His mouth gaped when I uttered those words, and he slightly threw his head back in disbelief. A smile played on his lips, and his face seemed to light up like he just heard the good news. He blinked his eyes for a couple of times, while I stared at him and chuckled.
“I . . .” he stuttered as I giggled at his reaction. “I wasn’t too.”

Of course, what did I expect from her? She told them what happened when they were gone, and she told them how rebellious I was. This was her way of feeding her own ego and to make her look better than me. She was going too far about this. I was just letting her have it because of how greedy she was and I didn’t want my parents to get more infuriated at me.We stared at each other, longer than I expected. Her piercing brown eyes were shooting daggers at me as I gazed at her, clue
I jammed Emma’s doorbell a couple of times, as the breeze that blew on my skin made my body shiver. The wetness the tears had left on my cheeks had already dried up, and my lips that quivered from anxiousness a while ago was shaking from coldness right now. I wrapped my arms around myself, rubbing my palms on them to create heat to warm my freezing body.This occurrence was familiar. I could recall this happening when the night Liam and I had broken up. That was also the t
We all stared at him expectantly, as I looked at him with a stoic face.The difficult situation that I had with my parents last night suddenly flashed in my head. The immense pain I had gone through started surging in again. And it was all because I made a mistake with sleeping with him during the night at the party. The way my dad had raised his shirt in front of my face was still vivid in my head, and whenever I thought about it, I was filled with shame. Aside from all the hurtful words my parents had told me last
I immediately returned home after learning that Mom and Dad called Liam over. I knew this was their bait for getting me back at our house, but I didn’t care. I wouldn’t let them do something to him. I didn’t know what was the deal with him, but I wasn’t happy about it. My gut was telling me something that a horrible thing might come and I wasn’t ready for it.
Liam and I had arrived in the Golden Gate Park and we were now strolling along the pavements beside the blooming flowers that stretched to the other border. Our fingers were intertwined, and our arms were grazing at each other as we looked straight ahead. I’d never thought San Francisco had one of the best dating locations. I had never got a chance to explore all the places in California because I was stuck in Los Angeles and my parents wouldn’t let me travel this far. They also hated traveling, that’s why they were stuck up in that city along with us. If we would travel, it was always across the country, never around California nor the whole US itself. I remembered traveling to New York City for a week, Boston, and Philadelphia, I think those were the only cities I had been for my ent
I tucked the Panthers cropped top lower to my abdomen and pulled my skirt up to hide my belly-button. Tying my hair to a high-ponytail, I watched as our team prepared for the competition today, as they all scattered around and yelled at each other back and forth. Amanda was sitting in front of me, fixing her makeup as she held a small mirror in front of her face. She plastered a light makeup that accentuated her facial features as the highlighter made her skin look dewy. I turned to face my locker again and rummaged inside of it to find the body shimmer I had bought at Sephora yesterday and put some on my tanned skin, down to my abdomen to make me look glowing. I wanted everyone to see me, especially Liam. He made time to watch our competition.
Waking up in the morning of my eighteenth birthday felt undeniably relieving. The morning sun had shone on me, as the light, it emanated caused me to be at ease. It was like I had re-lived again, and seeing myself in the mirror with that genuine happiness radiating inside of me, made my skin looked even more blooming like the tulips Liam had shown me at the Queen Wilhelmina Garden. I didn’t know why I felt like a completely different person, but maybe it was because everything was going just right.
Walking down the stairs with the eyes of so many people around me had my knees feeling weak, but I couldn’t help but smile widely from the beauty of this night. Everyone was dressed in their formal outfit, as they looked at me with admiration and surprise. I could tell that I was dazzling under the incandescent light that was drawn directly at me, and they were full of anticipation in every step I took. I did feel like it was my birthday, and I was special at this moment.When my gaze met Liam who was standing at the left side of the staircase, his eyes glinted in them and his mouth was slightly parted from surprise. He was the one who gave this dress to me, and it seemed like he was happy with how I looked right now. My gaze was drawn directly at him, admiring his features because he looked so handsome in his black tuxedo. His hair was slicked back, and the stubble that ran along his jawline was neatly trimmed, making him look even hotter. I was captivated by him, and I felt like drow
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.
