' I never did anything wrong to them! So why would they call me a whore? I don't even have a boyfriend. Do they really know the meaning of the words they use? Do the really know how it pierce my heart? Do they really know how a shadow looms over me every time they call me names? A loser? Is that what I am? I'm better at studies, I'm better at sports, I'm better at many things! Those makeup bag twigs don't know anything. "Truth depends upon the intensity of imagination, not upon facts" Neville Goddard said..... well these delusional twigs have taken it seriously. But i won't fall.

She started staying quiet and spent most of her time in library where no one would disturb her. "Follow your heart" her mother has always told her and so she did ending up in most prestigious university, University X, enrolled in their Architectural program. Rebecca followed her foot steps. Little did they know someone thousands of miles away was planning the same thing.
Mark received his acceptance letter a day after Amber got hers. "Wohoooo..." He exclaimed excitedly, and rushed to Grandpa Lu and Grandma Ann. "Grandpa its time you fulfill your promise!" he demanded " I got my acceptance letter! I'm going to University X! You said Amber applied their as well. Did she got her letter? Did you call her?". " Yes I did" grandpa chuckled, 'this idiot is so happy to meet her' he thought. "She got her acceptance letter yesterday 'Architectural program' is what she opted for" Grandpa winked. Mark went into a daze not believing his ears "same program".
"I talked to your uncle and aunt. They said you can live with them. You will fly 2 days from today" Grandpa Lu informed Mark after a week. "Be good" he smiled "I will be" Mark assured him. Grandpa Lu patted his shoulder and left. Mark started his packing right away fretting over what to wear after all he was going to see Amber after eight years.
