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."
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
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."
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
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
“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
If eyes could kill I'd be dead."Just keep your eyes down Loa, don't loo-,"Danielle went down before me . . . crashing into the concrete, scraping knees against the group, blood being drawn, I shut my eyes and freeze knowing I should've run."Where are you two going in such a rush?" Our predator circled us, and to be completely honest I was getting tired of his shit. But what could I do? Being tall doesn't help you out, I don'
Sammy lived in one of those big houses on the hills that kids like me only dreamed to visit. He was a gentleman, opening the door for me then throwing his keys at the butler who nodded.My cheeks felt swollen and my fingers felt numb, but I didn't say anything, just wondered why I was here. There was this dull ached that was forming in my head, and I touched the spot lightly, before letting out a sigh.Things never get better.
I woke up the next morning to the smell of oatmeal. Danielle stood in my room, sweeping and adding little stuff that my mother would always come to destroy.“Good morning.” She smiles at me and I smile back, sitting up.She frowns. “Did you even eat last night?” She asks, pushing the bowl towards me and I happily take it.“I had a headache,” I

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
