While I Breathe I Hope

The beginning to the end

Have you ever realized in your life that the worst thing that ever happened to you is knowing you want something even though you can never have it?

Well, now I know that I am one of those unlucky human that got rubbed off with this realization on the face. I fell in love and it might sound cliche but with my childhood friend and the worst thing is that he loves someone else who is prettier than me, richer than me, sexier than me, very outgoing and an extrovert.

She's basically the perfect epitome of a goddess and I on the other hand is the complete opposite.I am Alondra Federico, twenty years old, pimples all over the face, thick round glasses that occasionally being pushed up on my nose, dry ash brown hair and everything that is imaginably opposite from the school queen, Ashanti McCullers.

I was raised in the country side of this beautiful commercialized country, and there I met Jake Salvatore. The love of my life. Her family owns a huge part of land where their winery business is located at. We basically grew up together and shared a very joyful memories of our childhood days. We sometimes sneak together during noon making sure that every worker was having their lunch break before trotting like a sneaky puppies to pick up grapes from the plantation and munching it together.

It was fun.

I hope he never left.

When we hit our teenage years his family decided to send him into their mansion in the city to let him "prepare" as they called it, he is the only heir so he needs to learn ways how to run their business. It was sad, I never saw him teared up as he was always the one puffing up his chest and act like the man that he is.

Good thing that my parents who worked under his mom and dad bought me a phone for my thirteenth birthday in case there is an emergency. On the first month it was fun receiving calls and texts from him, I was very happy because even at young age I can feel the positive signal that he will be my forever until as time passes by he gradually stopped communicating with me. It made me cry while sending him a lot of texts and never received anything back.

After a couple of years my parents decided to send me to the city saying I deserve to have a better education and that's what they actually did.

I would never imagined that it will be at Jake's house, apparently my parents and his agreed to let me stay and work for them in exchange of them providing a roof over my head, food to eat and the money I need for my education.

It was very depressing at first but when I saw a glimpse of Jake, it made my world light up but everything crumbles on my feet when he didn't even recognized me. I know that puberty didn't agree on my side but he didn't have to rub it on my face.

I decided to take business administration, I am very ecstatic to go to my first class since it's my first day in the university but at the same time I was nervous.

When I stepped in I was met by the gods and goddesses themselves.

The university was very well known all over the world and I should've expected this. I can see their hateful eyes and from there I know that my days here will going to be hell.I hope I just went to another school, but this is my opportunity to give my mom and dad a better life so I sucked it up and try not to loose hope.

My books were being stomped off, my face was covered by the hood of my jacket as everyone laughs at me for being the "ugliest person here on earth" as what they referred me as.

It was hard when I saw Jake just looped his arm around Ashanti as his girl painted my locker with different abstract painting.

I am very nervous when Jake's parents called me in their office and as I opened the door I saw Jake was sitting on the black leather couch and it turns out our parents wanted us to marry each other because that is his father Mr. Salvatore's last wish before he undergo chemotherapy.
