Cindy walked into class the next morning and the class was noisy, as people in the different group were talking, she put down her bag in the locker and walked over to her desk with her notebook.
"Cindy you missed," Kelly told her immediately she sat down. "The fight was so hot.""I can see that." Cindy placed her book. "So who won?" She asked indifferently, she was not interested in it, but to make her friends happy, she had to join the conversation."Mare looking you will know," Kelly told her and Cindy look around, she could see light bruises on few students face. "The troublemakers were the loser."Cindy looks at her friends, puzzled. "And who are the troublemakers?" She asked."You got eyes girl." Kelly looks in the opposite direction. "It is Elle and her group, Salsa was the winner," Janet told her.Suzy, can’t you see how bruised their faces are?” Belle said with a chuckle as she and Bella looked at the girls that were still talking aRusseli and Cindy sat down in the cafeteria for lunch, Russeli had invited her to have lunch with him, as they eat their hamburger and soft drink, Cindy noticed Russeli staring at her.She knew she has to break the silence, she sips her drink and looks up at him. "Are you practising well?""In what?" Russeli looked puzzled by the question asked."Football match, you would be playing with Jeffery's team in Beckswood." She saw the expression on his face changed and she wonders if she had said something wrong."Do you think I don't stand a chance in winning?" Russeli asked her, for what its worth, he hope Cindy had not asked that question, she had watched several of his matches and she knew he always win.Cindy pressed her lips together and hesitated for a while before looking at him, there was no point in lying to Russeli. "To be honest with you, you probably don't." She looks at his eyes and she could see it shrunk.Russeli looked disappointed as he look
Cindy White PovThe school was over as students walked out of the gate, I was with my friends as we chitchat about the field trip on Saturday, we were all excited and even decide to go shopping the next day.I smiled when I saw Jeffery waiting by the gate, he must be waiting for me, I haven’t talked to him all through today, and by the way, we had great fun yesterday.I lift my hands to wave to him but put them down when I saw him staring in another direction, I turn my eyes only to see Suzy walking over to him.I have seen him stare at her in class after she had separated the mean girls, perhaps he was seeing her in a new light since there was a glint in his eyes."Jeffery!" I heard Suzy call out as she ran over to him.I and my friends were already close to them and Kelly had stopped to show Janet and me something, could be a list of things she wants to buy, but my focus wasn't there, I was just staring at Jeffery."Where have you been?" Je
"You want to get married?" I asked him with a thick voice. "You love someone?" I asked again and he closed his eyes momentarily."I know it is hard for you, but Cindy please understand." He opened his eyes and a surprised expression flashed through his face as he stares at my face.I was beaming as I nod profusely. "I love that dad!" I said in a rush and embraced him as I lean my head on his shoulder, smiling like a kid who just got her favourite doll."If you love someone then marry her, I will accept her as my stepmother, I want a mother too, a mother who will love me and who I will also love," I told him with humour.I had lost my mother when I was four years old and I have wished my father her married so that I would have a mother again, a mother that will cook for me and also attend shows with me, and a mother I will chitchat with, cause my father was so old-fashioned."You're not angry?" I heard his surprised voice and refrained from the embraced and l
I walked over to my friends after making sure that my tears were dried up, I wouldn't want them to suspect anything or ask me questions.If they should ask, what would I tell them, that I broke up with Jeffery? They will find it absurd since I never told them I was dating him in the first place."Cindy, did you see what you were looking for?" Kelly asked me when I approached her.I was thinking of an excuse for staying away too long, but here was one thrown at me."Yes have you seen the singlet?" Janet added and I looked at the both of them, the excitement of shopping was still on their faces.They were too busy when I left, they must have thought I went in search of a singlet.I forced a smile and shook my head gently. "I don't like the singlet anymore," I said softly and over to where my bag was. "Girls let's wrap it up," I told them after picking up my bag."Huh!" Kelly looked at me with a shocked expression. "Wrap what up?"I knew they wer
We arrived at the camping ground and everyone seems excited to be far from home and also to see a new scenario, I chat with my friends nonstop, trying hard not to think of anything else.I have not met with Jeffery after we broke up, I have looked away from him and he also seems to understand I meant what I said.I had seen him talking to Russeli, even when I didn't hear what they were saying, but I knew it was something serious caused their expression was hard and they were glaring at each other.He has also been with his friends and also talked to Suzy on the bus and when we arrived at the came, they had sat on the same sit in the bus too.They seem happy together, well I was not staring at them, I only happened to see him every time I look up, though he was not looking my way."Did you see that swimming pool?" Janet asked and I turn my attention back to my friends. "I can't wait to get into it." She hugs herself and smiles broadly. "It will be like heaven
The football match started, and as always the girls started their bets and taking sides, few were chit-chatting and other's were cheering the players on.Kelly turned to me when she noticed I was just watching the field absent-minded. "Cindy, are you still choosing Jeffrey's team?""Ni," I told her immediately, not even wanting to hear his name mentioned around me.Janet and Kelly were both surprised, I knew I chose his team last time, but this time I was rooting only for Russeli, if Jeffery loses, other students who admire him will know there is nothing special in him, but his looks."I choose Russeli's team this time," I said with a serious face and turn my eyes to watch the match, behind I could hear Suzy telling her friends she bet her life to it that Jeffery will win this time too.I was seriously watching this match, I saw Russeli's team dribbling the ball to the other post, but Jeffery always defend their post and kicked the ball off.I could see
After the football match was done by the boys, MR. Henry told us, girls, to get ready to run the marathon, he had told us before the camping that we should all be ready for events that will take place on Beckswood.He handed each of us a map and we glance through it. “This is the map for the marathon race, we will all meet again at the finish line.” He pointed in a direction and we all turned to see.The others that are not participating in the race were all sitting in an elevated place. “The winner will represent our school in the competition coming up next year.” He continued.I glance through the group of the female student who was standing next to me and my eyes met Suzy, I looked down at her feet and saw that she was wearing the Sneakers Jeffery bought for her, I looked up at her face and she was smiling at me, as she put her legs out for me to see it.That evil b**ch!After he was done addressing us, the marathon race begins, ho
I opened my eyes and it was already dark, I was happy that I survived the fall, but my body ache and hurts, I felt like I was bleeding all over, the hole was dark and cold and I curled myself up and hugged my knees as warm tears rolled down my cheek.I looked up and it was already dark, It was noon when we set out for the race and I wonder what time it was now, I had left my phone at the camp and had no way to communicate with the others.“Help me, anybody out there, help please.” I have lost all my strength and I was sure my voice hasn’t gone beyond this hole, who would possibly hear me or come to my rescue, it was late and the only thing around here may be a wild animal.I looked around but I couldn’t see anything, I was too scared, my imaginations run wide, I wonder if this was a wild animal’s home if this was where I would die and no one would find me.I have not seen this hole and if they come to find me, will anyone imagine I a
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
