A couple of minutes after squeezing through the crowd to find my classroom, I walked in my English class for my first period of the day just when I heard the bell ringing for the second time.
Wow!
The class was already full with students.
I scanned the classroom for any spare seat but I saw Max le
The day went on until the bell rang, signaling the beginning of the lunch period. I huffed a sigh of relief and slumped in my seat, waiting for the hallway to clear out a bit before heading to the cafeteria.I pack up my things slowly and then zipped up my bag. The teacher was already gone and soon the hallway was empty without even one person wandering around. Great!I got up and made my way to my locker to keep my bag. Then, I proceeded toward the cafeteria. I pushed the ca
Oh hell no!Why should I sit here?Has Max lost his mind, or what?"What's wrong?" Max whispered."What's wrong? Are you kiddi
I huffed out in irritation."What happened?" Max asked while nudging my left arm. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked away."Nothing", I spat and drank my juice before dumping my food in a nearby dustbin."Why didn't you eat your food?" Max edged further in front of me to get a better view of my
I swung opened my bedroom door and froze once I walked in.You wouldn't believe me.What the hell is he doing in my bedroom?How dare he?
"Mom, do we really need to go?" I yelled but mom chuckled in response. Really! Will I have to go have dinner at Max's place? Oh no! Was today's event not enough? "Ughhhhh", I groaned and walked in my closet to grab a dress to wear.
Oh no! I think she is being serious."Uh--uh-okay" I nodded and walked upstairs, searching for Max's room. Stupid me! I should have asked Cindy which one is Max's room but anyway, I don't think it would be that big of a deal.And I was right.Do you know how I recognized it almost immediately?
What?What the hell?Has he just said what I heard him say?"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked confusingly.
He's so dead. When he finally looked up, I glared at him but he raised one eyebrow at me, as if daring me to say something. How dare he? I grinned when an idea crossed my mind. Hmmm! Seems like it's gonna work out."Oh, it was really great. I enjoyed a lot too but Max didn't let me buy more clothes and he didn't even carry my bags." I mumbled quietly and looked down as if feeling so down.I could feel Max's eyes fixed intently on me and I squirmed in my seat before looking up
Shelly’s point of view; I slowly opened my eyes and found myself lying on the floor. My head somehow aches. I was just about to get up but I couldn't. It was then that I realized that my hands and feet were tied up with ropes. I pushed myself up and leaned my back against the cold wall. I looked around but could barely see anything. It was dark and only the beam of the moon penetrating through the window served as my light from where I was.
I looked past my right shoulder and frowned. No way! I did hear someone approaching. I'm hundred percent sure that someone has been following me since I left school. I turned back around and quickened my pace. I gulped hard and speedily walked while skipping once in a while to get away.Why? Just why did I have to stay back at school to revise for my upcoming exams? Why? It's so dark out here and that stupid Max did not even come to fetch me. He left me alone to fend for myself and who was making big big talks about protecting me. Protection, my foot! I mean, who even needs protection? I'm fine by myself, yeah right. See, I'm even wandering around i
"I'm home!" someone screamed and then boom.Is that my bedroom door? Whatever!I groaned while wondering lazily and continued on dozing off, like a retarded person. I snuggled more in my bed sheets, hugging my little cushions tightly. This is heaven. I was too tired, groggy and sleepy to turn around to look at the person who decided that disrupting my beauty sleep was such a good idea. I sighed softly in my pillow and fidgeted a little bit to get a better position. I was spra
"So?" Max smirked at me once the movie was over."So, what?" I looked at him wearily while he leaned down to kiss me."Stop it." I giggled and pushed him away.If you're wondering what is happening right now, let me just fill you in about what we've done for the last few hours. After deciding that we r
I loosened my arms from around his neck and pulled apart but he embraced me once again, this hug lasting even longer than the first one."Max? What's wrong?" I asked him softly.He only tightened the hug in response and exhaled slowly while keeping his chin on top of my left shoulder. I leaned more into him, feeling the need to comfort him all of a sudden. I pressed the side of my face to his and sighed in relief. It feels great, being held in his arms like that. I wish I cou
"What the hell was that, Max?" I whisper yelled as soon as I got into my bedroom.I threw my school bag on the bed and twisted around to face Max. He had a forlorn look on his face while he shook his head negatively at me. When I raised an eyebrow questioningly at him, he sighed dejectedly and looked down.Feeling my temper rising, I stomped towards him, my two hands clenched tightly by my sides. Max glanced up worriedly when he heard my advancing steps, his eyes widening in
Why am I being such a coward?No, compose yourself, Shelly.I opened my eyes when I heard Blake snorting in disbelief, almost like he was laughing at me.YouhaveMaxwithyou,Shelly.
I'm really not liking this talk but what can I do?"H-He is my classmate and also my... neighbour?" I explained but it came out sounding more like a question."Okay..." he trailed off slowly while still pondering on whatever he was figuring out in his mind."So, can I go?" I asked while jutting my righ
After giving the police officers a long statement about the incident, I swallowed my fear and walked outside. I squeezed my school bag tightly in my arms and followed the officers towards their cars."Come on, I'll drop you at home." one of the sturdy big officers kindly offered while opening the passenger door for me. Judging by his appearance, he was probably in his early twenties. He was the only one who looked like he could have been in college. Now that I think about it, how can a young guy like him be in charge of such a dangerous case? Well, that's not really my business. I mean like just look at his body. If you would look at him from behind
