RYAN If she wasn't going, then who was my supposed surprise gift? Plus, it all got clearer to me now that I put it up for discussion. She would never stoop so low to rub shoulders with my friends, talk more of planning with them to surprise me... Nah. Already aware of the possibility of seeing someone else, even though I didn't bother to think who it would be, I proceeded to extend her an invitation. Logan didn't give me the liberty to do that, but it wouldn't hurt to have one more guest. Maybe we could do it both ways, while he planned my surprises, I would his. “I was told someone wanted to surprise me, and now I'm more confused as to who.” I revealed. She couldn't care for me less to not give a damn, I supposed. "Good for you.” She dismissed it like it meant nothing to her. Maybe I was wrong all along. She couldn't care less. But I wasn't backing down any time. Even without her being verbal as to how she felt about the revelation, deep down, I felt her voice beckoned. I kne
RYAN As the pot-bellied officer advanced towards me, I didn't think twice before taking to my heels. "Ryan, stop!" I heard Alison's voice beckon to me. Regardless, I didn't think twice to stop. If they think being detained was a great idea, I don't. “Dude, stay put, don't make a fuss!” Logan, the birthday boy warned. I'm sorry Logan, if I'm stealing your show, but I can't help it. With my legs running as fast as I could, saddled with the burden of driving my body already in a drunken state to safety, they became wobbly as my knees buckled. My vision got blurred, and my system got a whole lot weaker. I knew in that minute that there was no escaping. As expected the noise of the advanced officer as he chased after me while I made my way to the window, got louder. In a bid to outsmart him, I braced myself up and doubled my pace. For the first few minutes, I was the flash in my show, until I kicked something solid, yelped, and tumbled over. "Argh!" I groaned, as my head banged on
SARAH“In trouble?” I shot over the phone right before being cut off the line, wondering why I had just gotten a call from Ryan but directly from Nate.“What's happening?” I asked myself.“Is he some kind of trouble like he just mentioned?” I continued staring at my phone screen.I took a deep breath as I dialed Nate’s number, hoping he had all of this in control.“Whatever it was,” I thought to myself.The line rang repeatedly without Nate picking up, which got me extra worried about what was happening.As I held on to my phone staring at my screen waiting for Nate to pick up, I quickly remembered Ryan had talked about going to a party.“Fuck!!” I muttered to myself.At this point Nate not picking up, and I was more than worried and confused about what next to do.I stared at the clock, seeing how late it was already, and then kept dialing Nate’s contact. I had my robe taken off as I changed into my hoodie and a pair of black jeans and then rolled my hair into a bun.Just when I was
SARAHRobyn was surely going to lose it if he walked into my house and saw Ryan lying on my couch at such early hours of the morning.It made me so uncomfortable knowing how bad the whole situation was surely going to turn out to be.So after forcing myself out of my reverie, I took a little extra time, with colder-than-normal water from the shower. Stepping out of the shower, I frowned seeing my reflection in the full-length mirror in my bedroom. Turning my face to the side, I eyed the sudden freckles on the bridge of my nose running down to my cheeks.It was strange; I never pictured myself having freckles scattered all over my face but then that wasn't the main problem for the day.I had to figure out a way to get Ryan out of my house.Sighing, I walked over to my closet in my towel and searched through some comfortable clothes to wear. I secured my hair in two French plaits, down the side of my head.Leaving the bedroom, a sweet smell of waffles wafted into my nostrils as I climbe
SARAH“Pull over!!” I said pointing to the spot where I could recall students were meant to park including alumni like myself.“So, here we are!” I said excitedly as we both highlighted from the car.I had my hands tucked into the pockets of my jacket staring at the McConnell Tower atop the Hurley administration building, where the clock from my old days in school ticked.I smiled inhaling the air around me with memories from my days in Uni rushing into my head. The fountains situated in the center of the Uni space reminded me of the times I had just got in, feeling more like a newbie. Getting acquainted with my environment as a girl wasn't much of an easy task, but then I made it through all of that eventually.“Is that the entrance?” Ryan said pointing to the North Texas entrance sign. “Oh yes,” I said pulling him forward by the hand as we walked right through it.“Cool!” He exclaimed holding his hand up to his mouth like he was amazed seeing the fountain ahead.“Come along now!”
SARAH“Fine, whatever!” I yelled back.Rolling my eyes, I shifted my gaze back to the window of the car, staring at the houses by the road as I watched the kids ride their bikes excitedly down the road.I smiled as I saw how much fun they were having being out in the open with friends. I saw Ryan’s gaze shift to my direction as a smile slowly formed on his face and then I felt his hand on my thighs as we drove off.“Gosh not again!” I muttered to myself as I exhaled.I couldn't stand his touch, one bit as he ran his fingers down my legs.Ryan was a complicated individual, and it was no wonder it drew me to his mind.“First thing first, we have to get you a dress,” Ryan said staring out the window probably in search of a boutique around.“What's wrong with the one I have on?” I asked with an arched brow, staring at my dress wondering why he suddenly wanted me to have a change of clothes.“Nothing, really,” He replied.“I just want you sexier,” He continued.“Oh, I see,” I responded as
SARAHRyan gave a devious grin as he approached me and tossed the glass of vodka in my hand.I forced a smile as I gulped the glass of vodka down my throat with my eyes closed.The men from earlier gave a malicious smile as Ryan snaked an arm around me and then held me by the hand as he placed a kiss on my wrist.His soft lips on my skin sent tingles down my nerves as I suddenly wanted more of his touch.But then, the eyes that kept watching made it sort of hard to accept that I had to let him have his way right in public.Ryan’s eyes gleamed in delight, as he sat next to me holding my hand. I was tensed as I swallowed looking into his eyes having a hard time controlling my own emotions. “You look more beautiful tonight and I just can't help but…” He said and then paused as he cupped my cheeks wanting to kiss me.He smirked and slowly trailed his fingers down my cheeks and touched my lips.I sucked in my breath, this time I just couldn't help but push him off. I knew we were playing
RYANSarah was stunned for a moment seeing me in her office after she had bailed on me the previous night. I could tell she was probably wondering how I had driven down all by myself and still made it to school the next morning.I had the door closed on entering as I had the locks screwed in.“You are not saying anything Sarah,” I shot at her as I approached her desk.Her eyes narrowed down to the shirt I had on from last night which I didn’t change I had no time to freshen up.“How did you…?” She asked and paused staring at me in a more confused manner.“You bailed on me, Sarah!” I said trying to control the hurt in my tone. “Why?” I added, with my voice lowered.“I don’t want to talk about it,” She said as she settled into her chair taking her gaze off me.“Did I do something wrong?” I asked again as I took her hand in mine looking straight into her eyes but then, she was having a hard time staring at me.“Tell me, Sarah!” I pleaded.“It’s Miss Sarah, she said taking her hands off m
RYAN“They are here to speak with you,” My father said with a tone that made it quite obvious that he’d heard as well.“Speak to me?” I asked.“I have to get to school, I've got no time for any of this,” I said glaring at them, and headed for the door but then was cut off midway when he had me pushed back to the couch.“Sit your ass down,” My father growled.“What's the meaning of this?” I yelled.“Listen here kid,” One of the men in uniform said with a smile creased on his face as he stood right in front of me.“I’d advise you to comply with us, to make things easy for us all,” He said.“What's going on?” I questioned, trying to stay composed knowing fully well that they all knew about my and Sarah's affair.I glanced over at my dad to find him glaring at me, his eyes raged with so much terror like he was ready to pounce on me and probably beat the living daylight out of me.“We just have a few questions for you kid,” Another policeman said smiling at me.“About your teacher,” He add
RYAN HitFucking useless Get a fucking life HitBe a manI stood by the bathroom sink punching hard into the wall letting my father's words to me in the past fuel each punch as I pummelled the wall.Every snap of my fist against the hard concrete was like a reminder that I deserved every punishment I was getting mentally and physically, emotionally.“What are you doing man?” Tom yelled running into the bathroom as he grabbed me by the shoulders shoving me off to the side.“Stop!” Logan added holding me against the wall.“Let me go,” I screamed trying to wrench free from their grip but then Tom had me wrapped around his arms trying to stop me from pushing further me hurting myself.“Get off me, you both tricked me into going over there!!” I yelled as I kicked Tom off to the side and then I moved away from him.“Don’t blame me, your father made me do it,” Logan grumbled staring at me.“Whatever fuck off!!” I yelled and then I stormed out of the restroom and headed for my locker and j
SARAH“You're just in time honey,” Robyn said with a smile creased on his face as I pulled away softly from the hug smiling nervously at him. Praying silently in my head that his son likes me.But then the familiar smell of lavender from someone in the room wafted over me as I took in the view of a figure that stood afar off.“Ryan?” I questioned myself the very minute I tilted my head toward the young man in front of us.He was wearing his usual ensemble of black trench coats whenever he had to be out with the boys. But here he was, right in front of me.“Am I seeing things?” I thought to myself blinking rapidly and hoping the figure I saw right in front of me would somehow find its way out of my head.My heart raced when our eyes met as the smile I had a while ago before entering reverted to an embarrassed nibble of my lip when I realized the look on his face.He blinked, looking away from me for a split second and then back at me, yet a pained expression passed his eyes and then it
RYAN“Are you sure you don't want to try and get her number man?” Tom teased as he gestured to the waitress who walked past us.“I mean, she keeps looking over here,” He shot a smirk over his shoulders and chugged his drink.“Quit playing around man,” I yelled as I grabbed my drink in one hand watching her as well. Not that I was interested in her anyway though but then her nice curves caught my attention, still I had to take my mind off that.“Is that a yes?” Tom said with a smile creased on his face, I shot him a glare looking away from her.“I said enough man!!” I tried to keep the edge out of my voice but he was grinding on my last nerve as he seemed determined to hook me up with the waitress.“Okay chill, relax!” He responded as his laughter erupted in the air right after he gave me a pat on the shoulders.“I'm chill,” I said through clenched teeth, staring at him.“Well, I think that's great,” Tom nodded approvingly and took a sip of his drink, staring out into the road.Silence
SARAH“Why the hell did you do that?” I yelled frustratingly running my finger through my scalp as I stared into my reflection in the mirror in front of me.I had been too nervous to step out of my apartment and had to send a lying text to Robyn.“Fuck!!” I grumbled.“I can't do this, I really can't,” I continued heading for my bedroom and just when I got out, I crashed into my bed with my head buried into my thighs.“It's all happening too fast,” I yelled, grabbing the strands of my hair as I grumbled.And just then, my phone buzzed repeatedly by my bedside shelf, and just when I had it checked, I realized Ryan had multiple worried texts sent, alongside a few missed calls.“I'm on my way to your apartment now!!” His text read.“Shit!” I exclaimed as I sprung up to my feet, and headed downstairs. Knowing fully well that Robyn would be on his way here as well, probably wondering why I had turned down his dinner offer at his place.But I just couldn't stand, letting things run so fast a
RYAN“Just a quick reminder, that I'm your father,” My father responded.“I say whether or not you leave the house!” He added.Fresh terror stabbed at me, realizing all of what was about to happen was surely going to hold me back from gaining access to Sarah before she headed out.“You can't keep doing this!” I groaned frustratingly as I slowly rolled my hand into a fist and then turned to face him. “I can because I'm your father and it's my house,” My father yelled back, taking a closer step toward him.“Your house?” I asked aggressively, staring back at him with a look of disgust.“A house you barely even come home to?” I continued.“A house you don't and never cared about from the very beginning?” I added glaring at him.“Now explain to me, how your opinion in such premises matters, go on, I'm all ears,” I grimaced, with my hands crossed over my chest.But then he smiled and then had his hands shoved into the side pockets of his pants, making the hot rage I felt having him near me
RYAN“Can we talk?” I texted from underneath a desk, smiling at my phone, anxiously waiting for her reply.And just then, my phone buzzed repeatedly. I had her text open almost immediately, smiling to myself but then the very minute I had her text opened, I realized she was angry at me.“You are not supposed to be texting me in here and you know it,” Her text read.“I just want us to talk,” I texted back and in seconds her text popped right back on my screen.“Fine, my office now!!” She texted back.“Yes!!” I exclaimed excitedly knowing we were about to have our little couple moment in her office and I just couldn’t wait to see the look in her eyes when I tell how hard it’s been taking a nap without her next to me. Excluding the part where I had gotten into a fight with my Dad.“No daddy talks today,” I added and then perked up to my feet headed for her office.“Where are you going man?” Logan called out to me but then I ran ahead ignoring his banters about me missing out on the pictu
SARAHThere I was in my office, wondering how on earth I was to spend the rest of my day locked In here. And was mad at the fact that of all days to be picture day it had to be today.A vein frowned in my temple when the sound of a knock on my door caused a distraction cutting me off from my little battle in the head over nothing.“Come in!!” I yelled hoping to see whoever it was.And just then, Kathryn walked in with a smile creased on her face holding on to a pile of notebooks and a mug that said I love Mum.“I love mum?” I spelled out with my brows creased in confusion as I watched her walk in.“Do you have a problem with that?” She teased and then giggled afterward with her eyes locked on mine.“None that I can remember,” I responded.“Better,” She said and then settled in the chair right in front of me. I released a small breath and smiled at Kathryn whose eyebrows popped the very minute our eyes met.Anxiety buzzed beneath my skin like a swarm of bees pricking the pores on my sk
RYAN“Yo wake up!!” Logan’s voice cut through the void in my head as I jolted awake.“It's so fucking early,” I grumbled as I shoved my face further into the pillow in front of me.“Get your ass up man!!” He yelled, shoving me off to the side. I rolled on to the floor trying to get away from him next to me but then he grabbed me by the foot pulling me over to his end.“The weekend’s over man!!” Logan continued.“We have to be in school in the next two hours,” He yelled. The large red, glaring numbers on the alarm clock next to his bed read 6:15 a.m.“Why do I have to be in school, man?!” I said as I perked up to my feet watching him pace and back forth in his bedroom trying to prepare. Apparently, there I was feeling so unbothered over having to be in school.“I've got nothing to wear man, and besides I have got bruises, remember?!!” I yelled.“You can fit into my clothes, dumbass!!” Logan responded.“Ewwww,” I exclaimed with a look of disgust staring at his closet.“It's picture day
