Pissed, annoyed, and bored, were the exact things and more that Adrian was feeling when he woke up that morning. First, he was woken up by a heavy bang on the door, secondly, he was supposed to go round up his admission in Robson High, and to top it all, he hated mornings to the core.

He stuffed his books in his bag, draped them on his shoulder, and made for the door, but before he could touch the handle, the door opened in his face.

He stepped back and cursed loudly, then turned to his sister Brooke, her unruly curled hair looked a mess as usual, and she had a smirk on her perfect face.

"Going somewhere....?" She sang. "Yeah, and? He replied sheepishly. She shook her head, and it made the curls bounce everywhere.

"I don't know what they see in you bro, for Pete's sake, you don't even take a bath often" she made a disgusted face.

"But they don't care about that Brooklyn, just. The other stuff. " He wiggled his brows.

Adrian knew there was no escaping his sister's early morning torture, but he still tried. "So can I go now, please? He said, popping the "P".

"Firstly Adrianabella stop calling me Brooklyn, you know I hate it. Secondly, don't you dare think you're taking that stinky butt of yours outta this house? " She said in a strict voice.

"Stop calling me that for pizza's sake Brooklyn, " he whined, but his sister was looking at him so hard, if eyes could hit, he would have had bruises on every inch of him.

"Firstly, for pizza's sake? Yuck! As for calling me freaking Brooklyn, you are so taking your bath 6 times, " she said firmly.

Adrian looked for a befitting comeback in his head and finally got one. "Oh, and remind me to tell Mum you cursed 8 times today."

Adrian fired, grinning goofily. "No way, I barely did it twice, and with that, Brooke pushed him in and locked the door and he swore this was going to be the worst day of his life.

" Come on! Don't do this now, trust me, I took a bath, Brooklyn"

She made a gagging sound outside. "Do it again baby boy, scrub all you must"

He growled and threw things around the room, but she didn't open up. "I hate you Brooklyn Catfish" he yelled from inside. She was at his door in a second "Get ready to grow gray in there" she called.

"Oh, you bet, " he yelled back in frustration.

She just didn't like to be called nonsexy names.

Adrian Bradford rode into Robson High's parking lot, with a frown on his tan light skin. He knew too well what his mornings looked like, and did not hope for the best in a hurry.

He took nothing with him, just his car keys.

With a hand stuffed in one of his pockets, he closed the door to his black Mercedes loudly and started for the building, immediately he was gaining a lot of stares, he didn't care for the attention he just walked.

He knew how he looked, chiseled, black hair that somehow managed to look wavy and thick all the damn time, he like to keep a sexy smile, the girls loved it but there was more they liked.

He ran his hands in his hair, which made everything worse and he knew it. The girls had been drooling nonstop, he was about to feel abused but he decided he had better things to do

It didn't take much time as expected, he was soon done with everything and the principal was kind enough to show him around.

They took an elbow in one of the big halls and came to a stop.

A few feet away a group of students laughing at something or someone impressed. The girls here and there didn't look bad at all he raked his hair with a smile etched on his face.

They both moved closer to the group and immediately his smile was wiped off his face, he was stunned. The most beautiful girl he had ever seen was sitting uncomfortably on the ground where she was pushed down, and she was being picked on by a group of girls, but what caught his attention the most was her eyes, they looked sad and weary, like she had gone through it a thousand other times before.

He looked at the bullies, the one who seemed to be their leader wore the shortest skirt he had ever seen, she sent a kick to the girl's stomach and she helped in pain but it only fueled her.

The girl looked so fragile and had no single strength in her, she was so visibly weak, she just sat there and didn't utter a word, neither did she show any signs of wanting to do so, but they kept going on and on.

Adrian had never seen or known the poor girl before, but he truly felt bad for her. He never picked on weak people and never will, he only fought those who he knew were equally up to the task, he liked a fair fight but this wasn't a fight, it was shameless bulling.

He was upset and disgusted to see people stoop so low. They were humiliating, bullying, and disgracing the poor girl, but the worst thing is they didn't see any problem with it.

Then to his surprise, the shortest skirt girl April, he learnt her name later on. She raised her heels and hit them again in the girl's abdomen, and the rest of the group applauded. The frail girl cried out in pain as it clenched at his soul.

The director was embarrassed and asked that they take another road quickly so that she could return and solve the problem, but he wasn't going to have any of that.

There were a lot of whistles and cheers, but Adrian did not know why, maybe he missed something because he was seeing red at the moment.

He wanted to keep a hidden profile in his new school, but that didn't matter now, a girl's health and honor were at stake at the moment and he was not going to walk away and do nothing about it.

He stumped to the center of the scene and snatched the violent girl harshly away, she landed somewhere but he didn't look.

The frail girl was starting to cough and looked about to lose consciousness. He barked at anyone to call the ambulance and the principal didn't hesitate and in a moment the ambulance was on its way.

He stared hard at April, the spoilt brat wasn't looking remorseful at all and he was on the verge of doing something bad.

The principal seemed to understand his temperament abruptly and ordered the manic to her office. The girl stormed off in her heels like it meant nothing and he matched two and two together, she had some backing but he didn't care one bit.

He scoped the poor girl who was on the edge of passing out into his arms and rushed her to his car, he glared harshly at the crowd. "Shame on you all" they spat at them and no one dared to look up

He didn't care that an angry-looking principal was heading towards the group of students, or that the students were staring at him in shock, their eyes were mixed with curiosity and confusion, he just wanted to keep the poor girl safe, he would come back to the sadist school later.

"All of you to my office now!" The principal barked at them, her face was a bit pale. "Your parents must be ashamed of you all.” they all filed behind her silently.

    Embarrassed with a bruised little ego, and embarrassed again, that's how she felt. She couldn't even imagine what the tall guy must be thinking about her. Her cheeks heated for the tenth time. The boy chuckled and drew closer to her. She let out a small gasp. The boy was more than beautiful, with dark blue eyes, black hair, and a chiseled face. "Wait, these are strange thoughts," she thought and knitted her brows. "What strange thoughts?" The guy asked.She would have palmed her face for saying that out loud, but her position wouldn't let her. She had been talking to her inner self since she discovered she didn't belong with lots of people save for her family of four with her included, and never had anything slip from her mouth before, so why now of all times?She started to explain or make an excuse, but she stuttered hopelessly and couldn't say a complete word.

She smiled a small smile, the boy had been nothing but kind to her, with no insults, no judging, and more it was not a prank, she didn't see those devil spawns anywhere near clapping their hands together for a job well done. Or maybe it was a two-day prank, maybe he would come back the next day, which was today, to end everything with a massive laugh and insults, when he was sure she was completely fooled, it had happened before with Simone Mallory, who was best friends with, Thomas Jefferson. No!

    Jade could hear birds chirp one after another like piano tunes, the trees rustled, and she already began to imagine a beautiful scenery behind her closed eyelids. She felt relaxed much more to her confusion. Just some minutes ago she had been collecting a series of insults, dirty slaps on her little ego, and mockery. It seemed like it got worse every day. Every day her attackers seemed to grow bolder and did more brutal things to her.She ran into a chiseled hard wall and apart from that she didn't know anything else. Could it be that she hit the wall so hard that she fell unconscious again? Or oh God, had she died? The thought had brought a bitter taste in her mouth, she thought of all her unaccomplished goals, Like the essay, she hadn't finished it yet, she hadn't even submitted Mr Finley's assignment from the day before. She didn't even say goodbye to her mum, dad, Jan, or even pretty boyShe hadn't even stood up for herself in front of anyone, to prove herself yet. She had reaso

    "Why were you running earlier?" Adrian wanted to ask but focused on something else, the beauty before him, she swept living breath out of him when he first stepped into the room. She wore a white silk resting cloth that left no room for exposed feet. He had asked his house help Emma to change her clothes into something comfortable because he doubted she would sleep well in such big clothes. Although the dress was very long and covered her feet, he knew her feet were bare and he found that attractive. Her beautiful brown-red hair, scattered beautifully around her face and down her shoulders, looked like rubies in the dim light that shone through the window. Her skin looked silky and he wondered if it'd feel the same under his palms, but it was just a wandering thought, he could see her cherry-red lips part, from where he stood and he wanted to stand next to her.Then, like a child's dream, a little bird flew to her and perched atop her head, the curtains swirled with the soft breeze

The man was rough and his smile matched his appearance, he needed a toothbrush. What was he doing there?

There are seven bedrooms, a cinema, and a games room and the property is only accessible through the lake. The house was simply luxurious with huge glass doors and walls. There were patio heaters around, some standing stainless steel heaters that ran on propane, lounge chairs arranged to the sides with blankets, another corner was decorated with booze and also a round wooden table with at least fifteen chairs stood at one corner with a chess board and some other games and a DJ crew had been invited and fresh towels lay on a table for people who would want to take a deep in the water.A party was the last place she wanted to be but her friends would have none of it.

    Maybe it was the aftermath of his heart break? Maybe that was why he was being a little reckless here and there but she still knew it was her fault mostly or maybe entirely and every time she thought about him it still hurt. What was worse he wasn't even looking at her anymore even when they crossed parts. They'd entirely became strangers in a very short time and she had a reputation that she'd well earned. Xi had been more than a comfort through the breakup process, always bringing her flowers and being extra sweet and all but she didn't feel the same warmth in her stomach and she didn't feel the butterflies exploding at the sight of him or when he laughed, it wasn't the art she was used to and it didn't tug at her heart strings.How she'd manage to screw up things with someone who had done nothing but love her she couldn't explain. She had let herself get caught up in the socializing thing and being popular and being seen, he was right when he said she had changed but despite the r

She popped a pill in her mouth and shut the drawer. When she turned around he was standing there shirtless in front of the coffee machine. The muscles on his back were tight and hot, so hot and his pants hung low on his hips. He always looked like a model whether it was in the middle of the day or he just woke up from bed.
