last update Last Updated: 2024-11-09 14:52:40

Author's point of view...

After finishing her meal, Thea stood up to leave when Aaron held out his phone to her. She looked up at him raising one of her eyebrows, a bit confused.

“What?” she asked, puzzled, as he flashed a gentle smile.

“Can we exchange numbers?”

Thea hesitated for a moment, surprised by his request. After a brief pause, she took his phone and entered her number. Then, as if it had started a trend, Kevin and Mark did the same, adding her contact as well.

Thea was still processing the scene.

Were they friends now? How had this happened so quickly?

She hadn’t anticipated forming friendships just by coming to the cafeteria, and that, too, the friends she just made were none other than the famous unreachable three. The three most handsome and rich boys. This was quite unusual, isn't it? And this is definitely going to attract attention.

But later, she noticed they'd added her on social media as well, which only confused her further. Though these three ha

    Author's point of view... "Sidekick...!!" Thea heaved a sigh, looking up again. Britney looked pitiful. Is she willing to be my sidekick?? Thea wondered internally. "This trouble maker never did anything serious other than occasionally bullying Thea, it's not so bad to have more friends. Besides, Thea didn't have any elves to serve her in this life. It's never so bad to have someone" Thea thought to herself before mumbling out casually. "Fine...but I don't want a dog with a wagging tail. We can be friends though" Britney, bursting with excitement, called out, “Sure!!" This was more than what she had expected. She instantly grabbed Thea's hand so tightly but Thea wasn't used to this kind of behaviour. She smacked her hand slightly and was about to push away that bag as well but the allure of the treats was tempting. Instead, she nodded to Britney, managing an awkward smile. “Thanks for this. I will keep this as your good intentions. Class is about to start. Go ahead

    Author's point of view... Aaron pulled a folded paper from his pocket and waved at her. "What is that?" Thea exclaimed, puzzled. That couldn't be a love letter or something, right? There was no way a boy like him would ever like an ugly girl like her. She thought to herself before coming to any conclusion. He slowly unfolded it and showed her the last question on it. Of course...! What else can anyone expect from a bookworm like Aaron, it was a practice sheet. “I’m working on this math problem, but the final question is tough. I couldn’t finish it,” he said, pursing his lips. He did find the answer but he wanted to test if Thea could solve it. After all, she had come up with many different and complex solutions to that question earlier. He was just curious about her knowledge. Thea heaved a sigh, this was good. At least he doesn't have anything weird in his mind. She glanced at the paper and gave a quick answer, "Oh...isn't the answer to this a zero??" Aaron stared

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 16 There are still some honest people...!

    Author's point of view... Right after the long bell, Thea walked out and spotted Aaron waiting by the entrance. He stood in a corner with his hands crossed, looking as handsome as he usually does. His presence was enough to gather a crowd. Girls from school, juniors or seniors, all of them circled him in no time at a distance, though no one dared to come near him. He was so annoyed. Thea walked slowly to him and he waved at her. The girls around him stared at her with disdain. Why would he wave a hand to an ugly girl like him? Is he blind? But then they saw Lily exiting the campus. "It must be Lily...!" they concluded and left in a hurry. Everyone knows that Lily is a psychopath, a troublemaker, and is so possessive about Aaron. Who would dare to mess with her?? Thea reached him looking anywhere but him. That felt so awkward. He grinned at her. She hated being the center of attention, and with this boy beside her, she was the center point, of course. "Hi," he said smili

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 17 Uncle...

    Author's point of view... When Thea left Amelia's house, her mind was full of all sorts of thoughts. She never thought that a rude and introverted girl like him would belong to such a poor and humble family. While walking back earlier, Amelia's granny told Thea that Amelia's parents died in a road accident and they both were alone. Thea felt so bad. Though Amelia never treated Thea as a friend, she never bullied her either. Deep down, Thea wanted to help Amelia and her family. She took out her phone and checked her bank account. Though her parents weren't so rich, they both had jobs and earned a good amount of money every month. Her father sends a hundred dollars per week for her pocket money and credits her meal card every month. In other words, through a middle-class family, Thea lived a comfortable life in terms of money. She looked at her phone and saw that she had more than five hundred dollars in her account. Should she go back to the granny and give that mon

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 18 Something else!!

    Author's point of view... Uncle again... Dave managed to keep a straight face as he heard Thea call him “uncle” again. He was just twenty-four years old this year, and she might be sixteen or seventeen. Besides, he looked younger than his age because of his breathtaking appearance. How could she probably call him uncle...?? This girl...! he muttered to himself. Wasn't she trying to ask for his help? Why would she annoy him if she truly wanted his help? While part of him was amused by her audacity, another part found it slightly irritating. Still, he said nothing, leaning over to sign the register as her “guardian,” his handwriting firm and swift but his eyes never left that round and bubbly face. She was laughing at him for the faces he was making. The more time he spent with Thea, the more intrigued he became. She was unlike any girl he’d encountered, caring yet defiant, and mature beyond her years. "Okay then. See you next time, officer...oh... I mean, uncle..."

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 19 May be...!

    Author's point of view... Their teacher announced about the school weekend trip that evening. He wasn't that interested but he can use that as an excuse. Taking his phone again, he typed a message. Making it as casual as possible. "Hey, did you find any other friends to team up with for the weekend trip? Or will you group up with us?" "It felt casual enough," he assured himself and sent it. But as the seconds ticked by and no reply came, he started overthinking. "Is she ignoring me? Did I mess up?" Breaking his thoughts, Kevin looked up and announced, “Oh, by the way, don’t call anyone to join us for the weekend trip. I already invited someone.” Aaron froze, immediately frowning. “No way, Kevin. I already have someone in mind. Just tell whoever you asked to find another group.” Kevin and Mark turned to Aaron, startled by his serious tone. It was rare to see him invested in teaming up with anyone outside their small circle. They exchanged glances before Mark spo

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 20 Unexpected visitors...!

    Author's Point of View... Every year, Morning Star High organizes a field trip for the students instead of traditional cultural activities, believing that kids are more excited about excursions. This year, they planned a hiking trip to the nearby hills, and all the junior classes were invited to participate. Since it was a hiking trip, the boys were particularly enthusiastic, while the girls had their own plans for an outing. The Blue Ridge Mountains, known for their stunning natural beauty, boast over 130 species of trees and 1,600 plant species, making them a crucial part of the local ecosystem. Just a few hours from Virginia, the Blue Ridge is a popular tourist destination where visitors can witness breathtaking sunrises in the morning and a sea of clouds at night. The mountains are dotted with hotels, gaming spots, as well as camping and hiking opportunities, attracting many young adventurers. Everyone in the class was excited—except for Thea. She would have preferred to

    Author's point of view... "What's going on? Are you here to ask for money?" Nick didn't expect this when he opened the door. He quickly pulled Bella behind him, using his slender frame to shield her from half a dozen burly men. In truth, he was terrified. The leader of the group spoke loudly, his voice booming. "If not for the money, why would I come all the way here?" The man shot a look at Thea while her mother was taking her away and sneered. "If you want, you can anytime offer that chick as a repayment. Hurry up and bring the cash or I will take that chick...!" The huge man blurted out and all the other men behind him laughed out loud. Thea frowned. Chick...! That man definitely has a death wish. Nick hid his trembling hands behind his back, trying to conceal his fear. He said to Bella, "Why don't you give Jordan a call again and ask him what's happening?" Bella was so scared she was on the verge of tears. She stammered, "I did... His phone's off." Nick k

    Author's point of view... Thea tensed up. If that leopard were to attack Aaron instead of chasing after her, it would be a disaster. Aaron could be in dire danger. Just as the thought occurred to her, she instantly turned around to run back but spotted the beast ahead. Thea heaved a sigh of relief. At least, it wasn't after Aaron.But wait...! Was she faster than a leopard? How come she didn't notice that her running speed had increased so much?Thea then realised that this was her reward. Speed...!! "You are so concerned about that young boy...Hmm..." Mike sneered inside her mind and Thea gritted as she could sense disdain in his tone. "Of course, he is my friend after all. I do care about him. Now just shut up and let me deal with this one" Mike didn't talk after that. Thea climbed up and stood on a tree branch, gazing down at the black leopard prowling below, with a confident smirk. She could talk to it but that leopard was too furious to understand anything.

    Author's point of view... Thea was the first to stand up. Lily didn’t expect that it would be Thea out of all who would believe her, and neither did the rest of the group. Thea stood right beside her and said very seriously, "Let's go, show me the way..." Everyone was dumbfounded. "You really want to go back? Lily probably saw something and thought it was a leopard like last time. She was scared silly. When she yelled, we all got freaked out and ran, only to realize later that we were lost. If Aaron hadn't come looking for us, we’d probably still be stuck out there," Serra said. "So, there is no leopard?" Thea said, raising her eyebrows. Her words triggered Lily and she instantly smacked back. "There is a leopard in there!" Lily was getting frustrated and said to Thea, "If you don't believe me, let's go, I'll show you!" Thea replied calmly, "Okay." Lily was determined. She wasn't about to back down when it came to proving her point. Bravely, she led Thea toward the

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 33 Let's go. Show me the way...!

    Author's point of view... "What reward?" Thea asked, curiously. She had been given many special abilities as her rewards so far. She could talk to animals, sense dangers and she was now so curious to know what next. But no matter how curious she was, Mike wouldn't give her any clear explanation as ever, would he? "You'll get to know when you complete the task," he said lazily. Thea rolled her eyes. She wanted to smack that annoying little dragon with her bare hands. "You became so lazy, Maria. Come on, go ahead and complete the task..." Mike urged. Heaving a sigh, Thea was about to stand up, but suddenly, a thought occurred to he,r, and she smiled. She then turned to Aaron and said, "Forget about the bet. As long as you promise me to go and find those troublemakers now, I promise to give you a good challenge in the coming exams." Aaron thought that he had misheard, "What?? Who are you talking about?" "Lily and her minions...." Thea said dismissively. She woul

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 32 Danger?? What danger??

    Author's point of view... The sky gradually darkened, and the forest’s dim light became even fainter. Thea glanced at the sky and hoped that everyone would remain safe through the night. "This is the spot," Aaron announced as they reached a small platform, studying the map. "It’s a transfer point and the best place to set up camp. There’s a town nearby where we can resupply tomorrow. Everyone, find a good place to pitch your tents now before this area gets crowded." Soon the other hikers joined them to set up their camp. The teachers, however, had big tents whereas all the others brought small ones. Their tents occupied almost the entire platform. Mark and Kevin had already taken out their tents. Mark approached Aaron and Thea, saying, "Kevin and I will head to the town to buy supplies. You two stay here and set up your tents." Kevin hurried to them and asked, looking at Thea in particular. "Do you need anything? I will buy it for you" "No need. I have everything t

    Author's point of view... Lily gave her friend a look, and her friend immediately understood. Serra made a gesture with her thumb, then took the bag off another girl and walked up to Thea. She didn't need anything, Thea is always easy to bully, anyway. "Hi, I'm Serra," Serra said forging a fake smile. Thea, who was walking in the lead, turned around and looked at her from top to bottom, scrutinizing. "What do you want? Do we know each other?" Thea asked nonchalantly. Serra's smile faltered momentarily, but she kept her act going. "Yes, of course. I know you. Don't you remember me? We're all classmates, after all. We played together a month ago." Serra's eyes flickered as she collected the memory; even a playful smile tugged on her lips. "We had quite the fun back then," she mused. Thea narrowed her eyes as the flashes of her past entered her brain. During one of the sports periods, these Class A girls had forced Thea to crouch before them and howl like a dog. Ever

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 30 Do we know each other...?

    Author's point of view... Thea stood up and strolled towards the nearby stream, seemingly bored but her eyes widened as she looked down on the wet ground nearby."Oh my..." She had noticed something alarming, a set of fresh foot marks of the same beast that she saw earlier, near the water’s edge. Unlike the other one, this print was clear and fresh. It was clear that something was present in those woods and that animal was in the area, possibly even close to their planned route. She slightly bent over to take a better look. "It must be a Leopold or a Panther...! It's huge..." Thea mumbled while studying the print. "What are you looking at, Thea?" Kevin asked, coming over with his plate, still in his hands. She jolted awkwardly and frowned. "Can't you be normal just for once...!" she smacked. Kevin grinned. He couldn't...!! "Are you looking for fish? There's probably no fish in this stream, right?" he said peeking into the stream, oblivious to what Thea was truly o

    Author's point of view...! "You are really something." Thea scoffed, "You actually mistook a plastic bag for a giant beast or cat or whatever?? Lily, are you so bored or really that scared, or were you just looking for an excuse to jump into Aaron's arms?" Thea taunted. Lily’s cheeks turned bright red, and she glared at Thea furiously. "What are you implying, Thea?" Thea casually threw that plastic cover aside and brushed her hands. She didn't say anything else but that look on her face gave it all. "Exactly what I said," Thea responded calmly, meeting Lily's angry gaze without flinching. Kevin started giggling. Lily’s embarrassment deepened, and she quickly tried to defend herself. "So what if I thought it was something dangerous? It was dark inside those bushes and I was genuinely frightened. Who wouldn’t be scared of a wild animal?" She threw a glance at Kevin, who was equally rattled earlier. "Didn't you see that. Kevin was scared too," she added with a smirk.

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 28 She was here to cling on to him...!

    Author's point of view... "Help!" Several cries for help came from the forest, that sounded like women. What the hell...! Who is that? Could it be some animal chasing after the other students? Everyone thought except for Thea, who was busy arguing with Mike. "Did you just say cat? Then why are people shouting out there?" "You'll get to know soon"Mike replied casually. Thea rolled her eyes in irritation. He never gives a reliable explanation. But if that was a wild animal as what she thought, this would be dangerous. Thea stepped forward, ready to attack whatever was coming but Aaron rushed to her and stood right before her as if shielding her from any danger coming their way. "You all stay here, I'll go check it..." Aaron stood ahead and was about to go take a look. "Help..." "Help...!" someone cried again. Kevin immediately grabbed a stick from the ground. "Who's calling for help?" Mark tensed up as well, looking around with wide eyes. "I don't have an

  • I'm Ready To Take It All   Chapter 27 A cat...! or something else...?

    Author's point of view... “Don’t fall too far behind, okay? And if you need help, just call us... We will be slow to keep up with you...” Aaron said while wearing his own backpack. Thea was amused at how much Aaron underestimated her but played along. Is that because she was a girl?? she scoffed internally. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep up.” She didn't want to show off but it didn't mean she wasn't offended. Soon the school buses arrived at the first camping spot after them. Though the same mountain, there were several routes to hike. Aaron had planned a special way to go up, different from the other usual one that the school authorities had planned to take. The group began their hike. Kevin, full of energy, kept darting around and calling out, causing Thea to stifle a frustrated laugh. He had been picking up small pebbles and throwing them at Thea and Mark. He was getting on her nerves. Heaving a sigh, she stopped. She wanted to play with him. “Stop yelling, Kevin!” she
