"The pain in my poetry"
Once upon a time, there was a young lady who simply lived in Manila located in the Philippines. She is not agitated and is often seen alone in a corner holding a book or wearing headphones.
Her name is Yoka, her blonde hair is only shoulder length. She is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Takamura, her mother is Filipina and her father is Japanese. Because Yoka's parents have a big business, she often has only a maid with her when she's at home.
--- First day of school at Cherry Blossom Academy ---
"Good morning class, I am Mrs. China Cruz and I will be your class adviser. Class, please introduce yourselves" said Mrs. Cruz to Grade 10 students.
"Good morning classmates, I am Yoka Takamura, I am 15 years old. My hobbies are reading books, listening to music and writing poetry. My dream is to become a ... uhm, my dream is to .. is to .. . ".
Her classmates laughed at her.
"What is it that maybe Yoka has no dreams", Chelsea said.
"Hey, it's a pity", Zoey added. "Please take your seat, Yoka", replied Mrs. Cruz. "It's okay Yoka", the teacher added, at the same time Yoka sat down with her head down. When break time came, Yoka was alone at a table while she heard other classmates who seemed to be muttering while staring at her with raised eyebrows.
She took the headphones from her bag and immediately put them on her ear.
"Hello Yoka, can I take a seat here", said Calvin, a classmate of Yoka who is a famous varsity player at their school. "Ah, ah go ahead," Yoka stammered to Calvin. "Can we be friends?", Calvin said with a smile as he reached out his hand to shake Yoka's hand. "Ah, thank you! Yoka replied and smiled at him.
"Hehehe, you're so cute when you smile", Calvin said and they both laughed. Chelsea and Zoey approached Yoka's seat. "Hey Calvin, aren't you shy? Everyone's looking at you, you're with that freak girl", Zoey said. "Hahaha, she doesn't have a dream in life and she can't even say what her dream is", Chelsea added with a laugh.
"That's enough, you don't know", Yoka bravely replied to the two classmates. "Huh, What did you say?", Chelsea asked once touching it to Yoka's hair and pulling her upright from sitting.
"My dream is to have a complete family, is that what you want to hear?", Yoka said, "You can laugh as you can, let me go" she added while leaving. Chelsea was speechless at what she heard. Upon Yoka's departure a book fell from her bag.
Calvin chased after Yoka for help. Chelsea left and picked up a book titled “The Pain In My Poetry, Second Edition by Silent Pen”. --- "Second Edition?", Chelsea asked herself with astonishment. "Why does Yoka have a second edition of my favorite poetry book?". Until Chelsea found out that the author of the famous and favorite book of hers and the woman she hated were the same person. Since then, one book has changed everything.
*The End*
