The atmosphere could not be more heated than it was, the entire classroom was fixated on the unique drama set out in front of them. Luckily for them, no teacher was in sight at that moment.
Marie was seen angrily panting, her expression laced at Cyrus for protecting Nicole. The two stood staring each other off,Nicole chuckled giving Marie a triumphant look, which set her on an outrage, she was so angry that Nicole could see her skin turning red. Nicole smiled, this was just what she wanted, her father would no doubt be elated when he hears that Cyrus for the first time took a step to protect her. It seems she had a chance at making her father like her after all if she fulfils his wish in getting into the Kaye family as a daughter in law and not as a mere friend, since her father wa
George sat smugly in class, his attention far away from what was being taught by the physics teacher who was currently pointing in his direction, George sat still, not indicate that he heard what the teacher was saying, his mind was very far away, The teacher got annoyed and threw the cover of his whiteboard marker pen on him. Georg swiped his head up, looking for who threw the marker cover at him, he searched around, until his gaze fell on the teacher who stood looking like an executioner, George sat up quickly“Standup” He commanded sternly, taking the cover of the marker pen from a student who picked it from the floor and passed it to himGeorge swallowed timidly; He had not meant to cause trouble. But his thoughts would n
All her life, she has always struggled for love and attention from people. Nicole gently cleaned her tears as she watched George defend her against his sister. Marie wanted her out of Cyrus’s life for good and she was sure the blond was going to hurt if she refused to listen.Cyrus on a part had also warned her to accept George’s attention to her. It was rare for people to stand up for her; she realized maybe she had been looking in the wrong counter for her love. Her father’s only goal was to use her to get closer to the Kaye’s. she was done with that now, her father should go and find his own toy tool, despite how she looked forward to his attention every day, he never loved her onc
A good sleep was all she had needed, Nicole thought as she made her way to the house. She was feeling so refreshed and re-energized, she wondered what George had done to her to make her feel so. Walking alongside her school mates as they all went to their respective homes, Nicole felt multiple eyes on her as she walked, looking around, they all pretended to look elsewhere Nicole wondered why she was being watched. Panicked, she hoped her father had not sent them to watch her on her way home. She would have to conduct herself well as she walked. Pulling her school uniform straighter, she hugged her arms to herself and began her lonely walk home. The house was unusually quiet and peaceful by the time she got home of which she was grateful, it would give
George was resting blissfully with a full smile on his lips as the image of Nicole’s cute face kept on replaying on his mind. Though days had passed after that, the picture was still clear in his brain. She was so breathtakingly beautiful; he always felt the urge to kiss her whenever he was around her.A sudden beep on his phone cut off his fantasy. George ignored and continued smiling at his memories, digging himself deeper into his world of imaginations. He crushed the pillow to his body, hugging it tighter. His phone began beeping rapidly as series of messages kept on entering, it was almost like a phone call at the rapid way the messages were been sent and received.
After Nicole’s fight with her father, the two of them pretty much kept to themselves. He spends more of his time attending parties with Cyrus father Kelvin Kaye, of which Nicole was grateful. The less they saw of each other, the better for everyone.She had been on the search for George, but he was avoiding her and she was sure of it. She had spotted him twice during sport’s period, on her attempt to talk to him, he had disappeared. She wondered why he was ignoring her so, it was almost as if he was not the boy who went about the school following her everywhere or had her father threatened him? It was not unlikely. Her father was a despicable man.
George snapped his head up in denial" No, I did not say that"Nicole puzzled looked at him inquisitively " no, I heard you say something about hurting me"Seeing she would not drop it, he changed tactics" Oh that, there was a piece of glass in the grass, " he pointed at the grass looking for the nonexistent glassDramatically moving her around, till they left the spot they were. Nicole started laughing as soon as they left.George watched her laugh, she was so beautiful. It ached to have to do this to her. She no doubt felt complete with him by her side, she was so insecure when it came to love.The rowdy atmosphere of the Cafeteria soon got to them. Nicole was perplexed"Come on let's go check," George said holding her hands firmly."No, we can't go together, Dad would question me and he is going to be really mean about it," she said sadly" Alright, you go then, I
Nicole noticed she had been feeling apprehensive ever since she had eye contact with Marie Richwood, the girl was so venomous. She now understood why George had repeatedly begged her to stay clear of Marie. Ever since the teacher came in to give the directive, she kept on looking behind her; she had a gut feeling Marie was going to hurt her if she did not explain herself soon. Her father in his office had questioned Marie over her open declaration of love for Cyrus. Their seats had been swiped also, Nicole was told to sit beside Cyrus while Marie sat behind them, It was then the feeling of dread had started, she began to feel as if a thousand pins were sticking itself in her whenever she sat down. Even Cyrus had been stiff with her, he no doubts also t
The cold afternoon was not doing justice to the hot grounds George was currently standing on, he cursed Marie a hundred times. Nicole’s tender eyes were trained on him, arms akimbo. He began thinking of several excuses in his brain that would not bring tears to her eyes.He moved close to gather her in his arms, she stood stiffly, she neither refused his touch nor gave in to it.“George I asked you a question, what was that about? I ran after her thinking she was coming to threaten you or something, but you two are definitely up to something” She declared, looking at him menacingly
Who can claim how Love will end? Nicole mused as she sat with George in their apartment, one they had been living in together ever since their university days, he had relocated to the united states to live with her mother and attend her vocation school of fashion designing, while George learned Business and soon began interning at his father’s place of work in the statesIt was like a dream come through for her. She had a love that had gone through the weather for her, she had always been scared she would be scarred for life because of her parent's misfortunate marriage storyThey had gotten married some weeks back and George had sent her father a photo of the both of them while they all had a good laugh at the gesture. Surprisingly enough, they received a congratulatory card, though he did neither apologize for the hurt nor framing up of George, his card was loud enough to show that the old man regretted his actionsNicole relaxed her back on George&rsquo
He had no idea why he was suddenly metamorphosed to the image where he was stopped by the school prefects who had demanded he give them his bag for searching, he had not suspected a thing as weird as it sounds, he had not heard of students being searched before but he obliged and gave them the bag since he had nothing to hide.He had watched in shock, as they had produced bags after bags of hard drugs from his bag, there was no word to be said. He knew he had fallen into a deep trap that he could not get out of. He had collected the bag from them only to produce more bags of hard stuff he knew nothing about.Facing Stacy again, made him feel like he was at the mouth of another trap, though he could not kay his finger on it, he felt suffocated just by seeing her, the very thought of her insincere eyes made his sting.“What do you want Stacy, I do not have all day” He demanded brashlyShe smiled prettily, laying her slender hands on his shoulder
George sat with a blank face in his new classroom lost in thought, his eyes sliced through what the teacher had written on the board, but his eyes had since lost their focus and only lay listless, therefore no recognition was sent to his brain“That’s it for today’s class, Stacy get all the assignments and submit them to my desk” The teacher announced and left the classImmediately the teacher left the class, George set his head on his desk, letting his emotions whirl about, it had been a crazy day when his sister found out he was leaving, their father had somehow found out the real reason behind it all and had demanded Marie also break up with Cyrus of which Marie had rejected the suggestion. Mr Richwood however wasted no chance in sending George off the next day, and by the following week, he was allowed to return to Dale High with his registrations settled. He was made to live alone in their previous house which further added to his loneliness.
The sweat ran down Nicole’s neck as she ran down the steep steps to her father’s office, she gave no concern to the thumping sound of her feet on the tile floors, she ran blinding through the classrooms, pushing and pulling both objects and humans out of her way as she ran through.She had been such a fool to believe her father would let her go just yet. She saw he had tried his last straw and she would also do the same, even if it means her ending his career.George had known her father would not back down, she had been the foolish one not to sense it, his quietness despite their win, his bitter smile, he had even lost focus in class.The door to the Meeting room was locked firmly by the time she got there, she locked her ears firmly to the door but there was no sound coming out. She began beating on the door with her bare hands but the door refused to give way. It was a hopeless cause; she would have to wait till the meeting was over
“I can’t believe you got my Dad to sign the divorce, he was so adamant about it,” Nicole said.George chuckled but said nothing, only he would know the tactic he had used, Nicole would only worry if she came to know how he had gotten Principal Francis to back off. It would be his own little secret, he knew Principal Francis was bound to retaliate and he would have to be on his best alert.Signing deeply, he bemoaned his fate, he had gotten the love he so desperately wanted but he could not enjoy its bliss, without pausing to look over his shoulders for fear of an intruderSpeaking of the enemy, Principal Francis strong booming voice made George snapped his head up, taking Nicole by the hand, he fled the cafeteria“Wait... wait. I haven’t finished my food. “her cry was ignored as George walked forward and left the hall, they halfway down the hall when Nicole jerked her hand away from his strong onesTurning square
Rage was an understatement to what Principal Francis felt, his indignation burned fiercely within him, George Francis was truly unique. They had the guts to come in to threaten himJust who did they think he was to take him on. He looked menacingly from one sibling to the other, The Richwoods were really an ache in his teeth, the eldest had been the first to scatter his nest of well-organized plans, he was going to make Nicole get close enough to Cyrus so he could be recognized in the community social circle as more than a principal. Cyrus’s Father had a range of well-known friends whose mere recommendation will make Bells High be a Nation famous secondary school. But Marie Richwood had come in, tumbledown his perfectly laid down plan by making Cyrus loose interest in Nicole.He had managed to keep his cool for that but the siblings were once again crossing the line interfering with his plans again, they had the nerve to make him feel so agitatedA knock o
After several school days without any trace of Nicole, Principal Francis knew something was wrong, she was a timid child, she would never go against him. He had searched the CCTV for clues to her whereabouts but he could not find any lead as to how she disappeared from school. He had ransacked her room for clues of her whereabouts, but there was none, her clothes were still in the right order as she usually arranged them, her personal effects were on her dresser, none missing.There was one last place he thought to look but it was highly impossible. Nicole does not know the whereabouts of Lupita, he was sure she could not even recognise her if she sees her, she parted from her mother at a very young age.
Nicole was shocked to the bones at the words her mother was uttering, she had never imagined her parents had such a history. She had always thought it was a case of adultery but her father was really overbearing. Her mother’s tale was horrible.She watched Lupita warily as she recounted her tale” My parents were fascinated by Francis when they met him since they never approved of my boyfriend, it was an easy switch, they made us broke up immediately. He did all he could to get me to marry him, I did not know I was pregnant with you then, so we got married. When he discovered that I was pregnant he was mad for my boyfriend, he wanted me to have an abortion but I was able to refute that, his behaviour towards me changed so much after that
Standing with apprehension at the front of her mother’s pouch, Nicole stood nervously, she turned to observe her surroundings, the car in the garage was dusty and showed it had not been in use, even the sidewalks had no sign it had been treaded on for weeks. She was sure she had the address correctly, she had collected the address from her father’s room on a lucky day and it had been in her possession since then.Anxious, she walked to the window, she used her left hand to clean the dust away, pressing her nose to the glass, all she could see was an empty living space, with clothes strewn all around, but there was no sign of her mother.Her heart skipped
