"Princess? " I quickly threw on a black shirt and pants before opening the door and jumping into my dad's arms. He stumbled a little but was quick to steady himself. " I missed you so much dad" I said, he chuckled and put me down " I missed you too" he said and ruffled my hair.
Being happy was an understatement of how I was feeling right now. Finally dad returned after a week from Paris where he went for some work.
We went downstairs together, " morning mom" I greeted as I went into the kitchen. " Morning honey, are you feeling better?" She asked and I nodded. She smiled and continued pouring the pancake batter into the pan.
Dad came into the kitchen and gave mom a light kiss on the lips, "yuck" I grimaced they both laughed at me. " Guess what I got for you"dad said with his hand behind his back. " I'm not a guesser" I stated flatly, his smile dropped, " you j
I walked down the half empty hallway to the cafeteria, I opened the door and went in, as usual I drew the attention of some students. I kept my head down until I got to the lunch line. " I'll have a sandwich and a bottle of water " I said to the lunch lady. I got my food and went to the far end of the cafeteria, where I usually sat with Amaya.I had just taking a bite out of my sandwich, when something suddenly hit my table with a loud thud, I jerked and fell off my seat. The whole cafeteria burst into fits of laughter, just great. " Oh my God I'm so sorry" I looked up and saw that guy from this morning standing in front of me with a worried expression and a hand stretched out to me.The cafeteria went silent, I just stared at his hand. My eyes wandered to where Reece sat, he was already daring me with his eyes. I looked back at Jordan's hand, I'm so going to regret this later. I placed my hand in hi
I rushed out of the house cause I was running late for school. I got into my car, and put the key in the ignition but it didn't start. I tried again but nothing. I got out and raised the hood. I froze when I realized the battery of my car was missing."What?" I ran my fingers through my hair in fustration. "How did this-" realisation hit me hard. Reece must have done this, but how? The car was working fine when he gave me my keys." How am I supposed to get to school now?" I was on the verge of crying. The bus must have already left. I did some breathing exercises so I wouldn't cry.When I was calm, I decided to walk to school. Which would take me forty minutes to do that. By the time I got to school, it was already second period. I grabbed the books I needed for class and went for class.The teacher was already halfway through the lesson when I walked in, " and where were you miss Greene
I skipped across the field of flowers happily. I hadn't felt so alive like I did right now. The cool breeze blew around me. It felt like the perfect moment to sing.Altogether I felt like Belle from beauty and the beast. I opened my mouth to start singing but I was cut short by someone calling my name. Turningg around I met the blazing eyes of my calcus teacher, Mr Whyte. What is he doing in my dream? "Jennifer Greene!" He practically yelled in my face."Why are you here?" I asked him angrily," Jennifer!" He yelled again. " Geez stop shouting, you spitting on my face, you annoying old hag" I muttered. "Ms. Greene, get up this instant!" My eyes flew open and my ears were greeted by the laughter of my classmates. I sat up straight when I noticed, the teacher fuming in front of me. I gulped," I said that out loud, didn't I?" I muttered half hoping I didn't. But by the way they were all laughing I knew I did.I didn't need to be told to
Another weekend. I'm so glad mom and dad are coming back tomorrow. At least the house won't feel too lonely, I won't feel so lonely.A sigh escapes my lips as I settle on the couch. I turned my attention from the tv to the pouring rain outside. A smile graced my face as I remembered my not so eventful childhood I spent under the rain, playing by myself.I was about to face the tv again when a figure staggered into the road. I frowned and slowly creeped to the window. The guy, I assume, staggered closer to the street light. I gasped when I saw who it was. Reece?My heart clenched at the sight of his staggering figure. I wonder what happened to him?.... seriously you're worried about him? He's your bully! My subconscious mind screamed in my head. No. He might be my bully but that doesn't mean I shouldn't help him.I grabbed an umbrella and went out of the house without thinking twice. I walked to where he was st
I let out a sigh of relief once I was in the safety of my home. I walked into the kitchen and dropped the paper bags of groceries on the counter.After stocking the food items in the fridge, I dragged myself up the stairs to my room. " Maybe I'll just lay down for some minutes" I said to myself. I opened my room door and walked in, " welcome home honey" I jumped in fright and turned around. My heart was beating faster than the drums from a rock music.I had my hands on my chest and my back pressed to the door. There on my bed laid Reece Morgan in all his handsome glory, shut up Jenny. "W-what are you doing here? How did you get here?" I stuttered stupidly. He smirked in amusement, " I never knew you as one to stammer sunshine" he said and turned on his back.I gritted my teeth," leave" I said. He turned over so he was lieing on his belly, he had a slight
Monday morning came so suddenly. It felt like I just blinked last night and boom! Monday arrived. I dragged myself to my bathroom and did my morning routine then I dressed up in some black ripped jeans and a baby pink sweatshirt with a kitten on the front, I slipped on my black and white vans. I packed my hair up in a ponytail.Soon I heard Amaya's horn blaring impatiently. I rushed out of the house and locked the door, I hopped into the passenger's seat. She had a wide grin on her face, it was freaky. "What's up with the grin?"I asked.She shook her head " I just can't wait to show those assholes that this bitch is back" she said sassily, I rolled my eyes and took in her outfit. A sleeveless white chiffon top with studs around the collar tucked in a tight short leather skirt then some white converses. Only she could pull this look off." I see you're wearing a very interesting outfit" I said, she smiled " this is my 'I'
I waved Amaya and entered the library. I'm supposed to be having classes but our teacher called in sick and the principal couldn't find a substitute. Yay!I'm glad, physics was never really my best subject not that I don't pass, it's just fustrating and excruciating and soul draining.Scanning through the shelves of books for something interesting to read, I spotted William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. I hate the book but I've read the others many times and I've also never read it.I pulled the book out of the shelf and immediately wished I hadn't done that. I stood frozen as I watched the scene playing through the hole where I took the book from. It was Reece and Kenzie... sucking each other's faces.My heart clenched a little. Someone cleared their throat from behind me, I turned and met a nerdy looking girl, the libra
It's monday again, yeepee! Do you feel it? My excitement for going through another week of hell. Mom and dad are back, now that I'm really glad." Honey you're running late!" Mom yells from the living room. I grabbed whatever clothing I could and slipped them on then my white converses. I grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs like a mad woman.I entered the back seat of my dad's land Rover, " Women" my father mumbled while mom chuckled. The drive to school was enjoyable as dad told me tales of how mom used go come late to school but mom kept denying it, hah! And she's the same person who quarries me."Bye Mom bye dad" I said as I climbed out of the car, " come give your mother a hug" I sighed and gave her a hug through the window, then I got trapped in her peck of doom, people were starting to look at us. " Come on honey let her go" dad said " but I'm ju
Eight years later... Amaya's eyes followed me back and forth as I paced around my office nervously, " Your pacing is starting to get on my nerves" she said and crossed her legs on top of my desk. I stopped moving and faced her, " I'm so nervous. My heart feels like it's about to jump out of my chest. My palms are sweaty and I have butterflies in my tummy" I told her "oh I didn't notice" she said and rolled her eyes. Then she sighed and dropped her feet, " I know you're nervous but you need to calm down" " The easier said than done. Amy, it's been eight years since I last saw him, you can't expect me to be calm. I'm super worried. * Gasp* What if he doesn't recognize me?" I asked with wide eyes. Amaya scoffed, " I highly doubt it. Just because you lost contact with him two four years ago doesn't mean he'd forget you" I paused " You're right. I should just be calm. Yeah I can do that" I reassured myself. A slight kno
The news of Reece apologizing to our teacher was the new topic of gossips by the end of third period. I rolled my eyes once again at the over exaggerated story. It was merely an apology, why do teenagers always make things seem dramatic.I understand that it's surprising since he was always rebelling against the teachers, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of apologizing. I sighed as I passed yet another group of gossips who were leaning against my locker. I recognized some of them as those bratty rich kids in my class, " I couldn't believe it! I swear it sounded foreign coming from his mouth"" He apologized, what's the big deal?" I voiced out. The group of five turned to me, the girl who was speaking crossed her arms, " What?" She asked " What's the surprise there? Reece is human, is he not? Why are you guys talking as if he's a god or something?" I asked.She raised her eyebrows at me, " Who are you even?--oh wait! You're that girl he us
That same evening...JenniferAfter hours of unnecessary shopping, I was finally back in my warm cozy space. A sigh of content escaped my lips as I was finally able to get all my homework done. I smiled to myself and strolled over to my bed to sleep. Mid jump, I was interrupted by two knocks on my window.Already knowing who the intruder was, I opened the window and let him crawl in, " This is getting old" I told him. He took off his shoes and jacket and dove under my covers, " Ah...warm" he murmured. I rolled my eyes and joined him, " So what's up?" I asked.He fell silent for a second, " Well...my dad...he wants me to come home.." he said " Do you want to?" I asked. He shrugged, " I don't know.. I feel like I want to and also don't want to..." He paused and spoke again " I want to forgive him...but...okay I got nothing..I really want to forgive him" he said.I smile
Jennifer " Is it just me or has Reece been on the low recently?" My ears perked up at the mention of his name. I know eavesdropping is bad, but they're talking about Reece. I pretended to write while I listened to the girls behind me. The other hummed, " Yeah...I've noticed it too...the school's been quiet...it's like he doesn't even exist anymore. Super weird" she said. I frowned in thought, ' that's true. He really has been off the radar and I hardly see him around school'. Just then, he walked into the class nodding at whatever Severn was telling him. As he walked closer, the girls behind me stopped talking. He looked at me and smiled a little then went to seat at the back. " OMG...did you see that? He smiled at me!" One of the girls silently squealed and the other joined her. I rolled my eyes at their delusion and returned to doodling. My phone vibrated, I looked at the text and smi
Jennifer" Ah~" I sighed as my bum touched the hard, yet comfortable seat. I'd been dancing for a while so my feet hurt, I needed a break. I looked at the sea of dancing bodies, sipping my drink and chuckled when I spotted Amaya as she was trying to escape from Jason. Young love, so innocent.Suddenly, the chair beside me was pulled back and Reece sat down on it. He smiled a little, " Hey..." He mouthed over the loud music. I smiled back and looked at his fireman costume, " Nice costume" I leaned over and said " Thanks, you too. You look hot" he replied with a wink. I rolled my eyes and sipped from my drink.Reece grabbed my hand gently, " Can we go outside...please?" He asked, wearing a serious look. I nodded after a little hesitation and followed him out of the hall into the now bright hallway.The music faded as we went farther away from the gym. Honestly, I felt so scared as I followed him.
JenniferUgh! This week has been so hectic, from annoying tests to enormous amounts of homework and projects. But thank God it's all over, " hahaha..."" The hell..? Are you crazy or sum?" Amaya asked when she heard me laugh. I smiled at her, " I'm so happy" I said " What? Did Reece ask you to be his girlfriend?" She asked and sipped from her drink.I scowled at her but still blushed, " Of course not"" Why not?" She asked again. I sighed, " We don't think it's a good idea at the moment. I know it's just forgave him and all, but it's too fast" I told her. She nodded in agreement, " You're right. It would be too soon" she said." Hello ladies" a familiar figure sat beside Amaya. I raised my eyebrows and smiled when I noticed the blush on Amaya's cheeks. " Hi" I greeted him, he smiled at me and then faced Amaya, " Aren't you tired of running away?" He asked her, " Who's running away from what?" She asked back.I
JenniferAmaya sighed for the nth time as she looked at the costume I had put on, "Ugh...this one doesn't fit either"" I told you it wouldn't" I said. She scoffed, " You look like a freaking giraffe"" You picked it for me!" I snapped at her.I was frustrated to say the least, " This is getting tiring" I grumbled as I went to change into the next costume. I slipped on the pirate costume, with the hat, eye patch and everything. I came out of the dressing room to show Amaya this one, but guess what? She wasn't there!" That little wench" I gritted out and was about to stomp back into the changing room when a familiar face appeared in front of me, "...Jason?" I called. His searching eyes landed on me and then he smirked, " Ah just when I thought I was seeing things....where is you bestie? Is she still running away?" He asked. I frowned and asked, " Running from what?""From me, of course. I guess you already kno
JenniferAfter leaving Reece, I locked myself in a stall in the bathroom and face palmed myself till my forehead was bright red and stinging. To say I was embarrassed was an understatement. I felt like begging the ground to open and swallow me up.I wondered why I said all those things to him. I'm sure he thought I was weird, but then again I felt extremely relieved. I was able to tell him all the things I've always wanted to tell him.But still, I think I sounded a bit too cliche and mushy. Did I over do it? Though his expression seemed off. I sighed and leaned against the wall, " All that's left is to wait and see how he responds" I mumbled.The bell for the third period rang, almost scaring the shit out of me. I quickly washed my hands and face and ran off to my class.*****"I can't believe he'd really do such a thing! What a jerk! And t
JordanI packed around the empty cafeteria as I waited for Jenny to arrive. I knew this wasn't going to end well right from the beginning, but I still did it. I'm such a fool. By now I'm sure Jenny already knows the truth, but it can't hurt to try and talk to her, right?A groan escaped my lips and I ran my hands the my hair. I had never thought that I would do such a thing like this in my life. Honestly, I have no idea what made made me do it.Maybe it was the way she always looked at him, her eyes would have a little twinkle in them. What annoyed me the most was the fact that he liked her back. I couldn't stand it.He bullied her yet she still wanted him, even though she'd deny it if you asked her. It boiled my blood that someone like him still had her heart in his hands. I wanted it, so I did what I thought was right. Who knew that asshole was smart enough to record everything.
