'Today was going to be my day' I thought to myself, because why not?

I was feeling excited from the morning cause I will be going to Archibald Academy today. I was kind of an introvert and my friend circle consisted of several friends that are less than the fingers of both hands. Preferring quality over quantity was not a bad thing, to be honest. I still hoped that maybe there I would make some new friends. At least make the numbers reach above the fingers of both of my hands as well as feet.

But I was also a little nervous, to be honest. I mean who would be not?

Chris drove me towards the Academy. Gran was also there in the back seat.

"How can I miss such a big day of my Skylar?" Gran cheered.

Gran has always been my #1 support system. I have packed my suitcase and she helped me with it. Thankfully I have secured myself a dorm to live in. Soon enough we entered inside the majestic campus. My heart was beating erratically with excitement regarding the start of a new b

    "Hey, Elle."I smiled at my new roommate. The loneliness that I was feeling before now has vanished into thin air."Finally you are here! We are going to rule Archibald Academy."Well, I am not sure about ruling over Archibald Academy. The only thing that I had any interest to rule over was my grades."I can't be too sure about that.""Oh, hush! I will introduce you to many of my friends and we will have so much fun together."Fun? I could get used to the fun but not too much fun."Before we do all that, tell me about this school a little."Elle and I both talked about the academics and facilities available in the school. She especially told me about the dos and don'ts.Like if you want to go for a booze party then Stella's place was the hub. In case you want to bunk the dorm and chill outside for late nights then bribing the RA with a little booze would do the wonders.And the most important part was not to get caught by the minions of Mr Archibald, th

  • Kissing Ethan   Chapter 10 - Pepperoni at Peonies

    Mister Arrogant was Victoria’s boyfriend! How does she handle such a rude jerk like he was beyond my imagination? Well, it was not my problem, but judging from the scowling expression of Victoria, one thing was crystal clear. Victoria was irritated with me. I guess I could expect that from her since I was the one who interrupted her French kissing session with the handsome hunk. So Mr Arrogant also goes to this school. Was it fate or some silly coincidence? He was gazing at me with his poker face like he was busy deciphering my identity. Before he could do that, I decided to change my direction. He offended me once. There was no need to repeat the same mistake twice. Before I could embarrass myself further, Elle grabbed me by my elbow. “What are you doing?” She whispered through her clenched teeth. “Running away.” I started running towards the track field without giving any one of them su

  • Kissing Ethan   Chapter 11 - Ready to rock and roll

    Saturday was officially here.Today was also Elle's birthday.The first thing I did today was wished Elle for her special day.But like earlier days, only wishing by call or text doesn't work for our generation.Could you even call yourself a real friend if you don't wish for your friend on social media?But, to be honest, life was quite laid-back before all of these prominent social media networks were created.My presence on social media was like finding water on the moon. Which was almost negligible.My advisor once told me that I need to have a significant online presence if I ever wanted to be admitted into any ivy league.From then on I broke my social media virginity. My account has twenty followers and I had uploaded the picture of cherry blossoms as my profile picture.The only four pictures that I had uploaded were basically of me with grandmother, our little restaurant, one with Chris and the last one I recently uploaded was with Elle, wishing h

    We reached Elle's place within thirty minutes. She had texted me her address before. I was accompanied by Chris, so I didn't have to recheck the address.Thanks to Chris's seamless driving abilities, we were only one hour late.Though I would like to give some extra credit to myself."You brought the party pass right?" I asked."Of course I did, even though we don't need it," Chris muttered.After our check-in with the security guard, we drove inside and Chris parked his car in the parking section that was lined with numerous expensive vehicles.Elle's eighteenth birthday party was organized outside Elle's house. We walked through the well-maintained lawn towards the venue.The decoration was chief's kiss. I gazed around to assess my surrounding.I was awestruck by the decorations, lights, the stage and the huge five tire cake!Beside the stage, there was a music band who were playing some party pep that was blaring from the speakers, spreading everywhere.

    It was like a movie playing in slow motion in front of me.I witnessed the masterpiece of God's creation, walking on the red carpet. He was heading towards the place where we all were standing.This time Mister Arrogant was smiling.Oh my gosh, HE WAS SMILING.It was the first time I saw him smile and to be honest, I did not know one smile could look so attractive on anyone's face.His presence screamed power and had this aura of hypnotism radiating around. It was not only me but everyone seemed enchanted the moment he stepped into the party.He carried his over six feet tall, lean and chiselled frame that demanded attention.God! does this type of man really exists?But what was this? he was not alone. There was a young woman beside him, who looked like a supermodel with red-dyed hair. I recognised her.Victoria walking hand in hand with him and flashing her beautiful smile just like her beautiful red hair colour, at him and the cameras at every other sec

    "Chris, come with me, we need to 'DISCUSS SOMETHING' very important," Elle announced.Chris gave her a look that said -Have -you -lost -your -mind?Elle smiled and tried to drag Chris away. I realised that Mr Arrogant was giving a suspicious look to the spot where mine and Chris's arms were still locked with each other.Chris unlocked our hands and went away with Elle.Elle winked at me and left me and Mr arrogant alone at the spot.I bet there is no such 'something 'to discuss between Elle and Chris."So, we have met before." startling me from my thoughts with his husky voice, Mr Arrogant gave me a non-alcoholic beverage glass and grabbed one for himself from the plate carried by a passing waiter."Yeah, we have met before at the mall and during my morning jog and guess what, both of the meetings were not so nice ."The bitter truth, which was boiling in my mouth earlier, was now ready to explode over this man."There would be no such 'not so nice meeting

    "Sure, captain." Coward Chase happily handed me to Ethan the moment he asked no ordered him to leave the dancefloor.The music had changed to a slow one.I placed my hand on Ethan's shoulder and believe me when he placed his hand on my waist, the spark returned. My thin layer of dress couldn't hide the feel of his hand on my skin.We moved slowly with the sound of music.Our eyes never broke the contact.I wanted to ask him, why did he kiss me on my cheek but choose not to. I was too afraid to speak something stupid and break this special moment.He danced too well.Even if we didn't want to break the moment, Victoria did. She interrupted us anyway.Jealousy and guilt both engulfed me.For God's sake, he does have a girlfriend. Don't get involved with him Sky.He was completely out of my league. I tried to knock some sense into me and left them on the dancefloor.I marched towards Chris instead."We need to leave now, lets

    Elle clapped, Chris whistled and I blushed at Ethan's response. I thought today my luck was not with me (or maybe I was the luckiest girl). Problem solved. Matter dismissed. Without any further argument, and Ethan went to the parking lot where his silver expensive car was parked. Boys and their toys! Like a gentleman, he opened the door for me and then went to the driver's seat. There was no driver today. It was just me and Ethan. Oh boy, I was completely impressed and mesmerized with the interior as well as the exterior of his car. Sitting in such an expensive car was a lifetime achievement for me. "What are you doing?" I asked. Ethan leaned forward. Our faces were just inches apart. Was he going to kiss me? My eyes settled on his delicious lips. KISS ME. He reached for the seatbelt to wrap it around me. Jesus Christ! Skylar, how can you be such a fool? I wanted to smack my head

Good night.P.s. I know you will be dreaming about me."It was a typical Ethan kind of a text."I won't be dreaming about you." I texted back with an eye roll emoji."You need to learn how to lie, Carter.""You leave me alone.""Don't plan to. P.s. Don't go for acting, you already know why." Ethan was again referring me as a bad liar and I guess I really was a bad liar.That night I went into sleep with

    The feel of Ethan's hot breath and the taste of his lips were like nirvana unlocked. Even though I didn't hear him utter the words to state that he liked me as well, his actions did.His ferocious way of kissing and claiming me was enough for me to understand that he feels the same way about me as well.We took a pause from our french kiss session to fill some air into our lungs.With a sudden jolt Ethan lifted me from the cold surface of the bench and made me sit on his lap. I squealed at the sudden movement while he smirked unapologetically. His eyes were reflecting warmth while his lips were smiling with a sense of mischief. Took me a few seconds but it was then When I finally understood what his intentions were.Ethan's hand gently cradled my body, while I hooked my fingers around his neck, and gently planted a soft kiss on his cheek. My heart was beating like crazy throughout the intimate moment that we shared.Ethan's fingers skimmed across the lapels of my coat and he swiftly

    Ethan: I will see you at seven, till then you can watch my pictures.Me: I am not 'watching' your pictures.Ethan: I know you do cause you are missing meMe: I am not MISSING you.Ethan: sure! Whatever makes you feel better.I could feel him rolling his eyes while typing the last text.It was almost 5 and I was doing the same thing as 70% of ladies all over the world do before their date. Wasting time on deciding what to wear.Damn. Is this how girls feel almost every week. Thank God I am not one of them. Wait a minute, now I am. I felt like having a mental breakdown. I had several casual pieces in my mind but when the time came to try it on in front of the mirror I was good on my own but beside Ethan, I would look like I came to park his car. Nope, this won't do. Time to switch to semi-formal.I took out my black jeans, and a cream coloured silk blouse with a boat neck that goes perfectly well with the same coloured high heels. Lastly a scarf and Overcoat. Perfect.A light rosy make-

    Every time he touched me, my body never failed to feel the spark. I closed my eyes and let that thrilling spark run down my body along with excitement and anticipation.I let myself drown in that kiss.Drown with him."Go on a date with me tonight," Ethan uttered breaking the kiss.Though I felt frightened at first, there was still a pinch of excitement that made its way into my heart, just by thinking about going on a date with him."But I am helping Gran at the restaurant tonight." I didn't want to appear too eager in front of him about the date.I didn't know how I managed to keep my calm from outside, cause inside I was practically screaming with excitement and anticipation."Then we will help Gran together." Ethan smiled.I liked how he decided to help Gran along with me instead of asking me to skip the restaurant tonight."Do you even know how to help?" I asked raising a brow."Is this some sort of job interview?" Ethan mimicked me by raising his brow."What if it is?""Then I w

    "You want me to take you to my bedroom?" I asked Ethan, unbelievably."Yes." His answer was short and to the point."In your dreams Maxwell." I rolled my eyes and went ahead to the stairs."Oh common Carter, I am sure I have visited you in your dreams right in your bedroom, don't you want me to make your dreams come true?" Ethan asked, raising a brow. Yes, he could actually raise a brow, and somehow that made him appear more attractive.Why does his smile always make me so weak?"I have many other things to dream about, Ethan. Besides, I don't dream about boring stuff." I teased."Open the door and I will show you how 'interesting' your dreams can become." The smile that Ethan was giving me before had now turned into something darker, just like his eyes.It was evident that Ethan was not at all joking.I don't know what possessed me, but feeling a rush of adrenaline, I decided to invite him to my bedroom.I flicked on the light switch and opened the window

  • Kissing Ethan   20. Your room

    Oh My God! Could it go any more embarrassing than this situation I have tangled me into? Watching Ethan smirk in front of me was making me go red with embarrassment. "I don't recall giving you my handkerchief?" Of course you never 'gave' it to me. All right, I could take this situation in two ways from now. First, feign ignorance and second come clean. Since the former sounded way overrated, even in my head, I thought why not go for the second one? "You never gave it to me." "Then how did you get it?" Ethan asked dangling the hanky in front of us. He was smirking like a predator who has just got a whiff of its prey. "Remember our first meet at the mall?" I asked. "Of course I do." "You left it there by my side when you went away," I said lowering my voice in the last part. He took a step towards me and took my hand in his. "You have it with you since then?" Not knowing how to answ

  • Kissing Ethan   19. My Handkerchief

    "Skylar who's there at the door?" I heard Gran question from the kitchen. Good question Gran but how do I answer that question? I saw Ethan smiling at my state of trouble. "Why are you here?" I asked. "Ouch!" Ethan feigns hurt by placing his hand on his chest, just over his heart. I rolled my eyes at his overacting but also a smile was breaking its way out on my face. "I am here to give you something." "Give me what?" "Skylar, why are you not answering my question?" Gran asked again. Jeez! Gran, why so impatient? "It's a friend, Gran," I answered from the door watching Ethan's smile slowly turning into a scowl. That scowl even made him look like an absolute hottie. "Invite your friend for breakfast Sky." What! Gran you can't honestly ask me to do that! What happened to put the distance between us? I spent last night with his thoughts through and through only to find him st

  • Kissing Ethan   Chapter 18 - Mr Uninvited

    Gran and I chatted for a bit longer than usual. After having my late-night dinner I decided to wash the dishes before going to bed. I went to the washroom and was stunned after gazing at my reflection. My lips were a little swollen. My eyes were shining with an irrevocable brightness that I have never felt before. My heart picked up its erratic pace every time I thought about the kisses that we shared. "Get a grip, Skylar!" I whispered to no one. I shook my head and patted my cheeks a bit to compose myself and my tangled thoughts. After removing the make up I washed my face with cold water from the sink. I changed into my comfortable clothes and plopped on the bed. Tonight felt like one of the longest nights of my life. I was never the kind of girl who gets hung up just because of a kiss. Guess you can't escape from the teenage phase out of your life. Gran was so elated! Earlier she used to nag me to get a boyfriend and now. Wh

    I was utterly stunned by what just happened. Before I could contemplate, Ethan kissed me again with the same passion. "Just like I imagined," Ethan muttered. Before I could reply, he went to his car. I did not miss the flash of his victorious smile at my shocked expression. Ethan drove away into the thin air, leaving me stunned and confused. HE KISSED ME TWICE TONIGHT. The goosebumps on my arm and absolute shocked expression were enough evidence to prove that I was not hallucinating. I lifted my fingers and brushed them lightly across my lips. The essence of his lingering kiss was still there. I could still taste his clean minty breath on my lips. This was real. His kiss was real. Ethan Maxwell was real. Oh my God! I just kissed the hottest boy I ever met in my entire existence. My perception of him being an arrogant jerk, felt so petty. He drove me to my home. Made sure I feel saf
