Highschool Sweetheart by Gloria Samuel

It was a frenzied dawning, I woke up and slowly opened my eyes staring up at the ceiling. I stretched my arms lazily and I did not feel like springing up from the bed but my tummy was aching, I had just a slice of pizza last night.I would have had a whole pizza but my six-year-old brother John, ate the biggest slice from my plate since I waited to finish doing my assignment before I'll eat. I'm actually used to him taking from my food. There were some sandwiches, and burritos left in the fridge but I did not have an8 appetite for any of it except for pizza.I complained to my mum Juliet, and to my dad Dickson, but they did not take my complaint seriously.My mum said, "oh let it be, he's just six, don't be a baby."I felt insulted, "what? I'm a baby?"And then I thought, maybe I'm actually being a baby since it's just a pizza. But it's not just nothing to me. I love having pizza, I wish they considered how I feel.Anyways, I gave up. Fighting with my baby brother would seem childish

I was quite shocked, and I thought, "me? I'm gonna be in Jake's band? We're gonna be singing next to each other. Oh, me and my crush."My cheeks blushed and I shyly bowed my head, "I don't know what to say.""You don't have to think about it. Just say yes. You've got a beautiful voice, you're all I need."Mandy angrily started to us, and Mckayla followed."Are you gonna pick this dumb pooped face to be in the Jackson Fellas over me?" Mandy barked."Yea, I think she'll be a great profit to the band."Mandy was suffocated with shock, and was getting short of breath, "but um... You just met this loser today and we... I and Mckayla have known you since a long time.""Yea, I'd pick either of you but Trina is the singer Jackson Fellas need. I'm sorry but I pick Trina."Mandy felt bittered, she stared into his eyes boiling in fury and she turned her gaze to me. I could see the rage in her eyes, I got nervous like she was going to push me in front of a train, and I stared at the floor to avoi

I randomly picked up a pair of blue jeans and I wore an orange blouse which was an old dress. I was hastily dressing up that I did not remember that the blouse was shabby.I roughly combed my hair and painted my lips with a colourless lipgloss. I slipped my feet into a pair of black low heels and grabbed my handbag from my bed.I was almost stepping out of the room when Juliet stepped in. "Dear are you all set to leave?""Yea mum. I wouldn't want to keep Jake waiting."She felt quite irritated by the dress and before she could speak, I had fled from the room to the living room. I was quite surprised not to see Jake and I panicked thinking that he was probably bored and left.To be sure, I peeked through the curtains and I spotted him standing outside the gate besides his blue SUV. He was wearing a blue shirt, and a pair of blue jeans and a pair of flashy spectacles sat on his face. I couldn't help but stare him then it dawned on me that we have a band we have to attend and I hurried o

It was quite a hot Friday afternoon in Maxwell university. I was carrying quite a large tray with a few snacks like, donuts, Cheese fries and a bottle of soda on it approaching a bench in the middle of the cafeteria.The cafeteria was quite packed with several students, there was humming in the air, and when I looked at the rows of seats, each persons on each row seemed to be chatting with each other and I felt quite bad that I was the only one without friends, or among a squad.Anyways, I was friends with Myles my course mate. We always hung out at the school library and he'd talk about his kitten, Dora. She has a white fur, and cute pair of brown eyes. She felt warm and soft when I held her in my arms in his apartment.I ended our friendship ever since he laughed at my swollen face with the others at class.Who would mock a friend or join the crowd and laugh along with them? I was starting to miss Myles's company staring at everyone gisting and catching fun with their friends.My he

It was 2pm that same day. The weather was quite hot. Jake and I arrived at his dad's resort. We stepped out of his car parked in the parking lot and walked inside the resort.I heard many cars driving by. As we walked into the resort I noticed that there was a lot people and I could hear many people talking at once.I glanced at a cafeteria and noticed waiters carrying plates of meals and bottles of drink serving the people in the cafeteria. Most of all the customers were dressed in beach wears.I can taste the not very fresh air because there has been many people walking through here. The resort is called Paradise lodge. It is an enormous resort.I grinned from ear to ear as we walked. Jake clenched my hand."It's beautiful." I said energetically. My eyes lit up in joy.He turned to me, stroked my cheek and looked into my eyes, "no you're the one beautiful."I speechlessly stared into his eyes and blinked twice."Let's go to the cafeteria, " he dramatically rubbed his tummy, "I'm sta
