Jamaal Amir Haidar
My dad travelled this morning, I was fully relieved and at peace when he left. I was able to convince my guard to wait in the car till school was over, I was very sure he would have gone somewhere to enjoy himself.
I and the guys were outside, in the school's compound, talking about yesterday's game and the party. I haven't been able to set my eyes on Olivia, I was proud she wore my jersey yesterday. It made me feel proud and excited.
Olivia was beginning to rub of on me, I liked her, I liked itchy fingers as well. Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine they were the same person, but I know that is not possible. How I wish it was. The more time I spend with both of them, the more I wanted them.
I have been thinking about my future for days, I haven't been able to discover what I wanted. My dad would have wanted me to go to college and
Olivia Keller I have never felt used in my life, but today I felt used, abandoned and betrayed. Thinking about what happened in school makes me feel dizzy. I chastised myself. I could deal with this. My mum has been trying to make me talk to her, but I just couldn't tell her what happened in school today. There was a probability she might want us to continue last night's discussion. My eyes were all red and teary, I hate Jamaal, I hate mystery man. I hate them both for making me feel this way. I felt heartbroken and tired. No matter how hard I tried to distract myself, it just wasn't working. I heard a knock on the floor, then the opened and my mum stepped in. I should have locked that door. "Olivia, are you okay?" She asked, tears immediately pooled down my face, I didn't bother to wipe them. "Oh baby, are you hurt somew
Detective Keller (Olivia's mum) I knew I have seen that face somewhere the first time I caught him in the room with my daughter. He looked so much like him, his father and I bet he was exactly like him, the familiarity was of a high level. It was like I was looking at Amir, he is a carbon copy of his father. I won't let him ruin the life of my daughter like his father ruined mine. Why is all this happening all of a sudden, I thought this secrets would be buried forever, Olivia must not find out, I must make sure she stays away from him. I inhaled a deep breath, I knew I over reacted. But hopefully, Olivia won't notice. I pulled at my hair and I felt like screaming, my life has always been a mess, every time it seems like the mess was clearing away it becomes more messy. I was scared, the buried secrets were back to hunt me and ma
Olivia Keller I pulled my hoodie over my head as I stepped into the school. School was back to being the only pain in my ass. The gossips still resumed, everyone was still talking about me. I noticed I was being mocked, this will surely go on for weeks before it dies down. I walked into the locker room, Jamaal was standing close to my locker. His gaze locked with mine, I stared at him intently. His hair has been cut short. I rolled my eyes. He didn't take his eyes off me, the few people in the locker room kept stealing glances at us. I stepped back gently, and walked out of the room in a rush. Setting my eyes on him made me feel used. I was going to make him pay for everything he did to me. I came across Ayesha and Azeez immediately I stepped out of the locker room, they both seem to be in argumen
Drew Rivers I heard them, can't believe Olivia was skipping school. I watched them take their leave. She has new friends now, I was hoping to take her to our secret spot to spend the rest of the day. I inhaled a deep breath and began to walk towards the class like the cautious centipede. I badly want to break up with Javier but I don't know how, what if it he doesn't take it well. I turned around to stare at the direction Olivia and her friends pass through. Someone else was there standing there. Imogen Adams, I couldn't think of a reason she was standing there, only if she was stalking someone. I'm quite sure she can't stalk Olivia, wait a moment. Is it Azeez, I know they both had a drama played out few weeks ago. I was shocked the great queen Imogen Adams couldn't find the right comeback for Azeez. Our eyes met an
Olivia Keller I was home alone tonight, mum and detective Arnold had something to do at work. Mum was actually scared to leave me alone at home but I had to convince her I was going to be fine. I haven't chatted with mystery man for two weeks, it has been almost a month since we last chatted. I felt kind of proud of myself, I was getting unattached already. The most annoying part of this was that he was always online, yet he didn't even bother chatting me up or reply my last message. I still feel slightly bothered about it, I asked him if he loved the one he hurted, which was still me. The Olivia he hurted. I have been posting on the GoodNovel Face-book group chat. But that didn't seem to bother him, he reacts on other posts but ignores mine. It was late in the night and he was still online. I decided to chat him up. Me: You are always online, don't you ever sleep? I b
Jamaal Amir Haidar Everyone's eyes were on me as I stepped into the locker room, I went straight to the direction of my locker, ignoring the looks I got. Ayesha my cousin was already leaning on the locker next to mine. She has also ignored me for weeks, believing I was the one who sent the videos to the class group chat. "What do you want?" I asked, opening my locker. "That is rude! A greeting would have been more better." She replied. "I have no time to waist here, Ayesha. Just spill whatever you came here for." I said, putting in the textbooks I will be needing into my locker. "You should try to talk to Olivia," she whispered. I knew whatever she was going to say was going to have something to do with Olivia, seems like they are best friends now. "Don't you t
Olivia Keller "Olivia sweetie," I heard the tiny voice of Ayesha draw behind me as I stepped out of Calculus class. That voice was one I could recognize anywhere. Turning around gently, I saw her walking towards me with a slow stride, smiling brightly. I saw her this morning at the park with Jamaal they both seemed to be in a serious conversation. She paused right in front of me and hooked her arms around my neck. "Want to grab some lunch with me? Calculus class already drained my energy." She said, kissing her teeth. We both walked through the hallways arms wrapped around each other's gaze. "What the heck is going on there?" She suddenly yelled, I looked straight to see Jamaal pummeling Karl's face. I gasped loudly. "Oh my goodness, we need to stop the
Olivia Keller I stepped into the sitting room with my notebook and pen. Mum and Detective Arnold were cuddled on the three seater sofa in the sitting room, watching a movie. "Mum! You two are too old for this, you should both be watching something romantic. Seriously Luca?" I teased. Detective Arnold chuckled loudly. "Your mum insisted on watching it, I had no choice to agree." He replied, still chuckling. "I'm actually enjoying," mum said smiling at me, while she playfully slapped detective Arnold's chest. I cleared my throat loudly, trying to get their attention. They both focused on me and I gave them a bright smile. "Is there something you want daughter of mine?" Mum asked, sitting up. "Or is there something you want to say?" Detective Arnold added, shrugging his
Drew RiversThe whole school found out what happened to Olivia and Jamaal. None of us ever imagined they were siblings. I felt so bad for Olivia, she was in love with Jamaal but everything just ended abruptly. "Are you missing Olivia?" Vicenzo asked."Yes, I do. She was the best friend I never had.""But you should be happy for her, you know things might be worst for her if she comes back into this school, I'm glad she is leaving the country. That is the best thing for her, at moment. I hope she heals completely of this traumas." He whispered, caressing my cheeks."Do you know, she losed the pregnancy? I feel really bad for her. I muttered under my breath." "Don't, I think it is best for her.""Now, I'm scared of sex. I don't
Olivia Keller My head was banging seriously, I tried to pry my heavy eyes open. I succeded in opening my eyes. I couldn't recognize where I was, I could only see woods and planks piled up everywhere. This place seems like a carpenter's workshop. I tried to talk but my mouth was covered with a tape. I realised my hands were tied behind me, my buttocks hurt from sitting on the wooden chair I was. So, it wasn't a dream. I was actually kidnapped. I wonder how many days I have been here, it feels like ages. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming closer, two people walked into the workshop, one was a male and the other was a female. They both looked somehow familiar to me, I'm sure I have seen them somewhere before. They both walked closer to me, I realized they were teenagers like me, they both came into view. I was shocked to my toes. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. The tape was o
Olivia Keller I was very far from home and it was already getting dark. I felt restless, a pregnant teenager walking down the streets late at night. This part of the street was getting dark and cold. I have been in a stupor since I found out about my pregnancy. My mind was blank. I already made up my mind not to go back home, I had nowhere to go. My cell phone suddenly began to ring, I picked it up immediately, I totally forgot I had my phone with me. Jamaal was boldly on the screen. "Hello Jamaal." I said into the phone. "Hi, Olivia. Are you okay. Your voice seems cracked, have you been crying?" He asked in a rush. I kept mute, I couldn't bring myself to tell him I have been crying. "Olivia, why are you quiet?" He asked. "Did you get the test
Olivia Keller I was able to bring in the pregnancy test kits without them knowing I hid something underneath my skirt. The lady who sold it for me didn't give me a weird look as I expected, she must have gotten used to teenagers coming over to buy the kits. I held on to the bag of chocolates as I passed through the living room to my room. I could feel mum's stare behind me. It was time to get this done and over with, I can't be pregnant at this moment. I turned the key, making sure I locked the door. The last thing I want was for my mum to come in while doing the test. I pulled out the test kits, I bought just three, and I am going to use the three. I went into the bathroom quietly. I sat on the toilet lid, holding the test kits in my hands. I was damn scared, the previous discussions my mum had with me kept replaying in my mind. I promis
Jamaal Amir Haidar Dinner was unusually quite, normally we don't leave by the rules don't talk while you are eating. Immediately we were all done, mum cleared her throat loudly. I think she heard our discussions when we were in my room. Azeez was a bit too loud. Ayesha tried to reassure me she didn't hear anything. But I knew my mum better than them. She rarely knocks but this time around she knocked. "Azeez and Ayesha, you will both be going back to your parents tomorrow morning." My mum said, breaking the silence. "Aunty Nabila," Ayesha whispered sadly. I felt bad for her, this place was the only place she could be free, even if it is not for long. Going back to her parents was like going back to a prison after so many years of freedom. "Mum, but they are supposed to stay with us till they graduate from H
Jamaal Amir Haidar "Is there something bothering you?" Ayesha asked. She was the only one I told about going to see Olivia. She came into my room immediately she found out I was back. "Have you found out from your dad?" I asked. She just realized she was betrothed to Liam few weeks ago. "I don't want to talk about it," she whispered. "Were you able to see Olivia?" She asked. "Is she okay?" She asked again. "Ayesha, you won't believe this." I whispered, raking my hands over my head. The door of my room opened and Azeez stepped in. His face was cloudy, he looked worried. He sat on my bed with a thud. "I think Imogen
Olivia Keller The rays of sunlight coming from the opened window shined on my face. I yawned loudly, stretching my arms lazily. I looked around, even though I wake up late on Saturdays, I still hear the chirpings of the morning birds no matter what, but this morning was different. What happened to those birds, did they go on strike. I massaged my temple, why does my head feel heavy. I pushed my duvet away from my body, putting my legs on the floor. I flinched immediately the cold seeped into my feets. I grabbed my laptop from my lamp table and charged it. I need to get some writing done. I picked up my cellphone to check the time. "One am," I muttered under my breath, I can't believe I slept this late. I spent last night drafting the hate to love relationship of my mum and Detective Arnold into my plot. Writing, that has been the only one thing that has been keeping my
Olivia Keller I felt so sore and tender, my thighs were burning. It was hard for me to walk properly. I can't believe I let this happen. I didn't let him speak to me, the drive back to my house was a quiet one. I suddenly felt a great irritation for him. Thanks to him I just ruined my promise to my mum. Detective Arnold's car was parked at the small space we used for garage. I knew my mum was at home then. I couldn't limp inside this way with out her asking what happened. I forced my thighs closed, it hurts a lot but I held on. I just have to endure the pain till I got to my room. Mum and detective Arnold were both on the three seater couch, cuddling as usual. "Hey baby." Mum called, sitting up immediately. I smiled at her and went up to my room. I locked my door immediately. I tried to wrestle with the pain
Olivia Keller "I think I'm in love with you." His confession kept echoing in my head repeatedly. "Are you not going to say it back?" He asked, moving towards me. He sat next to me till our shoulders brushed each other. "And, why should I say it back?" I asked, smiling. "Or should I get it out of you. I have ways of getting it out of you." He replied. "Ways like what," I teased, licking my lips. I turned my face to his, he was already looking at me, his gaze shifted to my lips. "Can I kiss you?" He suddenly asked out of the blues. "If you want to." I replied. "I love you Olivia," he said, looking at me like I was the most important thing that has ever happened in his life.
