COLE'S POV
"Hey baby!" I say smiling, "you mind telling me where room 214 is?"
"Um-mm yo-u just wal-l-k strai-gh-t and tur-r-n left." she stutters turning red.
"Thanks beautiful." I wink and head to class. Just as I'm heading there I see a lady moving towards the place too. When she sees me she stops.
"Hello young man. What are you doing?" She asks.
"Good day ma'am". I greet. What? Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I don't have manners. "I'm Cole Danvers, the new student. I have to go to room 214 for my first class," I say explaining to her.
"Ohh right I heard about that. Ok come-on let's go." She says walking towards the room door. "I'm Mrs Smith, I teach the class you are going to now" she says opening the door.
"Alright, then," I reply.
"Ok class, sorry I'm a little late again"she smiles. The class laughs and soon she joins them. I scan the class and the people in it. I notice all the girls drooling but then one seems to catch my eyes. Her expression seemed bored and uninterested.
"Ok ok, that's enough." She says quieting down the class. "As you can see I didn't come in alone, this" she gestures to me,"is Cole Danvers. Cole why don't you tell the class something about yourself." She smiles.
"Sure Mrs Smith. I'm Cole Danvers, I come from a rich family which means I have money"I smirk. Don't judge i like to brag. Sue me. I'd prefer people knowing that so that they know I can get off with anything. "I don't have a girlfriend...yet" I wink. Someone says "God that's hot". Another one says "oh yeah he is so mine". I just smile "And I'm really glad to be here with you guys"I finish
"Ok thank you, Cole. Have a seat, you can sit next to Bradley" Mrs Smith say pointing at Bradley. I see that Bradley is in front of the chick, "Thanks Mrs S"I smile showing my teeth and taking my seat.
"Hey man," I greet my new seatmate.
"Xup dude!" He brings forward a hand and I clasp it for a shake.
"So what does Mrs Smith teach again?" I ask.
"English grammar," he replied.
"Huh! I guess it kind of suits her," I remark looking over her direction.
"Yea, I guess so too. She's the best teacher so far. I mean everyone loves her."
"Ok class, we are gonna be talking about tag questions. Does anyone know what tag questions are?" Mrs Smith asks looking around. "Anyone? So no one knows?" She sighs. "Tag questions are--". Before she could continue the bell rang signalling class over. "Well consider that your project and I expect it in three days minimum" she says sternly.
I grab my bag walking into the hall straight to my locker. Well, the lesson was ok. I mean it's not like I don't know all this stuff she's teaching. I'm not stupid! Lets talk about about my family a little.
We are four, two boys and two girls. I'm the second child with my sister Ivy being the first, she's in college now. Then we have the twins Rhett and Daisy, they're still in middle school.
My dad owns a law firm while my mum is a model. They are both very successful in what they do and they expect us to follow their part. My sis is already studying law and my parents want me to join her when I'm done but that's not for me. I'm gonna study medicine.
As I'm walking someone bumps into me and lands on the floor. I turn and see a blonde girl. She's the same one that sat behind me in English.
"Easy there sugar, don't want you breaking anything now, do we?" I say slowly reaching to help her up, flashing a smile.
"Thanks but I don't need your help getting up" she says standing and dusting herself, "seeing as you're the reason I fell down by the way" she adds tightly.
I smirk, "well love, I think you should be watching where you're headed don't you?" I ask with one brow raised. She's the one who bumped into me maybe she just wants my attention..I mean don't they all.
"No I don't!" She says as though reading my mind, "and FYI, I'm not your love." She snaps.
"Well that's what they all say, love." I say to piss her off. I let my eyes roam her body checking her out and not being subtle about it either. She has a great shape with curves in all the right places. Fuck she looks hot. Just how I like'em. My eyes stop at her boobs. That aren't too big or too small, they look just the perfect size.
I hear her clear her throat and I look into her eyes which is the brightest shade of blue I've ever seen, "..till they come begging for me."
"Am sorry to bust your little bubble or day dream.. whatever but I just want you to know something" she says inching closer to me. I breathe in her perfume. It's more like honey and strawberries "I'm not like them." She says walking away.
"We'll see" I said when she was still within earshot.
LUCY'S POVThe nerve of that guy. Who the fuck does he think he is, we'll see.. ohh we are so gonna fucking see. If he thinks I'm one of those bimbo sluts, he's got another thing coming. I walk towards the next class, maths which is taught by Mr Clark. Now he's a fucking pain in the ass. He's so strict I wonder how he treats his wife at home. And I hear he has kids. Man I pity them.I reach and enter the class, few minutes later he enters. He starts to talk about quadratic equations and I just tune him out. Maths isn't really my strong suit so I don't really care much about it. As far as I pass I'm cool with that. Since I'm not actually paying attention, I glance out the window daydreaming about California, and days with my best friend Lucas. You didn't think I'd be best friends with a girl right?. No offense but I don't r
COLE'S POVAfter my encounter with blondie locks, I skip lunch at the café and go behind the building to smoke a stick needing to clear my head. I smoke more than half of the pack before the bell rings signalling the next class. I throw the bud on the ground and step on the head a little putting it off. I take a mint from my pocket popping it into my mouth to hide the smell of the cigarette, then walk into the building again.I enter my next class which happens to be Algebra. Ughh!!! I take a window seat and settle down waiting for the fucking teacher to show up. For the next 10mins he's still a no show. I glance at the clock. Just 20mins more and I can get the fuck out of here.I swear time goes slowly as I watch the long and short hand of the clock slowly kiss as they touch each other. I puff out a breadth then pull out my
I push open the door to the detention room walking in. I look round the room to see 10 more students."Nice of you to join us, lucy. Another five minutes and you'd have come back tomorrow" Mr Clark says looking up from his book. I glance at the clock, I'm just 30 mins late! So?? What's the big deal about it.I groan a
LUCY'S POVWalking through the lawn, I see alot of drunk students. Some high on weed too and others smoking. Entering inside, I scan the room, there's a table with students gathering playing beer pong. Some are dancing or should I say grinding in the corner, some making out."Get a room people! This isn't a porn show you know, jeez!" I shout seeing a guy trying miserably to take the top of a girl. From the lo

LUCY'S POVStill on the road, I asked Tamara if I was dropping her home. She muttered something I couldn't hear, then she asked if it'll be alright to stay at my place. I agreed. We stopped at a food vendor, bought some food and ate, because I could already hear the loud grumbles coming from our tummy, and continued home.I bent towards the flower pot on the left and using my phones flashlight, I dug out my key.

Years passed, and the seasons turned like the pages of a beloved book, each one rich with memories and laughter. Cole and I settled into married life, our days woven together with the threads of love, adventure, and shared dreams. Our home, a cozy little haven infused with art and creativity, became a reflection of our journey. Colorful paintings adorned the walls—each one telling a unique story, a snapshot of our life together. The studio where I once painted alone transformed into a shared space, bursting with the vibrant chaos of collaboration. We often spent evenings sketching ideas, laughing, and talking about everything and nothing at all, often with the scent of freshly brewed coffee hanging in the air. Our relationship, like my art, blossomed even further. We learned the beauty of patience, the power of communication, and the art of compromise. We traveled to different corners of the world—each trip an adventure filled with new sigh
[Lucy] As I met Cole at our favorite café—the place where we had spent countless hours imagining our futures—a familiar warmth enveloped us. The sunlight filtered through the café windows, casting golden rays that danced across the wooden table where we now sat, both buzzing with our achievements and exciting developments in our lives. “Can you believe how far we’ve come?” Cole mused, meeting my gaze with that softness that had become an anchor in my life. “I know,” I replied, my voice thick with emotion. “It feels surreal, and yet, it feels like the most natural progression. We’ve both chased our dreams, and look where we are now!” Cole smiled, an expression filled with admiration and quiet pride for me. “You’re incredible, Lucy. Your work is inspiring countless artists and creators. You’re leaving your mark on the world, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.” My heart fluttered at
[Lucy] Years had flown by in a blur of colors and creativity, each moment brimming with inspiration and growth. I had thrived in art school, where the seeds of my passions had blossomed into a vibrant career. My dream of becoming a known figure in the art industry had materialized, and the sketches I once created in solitude transformed into gallery exhibits that sparked conversations and ignited imaginations. From my early days of uncertainty to becoming a recognized artist, my journey had taken me through bustling art fairs, collaborative installations, and personal showcases that highlighted not just my work, but also the stories and emotions behind each piece. Through hard work and dedication, I had gained a voice in a world that valued art's power to connect us and open our minds to new perspectives. But amidst the whirlwind of my success, the familiar tug of home had grown stronger, and now, after years of living
[Lucy] With summer stretching out before me like a blank canvas, a renewed sense of purpose settled into my heart. The initial apprehension about moving so far from home faded away, replaced by a burgeoning excitement for what lay ahead. I had a chance to immerse myself in the world of art, to learn, grow, and discover parts of myself I’d never encountered before. As the days passed, I dove into preparations for my new journey. Packing was a labor of love; I selected pieces of my life that felt right to take along—my favorite sketchbooks, a few beloved novels, and a collection of photographs filled with memories of laughter, friendship, and love. Each item became a reminder of where I had come from and the bonds I intended to keep strong despite the distance that would soon separate me from my childhood home. Meanwhile, Cole continued to be my unwavering support. Every day after school, we would meet at the park, basking
[Lucy] The day of the final exams arrived, casting an air of excitement and anticipation over the entire school. It felt like the sun itself was celebrating, flooding the campus with golden rays that amplified the laughter and chatter among students. As Cole, Tamara, and I emerged from the school's main entrance, our faces beamed with joy, the last remnants of stress slipping away like morning mist. "I can't believe it's finally over!" I exclaimed, my heart racing with the liberation that came after weeks of studying and worrying. I tossed my books into my bag with an exuberance that felt almost like flying. "Best. Day. Ever!" Tamara squealed, her curls bouncing as she jumped up and down in her excitement. "I feel like we can do anything now!" Cole chuckled, his arm draped casually around my shoulders, anchoring me to solid ground amidst the swirling energy of jubilation. "I can't believe we survived, hones
[Lucy] The plan to take down Viktor wasn't straightforward. It required precision, patience, and a level of coordination that pushed our makeshift family to its limits. Tamara' and Kevin's digital investigation uncovered a complex web of connections. Corrupt cops, underground money laundering, trafficking networks—Viktor's operation was more than just a simple criminal enterprise. It was a hydra, with multiple heads that needed simultaneous attack. "We can't just go to the authorities," Tamara explained, spreading digital files across her laptop. "Half of them are on Viktor's payroll." Cole, still recovering but increasingly restless, became the strategist. His background—something he rarely discussed—proved invaluable. "We need to hit their financial infrastructure," he said, studying the maps and connection diagrams Tamara had created. I guess there's still a lot I don't know about Cole and Tamara.
[Lucy] The moment that text came through, everything stopped. Time, breath, rational thought-all of it suspended in a single, terrifying moment. I called Michael immediately. His voice was a raw mixture of panic and desperation. "Lucy, what do we do? They have Sophie!" "We need to stay calm," I said, surprised by the steadiness in my voice. Inside, I was shattering. "Has anyone contacted the police?" "I can't," Michael whispered, and in that moment, I heard something deeper-fear beyond losing Sophie. "There are... complications." Before I could press further, Cole and Tamara burst through my front door. I'd called them without even realizing it, my survival instincts kicking into autopilot. "Talk," Cole demanded, his usual playful demeanor replaced by something harder, more dangerous. I showed them the text. Tamara, always analytical, came up with the idea of tracing the number. She made a call and within some seconds, they called back. "Burner phone," she muttered. "Purchased
[Lucy]As the picnic wound down and Sophie's flower crown began to wilt, I felt a strange sense of emotional exhaustion settling over me. Cole and Tamara had been quietly observing from a distance, giving us space while remaining close enough to offer support if needed.I caught Cole's eye, and he raised an eyebrow—a silent question asking if I was okay. I managed a small nod, more to reassure myself than him.Dad—and it still felt strange to think of him that way—began packing up the picnic supplies. Sophie helped, her enthusiasm turning even the most mundane task into a game. She carefully folded napkins, her tiny hands moving with a concentration that made me smile despite myself."We should do this again," Dad said carefully, his tone tentative. "Maybe next weekend?"Before I could respond, Sophie jumped in. "Can Cole and Tamara come too?" she asked, looking up at me with those wide, hopeful eyes that seemed impossible to resist.I glanced at my friends. Cole looked amused, while
[Lucy] After the heavy heart-to-heart, the air between us felt a little lighter. With Sophie’s playful giggles echoing across the park, I found myself caught up in her infectious joy. “Are you ready to play tag?” I asked, smiling down at her as she bounced on her feet, brimming with excitement. “Yay!” she squealed, clapping her hands together. “You can’t catch me!” “I can try!” I called out, springing to my feet and chasing after her. The moment I bolted, Sophie squealed and took off, her yellow dress swirling around her as she dashed through the grass, her laughter ringing like bells. Dad watched from the sidelines, a proud smile plastered across his face as he cheered us on. I could see how much Sophie adored him, and it made my heart ache a little more. Here they were, creating a bond without the shadows of what had come before. As I chased Sophie, I felt a rush of warmth, momentarily forgetting everything else. For those blissful minutes, the laughter and squeals created
