It was already eight at night and I decided to go to Dad's office to tell him about the mishap in me joining the volleyball team. My heart was thumping fast, and I was biting my bottom lip because of nervousness. I didn't know how he was going to react, but nevertheless, I felt the need to tell him.
I knocked on his office door, and when I heard him said "come in", I twisted the knob and entered his office. Closing the door behind me, I moved closer to Dad and settled on the seat in front of him. He was holding a pen, writing down on the paper while his attention was focused on it. He seemed to not mind my presence; he didn't stare at me, he just glanced.
After I cleared my throat, I uttered, "Dad, I have to tell you something."
"What is it?" he asked.
"I was—" I fumbled over my words, unsure of how I would say it, "I wasn't accepted in the volleyball team because the slots are already filled up." I
The day after tomorrow, I was strolling down the hallway with Amanda and Emma on both of my sides. They were babbling about their experiences in Kingsley so far while I kept quiet, planning my next move to get ahead of Lindsey.The atmosphere at our house wasn't really great. I could feel the coldness of Mom and Dad towards me and the way they were giving Lindsey all their attention as if to make me realize what I was missing after disappointing them. I was certain Lindsey fed some lies to them so she would look like this angel when she was worse than Satan himself.I wasn't even sure if I should be staying in a toxic environment at home. It was making me detest my existence. Just by thinking about what was going on with my parents and me right now bothered me.I felt a hand suddenly grabbed my forearm as I drifted from my thoughts. Looking at Emma who was now staring at me, weirded out by my silence, I pulled my hand away
"Where's Amanda?" I asked Emma as she joined me while I walked outside the school."She left early. She said it's urgent," she answered and I nodded in response."I'm going on a date today," I budged, causing Emma to stare at me with a huge smile on her face."Wait, with who?" Her tone was filled with enthusiasm."Mason.""As in Mason Walker? Captain of the football team?""Yup," I said, sounding apathetic."I don't see you laid eyes on him.""I'm gonna try. He seems like a good guy.""You're not using him to get over Liam, are you?""No, Emma. Why would you think that?" I gave her a scowl, quite teed off at the mention of his name.Liam was already fine, and I guess it was also the perfect time for me to get over what happened between us. I wasn't trying to forget about him either; he bec
She was the purest kid I had ever encountered, and her little giggles were like a melody in my ears. Children rarely approached me, never had this moment ever struck my mind. And I was caught off guard when she suddenly appeared. It made me feel special. But nevertheless, this was the most adorable thing.When I was about to lift the toddler up, I woman called from behind, shaking me out of my thoughts."Dorris," she called, worry filled her tone.She immediately went beside us, and I flitted my eyes up before I stood. The woman, who I think was the mother, lifted the toddler up and embraced her tight. Her gaze landed to me, plastering a look of appreciation as her eyes glimmered."Your daughter is the most adorable kid I've ever met," I complimented, a huge grin crept across my face."Thank you so much. She's randomly talking to strangers and I'm glad she's not hurt." She rocked the toddl
Just when our lips were about to collide, a phone suddenly rang and I was guessing it was Mason's; I left mine inside the car. The anticipation I had vanished, and he quickly pulled away from me. Slipping his hand in the pocket of his slocks, he pulled his phone out and answered the call.I didn't actually plan to kiss Mason on our first date, I just thought that I should go with the flow and see where it would lead. I found him hard to resist, and if I instantly gave in, then the thrill would be over and he wouldn't be anticipating it.After a few minutes, he'd dropped the phone and slid it back inside his pocket. Looking at me, he ran a hand at the back of his neck before he said, "Sorry for that."I could see him blushing while he was trying to look away from me to hide his face. Standing up, I took a deep breath one last time and admired the view in front of us."I think it's about time that we call th
My mouth went dry, and my heart clenched at the thought of what happened to Liam. Up until now, the capability of my parents continued to make me feel unsettled. They could do anything in just one snap, no hindrance nor hesitation. I expected them to be more reasonable, but with them doing that to the person I loved, I didn't know what I was going to think towards them. They'd stooped so low, why did they have to do that?I plastered a blank expression, a lump formed in my throat, as thoughts swirled in my head I almost felt dizzy."I'm sorry I told you this. I just can't bear hiding such a thing to you," Emma said, looking down at her fidgeting hands."Is Liam still in jail?" I asked, my voice almost cracked from the emotions surging in."Wait, what are you guys talking about?" Amanda interfered as her brows knitted together in confusion."Kourtney's ex." Emma shrugged, her attention was
The day went by and the presentation for the student council runners was over. After the impromptu speech I had yesterday, it honestly made me feel empowered. I delivered a precise message to everyone and didn't have a dead face while I speak. It was actually better than having a script that you already memorized because my speech sounded natural and not forced. They'd given me cheerful claps, so was the principal who I was casually glancing at while I delivered my speech.I was panting, as my hair swayed back and forth with every step I took. Beads of sweat were trickling down to my forehead, and my legs almost felt numb from the ceaseless jogs we took around the field. Amanda was behind me, trying to catch up with my pace as I drifted my thoughts to her. Stopping on my track, I glanced behind her and released a breath."How many rounds do we need to jog?" I asked as grimace formed on my face."About five rounds I think,"
She pulled my hair and I was trying so hard to lash out from her grasp. My head began to throb, as I noticed the cheerleaders crowding around us. Amanda pulled me away, but since this bitch was clutching my hair tightly, it made it impossible. Some of them didn't stop Melissa, instead, they cheered for her as if they were enjoying what was happening."Get off me!" I exclaimed, pushing her away because I couldn't grab her cornrows to make her suffer the same."You asked for this," she responded through gritted teeth.My heart was pulsating rapidly, and I could feel the heat gushing through me from anger. I was grimacing in torment, but I couldn't do anything but clasp her hands and tried to shove her away. I was tired and weak after the training, that's why I didn't have the strength to fight back."Stop it, you guys." Amanda was holding my shoulders, and she was helping me to get away from Melissa.
Warning: There's sexual content in this chapter.~*~My mouth almost gaped at the sight of him being here, and the thought of the embarrassment I would get myself if he knew that I was put in detention caused a lump to form in my throat. Gulping, I flashed a smile as he started to approach."Mason," I greeted. "I was just um . . . looking around this place. Why are you here?" I returned the question to him."This is my secret spot," he answered, as his eyes roamed around the area."This is a dirty ass place." I chuckled, crossing my arms above my chest. "Why did you choose this as your secret spot?"His gaze landed on the area behind the humongous bookshelf."There's a console over there." He pointed a finger at the area he was looking for."Like, a gaming console?""Yup."
A/NThis is a bonus chapter for “Queen Of Ace” and probably the last part of this novel. Since I wanted to write a chapter related to Christmas, I came up with an idea to write a Christmas-themed chapter as the very ending. This is still related on Queen Of Ace and the characters are still the same.
The second semester had already started and all of the students were now crowding the hallway. We had taken a long break from all the crazy things that happened during the first semester. The dramas diminished, people left, new students entered the school, and hopefully, new beginning. This was the start of something new, something ecstatic and something that would fill everyone with anticipation. I was ready for this day like I was before, and this time, we came back to not start drama, but to fix all the things that should be resolved before we’d taken a break.
We all headed in our lockers to shower and change our own clothes to wash off the sweats in our body. As we left the field, almost everyone greeted me congratulations and I felt overwhelmed by the attention that I was getting. Right after Mason asked me to be his girlfriend, I didn’t feel like hesitating, not because of the pressure the attention I was getting dawned on me, but the fact that I wanted Mason to be mine. I took back what I said before that I wouldn’t look at him the same way as I looked at Liam. I took back what I said that we would just remain friends. I took back what I said at the moment when I was still in a relationship with someone else. I took back everything and it was relieving. I got to express my feeling and I didn’t hold back with having the new beginning that I had been longing. I knew Mason was the one for
It was already the most anticipated day of all the students in Kingsley: the football rematch. We had been training for this the whole day and I couldn’t wait to perform our chants in front of everyone. We were inside of the girl’s locker room, changing to our cheerleader outfit, applying makeup on our face, and tied a ribbon around our high ponytail. Black and white had been the theme color of the Panthers and we decided to change our outfit and gone a little creative so we would stand out. We added some flitters to our uniform and tassels around our skirts to make a beautiful effect when we would perform our cheers. I also told everyone to put a touch of glitter in their makeup so we would be dazzling throughout the game.
My body still hurt from what happened between me and Mason yesterday in their house. And going to school with a body ache, the Aspirin doing nothing to calm the pain in my body, I had almost regretted the temporary bliss I felt that day. I could hardly concentrate during the exam and my body wouldn’t cooperate during the training. I could barely do a proper stunt and Coach Adriana felt a little worried that I might fail to do the stunt tomorrow when the football game started. We all had been anticipating the special day and I assured Coach Adriana that I would be executing the stunt flawlessly when the football game started. We’d finished all the examinations needed and we proceeded to our training. We had a few dry runs of our new chants and choreography, but through those runs, we barely had mistakes which was a good sign. This just meant
Warning: This chapter contains an explicit sex scene.~*~I had anticipated Danny’s retaliation once he saw Nicholas and that shouldn’t be a surprise. But the fact that it was the first time that I’d seen Danny beyond ma
The cheer leaders threw their majorette batons as the others held their pompoms high in the air. They all moved around to the final position as I did my stunt in front once they all froze. I some cartwheels and backflip in the end as what I always did in our routine as Coach Adriana blew her whistle to indicate the end of the training. Once the whistle rang in our ears, we all took a deep breath and dispersed through the field. Plopping myself on the ground, I brought my knees in front of my chest and placed my elbows on my knees. My sweats trickled down to both my forehead and temples as the heat gushed through my body from releasing too much energy. I looked down on the ground, letting the sweat fall on the green grass below me. And when the crisp wind swept against my skin, the heat started to diminish.
We spent half of the day training and the rest of my time was spent with half of the periods after the first ones that I missed. They announced the examination and some of the subjects would be starting tomorrow. They also told us that we would be finishing the examinations before the football game started because they wanted us to enjoy the weekends without worrying about the result of our grades.I was heading
The only reason I knew why Sir Richards would get suspended was the fact that I Lindsey had given him a blowjob last time which was out of character. But I highly doubt the school would know about it unless either Caley and I spoke up. We were the only ones who knew about it and we didn’t really plan on sharing it in the whole school. I just used this information to threaten Lindsey so she would stop getting in my way.“So does that mean we wouldn’t be having Psychology class?” Emma asked with a smile on her face.
