My brother and I have always been close, so close that sometimes I dress up like him so that we can hang out in all boys places and we can play twins. At first, it had been a problem especially because I had gone on a date with his girlfriend on his behalf because he was sick. He had been so pissed off but he got over it and over the time, it became fun for him too. It was all fun and games until my brother got sick and my parents had to send me to this town to leave with my grandmother while they travel the world looking for the best hospital for him. I don't know his illness, they never told me but I guess it's something serious. I miss my brother's presence so much that when I got to this new town, no one knows that I'm a girl, except my grandmother but I also hid my style of dressing from her. At home, I'm the perfect granddaughter but at school, I'm the drop dead gorgeous badboy that every girl wants to date. It was so cool, so cool and I was enjoying the attention until one day it all changed. The day I met him. Xavier Grey, the new transfer student and Teresa's -my girlfriend- cousin.
View MoreI stood in front of the school, my eyes scanning everywhere with chatting students, this is it, I’m really in a new school, “we will call you honey, take care of yourself and your brother,” mom said behind me and I just nodded. “We love you,” she added.I knew she wanted me to respond but I didn’t even look back at them, rather I took a step forward and then another. I heard the car leave and that was when I turned, “I love you,” I sighed and turned again to my new school, alright school, here I come. I breathed through my mouth and matched towards the school.I passed three guys sitting on the pavement and heard them whistle, “my, my, dude you didn’t tell me we have a new chick in school?” One of them said.“I didn’t know either,” another replied, making me roll my eyes.“But it’s not too late,” I heard another say before I felt someone coming after me. I wanted to increase my pace but I stopped myself, what the hell? This new school isn't going to change me, nuh uh. If he dares anyt
A boy meets a girlSome people may like that word called moving, but I don’t. I don’t think I like moving at all, the boovs may jump at any sight to move away but I am going to scurry away from any mention of it. Opening my eyes to the sunlight on my face, I sighed, here we go. Another day in a new town, and I’m going to go to their school, meet new people and trash those that need to be trashed. I pulled down my bedcovers and forced myself to sit up on the bed, looking at the unpacked boxes in my room, I am reminded of my reason for hating to move. The stress of packing and unpacking is so annoying but tell that to my parents. It’s like moving day was invented the day they were born, I haven’t lived in a single town for more than three years without us moving, some we spent only six months and at seventeen years of age, I have lived in five countries and ten different towns, yep, it’s a world record, I know.I heaved another sigh and got up from the bed, I walked to the window and d
Nathania’s POVAfter a week, Oliver was discharged and they went back home. It’s been three weeks since Nathania came back home and two weeks into the summer vacation and neither Teresa, Xavier, or even anybody from school have tried reaching out to her. She tried not to let it affect her, believing it was for the best but every day, every blessed day, she missed Xavier and just wished that he would text her, just one text to ask how she was doing. Was that too much to ask?“Nana, don’t forget to take out the trash,” her mom’s voice came from the living room and she sighed and dumped her plate in the sink. After a second thought, she decided to just rinse it off and dry it. She placed the plate in the dish holder and opened the trashcan. Taking out the bin bag, she tied it close and lifted it out. She took the kitchen door outside and walked to the front yard to dump it there.“Guess I found the right place,” she heard behind her and froze. She will know that voice anywhere, she has l
Nathania’s POVNathania was surprised when she came home that day and saw her parents already waiting for her. She knew they would be coming for her that week but she never thought it would be so soon, but then again, guess it was for the best. After all, with what she did in the school that day, she doubted if she could bring herself to go back there. And so, she had welcomed her parents and willingly packed her bags for their departure the next day.All through the night, she had thought about calling Xavier but she didn’t know if he had unblocked her or not. She had done what he wanted, no, what should have been done, she just hoped it wasn’t already too late, and someday, just someday, he would come to find her, to tell her that he had forgiven her and give them a chance once more, she just…wish it.As the plane landed at the airport, Nathania closed her eyes and breathed in the Philadelphia air, it was good to be home but it would have been better if she had resolved everything w
Xavier’s POVXavier had walked into the cafeteria but was shocked to see Nana standing on a table and not just that, he happened to hear what she was saying. Just hearing her speak, even though she didn’t really tell the truth about their dating, he could understand why would say that, she didn’t want Teresa to know that they had been stealing kisses with each other when they were still dating. She had wanted to keep his relationship with his cousin pure and he was grateful. Hearing what she had to say about him, a smile graced his lips and he knew then that should she ask for his forgiveness again, he would willingly give it to her.When she walked up to him, he thought she was going to talk to him but when she walked past him, he was surprised, he had an inkling that maybe she wanted him to come after her, and despite knowing that, he didn’t go to her, he wanted to see what she would do next. Besides, she hurt him so much, shouldn’t she pamper him?Xavier paced around his room with
Nathania’s POVEveryone started whispering just as Nathania knew they would, after all, they all witnessed Xavier kiss her and she didn’t push him away. Nathania smiled, “I know what you all must be thinking, ‘what is he saying? Is he out of his mind? Is he calling us blind? I mean, didn’t we witness Xavier kiss him?’” She chuckled.“Since you know that, why are you lying, then? " a boy asked, and the rest concurred.“The thing is,” Nathania began, “Xavier isn’t gay too.”“Oh fuck off. Listen it’s the twenty-first century, no one cares what you want to be or what you are, so can you stop the lies?” Another said.“I mean, that is true. My brother is gay and he came out three years ago, my family didn’t kill him. We don’t have anything against gay people.” A girl said.Every other person started putting in their own words and non was of insult, except for the fact they were telling Nathania to stop denying it and just come clean and that after all, Xavier wasn’t denying it and also kiss
Nathania’s POVTrue to her words, Teresa had refused to talk or see Nathania. During the weekend, Nathania had pleaded with her to see and make up but it was so hard for her to pick up her calls. She had texted and was glad that Teresa didn’t block her like Xavier had but Teresa never replied despite reading her texts. When Monday came, she hurriedly went to school, despite the exams over, they were still required to attend school to finish up their projects. Nathania had left everyone believing she was gay. And since Xavier didn’t bother to clear it and with that kiss that day in the hallway, he was in the same boat with her.On getting to school, she saw Xavier by his locker and her heart missed a series of beats. As if sensing her presence, he turned around and their eyes but he didn’t stay to acknowledge her or anything. He shut his locker and walked away while the students who saw them wondered if there was trouble in paradise. Nathania sighed and went to her own locker, opening
Nathania’s POVTeresa glanced at Nathania in shock, it was obvious she was not believing what she just heard. Nathania sighed and pointed at Oliver on the photo. “That is my elder brother, Oliver. We have been close since I was little. My real name is Nathania. He gave me the nickname Nana and it stuck. Almost everyone calls me that. You see, my brother and I share some resemblance, I can easily pretend to be him. It was a trick we loved playing but he got very sick a year ago that he was hospitalized. My parents brought me here to stay with my Grandma so that I wouldn’t feel lonely. However, I was lonely. I missed my brother. So when my parents processed my transfer here, I had come to school dressed as my brother. Only the principal knows, the name I had given wasn’t the name on my transfer letter and so I told her my predicament and well, she didn’t buy it but she hasn’t called me out all these months. So,” she licked her lips and said in her feminine voice, “I’m sorry for deceivin
Nathania’s POVNathania had been so worried since she get to school and it got worse when neither Xavier nor Teresa had shown up. When she heard the revving Of Xavier’s bike, her heart had stopped beating and she had to force herself to remember how to breath. She has been enduring the stares and whispers of the students who were already in school and she knew should she go outside and meet Xavier, it would raise more questions. So after contemplating that, she decided to wait for him by his locker. No matter what, she has to clear the air about being gay with Xavier. She knew the best thing to do now was to tell everyone that she wasn’t gay but in fact, a girl. However, no matter how much she tried to build up the courage, she just couldn’t.How could she bear coming to school afterwards? Sure, her parents are picking her up next week but she still has to come to school till they do and moreover, her exams are only finishing tomorrow. No matter what, she has to come for her exam tomo
The young girl stared at herself in the mirror and smiled. She was dressed in a white turtleneck and a black leather jacket with black jeans and white sneakers. She perused her face in the mirror and reached for her makeup which she used to enhanced her cheekbones and she made her eyebrows thicker than usual. Loving her new manly look, she nodded and grabbed a bobby pin which she used and hold her hair all back before putting on the short brown-haired wig. She arranged the wig with her fingers, making it a little messy and then she pouted her lips at herself in the mirror before she chuckled and left to pick up her backpack that was resting on her bed. Stepping out of her bedroom, she called out in a feminine voice at the next door, “Granny, I’m leaving for school.” “Okay my dear, I will have food ready by the time you are back,” an elderly woman’s voice rang from the room. “Don’t stress yourself Granny, if you can’t handle it, I will prepare it when I’m back.” “Oh dea...
