“Have you ever tried to find out what was the source of your anger?” Night had fallen, and we still lay peacefully on the blankets, staring up at the stars. I prayed that it didn’t rain tonight, the waves crashing gently on the shore.
“Not really.” He replies.
I hated parties, really.As soon as we parked, I regretted agreeing to come in the first place.First of all, there were over 100 cars parked outside, just imagine the number of people that maybe there. Secondly, as soon as we entered through the back door, the scent of weed, alcohol, and sweat
“Samuel?” I open the bathroom door to find him gone. Wet and frantic, the area surrounding was completely empty, everyone now outside. I race towards the pool, and the crowd was so thick that I couldn’t see what was happening. The music had stopped, and all i heard were loud grunts and yelling.“He’s gonna kill him!” A female screams and I panic, roughly pushing through. I find Samuel and Jack throwing punches at each other, and of course, Jack was losing. His punches seemed precise enough,
S A M U E LI paced my room, back and forth running a hand through my hair. Loa declined my calls and then suddenly they weren’t going through, my texts were unanswered and I was seriously considering going back to her house.We weren’t even together so I don’t understand why I
It was a little before four, and I was panicking. I was fully dressed, but I was nervous as hell and I couldn’t stop sweating. It was really hard detangling my hair, as it was wet from last night, and shrunk pretty badly. I tried my bed to let my afro look presentable, laying my edges for effort. I didn’t have any make up, and to top it off, the sandals looked like the straps could break any second now.I sigh, and tilt my head at myself in the mirror. At least the dress looked good. The color complimented my skin,
“Oh.” I clear my throat standing, while his parents continue to stare at me in awe.“Uh, well . . . We’ll be right back.” I tell them.“She’s so beautiful.” I hear his mom say as we leave.
When we entered the house, we were holding hangs. It was a new feeling really, if this succeeded, Samuel would be my first boyfriend.His parents nearly fell through the door, and I realized they were watching us. I held in a laugh, as Samuel just pursed his lips at them.
I was grinning in my seat, and not even the fact that I was going home could dim my happiness.Ten minutes later and he’s parked outside. I open up my door, and move to leave until he pulls me back inside.“What is it?”
I fold my arms, sadly trudging behind Samuel as he unlocks the door to his house. I felt like I was intruding, just plopping into their lives without warning."My parents are most likely asleep, so you don't have to worry about them," Samuel says, and I nod. "Are you hungry?"I shake my head. It
“Loa? You’re up so early.” I jump slightly as I hear Victoria’s voice from the kitchen.“Oh, good morning,” I force out a nervous laugh, tugging at my hoodie.“What’re you up to? Is Samuel up?”“No, he’s not, I’m was planning to head out so I could visit one of my friend’s mother.”“Oh,” she sets down her coffee mug, grabbing her bag, “I’ll give you a lift.”“That’s not necessary, Ms. Victoria, I was just going to call an uber.”“Girl, it is fine. I have time to spare, Shane left without me this morning.”“Oh . . . okay, well if you insist.”She claps her hand happily, opening the door for me. She had a long black s
A/N: Hi guys! Readers from wattpad can you let me know that you came from there? And new readers from GoodNovel I'd love if you let me know that you guys are new also. I apologize for such a long wait, I was in the process of moving and got caught up but I promise that I'm planning to update a lot more now even as the book is almost done. This chapter isn't perfect and I personally don't like it but my others will be better so no worries. Thank you all for your patience. I apologize for any errors.Time had frozen as we sat in the car together, each vehicle passing by raising the tension. I tried to figure out who said it first, did he?Did . . . I ?"You don't have to say it back," he whispers in the crook of my neck, reassuring me that it was indeed him that said it, and not me.However it still didn't create any ideas of what to say in my head, so I hugged him tighter and silently urging him to be strong.We pull apart after a few minutes
After we had rested, we were now on the hunt for the boy's suits, but before we could reach the stores, Duncan, Macy, Jack and Danielle walk into the mall.Danielle looked terrible.She had a bruise under her eye and had on a long sleeve shirt. For the first time, she wasn't in anything short but had on some baggy jeans.Duncan upon noticing us smirked.He began approaching, and as of result, we halted."HeySammy,"His voice was like chalk scraping against a blackboard."What the fuck do you want Duncan?"My eyes find Jack's and he looked just as terrible also. He had a cast on, his lips bruised and one of his eyes swollen. Yet i still couldn't miss the desperate look on his face. It was almost as if he was pleading for something.I looked away."Why so hosi-" In a second, Samuel had Duncan's throat in his palms.My eyes bulge as I remember what he said the other night.I
Everyone walked together as we moved through the halls in the malls.As expected, it was crowded.Classmates moved from one store to the other, you could practically feel the excitement in the atmosphere as everyone was on a high in anticipation of graduation."It's like a zoo in here," Samuel says, annoyed and I roll my eyes at him. Typical.Rein looked great.She had on a pretty white top and a tight-fitting jeans skirt with platform boots. Her makeup was A1.I wish I could do that.She was showing carter something of a flyer she had picked up.All I could do was look around happily. I'm not sure why, but I was in a really good mood. Samuel's arm was wrapped around my shoulder, the other in his pocket."So . . . where are we going first?" Tristan speaks up and we all stop."Well, what do we really need?""I say we split up," Ben suggested. "Girls need dresses, we need . . . well, suits."
Loa was vibrant all morning. She let me rinse her off in the bathroom, fully naked, and dressed in front of me without much of a problem.We didn't have school, but I had football practice for the last game of the season, and Loa sometimes stayed to watch. Today was one of those days.She didn't
We were in my room, burgers in hand, fries, and soda on the table. Celebratory lunch Samuel called it, but we used to eat this every other day."I'm sorry," he blurts after a while. "I'm sorry that I'm being selfish. If your dream school is somewhere out there, you should go ahead and find it. I want you to be happy. . . Even... Even if it makes me unhappy."
Ben and I were quiet, and Jack avoided my eye."What- what do you-""Loa . . . Macy has it out for you, I know it seems like she's forgotten all about you, but she. . . "
It was finally Monday, so when Samuel dropped me off I was quick to throw him a kiss and leap out of the truck.I had to find Jack.Like always, he was easy to find. Always running his mouth.
"Burger or pizza?""Mm, burger," I reply."Soda or wa
