“Can I have a very good reason why you are late?” The teacher asked.The drop dead gorgeous guy who I heard his name as Adrian Sanders shrugged, “I’m sorry Mr. Peterson but I ran into traffic and I had to wait for it to clear.”“Are you running out of excuses? Because if I am to remind you, that was your excuse last week Friday,” Mr. Peterson folded his arms on his chest, waiting for him to defend himself.“Is it? Oh, but today is Monday Mr. Peterson, there can still be traffic, don't you think?” He raised an eyebrow with a beautiful smile playing on his lips and I knew immediately that if Mr. Peterson was Mrs. Peterson, she would have let him go to his seat, but too bad, he isn’t.Mr. Peterson sighed, “there is a new girl in class, after class, you are to show her around and her locker, is that understood?”“Mr. Peterson, can I please know why I have to be some girl’s tour guide?” Adrian asked, running his hand through his shiny hair. He has some balls referring to me as some girl, d
When I heard her response, I looked at the seat they were sitting on and of course, he was gone and he sent this bitch to do his work for him. I must say I’m glad he found someone else to fill in for him but he really had bad taste for sending her to me. I stood up and she smiled, “good girl, now follow me,” she turned and that was when I saw two other girls with her.“Why do I need to follow the ugly duckling?” I saw her stop immediately and if it was action movies, they are going to play the sound of a plane taking off to match with her expression, “I don’t look like a duck do I?”“What did you just say?” She turned to ask.“Perhaps the ugly duckling is not only ugly but also dumb?” I raised an eyebrow.She laughed, “I think I underestimated you, do you have any idea who I am?”“If worse comes to worse, you will be the captain of the cheerleading team, there is nothing new there.”“You are smart, at least you answered correctly but you also missed something else, I am the school bea
It’s been five days since I started my new school and surprisingly, everything has been going well, more than I expected. Although I have earned a name for myself, nobody has come looking for my trouble. My friendship with Christy was improving and I might say we are heading over to the BFF barge, yeah, that’s if my parents don't return one day and announce that we are moving. I have had three BFF’s and three of them are no longer in contact with me because I moved so far away from them and I can’t even tell when next we would be seeing each other again.I packed my books and walked to the cafeteria. I should head to my locker and drop my books but Christy is already waiting for me and I don’t want to delay her further. Stepping into the noisy cafeteria, I sighed and searched for her. I saw her waving at me, urging me to come to her which I did. “I was beginning to wonder if you have lost your way,” she said immediately I approached her.“I’m sorry, I can’t possibly tell what delayed
I stared at him first in shock, then I laughed, really? Did he just say that? “My genie?”“Did I say something funny?” Adrian asked and that just made me laugh more.“So, let me ask, do you often walk up to a girl and offer to be her genie?” I asked.“Actually, no. You are the first,” he answered.“Then may I ask, what gave you such an idea that I need a genie?”“I have heard a lot about you and I said to myself, this girl needs a genie to help her in her daily activities.”“And what help will you be giving to me?”“I will be granting your wishes,” he answered simply.“Is that so, what is in it for you?”“Genies don’t have requests.”“I doubt that, I can remember Aladdin’s genie wanted to be free,” I smiled.He leaned closer to me, our faces only a meter apart, “rest assured, I will never wish to be free from you, rather, I will like to get closer to you,” his ocean eyes twinkled, making his face more radiant. Damn this guy is handsome, nuh uh, scratch that, I mean damn, this guy is u
On getting home, I slammed the door after me, “Max, I’m home,” I yelled, making my way to the kitchen. I opened the kitchen and got out a bottle of orange juice, opening it, I drank from it, “Max?” I called again when I didn’t see him.I put back the cap on the bottle and returned the drink to the fridge, if my mother was around, she would have shouted at me for lacking in personal hygiene, bah, who cares. They are not around and no one else is going to finish the drink but me. “Max, get down here this minute!”“What the hell do you want?” He yelled back from the stairs and I left the kitchen to see him, he was frowning, he hates it when I shout his name and I on the other hand, loves doing what I was told not to do, I just can’t help it.“Just checking if you are home,” I replied, acting like I did the most natural thing.“You are a weirdo,” he rolled his eyes at me and turned to go back to his room.“But you still love me,” I yelled after him.“No I don’t”“Yes you do, yes you do,”
“Molly, there is a girl here for you!” I heard Max screaming in my sleep and I opened my eyes. I yawned and sat up on the bed, picking up my phone that had fallen on the bed when I dozed off. I checked the time and it was six thirty. Who could be looking for me by this time?I climbed out of the bed, input my password on the phone and minimized the game before walking out of my room, “who is it Max?” I asked from the staircase.“Said her name is Christy and she is your BFF,” he yelled back.I frowned, what is Christy doing here? I’m not surprised she knows where I live since she has dropped me off twice, I just don’t know why she would come without calling me. I hurried down the stairs and saw her standing in the living room, she was dressed to kill in a mini skirt and tight black crop top. Her voluminous curls were styled in half bun, with little curls dropping on her face, she looked…what’s the word? Sexy.“Hey girl, what the hell, you are not dressed?” She screamed.I frowned, “dre
And heaven just decided to punish me, “I wasn’t expecting to see you here,” he continued and I turned around. Mark my word, the biggest mistake I made was turning around to look at Adrian Sanders. His shiny white hair was covering half of his face, he was putting on a black leather jacket on top black pullover, a black jeans with a white converse, his black attire made his hair stand out as well as his eyes. I didn’t realize I was checking him out until he made a comment.“Like what you see, Pigeon?” He raised an eyebrow, a slow and sexy smile playing on the corners of his lips.I tried to ignore how handsome he looked, nuh uh, I mean how ugly he looked, “first of all, stop calling me pigeon, that’s not my name.”“But it suits you perfectly.”“And why is that?”“Because you are acting as free as a bird, you say what you want to say and you do what you want to do. I didn’t want to be calling you a bird so I chose the nicest amongst the species,” he clarified.“Unbelievable,” I shook m
The weekend passed with me joggling myself with unpacking my boxes and doing my homework, not that I was able to finish unpacking my boxes but that’s okay, I will see to it later this weekend or any day I have nothing to do after school. Hopefully, I will finish them before mom and dad return, they won’t be happy with me if I haven’t done that by the time they are back.I put on a jacket and let my hair down from the ponytail I had on since last night. I ran my brush on it briefly and picked up my backpack and left the room. “Max, you ready?” I yelled, making my way to his room. I pushed open the door without bothering to knock and I regretted it immediately. I turn to the door, backing him, “what the hell! Learn how to use a towel.”“Learn how to knock, this is my room,” he replied.Well he is right, “are you decent?” I asked after a while.“For today, what’s the guarantee that you won’t do it again?”“I won’t, today will be the last day,” I turned to him and he already has his pants
I glared at him and he laughed, “your words, remember?” He reminded me.“Point of correction, it wasn’t my words.”“But you suggested it and she just said it,” he winked and walked to my bed. Falling on it, he picked up the novel I had no idea was still there, yeah right. “Hmm, romance, never knew you were that type judging by the fact that you always push me away when I’m trying to be romantic with you.”I rolled my eyes, “get out of my bed, Adrian.”“Why should I? It’s soft, almost like I’m lying on your body,” he winked.“It will only happen in your dreams,” I rolled my eyes.“Here we go again,” he sighed, “anyway, this place is awfully quiet, where are your parents? You screamed really loud when you first saw me, how come none of them heard it?”“My parents are not around and my brother sleeps like a log, no matter the amount of noise in this house, he is not waking up. Well, that’s probably because he always sleeps with his headphones on.”“That’s not good, my uncle who happens t
“What the hell?” I asked.“I have missed you,” he chuckled, taking a step towards me, “what’s hard to understand there,” he was now in front of me and he ran his fingertips on my cheek, “I missed you pigeon,” he repeated in a whisper.A shiver ran through my body and I took a step back, “okay, you have seen me, now leave,” I started pushing him towards the window.“Hey, hey wait, wait, I haven’t said what I came to say,” he commented.“Yes you have.”“No, I haven’t,” he stopped moving and turned to face me.“Fine then, what else do you want to say?” I crossed my arms on my chest.Adrian licked his lips and sighed, “listen, I figured it out today during your outburst.” I frowned, my outburst? “You are angry not just because I kissed you but because it was your first kiss and I may not be the guy you wanted to give it to and also not in that surrounding.”I took a minute staring at him, speechless. First, let’s begin with the fact I never expected him to come apologising and to use the
“No, I don’t want to join in anything,” I was saying to Christy on the phone as I climbed the stairs to my room. Max chose to turn in earlier and I only enjoy watching Netflix with someone, or at least start it with someone before being left alone. It was only eight o'clock and I didn't know what to do with my time so that the hours could pass by. Then I called Christy to chat a little with her.“Come on Molly, you are no longer a new student, there are a lot of clubs in the school, find one to join. There are the drama club, the singing club, the debate club, the fashion club, the math club and you are very good in math, oh and they also have the nerd club, so which is it going to be?”“None,” I deadpanned.“Oh come, don’t be a killjoy.”“What of you, which one are you in?”“Well, I was in the drama club before I had to leave but now I want to join again or just any of the clubs. I’m tired of not belonging to anything.”“Well, that’s what I do best, I don’t belong to anything.”“Come
I sighed when I heard her words, “but that doesn’t mean everybody in school has to know about it and that stupid Adrian too. I wonder what he will be thinking of me now.”“Probably, as the most beautiful girl he has ever met. Molly, do you even look at yourself in the mirror? You are an angel when compared to beauty, you have this long wavy brown hair that glitters like a chocolate ice cream, a pair of beautiful brown eyes that captivates everyone, I mean it captivated me. You have this adorable height, has it ever occurred to you that you are more than two inches taller than me? And I am considered tall for a girl. You have this flame around you that makes you special. Beautiful and attractive like a blue fire and everybody knows that blue fire burns fiercer and hotter. You are like blue fire, Molly, attractive to look at and dangerous to touch but you also care for those who you love. Your personality is what attracted me to you, remember, and the girl I met that day is not the type
“Ms. Davis, may I know the reason you have chosen to disturb the class?” Mrs. Meyers asked.“Um…” I looked around and everyone was looking at me, even Christy was looking at me with worry, “I’m sorry Mrs. Meyers, it won’t happen again.”“It better not or there will be consequences and please, mind your use of words in my class. Understood?”“Yes Mrs. Meyers,” I bowed my head. The class continued again and I heard Adrian chuckling, I turned to glare at him and he clammed up immediately but his eyes were still filled with amusement, “I hate you,” I mouthed.“I know and I’m sorry,” he smiled.Rolling my eyes, I faced my front, ready to ignore him for the rest of my life, but he didn’t have the same plan for me I guess, for he continued pulling my hair, tickling my neck and whispering my name, well, that’s if you would call pigeon my name. Now, I hate-hate-hate-hate-hate him.When the bell rang, it was as if I had my redemption, I packed my books immediately and was out of the class befor
The next day had me preparing for school tiredly, I had watched Netflix far into the night because I couldn’t sleep. I was still dressing when my door opened and Christy stormed in, “I can’t believe this, you are still dressing?” She shrieked.This felt strange, I was used to being the one to shriek at Max for not finishing on time but having Christy do the same to me made me frown, I didn’t like it one bit. Agh, now I understand what Max usually complained about. “I’m dressing aren’t I? Calm down, I will be ready soon.”“Well you better be, being late to school is not my specialty,” she fell on my bed.“Neither is it mine,” I rolled my eyes and turned to get out my top from the wardrobe and my mind chose to remind me of someone who loves being late, a white haired guy with ocean blue eyes. Ugh, I can’t believe I will be seeing him again today and he is going to stress me out like only he knows how to.Minutes later, we were going down the stairs on our way to her car, “so, I had this
Adrian withdrew to his seat immediately and he put on his headphones just as everyone started waking up. Seeing him, you won’t believe that he was seducing me five seconds ago.I shook my head and pulled out my backpack from the seat, turning to Christy, I woke her up just as the bus was stopping. Adrian stood up immediately, strapping his bag on his shoulder, he left the bus. I stared after him and sighed, so much for being attracted to me. I rolled my eyes, grateful for Ben’s intervention, if not he would have kissed me again just like he did last night and without my permission.Actually, it was with my permission because I didn’t see myself doing anything to stop him when he was leaning closer to me. Sighing, I helped Christy up, the bus was emptying and we joined in line after she got her backpack.Outside the bus, Ms. Sanchez called for everyone’s attention and I noticed that Adrian was nowhere to be seen, I searched for him with my eyes but I couldn’t find him, where could he h
The time to leave finally arrived and as I expected, Christy woke me up and we loosed our tents. Nobody was actually happy leaving but there was nothing we could do, the principal has spoken and we could only obey.Getting to the bus, I walked straight to the back seat and sat down, pushing my backpack under the seat. I brought out my phone and plugged in my earplug just as Christy sat beside me and I placed my head on her shoulder. Minutes later, I felt someone sitting beside me but I didn’t bother to look, it was the school bus after all and every student can sit wherever they want. The car started some time after and I knew our journey had started. I dozed in and out of sleep until I perceived that cologne, that beautiful sea sent. I furrowed my brows, I have come to know the owner of that smell. What is he doing here? Why could I perceive his cologne when I know he is not near me? I opened my eyes to see really beautiful slender fingers resting on a black jean. My frown deepened,
As you all know, I was woken up in the morning just when I was starting to enjoy my sleep. I got up and hand combed my hair before walking outside. The sun was so bright that I had to close my eyes and open it slowly to adapt to the brightness, courtesy of sleeping late. I met Christy coming out of her tent. She looked bright and beautiful, no doubt because she had a good night's sleep, unlike me.“Hey, good morning,” she approached me then frowned, “what’s with the eye-bags, didn’t sleep well?”“Trust me, you don’t want to know,” I replied, yawning.“You know what? I really do want to know.”“Not now Chris, I will tell you later, I’m still trying to figure it out myself.”“Alright kids, gather around,” Ms. Sanchez's voice rang loud and clear. We all started gathering around her and the Monroe’s, “Listen kids, there is a change of plan. We have to go back today.”“What, why?” The whole students asked.“Apparently, Mr. Wood didn’t hear when I told him we would be staying away for two d
