2024-06-29 16:05:12At Lunch
The three of us are sitting under a huge willow tree behind the school gym. It's the only place that's quiet enough that we can have our lunch, and a great conversation and not feel like everyone is breathing down our necks. Most of the school prefers the cafeteria so that's a no-go zone for me. "Are you okay?" Tamrin asks tapping my hip softly. I look at her and blink a few times to bring my mind back to the present. I realised then that I'd zoned off a little. I smile and nod, which makes her frown. "You know, you'd be very pretty if you put in some effort," Presley says coming to stand between Tamrin and I. "We'll talk later," Tamrin whispers to me as her cousin squeezes between us. I scooch over giving her the space she's so openly demanding. I don't have the time or energy to argue with her about how rude this is." I mean you could let your hair down every once and then" She says moving her hand to touch my top bun. I move my head out of reach and she chuckles. I look at her angrily not sure what gave her the idea that she could do that. I hate when people touch my hair.
I didn't give her permission. "Would you leave her the hell alone," Tamrin says grabbing Presley's hand and moving it away. "You're always starting something with someone." She adds and Presley shrugs like she didn't do anything wrong. "I'm just trying to help." She says looking at me like I'm crazy for not taking her unsolicited advice. "I don't need it," I say and she scrunches he face at me. "Wel, honey if these two won't tell you the truth I will." She says disregarding everything we just said."You need to let go of that scruffy look. It's not ladylike. And no man is goin' to take any interest in you if you don't" She says looking at me and then at Tamrin and Sadie. "I'm good. I don't need any man looking at me " I say and she gasps as if I insulted her. I almost laugh at her reaction because how dramatic can one person be? "That is bullshit and you know it." She says and I laugh. "Who doesn't want to be adored and worshipped by a man?" She says looking at me like there's something deeply wrong with me. "Me," I say and she says gasps again. "You are a downright liar. All of your friends are dating and you expect me to believe that you're not in the least bit envious of that?" She asks and I shake my head. "It's either you're lying to me or you're dead inside because I would never live like that. I need my man." She says and I sigh. I get this reaction every time I tell someone I don't have a boyfriend or don't desire to have one. It's like I'm damaged and need to be fixed."You don't have a man, Presley," Sadie says and she waves her comment away.
"Yes, I do," Presley says and Sadie shakes her head in disagreement. "We might not be an official couple but at least I'm getting some," Presley says and I sigh sadly. How can someone settle for this?Related chapters

"Sex is not everything," I say and she laughs out loud like I said the funniest thing in the world."Only people that don't have sex say that." She says sticking her tongue at me. I chuckle a little because Presley is sure the sun rises and sets in her ass. "Wait!" She says as if she just realized something. "Are you a virgin?" She asks squealing at me. "Yes," I say and she gasps like I am an alien that's vile and needs to be killed."OMG!!" She says and then she touches my shoulder. I look at her hand on my shoulder and then I look at her again. "You've got to be kidding me. She adds and I shrug at her statement and shock."Am I supposed to be ashamed?" I ask confused by her behaviour."Yes!" She says and I groan, annoyed. "You're a good-looking girl. When you try. "She says pointing up and down at me."No," I say disagreeing with her."T

There's no one happier than me at the end of the day. I love walking out of these gates. I have to admit it wasn't the best day but I'm glad it's over. "Celeste" I hear a very familiar voice say as I start walking home and I curse myself for not wearing my headphones. I could have pretended to not hear him and walked away. Now I have to acknowledge him. I look to my left and there he is. Liam! He's leaning against his car like he owns the world."Yes." I say with so much annoyance in my voice it shocks me. "How are you?" He asks and I sigh."Why?' I ask and he laughs. He takes a few steps towards me and I take a couple away from him. He stops walking raising his arms in defense. I stop walking and he takes a deep breath and then he lets it out. "I'm trying to be kind," He says and I shake my head at his answer. "And I just want to say hi. Like normal people do." He says and I frown."I'm not normal," I say and he nods."I see that." He says and I laugh. I catch myself and then I

When I get home I am hit with this heavy feeling of loss. I can tell my mother hasn't moved from her bed since I left for school this morning. That means she didn't go to work again. I don't even know if she still has a job. Her work bag is still on the kitchen counter. The breakfast I made is untouched and all of the curtains are still closed. I open them and warm the food I left for her in the microwave. Then head to my bedroom. I have to start on my game plan for getting my grades up. I would love to go check on my mother but I can't place my energy on her right now. Seeing her is going to drain me completely. And if you didn't notice I am holding on by a thread. I open my bedroom door and stare at the pile of clothes on the floor, the unmade bed, and the overall mess."Well, this is bad," I say to the empty and messy room. I throw my book bag on the bed and attack the laundry on the floor. I separate the clothes in matching colors and then I make my bed. A part of me wants to

I walk through Jimmy's front door with my earphones on and head straight to the line leading towards the counter. There are six people ahead of me. I should spend about 15 minutes here and then I'll have my food. I turn up the volume in my headphones so I won't hear any noise around me.There are about 20 tables in this place and just about every one of them is full of humans. Some are staring at their phones pretending to be together, while some are talking over each other trying to be louder so the other can hear. Socializing is weird, why do people even bother? I don't do it unless I'm absolutely forced to.It's too time and energy-consuming for my liking. I shuffle forward grateful that I am finally making progress. I let my mind drift to the five-page essay I have to finish. I'm halfway through and determined to finish it by morning. It's the first assignment I want to submit, and then I'll deal with the rest.I feel someone tap my shoulder lightly and I turn slowly. I look ba

I stand there for a moment, processing the interaction. Liam's sudden appearance and departure leave me feeling disoriented. I shake it off and step forward as the line moves, my mind bouncing between the essay and the encounter. I'm too stressed out to be dealing with all this.Liam's newfound interest in me is the main thing that gives me the most stress. Why won't he leave me alone?Finally, it's my turn. I order my usual—to medium pepperoni pizzas with extra cheese—and pay the cashier. They give me a number and tell me it'll be about ten minutes. I find a corner to stand in, away from the tables and the people.I can see Liam sitting with his friends or it could be his minions out of the corner of my eye. I turn my back to the right so I don't look at him by accident.I hate the fact that he intrigues me. He shouldn't, people like him are dangerous. He sells drugs for a living. He has people that steal and kill for him.

I force myself to sit at my desk and focus. The glowing screen of my laptop seems to taunt me with the blank document. The essay is due tomorrow, and it’s not going to write itself. With a deep breath, I start typing.My fingers fly over the keys, pouring out the arguments and points I’ve been mulling over for days. I’ve done the research; now it’s just a matter of getting it all down. Every so often, I glance at my math textbook, the assignment another weight on my shoulders.I take a short break after finishing the introduction and the first couple of paragraphs. The essay is taking shape, but I still have a long way to go. I stretch, drink some water, and take a moment to clear my head before diving back in.Hours pass. I’m lost in a haze of words and numbers. The clock on my desk ticks steadily towards midnight, but I barely notice. I’m too absorbed in my work, too determined to get everything done. The essay is nearly complete, and I feel a surge of satisfaction as I type the fin

I wake up to the soft glow of the morning sun seeping through my blinds. My body protests as I drag myself out of bed, every muscle sore from the all-nighter I pulled. I groan as I force myself to face the day. The events of the night before feel like a blur, but the sense of accomplishment remains sharp and vivid. I quickly take a shower, change into fresh clothes, grab my book bag, and head out the door forgetting about breakfast and my mother. I want to submit my assignments before the school day starts.The cool morning air wakes me up a bit more as I walks to school. The campus is quiet at this hour, with only a few early risers scattered around. I make my way to the English department first, my mind racing with thoughts of my dream about Liam. I shakes her head, focusing on the task at hand.Ms. Thompson, my English teacher, is already in her classroom, organizing papers and preparing for the day. She looks up in surprise at me as I walks in.“Celeste? What are you doing h

After lunch, I make my way to the library, seeking a quiet place to gather my thoughts and get a head start on my next set of assignments. The library is almost empty, the usual lunchtime crowd having already dispersed. I find a secluded corner near the back, away from prying eyes and curious whispers. I pull out my notebook and textbooks, determined to make the most of this quiet time.I stare at my physics assigment and sigh. I am going to be dead by the end of this week. High School Physics Assignment: Projectile MotionObjective: Understand the principles of projectile motion by solving problems involving the kinematic equations and analyzing the trajectory of a projectile.Instructions: Complete the following problems.

I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 170 - His game
I wake up to the soft hum of the air conditioner and the unfamiliar feeling of silk sheets against my skin. My body feels both heavy and light, a strange contradiction that sets in as I shift onto my back and stare up at the ceiling.It takes me a moment to register where I am.Trevor’s house. Trevor’s bed.The memory of last night rushes back so fast that my breath catches. I squeeze my eyes shut as images flood my mind—his hands, his mouth, the way he shoved his dick into my mouth. The way he pinned my face into the mattress, grabbed my hands on my back, and rammed his dick into me as I screamed over and over in both pain and pleasure. He fucked me so hard my pussy is pulsing from the force. Goosebumps rise along my arms.I don't know how I feel about what happened last night. He didn't
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 169 - I gave in
The warmth of Trevor’s hands on my waist sends a slow shiver up my spine. The night air drifts through the open doors, cool against my flushed skin, but his touch keeps me anchored, keeps me warm.I don’t think I’ve ever felt this wanted before. Not like this.Trevor’s fingers trace slow, deliberate patterns over my hip as I lean into him, my head resting against his shoulder. The soft glow of the pool reflects in his eyes, turning them darker, more intense.“Tamrin,” he murmurs, my name a gentle sigh on his lips.I lift my head to look at him, my heart hammering. His gaze flickers over my face, lingering on my lips, and I can feel the pull between us—strong, undeniable.I don’t resist w
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 168 - The stars are bright
The night feels like something out of a dream. The kind of night I used to fantasize about when I imagined falling in love.Trevor’s arm is wrapped around me as we sit on the sleek, oversized sofa in his living room, the soft glow of the dimmed lights making everything feel warm and intimate. In front of us, the massive glass doors are wide open, letting in the cool night air. Beyond them, the infinity pool stretches out into the darkness, reflecting the stars so perfectly that it looks like the sky has spilled into the water.I sigh softly, sinking deeper into Trevor’s body, letting his warmth surround me. His fingers trace slow, lazy circles on my arm, and I close my eyes for a second, just breathing him in. Everything about tonight has been perfect. The food, the atmosphere, the way he looks at me like I’m the only girl in the world.
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 167 - Roses are red
I straighten my cuffs, taking another slow glance around the room. Everything is set. The air is thick with the scent of fresh flowers, an overwhelming mix of roses, lilies, and whatever else the florist shoved into the dozens of arrangements I ordered. They’re everywhere—on the dining table, lining the staircase, covering every available surface. It’s ridiculous. Over-the-top. Makes my stomach turn.But Tamrin will love it.She’ll step in here, eyes wide, heart fluttering, and she’ll believe every single thing I want her to believe. That she’s special. That she’s different. That I’m different when I’m with her.I roll my shoulders back and check my phone. The car is five minutes away. Good.

I watch Sadie storm out of the coffee shop, her shoulders tight with frustration, her steps quick and uneven like she can’t decide whether to run or turn back and scream at me some more.I exhale slowly, running a hand over my face.She’s got fire, I’ll give her that.Most people don’t talk to me like that. Not without regretting it. But Sadie? She didn’t even hesitate. She came in here ready to fight, ready to beg, ready to do whatever it took to save Tamrin from Trevor.And honestly?I respect it.But I also know that kind of desperation gets people killed.I lean back in my chair, stretching my arms over my head as I watch
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 165 - I'm freaking out
My heart is going a thousand miles an hour. I stare at Liam, my mouth slightly open, waiting—begging—for him to take it back. To tell me I heard him wrong. To say something, anything, that doesn’t sound like a death sentence.But he just sits there, completely still, watching me with that cold, detached expression, like he’s already made peace with whatever nightmare is about to unfold.And that’s when I snap.“What the hell do you mean it’s already too late?” My voice is sharp, loud enough that a few people glance in our direction. I don’t care. “Why would you even say something like that?”Liam doesn’t react. Doesn’t flinch. Just keeps staring at me like I’m wasting my breath.
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 164 - I'm going to confront him
My hands are clammy against the warm ceramic of my coffee cup. I haven’t taken a sip in minutes—maybe longer. The coffee shop around me is alive with soft chatter and the clinking of spoons against porcelain, but all of it fades into the background as I stare at him. Liam.He’s sitting at a table near the window, legs stretched out, one arm draped over the back of his chair like he owns the place. Maybe he does. People know who he is. People fear him. And yet, he looks so... calm. Casual. Like he’s just another guy grabbing a morning coffee.Except he isn’t.He’s one of the most dangerous drug lords in the city.And I’m about to walk up to him and ask for help.My heart is hammering in my chest so loud I’m sure the barista behind the counter can hear it. I take a shaky breath and look down at my untouched drink. What the hell am I doing? This is insane. I don’t get involved in things like this.
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 163 - He's my boyfriend
I take a deep breath before hitting the call button. My fingers feel stiff like they don’t want to move, like my body already knows this conversation won’t go well. But I have to do it. I have to check on Tamrin. Ever since I spoke to Celeste, I haven’t been able to shake the feeling that something is really wrong. Celeste tried to play it cool, but I saw it—plain as day. The fear. The panic. The way her whole body went stiff when I mentioned Trevor’s name. She knows something about him, something she wouldn’t tell me.The phone rings twice before Tamrin picks up, and the moment I hear her voice, I know I’m too late.“Sadie!” she sings, her voice light and full of excitement. “Oh my gosh, I was just thinking about you.”I press my lips together, already feeling the unease creep up my spine. “Hey, T. I wanted to check in. How are you doing?”“Oh, I’m amazing,” s
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 162 - What's the plan?
I watch them from a distance, keeping my footsteps light as I follow up the trail. Trevor doesn’t even realize I’m here. He’s too caught up in whatever game he’s playing with Tamrin, too distracted by his own arrogance to notice the eyes on him. He used to be sharper than this. Back when I first met him, back when he was still trying to prove himself, Trevor never slipped. He never let his guard down. But now? Now he’s making mistakes. Now he’s sloppy.Tamrin giggles as he carries her up the trail, her arms wrapped around his shoulders like she trusts him, like he isn’t the worst kind of danger she could be walking into. He’s using her, and she doesn’t even see it. It makes my stomach twist. She’s just a pawn in whatever this is—whatever he’s planning. And if I know Trevor, it’s not about her. It’s about Celeste.I clench my jaw, keeping a steady pace b
