? PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE ?
Cora sighs and said.
“And who the heck are we waiting for”.
“Your LOOK ALIKE”. Emily answers.
“And what for mom, she should be thrown out of this school, since she is not your daughter”.
“Cora do you even have a consience, that girl knows nothing about herself, and you Want her out of this school”.
“And does it look like I care, I don’t care if she is wanders around the streets!!”. Cora yells and flings her long hair to the back.
“Cora is right Emily, we shouldn’t care less about her”. Nadily said.
“Thanks Aunt Nadily”. Cora said and looks at her mom angrily.
Soon Leah enters the office, and Cora looks at her so deadly, if eyes could kill, Leah will be dead by now.
“Come and sit with me”. Emily said to her.
Leah nods her head, and sits beside Emily, and Leah couldn’t feel Cora’s hateful look on her, but she didn’t dare look at her.
“So now that the fake Cora is here, what do you suggest we do”. Mr Jung asked.
“Is simple, she shouldn’t ever show her face ever again in this school”. Cora said.
“I agree to that Mr Jung”. Nadily added.
And Leah felt like crying, here was the mother of the boy she likes so much supporting Cora for her to be kicked out of school, and she tried so much not to let her tears fall.
“No I won’t allow that Nadily, she can’t be kicked out of school just like that, she didn’t do anything wrong”.
“But she is not Cora anymore, so she should be kicked out, or better still I have an idea”.
“Which is”.
“Let the students decide whether she stays or leaves, every students here in Genie high, is going to vote wheather she should go or stay, and for all we know the entire students fears Cora, so she is Definitely going to be voted out of school”.
Cora smiles and said.
“I like your idea Aunt Nadily, since my so called mom doesn’t want to do it quietly, then we will have to do it noisly.”
“So tell me Emily are you in or out, if the students votes for her to remain in school then she will, but if that don’t, she will leave right away”.
Emily look at Leah who was trying so hard to fight her tears, and back to Nadily.
“Am in”.
And Cora smirks.
BUT NOT MY TWIN : CHAPTER 21 – 30
The news about the students voting wheather Leah remains in Genie high or not spread like wild fire around the school.
The two students were giving ballots boxes, and why the voting was going, both Cora, Emiy, Nadily and Leah were not present.
Ryan didn’t hesitate to vote for Leah to remain in Genie high.
Clark also voted for Leah to remain in school, since she has been a wonderful friend to him, this pass few months.
Cassie looks at the two ballots boxes in front of her, and because Ryan was looking at her, she had no choice but to vote for Leah to remain in school.
Audrey voted for Leah to be out of Genie high, even if she was nice to her, her leaving the school will pave way for Cora to be with Ryan, and she could have a chance to be with Clark.
Arianna and Rooney didn’t hesitate to vote for Leah to remain in school.
Dahlia and the rest of the students in their class voted for Leah to remain in school, even Keith also voted for her to remain in school.
It was only the students who were so scared of what Cora might to do them, that voted her out.
Soon the voting came to an end, and the teachers took the ballot boxes to check on it.
Few minutes later, Leah, Emily Nadily and Cora were called inside the hall.
Cora was wearing a smirking face, while Leah’s face was filled with nothing but fear.
*If students vote her out, where was she going to start from*. She thought inwardly.
“The votes of the students have been counted, and is a number of 550 and 230 votes”. A teacher said.
Cora smirks and looks at Leah.
“You are going to be kicked out Amnesia girl”.
Leah didn’t say a word, but her heart beat could clearly be heard.
Emily had no doubt that Leah was going to remain in Genie high.
“550 students voted for the fake Cora to remain in school, and the remaining 230 students voted her out, which means that, the fake Cora will continue studying in Genie high”. The teacher said.
And the entire students jumps for joy, and where all shouting that they really loved Leah, Leah couldn’t stop herself from crying,, Emily was so happy, and as for Cora, she storms out of the hall angrily.
BUT NOT MY TWIN : CHAPTER 21 – 30
“Am so happy you are going to remain here, my big sis won’t leave Genie high”. Arianna said smiling.
Leah looks at her and smiles and then to Emily.
“Thanks alot mo,,,,ma Emily, for supporting to stay in school, thank you so much”
Emily caress her cheeks smiling.
“Why are you calling ma Emily, you can’t call me mom anymore”
“Because am not Cora, and you aren’t my mom”.
“I don’t have to give birth to you, before I can be a mom to you, and I have grown so fun of you this past Two months”.
“Am sorry, if you thought I was Cora all this while, I guess that why Cora is so mad at me”.
Emily looks at her, and she couldn’t bring herself to tell Leah that she knew all along that she wasn’t Cora.
She just let out a smile and said.
“Don’t feel sorry, if you hadn’t had Amnesia, you would have known who you are”.
“Do you by chance know anything about me”.
“No I don’t, the moment I thought you were Cora, I took you back to Seoul immediately”.
And Leah nods her head looking sad.
Emily looks at her feeling so guilty, of course, she knew Leah’s background, she knows about the mother superior who wants her to become a Nun, and also her Best friend Mina, but she can’t tell her, because she didn’t want Leah to go back to Daegu.
“But don’t worry, am here for you always, and am going to make sure you continue schooling here”.
Leah looks at her and smiles.
“Thank you Ma Emily”.
“You should call me mom, like you have always done before okay”.
And Leah nods with a smile.
Emily smiles too.
“How about I give you another name, you know is always the duty of a mom to name their child right”.
And Leah laughs lightly.
“Leah, I Will call you Leah”. Emily said.
And the moment Emily said that name, Leah felt it was so familiar.
And she could hear various of people calling that name, she held her head, and was about to fall, but Arianna was quick to hold her.
“Are you okay” She asked looking worried.
And Emily looks at her, hoping she hasn’t regain her memories, and she wished she hasn’t called out her real name.
“Yes am fine, is just that the name Leah sounds so familiar, it feels like it has always been my name”.
“Do you remember anything”. Emily asked anxiously.
And Leah shakes her head, and Emily secretly let out a relief.
“Maybe someone who is related to me bears that name, that why, it sounds so familiar”. Leah muttered.
“That right Leah, and you shouldn’t force yourself to remember who that person is okay”. Emily said.
And Leah nods.
“Mom, finally gave you a name, Leah,,it fits you so well”. Arianna said smiling holding Leah’s hand.
And Leah nods with a smile” .
“I love you so much Leah”. Emily said with a smile.
“And I love you too Mom, thanks alot for accepting me, even am not your daughter”. Leah said as tears falls down her eyes.
Emily cleans her tears, and hugs her.
“You are my daughter Leah, so stop saying you are not, I love you alot”. Emily said patting her.
Arianna looks at her and smiles.
As for Cora she was in a corner hearing everything her mom was saying to Leah.
Tears Falls down her eyes, she turns to walk away but bumped into Clark.
“Cora”.
“Just get lost Clark”. She said between tears and Clark was shocked to see her crying.
“What wrong Cora, why are you crying”. He asked looking worried.
“Is non of your business!!!”. She yells.
Cora cleans her tears and runs off, and Clark had no choice but to run after her.
“Cora wait”. He said and held her hand the moment he caught up with her.
“Let go off me, are you nut, let me go!!!”. She yells in tears.
And Clark was so shocked to see her crying, this was the first time he has seen her crying, because the Cora he knew was always wearing an angry face.
“What going on Cora, why you crying”.
“You Wanna know so badly, fine!!, Am going to tell you, is because of my mom!!!”. She yells in tears.
“Her real daughter just came out of coma, and who she care about is that LOOK ALIKE of mine,,,I was in coma for two months, but she didn’t even ask me if I have recovered or if am still recovering from the accident that almost killed me!!!!”
“she said she loves her so much, but not once has she ever told me she loved me,,the only person who ever care about me was my dad, but he is no more, she is the reason why I became this way, because not once has she ever shown me a motherly love, I thought maybe because she was always so busy with work, that why she had no time for me, but then when my dad died, she got married again, and she showed that Arianna so much love, a love she never showed me, is not always about buying me the best things, I wanted her to love me, but she couldn’t, she gave all her attention to Arianna, and I was left alone, and now she is giving all her love to that LOOK ALIKE of mine, leaving me behind, I hate them, I hate all of them!!!!”. Cora yells in tears crying.
Clark cleans the tears in his eyes, and pulls her into a hug.
And surprisly enough, Cora hugs him back.
“Why can’t she love me Clark, am I that difficult to love, Because I couldn’t get the love I wanted from her, I faced it out on everyone, I became the devil’s advocate and a jezebel, my mom doesn’t love me, Ryan doesn’t love me, no one loves me Clark, am I that difficult to love, why can’t they just love me, why can’t my own mom love me the way she loves Arianna and That LOOK ALIKE of mine, am I that difficult to love Clark”. Cora said crying in his shoulder.
“No cora, you aren’t”.
“Then why can’t my own mom love me, why does she keep chosing others over me”. Cora asked crying.
And Clark continues to pat her, fighting back his own tears, seeing the girl he loves so much crying, breaks his heart into pieces, he never knew this was what the arrogant Cora was bearing all this while, this was the real Cora, behind her rudeness. Clark thought inwardly as he continues patting the crying Cora.
