All Chapters of Pink Nostalgia: Chapter 11 - Chapter 13

Yesterday was an interesting day but exhausting at the same time, meeting two people who were a link to the story of Villa Mercedes. It just made the story even more confusing. I couldn’t wait to meet Gabriel to tell him about Lucia and Victor. I was surprised when Chloe approached me at lunch. I was eating by myself in the garden outside the cafeteria when she came to sit beside me with her half-eaten tuna sandwich. It was really awkward to sit beside someone who was just yelling at you the other day.I quietly prepared myself for her insulting remarks. For a second, I was expecting her to be rude but I was surprised when she greeted me with a sweet smile. “Hello, Denise. How are you?” she asked, making herself comfortable in the free space beside me. I didn’t know how to answer her. I wanted to tell her to leave me alone but I didn’t want to create a scene. “I’m fine. Thank you.

“I didn’t kill her!” I was panting when I opened my eyes and saw worried faces of people surrounding me. “Believe me. I didn’t kill, Chloe,” I said, pleading. I hastily touched Flora’s arm. “It was an accident.” She stared at me, looking confused. I saw the confusion at other people’s faces too. I started recognizing them, the school nurse, my class adviser, Ms. Torres and Jane, our class president. “Denise, of course, you didn’t kill her. You weren’t even near her when the accident happened,” Flora pacified me and it was my turn to be confused. “And luckily, she wasn’t dead. Just badly hurt. I heard, she won’t be able to walk again. It was tragic.” I was speechless. “Take a good rest, Denise,” Ms. Torres told me. &ldquo
