23.1 ARCHER
August 25, 2016
"Would you like to get the strawberry-flavored one as well?" Sierra asked me out of the blue, which made my brow furrow. But I noticed that her focus was no longer on the birds in front of us, and when I followed her eyes, I found an ice cream stand with a few lines. After a moment, she returned my gaze, as if she was waiting for my response.
My lips twitched in trepidation as I returned my gaze to the ice cream stall. I'm not a fan of any kind of berry, but I also don't want to turn down Sierra's request. Sierra appears to be a fan of strawberries since every time the two of us go out, if she sees a strawberry or any meal with its flavor, she will buy it straight away. Even though she has never compelled me to eat what she likes, I have the impression that today is different. She asks me purposefully if I want strawberry ice cream, and I believ

I smiled, but as she tried to leave, I hugged her and leaned her on the shelf behind her, completely trapping her with my hands that were still wrapped around her waist."Archer!" She half-whispered and half-yelled at me, but I merely chuckled as my head lay on the side of her neck; she slapped my arms, but I never let go of her."I'll let you go only if you let me buy you that book." I compromised. She slapped my back, but when I sucked her earlobe, she moaned and buried her nails into my shoulders. I licked her neck, which increased her desire to get away from me, because she may have become hesitant after feeling the arousal of it."A-Archer, not here…" When she begged me to stop, her voice lowered and became more airy."Then, let me buy you that book," I whisp

September 04, 2016Sierra and I had a misunderstanding a few days ago, but I guess we're okay now because she approached me as if nothing had occurred, and we never talked about it again. When I tried to apologize to Sierra, she just nodded and changed the subject, so I didn't bring it up again and just let it go because I thought she didn't want to talk about it anymore. But I know she still feels bad about what I did, and even though I want to make it up to her, I just can't right now.I'm not ready to introduce her to my family yet, and I'm not sure if I ever will be. I'm sure I've told myself a million times that I'll do anything for Sierra, even if it means putting myself in jeopardy because of my father's decisions. But now that I think about it, I know that it's easy to say those things but it's difficult to make them a reality. I understand Sierra's des

I'm nervous right now for an unknown reason, perhaps because today is different. I've already met Sierra's aunt, but now is the first time I'll formally introduce myself to her. I try to avoid Jade whenever I visit their bakery, and she does the same too. I wasn't doing it because I disliked her, but because I could sense her facial expression of obvious disapproval of me being Sierra's boyfriend anytime she saw me in their bakery.I remembered Jade asking me if I was certain about my love for Sierra. I told her with an honest "yes," but her eyes remained skeptical. I understand her hesitation because she's thinking about my family background and is concerned that my parents will disgrace them or order them to stay away from me. But I lied to her and told her that my parents were supportive of Sierra and me; perhaps Jade didn't tell Sierra about this, which is why Sierra was upset to learn that my parents

September 16, 2021After speaking with me that day, the cops let me leave. They didn't charge me with Kinsey's death because there wasn't enough proof. After a few days, I gave up hunting for Sierra and probably lost hope of ever finding her again. Even though I felt it was too late, I only recently understood that Kinsey was correct—I shouldn't be wasting time on someone who has been silent for a long time. Sierra isn't dead, but that's exactly what she wants to happen in her name, so I will now give her what she wants.It has been six days since I stopped opening my gadgets and updating my podcast and other social media accounts. In an attempt to unload all of the luggage I was carrying, I cleaned the entire house and polished every part of it to erase the dirt from everything I dragged here. I let Bryon blame me for what happened to Kinsey. I didn't sa

September 22, 2016 I waited almost two weeks before reporting Robert's illegal activities to the police because I didn't want Sierra to know who reported it if I did it the same day I went to their house. I didn't introduce myself to the cops; instead, I dialed their number from a payphone. I told the cops that Robert was using drugs and abusing the women who were with him at home, and then I gave them the address of Sierra's house. The cops went to Sierra's residence late at night so Robert wouldn't notice that the police already knew what he's up to. I also went there secretly and watched from a distance, right when the police arrived; Robert was hurting Jade, which confirmed my report, many drugs were confiscated in their house, people got upset outside and couldn't believe Robert could do that because they thought this man was decent and kind

People in our school were continually staring at her whenever we came in together; she was no longer looked at for her beauty, but for what had happened in her life. She was bullied even more, but I defended her once as a reason for them to stop. The professors felt sorry for her and became even more protective of her; they adored her for being intelligent, sweet, and kind, so they were on her side. They made sure that no one will hurt or bully Sierra in the school anymore, if someone is caught doing so will get severely punished by the principal.When she abruptly came to a stop halfway through her classroom door, I nearly tripped on my own feet. "What? Did you leave something in the car? I'll go back for it." I said.Her visage was once again expressionless. Before she spoke, she sighed, "I'd like you to stop picking me up and driving me home from school. I w

When it was time for lunch, I went straight to Sierra's classroom to give her a snack. She thanked me and didn't say anything else; she was with Maevis and a couple of her friends were also finishing their work in the classroom, so I felt quite secure because she was telling the truth and she wasn't alone with the weirdo Maevis. I then went straight to the cafeteria to eat because I hadn't eaten breakfast and my stomach was growling.As soon as I came inside, I was struck by the unusual presence of people. I even overheard them talking about Sierra yelling at me earlier, and when they noticed me, they immediately stopped talking and avoided looking at me. While others, such as Dionne, continued to mock me. Instead of leaving, I kept walking toward the counter, as if they were all invisible to me."Gosh, I couldn't believe Archer would lower himself to the level

I almost went to pick up Sierra from their classroom to take her home after class, but I realized she didn't want me to do that anymore. So I left the school without looking back at her room. I was about to get into my car when I stopped in my trance when I saw her walking home with Maevis. I wanted to stop her, but I didn't want her to become even more enraged with me, so I let her go with that crazy head."Hey, Archer, are you on your way home yet?" I flinched and took a quick glance at the person speaking next to me. It's Ever."Um, yeah." I offered him a tiny smile. He shrugged, and I could see in his eyes that he was attempting to say something, so I waited while watching the students run and stroll out of the school."Is it okay if I talk to you about something? Only if you have a second and if you're fine wit
