Chapter 23: Green Pair Of Eyes
Chapter 23: Green Pair Of Eyes
David’s P.O.V.
“Okay then, it's fine with me… but let me clear things up, Helena. I want you to know that I'm not a
perverted type of guy. I’m not a maniac! And if that's what you think of me, then it was all because of
you. I hated to admit but what happened to us was my first kiss, and if for you, it was an accident… well
for me, it was an experience.” I said with conviction while my heart was beating freaking faster. It was
so loud as if it wanted to come out.
She stayed at the door for a few more minutes, but she never glanced at me again. She never looked
back. She inconsiderately left me after taking a deep breath.
I held my chest. My heart was still pounding so fast. It made me feel confused. I never thought of
having the nerve to say those words. I left the classroom and my mind was still preoccupied. I got even
more bewildered after Helena and I talked.
To divert my thoughts, I decided to go to the Computer Room and started my research about the
Annual Camp strategies and methods that we could use for our proposal. Since senior students always
lead, it would be my first time to handle this school year’s annual project.
This would be such great exposure for me being a valedictorian candidate. I should not disappoint Mrs.
Cheng and the whole school admin. I should not fail them.
After I got all the important Annual Camp information and tactics as references, I didn’t yet turn off the
computer. Because we could open our social media accounts here during break periods, I opened my
Famebook.
My younger sibling, Denise, tagged me again on her cute selfie with a private message telling me to
give the photo a heart reaction. I immediately complied because I couldn’t say ‘no’ to my twelve-year-
old sister. She was so sweet, bubbly, and cheerful. How I wished that she would never grow up and just
stay that way forever.
Then, I was tempted to look for Helena’s Famebook account. I typed Helena Mari Delgado on the
search engine and after I clicked the enter key, I found two profiles. The first one joined four years ago
while the other one only joined last year.
I opened the one who joined four years ago and her last public status update was posted about
eighteen months ago…
Feeling happy. Traveling to Las Albas with Daddy and my twin.
Tagged: Athena Cari Delgado.
After that post, her timeline was filled with different ‘Get well soon!’ messages from her Famebook
friends. That was when curiosity struck my head so I decided to open the tagged Athena Cari
Delgado’s profile.
I couldn't see other public status updates aside from the ‘Rest in peace!’ posts from her friends on
Famebook. I checked again the joined-four-years-ago Helena’s profile and I compared her picture with
that of Athena.
They looked exactly the same! They were unquestionably identical twins with the same rosy-white skin,
charming face, sharp nose, thin lips, brown hair, and I guessed, also height… as well as the same
green pair of eyes. Although Helena was wearing her eyeglasses from all the photos, they did not
seem to have any difference at all. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a good thing that their profiles were not private. I found one picture of them where they were
wearing the same hairband, shades, jump shorts, as well as slippers… and you would never be able to
know who was who!
I then looked at the joined-one-year-ago Helena’s profile but she doesn’t have posts and her friends
would not even reach twenty. I was not a stalker at all, but I just didn’t know why it felt like there was
something I wanted to know… and why I had this feeling that something was wrong.
While copying and pasting all the three profile pictures using Photo Enhance software, I could say that
the two Helenas were undoubtedly the same woman. That was when I noticed Athena’s difference and
that made me frown. If I could see myself in the mirror, I was sure that my eyebrows were almost
knitting together while thinking about something I wasn’t sure if I already encountered before.
I didn’t know why but it was Athena's profile who really captured my attention. I browsed some of her
closed-up photos and I suddenly got stunned when…
Wait! Why does it seem—
I looked deeply at Athena’s eyes and I just didn't know why I suddenly felt goosebumps all over my
body! There was something in her that I couldn't set aside. I even blinked twice, because I couldn't be
wrong.
Those eyes… those green pair of eyes!
