Katherine Thornes

Rachel is family, and my dad would be so unhappy if I don't attend her birthday party. He's trying so hard to make Rachel and I bond plus, I really like her too.

But then there's Alexander, I can't promise and cancel a date twice because of both my mothers.

Then again, they're my mothers and family comes first. I have to do the right thing even though it would make Alexander unhappy again.

I dropped my phone and picked up Alexander's folded T–shirt. I stepped out of my apartment and headed to his. I knocked on the door and a few moments later, it creaked open and Amalia opened up for me.

"Hi! You're back." She smiled. "Come in." She added, opening the door wider to accommodate me

"Thank you." I smiled too, stepping into the house.

Alexander was in the living room, dressed in another tucked-in shirt and a pair of black trousers this time. He was putting on his cufflinks. I have to admit, he looked so hot and classy in this outfit, I was already feelin

    Katherine Thornes"Really, dad?" I beamed at my dad's announcement. I couldn't believe my ears, I was going to be the one who would take over my father's business. My father's billion-dollar business if I may add. Wow. Being thrilled was an understatement for how I felt. "Yes dear, anything for you. And you are the rightful heir to the dynasty. You're smart, intelligent and you're strategic. The business would flourish better in your hands." My father added and it felt so nice hearing him compliment me. He always did, right from when I was little. He encouraged me and always made me feel better about myself. I've missed him so much. I've missed this so much. "Thank you so much, dad. I'm honored, really." I appreciate him, truly meaning my words. This is honestly going to be a life-changing step. "You know what Katherine, keep this between me and you, and don't let your father know." Rachael began and I started to laugh because my father was literally just across the table and she

    Katherine Thornes"WHAT?" I questioned, shocked to my bones at what Alexander had just said. But there's no way we could possibly have a test tomorrow, all tests were supposed to begin next week. How come Mr. Thomas fixed his test for tomorrow? And how come I wasn't aware? Or is Alex trying to mess with me? I am always current on anything concerning exams, studies, and tests. So what's the meaning of this now?"What do you mean Alex? There's no test tomorrow, Mr. Thomas never announced that." I corrected him, Alex must be out of his mind or trying to play a sick prank on me right now. "Do you have memory loss, Katherine? Mr. Thomas told us today in Chemistry class that— oohhhhh." Alexander cooed in realization. "You weren't at school today because you decided to get drunk and pass out the whole day," Alexander added, a hint of mockery in his tone. I needed that. My bad life decisions and choices had led me to get drunk and miss a whole day of class. Now, I have nine hours until sch

    Katherine Thornes My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing my senses picked up were the beeping sounds of machines around me and then the antiseptic and saline smell associated with hospitals hit my nostrils. I absolutely hated the smell of hospitals, it was nauseating. I was in a hospital. But what brought me here? Oh yeah right, I remember now. I panicked so much about my test that I got a high fever and passed out. I struggled to sit atop the bed and when I managed to do so, I was met with quite a shocker. Rachel and my father were seated right in front of me. Was I hallucinating? Had I hit my head so hard against the concrete floor during my fall that I was now seeing things?"Oh thank Goodness, you're awake Katherine!" Rachel gushed, immediately standing up from her seat and throwing her arms around me in a hug. I noted that Katie was also here too. Off course she would, she was the one who most likely brought me here. But what about Dad and Rachel? Wha

    Katherine Thornes: I was later discharged and asked to go home, Katie drove me home and took care of me before leaving. She cooked some food and we ate and watched some movies before it started getting late and she had to get home. Katie bid farewell and left. I was feeling quite lonely after Katie had left and it was sometime in between my boredom, I realized that I hadn't met with Alexander yet and thanked him for all he did for me.For caring for me. And for that note of encouragement, I really needed it. I stepped out of my house and went to his apartment, I knocked on it and waited for a response. I remembered I still owed him a date, and a kiss too. It made me feel nervous, excited, and scared at the same time. I knew he would talk about it the moment he opened the door. But he never did. I knocked on the door again and didn't get a response. It was almost nine pm, and I wondered why he wasn't home. But then again, it's Alex we're talking about here — he's most like

    Katherine Thrones The next that followed was me crashing and landing on the soft grass and a larger body fell on top of me, the weight was crushing — the weight of a jock, an athletic. Alex's weight. Alex saved me. Holy Shit! Alex saved me! And he's right here in front of my mother's house on top of me! My mother would freak out and get angrier than she already is right now! I quickly pushed Alex off me and got up at the same speed, my eyes spiraling to the door to affirming my thoughts that my mother was standing there angrily, ready to pounce on me and Alex too. He was the reason I was failing apparently, she hated him and the mere concept of him. And seeing him here right now would make her flip!But on the contrary, my mother wasn't there. The door was shut. I looked around to check if she had switched positions but she was nowhere around. After comparing me to my father, she must've angrily gone back into the house and thankfully didn't witness what had just happened now.

    Alexander Walters Katherine continued crying, and I let her be and decided not to stop her. I wanted her to empty the content of whatever was bothering her and I didn't want to pry or ask any questions about it. But I knew that all wasn't good. So we drove in silence — except for her sobbing sounds and sniffling that was heard, and suddenly stopped. I looked to see that she had fallen asleep, and I think I've said before that watching Katherine sleep was one of my favorite activities in the world. She always looked so peaceful so at rest and undisturbed. It started to rain, not too heavily though, and we were almost home. She needed her rest, today had been a long day for her, and maybe eat too, I don't know if she's had anything to eat ever since. "Alex…" I heard her call my name and I was snapped out of my thoughts. I thought she was asleep. I faced her, her eyes were barely open and they looked so puffy and red from her crying. "What's up?" "I want us to go drinking." She st

    KATHERINE THORNE The feel of sun rays touching my skin was what made me come awake, and my eyes fluttered open. Immediately they did, an overwhelming headache ravaged my senses. I felt my forehead and the beads of sweat that lined it stained the back of my hand—I was having a fever, and my temperature was high. I observed my environment now and found out that I was in Alexander's bedroom again and then instantly, the memories of last night came flooding back. How I had flimsily thrown myself at Alexander, and kissed him. A pang of guilt and disgust at myself gripped my heart, I had let down my guard and broken down my walls. I threw away my self–respect and shamelessly kissed him. All because I was intoxicated. I'm never taking alcohol again. And I mean it this time. Just then, the door opened and Alexander came into the room. I was startled by his sudden presence and I also felt an awkward wave engulf me as he came in. I knew my cheeks were stained red with embarrassment and I w

    Katherine ThronesI zipped my bag shut and that meant I was done packing and ready to head back to my apartment. I spent an overall of three days with Alexander recovering until I felt better. We went to school together all through, he'd drive us there and drive us back, he even skipped football practice all through the period because he didn't want to keep me waiting for long, and immediately after the bell rang, we would be on our way to the parking lot to go home. I enjoyed Alexander's company as usual and even though my house was literally the next door, I didn't bother myself to even visit my apartment once all through my stay with him. Katie came around too and kept us company and checked up on my health. The three of us watched movies together and had so much fun. Well, Katie felt Alex and I were having too much fun and she didn't hesitate to remind me that everything was a game and I should be cautious because according to her, it looked like I was deviating from the pl

    KATHERINE THRONES I drove back to the apartment complex, my heart racing with anticipation, fear, and excitement as well. The cool evening breeze swept through my hair as I navigated the familiar streets. I couldn't believe I had finally mustered the courage to confess my true feelings to Katie. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest, and for the first time in a while, I felt genuinely free.She was my best friend, after all, and she deserved to know the truth. It was so hurtful and stressful hiding it from her. It was a relief to have her support, even though I knew she was still processing everything.As I parked my car and made my way to Alexander's apartment, a sense of nervous excitement coursed through me. I wanted to make things right, to show him that my feelings were genuine. I wanted to apologize for running away and accept to be his girlfriend for real this time. I wanted this. I wanted to be his own. I wanted to be his girlfriend. I knocked on the door a

    ALEXANDER WALTERS My heart raced as I stood outside Katie's house, my phone pressed against my ear. I had answered the call without really thinking, assuming it was Katherine reaching out to talk. But then I heard their voices, Katherine's and Katie's, and I realized that I was eavesdropping on a private conversation. I hesitated, feeling guilty for unintentionally invading their privacy, but something made me keep listening.Katherine's voice came through the phone as she spoke to Katie. "You remember when we made that plan for me to date Alexander for revenge."I felt like the world had stopped around me. Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I gripped the phone tighter, my heart pounding in my chest.My grip on the phone loosened, and I felt a sinking feeling in my chest. They had made a promise—a bet. I quickly disconnected the call, my heart heavy with a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion. I leaned against the side of the house, my mind racing. How could I have been so foo

    KATHERINE I ran as fast as my legs could carry me out of Alex's apartment and sped into my car. I turned on the ignition and drove off quickly. From my rear mirror, I could see Alexander running after me and calling my name, but I didn't want to stop. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I was crying and my makeup was starting to become a mess. But I couldn't hold back the tears, I had to let them flow freely. Why did Alexander ask me to be his girlfriend? I wasn't ready for such a confession and neither do I think I'm ready to become his girlfriend yet. I had not expected that he would confess his feelings to me. But that didn't change the fact that I was madly in love with him, I loved him dearly. But I was still not ready to be his girlfriend, not yet. In fact, I would've rejected him right there on the spot, but my heart wouldn't have been able to stomach the reaction on his face. So that was why I ran away. And now, I was on my way to Katie's house because there was a l

    ALEXANDER WALTERSAs I drove back home from the snooker place, the words of our conversation with Nathan echoed in my mind.I tried to brush them off, but they lingered like an unwelcome shadow. Despite my determination to stand my ground, his doubts planted a seed of uncertainty in my heart.Nathan's words played on repeat, reminding me of my Playboy past and how I used to pride myself on never getting attached. I had built a reputation, and my friends expected me to maintain it. But with Katherine, everything had changed, and I couldn't ignore the emotions that now consumed me.As I stopped at a red light, I let out a frustrated sigh. It was true; I had been an asshole in the past, using girls and never caring about the consequences of my actions. But Katherine was different. She made me want to be a better person, to be worthy of her affection and love.I couldn't help but feel a pang of hurt at the thought that even my friends doubted my capacity to change. Did they see me as inca

    ALEXANDER WALTERS Nathan lined up his shot, eyeing the snooker table with a determined look. I smirked, leaning against the edge of the table, holding my cue stick casually."You know, I'm still not over you beating me in that video game last week," Nathan grumbled. I chuckled, remembering the intense gaming session we had. "Come on, man, it was just a game," I teased, trying to get under his skin."Just a game? It was a matter of pride, dude," Nathan retorted, taking his shot and sinking a ball into the pocket.I took my turn, aiming carefully and sinking my ball with ease. "Well, I hate to break it to you, but I'm just naturally better at video games," I said with a smirk.Nathan rolled his eyes playfully. "Yeah, yeah, keep gloating. You got lucky, that's all.""Luck had nothing to do with it, Natw. It's all about skill and strategy," I replied, trying not to laugh. "You should take lessons from me. He rolled his eyes and let out a stifled chuckle. "So, are we going to rematch i

    KATHERINE THRONESI shut my locker, and there he was, Alexander, with that charming smile on his face. "Hey, Katherine," he greeted me warmly.I couldn't help but smile back at him, feeling my heart flutter in his presence. "Hey," I replied, trying to sound cool and collected."Ready to leave?" he asked, and I nodded eagerly. "Yeah, let's go," I said, my excitement barely contained.“Awesome.”He reached for my hand, and I felt a jolt of electricity as our fingers intertwined. It was such a simple gesture, but it meant the world to me. We walked together to his car, and as he opened the door for me, my heart skipped a beat. Climbing into the car, I couldn't help but steal glances at him. His presence next to me made me feel giddy and alive.He started the engine, and we drove off, the world passing by in a blur. We chatted and laughed along the way, enjoying each other's company without a care in the world.As we drove, I felt a sense of comfort and happiness wash over me. Being wit

    KATHERINE THRONES As our lips gently parted, we gazed at each other lovingly. Alexander's smile lit up his face, and he playfully teased, "Well, I have to head to class. I have morning classes this morning, unlike some people who lied about theirs earlier." He chuckled, taking a lighthearted jab at my earlier excuse.I rolled my eyes, trying to act annoyed, but a laugh escaped my lips. "Okay, okay, you got me there," I admitted, unable to hide the smile on my face. "But just so you know, I'm still going to Mrs. Freeman's A.P. English class later."He grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, I'll be looking forward to that," he replied, leaning in to peck me on the cheek. My cheeks flushed, and I playfully nudged him."Do you want to hang out later? We can watch a movie at my house," he asked with a grin.My heart skipped a beat, and a smile tugged at the corners of my lips. "Okay," I replied, trying to hide my excitement.He leaned in and pecked me on the cheek, causing me t

    KATHERINE THRONESI couldn't bear the thought of him announcing to the whole school that we had sex, just like he had done with all those other girls.My mind raced with worry, and without thinking, I bolted away from him as fast as I could. I needed to find a safe place to hide. I dashed through the hallways, my legs carrying me as if my life depended on it. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. The door handle to the chemistry lab was the first thing I grabbed, and I tumbled inside and closed the door behind me, leaning against it to catch my breath.Luckily, it was empty.My heart thudded in my chest, a mix of anxiety and anticipation flooding my senses. I was scared that he had succeeded in using me, that he didn't care about me at all. I know he swears that he was a changed man. But I couldn't shake off the feeling. What if everything we had shared meant nothing to him? The thought shattered my fragile hopes, leaving me feeling vulnerable and betrayed.As I hid in that

    KATHERINE THRONES My eyes fluttered open the next morning, and then they widened in sheer horror. Today was a Monday! "Christ!" I sprang out of my bed and saw that I was still in the same clothes from last night – I had not even bothered to change out of them. My eyes were hollow and even stung in pain from all the tears I had cried last night. I glanced at my alarm clock, I had to be in school in the next thirty minutes and the drive to school was fifteen. I'll be late!I quickly hopped into the bathroom and freshened up quickly. Afterwards, I went to my wardrobe and took out a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, I quickly slid on my converses and I was out of my apartment's door in a dash. I drove to school as quickly as I could and silently prayed not to be pulled over by the cops. Luckily, I was somehow able to make it into the premises in time. I took a look at myself from the glass of one of the windows in the hallway, I looked like a zombie. My hair was a mess – I had simply
