ADRIENNE’S POV
“How are things with Alec?” Aileen asks as we both exit the schools building. Kathie had gotten a ride home with Christian and that left only me and Aileen.
Quite a number of students were still hanging around schoo
ADRIENNE'S POV"Are you guys being serious right now?" Alec says as he stares at all four of us with dread in his green eyes.I looked breathtaking in the sexy black tulle plunging neckline open back dress I had on which looked simple but still perfect in my eyes. The slit on one side of the gow
ADRIENNE'S POVIt was a late afternoon after I had just kissed my best friend's brother. It wasn't something I had planned, but it couldn't be avoided either. An hour before the incident, I was asleep in the room I and my best friend shared. It's been a few months since I moved in to live with her family in California, during our summer break.Since after the death of my dad in a car accident and none of my relatives cared to t
NICHOLAS' POVI just had to walk out of the room."Nicholas Pearce, don't you dare walk out on me," my dad says, in his usual cool but authoritative voice. But I'm done being his puppet. I just needed to clear my head. I head towards Daisy's café to grab a cold drink before meeting up with the guys but that seems like it's going to take longer than expected as I bump into a brown-haired beauty.She had cappuccino all over her body and I could see the embarrassment in those icy blue eyes of hers. Her cheeks were quite flushed also because of the night breeze finding its way through the door as we were both still standing at the entrance of the café, thereby incurring lots of eyes towards our direction."You okay?" I ask her, my eyes not leaving her for a moment while I bring out a handkerchief from my pocket. I offer it to her but rather, she takes a step backward, eyes glaring as she looks up to meet my gaze.Those eyes we
NICHOLAS' POVBeing a Pearce isn't something I quite enjoy.I aim the ball to the net and make a nice shot in the basketball courtroom, as a smile creeps up my face by just remembering those charming icy blue eyes."Nice shot Pearce!" Halsey says as he jogs towards the ball to pick it up."I thought you were hanging out with Alec and Derek," I ask while making an attempt to grab the ball from his hands but he dodges it. Well played."Thought so too," he says as he makes his targets into the net."Thought so?" I asked not sure about what he meant. He was never one to be straightforward."Yes. You know how Derek is when he's around girls. He probably ignores everyone most especially when he's with Casey."Well, now I know why he's here. The name wasn't one I often mentioned around him given his past relationship with her. Derek being Derek ignores the bro code by being a dickhead and messing around with his frie
ADRIENNE'S POVStill standing in the midst of a thousand eyes, all I could wish for, was the floor to open up and take me in. I make eye contact with Mr handsome giving him a pleading eye to bail me out, but I guess I got what I wanted as he walks up to me leaving a little space between us.I could bet he could hear the sound of my heartbeat as he grabs my hand and shakes it."One could never forget a beauty with a smooth brown hair and strawberry scent," he says obviously flirting with me.Gosh not now."Anyway, I'm Nicholas. And you're...""Adrienne," I say boldly giving him a cool smile.But my fucking hand couldn't help but quiver at his touch."Calm down Adrienne, I won't bite you."His friends laugh quietly at those words."I'll love to see you around so we could finish up what we started," he says grinning to himself as if he had just won a lottery.OMG! Why did I say those words then? An
ADRIENNE'S POVAlec.I guess it's fate for me to always meet him at my downfalls."See who needs my help," he says in those sexy British accents of his, not hiding the joy in his tone.Well, it's not sexy to me, just generally speaking. Or maybe I didn't know what I wanted."Unfortunately for you, I can't swim. Maybe I should go call for help," he continues.God let me just leave here alive, I promise to kill this loser! I'm almost dying and he's here messing around with me.I guess my time was up as I finally begin to drift to a state of unconsciousness."Little witch, I can't really swim!" his tone changed immediately, having noticed my condition required immediate attention.Bad jerk! Definitely a devil."I cant near the water! You have to stay conscious while I go get some help!" he yells in a pleading tone. Well someone is scared. Maybe he didn't want to be charged for my death. You never know wha
ADRIENNE'S POV"Mum!" Kate yells and runs after her.Tyler didn't even act like anything had happened and went straight to his room. Same with Mr. Carly.I just head straight to the kitchen to pick up a broom and a parker. I get back to the living room and start cleaning. I try fighting back the tears that were trying to find their way down my cheek but it turns out unsuccessful. Living off someone never really ends well.I guess I'm not welcomed here either. I lost everything I had at home and I guess I'll also be losing the people I thought were my family. I don't want to be the cause of a scattered home, especially not Kathie's family.I pick up the Pieces of glass on the floor and shove them into a basket. Still cleaning up the mess created, I hear the argument between Kate and her mom. She's trying so hard to support me which I love, but I guess her mom had always had this much hatred for me.
ADRIENNE'S POV"Over here" Nick says giving me his flirty smile.I walk straight to him hiding the various thoughts going on inside my head. Just then I notice another figure seated directly opposite of him, head bent like he was going through his phone, a strawberry milkshake in front of him.I grab a sit next to Nick, facing Alec as I place my lemon bag on the table. I haven't really been fashion conscious of recent because there are a lot of things on my mind lately."Alec has ordered his drink, so what would you like?" Nick asks still smiling at me. He was definitely in a great mood. I turn to snicker at Alec, who seems not notice my presence since my arrival."I'll take one Americano" I smile back at him.As Nick stands up to leave, I face Alec and notice the seriousness on his face. He had the look of someone having a serious conversation or reading something really important
