When they came back, they found that the entrance of their room was… a little crowded. Confused, they stepped into the room and saw Opal was smiling foolishly at them. They closed the door, separating them from the crowd outside and again turned to examine Opal.
“What happen–” Layla stopped abruptly. Her attention was attracted to the new item placed in their room. Though she knew what it was yet that thing was still alien to her.
When Layla stopped speaking suddenly, Lani also traced her line of sight and ended up noticing that thing too. “What’s this, Opal.” She couldn’t help but turn to Opal who was still smiling proudly or foolishly, she had no way to confirm.
“Cooler.” Her cheeky reply came.
“That’s not what I meant.” Lani shook her head. Of course, she could se
I know it's a little late but... Happy new year *^____^*
[WARNING: Following chapter includes bullying. Some dialogues might be explicit.]***Bored and tired, Layla was roaming aimlessly. In fact, her aim was to find a quiet place and spend some time there alone. Thus, recalling those “exotic spots” of school, Layla moved her legs to her destination.She was imploring her fate not to make her meet any pair of lovebirds. Because it is easy to chase away a class skipper but witnessing a pair of lovebirds sure makes things awkward. Just the thought of the eerie atmosphere lovebirds create was giving her goosebumps. Rubbing her arms, she moved quietly, afraid to witness a crime scene.Her fear came true when her ears picked some noises coming. ‘What is it this time?’ Rubbing her forehead she hid hers
The days were passing quietly as usual with their same boring schedule.And, those three got used to the changes in their life.Now Opal wasn’t as clueless as she was at the time she just joined.Caleb had accepted the position that was tossed to him. He proved his friend’s words true which made everyone in the student council relieved and satisfied especially Layla who was unable to find the proper candidate for a long time.And, as for Zou Haoran, he was passing his time leisurely. Since there was no need for him to worry about attending classes, he was free to do whatever he wanted to do. It was funny that he was most lawless yet associated with minor lawmakers in the school. It was like he was just a step away from being a tyrant.
Layla was munching on her snacks. Since she was going to cheer up for Ryan then she’ll do it with her energy refilled.“Did Ryan eat something before he left?” she asked Lani who was also staying back to support Ryan. She remembered that she had asked him to have something in his tummy but she wasn’t sure whether he obliged or not.“I… guess so.” Lani gave an uncertain answer. “He told me that he will after finishing something important… maybe he has eaten something at some other place like the canteen.” Though Lani wasn’t completely sure but since he said so she decided to trust him.Layla nodded and picked another packet to open.Catching her breath, Layla looked at the watch as she just ar
“Oh, my my, is it not our ‘famous’ vice-president.” A sharp mocking voice reached her ears.This mockery filled voice made Layla’s ears stand and her legs still. After a few seconds of hesitation, she turned around to find the source of the voice.She knew that one day it was bound to happen and one day she had to face it no matter what. Since it was her who chose to work here then it will be also her who will bear the consequences. For a long time, she prepared herself and from a long time she was preparing herself.Roaming her gaze she saw two young girls wearing a vicious look on their faces. One glance and it was sure that they are up to no good. ‘They must be the source of that voice.’ she concluded inwardly. Layla stood there, silently, waiting for them to make t
Looking at her slightly tired reflection in the mirror Layla let out a heavy breath. Coupled with the pain in her waist she faced a troublesome morning today. And now, she had to go to the sports ground. After all, soon it will be time for her race.She raised her head to meet her own eyes. Yesterday’s events were still playing in her mind making her sigh again. She remembered that Zou Haoran stopped the bike in front of a hospital, making her dumbfounded in the process.Tired at the shop, she didn’t pay any attention along the way, making her miss the fact that this guy was heading to the hospital.She asked him to go to the pharmacy. Did he assume something on his own? It was then she was forced to narrate the whole incident to him and the purpose behind her request.
After resting yesterday and this morning Layla was feeling much better and now her most concerning situation also has passed she decided to come to work today. Anyways it was a holiday after the sports day and Layla couldn’t stand her roommate aka friend Lani asking her too many questions.When Lani questioned her earlier she somehow managed to brush her off. She only told her how she was injured but didn’t inform her anything about the drama that took place before that.Reaching her destination she opened the door only to be greeted by a surprise… or shock. She was stupefied to see many of her acquaintances from school waiting here to welcome her.She could feel too many gazes as if they were ready to pounce on her and tear her apart. “Uncle, chase away whoever isn't here to buy anything ye
Opal was relaxing in the room. Wearing a light green top with black shorts, she was lying on her tummy with her legs dangling in the air. She looked beautiful and that carefree smile of hers was enough to steal hearts. While Lani, who was also present was lying on one side of her body. Her hand was supporting her head as she was staring at the screen of her phone. Her long black hair was beautifully scattered on her body and bed making her look like an exquisite art. Everything was fine but all of sudden something unexpected happened which shook the whole room. “AHH!!!” Abruptly, Opal screamed at the top of her lungs. Her soft feet landed on the floor and with the speed of lighting, she ran out of the room, barefoot. This scream’s impact was a little too powerful. La
“Aren’t you getting late now?” Ryan asked helplessly as he saw Layla was still busy clicking pictures even after Zou Haoran arrived. On top of that, she had made that guy her photographer. He was speechless. What Ryan didn’t know was that Layla was charmed by Zou Haoran’s photography skills thus she unleashed her full desire today.“Just a few more. Till then, you focus on your thing.” He could hear the underlying message in her tone. He shook his head inwardly as he remembered when he was sulking on how he was forced to come here, he received a message. Taking out his phone he saw Layla texted him. “Do something to your face. It’s making others uncomfortable, especially a certain someone.”He raised his head and found Layla gesturing to him with her eyes. From then Ryan reluctantly let go of his anger
‘What a beautiful girl.’ Jealousy surged inside them. Seeing such a breathtaking face they wanted nothing more than to ruin it. But they couldn’t let their emotion run wild, not in front of Zou Haoran, their ultimate target. Maintaining their smiles, they shifted their attention from Zou Haoran to Layla. “Hi, my name is Ava.” “Hi, I’m Mia.” “Layla.” A curt reply came out of her mouth making them feel that she was putting on airs. But, the truth was Layla wasn’t willing to be a part of their act. Thus there was no reason for her to play accordingly. ‘Too too arrogant,’ they complained inwardly. Hearing Layla’s cold tone that was devoid of any emotion turned their mood somewhat sour but they could not give up so easily especially when they had seen from the far how friendly Zou Haoran was with this rude girl. Therefore, left with no option they had to please her as this guy blatantly refused to corporate with them. “Nice to meet you, Layla.” They replied with enthusiasm as if they
Reaching near the door Opal noticed something unusual. "Hmm, why it's dark?" She questioned herself as she slowly pushed the door.“Happy Birthday!!” Both the girls shouted in unison as one of them also pressed the switch. They had a big grin on their faces as they took note of every expression Opal made in seconds. They could guess that Opal was very much pleased by the surprise they had prepared for her and it could be considered the first step to success.Opal’s eyes widened in surprise. She checked the time and it was already 12:01 am. ‘It’s my birthday.’ She reminded herself as her eyes sparkled with joy and a pure smile bloomed on her face.At first, her family also used to wish her at midnight but gradually things changed as her sister started to get busy with work and her parents started to go to bed early with aging. Though her family would always make her day awesome enough that could make others jealous but she missed this feeling. She missed those midnight birthday wishes.
“It’s been many days honestly I was waiting for some reaction or an ambush, given how much I angered him.” stirring the fork in noodles Layla exposed the doubt in her heart, “Do you think it was normal that he didn’t come to find me?” She really thought that he would come to find her and seek trouble. She clearly read it on his face. That is why Layla was so confused. “You should watch fewer dramas,” Ryan commented in a monotonous tone as he maintained his deadpanned face. Although he said so but he was also worried about Layla crossing paths with him accidentally or intentionally. For the past few days, he was paying special attention to this matter. He even went as far as hacking some cameras of nearby public places but he didn’t find anything. And he didn’t know whether it was a good thing or bad. Layla rolled her eyes and continued eating while maintaining silence. She would never be able to guess that that man was sent to the police that very evening by Opal’s people. He was a r
“Ah!!” “Oww” “Sorry” Layla apologized timidly to the second ‘ghost’ she accidentally punched after entering the building. “It-it was a reflex action.” She added hoping to lessen the ghost’s resentment. No one knew whether her action was really an accident or a deliberate act. Ryan snorted at the scene unfolding in front of him. His actions made others recall the words he uttered before entering the building. Now they realized how foolish they were to think that he was scared. “You will have to walk in the middle. And that's final.” He added before she could utter any word of protest. He did not want to give more workers a chance to gossip about a certain crazy customer they got. “You seem to know vice-prez very well, pre
When Layla followed behind Opal she saw a man passing by Opal and laying his hand on her inappropriately. This made her mind short circuit for a second. Layla flew in rage. Without wasting time she kicked that man hard, making him fall in the process. “Oye!! What’s wrong with you?” He raged out. His face flushed red seeing a girl glaring at him furiously. Apparently, he also guessed that she saw something she shouldn’t and that made her react like this but no way in hell he was gonna admit a thing if she dared to question him. When he was gloating inside about how he would deal with her and her questions, something unexpected happened. Layla, again, kicked him making him unable to steady his foot successfully. “What’s wrong…?” she sneered. “I’m just doing
