It’s my
five hundred and fourth time walking through this dark and dreary hallway with
people running everywhere, talking and laughing near the wall. Well, the first
time, it was so annoying, now I’m used to it. My mind kept on reminding me of
what my parents said before I transferred and left them behind. “We know you
can do it, just trust yourself, feel it with your own heart, we will be waiting
for you two.” As I left my parents behind and entered a new and unidentified
world I kept on thinking, am I the right person to find her? Isn’t it that she
left because of me? Why do I have to live in a disguise too?
“Hey!
Trivina, you’re always just in time. Do you know whom this belongs to?” I
wonder who is speaking. Oh, I remember, she always sits beside me in the class
since she first entered this school like she is assigned to. Her hair is straight
black, and I really love it. She’s just one centimeter taller than me but she
is as skinny as I am. I used to have the same beautiful hair as her, but mine
was blonde and her familiar smell, I think I’ve smelled it a thousand times
before. She points at the end hallway towards a big crowd of people surrounding
a very nice, expensive, white, bag with a CS symbol on the right side complete
with its expensive, cute colorful key chain. I’m terribly shocked! I stand
completely still like a rock, not moving, it might be the fake one. But it
really looks like mine, why are my look-alike-old-things always showing up here
since Sophia entered? I thought I’d left everything behind and now I don’t have
anything, not even myself.
“Trivina,
are you okay?” Sophia asked, acting, as if she was trying to confirm something.
My face almost melted because I’m so afraid they’ll find out about my true
identity. I almost display my worried expression on my face. But, thankfully I
was properly in control of myself; I am too expert at these things. I know she
was just acting so that she can confirm who am I really was and will ask me to
go back, but why Sophia instead of Mercy herself?
I slowly
changed my expression into a very exited person so she wouldn’t noticed me “Oh
my! That extra ordinary bag is so cute. Hope I could touch them. Ah! Maybe I could
try wearing them. It might be cool.”
“There is
no way you could wear them. Even to touch them, I won’t let you do it. Look!
There is an initial of ‘CS’ on it. I think, this is belongs to Chloe Scarlett,
that famous girl. I’ve seen her wearing it in her photos with her twins, Mercy
Scarlett several time, it’s her favorite bag!” Said a girl standing beside me
in the crowd. Those words go though my body and reach my heart.
My smiles
are fading. “Well… Okay, I know…” I know in this situation, I can’t touch my
things or even hug my own twin. I feel so sorry to mess with you, please come
and get me; I just want you to accept my apology. Drop comes out from my eyes,
one-drop, two drops, three drops, and it becomes rain. I cover my face, hopping
nobody noticed my tears but my sound makes all eyes turn towards me. The girl
beside me felt sorry for what she has said to me. She walked through the grassy
ground to reach for the bag and gave it to me. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean what I
had said before. Here, you go.”
At the
same time, a small and smooth texture of hand reach me, I feel like home is
here, right beside me. A familiar hug follows. It is so warm that my heartbeat
slows down. A second later I chill myself. I open my hand while lifting my head
“Mercy, is that you? If yes, I’m so sorry for messing around with you, I’m so
sorry for almost destroying your project that you had spent 5 nights 6 days
working on it. I’m going to help you but you need to accept my apology.”
A big
smile and laugh spread across Sophia’s face “Hahaha! How long do you think
these problems have to go? My project has done. I’ve even submitted it before I
transferred to this school. You sure are so sensitive aren’t you? You silly
little Chloe, I won’t want you to sneak out. Well, I’m so sorry for letting you
sneak out. Mother and father are very scared, I’m so glad that you’re okay,
let’s go home.”
That girl
before, dropped the bag and shouted “Ahhh!!! Chloe!! I’ve made you cry. I’m so
sorry…” I laughed, “Ahahah that’s okay, I’m glad you said those words, thank
you.”
