Manny's POV“Come on, drink more.I’ll give anything to whoever can drink with me till midnight.”I heard girls giggles.“Does that also include me?” I pushed the door open and walked into the private room.Dash and the 3 girls stared at me… he wasn’t high, was he?No, he can’t even drink, he is still injured. So he is making others drink for him.Dope move.He frowned and I smirked and stared at the available chair.What sort of Chinese hotel is this? Everything about Chinese people looks historical… okay, and low-key classy too.And how can a chair be so low… but it’ll do anyways.“What are you doing here?”“You mean how did I find you?” I smiled and looked at the ladies.“Who are these pretty ladies?” I smiled and stared at what was on the table.Different types of small fruits.I took a berry from a plate and threw it into my mouth.When last did I eat something like these anyway.“Can I borrow him for a moment?Dash?” I tilted my head and stood leaving the room.*He met me outsi
Rosario's POVI laid back down with a thud. I was dreaming wasn’t I!I shut my eyes and screamed loudly.I sighed a little relieved after that.“I’m not going to school today!” I announced and turned to the other side of the bed.“Why?”“I’m sick.” I said half truthfully. Mum didn’t say anything else.After a while I slowly turned to see if she was staring at me.She was.“Sit, let’s talk.” She said. I secretly rolled my eyes.I eventually sat up and crossed my leg.“talk? About what? I asked knowing she is about to give me this whole speech about going to school.“Yes.” She said. “ About GnashGnash Andre Provetin.”I literally froze.Oh shit! I told mum last night.“How did you hear such name Rosario?”“huh?” I smiled guiltily. “The Provetin family is popular.” I said.“Don’t lie to me.” She half snapped. I huffed.“yes. I met him.It doesn’t mean he is bad cause his family's name.” I defended.“I’m not saying he is bad.”I sighed deeply. Thought mum was about discriminating.“But hi
Rosario's POVThere was a knock on the front door.I walked there and peeped through the peep hole. I literally froze.What? I opened my front door.“What are you doing in my house?”She was putting on a big fluffy jacket and knee length heels.“Or you mean how did I find your house?”“What are you doing in my house Laura.” I half yelled this time.“The gate was opened so I…” she trailed off looking back at the gate and me.“What if it was an electric gate?”“Huh? I would have called the cops cause it’s winter and…”“Shut up and leave.” I wanted to close the door but she set her foot there. Surprisingly she was so strong.“Rosa what’s going on?” I heard mum's voice and Laura heard it too. She removed her leg and I shut the door.“No one.” I said leaning my back in the door.“Oh Rosa, please forgive me, I’d give you anything. I’ll do anything you want this time.I’m sorry. Don’t be mad at me anymore. I couldn’t even sleep last night.Please forgive me.”My eyes widen. What was Laura s
Dash's POVI put the stick sweet in my mouth one last time before throwing it on the floor. Hmmn. That shit is sweet though.“So, are you guys ready?” I asked. They all shakily nodded aside victor.“Ok then. If you accept… Just move over to the left.” I said. They all moved to the left leaving Victor and one other guy. Rosario’s brother.“We are on the same page then. Tell the others who are not here that you guys are now my… let’s say acolyte.I’ll keep in touch if I want anything. You can now leave.” I said and they all scampered out of the hall. What a bunch of losers.I came down the principal’s podium.. or whatever it’s called nowadays.I walked towards Kelvin and Victor.“Kelvin why are you still here?” I halted in front of him.“Because I ain’t gonna be one of your followers. Just go straight to the point, you want to rule this school.” He said. I smiled tightly.“So?” I raised a brow. He scoffed.“I knew it.” He said with a chuckle. Everywhere went silent briefly.“I feel you
Rosario's POVI rushed into the library. What is it I just heard? About a huge party.I rushed to Dash with the two can of fruit drink I bought. I placed it on the table staring at him.He gave me a questioning look.“I just heard a bunch of grade 12 girls saying one new kid, to be precise, Dash in 11th grade is hosting a party on Friday night.Everyone's literally talking about him.” I said sarcastically. He raised a brow.“And I met some in the hallway too.It’s true?” I asked. He didn’t say anything. I sighed deeply and sat.“Fine. Why am I even yelling? No, I’m not yelling though, I think my voice is just naturally loud.No… I’m not loud… I’m not loud naturally.” I corrected myself. “I’m just being loud today… I mean right now.Because what party are you hosting again? Ain’t you… Fine it’s none of my business.But shouldn’t you tell us specially. I mean your classmates.I know you’re long done with highschool and all that… but you’re still…”“Would you look at the time.” He drawl
Third Person NarrativeDash slowly opened his eyes… everywhere was dark.He closed them and opened again getting the same sight.He stayed still getting his thoughts together.They were skiing and the next moment he pushed Rosa and she pulled him and… he started rolling down the snow… and he later bumped into a tree.“Shit!” Is she okay?His lips felt sore… he tried to sit up but he literally wasn’t feeling his body… just numb.He looked sideways but it was too dark… he couldn’t see anything.He felt something heavy on his chest… he managed to raise his hand to his chest but… he couldn’t feel anything with his palm.So he raised his hands to his mouth and tried breathing on it to make it warm. And it sorta worked.He touched his chest and realized that it was the jacket he gave Rosa.It was surprising. Was she here too?Some sounds got clearer too, something breathing hard close by.He forced himself to sit up. His chest ached at every move he made, like he was getting stabbed over ag
Third Person NarrationRosario took off her uniform shirt which had an odour, she wrapped the second blanket around herself secretly while Dash was by the fireside.And she laid down to sleep.Silly her, she thought the man that saved them was gonna have like a sleeping bag or something.They had to spread one of the two blanket he brought on the floor to lay on.Leaving them with one to share, but Dash said she should use it and he'd stay awake for a while.She wondered if it’s because they’d lay next to each other or he didn’t wanna share the blanket with her.She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.*Mins past and Rosa didn’t feel like sleeping… just kept turning and turning uncomfortably.Dash was still sitting by the fire. Hmm.He really wasn’t gonna sleep huh?She turned to the other side of the blanket. The floors are so hard and was making her body ache.She started thinking about her mum… she is gonna be angry because she didn’t call her to inform her of this situation.Woul
Rosario's POVI was finding the exam freaking hard while Laura was busy spying from my work.I stared at her for the hundredth time and she would shrug and looked away.But the moment I look back, she'd start spying again.I stared at her again.“Come on Rosa, let me have a little look.” She whispered.“No.” I whispered back bluntly.“What are friend’s for?” She gave me a pitiful look and I rolled my eyes and looked away.The problem is, I’m also struggling to write.And if she is so dumb, she should have just gone for art.Okay what gave me that weird mentality that art is easier than science?I mean, I struggle to read a book and my only inspiration is Dash.*After the last paper, I left the class and hurried to the female's bathroom.Laura already told me that I stink. But it was my shirt.Even if I bathed, I’d probably still stink if I put it back on.I was gonna wear only the jacket this time no one will know.On my way I saw Kelvin talking with a girl intimately.I paused and l
