(ISABELLA’S POV)

I was just shocked throughout.

Brad was wearing a very humble face and he looked so polite as he asked my mother for permission to take me with him, so that we could see this ‘assignment that he spoke of’

Mum was more than ready to let me go out.

“She has been cooked up in her room all day.” She said giving me the glance. “Okay my brain box! Out you go now.” Mum said to me and I rolled my eyes.

But without a word, I stood up to follow Brad.

“Don’t forget, you promised to think about it Brad.” Jeanie said and that was when I noticed her following us all the way to the doorway.

“Yeah, I promise.” Brad surprised me by saying.

Jeanie smiled up at him.

“Thank you then. Good night.” She said and scurried away.

I rolled my eyes again as we walked out of the house and I fell in to step with him while we walked next door towards his house.

“What? What’s that face for?” He asked me after a few seconds of us walking in silence.

“Jeanie has a crush on you.” I stated.

    (ISABELLA’S POV)The darkness receded, replaced by a soft, warm glow. My eyelids fluttered open, and I blinked a few times feeling a little disoriented. The sight that met my eyes took my breath away. The once ordinary garden that I could remember from years ago was transformed into a magical wonderland. I gasped as I looked at the delicate fairy lights that were twinkling among the trees, casting an ethereal glow on the lush greenery. There was a winding pathway, lined with flickering candles, led to a secluded spot beneath a sprawling oak tree. A small table, adorned with a pristine white tablecloth, held a vase of freshly cut roses and lilies. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of the blooms, and a gentle breeze was blowing. “Oh my….” I couldn’t even bring myself to complete the sentence.I was so speechless and I felt the tears prick my eyes. “There’s something else I want to show you.” Brad’s voice interrupted my thoughts and I turned to him suddenly filled with

    (ISABELLA’S POV)I parted my lips to make more way for his and I sighed in content as the kiss deepened. His hands went to my waist and pulled my closer to him, while one hand stayed there, the other was holding my neck in place. He moaned against my lips making me want him even more. I was glad when his hands gripped my skin softly and began to travel around my body molding my skin with his hands as he went. I could not help but moan again.Brad let out a growl and then he pulled away from me suddenly and paced around running his hands through his hair as if he was frustrated.I didn’t know what to do. I stood feeling hot and needy. I wanted more of his touches. I knew that what we were doing was wrong but I still wanted to. I had this deep urge that felt like fire.I bit my lip as I thought of crossing the short distance between us to kiss when he turned around suddenly with his dark eyes on me. His eyes watched me clearly burning with desire. He growled again in frustration.“You

    (OLIVIA’S POV)Walking in to one of the town’s popular local diner for my meeting was definitely a big assurance for me that I was not dreaming. This was real! I was finally on the cheerleading squad. Thinking about it made me want to do my happy dance again but I settled for a bright smile as I strolled casually in to the diner like I was here every night.Some other new cheerleaders were around but Hilary, Tiara and Jennifer were not. We all waited together talking excitedly to one another.Hilary and Tiara strolled in about thirty minutes later but no one was upset. We were still so excited when they came in. “Hey girls!” Hilary began after she took her place at the head of the table where the ten of us were gathered.“Hi.” We all chorused struggling to control our excitement.“I think you guys need to clap for yourselves to begin with. There were sixty selected girls who started the tryouts and just you guys were picked.” She said.We bursted in to cheers as we patted each encour

    (ISABELLA’S POV)“You with Dave, Me with Trent, Hilary with Brad and Tiara with her college boyfriend.” Olivia said expectantly and I eyed her widely not knowing what she wanted me to say.“It’s chill right? What do you think?” She asked.I knew that there was no way I could give her a truthful answer. What I truly felt was that, I didn’t want to be paired up with Dave at the spirit weekend and I definitely did not want Brad with Hilary either. Olivia was planning a big date to include the eight of us seated on a big blanket with a lot of goodies at the beach during our first evening at the camp.“I think it’s cute.” I lied and she smiled.I really didn’t think so and I wished that I could tell her. “That’s exactly what Hilary said.” Olivia told me with a satisfied look.Olivia told me everything that happened last night at her first official meeting when we met this morning at school. She was appointed co captain and I was so excited for her. She wanted so much to be on the team and

  • My Best Friend’s Brother    Never Letting Go

    (ISABELLA’S POV)Spirit Weekend was starting on Friday and yet on Thursday, I had still not told Dave about the date. Olivia was not happy about it.“But we agreed, Bella.” She complained.“I’m sorry, I just got busy. Is every other person ready?” I asked her.We were seated together during English Class and I wished that Olivia had not remembered to ask me about Dave, but she had and that was why we were here talking about it. “Yes. Every other person is ready.” She told me getting her books out.“Even Brad and Hilary?” I didn’t know how I risked asking about Brad and Hilary without being scared that Olivia would suspect anything.“Yes.” She answered and I could feel my heart break too.Why had he accepted to go on the date paired with Hilary? If he liked me as much as he said that he did then would he not turn down such a request?“So you’re fine with Hilary and Brad going out?” I asked.It was another question that slipped out of my mouth. I knew that I really was not supposed to

  • My Best Friend’s Brother    Spirit Weekend!

    (ISABELLA’S POV)Spirit weekend is probably not a popular term for you. I mean, you may be more used to hearing about spirit week instead. I used to think the term Spirit Weekend, was coined here, in my School, Fort Haven High. It’s a whole weekend for the juniors and Seniors of our school where they spend time camping throughout the weekend as well as engaging in activities such as sports, games, dance battles, food feast, bonfire night and so many other things. Then the following week begins with general spirit week. I am clearly not a fan of these things. I’ve never been but rest assured that everyone else except from me is going crazy about it. I was telling myself that I wouldn’t want too much socialization when I knew only one thing in particular bothered me. Brad and Hilary. Early on Saturday morning as I hurled my camping bag down the stairs, my mom stood by taking pictures.“Mum!” I scowled.“Memories darling, now smile in this one.” She ordered and positioned the camera

    (BRAD’S POV)My sister was annoying the shit out of me! “I thought we were just hanging out at evening time before the bonfire night.” I whispered angrily to her when she welcomed us. I could notice that even Bella looked uncomfortable as well but trust my selfish sister not to notice that.“Yeah well, you can squeeze some time can’t you?” She begged with a guilty smile.“Someone is missing Liv.” Bella’s soft voice interrupted and she raised an eyebrow at Olivia. I narrowed my eyes at the little crowd of people wondering who wasn’t there but I could not figure it out.“Oh! Don’t worry he’s on his way here soon. He’s just caught in some thing.” Olivia said giggling.I rolled my eyes. Girls! I looked at Hilary and she was giving me a seductive smile, I imagined having to deal with that until evening and there Isabella was already saying hello to Dave who even brought her flowers. “Come on, there’s a large movie screen playing and I saw a couple of your friends over there too.” She sa

    (OLIVIA’S POV)“Leave me the fuck alone!” Hilary had shouted at me before running off. “She’s just angry. I’ll talk to her.” Tiara said and she followed Hilary while I remained standing behind .Fuck Brad! I thought as I started to walk back to the gathering. If he had not done this then Hilary won’t be having such a bad time and being angry with Me.I was already sleeping our spot but Dave appeared and took my hand leading me away to a shielded place.“Where are you taking me?” I asked angrily as I wrenched my hand free from his grip.“I just want to talk to you Olivia.” He said calmly.I didn’t say anything else and I didn’t walk away, I simply folded my arms waiting for him to say what he wanted to say.“Are you dating that Trent guy?” He asked me with jealousy in his eyes.“Why? What’s it to you?” I asked.“You guys kissed!” He said, his voice was low but angry.“Yes we did! You and Bella kissed too didn’t you?” I spat back.“I’m just doing what you want.” He said. “No you’re no

    (BRAD’S POV)I raised my fist to the door knocking as hard as I could. I was just about to raise my hand to the doorbell when I heard the movements in the lock and the door was opened. Victoria Martinez looked very surprised to see me.“Bradley. Hi.” She said looking at me with concern .“Hi ma’am.” I said and I suddenly realized that I must look like a wreck.I had not had my bath in days, I hadn’t eaten, I hadn’t even brushed my teeth nor combed my hair. I was standing looking tougher than a rouge with rumpled clothes and sleep deprived eyes.“I’m sorry to bother you ma’am. It’s just that, I would like to see Bella Please.” I said.I could hear the pleading tone in my own voice and I hoped that she would hear it as well. But the uncomfortable expression on her face made me start feeling discouraged. “I don’t know if she will open up for you, Brad. She didn’t even go to school today.” She told me sadly.My heart squeezed in pain but I did not want to give up just yet.“I could jus

    (BRAD’S POV)I was laid down with my eyes starring blankly at the ceiling. It would be an understatement for me to say that I was feeling drained and emotionally overwhelmed. I felt so weak with a lot that was going on at the moment.I was bothered with the news my father had given to me yesterday but I would be lying if I said that the thought of Bella was not overpowering every other thought in my head. I could not stop thinking of who exactly had done that video compilation and played it. Who could hate Bella so much to do that? The knock on my door interrupted my thinking and I sighed tiredly. Mum had come to knock on my door earlier asking if I would be going to school and I had ignored her. What exactly was the point of even going to school when they were planning on sending me away next weekend?“Brad, honey you have a visitor.” She called softly.My hopes were lifted initially but then my heart sank in disappointment. There was no way Bella would miss school and so I knew t

    (ISABELLA’S POV)Monday morning descended like a plague, an unwelcome and inescapable force after a weekend of turmoil.I stayed in bed unmoving as the events of Saturday evening replayed in my head. The humiliation was almost unbearable. So unbearable that I had refused to turn on my cellular data for fear of what I would see on the internet. I wished that I could turn off my phone completely but something in me was too weak to do that. I was hopeful for a call from Brad.The call never came and it worsened my situation shattering my heart even more. I had no more tears to cry and no more words to lament. I wished there was someone I could talk to but the only people I could talk to had abandoned me. How could I explain that I was only a victim of such cruel acts? My Alarm clock rang loudly for the hundredth time blasting me back in to my reality. I struggled to bring myself to my feet but thinking of going to school weakened me greatly, so I dragged myself downstairs instead.Dad

    (HILARY’S POV)I screamed loudly the moment i was seated in the car with the door closed behind me. If the car was not sound proof then anyone from outside would have heard me. I rested myself back against the leather seat feeling exhausted but still my veins were throbbing with anger . How could he turn me down?! No one dared to turn me down! No one! What did that damned Fat Nerd have that I did not??I am Hilary Lockhart!! How the hell could he even think of turning me down?!“Miss Lockhart, is everything okay?” The private chauffeur asked looking at me through the mirror.I was very irritated and so I snapped at him.“Don’t you talk to me, you lowlife!” I exploded.“Sorry Miss.” He said politely.I stayed back trying to balance my unsteady breathing as I thought of what next to do. Rejection is something I was not used to. Rejection is something that I don’t take. “I want you to take me to see someone.” I said to the chauffeur and after giving him the address, I rested back aga

    (BRAD’S POV)I would have thought that the day after would make me feel better. But it did nothing, in fact I felt worse than ever.The events of the night before kept on replaying in my head. How could such a beautiful night turn out to be so horrible?Thinking of Isabella tore me to pieces and remembering the horrible fight I had with my sister made me feel worse.It was like my head was throbbing intensely and I could get no sleep. Closing my eyes only made me remember the pictures on the screen. On one hand, I felt betrayed and hurt when I remembered her pictures with Dave and on the other, I still could not help but feel sorry for the public humiliation she had felt. I was aware that videos of last night were circulating the internet. I picked up my phone a number of times with the intention of calling her but I never got through with it. I was worried about her despite the fact that I felt hurt by her actions.So I made a call to someone I knew and paid a lot of money to make

I don’t know what to do.” Victoria Martinez announced as she walked in to the kitchen and dropped the breakfast tray she had arranged for Isabella.George Martinez lowered his newspaper and then when he saw that the tray was untouched, he sighed and dropped the now folded newspaper on the table.It was the next morning and falling asleep last night while knowing fully well that something had happened with Bella was not easy for them both. “She still didn’t open up?” He asked.It was a question but he knew the answer already and his wife confirmed by it by nodding her head at him.“She’s crying. I could hear her. She was also crying last night when I checked on her before going to bed and now I can’t help but wonder if she got any sleep at all or if she stayed crying all night.” Victoria said sadly. She was close to tears herself. “Damn it!” George cursed bringing his fist down at the table angrily.He could not handle the thought of hi

He staggered in weakness as he rested his back against the wall. “Brad?” He snapped out of his thoughts and straightened his posture immediately. Hilary cat walked towards him and she placed her perfectly manicured nails on her chest in worry. “Oh honey. I’m so sorry for whatever is going on with you.” She said with the sweetest voice she could come up with. Brad didn’t say a word, instead he sighed and started to walk on but Hilary was quick to follow him. “Brad. Come on, please wait up.” She begged. He stopped tiredly, waiting for her to catch on. “What do you want Hilary?” He asked her feeling the exhaustion weighing him down. All he wanted at this point was to get out of here and to go home straight.“Nothing much.” Hilary said still sounding as sweet as she could to him.“I do

    (THIRD PERSON’S POV) “Ladies and gentlemen. Let me tell you a little about your homecoming queen.” There was a pin drop silence in the gym as everyone had eyes set on the large projected screen. Isabella and Brad turned as well both dealing with the same confused emotion. There was a sort of piercing sound from the speakers and then the electronic voice went on talking. “Most of you may think you know who Isabella Martinez is. A Nerd,” just then the projected screen started to reveal pictures of Isabella from when she was little and until she changed her dressing sense. She had her braces on, she played soccer, she wore larger clothes. There were giggles round the crowd as an animated picture of Isabella wearing large glasses and heavy braces came on. “Some people think she’s now changed, pretty, hot but guess what? I bet you didn’t know that she’s also a liar and a slut!” Isabella felt her body grow cold and her stomach drop. Brad was shocked as a video of the intimate tim

It was not just Tiara or Hilary and Olivia whose eyes followed Brad and Isabella. It was everyone else in the gym.Isabella could feel the heaviness in their eyes and Brad could feel as her grip tightened in his hand.“Are you okay?” He asked lowering his head so he could bring his face closer to hers.She looked up at him with her eyes sheikh her discomfort and panic.“Everyone is watching us.” She whispered at him.Brad smiled then and he brushed her cheek affectionately. “Everyone is watching you.” Bella smiled shyly at his words.“No, they aren’t.” She said back with a giggle. She was already beginning to feel a little bit more relaxed. “Yes they are.” Brad said and he looked down at her beautiful face wishing he could curse out loud. “My goodness Isabella, you have no idea how
