2024-10-29 19:42:56Silver and Gaby banged on Craig's door with a worried look on their faces. They had just rushed out of their car and were really worried after the call that Craig placed across to Gaby.
"Craig? Craig?" Gaby called , sounding really scared.
"Craig? Open up! We are here," Silver yelled.
Craig jolted up from his sleep only to hear the sounds of Gaby and Silver yelling at his door.
He stood up and walked closer to the door only to hear Gaby's voice breaking as though she wants to break into tears.
He quickly the door and peered at them with a small smile on his face.
"Why were you yelling?" He asked, blinking his eyes.
"What happened? Are you alright,Craig? Why did you call me like that?" Gaby asked, staring at him surprised and peering behind him to see if something happened.
"Yeah Craig. You look okay for someone who ju

Elena jumped out of her bed as her alarm jolted her awake. She rubbed her eyes and saw that it was already daylight and quickly rush to the bathroom. She had gone to her room as soon as she spoke with her mom last night and quickly checked her texts, refreshing her messages to see if she received any text from Gaby or Matthew or Silver but she didn't see one. She plans to have a long talk with Silver once she gets to school to know why she wasn't called, not even once, to let her know that she won't be able to make it. "Breakfast is ready, Elena, come downstairs once you're done," Her mom yelled from the kitchen. She quickly rushed out of the bathroom and hurriedly dressed up, grabbing her bag and going out of her room. "Good morning Mom, "She said, walking past her mom and stretching her hands to grab a glass of water. "Morning love, how are you doing?" Clara asked, staring at her carefully. "I'm fine, what's with the look?" S

They got to the school and Elena got out of the car, scanning her eyes around the parking lot for Matthew's car and sinking her face when she couldn't find it."What's up? Looking for something?" Craig asked, looking at her."Uh? Nothing. Just wondering why the school's parking lot suddenly seem empty," She said quietly and closes the passenger door."Yeah ,it seems somewhat empty. By the way, have you heard from Matthew? I haven't seen him in a while and I'm guessing you probably keep in touch with him since you're close friends," He said, staring straight a her."I haven't heard from him. It's actually what I just thought of this morning," Elena said, avoiding his eyes.She didn't want to let him know that she had texted Matthew and called him but hasn't been getting any reply."I wonder what he's up to. He missed some volleyball practice and might miss their big game coming up soon. I hope he gets over what is wrong with him. I can't have

"There's nothing I can do about that, Elena. I have done what I can for you. A student is not allowed to leave the school while the school activities is going on. It's wrong and it'll be impartial of me to let you go when I refuse to let others," He said, after some time.He was right when he told Clara that her daughter and Matthew had something between them but were wrong in thinking they were dating.Matthew wouldn't leave without saying goodbye if they were dating, that's unless she did something to hurt him.Judging by the way she behaved, she probably did someone to hurt him. That's probably why she was trying to go and apologize to him."Please," Elena said, getting up from the seat and falling to her knees."Get up, get up right now. It hasn't gotten to that. Why do you really want to meet with him? It's obvious he doesn't want to see you. If he did he would have told you before leaving.""I just need to see him this last time. I promise I would do anything you say after this.

"No, he's not sick, he's just transferring to another school. I mean he has transferred already," Silver answered her, sounding anxious.Miss Thompson was always nosey but she hadn't ever experienced her nosiness since she got into the school and it's really annoying that she has to experience it at a time like this."Really? Why? I mean this school is good enough for him. Wasn't he in the volleyball team that won not quite long ago? Why would he want to transfer schools?" She asked, looking at Silver, oblivious to the way Elena stared at her."Well, that's exactly what we are trying to find out by going to meet up with him. When we get him, we'll make sure to tell him that you asked," Silver answered through clenched teeth."Now hold on, young lady. You will not speak to me like that, okay? I have every right to ask you these questions because I'm your teacher. If I don't ask these questions and something happens to you, won't I be blamed?" She asked, peering at Silver through her gl

"Oh no! Why is there traffic?" Elena sighed, looking outside the window. They were in the car, on their way to the airport, and were running out of time. "I have no idea. I mean, it's not even early, no one has to rush you to go to their jobs so why is there traffic?" Gaby said also, tapping her hands against her forehead. "This is the road leading to the airport. There's usually traffic around here and it's always on days like this. I've heard my mom say something like this, " Silver said quietly. They all sighed and leaned their heads on the back of their seats. They had struggled to leave the school only to end up getting stuck in traffic. "Can't believe what Sarah said. What? I am a pick-me, girl? She must have romanticized her brain in a way that she thinks I'm the one, not her," Silver said, fuming as she remembered what silver said to her earlier. "Maybe she was talking herself. Isn't she the pick-me, girl? Follows Matthew everywhere he goes and forces him to hang out wit

"You guys kisses recently?! When he surprised you by taking you to that concert? Gosh, Elena! At this rate, o don't think you deserve to see him again. You really shattered his heart to pieces and you did it on purpose!""I was only trying to protect our friendship. I thought if I acknowledged that I knew he was in love with me, we might end up separating because of one thing or the other.""Protect what friendship? The one you ruined by trying to protect? He took his time to plan a surprise for you knowing fully well how much you love those artists, something that your boyfriend couldn't do for you.""Now I understand why you were both having arguments back then. If I was the one I would have gotten mad at you and wouldn't even speak to you again, honestly," Gaby said, shaking her head."I know right? That was so heartless of you. I wish we could just.." Silver said, interrupted by the sounds of horn from the car behind them."Let's go. We'll resolve this matter on the way. Don't thi

Matthew stared at her in shock, she was the last person he expected to see. Not after what she had done to him. He walked closer to her then halted, trying to withstand the urge of trailing his fingers down her smooth, plump cheeks. "Matthew, I…." She said but got choked on her words. She tried making out sounds but they only came out as a wheeze. Her nerves were caving in on her as she was unsure of the next step to take. "I'm surprised to see you here, Elena. Silver told you right?" Matthew asked calmly, then stared at her. "Yea, she did.. I can see that you're ready to leave." She said. "You look beautiful," He complimented her on purpose, trying to avoid talking about the reason she was there. "Thank… Thank you," She stuttered and fiddled with her fingers. She was avoiding his gaze because of reasons best known to her. When he first saw her, he thought she would grab him for a hug and ask him not to go anywhere, that she loved him. But none of that happened, rather she stoo

When he saw that she wouldn't say anything else, he clutched tightly to his black leather bag and said,"I have to go now. I need to clear my head and think of the next thing to do. Take care of yourself," He patted her on the shoulder and walked away from her briskly towards the plane.He didn't bother looking back or he would be tempted to run back to her and pull her to himself. He was the last person to get on the plane, and as soon as he got in, the door closed.*********Elena sat on the chair at the visiting area and gripped the bottle of chilled orange juice she had bought tightly. She had drunk it in a rush thinking it would numb the pain she felt within but I didn't.She watched the plane fly into the air and realized that she was the biggest fool ever for letting him go. She knew that she was able to stop him from studying elsewhere but pride didn't allow her to apologize.She should have told him that she loved him too and not Craig but the words were stuck in her throat.

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 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.

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.

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 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?

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
