"Can we talk about this, when we leave school," I said softly as Beatrice drew out her chair to seat.
"No one would hear us here!" Beatrice smirked as she tapped her hands on the table.
We sat at the far end of the canteen not where we normally seat but it was still a bit far from where Lucas, Jenny, and their crews always seat.
"I still don't feel comfortable," I said glancing around my gaze scrutinizing the whole canteen looking out for him.
"Sit down, Camilla!" Beatrice snickered as she threw a fried chip into her mouth.
I sighed and drew out the chair sitting on it, knowing how stubborn Beatrice could be.
"I'm listening," She spoke her gaze taunting me.
"He took me to his home!" I started and she coughed grabbing the bottle of water quickly, gulping its contents.
I knew she was silly that's why I w
It was another stressful day in the week and the hallway seemed crowded than it usually should be.I saw some students gathering up and shouting, some bringing out their phones taking pictures.I got curious, well something was telling me to mind my business but I disobeyed.I moved closer to the gathered teenagers as they kept laughing and shouting.I gasped as I saw a timid girl sobbing on the floor, I think she's from the junior class, well, I was a year senior for her.Then there stood the three crazy rascals, torturing and oppressing the poor girl.It was Jenny and her maniacs...Don't they have shame other than oppressing and bullying their inferior ones?"So are you telling me you weren't trying to steal my precious diamond bracelet?" Jenny asked angrily as she fisted the girl's hair in her hands.
I couldn't concentrate in class the whole day, as my mind drifted to what Lucas had said earlier. I had expected him to give an explanation but he walked away, leaving me staring in astonishment. What had happened to Lola? Was he mistaking me for another person? Oh God! What's all this? And even though I looked like the person he mentioned, does that give him guts to mistreat me anyhow. I sighed restlessly and felt moody throughout the maths period and I was glad it was finally over. Many questions were running through my head, I wanted to know who was this Lola of a person he mentioned, did he hate her so much as he did towards me... I needed answers but I dared not walk up to the devil himself and start asking him questions about it. Everything was okay at least for a moment and each time I mistakenl
"I heard what happened this morning, Camilla!" Beatrice said as we placed our food on the table. "That Jenny of a girl is a bitch, she's driving me crazy, She's going to make me kill her and bury her 10ft into the ground without anyone knowing," Beatrice seethed and I rolled my eyes with her exaggerating statement. "Lucas was there to help me," I murmured pinching my chocolate doughnuts. "He's so protective of you, he's just a psycho most times," Beatrice said with her mouth full as she munched on her strawberry-filled doughnuts. "He mentioned someone when he kissed me in the hallway," I said biting my lips as I blinked at Beatrice who drew her chair closer to me making a screeching noise. "Can you please stop with that screeching noise each time you draw your chair?" I asked annoyingly, it has always been her habit and I'm not in the mood to listen to anything that wil
Every day almost seemed like a disaster to me, the week was running quickly and I've still not been able to pay my excursion fee. Well, today was the deadline let me put it that way. I walked into the class and sat at my usual spot beside the windows as I twirled my pen in between my fingers. Well, I didn't feel like going anywhere and I think it would be better to just be alone since we were on a free period. Most of the students were not in class including Lucas and Ben. Lucas has decided to give me some break these last few days as he didn't approach me or tease me as he does. He even missed some days and I wasn't bothered to ask, why should I even ask in the first place? He's my bully... I wondered if he even came to school today because I didn't see him during the first and second periods. I hadn'
"Are you sure, he's the one?" I asked Beatrice again as we went to our lunch table. "Yeah, who else could have paid the money?" Beatrice asked eating her macaroni. I glanced towards his table and saw Lucas manipulating his phone as Jenny sat close to him talking. He didn't give me his terrifying looks that always bore holes into my skin. "What if it's not him, and even if it's him I'm not accepting his money," I sneered stuffing the chips into my mouth. I stole glances at Lucas but his eyes were glued to his phone. "What a psycho!" I scoffed and at that moment, he raised his head like he heard what I said as our eyes made contact making me cough as I shifted my gaze away from him feeling nervous. "OMG! Did I say that loud?" I asked myself almost panicking. "Say what loud?" Beatrice asked turning her fo
CAMILLA POV. * * * I Slammed the door making a light thud, clutching the straps of my bag tightly to my back. I walked up through the stairs, today was just as bad as the former. He had paid my fees, why does he have to? I turned the knob of my door to the side as I walked into my room and dropped my bag on the bed. A sigh escaped my lips as I walked over to the mirror, I drew my top to the side and stared at the hickey Lucas caused on my skin. I brought my fingers up slowly tracing the mark which was turning red already. I closed my eyes as his face invaded my thought. I bit my lips, I'm falling for him, he's making me fall for him. But I can't, I hate him and he hates me too, the feeling is mutual. I needed to refresh my mind and w
"So what did you tell your mum?" Beatrice asked as I closed the passenger door of her car and slung the straps of my bag over my shoulders clutching them tightly to myself."Well, I told her you paid for my fees," I smiled warmly. as I kicked the small stone on the ground out of my way.Cars kept converging into the school's park as lots of students huddled around the school's ground."And she bought that lie?" Beatrice asked tauntingly as she chuckled slightly adjusting the band of her denim Jean trouser, while I rolled my eyes, she knew it was Lucas who paid the fee in the first place."What do you expect me to say? That a guy paid for my fee most especially from my worst enemy," I scoffed as we walked closer to the school building."I was just kidding!" Beatrice laughed throwing her arms over my shoulder as she drew me closer to her body."Mum will e
"OMG! You needed to see the skeptical look on her face when Mr. Kent told her Camilla had paid her fees already," Leticia gist Beatrice as they laughed throwing some fries into their mouth."That girl is a bastard, she thinks she can just downgrade anyone she sees," Beatrice smirked."I hate her guts, so annoying and stupid with those two crazy puppets that follow her up and down," Leticia said gulping her Coca-Cola drink.So great, now I've gotten two parrots as friends while I just sat with them drowning in my thoughts.How will I even go and meet Lucas for teamwork?I just pray he leaves me to do everything alone."Camilla, do you swim?" Leticia asked with a grin on her face, as I stared blankly at her."She asked if you swim," Beatrice said staring at me but she knew I don't, why can't she answer for me?"No

"She left him shattered turning him to the devil he is now, but he found her and will claim what is truly his."***"Stay away from me Ben," Beatrice cracked in a shaky voice as she took her steps back.She never knew the Ben she was once loved had turned into a monster and nothing but a devil."Not again Beatrice, I let go of you the first time which is the dumbest mistake I ever made in my life, but now that I've laid my eyes on you again, you'll never slip out of my hold," He said the deep icy voice that sent shivers all through Beatrice's body.He grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her to himself and without hesitation he smashed his lips on her._______________________________________GET READY!!!❤️GET READY!!!
FIVE AND HALF YEARS LATER,You know when they say opposite sides attract... That's usually true at times.I finished university with Lucas who is now my Lawful husband a year ago. Lucas became the CEO of his father's company while I worked as a scientist in one of the research institutions in America.Everything had been great between us, well, not exactly great because we tend to fight, argue, cry and the rest...No relationship is perfect but still, we had our chances to make things right and togetherGuess what...? I have a 10 months old baby boy whose name is Gavin.Gavin has a striking appearance and resemblance just like his Dad, those green eyes especially which made him look so cute always made me wonder if it's a thing in Liam's family to pass down green eyes to their descendants.Lucas made me leave my job because he wanted me to give our son a
CAMILLA'S POV.***7 months later,Summer break was over and everyone finished high school two months ago.Lucas, I, and Ben were admitted into the university Berkeley in California.Beatrice had traveled to Germany to study in one of the universities there can't remember the name though while Leticia went to London to study at Oxford University.I can't believe this is a dream come true, dreams of getting into one of the prestigious universities in America just too bad my parents weren't around to witness their daughter go to university.I never heard anything from Lillian and I always prayed she was safe wherever she was.Today was our first day of resumption as Lucas refused to let go of me as I sat on him on the bed."Lucas! Let go, we'll be late to school," I grumbled against him.
LUCAS'S POV.I watched Camilla tiptoe on the rink and prepared the precise skating position I told her to keep. We both went out ice skating in one of the popular Ice rinks in America and today was boxing day.My mum had left saying she would return and make things right, I couldn't bring myself to just forgive her yet because of all what I went through as a little boy and the worst thing was that She and Dad had been together for almost a year and he kept it from me all this while.Camilla's feet were at hip distance and her arms were in front of her, then she squatted slightly, just enough to find her balance.Little kids waved at her as they skated around her giggling at her, I still find it amusing when she told she didn't know how to skate.She bent her knees and looked down, probably afraid she wouldn't fall. Her shoulders were forward and she allowed herself to hold
"Merry Christmas!" Beatrice chirped as she walked into the dining room with some pack of gifts in her hands, followed by Leticia."You're here already!" I gasped looking up from where I was busy with some decorations on the Christmas tree as I squatted... Lucas's father decided on having a little Christmas party among his family and friends... So, I invited Beatrice and Leticia to tag along."Yeah!" Beatrice smirked as she looked around the dining... I think she must be impressed with red, green, and white decorations."You two look so beautiful," I complimented acknowledging their straight glittering gown with spaghetti arms and slit from the thigh, Beatrice's gown was a shade blackish-red while Leticia's was blackish blue."Thank you!" The both of them chirped.They looked so elegant.I haven't put on my cloth since I was so busy with decorations because we
Days and weeks rolled by and I was happy that we finally finished this term exam. Christmas was fast approaching and today being so cold, I and Lucas walked into the city with our hands clasped together.Putting on a thick coat with scarfs wrapped around our necks we walked among the crowds.New York is such a lively place to be as we strolled along the High line and down to soho where we had a local meal at Miss Lilly's.We talked and laughed walking hand in hand after leaving Miss Lilly's restaurant.We kept on walking gazing at the malls and shops already decorated in preparation for Christmas.Kids ran in the street happily with balloons in their hands or a stick of sweet."Is your legs weary?" Lucas asked as we strutted the street."Nope!" I smiled wrapping my booth hands around his left arm, clinging to him as he brought his right t
I was in the library trying to look for a new amplified biology textbook... Lucas was sitting at the corner of the library waiting for me.We just had finished two papers not so long and I wanted to get the textbook, so he and I could study together.I was trailing my fingers on the books arranged neatly on the shelves.'Where's this textbook?' I thought annoyingly remembering quite well, I saw it at this particular spot I was searching for."Show yourself!" I muttered squatting to check the books arranged below the shelf."Hahaha! Gotcha!" I smiled at last feeling relieved I'd seen the book I was looking for sinceI heard steps behind and I stood up turning around to see who it was.The textbook in my hands fell as I began shaking visibly... Taking my steps back."Damien!" I muttered, he still had bandages wrapped ar
"Hmmm!" I mumbled incoherently as I turned to the side of the bed and stretched my hand.My hand hit something hard as I patted it lightly before shooting my eyes open to see Lucas staring at me with a bright smile on his face while my hand was on his chest."Good morning sunshine," He greeted Leaning closer to me as he kissed my lips dearly."Good morning" I smiled snuggling closer to him as I pressed my head on his chest.He patted my hair as we both entangled our hands together with the duvet covering our naked bodies.Memories of yesterday came flashing into my head and I couldn't help but grin crazily.That is something I would never forget in my life... I loved every aspect of how he handled my body like I was some sort of Goddess.This wasn't any sex but lovemaking."How do you feel about yesterday?" He asked s
