Amelia

Amelia sat in the passenger seat, her fingers drumming against her lap as her mother drove down the long, winding road leading to Blake’s house.

The second day of their project work had arrived, and as promised, her mother insisted on driving her. Amelia hadn’t thought much of it at first, but now, as they neared their destination, she could feel her mother’s excitement radiating off her.

“You know,” her mother said, her voice laced with nostalgia, “I still can’t believe Evelyn's son is in your group. What are the odds?”

Amelia shrugged, her gaze fixed on the trees lining the road. “Maverick High isn’t that big. It was bound to happen.”

Her mother chuckled. “Still, it’s a pleasant surprise. Evelyn and I were inseparable back in high school. We did everything together.”

Amelia turned to look at her mother. “Then why did you two lose touch?”

A shadow passed over her mother’s face. “Life happened. College, work, marriage... We both got busy. But I never stopped thinking about her.

    "Amelia! Breakfast is ready." Mrs Thompson said from the kitchen."Coming Mom," replied Amelia from her room upstairs where she had been arranging her things for her new school.Seventeen year old Amelia Thompson was a stunningly beautiful teenager with long jet black hair, she was tall and athletic with light freckles on her face. This was going to be her first day at Maverick High school and she hated first days at school, with all the students staring at you like you were some kind of alien. Her Dad had been transferred from his place of work and they had to move so they could be closer to the new workplace. His transfer also came with a promotion which meant an increase in salary. Even before all of this, Amelia barely saw her Dad. He left for work every morning before she woke up and got back home late at night after she must have gone to bed. Now with the promotion at his place of work, all of this was about to be made worse. She always complained to her mother about this bu

    Blake Andrews looked himself over at the mirror again, adjusted his tie and then smiled. At seventeen years old, he was tall and huge with sunny brown hair and a dimple on his cheek whenever he smiled. He was the school's football captain and also the school's bully and resident bad boy of Maverick High school, also very proud and pompous. All the girls fawned over him, always trying to get his attention. He dated a few and broke the hearts of many. This was a new school's year and the beginning of grade Eleven."One more year and I'd be out of high school" he said to himself. He was also going to turn eighteen next year and as the only child and heir to the multi-million dollar company his family owned, he'd finally be able to take over the family business. It was an old tradition in the Andrews' family that whenever the heir turned Eighteen, the company was handed over to him or her."I can't wait.'' he muttered to himself.At that moment, there was a knock on his room door."Come i

    Amelia looked around the school's building, trying to get familiar with her surroundings. Her Mom had told her to go straight to the principal's office so that he could show her to her classroom but now, she had no idea on how she could get there. She thought about asking one of her fellow students for directions but none of them even seemed to notice her. They all walked around with their nose up, with an air of superiority."Snooty, snooby Maverick High students". She muttered to herself. Just then, she heard a beep on her phone. She took it out and it saw that it was a text message from her Dad. She opened it and read; ''Amelia darling, Good morning. Your Mom told me that she already dropped you off at your new school. I hope you're good. Enjoy your first day at school. Love you.''She smiled and was about to text back when she mistakenly bumped into someone."Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't see you there.'' She said,"Of co

    Blake Andrews couldn't take his eyes off the new girl. Her name was Amelia, he had heard that when she introduced herself earlier. He was a bit shy when she caught him staring. He had never been shy in the presence of any girl before, this was the first time. He couldn't deny the fact that he already had a crush on her."Damn it." He said to himself. He had never really been in love with any girl before. Girls were supposed to be in love with him, not the other way round. Almost all the girls in Maverick High had a crush on him and he loved the attention he was getting from it. He couldn't possibly be in love with someone he barely knows. Or can he? He thought. Either way, he made a mental note of walking up to her after class and telling her he liked her. Just then, Charlie leaned over and whispered in his ear."The new girl, she is beautiful, isn't she?" Charlie said."Yeah, she is.'' Blake said. Charlie had also been staring at Amelia ever since she stepped into the class, he was

    "What is wrong with him?" Amelia said to herself as she walked down to the school's laboratory. It was time for chemistry and their teacher wanted to teach them some basic experiments so he asked them to head over to the laboratory.Amelia was thinking about the boy, the sunny brown. He had mentioned his name at the school cafeteria when he came to sit with her. He said his name was Blake, Blake something but she couldn't remember the last name now. She didn't hate him and at the same time she didn't like him. She just wanted to be on her own. Who the hell did he think he is anyway, walking up to her and asking that they hang out. He had mentioned that he was the captain of the football team. And so what, what was she supposed to do with that? She couldn't deny the fact that he was handsome but still that doesn't mean he could get any girl he wanted, anytime he wanted. "Well, if that's what he thinks, then I'm going to show him he's wrong, so wrong.'' She said to herself. She got

    AmeliaIt was as if the world around me had been put on mute the second I locked eyes with Blake. The laughter, the whispers, the snickering that had filled the hall only moments before—it all disappeared. Blake’s smirk didn’t falter, though; he just stared at me with that irritating look of superiority, as if he thought he’d already won whatever twisted game this was. But if there was one thing I knew, it was that I was not going to let myself be bullied. Not here. Not in this new school too. I squared my shoulders, refusing to let the lingering silence around us shake me. I could feel dozens of eyes on me, each pair waiting to see if I’d crumble or lash out. They’d be disappointed either way. I’d long ago learned not to give my bullies the satisfaction.Just as I turned on my heel, ready to walk away, I felt a strong hand grip my wrist, yanking me back just enough to make my pulse spike. Blake. He was standing closer than I’d realized, his dark eyes narrowed, his lips twisted into a

    BlakeThe school day was over, but my mind wasn’t. I stood outside, waiting for my driver to pull up, the cool afternoon breeze doing nothing to calm the thoughts racing through my head. The parking lot was filled with students laughing, chatting, making plans for the weekend—but I barely noticed any of it. I was thinking about her.Amelia.No girl had ever looked me in the eye the way she did today. No hesitation. No fear. Just pure, unshaken defiance. I was handsome, rich and the captain of the school's football team, every girl in Maverick high wanted him. What was her problem?I clenched my jaw, annoyed that she was still on my mind. I should’ve been thinking about the game this weekend, or what party was happening Friday night. Not some new girl who had no clue what she was getting into. And yet, there she was.“Blake,” a voice cooed beside me.I barely turned my head before Catherine slid her arm through mine, pressing against me like she belonged there. She was dressed in her u

    Amelia Who the hell do they think they are? I slammed my bedroom door shut, tossing my bag onto the floor with more force than necessary. Spoiled brats. That’s what they were. Every single one of them at Maverick High. Entitled, arrogant, and used to getting their way. Blake Andrews was the worst of them all. I huffed, kicking off my shoes before flopping onto my bed. My body ached from the long, exhausting day, but my mind wouldn’t stop racing. I was tired. Really tired. This was exactly why I hated moving. New schools, new faces, new enemies. I had barely been here a day, and I had already made one in Blake. Not that I cared. He wasn’t the first bully I’d encountered, and he probably wouldn’t be the last. But something about him was... different, the way he had looked at me in the hallway, the way he had gripped my wrist like he wasn’t used to people walking away from him—it was like I had messed with the natural order of things. Like I had thrown off his balance.

    Blake Blake was fuming.Catherine was an idiot. An insufferable, possessive, delusional idiot.He had told her time and time again to stop meddling in his business, but she never listened. Her jealousy was out of control, and today, she had made a complete fool of herself. Worse, she had dragged him into the mess.He clenched his fists as he stormed toward Principal Jerkins’ office. The second the final bell rang, his name had been called over the intercom, summoning him immediately. He knew exactly why. Amelia had gone to make a report at the principal's office and the principal had summoned him to warn him. The moment he stepped into the office, Principal Jerkins looked up from his desk with a tired expression. "Blake, have a seat."Blake crossed his arms. "I’ll stand."Jerkins sighed. "Fine. I’ll make this quick. You need to tone down your behavior."Blake scoffed, leaning against the chair in front of the principal’s desk. "And what behavior is that exactly?"Jerkins gave him a

    AmeliaAmelia stormed through the hallway, her steps quick and purposeful. Enough was enough. She had tolerated Blake and his entitled nonsense for too long. Catherine and her minions had pushed her patience to the limit, and she wasn’t about to let them get away with it this time. If the school had any sense of justice, something had to be done.She reached the principal’s office and knocked firmly on the wooden door. When there was no response, she tried again. Still nothing.A sigh came from behind the front desk. Amelia turned to see the school secretary, a middle-aged woman with rectangular glasses perched on the bridge of her nose. She looked up from her computer screen, arching a brow."Principal Jerkins isn’t in at the moment," the woman said, adjusting her glasses. "You’ll have to wait if you want to see him."Amelia exhaled sharply. Of course. Just her luck. "Do you know how long he’ll be?"The secretary shrugged. "Shouldn’t be too long. He had a meeting with some board memb

  • Our Love Story    Chapter Fifteen

    Blake.Blake didn’t like being late. Not because he cared about rules—Maverick High’s staff wouldn’t dare punish him considering how much money his father pumped into the school every year—but because he preferred to arrive on his own time, under his own terms.Today, however, he had decided to drive himself to school instead of letting one of the drivers take him. His father had just added another luxury car to their collection, sleek and powerful, and Blake needed to show it off.As he pulled into the school’s driveway, students turned to watch, their eyes filled with admiration, jealousy, or curiosity. He smirked as he parked, taking his time stepping out.He untucked his uniform shirt just enough to break the dress code without consequences, ran a hand through his hair to give it that effortless messy-but-still-perfect look, then slung his backpack over one shoulder. His car keys dangled loosely from his index finger as he strolled toward the school building, shoulders squared, exu

  • Our Love Story    Chapter Fourteen

    AmeliaAs soon as Amelia walked through the front door, the familiar scent of home welcomed her—lavender and vanilla, her mother's favorite fragrance. She dropped her bag on the couch and sighed, rubbing her temples.It had been a long day.Between the awkward group project meeting, Blake’s irritating presence, and the shocking revelation that his mother was her mother’s long-lost best friend, Amelia had a lot on her mind.She barely had time to process it all before her mother appeared from the kitchen, a warm smile spreading across her face.There you are,” She said, opening her arms. “How was your day, sweetheart?”Amelia allowed herself to be enveloped in her mother’s embrace, the warmth easing some of the tension in her shoulders.“Exhausting,” she admitted, pulling away.Her mother chuckled. “First days always are.”Amelia hesitated. How was she supposed to drop this bombshell?Oh, by the way, Mom, remember your best friend from high school? Yeah, I met her today.That didn’t se

  • Our Love Story    Chapter Thirteen

    BlakeBlake had always known that his mother spoke fondly of her high school years. It was one of the things she never got tired of talking about—her best friend, Ruby Bridges.Growing up, he'd heard the name more times than he could count. Whenever his mother talked about friendship, loyalty, or memories of high school, it was always Ruby this, Ruby that.It used to annoy him.He'd never cared much for his mother's nostalgic ramblings, and he certainly never thought he'd meet the daughter of the famous Ruby Bridges. Yet, here Amelia was.It was interesting. His mother had adored Ruby. He could still remember the way her eyes lit up whenever she spoke about their high school days. And now, standing here, realizing that Amelia was her daughter, things made a little more sense.Amelia had that same sharp wit his mother always described in Ruby. The same stubbornness. The same unshakable confidence. No wonder she got under his skin. Still, the realization didn't change the fact that she

    AmeliaAmelia did not want to be here. If she had a choice, she’d be anywhere but Blake Andrews's house right now.Unfortunately, not participating in the project wasn’t an option. It would tank her grade, and that was the last thing she wanted. She had always been a straight-A student, and she had every intention of keeping it that way, even if it meant spending hours in the same space as Blake, Catherine, and whatever unnecessary drama they decided to bring.Blake was a necessary evil at this point. She didn’t have to like him—she just had to tolerate him long enough to get through this project.She had received a message earlier in the group chat Blake had created, containing his house address along with a smug comment about people not being late. Amelia had rolled her eyes at that, but she had plugged the address into Google Maps anyway.The drive wasn’t too long, and when she arrived, she couldn’t help but be impressed.Blake’s house was a mansion. The driveway stretched long and

    Blake.Blake wasn’t sure what was more ridiculous—the fact that he had been studying all morning or the fact that he actually cared about impressing Amelia.Not that he’d ever admit it cause if Charlie found out, he’d never let it go.Blake leaned back in his chair, flipping another page in the physics textbook he had borrowed from the school library. His room was quiet, save for the occasional scratch of his pen against paper. The notes he had scribbled looked nothing like his usual ones—this time, he was actually paying attention to what he wrote instead of just doodling in the margins.It was absurd. He was Blake Andrews and he had never needed to study before. Teachers either cut him slack because of his status, or he managed to scrape by without much effort. But after that physics class the other day—after Amelia had completely shut down his rooftop experiment idea—something in him had shifted.She had made him feel stupid. No one had ever done that before and instead of being pi

  • Our Love Story    Chapter Ten

    AmeliaWhy?Why did it have to be them? Of all the people we have in our class?I slumped in my seat, arms crossed, glaring at my desk as if it had personally wronged me.Out of all the students in this class, why did I have to be stuck with Blake, Catherine, and their little group? It was bad enough that I had to deal with Blake’s overinflated ego, but Catherine too? I could already tell she’d contribute absolutely nothing except annoying remarks and excessive hair flips.I sighed, trying to remind myself that this was just a school project. I didn’t have to like my group members—I just had to survive working with them for a month.The moment Mr. Dawson left the classroom, students began huddling together with their assigned groups. Some were already throwing around ideas, while others groaned about having to do any work at all.Then, of course, there was my group.Blake had immediately declared himself the leader—because of course he had—and stalked off to the teacher’s desk to get
