ALEXIS POVThe next few days in school were like one hell of a week for me. Everyone were keep a long distance with me, while whispering and pointing accusing fingers at me, behind my back. Although it was a good thing that Lori and her friends avoided me for the rest of the week, I couldn't help but feel bad over her bandaged nose which I had heard had broken from the impact of my fist on her face. Although it was quite funny seeing her a little disfigured, I strained myself a couple of times from laughing whenever she would stare at me with so much hate under her heavily bandaged nose. One thing that killed me most was the fact that Damien began to stare at me with so much distaste and irritation, like I was the filthiest thing he had ever come across. It did hurt me more than ever. But asides that, I had been serving my detention pretty well as the Principal had shown me mercy this time around, even when it was her daughter I had assaulted. Next time, she had warned, I would be
ALEXIS' POVMy table is literally the worst mess. It has been a few days ago since Mrs Theodora had given us the group project and I had been so busy with work at Macy's to even as little as get started on the assignment. Now, it is just two days away to submission and I have not had even a paragraph of the essay done. And asking my project partner to come help me is something I know I would never do. Not even in the next life. He literally hates me now and I wouldn't like to go any closer to provoke him. Plus, he didn't even try to have the empathy to ask me about the project. He had literally abandoned the entire thing on my head. And now, I am almost choking on it. I cringe visibly as my eyes take in the clutters on my desk. There are stationary and pieces of paper lying everywhere. There is also a half eaten plate of caeser salad on the table and a half drunk mug of coffee that has spilled a little on the surface of my desk. I delegate inwardly between cleaning my space or ignor
ALEXIS' POVI find it difficult to give my complete attention and concentrate on the note I am making with the way I can feel Donovan's gaze on me, piercing down the nape of my neck and how close we are sitting now. He is currently seated on the chair I was on a few minutes ago while I have moved my notebooks and stationary with me to the bed where I am now working from, lying on my stomach. It is annoying how since he has gotten here all he has done is stay seated majestically like an Alpha that he is while watching me do the entire work all by myself without raising as little as a finger to help.And to think the bloody liar insisted just a while ago that he is here because it is his responsibility to help as my project partner. And what was that when he also mentioned about how I am going to be his luna too?Does he enjoy watching me get confused over his true intentions towards me?"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, a
DONOVAN'S POVBy the time Alexis and I are done with the project, it is around nine at night. When I make to take my leave, she insists on escorting me out. "Don't worry. You take some rest." I try to stop her while doing my best to stop my eyes from cradling the perfect shape of her body. If anyone had told me Alexis Micah, the nerdy loud-mouth of RedWood academy, would be owning thick thighs and a full ass on wide hips behind those thick sweatshirts and sweatpants she always wears, I would have called them a liar straight away.I immediately reflect on the words of Aurora the other day and how she had insisted Alexis ass was the best in the entire school. She wasn't telling lies in any way. The first day seeing her full figure in the dressing room was the biggest shock of my life.And now, that she is standing right across me this moment in a pair of shorts and a flimsy singlet, I confirm that my eyes never deceived me for a second."I'm fine, Donovan. Let me walk you out." She mai
DONOVAN'S POVBy the time I finally arrive home, it is already late. The guards salute me as I walk past the hallway and when I finally enter my room, I collapse on the bed with a tired feel. I sigh as my mind refuses to stop pondering over my last conversation with Alexis. Even though she had not mentioned getting into a fuss with the so-called Ian before, I feel uneasy about the way she had spoken about him. It was as if speaking about him brought back memories she didn't want to think of. I shut my eyes briefly and sigh again as I caution myself to stop overtinking things and jumping into conclusions. Who knows, maybe he is just a big bully of a brother and she is just fed up with his bad habits?I drag my weight off the bed again and undressed before walking to my ensuite bathroom where I take a quick warm shower. All the while I am showering, my thought is still on Alexis. The image of her half clad self back in the dressing room comes to my mind as I wash scented soap off my b
ALEXIS' POVMrs Theodora's class is the first for the day and one after the other, everyone of us in the class presents our project. When it is my turn, I have shaky feets as I stand in front of the class to make my presentation. My eyes first meets Aurora who gives me a big thumbs up and then next to Donovan who offers me a small smile that I return and with a deep breathe, I assure myself that I can do this. I will not be a laughing stock like I have always be.After the presentation, Aurora gives me another thumbs up as I walk back to my seat."How was it?" I whisper to her as soon as my butt kiss the seats."You did amazing." She is all smiles as she tells me but I still don't believe her. She might just be trying to make me feel better because I am her friend. Maybe I did the worse presentation for today. Perhaps everyone else is pointing at me from the back. Laughing at me. Inwardly, I start to wish for the grounds to open up and swallow me straight away.A few minutes later,
DONOVAN'S POV"Because when beggars try to dine on the same table with princesses, they get hurt. Just like the way I will keep hurting you if you keep trying to dining and stealing from me."Lori's words that follow the slap she gave Alexis causes me to close my distance towards the girls. The boys and I had been walking down the hallway to see a group of students gathered, watching a scenario and when we had tried to see what it was that had caught their interest, we had saw it was Lori and her gang bullying Alexis. Her warnings from yesterday had repeated itself in my head and I blame myself for not protecting Alexis from her enough."She is not a begger, Lori. Stop it already." I gently push Alexis behind me and stand in front of her, blocking her from Lori who looks more than pissed that I am protecting her.Lori folds her arms over her bosom and stares at me straight in the eyes."Great. So, she's what? Your mate? Your luna?"I sigh and bit my lip. "You better stop saying shit,
ALEXIS' POVAs soon as I get to work, Ms Bell hurries me back towards the door and a frown appears on my forehead as confusion takes over me."Go. Go. Go. You have to take a break." She says as she shoves me out of the door but I halt to my feet, refusing to budge anymore. I purse my lips and look at her in utmost oblivion and surprise."Why should I take a break." "Because I said so." She lifts a brow at me."Are you firing me, Ms Bell?" I ask and a short moment or realization crosses her eyes followed by a small laugh as she shakes her head at me. "No. Not at all. Come on, Alex. What are you saying?" She continues to laugh. "I am not firing you, girl."Even though I feel a bit of relief now that the woman is not firing me like I feared she was, the frown on my face doesn't wear off. I am still taken aback by the idea that Ms Bell wants me to take a rest. The Ms Bell I know wouldn't care less if I turn out to become a chronic workaholic."Then, why are you asking me out when I am j
