All Chapters of MY REFLECTION: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

A WEEK LATERNatasha strolled through the corridor deep in thought.  "I'm almost done with Gina. Now I need a very good strategic way to get to Desmond. Think, Nat, think...", she muttered." Gosh, am such a genius. I'll call him over for dinner after school,then I'll take over the rest... Yes!, such a sharp brain I've got up there....", she chuckled and trod into her room.GRAVE YARDGisella stood by his father's grave in tears. She dropped the flowers in her hands, brushing her hands over the grave." Hi, daddy....(chuckles faintly amidst tears), your baby is here to see you.( sobs) You couldn't wait for me to return from the hospital to save you but I can understand how you felt before leaving. It wasn't your wish to leave me all alone in this cruel world. ( wiping)But I miss you and will always love you...... "She laid on the grave shuttered in tears. A soft, t

HOSPITALGisella and Lizzy arrived at the hospital with Gina. Gisella quickly rushed into the hospital, shouting desperately." Help us, please....someone is dying....""Come....where is the patient", the nurses approached with a stretcher." Please follow....... "Lizzy sat on the floor with Gina on her laps when the nurses approached with Gisella." Save her, please..... ", Lizzy cried.The nurses hurriedly laid Gina on the stretcher, rushing her in with Lizzy and Gisella behind." Please stay here....", a nurse uttered, closing the door of the emergency ward behind.Gisella and Lizzy stood at the door, nervous as they shuffled around. Gisella drew closer to a chair at the corner of the ward and faint slowly into it, devastated." What are you waiting for before you use what you were gifted with from birth...?", a

SCHOOLLoretta dashed off behind Desmond as he angrily sped off." Desmond.... wait for me, please....", she cried behind him." Just let me be, I'm not in the mood for your troubles....", he shouted back.Loretta realized her efforts were just not working as planned. She stood for a moment in thought." I really need to get his attention else Bianca and Paola will definitely laugh at me for a failed plan. oh, gosh! what should I do now....?", she wondered in frustration.She suddenly beamed with smiles, chuckling." Desmond, you will surely go on this date with me tonight... ", she whispered.Desmond was about to board the bus when he suddenly heard Loretta scream in pain. He swiftly turned and saw her laying on the ground, groaning in pain. " Lore....Lore...what is wrong with you....?", he exclaimed worriedly, rushing to her side.

NATASHA'S ROOM" How dare him.....! how dare him decide not to come....Desmond,you'll regret your decision. I will make you regret...!!!", Natasha exclaimed, throwing things around,furiously." Oh....I know the person behind all this. Gisella, Um...you are trying to meddle in my business again. Alright, we'll see how far you'll go with this..."She angrily dashed out of the room towards Gisella's room.GISELLA' S ROOMGisella laid on her bed, crying herself out when the door suddenly slammed opened. She jolted, adjusting herself on the bed." What do you want again, Natasha....? ", she cried." (chuckles),oh, I see...you even had the gust to ask what I want...., very funny, Gisela.... ""If you don't have anything to say, kindly get yourself out of my room. I'm not in for your troubles this time...."Natasha laughed, shuf

TWO DAYS LATERSCHOOLDesmond sat in the class lost in thoughts. It's been two days now since Gisella was discharged from the hospital but never had she called or texted. She had neither attended class as well and Desmond was getting more worried about that. He tried calling but she never answered his calls nor texted back.Desmond was so frustrated that he didn't know what else to do." It's better I visit her at home after class. I really need to find out what's going on with her...", he thought to himself." Hey, Desmond, here you are. I've been looking  all around for you....", she exclaimed from behind, placing her hand on his shoulder.Desmond jolted, a bit startled." Hey, Lore....you startled me. Um, what where you saying?"" Hey...what's that face? I've been looking all around for you and here you are with a long face."" Oh, sor

SCHOOLClass was finally over. Gisella hurriedly packed her stuff into her bag and dashed out of the class without uttering a word. Desmond starred at her, hurt and strolled behind her." I'll find out what you are hiding, Gisella ", he muttered." Look over there, Lore...", Paola cried, nudging her  towards the direction of Desmond and Gisella.Loretta and Bianca smiled, elated." I think this is the best time for you to act, girl", Bianca whispered." Bianca is right, Lore, find a way to get Gisella out of the picture, that's the only way you'll have Desmond by your side forever"Loretta nodded cheerfully with a smile, smirking." Sure, girls...I'll surely get her out of my way before she knows. Let's go, I need to meet with someone, now...", she replied, picking up her bag." Where are we going?", Bianca asked, a bit puzzled

HOSPITALDesmond anxiously rushed into the hospital, panting heavily." Hi, Miss...Please I'm looking for a patient, Mrs. Catherina Benson. She was rushed here some minutes ago. Can I know her ward? ", he queried at the reception." Wait a moment while I check it for you ", the nurse replied, turning back to the laptop infront of her.Desmond stood impatiently at the reception, shuffling around, desperately."Desmond?", Catherina called, approaching from the doctor's office with Martin." Mum....!", he cried, rushing towards her." Are you okay, mum?", he cried, hugging her." Yes, honey,I'm fine. But how did you know I was here...?", she queried worriedly." Umm..., Sorry, Mrs. Catherina, I informed him. I forgot to tell you...", Martin stated." What happened, mum? what did the doctor say?", Desmond interrupted.

THE ANTONIO'S MANSION It was already midnight. The moon shone its bright light as the darkness laid still and quiet with the warm breeze brushing through the earth.Gisella laid tossing and turning on her bed, deep in thoughts as the words of the strange girl and the old woman she met at the hospital continued to echo in her thoughts. " oh, God....what's really going on with me? ", she mumbled nervously." Why do I keep meeting these strange people? And they keep speaking in words I don't seem to understand. Goodness, I wish my life was just as simple as every normal young lady", she cried. Just then, she heard a knock on the door. She jolted out of her thoughts, tensed. " Who is there?", she called but no one answered.  Gisella gazed nervously at the door, confused." I thought I heard a knock at the door? But why didn't anyone answer ?", she murmured.

Gisella rushed through the corridors towards the canteen helplessly, in search of Desmond. " Hope I find you on time, Desmond ", she cried, bumping into Martin. " Ouch, watch where you are going, ghost ! , what's  the rush for..." " Oh, I'm so sorry, Martin. It was an accident ", she exclaimed, dashing off immediately. " Such bad manners she's got over there too. She didn't even pause for a second to apologise properly. Gosh... ", he nagged, gliding towards the classroom.    CANTEEN Loretta got to the table with the food and settled beside Desmond, placing the tray on the table. " Here you go, Desmond. This is yours, have it ", she uttered with a smile, placing one of the plate in front of him. " Thanks, Lore...." " Don't mention. Now guys, let's eat bef

Natasha stood by her car, boiling with anger. She angrily opened the driver's side and sat down, banging her hand over the wheel." Damn it, Gisella ! Damn it ! ( panting heavily with rage). Who does she think she is ? What gust does she have to intrude? I'll make sure I get you out of my way this time, Gisella...just wait and see."She picked up her phone, scanning through as she waited patiently for school to close. Hours later, she saw a strange looking guy, flash over to the school's gate, spying through the compound." Who do we have here and what is he up to ?", Natasha wondered, sitting up as she spy through the mirror.Bello stood in front of the entrance of the school and drew out his phone. He quickly scanned through and  dialed Loretta's line.************CLASSROOMLessons were still ongoing. The whole class kept starring at Mr. Philip w
