. It was the end for me, I had lost it all.
I ran out of the stage in shame, crying my eyes out. This was supposed to be the best for me. My mother didn't bother to check on me and when I searched for her, I realised she was gone. She didn't care and that was how I ended it all.
The next day in school, I was the talk of the entire school, I wondered why I was hated by both boys and girls, they made fun of me and called me a loser who couldn't who couldn't speak in public.
Since then I hid my face and Didi everything in silence, avoiding anything that has to do with crowd ever again, I lost my confidence and I lost the zeal to participate in everything.
My whole world changed and I knew it really did, u didn't think anything would change me again and I felt suffocated. Everything was hard on me, I became a victim of bully and Dominique did everything in her power to make my life a living hell.
Does it always have to disrupt my beauty sleep? I asked the alarm with my eyes, with a frown on my face.
I struggled to get up from my bed and headed to the bathroom, staggering with sleepy eyes.
After taking my bath, I wrapped the towel around me and walked to stand in front of my mirror.
I stared at myself in the mirror after getting dressed. I was about to apply lipstick when a scene of yesterday flashes in my memory.
The scene of Ric and me at the beach came to my memory, making me wondered what happened back there.
We were so close and the breeze was quiet too, it was as in, we were both in different world entirely and I panicked.
Was he really want to kiss me or were we both in a state that we didn't understand? Kiss me?, Nah!
I wouldn't ever kiss someone, that was just so impossible, maybe it was something else.
We were caught up in the moment? No, no, he didn't, I was only insinuating. I didn't even understand my thoughts.
"Arghh!" I groaned frustratingly, wondering what would have happened if we weren't interupted.
Yesterday Juliana was the one that interrupted the moment. We didn't know it was late and forgot about the time.
While we were walking to meet up with the others, it was awkward between us. He said nothing while I did the same.
Everything was confusing me, what happened back there? I asked myself trying to recall the scene.
"Scratch it, Lily, things happened, it was nothing serious. You were probably hallucinating," I said to myself, tying my shoe lace while I sat down on my bed.
I packed my hair in an high ponytail. I carried my school bag, placing it on one of my shoulder and left my room.
Once I got to school, I searched for Crystal. She was probably the only girl that spoke to me so far and it felt nice have a female friend.
I first of all, went to my locker to get my notebooks, while getting my notebook, someone slammed my locker door, startling me
"Hey!" Crystal said with a grin on her face.
"Gosh, Crystal, you scared me." I places my hand on my chest, trying to calm my raging heart.
"Sorry. So are you going to sign up for Crown Day?" She asked.
"Crown day?" I asked her confused about what that was.
"Oh! I forgot to explain to you. You remember those flyers I was pasting the other day, it was for crown day. Crown day is a day where the king, queen and the face of Diamond high school are chosen," she lamented.
"And once you are chosen, what are the privilege and the duties?" I asked her.
"Once you are the kind or the queen or the face of Diamond high school, you have a lot of privilege. You are like one of the board members of the school who speaks on behalf of the student. Nothing can be done without seeking your permission first, you are the face of the school and you help fight for the right of students too," she explained.
"That's a nice one," I said to her.
"So are you going to participate?" She asked me.
"No," I said.
"Why? You've got the looks." She said.
"That's not the reason," I said.
"Then what is it?" She asked.
I just shook my head and ignored the question. I'm not one to tell people my fear because they'd use it against me and I've already told Ric.
Speaking of him, I saw him coming with his friends by his side and immediately Crystal frowned.
"What's up lil' mama," Richard said and tried wrapping his hands around my waist which I shrugged off. What was wrong with this boy, is definitely break his arms one day.
Ric's eyes met mine and before I knew it, he smirked.
Eww, what's wrong with the guys at this school? I just walked off.
The school ended for the day. While coming down the stairs, I mistakenly twisted my ankle.
"Ouch!" I cried out.
"Are you okay?" Asked a deep voice.
I looked up and saw a tall lean guy. His hair was curled and short. He had caramel skin, piercings on his ears and nose, and his lips were big and pink. He was really handsome.
"I'm... I'm..." I tried speaking.
"Shhh!" He said and carried me bridal style.
"Where do you live?" He asked.
"Who are you?" I questioned.
"You should say thank you and tell me your address so I can take you home." He said already angry with my attitude.
"I'm sorry, really sorry," I said.
I told him where I lived and when we reached home, I asked for his name.
"Daniel." He said and I could see his dimples.
"What's yours?" He asked.
"Liliana," I tell him.
He didn't say anything again and drove off.
Rude much, I said.
*****
"I don't know what Crystal's problem is, she's been begging me to participate in the Crown stuff!" I said to Ric pissed off.
When I got back home, Crystal called me telling me to participate in the Crown Day competition. I really don't know her obsession with this stuff, if she was that interested, she should participate in it herself.
He was looking at me amusingly.
"Participate, I'm also participating." He said after a while.
"So what makes you think that because you are participating, I should want to?" I asked him.
"Because I'm handsome and girls would love to partner with me in the finals," He said arrogantly.
"Cocky much?" I scoffed.
"Too bad I'm not barbie caked-face or blondie." I coo'd.
"And who are they?" He asked confused.
I laughed hysterically.
"You... you... don't.. know?" I said between laughs.
He shrugged.
"Whatever! The fact is, you should be lucky I ain't chasing you or else you would have totally fallen for me. You've even fallen for me already." He said and smirked.
I kept my mouth open, shocked by his sentence.
"Is that what you think?" I asked him, raising my brows.
"Okay then, let's play a game." He said and the next thing I knew, he was him finding his way over to my window.
He got into my room. We were now standing face to face. I didn't know why I felt drawn to his amazing eyes.
Fact was and fact is, Ricardo was really handsome, and any girl would be proud to be his but I'm definitely not that girl. High school relationship was a big no for me.
He placed his hands on my waist and I could feel tingles all over my body, catching me off guard I nearly fell down.
A part of me said to push his hands away, but my body wasn't listening.
He placed his head to the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent.
I just froze like a statue.
He removed his head from the crook of my neck and leaned close to me. Unknowingly I closed my eyes and he laughed bringing me out of my reverie.
"Don't promise things you can't keep," Ricardo whispered in my and chuckled.
"Where's your sharp tongue gone, Lily?" He questioned with a smirk.
"No need to worry, I don't go for your type, I like my girls wild and hot." He said, walking out of my room through the window.
What just happened. My heart was beating erratically. What is this boy doing to me?
One thing's for sure, no boy has ever made me feel the way I feel when I'm with him.

Liliana's point of viewI yawned as I stretched my hand, sitting on my bed. I rubbed my eyes with my palm as is try to keep my eyes opened.New day, and weekend. I got off my bed as I made an attempt to open my window, I remembered who my neighbor was; Ricardo.The guy who I thought to be my friend but who disgraced me most. I frowned when I recalled last night scene."Hmph!" I walked away instead. I opened the door to my room as I made my way downstairs.I suddenly started kissing Juliana. If only she was ber, food would be ready and I'd get to feel livelihood.I walked into the kitchen to see Dennis eating. "Good morning," he greeted."Good morning," I replied.

Liliana's point of viewI did a 360 full turn as soon as he said his last statement. At first my heart felt as if, it was dragged out of his position but I was able to get myself as quick as possible.I was a teenager too and I never for once try to make everything in life about sexuality! I felt the urge to curse suddenly, something I wasn't used to but I bit my lips from doing such and going against my principles.The smirk on his face riled me up and suddenly I couldn't control my tongue anymore and before I realised, I spat out words I shouldn't have."Too bad I don't give head to lollipops lil' dad," I retorted with a scoff.I felt the urge to slap my mouth
Roses are flowers 12~ Mona's Party (1)
Liliana's point of viewI have never gone out to visit someone at night talkless of going to places that was crowded.I fidgeted my fingers while sitting at the back of the taxi, I was nervous and I didn't know how the night would turn out like.Once I finally reached my destination, I paid the taxi man and got down. I contemplated if I should call Crystal and tell her I was around or if I should just walk closer first.Once I got passed the gate, I was in awe of the building in front of me; it wasn't just a building but a mansion.The whole place was crowded with people. It wasn't a house, it was a Mansion. Who could live here? I thought.I saw teenagers all over and the music could be heard out loud outside making me wonder if this was a legal party.The front yard was filled with drunk, horny tee

Liliana's point of viewI was starting to become dull! I knew I wasn't good with mathematics neither was I good with physics but at least I was an average student when it came to those subjects but now it was as if I was reading in Japanese and I couldn't phantom anything at all.I tore the shit of my book because I got the question wrong. I have been trying to solve this question for the past one hour but nothing seems to fit.This is so frustrating, I guess God decided to skip my brain when he was giving knowledge on mathematics.I placed my head on my bed trying to calm my brain and come up with

Roses are flowers 9~ The beach (2)
Liliana's point of viewI closed my eyes whilst walking alongside. The breeze from the sea sent goosebumps on my skin making me shiver slightly.The smell of the beach was sooting to me and I loved the feel of the beach sand on my feet."You are really enjoying the weather?" Ricardo voice brought me out of my reverie."Oh. I do, I like the beach, one of my favorite places to be on earth," I said to him."So, Lily, tell me, if you had to choose between leaving the country to stay with your loved ones when there is war or stay in the country and help with the situation, what would it be?" Ricardo asked.At first, I stopped and raised my brows at him, giving him a questioning look."Okay scratch that," he said and I chuckled."Seriously? Is that even a question?" I asked him."Now answ
