RYAN“Uhmmmm,” I stuttered, staring at the both of them.“A friend?” Logan asked.“Or,” Tom said as he perked up to his feet, smiling at me.“Some new girl, he’s been obsessed with the whole time they both walked past themselves in the neighborhood,” Tom teased.“And he just can't wait to have her all to himself,” He added.“But the only problem happens to be that, he found a man with the latest car model, always stopping by her house and now he’s gotta go,” Logan said as their laughter erupted in the air.“Stop it guys!!” I yelled, feeling paranoid about them not taking what I had to say about the issue seriously.“What?”“Did we cross the line?” Tom asked.“No, no,” I responded.“I’m just mad that you got it right,” I lied, and just when I did they both shook hands in excitement like they had won some trophy thing or something.“Quiet down gentlemen,” I said with a smile creased on my face. I snaked an arm over Tom’s neck and the other pulled Logan up to his feet.“To the club to fi
SARAH“Alright, bitch! It’s been too long since we talked,” Kathryn’s voice came through my laptop speaker slightly muffled.“How’s the first month of school with me around going?” She asked.I smiled at the screen, staring at her.“Don’t just sit down and stare at me like that young lady,” Kathryn said snapping her fingers in my face.“Okay fine, uhmmmm it’s been boring honey,” I said.“Do you mean that or are you just playing with me,” She asked, her eyebrows raised as she stared at me from her end of the screen.“I’m damn serious and you know Kathy!” I replied, holding my head up on my hand and smiling at her.“I wanna know what it’s like without me there, fill me in on all the details,” Kathryn requested.“Hold up,” I said holding my finger up in her face on my end of the screen.“Did you call in sick from home just so you could ask me all these?” I asked with a frown on my face.“Oh no, I’m ill sist, like—,” She responded.“Hmmm,” I said taking my gaze off her as I glanced over a
RYANI lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling until seven in the morning. I couldn't sleep knowing we were apart, knowing they’d been hanging out together lately.I mean, Sarah and the annoying dude Steve.I could practically feel her slipping away from me, she was pulling away from me. Physically and even worse, emotionally. I could feel her heart becoming more distant from mine.I knew if it came down to it, if I stayed silent to myself without a way of getting her back, I’d end up losing her for good. At some point, I wouldn't blame her for choosing to stay away.It had all been my fault… I thought to myself.Guilt flooded my conscience as I remembered the day I had let her walk in on Jennifer and me in bed. All of that turned out to be my fault. I’d gotten so wrapped up in Jennifer’s trap and had let Sarah slip through my cracks.I slowly rolled onto my side, staring at the clock for a couple of minutes contemplating whether or not to get myself prepped for school.I stood from the
SARAH“That would be all for today, boys and girls,” I said with a smile creased on my face as I leaned by the desk in the classroom watching as they scurried off.“Don't forget to send your assignments ASAP via email guys!!” I yelled. And just as I did, our eyes met. A familiar ache unfurled behind my rib as I stood there staring at him, not knowing what to say or do.The buzzing sound of my phone had my attention taken away from him as I stared at my screen for a couple of minutes and then back at him.His expression gradually morphed into stunned belief as I stared at him, holding on tight to my pile of textbooks. My heart was pounding as my fingers shook around the textbooks.I took further steps away from the desk and headed for the door, but then I felt a hand over my wrist holding me back.“Let go of my hand!” I shot at him, unable to meet his eyes.“You never told me you didn't want me here, so I'm technically not going against your wishes,” He responded.I sighed, exhaustion
STEVE“Fuck, it's too fucking early!!” I grumbled as I shoved my face further into my pillow.The large red blaring numbers on my alarm read 7:45 am. I was just about to say fuck it and head back to sleep when I quickly remembered I had the bus to catch.“Shit!!” I muttered headed for the showers.I gripped my hair tightly, rinsing off the shampoo from it and in less than an hour, I was ready to start my day.Half an hour later, I pulled up in front of my building and as I glanced at my watch, I realized how late I had gotten and now I was going to have to walk up to Sam’s apartment.“Fucking mechanics, can't even have their jobs done right,” I mumbled headed down the road that led to Sam's house.“Yo!!” I called out throwing pebbles and in less than a couple of minutes he stormed out of the house and off to school we both went in his not-so-cool car but I didn't mind that.*************************************************************“Get your ass back on track!!” Coach barked from t
SARAHThere I was sitting alone at my favorite spot, California’s hottest bar, and drinking hideously on my expensive soda after being stood up.That’s right! I've been stood up for the very first time in a long time by Robyn. It was enough for a girl to say fuck it and throw away sixteen dollars on one drink even though she didn’t have a full-time salary yet.“What was it with men and keeping to work rather than sticking to their Fiancées anyway,” I thought to myself.After such a hectic day, I was going to cancel but I had already postponed twice. Once for a rescheduled study group with Kathryn and the others, and the other when I was feeling under the weather. And I didn’t want to leave him hanging again, so I sucked it up and showed up only to get stood up.I finished the rest of my drink and flagged to the bartender, “ Check please?” I called out.“It’s already covered,” When my eyebrows shot up, the bartender tilted her head toward a table of prepping-looking twenty-one-somethi
RYANStumbling down the stairs in a hurry, I only had one goal—-seeing Anne at her apartment. I was more than determined to make her accept. Even if it meant showing up in front of her Fiancee.I love her, and I wouldn't let anyone or anything come between us.It had been so fucking hard staying away from her lately, and even for the fact that she's been hanging out with the menace from school. SteveAll I wanted to do was steal her and have her all to myself. It was torture to be so close but yet I had to keep my distance.The stench of stale beer stung my nose as I hopped into my car. I looked over to the passenger seat and realized I had Sticky red solo cups littered all over from the last party held.“What the actual fuck?” I cursed and then I had it all tossed to the floor as I started the ignition.I stared at the Clock on my phone screen for a couple of minutes, wondering why she had all of my text on hold. My phone buzzed in my pocket but I ignored it, Knowing who it was even
RYAN“How did you know I was staring at you?” I asked, a quizzical line formed between my brows as I stood there staring at her.“I've got eyes remember?” She asked and then giggled. Her soft laughter in my ears made the tiny hairs at the back of my neck tingle as I smiled back at her.“I’d leave you to rest now,” I said and then I got off the bed adjusting the collars of my shirt as I reached for the pillow next to her.“No, don't go!!” She grumbled pulling me back by the wrist.“It's been a long day for you,” I said with a smile creased on my face.“You need to rest, plus the stuff he gave could make you a little uhmmm…” I said.“In Love?” She asked and then chuckled.I stood, shocked that she had said that but then seeing the look on my face she smiled at me, and this time in a more seductive way.I bit my lower lips staring at her, our relationship was too complicated to let things linger without clearing the air but then again her current state made it so difficult to want to do
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
