“Alright, settle down now class. Mr. Adams thank you for sharing but I would appreciate it if you keep such information to yourself in the future or at least wait until you’re dismissed to discuss personal matters.” Professor Edwards reminded the regretful teen for stirring up unnecessary excitement in the middle of his explanation.
Clenching his jaws, Jeremy glared at his friend with undisguised frustration, surely if looks could have killed, poor Marcus would have been buried six feet under or frozen to death looking like a carved statue on display.
Swallowing nervously, the boy quickly realized his mistake. Perhaps he shouldn’t have insisted to that extent. Clearly something mustPlease don't forget to vote, comment and continue reading. lots of love (inntri).
“Wow!” Abby stared wide-eyed at Erika stepping out from the stall. “I know I don’t like girls, but damn!” She teased. “Stop exaggerating.” Lisa lightly nudged her friend afraid their reaction might scare the turtle back into hiding. “Yeah, you look fine Erika. No need to worry, come on, let’s go.” Rose smiled grabbing hold of her arm casting the two a quick warning glare. “Alright…” still feeling a bit awkward, she nervously clung to the girl dragging her along worried about her performance. How was she going to cheer when she wasn’t even confident enough to flaunt her assets proudly? However, as soon as she made her way out, Randy too could not help but taking several obvious glances. “If you suddenly lose your eyes, I think we can find a pair at the fish market.” Lisa huffed in annoyance.
"Humph! Serves you right." Marcus smirked at his friend's surprised reaction. Gritting his teeth in painful frustration, Jeremy forced himself to ignore the girl ahead despite the drumming sound beating against his chest from the mere glance and now imprinted image of Erika. "What's the matter, Adams? Can't eat your cake and have it too?" Jake mocked. It seems that his every move or rather reaction was under direct scrutiny by those around, out of both good and bad intentions. "Jealous much?" Jeremy tried regaining his composure by focusing on the others. However, as they ran out onto the open field surrounded by the cheerful girls, his mind couldn't help being drawn to one. &nb
Of course, Marcus had already known about their planned performance, but out of pure satisfaction in tormenting his stubborn friend, he chose to continue his charade of ridiculous remarks. “Too bad she fell for an idiot.” He sighed loudly as if devastated then added, “what I would do to have someone like her.” It didn’t matter if he knew what this provoking fool’s intentions were, Jeremy really did want to punch him in the face. ‘How unfortunate I am to have him as a best friend.’ He concluded, not the slightest bit amused by the teenager’s taunts. Jake on the other hand felt a sense of accomplishment seeing the obvious annoyance and irritation brought on by situation, since Britney wasted no time blabbering about the results of her dad pressuring Thomas and in return, he used whatever methods necessary to convince his son. So unknowingly, the predator was well aware of his target’s
Erika’s mind went completely blank the moment those words registered in her brain. Even if Marcus had previously spoken out on behalf of his friend, the feelings he had towards her, actually hearing it right from the horse’s mouth had definitely sparked a fuse in her heart. ‘what a load of bullshit!’ Her inner voice yelled, refusing to believe his words yet contemplating the meaning… he can not be with her, but he liked her? Even if this had something to do with his father and Phillip Hudson, why did he publicly announce it to the entire class knowing he indeed held secret feelings for her? Then later apologized and confess in such a hectic scene. Wasn’t he just toying with her emotions? “Hey, are you alright?” Lisa lightly shook the zoned-out girl, snapping her back into reality. “Huh? Oh umm… yeah sure, I’m fine.” Erika blinked her eyes a few times trying to regain her senses as she was being c
After some time, Rose too met with her mom before heading off to the docks joining the rest of the crew for an evening to remember. Erika wanted to get change before leaving, but afraid of being held back by either Miss Joy, Principal McAbee or the sports coordinator, Mrs. Vincent, she eagerly rushed out of the building with plans of stopping home for something more appropriate for the chilled night scene. Marcus and Jeremy however, were still very much occupied with the internal school ceremony. “Dude! That was an incredible match, both of you guys were on freaking fire out there.” “Yeah, luckily you stepped in Barkley, otherwise the game would have tied.” “The last thing we need was an overtime play with ‘someone’, sabotaging their own team.” “I can’t believe he acted like such an idiot, nearly causing us….” A
"Hey, I don't want to keep you too long. But I really need to get changed." Erika anxiously reminded Rose seeing the girl had no intention of turning at the next intersection, feeling overly concerned about her clothing that night. Surely such a damp windy evening would be a bit too chilly for her exposed skin. "You know it's not necessary, right? I mean, you don't have to, it's just going to be a small gathering, a few classmates along with the squad, no big deal. Besides we're all going there dressed like this, you have nothing to worry about." Misunderstanding her reasons for being embarrassed or awkward, Rose ignored and continued down the road. "But…." "Before Erika could further protest, the car quickly spe
"J… Jake… wh… where… are you? What's going on?" Erika stammered in fear, hearing the familiar creepy voice as the room suddenly went dark, making it difficult to see clearly those hidden in the shadows."What's the matter sweetheart? Why so shy? I thought you were a feisty little freak, come on now, let's just have some fun.""This isn't a joke you pervert! show yourself." She yelled in panic, frantically shifting her eyes about the enclosed space hoping to get a glimpse of him."Be careful what you wish for." Jake mocked in a low whispering tone, causing the girl’s stomach to involuntarily ch
Flashback… ten minutes or so before the incident. "Hey, look who's finally here." "It's about time you show up." "Hop on board…." Abby, Hazel and Randy, casually invited Jeremy on deck as if it was a regular hangout. Swallowing his impatience of finding the familiar figure, the latter silently stood aside leaning on the rail trying to act natural as his eyes restlessly roamed about. How anxious he was that he didn't bother thinking twice before hopping into the only available taxi at the entrance of the school building in a rush to get to Maple Bay docks, now it seemed this was all just a silly trick orchestrated by Marcus. "Why so gloomy? Relax a bit… it's a victory celebration, not a funeral." Lisa teased. "Where's Marcus? I thoug
