"Why were you so adamant on going home with Silver?" Craig asked Elena as soon as they got inside the car. Elena stared outside the window, trying to collect her thoughts and didn't hear what Craig was saying. She still remembered the look on Silver's face when she said she wanted to go home with her. She could tell that she was hiding something from her and that whatever she was hiding involved Matthew's disappearance from school. She took a deep breath and turned to face Craig to ask him why he hadn't started the car yet only to see him looking at her with a strange look on his face. "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked when he still kept quiet for a while. "Is something wrong with you? Why are you acting weird? You've been acting strange since morning, what's wrong?" He asked, still looking at her. "There's nothing wrong with me, Craig. Why did you ask?" "You say there is nothing wrong with you yet I asked you a question some minutes ago and you did
"Oh alright. Well, it's best if I don't come in with you then," He said and turned on his car."Yeah. Bye , I'll see you tomorrow," She said and hurriedly ran out of the car before he brings up something else to discuss.She got inside the house and ran straight op to her room, not bothering to check if her mom was home."Elena! Is that you?" Her mom shouted as soon as she got to her room.She ignored the call and quickly took out her cell phone to dial Matthew's number.
"Mom, did Silver call?" Elena asked.She had just woken up from her nap and checked her phone only to find out that it's already late. She had rushed out of her bedroom when she heard some voices downstairs thinking it was probably Silver and Gaby who were waiting for her."Honey, Have you got no respect anymore? Didn't you see that I'm with someone?" Clara asked as she and the principal stared at Elena with disbelief."Mom, come on! Just answer this question. Did Silver or Gaby call at all? Did anyone of them come here while I was sleeping?" Elena whined, ignoring the look on her Principal's face and her mom's reprimand.
Silver 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
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
