Liliana's point of View.Five years ago."Please welcome on stage, Liliana Lim!" The host said, alarming me it was my turn to give my speech.I climbed the stage, walking towards the podium with confidence. I was so prepared for the day ahead.With my head held up high, I stood in front of the massive people in the hall, with a big smile on my face.I looked at the hall, my eyes looking for one person in particular; my mother.I could see my classmates in front of me waiting with anticipation to hear what I had to say. My eyes caught a particular person, Dominque, my rival and competition.Just like me, she was outspoken, intelligent and competitive. For our age, we were sure doing things bigger than us, like learning ahead of our class so as to impress and be the best.I waited for some seconds bel

Liliana's point of viewJuli twitched her eyes, patting on the other side of the bed for me to sit. Why do I have to have this kind of pestering sister? She was a bone in my neck who wanted every of her wishes granted."No it's and but Lily, you are definitely..." I cut her off placing my palm on my ears, "Blah blah blah!" I spat out childishly."Get a life Juli," I said and she chuckled."This is painful you know Lily, did you just call me jobless?" She feigned hurt and I stucked out my tongue for her."You know, none of this will obviously move me, not at all!" i muttered sticking my tongue out for her."But seriously, you are seventeen Lily and you haven't gotten a boyfriend for yourself," She said."A round of applause for you July, tell me how many accolades people got for having a boyfriend!" I asked her.Wh

Liliana's point of viewHave you ever wished, you just got locked in the house with a lot of food, a subscription on Netflix and nothing else but you alone.No noise, no distractions, nobody but you and yourself?That was my wish, I was extremely tired, it was damn late and I was hungry. I didn't have an appetite to eat in the evening and now my stomach decided to grumble making sure that my sound was enough to be an alarm sound.I walked downstairs to find something in the kitchen to eat. I pray there was enough for me to eat. I looked into the pot and saw nothing, i walked to the fridge, I opened the fridge, taking out a Pepsi and a coconut bread with me.This was how I'd spend my time. Taking a bite from the bread, I opened my Pepsi. Nothing was more tastier than eating Pepsi and coconut bread.My eyes were getting heavy but I was determined to finish m

Liliana's point of viewI sat down on my bed wearing my long black socks. Today was Monday, a week after school resumed.I was already dressed in my school uniform, preparing for a new school day. I had Ill feelings in my gut wondering how my first day at a new school would be like.Are the students going to be mean or bossy or intelligent and proud? I asked myself. I lie down flat on my bed, I didn't want to go, I didn't have enough courage just yet.The door to my room banged opened and without guessing I knew it was Juli, how were we related?! "What are you doing here?!" I semi yelled."Get up, you are gonna be late for school Lily. Don't forget you have to look your best to get the boys attention so the god of boyfriend's can actually visit you!" Juli exclaimed."Ah!" I screamed. "Shut up Juli, you talk too much!" I spat out.

Liliana's point of viewI needed to sleep, I needed more sleep but here I was standing under th shower with sleepy eyes.Why won't school just end once and for all, so I could sleep and wake up till when I please? "Liliana! Don't tell me you are still taking your bath?!" Juliana screamed from whenever she was but did I really care, not at all.I did not hate school but the time we go to school matters, why couldn't just all school begin at ten o'clock am?There was no way, I'd leave this bathroom soon. I needed rest and as soon as i was done sleeping in here, I definitely will have time for school.Just as I sat down on the floor to take a quick nap, the door to my room banged open, startling me.I looked at the door to see an angry Juliana with her arms folded across her chest."What are you doing?" She asked me wi
