Novel-novel oleh Still Iv

I had arrived at the coffee shop so I could catch up on my reading before I had to get ready to head to the gym. It was a Richard Wright novel called "Native son" and my older sister had recommended it and I had to admit that I was enjoying it so far. I was at the point of the story where the main character whose name was Bigger had been hired by a white, wealthy family when I looked up to see the guy from the night before. He looked a lot happier than when I last saw him. I smiled and waved and was glad when he waved back. He was so adorable and I found myself wanting to just hold him. I could tell that his pals were teasing him about it. Even if I had not been a huge fan of it, I knew that my position on the wrestling team made me popular and the fact that I inherited my mother's good looks added to it. It was easy for me to get a lot of attention but the only person that I wanted any attention from was the grumpy cutie that refused to tell me his name. I was still looking i

"Nico isn't going to let us live this one down" I said as Rita ran up to me. We were supposed to meet with Nico at one of our favorite spots at school which was basically a fancy coffee shop a few blocks away from the main library. I had been with him but had to leave with his car so I could come pick Rita up. She was supposed to be writing a test and had texted to say that she would be done in a few minutes but alas it had been way more than a few minutes. "I am so sorry," she said as she approached me panting, "How long have you been waiting for?" "Long enough to get two calls and three text messages from Nico" I replied as she hugged me. She smelled like strawberries which was good. Nico always loved when she smelt like fruit; one sniff and all his annoyance will be out the window in an instant. "Oh my poor baby," She sighed, "Has it really been that long?" "I mean, I've been waiting for a good thirty minutes," I replied, "Was the test really that tough?" "Yeah and Malco

I came downstairs after finishing up my morning routine to meet Marilyn setting up the table for breakfast. She flashed me one of her usual welcoming smiles as soon as she saw me.I smiled back at her as well but only faintly. For the past two days I had been battling with a migraine that wouldn't go away."Good morning, Mr walker," she greeted as I neared her, "Did you sleep well sir?"I nodded and sat down. "I did my best. What about you Marilyn?" I asked, "Did you get yourself some sleep or were you up all night knitting again?"She chuckled and handed me a cup of coffee."An old woman like me can't really afford to stay up all night like you young folks you know. I wouldn't be able to be up and about to help take care of you"I smiled at her as she sat in front of me, her cup of coffee in her hand."You don't really have to take care of me at the expense of your knitting, Marilyn""Oh, but I do, Mr Walker. At least until you find yourself a proper young woman to do so in my stead"

"Alex? Are you okay?"Rita's gentle touch and voice drew me out of my thoughts and I turned to face her and Nico. They both had worried expressions on their faces.We were sitting on the manicured grass of one of the campus gardens. It was 5pm and we had nothing better to do and decided to hang around talking about everything and nothing.I was certain that I had been actively taking part in the conversation but apparently, I had zoned out. It was hard to focus on a lot of things these days.My emotions were running haywire since the conversation that I had with Tristan a few days ago. I was sad and angry and struggling to not let their decisions define my self worth."Yeah, I'm okay" I lied."Hey, man, are you sure?" Nico asked, "You've been a little out of it for a minute now""And by a minute, he means a couple of days now" Rita added."Yeah" Nico said."Guys," I chuckled, "I'm fine, I swear"I tried my best to sound as convincing as possible but they didn't seem too convinced. Th

I was having Tristan's class today and it did not help that Nico chose that day to stay in with Rita and skip it. In other words that meant that I was on my own today. I tried not to appear too nervous as I made my way to the hall. It was getting harder and harder to act like I was not overwhelmed with the idea of being under my professor one more time. I shook my head as thoughts of the night that we met came crawling back. It was getting increasingly harder to curb them. The sound of his moans and the dirty words that he whispered in my ear haunted my dreams.It was even getting harder and harder to focus on the memory of Julius and I. Professor Tristan's existence made it seem like my ex boyfriend was nothing but a lucid dream. It made me frustrated and confused. This man had broken the heart of my friend's sister.He was off limits and he had to stay that way. The hard part now was to convince my mind and body to keep that rule. As I neared the entrance of the hall I sa

I lay on the bed of my dorm room tossing a baseball in the air and catching it. Alex was busy studying for the upcoming mid terms and I watched him.I was glad that he was starting to feel better after his split from Julius. I was there when it had happened and all I can say is that Julius was a piece of shit.Alex was a good kid. It really didn’t matter if he didn’t come from an affluent background like the rest of us, he was a smart and great person.However, I could not shake the feeling that something was different about him. Ever since he returned from the party, he had been acting little odd.It wasn’t exactly noticeable but the fact that I spend more time with him made me notice the changes.I considered asking him if his one night stand had something to do with it or maybe it was a side effect of the breakup.“Dude, you know that I can feel you staring at me right?” Alex asked without looking up from his notebook.“Sorry about that” I apologized.“It’s fine. I know you have a
