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
I hurried to my dance classroom when the bell rang at the end of the day, signaling the end of the school day.Well, it wasn't the end of the school day for me. I have my after school dance classes which starts as from today. Our dance teacher gave us a day off yesterday since it was the first day of school.I have been waiting for this year’s classes. I don't know why but I just couldn't avoid dancing since I started dancing in eighth grade. Well, let's just say that I
"Uh, I -"There's no need to feel shy, Shelly. We all know about the rumors going on around school about Max and you. We just wanted to confirm it with you.", she declared, grinning like a Cheshire cat at me. Everyone, all of a sudden, seems really interested with where this conversation was going."What rumors?", I asked confusingly. We were all sitting down in a really big circle on the floor, well considering the fact that our dancing group was super duper big, the circle
The hot breath on my face, combined with the deep husky voice had me paralyzed and stunned for a second. I simply looked innocently at him, not understanding what he is saying. After a while, my face filled with instant confusion and realization. How would I know what Greg said? I don't understand that language."Shelly, I'm asking you something." he yelled in my face and stepped even closer. I noticed his nose flare as he stared down at me.I involuntarily flinched in
"Max, I can't walk anymore." I stopped walking and tried to catch my breath. I sighed and perched down, my hands squeezing the sides of my aching waist."What the hell? You only walk for like what? ... Ten minutes!" he exclaimed and shook his head disappointingly from side to side at me."Well, what do you expect from me?", I whisper-yelled at him and crossed my hands over my chest out of annoyance.
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
