Wendy's POV.

The race down the stairs was fast, tiring, and yet a futile one because I knew there was no way I'd make it to class before him. He's using the fucking elevator, how am I supposed to make it to the fourth floor before him, it was at this time I wish princesses have real princess power, I know I'm dethroned but I can still have my powers, right?

My shoes made a squeaking sound as I ran down, my heart was racing and thudding loudly in my chest, my throat felt dry and my mouth was having this odd taste I can not even explain, sweats covered my body but I had no time to even clean it.

I'm such an empathy case right now.

As I took the last step down, I nearly slipped and due to my battle for stability, I had a sprain in my ankle and despite the discomfort I felt, I could not allow it to penetrate me nor did I allow myself the liberty to feel pain.

People were staring at me as I half ran and leaped towards my department but I didn't care. If I get a bad grade, I'll not be q

    Wendy's POV. "Ouch! Careful May, you wanna damage it further?" I asked May angrily while she was trying to help me apply some of her aunt's medicine to my ankle."I'm sowie baby, I don't intend to hurt you, it looks pretty swollen, we could have gone to the hospital you know." She muttered childishly and began to blow the sprained part; an action I think it's childish but looks cute. May is just everything to me right now. Yeah, she's annoying and acts silly but all we got is each other, just me and her ...oh, plus Aunt Linda, the happiest and most content soul I've ever met. "Stop blowing it, you're only making it worse," I said and when she shot her head to look at me, I rolled my eyes and relaxed my head on the cushion."You're annoying and really crazy." I heard her but I chose to ignore her and she got the message because she went back to doing her job. I might not be a princess again but I had to enjoy the feeling of being spoiled sometimes, it just feels good and I don't th

    Wendy's POV. "Oh, Lord!" I cried as we stepped out of our apartment, my leg was hurting so bad that I just wanna be sedated so I'll go into nothingness."So sorry dear, you'll be fine honey." Aunt Linda soothed me as she helped me down the stairs towards the packed taxi. "May, get your ass down here now!" Aunt Linda shouted harshly for May who was busy putting on some make-up.That silly girl was putting on make-up at such an odd hour when we were supposed to be on our way to the hospital. Aunt Linda helped me into the car and got in the passenger seat in front. May was supposed to be with me at the back but the ridiculous girl was nowhere in sight "I'm sorry ladies, I just had to apply some...""Get in now, you crazy child!" Aunt Linda huffed, cutting May in. May just grumbled and slid into the car with me, as the car began to progress, I got ready for Aunt Linda's wrath. "You silly child...""C'mon Aunt May, I'm here already, you don't have to utter profanity on my entire gene

    Wendy's POV. "Good evening ma'am." He greeted with all modesty looking at Aunt Linda with an extended hand. His scent wafted into my nostril and I chastised myself when I inhaled more of it. What was he making me do? Making me think?! "Hello, good evening, it's good to finally meet the famous professor." Aunt Linda said softly and took his extended hand into hers. "Wow, I don't know what to say." He said with a chuckle before withdrawing his hand. "Hi professor, it's good to meet you... I mean see you." May stammered and I know she's flushed right now. Gawd! When will that girl learn to control herself when it comes to this man? "It's good to see you too..." He paused obviously not getting the name, I doubt if he even knows her name."May... My name is May." May was quick to fill in the missing phrase."Oh, yeah, Miss. May." He said curtly and I heard May giggle. The way he's being all Mr. Nice was provoking me, I know that he's anything but nice. He's such a perfect deviant,

    Wendy's POV. "You're insane! You would only get things worse!" I exclaimed when I recovered from the shock of his statement. I don't care if I say ridiculous things at the moment, the man is planning to cripple me! And there's nothing I can do about it. However, instead of responding to me, he just flouted me and returned his attention to his phone again."A doctor is different from a professor! Doctors and professors are two different professions!! Now kindly drop my leg and let me be." I warned and tried to move but the pain seemed to have numbed me. A low sigh escaped his mouth and he looked at me again,"Stop struggling darling, I can be anything for you so being a doctor isn't an exception. How hard can it be? I would browse the internet and follow the instructions, relax, it won't be that hard." He said in a calm voice that I find unbelievably annoying."Are you kidding me?! You wanna get my leg amputated and you want me to relax?! Is the word silly written on my forehead?" I

    Wendy's POV. The walk to class was one of the most tedious things I've ever done in a long while. In a real sense, I'd prefer to work several shifts than to walk to class. I should have listened to Aunt Linda and taken the wheelchair but I was claiming to be a strong woman."How are you feeling now Wendy, sorry dear." One of my coursemates sympathized with me and I gave him one of my best forced smiles. I don't like the idea of everyone telling me sorry, I hate it when I am in a state of sympathy, all those pitiful stares and sorry from different directions make me mad. I hate to be in a vulnerable state, it's not just me. "You should have listened to Aunt Linda and taken the wheelchair, it would have been faster and much more convenient for you," May muttered and I just scoffed. "And attract the whole world's pity, no thank you, I think I love it like this. It's stressful but I know I'll manage, you can walk ahead, I'll catch up.""Nah, if we're gonna be late to class, we'll be la

    Wendy's POV. I stared at the note in my hand and sighed for the umpteenth time that day, I didn't know why I hadn't trashed the note. "I can't believe you're still going through that short note over and over again, people have sent you a longer love letter and you'll trash it without even reading it, what's so special about this one? It's just so few letters, though I must admit that the chocolate was top-notch, it was delicious." May said and smacked her lips."You don't have to talk so loudly, we're in a cafeteria, May." I reminded her, taking a peek around to see if we attracted unwanted attention but none was gotten."And so, what's their business? You have a secret admirer who sent you sweet chocolates, is that a bad thing?" May asked with a scoff and I rolled my eyes.It's at such a point that I hate May's I-don't-care attitude, she's such a loud mouth. Her attitude has helped us sometimes but most times, it lands us in an embarrassing dangerous situation. I picked up the note

    Wendy's POV. "And where the hell are you wobbling up to go, Wendy?" May asked as she noticed me floundering to stand up.I looked at her and began to weigh telling her and not telling her, "I need to see a lecturer, I ought to tell him something important about the next class." I mused and dropped my phone in my bag before hanging it on my shoulder.May creased her brow in confusion, "What lecturer are you talking about, and how come you didn't tell me about it till now?" She asked, her voice filled with suspicion."I just remembered May, I'll be back sooner than you expected, I'll just drop the notice for him and come back." I lied, praying in my mind that she would buy it."Alright then, I'm following you to be your support, and don't even think of stopping me, I'm coming along whether you like it or not." She declared, stood up, and urged me to move."Wha... What about the food?""Don't worry, John will take care of everything, we can always come back for the food." She assured me

    Wendy's POV. A turn later, the office number and nameplate I was looking for came into view and a sigh of relief escaped my mouth. Finally! Why do they have to place his office so far, there were like seven empty offices before I met his own.It looks like he loves his privacy or.... Or there's another reason why he would choose such a lonely place for himself. I immediately shook the thought off and tried to focus on the reason why I was here, I am here for myself and my future... Nothing else, yeah nothing else. My heartbeat increased rapidly as I neared his door, the strange aural surrounding the place was insane and it was getting to me. Keep it cool Wendy... Keep it cool! I cautioned myself before taking in a huge puff and tapped on the door once but no response so I had to tap twice then thrice. Is he not in? I question myself and frustration makes its way up my spine and slams me hard. Is that man playing games with me again?! That anomalous idiot! How could he? Doesn

    Wendy's POV. (Few days later.)"Thank goodness that good for nothing asshole got expelled, he deserves it." Aliyah said as we headed out of the class and Anna laughed. The news of Aaron suddenly getting expelled had baffled many and no one knows what he did or why he got expelled but I knew who was behind it. Professor George, I can't believe he'll do so much for me, I'm kinda regretting jilting him at the altar and I feel so much for him now... Maybe love. "I don't know what he did but he definitely deserves it, such a punk." Anna said and we all laughed. I want to see the professor but that would be hard with my friends around. They'll follow me anywhere I go but I have to look for a way. "Wendy, you don't look happy, ain't you happy he got expelled?" Ann asked and I smiled. How do I tell them that I'm the happiest?"Of course, I'm happy," I replied, trying to keep my tone light. "Just relieved it's all over."As we walked, my mind raced with thoughts of George. The way he had

    Wendy's POV. My heart was beating fast and furious as I stared at the school building, I looked at the text message in my phone and tears threatened to fall from my eyes. Could he be so cruel, would he do something like that? Aaron has nothing to loose, he would do what he had threatened and I think my life was literally over. Once that picture surfaced in school, I'm a goner... The picture might spread through the internet and my family would definitely see it, the new life I had been trying to protect would be destroyed if Aaron went ahead with his plan. I don't know what made him think that I would want him back after everything he had done to me. I don't even know who informed him of my newest location! I walked through the corridor slowly, the school was empty except for early comers like me... I wouldn't have come early today had Aaron not send me a message, telling me that he had uploaded the images in the school site. I'm ruined. "Hey Wendy." A guy greeted and I just nodd

    George's POVWendy has finally turned me into the monster I didn't want to be. It's been a week yet, I cannot get my mind off the fact that her body is the medicine I needed to cure every sickness I was facing. Every time I see her, every time I watch her walk, and talk with her friends, it only makes me more confused as to why I hadn't made her mine just yet. Deep down, I know the reason but I was beyond reasoning when it comes to that girl. She was a distraction I don't mind getting distracted by but how do I go about it? What do I do with her? I don't know what to do with my feelings for her. Should I go for it or should I let her go? The mission I had come to the school for was the most pressing thing on my mind right now. It just has to be. With all these thoughts in my head, my shoes clicked against the tiled floor as I continued to make my way to the school's control room. This was one of the chances I could get as everyone was still home and it was still too early for anybo

    Wendy's POV. I stepped out of the taxi, feeling a mix of happiness and nervousness. Last night was incredible... Super hot and spicy...but now I was sore and my legs felt like jelly. Still, it had definitely been worth it.A knot of worry twisted in my stomach. He hadn't used protection again. He seemed to dislike it more and more, preferring the raw feel of us. I enjoyed it too but it made me anxious. I took precautions, but nothing was ever 100% effective.I walked slowly toward school, my mind reeling with thoughts. I'd spent the night at his place since Aunt Linda was away on a business trip and May hadn't stayed home. She never did unless Aunt Linda was around.Checking the time, I saw there was still over an hour before my next class. I decided to head to my usual quiet spot. It was a place few students visited, and the natural scent there always calmed me.My phone buzzed, and I glanced at the screen to see a message from Aliyah: *"You okay? Where are you?"* I quickly replied

    George's POV. "I've missed you, so much babe..." Wendy mumbled as we walked into the bedroom.She had just come in and I am holding myself… trying not to jump on her immediately she came into my house. I smiled and drew her closer to me, my heart beating fast and furious but I tried to keep my cool. The urge to just carry her, strip her and fuck her was driving me insane but I kept my hunger for her in... Just a little more time and I would have her, I've been patient for almost two weeks, I can remain patient. "You have no idea how much I've missed you too princess and not been able to talk to you whenever I want was just another form of torture, I think you should consider moving in with me, I don't mind." I suggested and she just chuckled before dropping on the bed. "You know I can't move in with you, that's really dangerous." "Um, how about I rent an apartment for you huh? I can see you whenever I want, how does that sound?" I asked despite knowing the answer."Thank you but

    Wendy's POV. Few weeks later. "May! What the fuck is wrong with you?" I demanded, grabbing her wrist as we left the classroom. The anger and frustration boiled over, my need for answers consuming me whole because I've been too patient for long. She yanked her hand away from my hold, glaring at me with eyes full of resentment. "Stop being childish, Wendy! I told you, I need space from you. Is that too much to ask for?" Her voice was sharp, cutting through the air. I sighed heavily, glancing around at the small crowd that had gathered to watch our confrontation. My head spun with the weight of their stares and the pressure of the situation. May had become so unbearable over the past few weeks, and this seemed like my only chance to get through to her. She avoids me at home and acts like I don't even exist whenever she sees me. "Please, May, what's wrong?" I pleaded, desperation creeping into my voice. "I need to know what I did so I can make amends. You're like a sister to me. Tell

    Wendy's POV. "You... Uncluttered swine. How dare you!" I huffed, looking at the man in front of me with nothing but disdain, he dares to say shit in front of me?!"What the fuck has gotten into you any way?!" I snapped, my voice laced with frustration and disgust. How could he have the audacity to pull a stunt like this?"What the hell is wrong with you Mr. Aaron?" I heard a deep masculine voice seethed and I turned to see Stan heading towards us; Tess, Anna and Aliyah were right behind him. I swallowed, thinking of a way to avoid the trouble that was clouding, "Are you alright Wendy?" Stan asked with a concerned look and I just forced a smile, thinking of different ways to stop the disaster waiting to happen."And who are you?" Aaron's voice penetrated into the air and I turned around to look at him with some kind of pure disdain."Look who's talking.... You know I saw you putting those cheap petals there, I never knew it was for Wendy, had I known, I would have had you arrested fo

    Wendy's POV. As the taxi rolled closer to the school, a surge of frustration twisted in my gut, the bitter taste of resentment flooding my senses. "Why does it have to be like this?" I muttered to myself, feeling the weight of every bitter memory pressing down on me.The taxi driver sometimes peeped at me through the rear mirror and I understand, he might probably be worried that he had picked up a psycho because of the way I had been muttering in his taxi. "My life is like a bad soap opera," I grumbled, clenching my fists as I stared out the window. "I'm just tired of it all, you know?" My life is the worst!Right now, I hate it, I mean I hate my life!A life where I have to see Aaron everyday and be reminded of how I had destroyed my life because of some love.I never thought I would not be looking forward to going to school, attending lectures... Everything at school annoys me now. All I wanted to do was stop going to school. I wanted to stay at home and have some peace of mind.

    Wendy's POV. As the class ended, I bolted out of the room like a bat out of hell, my mind spinning in different possibilities of how things can go awfully wrong."What the hell?!" I muttered, barely able to comprehend the situation. "How? What was he doing here and... Good Lord!" I pleaded internally, feeling utterly overwhelmed. "Please help me, I beg you. I can't handle this shit right now. How the fuck do I cope with this?""Wendy!" A voice called out, but I refused to acknowledge it. All I wanted was to find a quiet corner to think about the latest messy development in my life. I need to think and I have to think of solutions too. He had the audacity to show his face after what he'd done. The nerve of him to spew garbage at me. He should have had the decency to stay far away from me, to hide in shame. But no, he dared to confront me! I don't get it, what was he doing here anyway?! Fuck him and everything he stands for."Wendy!" The voice persisted, joined by others, but I didn'
