Stop Sugarcoating, Baby

I always think why I was born in this country. Sometimes, I wish I live somewhere peaceful, somewhere that law is fair, unlike here in Felghana. I know that people should be nationalistic, and that they should love their own country, but how can you love your own country if it doesn't love you? "Argh, stressful," I said out of nowhere while lying down in my bed. I just woke up but I feel so exhausted like I already did tons of work. While lying in my bed, what happened yesterday comes back in my mind. I remember how Kate holds my hand, and how soft her voice even if it is over the line. I remember how her eyes look at me with so much... affection? I shook my head. That's not a right thing to think. Maybe I was just over-acting yester

"Hey, Kate. What's up?" I asked her when I finally get over my emotion. The feeling earlier stopped, maybe because I forced myself to do it so. "Nothing special," she answered. "By the way, are you okay now?" "Huh? Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I?" I asked her. It's too late before I realized that I sound so defensive. I almost shout when I answered her. "Okay. I'll just agree with what you said even if I'm not convince," she said before letting out a sigh. "Why did you call me, by the way?" I asked Kate to change the topic of our conversation. It's a bit unusual that Kate is calling me in the middle

"I don't know that you have that kind of past, Casy," Kate said. "I just tell that story to the people close to me. Actually, Dhaile is the first one whom I told that story," I replied. "That's kinda terrifying, and also traumatic, but atleast I already overcome that," I added. "That's sure traumatic. Imagine, a seven year old will witness that kind of scene. That will give fear to that child," Unah said. "Let's just forgot about it," I said. "Do you have any more questions, Kate? We can help you as long as we know the answer," I told her. "Well, let me see," she posed like she is thinking deeply about something. "Hmm, I can't think of any questions. What about telling me why other Ministers after Minister Kang didn't change the law about

"I agree to what Kate said," Unah stated. "Fighting back won't help. The people with powers and money are the superior, while the others are becoming slaves and victims of their cruelty," she added. I can't believe what I'm hearing from them. It looks like they already accepted that Felghana is a cruel country because of its government. "Casy, don't mind the student. Never again. It's not your obligation. Besides, God is here. He knows what is the truth," Dhaile said as she stands up. "Uhm, Unah, can I use your comfort room?" Dhaile asked. "Oh yes. Just enter that way and you will see a blue door. That's the comfort room. The switch for the lights are inside," Unah answered. "Thanks," Dh

There's no class today but I'm so stressed. The thing that just happened days ago is still circulating inside my mind. Mrs. Cambri's depressing face is what I can see right now. After General Cleofas sent us away, Mrs. Cambri cannot

"Good afternoon," Mrs. Avena greeted the guard of General Cleofas' office.

Mrs. Cambri and I rushed to the school. We need to talk to Madam Principal as soon as possible. "Ms. Fryxell! You came back so fast!" the guard said while opening the gate of the school for us. "Who is she?" he asked when he saw the

"Ms. Fryxell? Are you going home already? It's still early," the school guard asked me when he saw me walking to the gate with my backback. "Uhm, no. I'm going to my student's home. He's absent for a week and I need to check him," I answe
