A Burning Rejection

CASSANDRA

~~~~~~~

To begin, I was never an attractive fellow, I was never your 'hot' or 'wild' type.

I was just Cassandra Thorne, with brown eyes and brown hair locks, twenty one by August, weighs twenty seven kilograms, height is 5'4 ft.

Yeah, that's the plain me.

I was raised in a very conserved home, my dad died when I was still tender, having my mom and Nana lecture me on good morals and characters to enable me be accepted by good people and, God.

I had finished my bachelor in Business administration few months ago, and believed with the help of a scholarship, I'll apply for graduate studies. But with my bashful and introverted lifestyle I hoped to teach in a reputable university.

I had alot planned out.

should I call it alot?

just some heres and theres would be perfect for me, no?

I would further my graduate studies and expand my knowledge while working in a good university.

Oh and....... One way or another come across a good professor just like me who shares the same love value and reputation as me. He'd be a believer of love, we'd fall slowly and deeply in love, and eventually marry, start our own family.

Ha ha, fairy tale right?

So here's the twist.

There will be no more fairy tale.

There will be no more reputable value.

There will be no more freaking fantasy.

You know why?

Because this girl of twenty one took a decision today.

One that swept my fantasy to the trash.

One that threw my fairy tale to the drain.

You know fate has its way of slapping you right in the face, and it gave me not just any slap but one that awake me from my fantasy.

One good thing about the slap was, a new me came forth, and a new decision too.

Tears flowed out my eyes as I recalled today's.............. Mind-blowing event.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Music was my life.

Music and poetry.

And every other simple girly aesthetics, Just like I earlier said, Living a simple Life.

My Thirteen year old sister, Diane was still in school and everything seemed perfect as I was so lost In my Dreamworld of love when I heard a crashing sound from downstairs.

*Thud*

" Stella, you are not serious....Are you?"

I rushed out at my Nana's heartbreaking voice.

" Mom stop acting like this, you've been keeping me for too long now because of them." My mom's voice rang out.

Them? who was my mom talking about.

I stepped in only to find my Nana sobbing," Stella, Diane is too young for this, she is just Thirteen."

What the....

" Mom am leaving and it's final! look at me! I need a life too...... Am too young to shoulder all these."

Was mom........Leaving?

" You have me my child, you have been taking care of them so you shouldn't stop now, and not because of him!"

Him.

What was going on!

" Mum leave Abel out of this! He has nothing to do with this! This is all my decision and it's final." My mom took my Nana's hands and continued, " Mom I'm hurt too....... I don't want to leave but I have to..... it has been years since he left... years since he died...."

My mom was chocking on her words.... she was referring to my..... Dad?

" What about Diane? What about Cassandra? Don't you think of them?" My Nana's voice broke down into a consecutive sobs.
