"Arabella!" I screamed at the top of my voice, searching everywhere in the party, trying to find her. My mind raced, knowing she was last seen with those guys who came up to us. Where on earth could she be? "What's up hunny?" A guy called at me, while I forced my way through the crowd of bodies. Moving over to the other parts of the building where the party was been held, I found people in corners talking, drinking, some even making out, despite being surrounded by a massive crowd. Every corner you turned to, you'd be met with one thing or the other. I came to realize that College was nothing like high school. In fact, it's best described as the opposite of High school, composing of different people, crazy, intolerant, Calm, weird, Scary. Rounding a corner, I saw a group of people, sniffing coke from a wide table, while being cheered on by people around. It was like a contest being held, with people deciding who could inhale the most. Some betting on the other end, others jus
A loud shriek escaped my lips at the sight of Ashley stood on her bed, dancing to the loud music blasting from her speakers. "Nia!" She called my name, Snatching a robe from her closet and wearing it over her body. Quickly turning down the volume of the music, she came over."Didn't know you would arrive now" She uttered. "Well, do you want me to leave?" I asked immediately. "Of course not!" She snapped. I couldn't believe I had taken a ride all the way from my school down to UCLA, all just to see Ashley. Her persuasion had brought me here. She specifically made it clear that she didn't wanna go to the same school as Cameron. Not even Jordan. She decided to be far away from everyone and do her thing herself. "I've missed you" Ashley murmured, squashing me into her embrace and pulling me to take a seat on the bed. "Mason just left a few hours ago" She said to me. "He's the sweetest, Y'know" "I'm totally in love with him, Nia" "He's got the cutest eyes, and a beautiful smile a
Third person POV…Out in the halls of USC, laid in one of the dorms was Cameron, his eyes focused forward at his friends who had come visiting unannounced. They stopped by with bottles of liquor, sprawling the whole room with items they brought. "We didn't see you at the spot today. Why?" Ryder, a friend of Cameron's asked. He had one leg placed on a table, while the other rested on the floor. "Just didn't feel like turning up" Cameron responded in a low voice. He was laid shirtless on his bed, with his arms folded across his face, while he filled his head with random thoughts. "Hence, the reason why we came over here to make you feel more like yourself" Ethan spoke, walking through the door with a crate of beer. A smirk appeared on Cameron's face as he sprung to his feet, grabbing a cup, while filling it up with liquor. "Most times I hate you guys" He said. "The feeling's mutual, dude" Wess replied, getting up from a couch which was by a corner of the room. Their chatter an
I stepped into the open gardens, the venue of Jordan and Cara's wedding, with Arabella at my side, we moved forward to take a seat, waiting patiently for Cara to walk down the aisle. Guests were already gathered, family, well-wishers and even some maids of the Williams mansion moved around making sure everything was going well. I saw Denna at a corner, talking to some people, being attentive to them while they ordered for her to get some things done. Turning around and locking eyes with me, she flashed a smile my way, waving and then moving away, doing as she was told. "Are you okay?" I said to Arabella. "I'm fine" She responded in a low voice. "You sure?" "What if Mrs Williams sees me?" She uttered to me immediately. "There are a lot of people here. She wouldn't wanna take chances ruining this bliss, Arabella" "Just calm down" I spoke to her. My eyes rested on Jordan who walked in with some guys acting as Groomsmen, all moving forward towards the priest to take their place
I felt a pair of arms, firm and warm, snaking around me, while soft kisses were showered on my neck. A smile grew on my lips as soon as I came to realize it was Cameron. I could tell from his masculine mist, and how warm his hands felt. He turned me around to face him, crashing his lips against mine, pulling me to his chest. "You look beautiful" His breath fanned my earlobes while he complimented the white dress I was clothed in. "Do I?" I uttered, teasing him, while kissing his lips softly. "Uh!" He groaned. "Don't do that, You know I find it hard, resisting you" He uttered in clenched teeth, his hands pulling on my waist while I smiled at the reaction I was getting from him. "Why didn't you join the groomsmen?" I said to him in a serious tone. A sigh escaped his lips as he stared into my eyes. "That's not my sort of thing" He muttered. "It's your brother's wedding" "You should do whatever it takes for him to be happy........... Don't tell me you specifically refused to be
Hours after the wedding ceremony..."Not fully clear on that, but for now, we'll make do with what we have" I heard Layla whispering to someone whom she was talking to over the phone. She held the phone tightly to her ears, her eyes searching around at every second, looking like she was hiding from someone."I don't know!" I heard her snap immediately, and then she turned around, shrieking immediately at the sight of me. A frown appeared on her face, while she shifted her eyes behind me. She didn't bother saying a word, instead, she walked right past, ignoring the fact that I was stood there.I turned around to see Ashley staring at me with soft eyes. Opening my mouth to speak, she did the same. Both calling our names at the same time. "I'm so sorry for how I acted earlier. It was wrong for me to flare up like that. Ignore all what I said, it- "Nia" She called my name, getting me to stop talking. "I should be the one apologizing" She uttered, moving over to me and grabbing my
Weeks had gone by since the wedding, and things were back to normal. By that I mean, College work, resuming our activities, each one of us being in different locations, and waiting till the next time we got the chance to see each other. I was sat in the College cafeteria with Arabella, having lunch and conversing. We were both discussing of Arabella's feelings for Logan, and how they were slowly fading away. She had made it clear to me that she was no longer in love with him, and just wanted to live her life whilst she still could. From the way she spoke, I could tell she was pained of the fact that he had found someone else to be with, but she said nothing about it. We chattered on, laughing and engaging in random conversations, when a voice interrupted us. "What's up, Bruna?"I looked up to see a guy grinning at me, while drawing a seat out. He had long dark hair, and a tan smooth skin, which was admirable to the eyes. "The name's Nia, not Bruna" I corrected him, while turning
I walked into the room, barging in on Cameron and Hayley, laughing and chatting about something unknown to me, both sat so close to each other, on the bed which belonged to Cameron. A look of Shock crossed his face, seeing my figure standing by the doorway of his dorm, while gazing at him. "Babe" He called, springing from the bed and moving over to me. Hayley who was dressed in just a tank top and booty shorts stood up immediately, moving closer to me, while saying "Hello" I forced myself to smile at her, just so as not to appear rude, but the moment she walked out the door, my smile faded. "You didn't inform me you were coming" Cameron spoke up. "I could be having lectures, you know" He added. "Why was she in your bed?" I asked in a low voice. At this point, I knew I was already acting like a jealous girlfriend. But I didn't care. I watched Cameron as he sighed, rubbing his forehead and resting his gaze on me. "Nia" He began. "Why do you keep making this an issue?" "I've
