CHAPTER 32- ZACK AND JOY
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Caleb clutched onto his stomach tightly as he vommitted. His breath hitched a bit as he opened the running water. He splashed some on his face, as he looked at the mirror, his expression grim.
Trying to stand on his own, he suddenly felt dizzy. He rested his hands on the sink as he shook his head slightly, a sense of weakness building in.
'I should have been more careful," he thought.
He has only requested a soda with a little mix of alcohol, but it seems his friends might have mixed it with a concentrated mixture.He has been trying his best to get over his former self, all thanks to Andrew. His former self drinks alcohol to the fullest has night parties and ends up fornicating with different ladies. It was a lifestyle that gave him temporary fun and also seems rather exhausting. It was like chasing after wind, which seems rather impossible.
Caleb tried to blink his eyes, but it was like he was seeing double. He felt like the restroom

Rachael stopped for a while. For some reason, she began to wonder why no one was in the rooms she had been opening. Zack seems to have planned well. The house upstairs looks desolate compared to how loud the downstairs was........INSIDE THE ROOMZack was bewildered, angry, and confused as he looked intently at Joy. The illuminating light was enough to show how angry he was. He could not help but wonder what was behind the act."You slapped me," his eyes flung open as his nose flared up in anger.Joy took two steps backward, not because she was afraid of Zack, but to defend herself, just in case Zack makes a move.The door suddenly flung open as Rachael emerged."Don't you think you deserve something better than a slap, Zack Grande," Rachael expressed confidently, as she took bold steps forwardZack was shocked, as he felt his heartbeat increase with each pace Rachael took."What are you doing here?"

The sound of laughter erupted as Rachael simply sipped her coffee looking at her friends who kept reviving the tricks played on Zack. She just simply gaped, somehow having a bitter feeling at the pit of her stomach."Can you guys just stop? Most especially you Joy,"Rachael pointed at Joy who let out a chuckle."Are you pitying him now, Mademoiselle?"Rachael raised her brow, as she felt she was in a difficult situation.It has been a month already, and school has vacated for a break. The point Rachael was trying to make was for them to stop the teasing. It was true Zack made mistakes but realizing and making better changes should be what she expected them to pray for.She has often read in books that most people who turned out to be a player always have a bad past. Even tho, it doesn't justify it fully in regards to Zack, at least thinking of him changing should be their priority now. Or better still, help him to change." It has b

They have resumed their second and final semester as a 12th grader, but it seems Joy was not really cool with it."I still find it difficult that we have had a lot of work even though we are in the second week of resumption. I feel like leaving school already," Joy whined, hissing loudly"Just great Joy. Try to think straight. Will you just waste all those years you have suffered in high school just because of more work during this semester? Try to adapt, you are graduating soon, remember," Rachael cautioned, speechless by her friend's choice of words."Whatever. I do not even know what I want to become in the future. That makes it more frustrating," Joy whispered as they continued walking down the hallway.Rachael stopped as she held her friend's hand."Try to calm down okay. The pressure is much but try not to think about it too much. I, personally did not know w

' He has so many female admirers and compared to herself, she does not look fit'.She reprimanded herself inwardly when she began feeling her insecurities coming back to life. She draped her face with a handkerchief and felt even more impatient because her driver was not yet around.She sighed, as she looked at her wristwatch, realizing it has been some minutes past the normal time she was supposed to be picked."Joy.

It sounds unreasonable.The shout kept getting intense, making Kevin blame himself for coming early to school today. He looked across the hall, as his eyes met with that of Rachael.He felt his heartbeat, as he saw the pain in her eyes, maybe it was his imagination. Before he could say a word, Rachael turned away and left.Within a split second, Kevin removed his hand from that of Lydia, ready to make his own decision. He took a step forward, as the noise began reducing."I don't know why you are making a fuss over this unless you want Principal Mullins to detain you all for disturbing the school peace.

For the first time, Joy complemented Andrew for his nice taste.The apartment had a small sitting room alongside two bedrooms, toilet and bathroom as one, alongside a well-furnished kitchen.
