MIRROR LIVES
A ray of light flashed across my eye, once again i felt the feeling of drowning into a bottomless pit, all that surrounded me was dark mist then a hand reached out to me, I found hope again. Who would have thought such a little gesture would save me from years of suffering and guilt
Georgina! Georgina! wake up before i get pissed How many times have i warned you to stop sleeping when you have chores to do.Get up the chores won't do themselves." I'm sorry stepmother i won't repeat it again" georgina hurriedly stood up out of fear of her stepmother,her stepsisters Madison and Gwin chuckled as they saw Georgina's face "she looks like she had just seen a ghost" muttered Gwin. Georgina was sorting out the clothes in the laundry as Madison sat on the chair at the right corner of the laundry room " How long are you going to put up with my mother,I have told you countless times that running away was the---I don't want to hear it" Georgina interupted "I won't run away from my challenges and if you really wanted to help me, you would have taken my side infront of your mother" Madison was short of words to say because she knew if she took her side that her too would be treated like an outcast and she wasn't ready to live such a life."Your mother died when you were ten,why did you allow him to remarry" said Madison "I told him countless times but how would he listen to a ten year old and how do you know my mum died when i was ten, My father never told stepmom about it" Georgina gave a look of suspision,Madison tried to avoid eye contact with her as Gwin walked in "Madison why are you discussing with this peasant" madison saw that as an escape point from the discussion so she left without saying a word
Georgina's life was only full of suffering, even her dreams never gave way to a beautiful imagination but just a fall with no end."when will you know your place-you don't belong here-you peasant-She thinks she is in a fairy tale,where is your prince charming" echoes of laughter that was all that lingered unto her wherever she went, she knew her life was not a fairy tale neither was she cinderella but she was determined to become successful and would do anything to achieve her goal
"Stepmother please let me go to highschool" Georgina knelt down on her two knees hoping her stepmother would hear her plights."Never in a thousand years" she replied but Georgina was not willing to give up now since she had come this far,day after day she would plead to her stepmother and on one faithful day her mother accepted."Do not embarass me like do as if you don't know me I don't want people thinking i am related to a peasant like you" Gwin said with a straight face and looked at her sister for affirmation"Yes that's right" Madison said hesitantly. Georgina was always the social type so she did not find it hard to make friends.She had three close friends;June which she met in art class,Jeffrey who helped her to know the school more and Chloe who was June's friend. Four of them were inseperable and they topped the class in their studies,Gwin was always finding ways to break their friendship and tried every possible way telling them that she is a slave and an orphan and doesn't deserve their friendship but her friends already knew that Gwin was just a bully and did not pay that much attention to her
Georgina started preparing for her midterm exams and her stepmother did everything she could to sway her attention from her books but she already set a timetable and read through the night till the sun set that was why she could only have some rest on afternoons but what she hated the most were her afternoon dreams, it always made her feel suffocated like she was drowning to no return but the afternoon before her midterms everything changed when someone stretched a hand to her in her dream for the first time .The first sentence she uttered was "Who are you?" but she got no response and she did not want to leave his hand hanging so she held it. A wide spark then a black out.
She woke up and her eyes opened faintly."Why is my room this big?" she questioned herself then she used the her hand to clean her eyes and looked again "This is not my room how did i get here? why do i look like this?"Georgina tried to recall all that had happened but before she could a loud voice echoed from downstairs
"ETHAN!!!"
Ethan? who is Ethan?
