I dragged myself out of bed and walked into my closet. On my way to the bathroom, I grabbed a white towel and shrugged my shirt off, leaving my chest bare. I brushed my teeth as fast as possible and hopped into the shower. As I turned on the water and let the hot steam surround me, I started humming 'Love yourself' by Justin Bieber. I pretended like I was some international pop star as I danced around in the shower, throwing water here and there.
"Nice moves you got there, babe." his voice boomed as he walked into my bathroom like he owned the place. What the hell?
"WHAT?!" I screeched aloud and shot up from my seat, nearly knocking my chocolate milkshake down."Calm down, sis." Alex cried out loud and pulled me back in my seat."No, wait a second." I said more calmly but couldn't stop jumping in my seat."Will you just please take a chill pill?" Max suddenly exc
"This girl is just impossible." Alex cried while pulling at his hair in frustration.What the hell?"Excuse me? For your kind information, I'm not impossib -"Shelly, listen to me. Will you just calm down and talk like a girl your age?" Max whispered as if he was talking to a five year old.
"What do you mean?" I cried out in disbelief and got up shakily.Mylifeisindanger.Mylifeisindanger butwhy?"Shelly, listen to me -” Max grabbed my left arm and shook it slightly. I looked up to find him staring at me worr
Right then, some awful and horrible thought crossed my mind when Alex swerved the car to drive into the parking lot of St-Xavier high school, making me actually say or rather scream something breaking the silence in the car which had been lingering between us for the whole ride."Shoot, stop!" I cried out loud and waved my hands at Alex to stop the car. Alex jumped and pressed the brake all at once.The car came to an abrupt stop, making a screeching sound and all three of us
I got out and pushed Max out of my way when he tried to block me from leaving. What the hell is his problem? I'm feeling really frustrated right now. With Max bringing his bullshit about gangs, racers and whatever nonsense it's all about and to top it all, for pulling me into all these mess along with him, is really annoying me right now. All this is just confusing as hell.
I hugged him from behind and when he tried to pull away, I tightened my hold on him and pressed my face in between his shoulder blades."Leave me, Shelly! I know that you want to leave me too. Just go", he whispered slowly, but I could sense that he was holding himself from crying."No, I don't want to leave you, Max. I can't leave you. Never! I really like you, Max. Not just as a friend but more than that. I like you", I began sobbing and when I realized what I uttered in a
But our moment was soon ruined by someone."What is happening over here?", someone suddenly shouted, making me freeze in fright and Max.... Well, Max being Max wasn't expecting this and knocked against my back."Ouff", I groaned and stumbled on my own feet."Shoot!", Max panicked and wounded his right
And this is how all humor went out through the window and I glared at Max who immediately raised his hands up in surrender but I couldn't avoid the smile which was threatening to show up on my face due to the fact that Max freaking Jackson is afraid of me. And that's how, I melted and smiled sheepishly at him and he chuckled once again."Get up!", he held out his right hand again and I seized it tightly to pull myself up."I'm tired!", I groaned and covered my mouth with my p
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
