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."
I quickly hooked my brassiere and grabbed the blouse on the ground. Getting off of Mason whose eyes were widened from the sudden interruption, I went to the corner of the bookshelf and slid my blouse back on. I buttoned it up, and after I'd fixed my clothing, I darted a look at Mason.He was raking his tousled hair to its place and tied it up again to a bun. He crouched on the ground, fixing the console and turned off the television. Heaving a sigh of relief, I placed a hand on my forehead and comprehend what happened.What the hell just happened? I asked to myself and quickly pulled out of my haze. We almost did it here, in this area, and I was letting him. I didn't regret any of the things that happened, I just wasn't fond of ending it this way. I was drenched with sweat, and my lips were soaked because of that heated make-out session.I tried to fix my hair back to its place and wiped my mouth with my blouse from the mes
When he reached our area, he beamed at us with his pearly, white teeth before flitting his eyes back at Amanda. He was quite tall— taller than Amanda's supermodel height and his physique was masculine. He didn't look all buffed, he just looked fit."Amanda," he spoke, his accent was rough and his voice was deep. "Let's go?"She glanced at us before looking back at Miguel and smiled sheepishly."Uh . . ." She tried to find her words, twirling some strands of hair with her finger. "I have to go, guys. Thanks a lot.""Yeah. I'm sorry for barging on you," Miguel apologized with an innocent look on his face.He was quite fine, and he had this angelic aura that he emanated. He seemed bright, and the way he smiled was sweet."No, that's alright. We're going to leave anyway, so have fun." I turned on my heels and approached my car. Emma trailed along with me after having a l
Having to wake up in the morning with my cheek throbbing from the slap I had was a nightmare. I didn't know why it was more painful than last night, but maybe because of the emotional pain I felt yesterday made my physical body numb. If that even made sense. Prominent redness had formed on my cheek, and it had Dad's hand marked on it. Layering it with concealer and foundation was the only way nobody would notice it.What happened last night had struck me tremendously. The blaze in Dad's eyes was unlike the ones he had when he learned about my pregnancy. I didn't know what caused him to be enraged, but I was guessing it was because Lindsey fed them lies. Being stuck at home, surrounded by people that did nothing but hate me, felt disabling. And having to deal with them for the rest of my life would surely be my nightmare. I guess I was doomed for this kind of living after I'd killed a child.I shook my head, pulled myself out of my thoughts
Once Melissa and her friend had gone out of the washroom, I immediately stood from the bowl and grabbed my bag from the hook. Sliding my phone inside the pocket of it, I swung the door open and stepped outside of the cubicle. I approached the mirror in front of me with a mischievous smirk tugged on my lips.Maybe I was wrong for thinking Lindsey had to do something with Melissa messing up my reputation yesterday. Nevertheless, I was still eager to destroy her. She tested me, and now she would have to deal with whatever was about to come her way. I would just laugh at her face while her world crumbled. It was one of the things I was fond of seeing: people who came for me were the ones who would be ending themselves. How pathetic.I went outside of the washroom and headed down the hallway to find my next class. Just when I was about to divert my way to the other section of the hallway, I stopped on my track when I
"Who's this?" Emma asked.The earphones were plugged in her ears as she held my phone to listen to the recording. A smirk was playing on my lips while I stared at her, and thoughts began to linger in my head.What occurred inside the washroom was so spontaneous. To be completely honest, I thought the cause of Melissa's lack of fondness towards me was because of Lindsey. I knew she was brainwashing students on changing their perception of me; my gut told me so. But having to hear Melissa's snide remarks about us made it clear that she wasn't involved in Lindsey's shenanigan. And I was worried that she might be another one who would willing to cause me more problems.As Emma unplugged the earphones from her ears, she handed the cellphone back to me and placed both her crossed hand on the table. Leaning closer, she whispered, "What are you gonna do with that?""Let's see . . ." I tapped my index finger on my
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.
