Russeli POV
I called Cindy out late in the evening to the little playground next to her house, I have come put to see her, I just wanted to see her before I go to bed that night.We both sat down on the swing, longing up at the night sky. "The stars are beautiful," I said softly to herself hearing, there were a lot of stars in the sky which made it look like we are in a fairy tale.I look at Cindy who had her eyes on the sky, probably looking at the beautiful sky, she was always pretty, always looking beautiful whenever I see her, it doesn’t matter the time, she looks dazzling both at night and day. "This is how I want you to twinkle, just like the stars.""Huh!" She turns her eyes to look at me, I smiled at her, looking down at her lips I remembered our kiss and it made me blush, I look away immediately."Are you going to the party tomorrow?" I asked her, exhaling softly as I changed the topic."Yes." I face her again when I knew my desire to k"Hi, Cindy.""Happy birthday Suzy." Cindy forced a thin smile.Suzy smirked. "Thanks." Suzy looked around, there were many people here and many eyes as well, also Jeffery was here too. She looks at Cindy again. "Can I talk to you at the restroom for a minute?" Cindy was confused, why would Suzy want to talk to her at the restroom when they can talk here. "What's the problem?""Come with me," Suzy said and walked into the restroom with Cindy behind. She made sure the place was empty and the next thing she did was to push Cindy to the wall."Suzy, what is wrong?" Cindy asked her with a shocked expression."You know right!" Suzy said furiously as her eyes darkened."Know what?" Cindy was perplexed as she looks at the angry Suzy, she knew she did nothing wrong with Suzy, she barely talks to her in class, and now she knew what?Suzy scoffed. "I am amazed at your pretence." She steps close to Cindy with her brow furrowed. "You know Jeffery from chi
Stablish High-school.Cindy White POV I came to school early the next day, this was me, coming when only a few people have arrived, I love being punctual, I got to class, my two friends were not there yet, it was normal, they were not as punctual as me.I sat down on my desk in class, turning pages of my book, not even knowing what to read in particular, just a few students were in class, and it was less noisy, I could hear a few students discussing how well Suzy's party had been.I didn't want to think of the humiliation I felt that Saturday, I had cried over it and taken my mind off it, I lean my chin on my hand that was on the table, still flipping through pages when I noticed I was no longer alone.I looked up to see my two friends, standing in my front with their eyes filled with sadness and I wonder what was wrong. "Are you both okay?" "I am sorry." They both said at a time, I was surprised at the apology and I sat up, leaning back to my chair t
Jeffery Walsh POV I walked upstairs, through the hallway heading towards the nurse office, I saw her come out, the girl I have called a bumper, the girl I have humiliated at the party, the girl I have walked past and not recognised.I took a quick step to her. "Cindy," I called out as I look her in her face, now I see her closely, she looks like the girl in the picture, the girl I have always known and loved as a child. "Cindy White." I saw her stills and tears immediately filled her eyes like they were on mine."Yes, do you have any bad installed to say to me?" She asked me and it hit my heart like a thorn."Cindy..." I was speechless as I don't know what else to say, just looking at her face reminded me of Saturday, I was at fault and yet I called her all sort of names. "You are Cindy White, I am sorry, I did not recognise you." I stretched my hands to touch her but she moved back away from me."Why?" She shouted in tears. "Do you know me? Have we seen ea
"Russeli, is something wrong with Cindy?" Chris asked him immediately he returned to his seat."She seems to be sad by something, she doesn't want to tell me about it either." Russeli turns his eyes and saw Jeffery staring at Cindy and he furrowed his brow. "What is the matter with that transferred student?" "He has been staring at her for a while now," Awson replied, also turning his head to look at Jeffery.Russeli looks at Cindy and then back at Jeffery and shook his head. "I feel uneasy." He muttered to himself and exhaled softly."Hey, dude, stop staring at her that way," Chad told Jeffery as he touched him lightly on the hand."Yeah, look, everyone is watching and whispering," D'mally added, but Jeffery did not stop, he couldn't see anyone or anything in the class but Cindy."I can't just help it, why did I not recognise her earlier? Why did I humiliate her so much, I am so mad at myself right now, that I want to hurt myself so much and hard." Je
Stablish High-schoolThe next day at school, all students were out on the volleyball court in their gym wear, they were all happy since most of them love this game.Mr Henry stood in their front to address them, other tears were also present. "Okay, the female students of class three will play volleyball in today's gym class, by the way, the finals of the race haven't been concluded yet." Mr Henry looked around the hall. "Is Cindy White here?" He asked since she was good at hiding lately."Yes sir." Cindy White said softly from the sport she was sitting in as all eyes turned to her, she was done hiding, now there was no point in doing that since Jeffery had known her name already."I thought you ran away again." Mr Henry said and everyone chuckled, Cindy bites down
Mr Henry blew the whistle again and they began. "Bella bump, Janet quicken your speed and tighten your fist! That's right, hit it higher, you are doing good over there." Kelly grounded the ball to Suzy's team and they earn their own goal and the others cheer.Few minutes, Mr Henry blew his whistle for a short mini-break, and they went to rehydrate, Russeli walked over to Cindy with a bottle of water, he hands it over to her and she took a sip. "You're doing well over there," Russeli told her with a smile."I am just being lucky." Cindy knew that she was just ducking the ball whenever it comes close to her and Kelly or Janet always step in to hit the ball over, she was useless to the sport."You are still trying your best." Russeli flashed her a gentle smile, if this was her first step, it was a good one.
Cindy White POV"Cindy." I heard a familiar voice a few minutes later and closed my eyes, not wanting to face who it was."Leave, I don't have the energy to face you right now." I grip the sheet of the bed I lay, my back turned at him."The reason why you ran away during riddle class and race gym class, lying to be sick and ill were all because of me right?" He asked and I pressed my lips together wishing I could close my ears too and not hear a word from him."So that I would not know your name or find out that you are Cindy White, you know.." He paused. "You are the cause I did not find out who you are, why did you hide away huh! Why don't you listen to me?" I could hear the pain in his voice but I was silent."You are so m
Suzy's POV"It is okay Jeffery, drop those memories at this table, I am here for you," I said softly. "I am close to you now." Our gaze met brief and he looked away, down at the beer he was holding in his hand."I should drink it out then." I finished his beer and we order three more beer, he continues drinking and I noticed he was getting drunk, he must be a light drinker."Jeffery, it's okay." I took the beer from his hand, we still have to go back home, at this raiment I might call a destination driver."She is now mad at me, I deceived her, Cindy.." He muttered. "She is too beautiful, how did I come to lie to her." He looked at me. "I should just tell her the truth, but I can't, making her worried will hurt my heart."Jef
Cindy POVDays went by, the show that would be a blast to the world was soon approaching, my live music, it has been broadcasted on many radio stations and almost everyone was waiting to hear it, and I also hope he was also waiting for it.I had thrown a reunion party and had invited most of my classmates, they had honoured the invitation and we had a blast and there was a lot of things we discussed, seems everyone was doing well, a lot of them were married and most of them had kids too.The only person who had not been present was Jeffery, D’mally and Chad had both come along but just like always none of them had heard anything from Jeffery, it seems he had disappeared into thin air with no clue, just like he had been hiding from me as he said.He had made it clear to me that he won't let me go d him, and this was the only promise he had kept for good six years, it was funny, leaving was what be wanted and hiding away was what he sealed.I may never find him but I ho
Cindy’s POVI walked into Janet restaurant, the place was big but empty, possible because I was coming over, today was our friendship anniversary and we never miss out on it.Kelly joined us not quite long as classic music played in the background, one of my favourites, but it only made my heart lonely, my friends were saying something while we ate but I was absentminded and so lost in my thought that I didn’t hear them call me.Kelly took the ice cream I was eating away from me and I looked at her with a frown. “You have taken too much already, so stop.” She told me and I looked down the table to see three empty plates of ice cream I have consumed.“Give it back,” I demanded, not ready to hear what they have to say but Janet hit the table with her hands and I flinched back and look at her face, her brow was creased and honest she looks like she could kill an ant.“You would get yourself sick if you continue.”
Jeffery POVI packed my clothes into my luggage and few documents in preparation to leave this country, this was the only way for Cindy to move on, I have thought about it and this was the only solution, we have been hurt and the pain was just too much to ignore.To me, I have lost everything, even if Cindy was to stay with me, I will not be happy looking at three faces that will forever feel sorry to me. I love Louisa even if she wasn’t my real mother, I don't want her to be too sad because of my life.“Jeffery, what are you doing?” I heard Louisa’s voice, unaware that she had joined me in my room.I stood up from the bed and look at her. “I am leaving this weekend,” I told her plainly and walked over to my wardrobe to take out my remaining wears.“What do you mean?” Louisa asked with a panicked voice as she walked over to me, I saw her furrowed brow through the mirror on the wall.“I have nothing h
Cindy I grab her coat and ran out of the house, it was rainy and I was not with an umbrella, but I didn’t mind, I did not care, I was focused as I recall the call I had received a few minutes ago.“Cindy, this is Louisa, I am giving you the permission to love Jeffery, he is not my son, he is not your half brother, so go find him and love him as much as you want.”This was all like a dream to me, Jeffery was not my real brother, this means I can still love him, my heart had not stopped loving him and I have my parent’s permission to love him, this was just too good, all I had to do was find Jeffery and I know just where he would be if he also knows about this.I arrived at the beach, it was pouring heavily and there Jeffery stood, under the rain, staring at the ocean, as I walked step by step closer, the words he had told me in the past echoed in my head.“I love my father so much, he was my best friend, the only person I feel s
JefferyI sat down in my room playing a video game, this seems to be the only thing that could distract me from thinking of Cindy, at this moment I could only close my mind to all the things that had happened lately.I heard a knock on my door, already knowing who it was I didn’t respond, the door opened and light footsteps approached me. “Let’s talk.” Louisa held my hands and l pull away from her.“I have nothing to talk about with you,” I said coldly, recently I have been acting this way, I don’t even speak with her, I was hurt and annoyed, I lost my love because of her.“Then just listen.” She shouted out of frustration, yanking the game control out of my hand to get my attention.“Why should I?” I raised my voice. “I am not interested in anything you have to say so leave me alone!” I got up to walk to the door, but her words stop me halfway.“The marriage has been ca
I was called to the rooftop by Suzy, I wonder what else she had to say this time since she is only full of shit, whereas she had said she won’t bother herself anymore with me.“Why did you call me here?” I saw her standing close to the rail and she was not looking like the rude and ever bold Cindy I know, but still, I knew I should be ready to defend myself if she tries to hit me again.“I have something to say to you.” She looks at me as she approaches me, I scrutinized her and she seems humble this time, her tone was soft like she wants to say something she was guilty of.“If it is about Jeffery, you can have him because I am no longer interested in him.” To my greatest surprise, the almighty Suzy knelt in frowned at me and I raised my brow curiously.“I am sorry.” She apologized out of the blue and this was not like a nonchalant apology, it was sincere and for a moment I was speechless and confused, she had
I walked over to Jeffery who was walking down the hallway, this time my heart feels blank and without admiration or feelings for this young man.“Let’s talk on the rooftop,” I told him seeing that there was a student around and I didn’t want to us.“I have nothing to say to you.” He said dryly and turn to walk away.“Follow me, I have something to say.” I watch him halt and walked upstairs to the rooftop which looks private for our discussion. I exhaled softly and turn around to look at his face, it was not sunny today, neither was it cloudy, the sky seems lonely just like my heart. “Say it immediately I don’t one to spare more time looking at you.” He was indifferent and nonchalant.“I realize why you are pushing me away now, I can understand your reason, but I have no intention of stealing your mother away from you since I believe I have only one mother which is my dead mother. Although I a
JefferyI gave Suzy enough time, knowing what she must have done after taking the file, I picked up my phone and called her, it was after two rings that she picked the call.“Jeffery.” She called out from the other side of the line like someone who had done nothing and it only made me laugh, this was the reason why monsters are horrible.“You did not call back, so I am returning the call.” I tap my hand on my desk, this would have been more interesting if I would see her face and reaction, but I went ahead anyway. “Have you done it?”“Done what?” She hesitated before speaking and I could sense her fear from where I sat.“I know you took the test results, but I wanted you to see it, that was the reason I took you to my house and left you alone in my room,” I said with a smile as I stare at Cindy’s picture that was on my desk, she must be in tears right now for this shocking discovery.&ldq
JeffreyI took her to my room and lock the door behind us as she looked up at me terrified but I smile with ease as she moves backwards I unbutton my shirt, exposing my naked body, then I glance down at her.“Cooperate, Suzy, take off your clothes,” I told her, but she kept moving back and away from me. “You wanted this don’t you.” I raised my brow and wiggle them at her.“Jeffery…”She wanted to say something but I caught her waist and pulled her close to me, covering her lips in mine as I kissed her roughly, I wasn’t enjoying this so I try to think of the one person I would want to make love to.“I love you,” I said in a whisper as I looked at Suzy’s face, but the person I saw was Cindy, my dear Cindy, I felt something warm roll down my cheek as I went in for another kiss but stopped.“Jeffery, it is me, Suzy.” Suzy’s voiced out and I blink, then I released her
