"How about this one? I'm sure it'll look great on you" Amaya chirped happily as she eyed the leather skirt. I groaned, why did I agree to this?. She dumped it in my arms with the other clothes she had given me to try out.
" I just wanted to buy shampoo" I pouted, she pinched my cheeks " Aww too bad, you also fell into my trap" she said sweetly. I glared at her as I went into the changing room. I wore the first clothing, a really tight jean shorts. I came out with a bored expression. Amaya grimaced "you look like Kenzie" I rolled my eyes and went back to change. And that's how I wasted three hours testing clothes that I would probably never wear in my life.
Amaya was about to pay when she suddenly stopped and looked at me, " what?" I asked " this is the part when you stop me from paying for you" she said in disbelief. I raised my eyebrows " but I'm not so carry on..." This girl is really crazy, she ex
I was called to the principal's office later that day and got away with three days suspension, just because I defended myself. I was currently sitting on my bed, staring at the door. My mom would be home anytime soon. She and Amaya have tried calling a couple of times but I ignored all of them. Soon enough, I heard my mom drive into the driveway, " Jennifer! Come down here now!" Mom yelled from the living room. I dragged myself out of my room and went down to meet her.She was pacing around in the living room, she was still wearing her lab coat and stethoscope. I stood at the end of the stairs. Her glare moved to me, " Tell me it's not true Jennifer, you didn't get suspended" she said. I didn't say anything, " what came over you? Is that how I trained you?" I looked at her." Train me? Mom you didn't train me, you were never around or have you forgotten? I spent my childhood with my nanny. So don't e
" Present" he answered and walked in, the girls started arranging their hair and boobs while the guys just murmured to themselves. I, on the other hand just stared like a fool. " Why are you late?"" Something came up" he said casually as his eyes moved from the teacher and stopped on me.The air in my lungs escaped as if someone sat on my stomach with force. I looked away from him and pretended to be reading about the world war. He started walking towards his seat behind the class, " no Morgan, you are not going to seat down there again""What? Why?" He asked irritatedly.I looked up again, " you'll be seating beside Jennifer" my pencil broke in my hand and silence filled the air. " What?" He asked again, " don't question me Morgan take a seat" Mr Peter said sternly.Reece clenched his fists and exhaled, I noticed he does it to calm himself. " No"" look
Rap...rap...rap. My eyes snapped open just when I was just dozing off. I almost screamed when I saw the silhouette of a guy, ohmygod a burglar! I quickly took action by jumping out of my bed and grabbing my lamp to whack the thief on the head till he drops dead.I stood beside the window and raised the lamp. One foot after the other, the guy entered or rather staggered into my room. I gave out a war cry before bringing the lamp down but the guy jumped away before I could hit him.He moved into the moonlight and I saw his face properly. The lamp fell from my hands as I was in shock. " Reece?" He just blinked and staggered backwards. I rushed to help him before he would hit the ground.The smell of alcohol and his cologne invaded my breathing space. You know all those movies where the guy enters the girls house smelling of alcohol an
"Jennifer Greene" she snarled " McKenzie" I said and tried to walk around her cause I wasn't ready for her bullshit. She grabbed my arm tightly, " listen here--""Jennifer" we both turned our heads towards the voice. He looked at me, then at Kenzie and then her hand around my arm.She let go of me and engulfed him in a hug. " Reece I missed you" she said but I don't think he was listening to her cause he was looking at me. I felt awkward just standing there so I walked away from them even though he was still staring at me.Luckily the bell rang, so I hurried to class history. Just as my ass touched the seat, I remembered that Reece was now my seatmate, " oh no" I whined and rested my forehead on my desk.Soon the classroom was filled with the insignificant chattering of students. He wasn't here yet so I prayed to God that he wouldn
To say I was nervous was an understatement...I was terrified by the way Amaya was moving her makeup thingy all over my face. I just wanted to get this over with. " And done...oh my gosh you're so pretty" Amaya gushed even though she was the one who did the makeup. I opened my eyes and saw a different person in the mirror...staring right back at me.She was the complete opposite of who I was. She looked bold and beautiful...well the make up made me look like it. Amaya had kept the make up simple, but stunning. My lashes looked longer and my lips were covered by red lip matte lipstick, she made my cheek bones more prominent...I looked stunning..." Woah...what have you done to me?" I whispered as I got close to the mirror. She chuckled, " I simply enhanced your natural beauty with my magic wands" she waved her make up brush and other sticks I didn't recognize.
Jennifer Greene" You're not supposed to be here" he said, I frowned and pushed him away. What is this guy saying, " Fuck off, you can't tell me where I can be and where I can't be, I won't let you control me ever again" I said and pushed past him towards the door. But before I could open it, he grabbed my arm and pressed my back to the door.I gasped at our closeness, he stared at me intently. I swallowed and started feeling a little sober. " Let me go" I breathed out, he smirked " I will only let you go when I get you home" he said. I tried to push him off but he wouldn't budge. " Why do you always do this to me? Why do you always try to control me?" I asked quietly. Anger and sadness boiled in my blood.He was silent, " I'm not trying to control you"" then let me go" I whined. He suddenly looked angry, " you think I'm not tryin
" Great just great, what am I going to do?" I said in fustration. Her door was locked, her parents weren't home and she didn't have her keys on her. I stood by her front door for another five minutes, contemplating between taking her to my house or breaking her into her's.A groan escaped my lips, when I realized how stupid the second plan sounded. I entered the car and drove into my driveway. I'll just let her stay for the night. Just for the night...I got down and carried her inside my house with no struggle since she was weightless. I laid her down my bed and took her heels off. She stirred and frowned a bit as if she was uncomfortable. I think I should get that dress off her..."Wait that sounds wrong on soooo many levels" I said, but I can't let her sleep in that complicated thing.I groaned, "this is going to be a long night" I mut
Too close, too close. I could feel his minty breath against my lips, I felt self conscious all of a sudden. He tilted his head and continued staring at me. " You said that my eyes were beautiful and hypnotising " my eyes were now as round as saucers, " no""and you said you'd drop dead if I'd just smile at you..." He said."T-that's a lie, I-I would n-never say anything like that" I stuttered, he smirked at my flushed face, " I would never make stuff like that up, sweet heart" his voice was low and....sexy. I blushed even more and looked away from him."Aww don't be shy Jenny, I've always known you had a thing for me" he said and leaned closer, our noses we're touching. My heart hammered loudly in my chest. I started struggling in his arms, " no I don't, let me go Reece" I said, he wrapped his other arm around me, carried me and dropped me on the counter. I tried to get down, but he s
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.
