Grace's pov:I was sitting on my bench gazing out of the window thinking about Joshua. He said I deserve every happiness but do I? He knows nothing. He knows nothing how I'm a burden to my parents. A failure to Mrs. S-- whatever. An undeserving person to everyone. And in all of them he thinks I deserve happiness and I deserve the world. Hah! What nonsense. Only he thinks this. 'Because he is the only one after Candice who cares for you.' my inner voice mocked me. I gazed at the red rose in my hand which he gave me. Was I still holding it? He gave me this beautiful red rose thinking how much pure I'm but he doesn't know I can ruin this rose by my darkness. Because I'm an unlucky charm to everyone. I turned my head to back and saw him talking with Brandon and laughing quietly so the teacher won't catch them. I again turned to the window not knowing what to think so I put that rose in between my new book and closed it to secure the rose between the pages. Yeah new book because I've n
Joshua's pov:"What do you want to talk to me?" I asked the trio being confused. "Wait for it, what's the hurry?" Dylan said smirking.The trio went to a bench placed in that empty classroom and sat on it. And signed me to come and stand in front of them. I nodded and went infont of them. "Don't waste my time and say fast, I have to be somewhere." I said getting impatient remembering Grace is waiting for me. "Why are you in so hurry today?" Alex asked amusingly. "Is that bitch Grace waiting for you?" Lucas said. Listening to him, I snapped my head towards Lucas. "Don't say like that about her." I said gritting my teeth. "What will you do? If I say so?" he asked raising his brow. "Saying who got afraid infront of her." I mocked the trio remembering how their mouths sealed when Grace came infront of them that day. The trio's jaws clenched and Dylan grabbed my collar pulling me towards him he spat " We are not afraid of her, Just because she is the daughter of school's trustee we
Joshua's pov:Candice snapped her head towards me pleading with her eyes not to tell anyone. I smirked at her and ignored her. I turned to Brandon and saw him frowning. His face tuned pale. "Why is your face colourless bro?" I asked taunting him. "Me-uh I'll tell the truth Joshua just don't tell anyone." he said defeated and joining his both hands in front of me. "Tell me the truth fast or I don't know for how less time my mouth can be shut." I said showing him my two fingers with a little distance almost making an "O"."You see just a little time away from opening my mouth." I threatened him playfully. Sweat started to forming on his forehead so he started spitting out "Candice is my boyfriend and I'm his girlfriend, she proposed me one day."I sniggered at his nonsense blabbering and trying to control my laugh very badly. Seeing me laughing he realized what he just said. So he corrected his mistake saying "Candice is my girlfriend and I'm his boyfriend, I proposed her one day."
Grace's pov:I chocked on this bloody sandwich and he started caressing my back concern laced his eyes. I'm so embarrassed. 'Can't you eat properly.' My inner voice yelled. "Why are you embarrassed? It happens." he said smiling at me softly. "How do you know what I was thinking?" I asked surprised. "By seeing your expressions I guessed." he shrugged. I nodded at him and turned my gaze to the blue sea, taking a bite of sandwich. He took out some packet of chips and extended them to me. "What?" I asked. "You can eat them also." he said glancing the packet of my lap. "No I'm fine." I said not want him to think that I'm troubling him. "No, you are not troubling me." he said grinning at me. I snapped my head at him. "Do you read minds?" I asked raising my brow. "I don't know but I can read yours." I said and winked at me. I moved his gaze from me and set on the sea. He also took a bite from his sandwich. His brown hair were flowing by the cool breeze blowing. His eyelashes flut
Grace's pov:Sweat started forming on her forehead. Why so tensed about this necklace? "So am I getting a bicycle or not my lovely mother?" I grinned at her. "See you girl first give me my necklace back." she said gritting her teeth. "Nuh-uh." I said showing her my palm. "First I want my bicycle then I will return your necklace." I said deadpanned."Y-yeah I will buy you the bicycle now give it back." she said stuttering. "No I don't believe you first my bicycle then your necklace." I said. "B-but----" as she was saying I cut her off "No ifs and buts first bicycle then necklace, simple deal." I sad and started walking upstairs to my room twirling the necklace in my finger. "KEEP IT PROPERLY." she yelled from downstair.Huh! Like I care if it broke.I went inside my room and threw the necklace in the drawer of my study table and locked it hiding the key in he bathroom cabinet. Excellent Grace.You are genius. I went to my bed and plopped down on it. What did Josh doing now? I
(Sunday)Grace's pov:I woke up and sat on the bed. Finally it's weekend and I can go for cycling with Joshua. I'm unexpectedly excited. Cycling with Joshua is the only thought in my mind today. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. I peek out of the window and saw the weather was very nice. I decided to wear a plain black t-shirt with grey joggers. I look my myself in the mirror. Am I looking too simple? Will Joshua think I have bad fashion sense? Why am I behaving like a lovesick girl? Fuck it! I pushed my thoughts aside and tied my hair into the ponytail. I took out the key from the bathroom cabinet and went into my room. I unlocked and opened the drawer of the study and took out the precious necklace of Mrs. Anderson. But for me it's a piece of shit. I gazed at the necklace and smirked.I went downstairs and saw Mr. and Mrs. Anderson having breakfast. They are home today because ofcourse it's Sunday. My footsteps caught their attention and they
Joshua's pov:After practicing for quite a long time now she is doing it perfectly. And her bicycle is also not disbalancing now. So I also climbed up on my bicycle and riding beside her on it. "It's very amazing I'm loving it." she said enjoying the her time on the bicycle.I smiled at her. "So wanna do a race?" I asked her. "No thanks I'm not that much perfect in it." she sad and rolled her eyes. I chuckled at her. I extended my hand to her and said "Give me your hand.""What if I fell down?" she asked gazing at my hand. Thankfully she didn't denied directly. "No you will not keep your one hand secure on the handle and give the other one to me." I said to encouraging her.She did as I said and put her hand in my hand. I smiled at her and we keep riding like this holding hands. After an hour when we got tired we stopped at a cafe. It was almost evening so I decided to eat something. We entered the cafe and sat in the booth. "What do you want?" I asked Grace. She shrugged at m
Joshua's pov:Yesterday was a very beautiful day for me. The way Grace and I enjoyed together. She was behaving normal with me. I think now she is letting me in. Infront of me she started letting her guards down. She stopped pushing me away. I know I irritate her a lot but now she never lash on me like before. I never asked about her parents or family because somewhere I knew she is sensitive on that topic and I want her to tell me by herself. If she don't want to then it's completely fine. I just want to make her feel special and warm. I want her to know her worth. That she is also wanted by someone and that someone is me. Yes, I want her in my life without any doubt but I don't want to make her uncomfortable so I never told her about it. I want her to know it by herself by understanding me. I know there is some reason that's why she is so cold and distant but that's her call to tell me. As I inludge in my own thoughts I reached the school and entered the main gates. I went to the
