My eyes danced around and I saw students were enjoying the party. I'm seeing a lot of new faces, I guess they're from the other classes. I smiled gently as I sighted Anna, she was laughing with Clinton. What about Ava? I glanced around but I couldn't see her, where did she go huh? Goodness, I shut my eyes resting on the sofa when the lights suddenly went off. Huh? What happened? I clutched tightly to my phone as we waited for the light to be restored.The lights came on but this time, it's dim, I bet they changed it. It's now a blue dim light."Hello everyone" Henry yelled as he walked in and students began cheering."So, the movie is about to start and it's a romantic one" he chuckled as Fanscho walked in with a bag. He poured the content down and I saw popcorn fall out. Really? I scoffed as I waited for Henry to continue."So, there are going to be drinks. Champagne or whatever you want, they'd bring it soon. You all should have fun as we wait for the movie to start. And mind you, t
He chuckled before lifting my chin and I shut my eyes not to look at him, "tell me are you scared of me Camila?" He asked in a whisper and I opened my eyes."Of course…no" I whispered back."So, why the cold replies huh?" He asked, now his face was void of expression. I swallowed hard as I thought of his question. Was I cold to him? Well, of course, I should be."I'm sorry" was the only thing that came out of my mouth and he stared at me for a while."For what Camila?" He asked, his eyes not leaving me. "You didn't answer my questions, you only apologized," he muttered."You're too…too close" I whispered but he didn't bulge. "Someone might misinterpret" I added and he paused. He blinked rapidly before moving away from me and as if realizing something, he exhaled."I want a drawing from you" was the only thing he said as he stood up. He ruffled my hair before walking out leaving me on the balcony.CHLOE"So, what was that huh?" I asked as I reached Braden. He actually knows I've been b
"How come you brought her here?" I stylishly asked Jack as he sat beside me."Could you believe she slept off? She slept off in the balcony" he chortled as he glanced at her. "I only went to the balcony searching for her and there, I saw her" "Ohh" I mouthed as I looked away. He better not ask me any question. I glanced at Camila again and she was curled up on the sofa. How can she be this beautiful, huh? Her lids were closed beautifully and I realized there's a charm on this girl. But she's asleep, isn't she going back tonight?"So, tell me, who's going to be your girl on your birthday?" Jack asked and I snapped out of my thoughts.I exhaled as I remembered my birthday is fast approaching, goodness, "no one, it's not compulsory I show the world one" I answered casually and he laughed."I just think you should get one," he smiled before standing up. I saw his eyes dart around, the sly smile on his lips and I saw him stare at a particular direction for a while."I'd be with that girl"
HENRYI shut my eyes as I laid on the bed. I was in deep thoughts, when did she leave? At least she could have informed me before she left. Of course, she couldn't. I wasn't even with her. I was with that girl. Goodness, I regret the fact that I slept with that bitch. Oh no, I better control the way I sleep around. I guess I have to get a girlfriend now. But who? All girls are bitches. A message popped into my phone and I shut my eyes seeing it's my manager."Yes?" I texted him."Well Henry, there's a shoot and the organization wants pictures of you""No of course, I hate having to see my face everywhere" I texted back. Another message popped in but I didn't bother to check it. Goodness I'm not a fucking model not a celeb. They should just find people to advertise for them."Are you Henry?" I heard the voice of Jack. I picked the remote, opening the door for him."Now what brings you here huh?" I asked as I stared at him."How did we get home?" He asked his eyes searching through ever
CAMILAI exhaled as I stood in front of the class and slowly, I placed my leg in. Goodness, I was stressed before I got a taxi. I hate all of this so much. If not that I can't afford Ubers, I'd conveniently use one. I smiled as it glanced around the class and the first person I saw was Henry. He was chatting with his friends. I looked away instantly before I'd be caught as walked timidly inside."Hi Clinton" I greeted when I reached him and he stared at me for a while."Are you trying to sound formal? We are friends, aren't we?" He asked and I nodded as I smiled."Of course we are," I chortled, making use of the seat."So, how was your weekend pretty?" "Common stop it Clinton. My weekend was okay" I chuckled as I blushed."I didn't see you around on Friday. Who were you with? Henry?"I turned to him with a shocked eye, what does he mean? "I was with no one, I was asleep" I told him as I took out my note."Okay" he hummed quietly before resting on the seat."Did you really miss him t
CAMILAI exhaled as I sat on the sofa, seriously? Did he really have to say that? But…did I really act like I was being forced to talk? I shut my eyes in deep thought. Goodness, I really have to stop thinking. I'll just have something to eat.When I was done, I walked slowly to the store to see the materials. A sculpture? I guess I have to think of using this anytime soon but that …will take so long. I walked out gently to my room and I flopped down to the bed. Should I give Henry a call? Hell no. I know I should apologize but that should be to his face right? Goodness, I shut my eyes as I rolled on the bed. Did I really act like I was forcing him to talk? No, I was even enjoying the feeling of his fingers. I snorted as I picked the phone scrolling to his picture, he's very beautiful. Why would I not want to talk to him, huh?….The next day, I waited for him to appear in the class to no avail. Huh? Isn't he coming? When we were done with the second subject, he walked in majestically.
CAMILAI stared into my sketchpad once more and slowly, I smiled seeing his face. I couldn't believe I drew it that day. I chuckled as I ran my hands on his face in the book. But now, he's mad. It's been three days since we last spoke. I really can't believe he'd ignore me because I couldn't apologize for what I don't even know. I sluggishly shuffled towards Anna and Ava and as soon as I got to them, they both glared at me."Hi" I greeted ignoring their glares. "How're you doing, huh?" I asked with a small smile but they didn't even care to stare at me. "What's wrong?" I asked, quietly and Anna looked up at me."You're a threat Camila, I don't want you as my friend" she answered and that felt like a bullet in my skin. What?"Why?" I asked in a whisper."Because we hate you. You get all the attention we deserve. Everybody we like likes you. We hate you" Ava spoke meanly and I stared at them surprised."But…you…I don't understand" I stuttered as I stared at Anna but she looked away, avo
HENRYStaring down at my hands, I couldn't believe it's my birthday. My freaking birthday. I chuckled as my hand instinctively searched inside the wardrobe looking for nothing in particular. My fingers felt something and I pulled it out. And there it was, her necklace. I sighed as I stared at it, it's for her, my late mother. I sniffed as I remembered her. I didn't get to spend time with her because they couldn't afford things with me, I had to go stay with a family member."Henry!" Dad called and I turned to him instantly."Happy birthday Henry" he smiled as he pulled me to him and I hugged him. I know he sacrificed a lot to be with me, "may you live long Henry" he smiled as he pulled away from the hug."Happy birthday Mr." I heard the voice of my so-called step mother. I hummed silently as she reached me with a big box. "You've grown so big" she smiled as she ruffled my hair and I scoffed mentally."Here, a birthday present" she smiled, placing it on the table. "All the guests are d
