Have you ever experienced that moment when you want to bash someone's head so hard until they bleed? Yeah that's how I felt right now.
Looking at my Mathematics teacher, he wore a disappointed expression. “Look Celestina, I would be very straightforward with you, if you wont get good grades than you would never graduate.”
Anything but a disappointed expression. I fucking hate it. It makes me feel low.
I scoffed. “What do you want me too than?"
“I suggest you too study. If you cant, than we can get you a tutor. We have excellent students who are tutoring for extra credit hours but you’ll have too figure out which one suits you better ” He said, making me roll my eyes in response. “No thankyou, I don't want any of your pathetic help.”
“Celestina I suggest you too co-operate with me and also fix your manners. If you cant than I have no choice but too call your mother for this issue.” He ended his sentence. I was fucking seething. How dare he drag mom into this. It’s my fucking life not hers.
“Take this form, if you change your mind. You can register yourself for any tutor you want.”
“Cant you appoint one yourself or are you that incapable of doing it?” I sassed out making him glare at me in return.
“Fine than, I’d give you one of my top student. Zachariah Diaz, he is an acer in every subject.” My ears perked up at his statement. He wrote the name down on the form.
“When do we start?” I asked him in interest. The teacher looked at me in shock but soon adjusted his expression.
Ha bitch you thought I wouldn't approve? You were wrong.
“Not so quickly, first you need to ask him if he can offer you tutoring since he isn't taking in any students at this time, his schedule is tough and filled up with many students, I might appoint you some other kid.” He spoke but I stopped him.
“Sir, I will talk to him. But where will I find him?” I asked snatching the form away from him before he could cut the name off.
“Library, its his free period.” I nodded and exited the classroom.
Striding towards the library, I yanked the door open. The smell of fresh and old books entered my nose making me smile. I loved reading. Yeah I had a huge shelf of comics and every type of genre novels in my bedroom and no one knew about it.
Passing through the shelfs I saw him sitting with the girl from there group. What was her name again? Oh yeah Scarlett.
Walking towards them, I stopped when I reached there table which was piled up with various books and documents. The girl looked up from the book she was reading, her eyes instantly going wide at the sight of me. Dramatic much.
She nudged him, his orbs travelled up from the textbook until they stilled on me. I could see specks of green littered in the blue. His pale olive complexion brightened out his orbs even more.
“What d-do you need?” I heard an angelic voice from beside me. Giving her no attention I continued too stare at him.
Biting my tongue, I came out of the daze and slammed the form on the table. “I want you too tutor me.”
His blank expressions made my mood turn instantly sour. Raising an eyebrow he huskily spoke out, “No.” A muscle ticked in my jaw. “I suggest you tutor me before I fucking teach you a lesson for declining me, dipshit.”
No one says no to me. No one.
Intervening his fingers, he gave me his full attention. “Firstly learn some etiquettes than come asking me for my help.” His velvety voice churned my insides. “And secondly what part of ‘No’ you don't understand?"
Fuck.
“Never asked you for your opinion but you will tutor me one way or another.” I gritted out, leaning an inch closer to his face.
“No I wont.” He calmly replied. Brat.
Picking up his books, he grabbed Scarlett's hand and walked out of the library leaving me with my mouth agape. How dare he.
I hastily followed them outside. “Hey wait good for nothing nerd, are you a really that innocent? Or do you act like one?” I yelled, my voice echoing in the empty hallway. His steps abruptly halted. Ticked his nerve, huh?
He slowly turned around with an angry expression. Leaving the girls hand, he strided towards me in fast steps until he was a few meters away. Tilting my head I stared at him with a smirk resting on my face. He was tall, incredibly tall, maybe 6′3 or 6′4. Even if I was 5′7, my head reached till his chest.
“Stop with your comments or I’ll have.. have too report you,” he calmly said. I bit my lip. Hot.
“I bet most of the people have told you this but I will tell you again, you’re freaking cute.” A lopsided grin formed on my face when I saw a line of red tint caress his cheeks. Blushing. Oh gosh, so cute.
“I’ll come pester you after a week, adios.” I said as I walked away from him. My shoulder brushing against his toned arm.
I saw Scarlett looking at me with disgust. Giving her a wink I walked away towards the front door.
Suspension here I come.
Sitting in the garden with a book in my hand and a pair of airpods plugged in my ears was the best combination.Hometown smile by Bahjat bursting in my ears.My eyes kept on scanning the lines until it was dark enough to go back inside. Lifting myself off the swing, I hurriedly went inside towards the kitchen.Skipping through some cupboards, I came across my fathers favorite cupboard.He used to lock his food in it since me and my mother always liked to steal and than devour it. He had the best taste in everything. His cooking was just extra. Sighing I brushed past it. Sadness washing over my features once again.Grabbing a pack of Doritos and a glass of cranberry juice, I strided back to my room. I sat down on the overused bed making myself comfortable in it. Placing my laptop on my lap, I played an episode of Stranger Things. If you haven’t watched that show than you live under a rock, my friends. Munching on my Doritos I started to watch it. Hours later, I had finished the whole
A week had passed in a blur. In which either I was on the bed or I was in the bathroom with my head in the toilet. Yuck. Yeah you guessed it right, I was throwing up everything I was eating. I felt great. My mother hadn’t come back home, she just texted me saying that she was on a business trip with the client. Just like always she wasn't there to treat my disease.Sighing, I got off from my car and leaned against it for a minute, my head still spinning from all the vomiting. I hadn’t ate much since my stomach was contracting painfully from inside but I had to endure it. Endure all of it just like before. Before I could walk, a pair of arms engulfed me in a tight hug making me flinch hard. They immediately retracted their arms and stood infront of me. “I’m sorry!" I looked at the intruder and saw Flora standing with a frown on her face. “Girl, you look horrible.” She fake gagged. “I know that already.” I sighed and grabbed my backpack from the passenger seat. “Rough weekend?"We bot
“This project will consist of partners. I’ll be assigning the partner you’ll work with and I don't want any complaints, am I understood?” The teacher also known as Henry addressed to the class. A chorus of yes’s were heard.I took a side glance at Zachariah who was busy writing something on his notebook. He looked extra handsome today. He wore a pair of beige dress-pants and a white collared shirt which was folded up to his elbows. A silver chain hanging from his neck. Three rings rested on both of his hands and a black beaded charm bracelet.Are nerds that hot?His face looked so innocent. The glasses rested on the bridge of his nose. His soft pink lips were turned into a pout. Extra delicious. His hair was messily disheveled, draped on his forehead and eyes.Illegal.“Anna and Tyler,”“Cristiano and West,”The teacher called out names. Groans were heard in the room but my eyes were fixed on something special. And that special was him. Am I getting obsessed? Yes.“Linda and Bella,”
All my life I was running in circles. Running away from everything but still spinning back to the very same dark spot which had been swallowing me up from inside.But life has some unexpected turns and twists. Some are bad, some are good. The good ones only come when you pass the bad ones.Right now I stood infront of the library, hoping I could keep my headaches at bay. The migraines were coming back and I definitely was not looking forward to it.Sighing, I strided inside looking for the same dirty blonde head but to my avail there was no such head. My eyes trailed towards my watch that read 12:45. Was I late for the meetup? Yes. If you ask me the reason, I wont say it. Looks like he ditched me. Expected. A groan erupted from my mouth as I walked too the nearest table. Plopping myself down, I rested my head on the table. Closing my eyes, my mind drifted back to the dark hole. A hole from where you could never come out even if you tried.Life is entertaining too some.A flash of pa
The rest of the day had ended in a blur. I walked pass the streets, my mind drifted towards the last encounter with him.If you’re wondering where my car is; than let me rewind a bit back, some bitches who disliked me and my guts ruptured my tires. Yeah and that’s how I ended up here in the rain soaking from head to toe.Life is way too unpredictable. I was freaking cold. My numb feet led me through the neighborhood where the richest resided. Strands of hair were stuck on my face. My clothes drenched which sticked to me like a second skin and the skirt wasn't helping me either today. Lucky me today. The dark patch had been giving out a heavy amount of water. Trees looked like they’ll fall at any minute. Here, in LA the storms were bad. Very bad. Taking a few more steps I halted when I saw a familiar face talking too another.The person was smiling. A beautiful smile.Blowing out a shuddered breath, I continued my walk until my eyes met his. There he stood with a little girl in his
Zachariah;“She ish so pwretty.” Zinzi giggled as I tucked her in bed. “Really?” I questioned, more asking myself. “Yesh, just like a pwrincess.”“True.” I mumbled, not sure why.Kissing her forehead, I smiled at my little girl. “Goodnight baby and don't stay awake too late okay?"“Okay Zacky.” She replied and closed her eyes.Giving her another kiss, I exited her room and strided towards the lounge.These past weeks were weird. Whenever I saw her, she had her eyes latched on me. Scarlett was quite uncomfortable and always told me too stay away from her since she is a bad influence. But was she? Only time could tell. The time when Lilliana had lashed on her made her look weak but just for a second. Emotions had lingered in her eyes. She seemed conflicted. It felt as if she wasn't strong.Scarlett wasn't happy when she found out that I had to do my project with her. She maybe my girlfriend but she was too possessive. Sometimes she just wouldn't let me friendzone anyone other than her
Stirring in my sleep, I snuggled up in the warm pillow, feeling the warmth invade my skin. The sun beamed through the blinds causing me to stir in my place. I groaned as the first beam of sunlight hit my face making me wince, thinking who the fuck broke my tinted windows. And then suddenly I jerked up in the bed looking around my surroundings.Where the fuck am I? Soon my question was answered when Zachariah walked in with a tray of breakfast in his hand. “Oh, good that you’re awake.” He spoke making me tilt my head in confusion. “What am I doing here?” I questioned instead.“You don't remember?” He asked, placing the tray on the side table. I shook my head. “You fainted from high fever.”My turned into an ‘O’ shape as I scurried away from the bed and got up. A wave of dizziness washed over me as I crashed on the bed again. “Careful, there.” He said as he came towards me.“Fuck.” I mumbled.“You should rest.” He told me whilst I tried too stand up and this time I succeeded. “Uh, no t
Kicking the door with a thud, I walked inside my safe heaven. Several people sprawled over the place. Rap music blasted through the enclosed soundproof walls making the air more intense.A batch of light bulbs embedded in every corner of the roof. Seats, all around the huge boxing ring which was placed in the middle.The crowd screamed as the two men punched each other with full force.A twisted smirk emerged on my face as I strided downstairs towards the ring. The mask I had worn earlier made the entry more dramatic. I never liked my face shown to the opponent fighters. Gasps were heard as I passed the people murmuring amongst each other.The men who sat infront of the ring, probably the friends of the other party, looked at me with disgust. Bitches.Throwing my bag to the other side. I grabbed the rope and jumped in the ring. “Long time no see, Jason.” I smirked--making the fight halt. Looking over his shoulder, his eyes slightly widened in horror but was soon replaced with a smirk
Ten painful minutes.It had been ten minutes since I was sitting here in Mr. Diaz's office and him staring at me like a hawk.My lips parted, attempting to start a conversation between us but he was faster than me. "Sorry to call you here on a short notice but I have been wanting to talk to you alone, ever since I saw you earlier."I clammed my fingers around each other and I nodded, ever so slightly, replying, "what did you want to talk about?"His stare turned into the slightest glare, as he leaned back on the couch."I'll not beat around the bush, so let me ask you this straight, do you have a thing for Zachariah?"My breath immediately hitched and my a line of shiver ran down my spine, there and then.Did I have a thing for him? Yes. Maybe, even greater than the feeling of infatuation, but would I tell him---his dad? Simply, no. I just couldn't, not even to Emilia.I was about to deny, but he casually exclaimed, as if he knew what I was about to to do. "Before you reply, think wis
I stared at the wall.Stared and just stared.Well, what was I supposed to do? After he left me all hot and bothered.And to put a cherry on top, that fucker smirked, smirked!"Are you gonna sulk like an idiot?"My head whipped towards Flora who had a glass of red juice in her hand as she leaned against the wall with a lazy smile adorning her face.I gave her a quick scan over. She was now wearing the same dress, in which we had entered before."Party's over?"She hummed, coming inside, with my dress in her other hand.Why didn't I notice it before? "Change and be downstairs. Apparently everyone decided to watch a movie." She mumbled, throwing the dress and my pantie at me which I swiftly caught.I gave her a blank nod, not before asking, "won't you ask what happened?""Whenever you're ready because I'm hoping it to be extra juicy." She gave out a light chuckle and in return I rolled my eyes. "Horny fuck."She laughed out again and walked out, closing the door behind her.My lungs ex
The world around me felt insanely hazy.Black, and turned off.And honestly I did prefer it that way, after everything that took place in my life.It was beyond just the universe, and above the horizon."Celestina, open your eyes."My body slightly stirred up at the sound entering in my ears. "Open up." The voice again demanded yet again near my face and at the very same time it felt so far away from my reach."Why isn't she waking up?" The light airy whispered, providing me a sense of comfort.The other didn't speak, however they did touch my forehead and this seemed to clear the haze and finally my eyes peeled open.The first thing my eyes met, were the blueish green orbs I loved more than anything in this goddamn universe."Oh thankgod. Tina, you fucking scared us."I broke off the eye contact, and tilted my head sideways to see a frightened Flora, kneeling next to my body."Chill, Lora."She gasped and gave me her infamous glare. "Chill? If it weren't for Zachariah, you'd be out o
Three words; I hate attention.Most importantly, from those who looked like they'll punch each other dry."You, good?" Nathaniel sat beside me on the pool floor, with his legs dipped in like I had.My lungs expanded and I heaved in a deep sigh, before whispering, "why are they staring at me?"Nathaniel's brows scrunched as his line of sight followed mine towards the pool. Ryder, Noah, Zachariah were on one side while Alexander, Caleb, Ares and Apollo on the opposite. Funny, I had two Ares in my life---one that had kidnapped me, then saved me with his own hands and the other which was a jokester and a swimmer.The world is truly funny, no?"Just staring? I thought, they are glaring." Flora said, tilting her head up towards me.She was already in the pool taking in the coldness of it."Aren't you coming?" Apollo questioned for the fifth time.I shake my head. "No, not in a mood.""Common, don't be such a mood killer, pretty princess." Ares spoke from beside him, only for me to roll my e
"So how do you like party so far?""Pretty good, and specially love the tenders you grilled."Emilia let out a soft laugh, as she massaged a thick layer of sunscreen on her arms. "Oh darling, it wasn't me, it was Nathan, Zach and Roberto."My eyes scrunched at the last name and she instantly mumbled Zachariah's dad."Hold on! The infamous Roberto Diaz is your husband?!" Flora screeched almost too loudly, making her laugh yet once again. "Yeah the poor wife of his is me.""No wonder I felt your name a bit familiar." She hummed to herself and I found myself getting confused. "Is he that famous?"Flora nodded at my question. "Girl, the news has said he runs the biggest chains of hotels and restaurants. And not to forget he has this company, called D.Co, news--this is one of the largest operating systems here in U.S and all over Europe."D.Co, where did I hear this word again?"And they are like billionaires."Emilia continued to apply, with a small smile. "Money doesn't buy everything Fl
"Do I look okay?"Flora gives me prolonged stare. "If you say it once again, I'll fucking bash your head."I sheepishly smiled."Don't give me that. You already know you look hot, so why being self-conscious?"I shrug and lean backwards.The past fifteen minutes, we were sitting idly in the parking lot with several other expensive cars lingering beside us. If one thing I would comment on this family---it was, hella luxurious.And to put a cherry on top, we were more than half an hour late. Zachariah even called me a few times which I ignored to the fullest."It's about Scarlett, yes?"I close my eyes for a bare moment before opening them once again."Nailed it. But why?""I don't know...The way he looks at her is different from the way he looks at me."Flora sighs, giving me one of her best glares she could muster. "Babe, you should be happy that the way he looks at you is different." My eyebrows scrunch and she further elaborates, giving me her full attention. "Remember I told you,
He was here a moment ago, kissing me.I let out a strangled breath as I inch up, elevating myself with the help of my elbows."Now tell me, why were you crying?" He sat on the chair with his one leg draped over the other and his arms crossed over his chest.I sit, lowering my skirt to cover however my hand abruptly halt when he growled under his breath, daring me no. My gaze moved towards him and to my surprise I found him starring at me.I shrug and disobeyed him, hiding away the red from his stare, getting a grunt. "That was just not nothing, Celestina. No one cries like that.""Were you watching me?" I questioned instead.He quirks his brow in return.I heave a deep sigh and lean back on my hands, tilting my head up towards the ceiling. "You can go back to your 'i'm ignoring you' expression, it was much better."He scoffs. "Trust me, it was. Scar was begging me to come back to my original self and for some reason it cuts the tension you were giving me."I roll my eyes at the mentio
"Is he ignoring you?"My brow rose and I simply gave Flora a half hearted shrug. "Am I supposed to know?""Shouldn't you?" She interlinked her arm with me.I once again shrug. As we both walked side by side towards the ground to attend our free period, my mind took me back to the day after we had done our shopping. It had been three days? Or could be more, since I barely saw him afterwards. Either he wasn't present or either he perfectly ignoring me. Whatever it was, it was messing with my brains.Oh and did I forget to mention? My mum wasn't a tad bit surprised when I told her I boxed to get the frustration out of me and that those men were the ones who messed with me and my friend's club, infact her chest had swelled with pride.Weird? I know right."Let's grab a ball or something?" She asked and I shook my head in a no. "Maybe you could go and play, I'll just sit for a while."She gave me a quick side glance. "And you think I'll leave you all alo---""Flora, our practice!" Two girl
Hot, fucking hot.Almost like a flowing lava that could burn your flesh.My eyes remained fixed on his, as I pressed the intercom and mumbled the burning sentence. "Can you bring a sheer lace one, in the color, red?"If he was going to play the game, then why would I fucking back down?The specs of blue moons in his eyes were glimmering with an emotion I couldn't put my finger on. The white light brought the rough lines of his face to life and for once he looked extra sexy---not that he didn't look everyday but today mine was an exception.I liked the way he was pressed against me. The softness of my body molding against the hard rigids of his. It felt nice...good.Zachariah stared deeply into my eyes for a brief moment. And then he tilts his head backwards. "Aren't you a freaky one?" He whispers against the soft silence.My finger leaves the intercom. The same hand travelled up his chest in the slowest way possible. "And you are not? Boyfie. Others might not know but you are hiding s
