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 seeAfter 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
As we got back to the camp with Jeffery still piggybacking me, few worried faces stare at us, I knew that some would be wondering how I got so close to Jeffery to make him give me a piggyback ride.“Jeffery,” Suzy called out softly as she saw him, then she turned and glared at me. I was sure that she wasn’t expecting me to come back alive after what she had down and she may be scared that I would tell everyone about her cruel act, but what use was it, telling people that a devil was in their midst.“Cindy are you alright?” Russeli asked me as I was let down by Jeffery, but he was still supporting me, I watched Russeli gasped when he saw the injuries on my body.“We have to go to the camp, Cindy is hurt,” Jeffery answered in my stead as he picked me up, walking back to the camp, I could see the hard glare and face Suzy made, and I purposely wrapped my hands on Jeffery’s neck so that she could.B**tch, you just got se
After having dinner I called Suzy outside to speak with her in private far from the ears and eyes of others, she had not talked to me since I was saved from that hole. The sun was hot as I stood under a large tree waiting for her arrival.“I see you survived the fall.” I heard her cold voice from behind and I turn around to look at her.She had her hair tied back and was wearing jean short and a white singlet and a small field jacket on her shoulder, she was also wearing beautiful flowery slippers, anyone who doesn’t know her evil side will only see her as an angel.I frowned at her speech, she was evil, not even feeling any remorse on what she had down. “You have the lips to say that because I didn’t tell everyone that you had pushed me into that hole and also left my hands when I begged for your help.”I have thought it over, it was because she kept stepping close to me that led me straight back to that hole and she had only
The field race began, I was to participate but the teacher told me not to and Jeffery was against it, so all I did was sit back and watch the race, I have sat there for a long time cheering the other’s up, but when I saw Russeli leaving when the race ended, I turned to Jeffery.“Jeffery, I will be right back.” I wanted to get up, but he held my hands.“You have to go in and rest, where are you going?’ He asked me, I looked over his shoulder and saw Russeli was already going far.“I will be right back.” I pulled my hands from his grip and run off after Russeli.I haven’t talked to him since morning and it was already late afternoon, and I didn’t want to keep malice with him, it will hurt me so much to not talk to Russeli, he was a good person and a good friend.“Russeli,” I called out and held his hands and he looked at me, I saw a smile in his eyes but it was immediately covered with a cold ga
Kelly called me the next day on phone, I was still a bit sleepy when I asked the call, but she was bubbling with joy on the other side of the phone and there was also music playing in the background.I looked at my clock that was on my bedroom desk, it was only 5:00 in the morning, after a long trip yesterday, I wonder how she doesn’t feel tired.“Aren’t you coming yet?” Kelly asked me. Perhaps, noticing that I was still in bed.I rub my eyes to keep myself away as I replied to her question. “Is there an occasion today?” I asked her since I was sure we didn’t make an appointment today.“How can you forget so soon?” Kelly asked in a loud voice that I had to move the phone from my ear before putting it back.“What is it?” My voice was lazy and dragged as I sat up, I was no longer feeling sleepy anymore, once I am awakened, the sleep always seems to disappear.“That means you don&rsquo
Cindy POVDuring lunchtime I took my tray and located Russeli who was sitting alone on a desk in the cafeteria, I walked over to him and sat across his table, but Russeli saw me and was about to get up.“Let’s just eat together,” I said softly looking at him with pleading eyes. Ever since I told him about me and Jeffery, he had always ignored me like flu and gave me the cold shoulder, he has changed from the Russeli I knew.“I don’t want to eat next to you, I don’t even want to talk to you or see you.” He held his tray and his eyes were darkened as he gave me a cold shoulder.“Even if it is for the memory of being friends with me in the past?” I try to make up an excuse to have him speak to me and stay, maybe this way we can become friends again, after not talking to him for some days now, I felt something was missing deep inside of my heart.Russeli looked at me with his forehead furrowed and his lips pr
"Cindy." She said softly as I walked closer to her after my father gave me an assuring smile. "Good evening ma'am, nice to meet you." I handed her the flower I got for her and she glances at it for a brief moment, then she looks up at my face again, still with that looks."Cindy, thank you." Her eyes couldn't leave my face and I had to smile awkwardly, I wonder if I didn't do my makeup well, or if I had something on my face, but there she was, staring at me with her clear blue eyes. "I am Louisa." She introduced herself."I am happy to see you Louisa and you look very beautiful." She was extremely gorgeous and I couldn't keep my mouth shut about it."Thanks for the compliment, you look beautiful." She looked at my father and he has a handsome smile on his face.I don't know why I felt a bit strange while looking at the face of this lady, she looks so familiar to someone I know, but I can't just picture it.We sat down and ordered something to eat, while eati
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
