• Umbrie's POV •
I stared at the phone after I had disconnected the call until it went blank.
I can't believe he just asked me out. I was never expecting that tho.
And now that it happened, I ended up turning my phone off by mistake.
Such a catch, Umbrie.
I didn't panic. I was done bathing so I stepped out after wrapping myself up with a towel. I got dressed before leaving and meeting up with Daphne for drama rehearsals.
I didn't like washing up at school but I had to from the sweat. Never again will I try so hard, I will just effortlessly do the exercises.
When school was over, I got another call from Keiran and I did a breathing exercise before answering.
"Hello."
"You hang up on me, Umbrie. I've been waiting for you to call back but you didn't." He stated.
"Well, I needed time to think through
• Umbrie's POV •I woke up all covered up on the bed and there was little ray of light reflecting in the room. I had feeling of going back to bed and not stepping out for the day.Unfortunately, I had to go to school.I sat up with my hair in a complete mess and covering my face and had scattered strands all over.I shook off the sleepy eyes and in one swift, tied my hair together. I had taken time last night to wear back my clothes tho I didn't want to but had to.I felt him leave the bed later after being beside me for a while.I dragged my lazy body to the bathroom and cleaned up for school. I hurried downstairs and joined everyone at the breakfast table.The issue about Sky healing someone at his school had died down like it never happened and mom didn't talk about it again.Jared drove us to school and he first dropp
• Umbrie's POV • At School.It was finally time for the dreaded exam and I'm glad that I was ready for it. Constant studying with the study group and the after school tutoring helped a lot and I was able to walk into the hallway with much confidence. I met up with Daphne almost immediately and she had bags under her eyes. I was impressed. She might have been reading all night."Hi, girlfriend." Daphne said clasping her hand together with mine."Hi, boyfriend. Your eyes are puffy today. You should take it easy on this exam. I'm confident we are gonna pass." I soothed and she didn't respond."I know. I will take it easy..." She muttered a while late."Great. Let's study together after school. Just the two of us at the city library." I suggested and she nodded without hesitation."That would be amazing." She replied in relief."I will get you a cup of coffee. Come on, let's go get some from the cafeteria." I pulled her along. The school only allowed seniors to have coffee whenever we
Umbrie didn't relent as he smacked the man hard on his forehead. He grunted and tried pushing her off. Daphne was able to stand from the ground and leaped to the door despite gee weak state.She looked around for help but there was no one in sight. Holding her bleeding arm, she slumped on the porch."You sick b*tch!" The man yelled kicking Umbria repeatedly on her abdomen which sent her wincing in pain. She was doing all she could to hold back from shifting and tearing him apart. She endured his hard kicks until it was as though she'd die and never survive. She remained on the floor clutching onto her stomach and growling in pain."That's enough. Please!" Umbrie cried when she felt her whole body going numb and disoriented.All of a sudden, someone landed on the man crashing him to the floor in the most chaotic thud. She lifted her head to see it was Keiran. He rushed to her and carried her up before taking her out of the house. Daphne had called the police and they arrived a few
Jared was on his usual aggressive driving mode and Daphne at some point, wondered why no cops had pulled him over and written him a note. But that was the least of her problems. They were getting near to the city and she's nervous about that. She hopes she doesn't see anyone that knows her. Especially her formal friends and toxic ex boyfriend.She was glad they moved but things got worse in their new home. Jared had been completely silence but quite rough like an attention seeker. When they were at the gas station, he was shuffling things and looking for something like a mad man but Daphne found it attractive in some kind of way. It gave her pictures in her mind.They continued the ride in another abrupt silence."How long do I have to wait for you to see your mother?" Jared asked breaking the silence."Oh...I won't take long. Twenty minutes would be fine." Daphne replied waving her hand. "Do you have nightmares about your father?" Jared asked remembering that time he saw her at th
Umbrie was shocked after the kiss and she disengaged the moment she caught what was happening. Her heart was beating fast as they both turned around and did a bow without making eye contact. Terry wore a smirk on his face looking as fearless as possible. He knew what he had done and he was glad he pulled it off."What on earth.... That jerk!" Umbrie cussed wiping her lips with the back of her hand. They were back stage and were pulling off their costumes."Do you think your boyfriend saw that?" Daphne asked closely following behind her."Gosh...Keiran. I don't know if he saw that." Umbrie mumbled while rubbing her lips even more. She was convinced his kiss would erase this way."That wasn't in the script. Terry is such a jerk." Daphne scoffed folding her hands."I don't know what came over him. Mr Sebastian seemed so happy about that shitty act. I guess he is the one that encouraged him to kiss me on stage." Umbrie pointed out."He is not the one. He has directed several plays for th
He turned around and shot her a cold look."What?" He asked in the most calm voice despite the chaos they just encountered."Your mom! You left her behind. Why would you do that?" Umbrie half yelled in a nagging voice."She wanted us to be safe. What's so bad in her sacrificing herself for us? I wanted to help but she stopped me so I'm obviously interpreting what she wants me to do." Keiran replied taking a sharp bend which caused them to stir around in the car. She quickly put a seatbelt on Sky wishing he wasn't witnessing their argument."Where are we going?" Umbrie yelled noticing the car doors had been locked by Keiran.He doesn't reply her but kept driving. She was fuming and was very pissed with him so she ignored him too. There was silence in the car which lasted through out the ride.Two hours has passed and Keiran was still moving. He had stopped by a gas station to fill up his tank. Umbrie and Sky had fallen asleep in the backseat.Keiran had the atmosphere to himself and
Keiran's POVI inserted the key into the hole and clicked it backwards. The sound it made echoed in the apartment.Opening the door, I saw Sky fast asleep on the bed right next to Umbrie.Oh! They weren't even awake in the first place.My imaginations were running so wild like I was in some movie.I entered anyway leaving the door ajar. I stood next to the bed and watched them sleep like innocent angels.It looked like Sky never yelled or played around creating chaos while Umbrie never glared, fought or make me feel ten times worse than I felt before.I wish I could erase the memory of me being a burden to her. It will encourage her more to dump my selfish arse.There was still an empty space at Umbrie's right hand side so I climbed on it despite the hesitations in my mind.I was glad I could hold myself from falling but the moment I dropped my head on the pillow, her eyes flickered open startling me.I flinched falling out of the bed and dropping my arse on the floor. She sat up aft
Umbrie opened the door of the apartment and they all sauntered in with Sky obsessing over the toy he gets to play with since there was no television to watch.Keiran and Umbrie freshened up separately but she spent more time than getting did in the bathroom making him wait for ages.When Keiran returned to the sitting room all dressed up, he found Umbrie angry and her arms folded."We should have gotten a phone. I completely forgot that." She peeved gritting her teeth."Whoa, don't stress yourself since we will be going back tomorrow." He shrugged leaning against the wall."I know you care about nothing but we have an exam in two days. I haven't studied for it and this Is all thanks to you whom lured those rogues to us. If you didn't leave in the first place, this wouldn't be happening. Actions have consequences, you should know that." Umbrie blunted ransacking her hair back and forth."I know." Keiran muttered."You knowing doesn't solve anything. I know all this tragedy is happening
Watching the moonlight together on a bench, Umbrie and Kieran held hands in silence. Each have different thoughts going through their minds. Looking at how crazy, exciting and boring life has been for them in the past few weeks, they could only wonder how they didn't see it coming. "The moon goddess has been doing this to us all this while, why didn't we see it earlier?" Kieran asked her after a moment of silence. "I know, that is what I was thinking too. We used to argue a lot and didn't have understanding. Then all of a sudden, we crave for each other badly. She must have done this because we won't stop fighting every time." Umbrie replied. "This must be the curse placed on mates who are meant to be no matter what. You won't stop arguing with me at every given chance, that's why she made us inseparable." "I hate you." Umbrie rolled her eyes, "It's your fault that this is happening to us.""You mean you love me." She glared at him, "Cause I do a lot. I love you Umbrie." Umbrie's
The next day, Umbrie went for the training. She was more prepared to prove Louis wrong about her. She got there thirty minutes earlier than everyone else. She trained alone not caring if the others would come or not. Louis met her training alone, he smiled on seeing her. She was too busy to perceive or notice anything. When she turned to take some water, she saw him staring at her. She rolled her eyes and turned to leave without saying anything. He stopped in front of her, looking at her with pitiful eyes. "What do you want now commander sir?" Umbrie asked in a mocking tone. Louis sighed, "I know you are mad at me. I am completely sorry for what I did to you yesterday. Nothing I say now would justify my actions because I was terrible." "What do you want me to do now? You already did what you wanted. Please leave me alone, I am trying to train like you wanted as you can see." She tried to move again but he stopped her. "Don't leave Umbrie. I am truly sorry. I already reconciled wi
Daphne is supposed to be discharged from the hospital soon. Her stepmother and William went to see the doctor. Some people have been watching them since and waiting for them to leave. Those persons are Tiana and her friends. They wanted to use the opportunity to quickly see Daphne and apologize before Mrs Vincent and William come back. Their parents have asked them to apologize as soon as possible or face the consequences. They already have enough punishment as it is, they thought. "What do we do? I'm afraid to go in. What if she calls the cops on us again?" Emma asked quietly. I'm"Let us wait till those people leave. I will go in first and you guys can come in later." Tiana assured them. "What if she doesn't want to see us? What if she doesn't forgive us? What do we do then? We can't let her stepmother see us, she might call the police thinking we came here to bother her daughter." Alice said unsure. "Just leave everything to me. I got you guys into this mess and I will get you o
"What the f**k?" Umbrie exclaimed seeing the person who would instruct them today at the training. Today is her first day at the training and she was a bit excited. Kieran motivated her to do her best and things would be easy for her. That's what she thought until she got there and found out the person training her is none other than Louis.She and a few other kids are here assigned to Louis the warrior. She got so unlucky to have Louis who used to be a rogue as her trainer. She hadn't seen Louis since that time she told him to leave her alone and he left sadly. Now they are here together. "Umm... Hi." She waved at him. He ignored her, "Stand well. Your training is starting now. You must make sure you do well or things won't be good for you.""Is that a threat?" She asked him. All the others looked at Umbrie as she is the only one bold enough to talk to the chief trainer. She did not care, he will still be Louis to her. "Call it whatever you want. You will do what I ask or I won
Umbrie stayed with Daphne till the next day. Even her parents missed her and waited anxiously for her to come home. She left when Mrs Vincent came to the hospital. Jared would have come but he had to work so he only called Daphne and promised to come in the afternoon. As soon as she got home, her little brother Sky came running to hug her. Umbrie was more excited to see him, especially after helping heal her best friend. The boy is young but so special, not everyone knows this. "Sky! I'm so glad to see you!" Umbrie exclaimed raising him up. "Wow you're so big, it feels like I have been gone for years." Sky smiled showing his bright teeth, "I missed you Umbrie. I saw you on TV, I was cheering for you but you could not hear it." "Of course not. How is she supposed to hear you if she is that far away? At least, she is back home now. We should celebrate her win." Mrs Wynn said coming towards them. Umbrie laughed, "Thank you mom. At least you said nice things, Jared has been mean to m
"I miss you baby. You should consider me please." Kieran pleaded on the phone with Umbrie. Umbrie is staying at the hospital to keep watch on Daphne. But it feels like she's so far away from him. He already craves for her badly, he is going crazy over her. Though the same could be said for Umbrie, she still felt the need to stay with her friend at this time. "Don't make me talk too much, sweetie. My friend is asleep. Can't you see she needs someone to stay with her? Besides her stepmother went somewhere and Jared is busy, I offered to stay with her already." Umbrie scolded him. He shrugged, though she could not see him. "I tried. I knew you wouldn't change your mind unless you see me lying down on the hospital bed." This statement got Umbrie a bit worried about him. "Don't you dare do anything stupid! Remember we can't stay in the human hospital like that. We would be found out!" He laughed, "You're so cute. I can imagine your face right now. Come on, I won't do anything to get
Umbrie took the next available flight back to Ice Valley the next day, very early. She got there after a few hours and met Kieran waiting to pick her up. She ran towards him and jumped on him, they caught the attention of people around the airport. "Baby, I missed you so much. I almost took a flight over because I thought you were taking too long." Kieran said embracing her tight. She smiled, "You can't be serious. How are we going to see each other then? I missed you too but you know why I came early." He pouted, "You're not going to spend time with me? What about me? I also need to be cared for."She scoffed, "Don't be silly Kieran. You know how much she means to me. You two are very important, but right now she needs me. Let me see her first, then we will have time for us later." He sighed, understanding her and knowing he's just being too selfish. Umbrie needs to see her best friend, he would probably do the same if it happened to his friend. Not that he has much friends thoug
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES • THE BIG COMPETITION DAY •Umbrie and the rest studied well for the competition. They are going to have it today. They are well prepared to support Umbrie while she answers the questions. Of course, they would all work together while Umbrie would represent them. This made Umbrie nervous as she has isn't that big with the crowd focusing on her.They got there on time and the competition took off. It went on for a few hours as many schools got eliminated. But Umbrie and her classmates made it to the finals. It was tough, as there was another school chasing them in scores.Everyone anticipated there would be a tie between the two schools during the finals. While the others were below them, they had a tie at the finals so the first and second person could not be decided yet. This made Umbrie and her friends work harder, Umbrie was happy enough they made it to the finals.This alone should make her parents proud of her. It is being broadcasted at a news c
Jared stopped at Tiana's house. Then he called her to meet him outside. He only waited a few minutes before she burst out the door happily. She looked happy that Jared came to see her. She did not think about why he must have come, she thought he's just here to get back together."Wow. You're here to see me already?" She said excited, she tried hugging him but he stopped her."Really Tiana? You're asking me that? Is this why you did that to Daphne? You think that would make me come to you because I am so scared you and your friends would beat her up again?"Tiana was taken aback by his sudden outburst. She saw how his eyes changed colour and how angry he is. She moved back, scared and thinking he might hurt her."Why are you looking at me like that? I did nothing wrong! She deserves it! She just came out of nowhere to take you away from me! You think it is that easy for me to let you go??!" Tiana yelled, knowing she got caught already.Jared could not believe the level of evil in her.
