*******fast forward *******
Monday c@m£ again, that morning I didn’t even feel like going to school but my mom begged and I hate seeing my mom begging or even sad angry or crying
So I hurried to school alone, i missed our morning chat between me, Michael and Jane, none of them c@m£ to call me that morning and I expected none would …
I got to clas-s that morning, Jane didn’t come but Michael c@m£ …
I got to my seat ,sat down and sighed, “good morning ” Michael greeted
I pretended I didn’t hear and I la-id my head on the desk re-ady to cry once more when, someone tapped me, I looked up and met Caleb’s gaze, as his face glowed in the morning sun
“hi good morning ” Caleb greeted
“hi” I said weakly
“is everything okay… You look.. Down have you been crying you have dark eyes and puffed upper eye lid” he said coming closer
“Am just tired” I said sighing
“well you can come to sit with me, incase we are called to bring out our project and since Jane’s not in school ”
Caleb said smiling
“S… Sure ” I managed to say
As I carried my bag he greeted Michael but Michael responded weakly
We got to his seat and sat down
“are you sure you are okay” he asked looking worried and sweet
“I am fine b.. ”
“but what ”
“can I ask you something caleb”
“go on”
“I mean I saw Vicky in your drawer the both of you sorry for invading your privacy but she looks so much like me” I said
“yeah you guys are damn identical ” caleb snarled
“where is she now” I asked leaving Caleb stunned
“plea-se be honest” I continued
“she’s de… She’s just not around here for the main time” he said with bitterness in his words
“I would like to meet her someday cause she’s strange ” I said
“yeah” Caleb muttered out
“Stephanie ” he called
I turned to him and his eyes were firmly fixed on me..
“”yes””I answered nervously
“would you um..should…we… I mean will you be my girlfriend ”
I was surprised by his words… “but aren’t you d@t!ngvicky” I said with my eyes turning like a spiral line…
“don’t you get it she’s my ex” he mutterd slowly
I began to think about, everything, if I say eyes then he’ll be my b©yfri£nd, I would cry in his arms when am down, I will enjoy his flir-t and sweet talks, I ll share p@rt of my secret with him, he’ll console me and make me the happiest girl on earth
I put a real thought in all this and muttered out
“yes”
“oh thanks so much I can’t believe this ” he hvgged me and looked at myl-ips and I know he was going in for a k!ss
“no not here we are in the clas-s” I muttered to my self
“I don’t care” he said and brushed hisl-ips against mine k!ss!ngme pas-sionately and for once I forgotten my sorrow.
Me submitted our project and got an A1, we were both happy, Caleb introduce me to Michael pla-yfully as his girlfriend and Michael does not look happy
That day I got home smiling from ear to ear, while eating dinner I asked
“mom I saw a girl ”
And what happened ” she asked
“she looks so much like me” I said and drank my water. ”
“funny though ” my mom said laughing
“no ma’ this is serious, we’re identical her name is vicky”
My mom spoon fell from her hand and she suddenly looked scared…

“what’s wrong” I asked my mom as she suddenly dropped her spoon
“nothing just a little noxious ” she replied
“but honey how do you get to know this girl vicky” my mom asked
“I know a boy who knew her, though I haven’t meet her before, I’ve only seen her picture but mom she is me” I said with a serious look ..
“whats the boy’s name”
“caleb”
“how does he know this Vicky you speak of”
She asked
“she’S he’s ex girlfriend ” I said sarcastically
“and very soon I’ll make sure he takes me to her house and I can see her, and my face on hers and maybe, I can have a glimpse of her mom too because how can someone who didn’t c@m£ out of you looks like me” I said jokingly, while my mom fisted her palm and hit the table then stood up
“you have to avoid that Caleb or so” my mom yelled
“mom is everything okay why the sudden… ”
“quiet am your mother and I know what’s right for you so don’t question me and don’t ever see, or talk to that Caleb again, un-derstood” she yelled again
“mom what’s all this about you can’t tell me who to see and talk to” I said standing
I can because am your mother”
“well too bad because Caleb and I are d@t!ng” i said
“what” my mom snarled
“yes we are, do you can’t st©p me from seeing him”
“oh really” my mom said angrily
“yeah” I replied waiting for the worst
“you’re leaving your school and trust me you’re going to a school very far away from caleb” she saiD
“mom why are you doing this” I said with a shaky voice
“am doing this for your own good okay, trust me am doing this for us” my mom sounded as if she wanted to cry but never did
“what good plea-se mom I love my school” I cried out
“no… Don’t beg me I know what am doing, tomorrow am going to make a transfer do¢v-ment , and next tomorrow you are going to start a new school “east high”
“mom why are you doing this you are not the mom I knew”
“shut up Stephanie I said am doing this for your good” my shouted causing a hvge chaos
“I hate you mom I hate you” I said, crying and I ran up stairs
I locked my room door and la-id on the be-d quietly ..
*why is mom like this
*why did she just flare up when I called the name vicky
*or is there something she’s not telling me
I asked my self this questions as I wept quietly, “oh heavens, let me pas-s throu-gh this days of tears”
******fast forward******
The next day I got re-ady for school sadly, i went downstairs, I didnt even bother to greet my mom *cause she made me real mad* ,as I made for the door I heard a “St©p” it was my mom
I slowly turned and found my mom’s gaze
“what ” I said angrily
“won’t you eat something ” she said
“NO” I muttered out loud and left, I didn’t intend to behave that way to my mommy am a good girl, and I love my mom but she made me mad I just couldn’t control it how can she just decide to transfer me all in the name of Caleb who she hasn’t see, who just bec@m£ my b©yfri£nd, my heart beater and my everyday smile…
As I got to clas-s that morning,I got to my seat I didn’t notice anyb©dy, I was lost in thought, I cant leave this school how am I going to make new friends were am I going to see another b©yfri£nd
I felt a t©uçh on my shoulder and found my head swinging to Michael’s direction
“huh” I said
“um your bag is on my book” he said
“sorry” I said calmly and re-moved my bag
He could have re-moved the bag himself but he just wanted to talk to me
Jane c@m£ that day but didn’t even dare to look at me, i tried talking to her but she just ignored me… So I st©pped trying
During break me caleb and Michael who caleb f0rç£d to sit with us, sat down with us, we started talking and he talked about old school how he was popular with Vicky..
I remembered my mom and I sighed I decided to tell him about my transfer and I did and he wasn’t happy about it..
Michael too was thri-lled
“which school are you transferring to ”
He asked
“East High” I replied
“oh… My…oh no I mean that’s great” he said nervously
**fast forward **
The next day I I was f0rç£d by mom to go to my new school put on their amazing uniform which i pretended to hate …
I ate breakfast *pleadings from my mom*
As I got to my new school the principal looked at me surprisingly, then offered a teacher to take me to my clas-s, i was sad depressed angry excited, nervous anxious and scared
..
As I walk in the clas-s with my hair swinging at my back…
the teacher smiled at me strangely and left the clas-s..
I stared at everyb©dy as they smiled at me
Immediately three girls ran up to me and hvgged me calling me “vicky”

“W… What” I said slowly moving back a bit as the three girls hvgged,
They dis£ngage their bodies from mine and they just couldn’t st©p smiling
“oh vicky we missed you so much” one if them said with red hair
“yeah you just suddenly disappeared after the school camp ” another one said with a brownish blond hair
*its like this is Caleb’s and Vicky’s school* I thought
“um look guys am… not ” I scratch my head not completing my words how can I tell them am not Vicky
“wait where’s our friendsh!pbr@celets, why did you take yours of” the one red hair said
I looked at their wrist and found identical pink br@celets lying there…
“looks guys am not vicky” I said immediately
“huh” one with thick short black hair said..
“are you okay “you’re not Vicky what does that mean” the one with black hair said…
“plea-se where can I seat first ” I said with a sm-irk
“in your seat over there ” the one with red hair said and pointed to a seat behind the window close to an empty seat..
“thanks” I said and they looked at me strangely and I could tell what’s up
I walk up to the chair and I sat down… Smling, the three girls c@m£ to meet me again and said
“Vicky are you sure you are okay”
“am fine ” I said cheerfully
“plea-se what’s your names so I won’t get confused” I said smiling
“do you have amnesia” the one with brownish blond hair
“you know like forgetting your memory” she continued
“am fine and am Stephanie by name” I said trying to make them un-derstand
“hmm but.. Anyway incase you have amnesia am kalina ” the one with brownish blond hair said
“am Mavis” the one with black hair said
“and am jisoo” the one with red hair said
“okay Kalina Mavis and jisoo got it,and I don’t have amnesia am Stephanie I know who you guys are talking about vicky she looks just lik3 me and she’s Caleb’s ex” I said bogglely
“aren’t you the vicky” Kalina said
“am not” I replied
“then how did you know about Caleb ” jisoo asked
while Mavis and Kalina nodded in agreement
“because he’s attending my school, my formal school” I said and the three of them looked at each0ther strangely
“you’re freaking me out ” jisoo said and walked away .. And then Kalina and Mavis walked away too..
*goodness what a day who’ll believe me, when i look so much like Vicky, everyone would think have gone crazy **thanks to you mom***
.
I listened and paid attention to every subject taught and the school was damn disciplined, I could see some teachers smiling at me, Vicky must be very popular, I thought, one p@rticular teacher Mrs Browns told me to help her carry the clas-s books to her office..
I did and as I got to her office, I dropped it and said
“I’ll be taking my leave now”
“vicky” she called
I didn’t answer because I didn’t want anyone to address me with that..
“Vicky ” she called again with my face still down
“ma’am my name’s Stephanie plea-se for god’s sake am not vicky” I said almost in tears
“how can you say that are you throwing away your identity” she said
“no Mrs Browns you won’t un-derstand but plea-se can I leave”
“you can, you are scaring me” she said and I left in tears, I was cleaning my eyes when I entered the clas-s and I ran to my seat bent my head and started to cry **vicky who are you*where are you **
I felt a slight t©uçh on my shoulder, I slowly raised my head and found, Kalina, jisoo and Mavis..
“aren’t you going out for bre… Oh my gosh have you been crying ” jissoo said trying to clean my tears
“Vicky are you sure everything is going smoothly ” Mavis said
“for god’s sake am not vicky” I yelled covering my ears
and crying louder
“bu…but” before Kalina could complete her words jisoo shunned her and said
“there’s only one way to find out” she brou-ght out my hands, moved my uniform sleeves up and examined my wrists
“she’s not Vicky guys ” she said surprisingly
“what!! ” Kalina and Mavis said and examined my wrists too..
“it can be ” then who are you ” Kalina asked
“am Stephanie ” I said cutely and sniffed the air cleaning my tears..
“but this is impossible ” jisoo said…
“well I kind of believe because you don’t have a fire burnt mark on your wrist and your hairs longer, Vicky never wanted her hair long it st©pped at her shoulder and yours is nearly at your w@!st ” Mavis said….
They took me to the cafeteria and I explained all to them how Caleb c@m£ to our school how I knew him, he told me about Vicky and how I was shocked she looked so much like me,
they kind of believe but “where is Vicky ” they asked Me and I told them I didn’t know because I didn’t..
School was boring and toture because ever keeps calling me Vicky,, as the bell strike it was closing, everyone stood up paking their backpacks, I took my bag and moved my gaze at the door, then in slow motion Caleb walked in, in my former school uniform looking good
As he got in the clas-s went chaos, everyone started screaming..
