It was almost a month since Matthew and Elena had started their fight and had no intentions of clearing it. Things were better now, apart from the occasional glancing at each other, everything else did well. Elena now had Craig, whom everyone knows was hitting on her.
“So…” Gaby called out as they got out of Silver’s car.Elena eyed her, putting her in her scrutinizing gaze as they walked towards her locker.“I bet she’s hiding something. She has been acting weird ever since yesterday.” Elena added, turning to silver to back her up.“I can’t say.” Silver replied without looking at Elena.Elena glanced back and forth between the two of them. If Gaby was acting suspiciously, she could still try to get a hold of that. But Silver acting the same way was something that was top-notch suspicious.“What’s going on?” She asked as they stood beside her locker.“Hey Matthew,” Silver greeted, making Elena’s heart jump up.The day ended with Elena and Craig being the hot topic, and Bianca appearing in a few cases. During the cafeteria period, both of them were nowhere to be found. The surprise he had done for her in the class was something that no one had seen before, even annoying some girls while some cheered for her.With the help of Gaby and Silver, immediately she entered the class, gifts and letters were arranged on the table, and she read every one of them out before she could seat down. As if it was being planned, the teacher did not come in until she was done reading and the other student was done fawning. All this irritated Matthew to the bone, leaving the class until they finished everything they were doing.“Elena,” Gaby called out at the end of the day from silver’s car.“Are you guys leaving me out or what?” Elena asked with a raise of her brow as she approached both of them.“Nope. We’re not leaving you out. I’m leaving the both of you out. Since you guys are now taken and I’m the single
“Have a nice day babe.” Craig said as he dropped kissed Elena on the lips, turning to walk to their building.Elena watched him disappear before opening her locker and bringing out her books, putting her bag inside it before closing the locker.“Ahh.” She jumped up in shock before a hiss escaped her lips.“I’m not interested in talking to the both of you. Live your single life and you, your ‘taken’ life.” She said as she moved to walk away.“But he dropped you at home already, why are you mad at us?” Gaby asked as she blocked Elena’s path.“Because you didn’t ask me if I wanted to follow him out or not. You just threw me under the bus.”She replied, eyeing the both of them and moving to pass another side.Silver wrapped her hand around her neck, a smile booming on her lips as she glanced at her.“How did the ride go?” She asked.Elena removed her hand, looking at both of them and shaking her head negatively.“I get why I became friends with Gaby, but Silver, how did we become friends?
Silver stared at Matthew in shock, surprised at the word that just came out of his mouth. With her wide mouth agape, begging for her to close it and her throat trying to find some words to say to him, she brought her mouth to a close, clenching her jaw and averting her gaze away from him.“So that’s the end of the friendship. Now I get it.” She muttered before looking up at him again.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you in the school clinic all of a sudden?” She asked, raking his body with her eyes.“Felt a little tired and nauseous, so here am I..”“Are you pregnant?”“What!” Matthew almost yelled out with widened eyes.A deep laugh resounded from Silver’s throat, her face full of smiles."That’s good. Take care of yourself." She said and moved to stand up from the bed."Congratulations on finally leaving the single team."Silver stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Matthew, her lips stretching into a wide smile."I could say the same to you, but I don't know your status
“Elena?” Sarah called out as she eyed her, wondering what she was here to do.As Matthew heard her name, he rolled to the other side of the bed, trying to get a peek at the door to see if she was the one or not.“Sarah, who is there?” He called out, making Sarah clench her jaw.“What do you want?” Sarah questioned.Elena eyed her, feeling irritated and, at the same time, annoyed at her. She was here to see Matthew in the school clinic, not in one of their outings or any of their house again, so why was she acting so big?“Excuse me.” She said and pushed her out of the door, walking in and clashing with Matthew's eyes immediately.She felt her heart stop for a moment; the words she had rehearsed to say and how she would act jumped out of the window immediately. The door closed as Sarah entered, walking towards Matthew and taking a seat beside his bed.“Hey,” Elena called out quietly as Matthew stared at her, not knowing what to say.Her coming to check on him was a surprise to him, esp
“You look happy with her. I should meet her someday.” Matthew said.Elena's smile broadened on her lips as she felt herself easing towards him. She had just opened her mouth to say something when the door opened, and Sarah walked in, halting in her step and looking at both of them before walking towards them with the tray.“Here.” She said, placing it on Matthew's lap as she took her seat on the other side of the bed.Elena stood up, meeting Matthew’s eyes before looking at Sarah.“I’m glad you’re fine. I have to go now.” She said as she walked towards the door.Her heartbeat increased as she opened the door, shutting it quietly and closely before it went back to its normal rate again. She gulped down, closed her eyes, and leaned on the door. After ensuring she was calm enough, she opened her eyes only to meet the shock of her life.“What are you doing here?” She asked, moving away from the door.Silver eyed her, a smile threatening to break on her face anytime from now.“I know you’l
“So how do you plan on doing it?” Silver asked Elena as they got out of the car.They joined their hands together, rocking them back and forth as they walked to the locker room. As always, Elena stopped at her locker, turned the key, and opened it to meet a box of chocolate and a red heart waiting for her.“Sometimes, he makes it look like Xavier doesn’t like me in any way.” Silver muttered, rolling her eyes as she walked away.Her locker was just a few feet away from Elena’s own. She turned the key, opening it as her eyes widened in shock.“Elena,” she called out, a smile on her face.Elena walked to her, revealing her teeth because of what was placed in them. In her locker was a flower, some chocolates in a cute box in green, and a note.“Who’s making me feel like I’m not loved now?” Elena said and hit her playfully on the shoulder, walking back to her locker and picking up her book.Taking one of the chocolate and popping it into her mouth immediately, she closed her locker and mov
Matthew was pacing back and forth, his mind restless since he got away from the phone call he received from Silver. Silver was coming to his place suddenly, and he couldn’t help but grow suspicious about it.She only went to Elena’s place and sometimes came with Elena all the time she visited his place. He started getting suspicious of her right from this afternoon in the cafeteria when she asked if he would be at home in the afternoon. He had nowhere to go and was still recovering from his sickness, so he had told her yes, only for her to call some minutes back and say she was on her way to this place.His eyes roamed the entire room, making sure everything was neat, and he couldn’t help but scoff and chuckle in his own way.Why was he acting like his mum was bringing her friend to the house? Or his strict father that was bringing his male friend? He turned on the television and went to the kitchen, taking a bowl and serving himself the noodles he cooked as he got home.He had just r
“I’m sorry.” Elena said, opening her eyes and walking towards him. “I know I was at fault during the Sarah thing, interrupting your dates and doing things that clearly weren’t needed. I just didn’t like her with you, and it seems you two were getting too close.” She added, stopping some meters away from him. “I’m so sorry. I really missed you, talking to you, singing in the car with you, going out with you, and telling you about my new escapades. There was no one I could tell about my mum and the principal on call every morning, sending flowers to her twice in a week and even acting like a gentleman to her. And to be honest, I’m so tired of it.” Elena said. She heard a chuckle escape his throat, setting her heart at ease as she continued. “And Craig has been the nice boyfriend, I didn’t introduce you to him or tell you about him. I’ve heard his history before you come up with that, but he’s still trying his best to make us work.” “In
Daniella could almost curse at the lecturer who was teaching them. she had agreed to meet Theo by 2pmand it was already 2:34 but the lecturer refused to stop talking and continued teaching. Dani was getting annoyed every minute as the lecturer told stories.His phone rang beside him and he picked up the phone and started talking in hushed whispers. After a while, he turned to everyone in the class and wore a fake smile.“We will have to end today’s class here,” he said, and walking out of the class or rushing out of the class would be better. Dani flung her bag over her shoulders as she attempted to rush outside but someone blocked her way.“Hey Dani,” the guy said with a small smile and Dani sighed.“How may I help you, Adrian?” Dani asked and the guy smile.“Today is John’s birthday so we made a small party for him and invited a few people, I was wondering if you wanted to come,” Adrian said and Dani scoffed. John was in her department and one of the most popular guys at school but
Ava pursed her lips as she adjusted her camera lens. After she graduated from university where she had gone to study photography; she easily got a job that brought her a fat salary.Within months, her fame spread around the country for her expertise with the camera. Ava couldn’t help but be proud of herself. She started having a lot of shoots both inside and outside the country.But she had never expected that she would be hired to take model photos for Carl Wilson. Carl Wilson was a top star. He was an actor with numerous awards to his name. carl was also popular for his athletic prowess as he once won a medal for the country at the Olympics.Tall, handsome, and rich; he was totally an eye candy for women. Ava sighed as her assistant walked up to her.“Mr. Carl will be here in a few minutes,” he said and Ava nodded as she walked towards the chair and sat down before bringing out her phone.She smiled upon sighting Instagram pictures of Ria and Damien. She would be lying if she said s
Damien wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans as he drove into the garage. He turned off the car and sighed.“Are you that anxious to meet my mom?” Dani asked as Rai burst into laughter.“I’m not anxious just careful” Damien replied with a smile as they got out of the car.“Careful my feet” Dani sneered as she burst into laughter. Ria smiled at Damien as she took his hand.“Don’t mind Dani, my mom is not that scary” Ria said and Damien laughed.“I know right,” Damien said as they walked into the house.“Mom, good evening,” Ria said as she pecked her home.“I see you brought a friend,” Mrs. Mahmata asked with a small smile.“Yes,” Ria said with a smile.“Mom, this is my boyfriend, Damien. Damien, this is my mom” Ria said as Damien debated on which expression he was supposed to make. He ended up making a weird expression as he greeted Mrs. Mahamta.“Good evening ma’am” Damien greeted as Mrs. Mahmata narrowed her eyes at him. Damien could feel the sweat running down his back as Mrs. Mahmata
Ria twirled her pen as she turned to Damien “I was waiting for you to come back that’s why I haven’t filled out my application yet” Ria confessed.“Jason told me you hadn’t so I didn’t even collect my form yet,” Damien said and Ria smiled.“We think alike too much” Ria cooed and Damien pecked her before tapping her nose.“So which uni are you doing?” Damien asked and Ria shrugged.“I was about to ask you” Ria replied and Damien wriggled his eyebrows at Ria.“I’ll go anywhere you go” Damien replied and Ria chuckled as she opened her phone and scrolled through the list of universities.“What do you think about TAS?” Ria asked and Damien shrugged his shoulders.“Anywhere you want to go baby” Damien replied as Ria shook her head.“Bristol Univeristy then,” Ria said and Damien shrugged. They both brought out their forms and started filling them out. Damien filled his form with his right hand as his hands found Ria’s skirt. His hands went inside her skirt and Ria sucked in a breath as she
“It’s everywhere on the school forum,” Ava said as she scrolled her phone.Damien shrugged his shoulders as Ria fed him a fry “You know how active the school forum had become since Hazel became the president” Damien said and the girls burst into laughter.“Arianna Mahmata!” Zara yelled as she stormed into the cafeteria startling everyone. Ria frowned upon seeing Zara and Penny.“How shameless will you become? You stepped down from being the captain as if you wouldn’t do anything. What the hell did you tell the cheerleaders?” Zara asked as Ria slowly rose to her feet.“Shameless?” Ria asked as she stepped out of her seat.“If anyone should be asked who is shameless I think it should be the both of you. I thought you guys were my friends yet all along I was called a snake and a viper by my friends. I gave everything and did all a friend does and gives to her friend as a friend, I helped you every way I could but what did you guys do? You stabbed me in the back neatly” Ria said as she tu
Ria was the first to get to school the next day. She smiled sweetly at Ava who started clicking pictures of her immediately.“Girl you are glowing” Ava exclaimed and Ria laughed.“Is it because he asked you to marry him yesterday?” Ava asked with a smile and Ria’s smile grew wider.“Maybe, who knows?” Ria asked as they sat down.“Where’s Janet?” Ria asked as Ava scoffed.“She’s like you. if you can’t find her, you won’t see Jason” Ava replied and Ria laughed.Ria raised her head when she saw a shadow fall over her and she snickered seeing Gabriel. As Ria had said, his popularity had hit rock bottom after that day, his friends stopped talking to him, and he was also benched by the soccer team. If he didn’t play in any matches soon; it would really be hard for in to get into a soccer school and talk less of a top-notch one.He had no option but to seek out Ria again. They definitely had to date again even if it was for show. Gabriel gave Ria a small smile as Ria glared at him.“What do
Ria held Damien’s hand as they walked out of the old house. Ria took one last look at the house as they walked outside the house. Ria looked around and was surprised at the number of black cars in front of them.She easily recognized the dragon tattoo on the cars as the same one on Damien’s stomach. She allowed Damien to pull her towards one of the cars and the window was slowly wounded down.“Is it all taken care of?” a voice asked in the car and Damien nodded.“Yes, boss” Damien replied.“Hmmmmm,” the voice said.“Thanks, boss” Damien said his voice solemn.“Take care of yourself, Damien,” the voice said as the glass went up and the cars sped out of sight.“Who were those?” Ria asked and Damien smiled at her.“People you don’t need to pay attention to,” Damien said as he led Ria to the car and he drove off. Damien couldn’t express how he was feeling. He didn’t feel free, he was just calm and he tightened his grip on Ria’s hands as he drove toward his apartment.He had her beside him
Damien rubbed Ria’s back comfortingly as he pulled her along and walked after the burly men. Ria watched as they led them to another part of the fighting ring.The area was surprisingly well-lighted and bright. There were rows of burly men with weapons making Ria latch herself to Damien.“He’s inside,” One of them said as Damien pushed the door opened and stepped inside the room.It was a large spacious office and there was a fan rolling as Damien and Ria stepped into the room. Three men were seated on the sofa in the middle of the office.“Damien, have your seat,” one of them said with a smile and Damien sat down and pulled Ria with him.“Mr. Lee, I have fulfilled our part of the agreement. I have as well also repaid my father’s debt. Isn’t it time to let me go?” Damien asked calmly as one of the men laughed.“It’s hard to let one of our strongest fighters go just like that,” he said and Ria frowned as she looked at the man disgustingly.“Just like that? Viper, I fought for a year” D
Ria watched calmly as Damien wore his gloves. She had watched Damien fight two times after the first time he brought her to the underground ring and she knew how good he was. But considering that after today he wasn’t going to be fighting again; Ria felt weird about it.She knew these people weren’t going to let him go just like that but Damien had assured her that he was going to be fine so she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only pray in her mind.“Don’t look like that, I’ll really be fine” Damien said and Ria nodded as she dropped a small peck on his lips.Damien tapped her nose as they walked out of the room. Everyone was yelling at top of their voices. He walked into the ring and raised his hands at the referee who checked him and Damien turned to his opponent. It was a young man who was a few years older than him. Merely looking at him, Damien knew he was the real deal. He chuckled lightly; these people had finally pushed him to the wall.He walked at Ria who was lookin
