   “Are you guys sure you don’t want me to come along? I can be the entertainment for the evening, Science projects are way too boring and technical.”

    “Marcus, for the fifth and final time, the answer is still no! we don’t need the dead weight.” Jeremy irritably replied to his friend that kept rambling on the entire ride, until the car finally made it to his home.

      “Sheesh, always so rude. Sorry for the poor soul that ends up marring you.” The comedian teased before hopping out of the Audi, slowing retreating backwards with a sad puppy face as if being abandoned by the world and kicked out on the lonely streets.

     “Drama queen.” Jeremy scuffed at his lame childish act.

     ‘Wow! Is he even capable of being nice?’ Erika thought noticing how easy it was for the teen to be annoyed by his best friend. ‘Maybe he was

    “Great! The more the merrier, now Adams wouldn’t be so lonely.” Jake mocked as he winked at Erika playfully, giving her the creeps “There’s nothing wrong with being alone, you should try it sometime.” His implications gave her the urge to puke her stomach out. What was it that Keisha and those shallow minded girls saw in him? that would forever remain a mystery. “Only an ugly turd would think like that, humph! The only thing you’re capable of attracting are flies. No guy in their right mind would ever choose a fake poser, pretending to be poor and pitiful just to steal the heart of an innocent fool.” Britney spoke confidently, almost positive that Jeremy would buy the gossiping lies she cooked-up in her head and made sure to spread throughout the school. “That’s enough! Can’t you keep your mouth shut for once in your life? You wil

    “You can’t just sit here all night long; don’t you have to rush back and apologize to Miss loony-bin in there?” Erika grumbled seeing the boy had no intention of leaving. “Why should I? I was only stating the facts.” Jeremy indifferent laid back on the clayed pavers, rested his head in the palms of his hands in a crouching position. “But she’s your girlfriend and what about your family? Knowing her I think its safe to say she wasn’t bluffing, obsessive bi… umm… people never do.” Erika bit her tongue realizing she was about to yet again issue a much deserving insult, but the person she was directing it to happened to be entangled with the guy beside her, she wasn’t about to stoop that low. Even if she was secretly burying unexplored feelings for him, unlike the typical bratty self-observed plastics, she would never seek an opportunity to defame another in an attempt to glorify herself.

    “Jeremy, get your lazy ass out of bed this instance! Are you even my son? Wake up you ungrateful brat!” Thomas yelled angrily, banging his fist against the teen’s door. Groaning irritable from the lack of sleep, tossing and turning all night wondering how to explain his feelings to Erika, the sudden disturbance only added fuel to his already burning agony. Pulling the sheets over his head, burying himself under the quilts, Jeremy tried to completely ignore the reality of his actions. After awhile the knocks finally faded, but soon the sound of the door being unlocked with most likely a spare set of keys could be heard, followed by the feeling of cool air upon his shirtless naked upper body as the self-made cocoon covering him was rudely removed. “Leave me alone…” Jeremy grumbled reaching for a pillow to once again bury his aching head in. &nbs

    “Young man, isn’t it a bit too early to be drinking?” Richard replied almost instantly thinking the boy had lost his mind making such a stupid straightforward request. “Sorry Mr. Stevens, please don’t get me wrong… ummm I have to go now, but I’m being sobering with seriousness, if it’s okay I’ll like to meet you later, thank you.” Seeing his father signaling him from a distance, Jeremy hurriedly disconnected the call after making a one-sided overdue appointment. “Are you ready son? Don’t forget what I told you, make things right with Britney and stay away from Erika.” Thomas patted the teen’s shoulder motioning him into the car On the other hand, the clueless girl had woken up full of energy and brimming with smiles, refreshed at the thought of being kissed for the first time by her secret crush.

    ‘God, I hope I didn’t overdo it, there must be at least a handful of people tired of the rein of Miss popularity and would be willing to join the squad. Then again, who would actually choose to sign such a death sentence waring against that psycho? besides me of course.’ Erika was lost in her usual world of self- reasoning, as she managed to once more escape Jeremy’s chase through the crowd of students, anxious to gain freedom from Math class at the end of the day. In the school’s auditorium, she stood briskly with eyes fixed at the double door entrance filled with wavering expectations, but soon ten minutes turned into twenty without the slightest hint of a shadow approaching. Thankfully band practice was held on the field today along with the football team’s final preparation, how embarrassing it would have been for her to be rejected by a college occupied with hundreds of students, seventy percent being girls yet th

    ‘Holy shit! What just happened?’ Erika mentally cursed herself, now realizing she had fallen head first into Marcus’ cunning tricks. “Hi I’m Rose, this is Lisa, Hazel, Abby and Randy. We heard you were looking for a team?” A sweet and innocent girl with a bright personality introduced herself and the four alongside her. “Yesss… but how… ummm… why?” stumbling for her words, Erika stood there with a puzzled expression. Even if she was hoping someone would be willing to assist, in all honesty she really didn’t believe they would. “Jeremy asked, so why not?” Randy shrugged adding, “Abby’s my twin sister and Lisa is my girlfriend.” “Which homeroom are you guys from?” Erika questioned the unfamiliar faces. “Well, Rose and Hazel are from professor Welton’s business and fin

    “No need to apologize Chelsey, your brother and I were just having a friendly discussion.” “Mr. Richards, I don’t know what he told you but I’m sure he was only kidding.” Unfortunately, she had only heard the latter part of their conversation, but judging from his words it wasn’t good. Usually when someone says with all due respect, they were politely criticizing the listener. In this case the man on the receiving end should not even be on the list of persons to provoke. “Chels… please stay out of this, I’m dead serious, dad can’t continue to dictate our lives. I need to know if he’s lying to me so I’ll be better prepared moving forward from there.” Thinking his sister had overheard everything, Jeremy stood his ground firmly. “What are you taking about?” Confused, she quickly turned her attention to the teen with a questioning look. &nbs

    “I should have seen this coming?” Jeremy mumbled recalling his attempt to threaten Thomas with revealing his methods to Patricia, no wonder he acted so heartless in his demands. The man really could care less about divorcing his wife, the only benefit he found in continuing their marriage was to manipulate the three of them. “The reason I was able to make a clean brake from the business deal he himself forced, was because I managed to convince Treavor and his parents that it would be at a loss for us all to be entangled in an unhealthy relationship where neither of us were in love. He merely admired my personality, that is not the same as being in love.” Chelsey bitterly explained. “I thought you said he disowned you after you refused to get marry and mom could not handle dad’s ruthless determination so she left him.” Jeremy tried clarifying bits and pieces he v

    “Is… is she really okay? is my baby okay?” Phillip instantly sprang to his feet at the sound of the double metal doors of the emergency room opening up, his words slightly hoarse in expectation and uncertainty. “Hmm... thankfully she got here when she did, our team was able to empty the contents of her stomach before it could dissolve into the bloodstream.” “Ahem! Miss Hudson, ingested almost half a bottle of sleeping pills. A few minutes more and it would have been too late. Since the police is already here, then we have no other reason to get involved, we will provide a report of our findings shortly.” The doctors explained one after another. “Is she awake?” Richard intervened in a concerned tone. Despite the current circumstances, all were nonetheless relieved that the silly girl was still very much alive. “It will take some time for her to regain conscio

    Shortly after, several officers could be seen rushing into the prominent hospital, anxiously requesting medical assistance. Apart from it being their duty to care for the life of a civilian, the young woman involved was the daughter of an arrogant and influential businessman… failure to respond effectively might not only put the girl at a greater risk of dying, but their jobs on the line as well. In a matter of minutes, Britney was rushed into the emergency room with nervous doctors seeking to pump her stomach out, ridden her body of the drug as they tried their best to keep her condition stable. “Why haven’t your parents arrived as yet?” Officer Woody questioned. Seeing that the girl was finally under the care of the hospital’s medical team, he promptly returned his attention to the three possible suspects. “He should be here any minute now.” Jeremy replied vaguely.

    “Selena! How could you do this to me? Stop the car right now!” Britney protested hysterically. “No! drive.” Keisha and Jeremy yelled out simultaneously. Sure, the latter could have taken over if the girls refused to comply, but he wasn’t about to let the frantic psycho out of his sight, even if it meant literally holding onto her. Although Britney was fuming with rage and confusion at the said time, feeling trapped and exposed…. She wasn’t crazy enough to start another fight, especially with the wrathful teen inches away in a moving car. All she could do was ramble on and on until the vehicle finally made its way to the front of the police station. “I did nothing, you can’t prove anything… I’m innocent.” She rebelliously folded her arms, glued to her seat with no intention of stepping foot into the downtown bureau. “Fi

    On the other side, Britney was in a fit of panic wondering why Jeremy’s figure was yet to appear in an exhausted state. “Ahh! I knew it! This is all your fault. He probably didn’t even drink the damn water.” She yelled accusingly at the duo standing by her side as they peered from the corners of the hall, hoping to see the drowsy teen staggering out of the locker room. “Sorry, but I was too nervous. Didn’t you say the coach give it to him? Then don’t worry, he will drink it.” Keisha reasoned. “Don’t worry? Because you two chickened out at the last minute I had no other choice than to give it to him myself. If he doesn’t take the freaking pill my plans are ruined!” “What difference does it make? Either way he would have refused it from us.” “Yeah and you know how clumsy I can get, it was better that you did i

    The following day at West Bay Academy. “Did the handsome flirt give you any trouble today?” “Lisa!” Randy shouted. “What? Can’t I call it as it is. Sheesh, so immature.” The girl teased as the regular group of seven sat down for their routine meal at lunch in the school’s cafeteria. “Fine! You guys see the new home-ec teacher? She’s damn…” “Do you like breathing?” Lisa instantly interrupted her boyfriend from uttering regretful words. “Where’s the equality? How come I can’t compliment a woman and you can drool over a stinking doctor?” Listening to the bickering couple, Jeremy leaned closer whispering in Erika’s ear, “let’s not share a table with these two again.” “Hey, have some manners. When you’re with us, no secrets. Otherwise get a room.” Marcus joked. “Rose, I th

    The evening soon ended on that note. Uncle Sam escorted the girls back home as Erika was accompanied by her parents in a separate vehicle. Being caught up in his own dilemma, Jeremy had guilt tripped the guys into staying away from the show as well… he couldn’t be there to watch his girlfriend flash model, why should they be present for theirs? No doubt if he had any other option, he would have chosen to be on the spot supporting the openly bold but inwardly fragile girl that had a way of bringing a smile to his cold face. Unfortunately, his dad had shown up at the Shephard apartment complex, appearing a bit intoxicated… begging and howling sorrowfully like an abandoned pup pleading to be taken care of. Chelsey, though not as angry as before, was still not too happy about the idea of her mother intending on accept the man back into their lives easily, she wanted him to suffer a lot m

    “Guys! Where on earth are we going?” Erika questioned uneasily, seeing Abby sneakily passed a paper over to the driver, most likely giving him their intended destination. “You’ll see.” Lisa winked playfully. “Come on you guys… I… I need to tell my parents; they will be worried if I’m late…” “No they won’t, right uncle?” Hazel asked the old fella behind the staring wheels as if they had some sort of understanding. “Young Miss, your friends have already told Mr. Stevens sir, about the plans for this evening… I’ll be accompanying you until it’s time to return home.” Old man Sam replied plainly. “Then where are we going?” “To an address Miss.” “Yeah, I know, but where…?” “A place…” “Obviously it’s a place, can’t you be more specific?” Erika tried fishing out information from him. “That’s enough! He’s not telling you squat, now

    “Oh my God! That was freaking awesome! I can’t believe I actually said that out loud, usually I would have loads of random response floating around in my head but I would never think of confronting anyone, especially with so many people watching, well except for that time she slapped me during my first cheerleading practice, still… she had it coming. Oh, and at that pervert’s home, but it was just the four of us there….” Erika rambled on, feeling a burst of excitement as she came out of the cafeteria, tightly clinging onto the helpless teen’s arm. “You did good.” Jeremy smiled, utterly pleased by her courage, even if it was a spur of the moment type of thing and she barely managed to remain standing in the face of so many hypercritical spectators, quickly shifting their views. “My heart is literally racing right now.” The silly girl subconsciously brought both their entangled hands towards her violently drumming heart, innocentl

    The following morning went on as usual with the young lovers accompanying each other to the hospital, the only difference was they had effectively been placed on separate teams. Jeremy observing first hand trauma cases while Erika resisted the urge to ruin the handsome doctor’s face. After realizing the young man’s possible intentions might be connected to her so-called rival, the over imaginative girl couldn’t help mentally acting out a scene of poking his lingering eyes out or chopping his arms off for ‘accidentally’ brushing against her at least ten times within their limited two-hour training. Yeah, like who would believe it was an honest mistake? But she was certainly thankful he didn’t go beyond long stares and split-second contact. However, her newly assigned partner, apparently named Grace, could just as easily detect William’s leniency and extra attentiveness towards her. When Erika deliberately did things wrong, instea
