2024-10-29 19:42:56Matthew 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 thaRelated chapters

Elena glanced at her phone and sighed. So this is how it was going to be, huh? Maybe hasn't called her once since he traveled to Australia as an exchange student.She had expected him to call at least once, just to let her know that he has seen the school and was adjusting to the environment but he didn't call, not even sending a text message.He didn't even bother telling his mom or, if he decides that he doesn't want to contact her directly, he should have told Silver about it but he didn't, or so she thinks.She groaned inwardly and decided to swallow her pride. She had made up her mind not to call him or text him until he texted her but she has to do so before him.She got up from her bed and decide to go downstairs. She should at least get Mom if she had gotten any texts or if Matthew's mom told her anything about Matthew's arrival or the way his school was."Good morning Mom," she greeted, cheerfully as she walked into the kitchen.Her Mom was baking some cupcakes and making pan

"What? No way! "Silver gasped."Yes way," Elena said, fattening her seat belt and closing the passenger's door well."Is he in there now? With your mom?" She asked, glancing at Elena's house."Yes. He's still in there. He actually offered to take me to school but I refused. It will be kind of embarrassing to arrive at school in his car and that will make the school gossip see something new to gossip about me, " Elena said, rolling her eyes. "why did you refuse? It would have given them something to talk about, yes, but it would have also made them know their place when it's time to talk about you," Silver said."Let's just go. I have a feeling that my mom is watching us. That woman won't let me rest especially since she had just shown me that her relationship with my principal had gotten to a higher level and not just a normal Fling that she usually has.""Wow. Still can't believe this, " Silver said, proofing the keys in the ignition and driving away from Elena's mom's driveway. Th

“Don't even bother asking her. She is probably still recovering from the shock that she just received this morning," Silver said to Gaby, nodding her head at Elena. "Shock? Okay, this is really getting more interesting. Tell me what happened. I'm dying of curiosity right now," Gaby said, pleading with Silver. "I'll tell you myself, " Elena said quietly after some time, "If I let her tell herself, she must even tell you things that didn't happen," Elena said, glaring at silver. "What do you mean?" Silver asked, smiling. "You know what I mean. Like how you told her what didn't happen that last time? No way I'm letting you tell hey anything that concerns me again," Elena said. "Okay, enough of the blame shifting and hands pointing, tell me what happened. I'm sitting out of curiosity here and you guys are busy pointing hands," Gaby said, pouting. "Alright, alright. I'll tell you, let's just get somewhere safe. I don't want to talk about it here where the walls have ears. Especially

Gaby sighed as she walked to the ladies' toilet in the school. She had taken an excuse from miss Thompson to use the toilet even while the class was still in session. She hurriedly opened the door of the toilet and entered one, quickly easing herself. As soon as she relieved herself, she got out and moved to the sink, staring at her face in the mirror and she washed her hands. She knew exactly why Jeremy wanted to see her and has been avoiding him since. The last time she had a conversation with him, it had not turned out well. She had been watching her favorite drama on TV in her bedroom when he knocked on the door. If she had known who it was, she wouldn't have opened the door for him. She had thought that it was Craig who was at the door so she got up from her seat and quickly opened the door, not bothering to look at the face of the person or even asking who it was. She had just opened the door and walked straight back to the couch to continue watching her movie, a mistake sh

"Gaby? Gaby?! " Silver called as she stared at Gaby who was looking at her face in the mirror, in a daze.She stared at her and watched as Gaby still stared at her face in the mirror, wondering why she was being that way."Gaby?!" Elena called, also glancing at her worriedly."Huh?" Gaby said, shaking it off herself back to reality."What's wrong? Your weekend staring at your face in the mirror, looking dazed. Were you daydreaming?" Silver asked, looking at her worriedly."Uh? No. I guess I was just trying to see if I can see my facial pores from here in the mirror," Gaby lied, forcing a smile on her face at them."Oh..I see. But If that's what you were doing, then you would have noticed it when we came in here, wouldn't you? "Elena asked, glancing at her suspiciously."I would have, yes, if I had not been too focused on my face. I didn't notice you guys because I was too focused on checking for the pores, though I might have heard some sounds of you guys I didn't want to distract mys

Elena checked her phone for the thousandth time that evening, neither had Matthew replied to any of her texts nor had he sent her a message. It had been almost two weeks since he left and she had sent him a message on almost every social media platform she knew he had but she hadn't gotten a reply.She scrolled through the pictures on her phone with a small smile on her face. They were pictures of her and Matthew, pictures that she barely knew who had taken them or when they were taken. Most of the pictures were beaming with happiness and smiles, something that rarely happened when taking pictures with others. Even Gaby and Silver didn't have that ability.Her phone suddenly buzzed with a video call and Elena immediately sat up with a surprised expression on her face. She quickly picked up the call smiling as soon as a girl's face came into view. The girl had a pile of purple hair packed up in abun and held with a pencil. She was donned in a tank top and with the way she was sweating,

"Could you please tell Grandma I'll be coming over for a few days?" Elena asked grabbing a toast from the plate of food on the dining table.Clara stared at her daughter for two seconds and immediately nodded her head. "Sure, sure. I'll ring her up and let her know" she replied walking towards the kitchen to pick up her phone."When do you want to go?" She asked."After school" Elena replied her reply immediately throwing Clara off balance."You mean after school today?" She asked rushing into the dining room to see Elena's quite very calm face."Yes," Elena replied taking a gulp of her tea."Elena, about yesterday…." Clara trailed off but paused in the middle seeing the way her daughter was staring at her."Mom, could you not ask about it?" Elena asked in a small voice that made Clara think she would burst into tears the very next minute. It was the softest Clara has ever seen her daughter. She slowly nodded her head while beaming a smile, "Sure. I won't ask anything" she replied s

Elena could read the surprise on the counsellor’s face after she had asked for the rest of the week off. She had missed school for days before she even hadn’t asked for permission. Asking for permission was so not part of what Elena did, well, usually.Elena rolled her eyes seeing Sarah leaning on the wall as soon as she stepped out of the counsellor’s office.“Seeing the way you look like and the way Gaby flared up when something merely stepped on her in class, I want to believe that Craig broke up with you and Gaby had something to do with it,” Sarah said with a snarl and Elena rolled her eyes.“Is this something you put on your to-do list? Every day?” Elena asked with a blank face before shaking her head.“I am warning you, Sarah, you stay away from me” Elena added attempting to walk away but Sarah was quick to block her path.“Not so fast Elena” Sarah replied.“Craig broke up with you, right? He had something with Gaby right? They always looked so weird though so it’s no surprise”

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.

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.

“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.

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
