"No," Elena said quietly after a while."No? No what? I don't understand you," She said, staring at her with a confused look on her face."No. As in, I didn't date Craig to get over Matthew. I was just too excited when he asked me out and again, he asked me out in front of everyone, how do you expect me to say no? Besides back then I thought he was cool and hot, I didn't think he would have a crappy attitude like this."Gaby stared at her in disbelief. She was really strange for admitting something like that to her face. How can she say she only accepted Craig because of people when he asked her out? That was fast worse than accepting him only to heal from her feelings for Matthew."You are joking, right? You know what you're saying right? Do you know what that makes you? A pick-me girl, someone who only craves boys' attention," Gaby said, looking at her, still shocked."It seems you don't really understand what I am saying right?""No, I don't. Please enlighten me. Do you mean that y
"Thank you for not trying to do that," Elena said, smiling at her and sighing with relief.She had thought that Gaby was going to try and convince her not to leave Craig because she knows that Gaby and Craig were close friends with each other.She has also thought that Gaby was going to pick sides and when she does, that she was going to pick Craig's side because of how close they were but she was surprised to see that she didn't."Now that your relationship counseling class is over, what do you suggest we do? I know over and over that this class might have ended and that even if it has ended yet, we can't get inside the class," Gaby said after a while."I thought so too. I have no idea what we should do. What do you suggest? If we leave here, we might get punished by the homeroom teacher so I have no idea what we should do."She stood up from the chair and went to the door. She peeped through the window and watched as other students scramble to their classrooms."I think other studen
"It's all right, Gaby. There's no need to be dramatic besides I didn't get worried too much," Elena said, smiling at her.Silver rolled her eyes at that statement and frowned her face, not even bothering to hide it.Gaby saw the look on her face and decided that she had to resolve the issue between Elena and Silver before they all leave the room."I know but you must have missed something," Gaby said, smiling at Elena." What is it? What did I miss?""Well you just told me not to be dramatic but I just wanted to point out who was it that is the drama queen, the dramatic person in this room," Gaby said, smirking at her."I know what you want to say, honey, but it isn't me that is the drama queen and we both know that," Silver said, sticking her tongue out at Gaby."Yeah, I know it isn't you. It's Elena, who else?" "Gosh and here I thought that you weren't going to mention my name,", Elena's said, rolling her eyes playfully at Gaby.Silver ignored Elena's statement and just cleared her
"Hey Silver, y'all going home already?" Craig asked as he stood outside the classroom in front of the hallway waiting for Elena and Gaby.He had purposely decided to wait in front of the classroom for them because he knows that they wouldn't want to talk to him so he would apologise to Elena.He got unnecessarily mad at Elena and spoke some things which he should have said all because of the darn suspicion Sarah sowed in him.He watched as Silver smiled at him and nodded his head in satisfaction. Thank goodness, they haven't told her yet.Silver was the aggressive one among them and would get really mad if she finds out that he had accused Elena of double dating wherever intentional or not."Yes. Oh, I see why you asked," Silver said smiling at him and looking from him to Elena with a funny face, "You want to borrow her from us as usual right?""I'll go home with you, Silver. I don't want to be in the same space as him, " Elena said, glaring at Craig. "Why? What's going on? What happ
Silver moved closer to Clara wondering what she wanted to tell her. It probably has something to do with Elena seeing as she said that she was glad that Elena and Gaby were not with them."I know I was right in asking you. You're close friends with Elena, right? I'm sure to know everything about her, don't you?" Clara said whispering to her."Uhmm, I guess so," Silver said, uncertainly.She didn't want to admit that she knows everything about Elena in case her mother was asking about something that she shouldn't know.She likes Mrs. Clara but her friend was Elena. If she asks her about something Elena definitely does not want her mom to know, she won't say a word and would only say that she doesn't know a single thing by about it."Come on, you don't guess so, you really do know everything about her stop trying to be modest," Co has said, smiling at her."Umm, okay. So? What's it about? What do you want to ask me? You have to talk now, you don't want Gaby and Elena coming here and lis
“What's what about?" Elena asked her, looking at her confused."Oh come on! I'm tired of you all pretending not to know what I'm talking about. You know what I mean, what's the issue with Craig? You sounded so mad at him earlier in school, what was it? What happened? ""Oh, that? I thought you knew already. Never mind him, he was just being the jerk that he is, " Elena said, shrugging."Well it's obvious he is a jerk, sometimes I wonder maybe you were blind for not seeing it. My main question now is how is he a jerk in this case? Why does it seem like you are avoiding the question?""I'm not avoiding the question. I just thought that it was best if you don't know, after all, I have decided on what to do about it.""I want to know. Tell me, what exactly did he say and what did you decide?" Silver asked, indignantly.She wasn't going to let Elena be until she told her why she wanted to break up with Craig. She suspects it had something to do with Craig cheating on her and if she finds o
Craig paced around his room. He was really worried about what to do. He knows that Silver was surely going to find out from Elena and Gaby what he said to Elena earlier and that whatever decision Elena was going to make, she would play a very huge part in influencing it.He suddenly stopped and then used his hands to part his hair. He had to do something about it. He can't let Silver and Elena get really mad at him.He sighed and took slow steps to the window to see if there was anyone around. When he couldn't see anyone, he grabbed his phone and quickly dialed Gaby's number hoping that she would at least tell him what Elena and Silver had finally decided to do.He continued pacing about the room until she picked up the call on the third ring and he stopped, smiling as he did so."Hello? " Her voice said, sounding sleepy and irritated.He glanced again at the caller ID to make sure that she was the one he had dialed."Hello Gaby, sleeping already?" He asked in a playful voice, hoping
Matthew slumped on his bed and let out a huge sigh. It has been a week since he left and he really wanted to try and forget about Elena but almost everything he did here, reminded him of her. There was a fellow classmate of his whose hair color was exactly like Elena's and whose name was Elana. He normally felt his heart skip anytime he heard the teacher call her name. She was a reminder of Elena to him every time and it always hurt his heart. "Gosh, it's getting so hard to forget her and her I thought that it would be easier, " he muttered to himself and sighed deeply. He had to do something to forget her, maybe hang out with some friends. He hasn't been able to make a lot of friends since he came and he knew why. Back then in school when he and Elena were much younger, he had always relied on her to make friends for him since he got shy whenever he talked to people and tha
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
