Right. I drop the envelope on my bed. "Will do." I say, containing my embarrassment and shyness. "See you there. A lot of second years will be present." She adds. Just what I needed to hear. It would be awkward to bond if there wouldn't be familiar faces. "Sure. I'll catch you later, Carol." I r
- KILLIAN - A text notification diverts my attention from the screen to my phone. I was having a virtual meeting. Still having one, but the name that popped on along with the notification gave me all the reason I needed to zone out of this boring yet important meeting. Hazel. One end of my lips c
- HAZEL - Making out in his car has become my favourite thing yet. Parked in the indoor car park of a grand boutique, Killian is taking me. Devouring my mouth with his tongue. I moan into his lips. I am no different, I'm on top of him in the driver's seat, my knees situated at both sides of hi
I scream. Not of pain, but pleasure. I keep asking myself this all the time; how does he make my body feel this way? Like I've never done this before. Like it's all new. I'm feeling things I've never felt before and I just want to give into the action without a thought in the world. Without givin
- HAZEL - "Keep this. Don't lose it next time." Killian slides something over my neck in front of me, while holding me to him. We're in the mall. My body feels ripened with good sex and I can't help but grin all through the walk. I hold it in my hand, wondering what it is. My mouth drops. It
Killian and I follow her from behind. "You made a reservation?" I ask, whispering. "Only the best services for you, my dear." He whispers back and kisses my forehead. How did he do that on such short notice? Is there any connection he doesn't have? "Tell me the truth, are you some sort of gov
"If I didn't, I wouldn't be Natalie." The lady says. Killian sits back down on the sofa. "Well then, do your job." Killian says. "She'll brief you in on what she wants." Natalie folds her hand fan with a flick of her hand to the side and walks to me. Her eyes adorn my body and she words her mea
- KILLIAN - Being away from her when she is just in my reach is one of the hardest thing yet. I groan. I can't even speak to her and haven't for hours. The wait is killing me!! I stare at my phone situated between both of my hands which rests on my thighs. I feel like flinging this object. I
- HAZEL - “We can’t see each other anymore, at least, not as much.” I say, standing before him in his school office. The door is wide open for obvious reasons. I have to be very cautious especially when I stay at his place, that alone is the riskiest thing yet but I will not discard the reason I ca
I look back ahead. Hazel is still in there. “What does this have to do with what I’m looking at?” I ask. Anger suddenly brews within me but I’m careful not to make a drastic movement. If this lady is insinuating what I think she is, then I’d risk getting temporarily paralysed to give her a resoundin
“Stop panting too hard, Kate. I know you. And you know me.” My heart stopped beating for a second. It was almost as if I forgot to breathe and some sense was knocked into me. Who is this person? Who could it possibly be? The voice doesn’t ring a bell at all. I move my feet in an attempt to turn. “
- KATE - It’s Monday. I’m at the school premises, checking for the halls I’d be taking all my exams at as well as the exam table. On a normal day, I’d get the information online, on the school student website but I needed to keep myself busy physically. There hasn’t been any or much of lectures the
“What can I say? Certain people tend to respond to discipline way faster than kindness.” This makes me squint and stick my lower lip out more as I pout. I’ll choose to ignore that. Mainly because the hour is a good one. I sigh, returning my face to the sky. There are no clouds blocking the moon
- HAZEL - I’m standing out the balcony upstairs, staring into the night sky. It’s cold out here and although my skin is plagued with goosebumps, I didn’t budge nor go back inside. I’m just out here, letting the cold dissolve into my skin while deep in thought. The stars are beautiful tonight. It’s
- KATE - I can’t wrap my head around it but something fishy is going on around me and I don’t know what. I don’t know if I’m the one overthinking what I shouldn’t. What shouldn’t even be in the first place. This is Killian’s fault. If he isn’t acting in some kind of way, I wouldn’t have anything
- ASAMI - There’s something I hate more than cheating. And that’s not being able to get what I want despite coming so close to achieving it. I watched her get off the airport, I watched her throughout the journey till she arrived at her destination. I don’t know what happened after then because I
“Kate.” She calls my name softly. Disgust fills me, riveting throughout my bones and I’m sure it’s obvious in my facial expression. I just want an explanation from her before I dive into ridiculous conclusions based on my current state of mind. After all, she’s my bff. “Talk.” I say, my voice stra
