Chapter 20It was kinda stupid of me to think of what'll happen to him when his dad sees the picture, rather than think of what mom would think of me when she sees the picture.He didn't seem bothered about it but he didn't talk to me throughout the day.The one time I bumped into him, just when I'd finished lectures he just stared and left.I expected him to annoy me as usual even though I hated it whenever he does that, it felt weird.I sighed as I walked across the hall and for the first time, it was empty.Then I was ambushed.Arms around me tugged behind my back. I let out a scream but later a hand went over my hand.I stumbled back and fell on my butt, the hand finally left me and I opened my eye to see who it was, but it was pitch black. With the red light hovering over the box, I concluded I was in the janitor's closet."Who the fuck's there?""It's Zeke." A voice whispered and then turned on the light.And there stood Zeke, for Strawberry's sake, this is the second time!I ha
Chapter 1I sighed loudly as I put on my headphones and scrolled down the screen of my phone in search of music or anything to keep me busy.It has been six months since I've been waiting for the admission letter into the college of my dreams.Holland College.Oh, how I love that place.It's a private college.It was a dream place for any young teenage girl like me would love to go to.Besides my girl bestie, Ciara already got admission in and is hoping I get to join her soon enough.I sighed again before pressing my thumb on one of Taylor's Swift songs.I love her songs and I see her as a model.I hummed the ongoing song as I walked down the stairs, then headed to the kitchen.I brought out a box of cereal.Frizzle pops.Oh, how I love this cereal.I grinned as I poured a large quantity in a bowl, added milk from the carton, and stirred it up.I walked to the living room, then picke
Chapter 2"Wow." Was all I could say as mom parked the car in front of the college.An enormous gray stoned manor towered above us.I was marveled at its size, probably seven times bigger than my house."I'm glad you like your new hostel," mom said.I gripped the car seat, wincing at her words. You could say I was shocked to death.Everything seemed to move so fast.Just two days ago, I was seating on the sofa, with my phone and frizzle pop in front of me.And here I am, going to be parentless, in college.Before I could say anything, mom honked the car twice."Mom, what are you doing?" I asked nervously.Yeah, I was nervous about meeting new people."I'm just alerting Cole," mom said and hopped out of the car before I could respond.I heard the trunk of the car open and my suitcase was dragged out."Oh shit!" I muttered.Cole was dressed in a white rugged shirt and shorts.
Chapter 3I turned immediately and saw a guy seated on the rumpled bed.My cheeks burst with color and a strange heat rocked through me. My nerves were on fire. My heart was having a seizure."How long have you been here?" I managed to ask."Can't tell," he answered getting off the bed.Oh my gosh! he probably saw me dressing up."Are you here to clean off because I don't remember calling the janitor," he said and sat on the bed."This is my room." I said pointing at my suitcase, "Get used to it."He cocked his head right and walked closer to me.He was good six feet tall above my 5'4 height.He had tousled light auburn hair that stuck out in some places.It covered most of his forehead and reached his chocolate brown eyes.They reminded me of the eyes of a puppy.I guessed that's how he gets t
Chapter 4It was harder to sleep than I thought, Zeke wasn't even the problem.I slept kinda early and he was probably somewhere playing snooker or whatever guys do at night.But I kinda missed my old bed and the warmth it gave me.I know it sounds dumb, even to me.I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, I sat up and pinched my self maybe I would stop daydreaming. But sadly, I wasn't."I feel like a mess, ain't I?" I asked nobody in particular."The nerd's a huge mess!" Zeke's voice yelled.That's when I realized I wasn't alone in the room.I'd gotten used to talking to myself and asking myself random and dumb questions.I bolted upright and a huge mass of curly brown hair came tumbling around me and spilled around my face and shoulder, this is what I get for not combing my hair before getting into bed.
Chapter 5"Alright, we're going to do a practical." Prof. Kendricks our chemistry lecturer said.We were doing the volumetric analysis experiment.I loved chemistry so full of exciting practicals; Science is my thing.You're a nerd...Get out of my head Zeke!"Are you alright?" someone asked behind me.I turned and saw the prettiest grey eyes that could make you fall in love.Damien Clement.I had cold feet and was numb for a minute"Yeah..." I trailed off after what seemed to be like forever."Looks like we're partners." He said and sat beside me, then we began the experiment by putting the acid in the burette."Would you like to do the honors?" He asked."Sure." I smile then took the acid and poured it into the burette."So I he
Chapter 6"Just a few more touches girl and you'll be a princess," Ciara said."Now for your makeup.," She said."This is taking forever!" I whined."Hold still!" She yelled, trying to fix the eyelashes."Now you can look," she said.I stood up and looked at myself in that mirror...I looked different.My brown hair was all curled and pinned up.I wore a white chiffon button design high slit skirt, it exposed one side of my leg.Ciara said I had to look spontaneous because it's freaking Damien Baxter's party.While she had a white button-down on.***"I'll be right back," Ciara said and left to meet the guy who'd winked at her.The scene in front of me made me feel sick, loud music blaring into my ears, stupid teenagers making out behind the green bushes, i
"Oh no he didn't!" Ciara half yelled."Yeah and I'm pretty sure it was intentional and can you believe he didn't apologize," I said."That fucking manwhore is gonna pay," She said clenching her fists."I'm gonna make him go on his damn knees and apologize.""He'll only frustrate my life the more," I said."That's why I'm here, I'm gonna chop off his dick and feed it to the dogs.""That's hilarious."I looked over her shoulder and saw Zeke staring keenly at the water.He was on the other end of the pool, busy splashing pool water with his foot.He had only shorts on and was shirtless."Are you even listening?" Ciara asked as she shook my shoulders."Huh?" I answered."Were you-" she paused then looked over her shoulder, then gave me a skeptical look."Don't gimme that kind of look," I said and then stood up."It's kinda boring just staying here." Ciara pouted."I know, I know.""How about we crash in over there and watch a movie?" She asked.At first, I thought she'd gone insane."Comm

Chapter 19The sun flickered through the window around nine in the morning and it hurt my eyes.The first thing I saw was Zeke's nipples."Gahh!" I shrieked.How in the world did this happen?!I stared at Zeke who slept like a baby with his arms around me.He'd be cuter if he was less of a troublemaker.I sat up and removed his hand then got off the bed and headed to the bathroom.For some reason, my head and stomach were aching.Well, I remember heading to the kitchen after the whole Zeke drama and then that's all.After freshening up for the day, I changed into a flannel shirt and denim shorts."You're up early," He said."Of course, I had to wash off your sweaty body.""You were the one who wanted to cuddle."Holy cow!"Yeah about yesterday-" I started."Pfft, nothing happened between us...yet" he smirked."Not that," I sighed."What?""You'll need to apologize to Damien," I blurted out."What did I do?" He asked."Don't try acting smarty pants, you know what you did," I said."The
Chapter 18+Zeke+"You seen Tiffany?" I askedThe same reply I got before, no.Oh shit! Where has the nerd gone to now, because for all I know she's dumb as hell?"Dude wazzup!" Someone slapped my back."Hey, Sean." Then we shook and hugged each other."See those hot chicks over there?" He asked and looked at me."They're good at bj," He said and grinned exposing his brown teeth."Yeah, I've got something really important to do," I said."Common man, opportunities like this are rare.""I've gotta go," I said slowly backing away."Fine with that dude," He said and raised his hands.Pretty sure some of those bitches got STDs.Then I saw Allen and Ciara seated behind the bar counter and laughing."Allen, you seen Tiffany?""Nah," Allen replied."Yeah, saw her down the hallway some moments ago," Ciara said."Wasn't asking you." I snapped."A thank you would have been better." She gritted her teeth."You're welcome," I grinned."Ugh, just fuck off!"I gave her my middle finger and turned m
Chapter 17I yawned and then got out of bed, then answered nature's call, brushed, and took a shower.I packed my hair into a messy bun and then wore a hoodie and sweatpants as it felt chilly.I took out the pizza and then microwaved it, with a huge carton of milk from the mini freezer.Then I placed the pizza and glass of cold milk on the counter, dragged a foldable seat in front of it, and sat on it."What the heck's that?"I didn't need to look at who was talking and then took a slice of the pizza and munched it.It felt like I was in heaven!"Mmm!" I sighed loudly as I took another slice.Zeke jumped on the counter and then stared at the pizza."A little privacy?" I asked."When we're sharing a room, nuh-uh." He replied.The door burst open and Ciara poked her head."Uhmm guys, iono about you guys buhh we're having a seminar right now." She said."Geez, I had no idea," I said."What in the world- is that a chocolate pizza!" She squealed before entering the room."So that's the stu
Ciara helped me with the makeup and brought out a tight black gown for the date."Is that necessary?" I asked."This is your first real date, so yah.""Urgghh I've heard that like a thousand times.""It was only thrice.""Urgghh! Do you have to be annoying?""Quit whining and wear your dress, it's pretty."I rolled my eyes before stepping into the dress. "Oh la la, you look yummy!" She squealed."Oh please don't eat me," I replied sarcastically."Now put on a white heel and parade the college. Then your gimme all the whole details of how you guys did it." She smirked.Did what?"Yeah, whatever."***Well, he'd ordered sushi for both of us and he was eating and texting on his phone.I sighed and then looked for a big one before I stabbed the chopstick in it and slowly chewed it.Well, here I was on our first date...in the college sushi shop, with some nerdy girls staring at us."Great sushi huh?" He asked.I gulped down a glass of Pepsi and then nodded, "I agree.""So your parents, I
Well, the lecturer hadn't arrived, because his dog pooped in his shoes.Pathetic!Like has he only one shoe?!I headed back to the dorm, slammed it behind me, and got into bed.Zeke was on his bed smoking."Skipping lectures?" I asked.He puffed out a cloud of smoke before replying, "We're having one?"Urgghh, I groaned.I got up and switched on the fan."Why'd you ignore Isaac through the day?""Just stay outta it nerd.""If you don't wanna open up, that's fine by me." I lay on the bed."He fucked my sister," He growled, "Besides it will be safer if he's away from me.""The same way you fuck some other guy's sister," I said."Don't defend him, it's not my fault the girls throw themselves at me and whatever life throws at you, you got to make use of it.""You know I hate to admit it," I said."What?""That you're right."He smirked as he gulped a glass of white liquid beside him and then winced, "I've always been right, baby."Zeke's baby."But they probably love each other," I said.
Oh damn!The cramps!Luckily today's the last day of my monthly visitor!I muffled onto my pillow and dragged it by my side and stared at Zeke who had his back faced me.I sat up and leaned on the wall, staring at his back.His phone rang and he looked at it them murmured some words before heading to the toilet.I left the bed, adjusted my tracksuit pants then leaned against the toilet door."Why?"Why what? I leaned further and then squeezed my face."Why's he fucking back?""Sorry, mom.""Yeah great.""Yeah, whatever."I tiptoed back to my bed and sat on it.Zeke came out looking all dull and pale.He seemed lost as he walked past me."Ahem!" I cleared my throat.He looked at me, squatted, and grinned.Oh, the hot nipples...Oh, Tiffany!"Your ass looks padded today." He whispered.I thought I-"You don't go staring at your sis like that," I said adjusting on the bed."You made me stare." He frowned and then stood up."Well for sure I didn't make you stare at my ass.""And I didn't
A whole week passed and Zeke kept on giving me the silent treatment, he'd sit at a different table with Issac and Allen.And he's been skipping lectures, seminars, and tutorials.I slowly scooped up some frizzle pops, sighed then ate it.After eating, I'd put one of Taylor Swift's songs and placed my headphones over my head.I brought out a Sally Hansen nail hardener then began applying it."It wouldn't be bad to apply purple and black?" I asked no one as I stared at my nails.Squee! That would be so hot!Ohh Damien's gonna love it, he loves purple, he loves you!"Hmph, I'll do it." I shrugged.I felt two fingers poke me in my side and I jumped up knocking off my headphones in the process.I saw Zeke behind me with a smirk, "Zeke!" I breathed, "You scared the shit outta me."He wore a black latex jacket and black jeans with white converse."So that's where your sensitive spot is, I wonder where the rest are." He grinned."Pig," I mumbled.He looked down at my ruined nails and then fro
After two weeks' break, we all headed back to college and things didn't turn out so good...well for me.I took two slices of bread then put it in the toaster and patiently waited to get my toasted bread.I clanked the teacup with the teaspoon as I waited.I already felt worked up so I laid my head on the counter.After some minutes, a smoky odor filled up the air. I bolted upright and then placed my hand over my nose.Then I walked to the study table side and met Zeke seated beside the window, staring right at it with his back facing me. An ashtray and a bottle of alcohol beside him."Phew!, I thought something was on fire, do you mind doing that shit outside?" I said waving my hand.He tossed the already used cigarette out of the window the took the bottle beside him swung it into his mouth then took some gulp and then tossed the empty bottle aside, cleaned his mouth with the back of his hand, stood up, and left."Rude!" I mumble as I stood up to get my toast bread. Unfortunately, it
