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. "What the hell did you take me for?" I shrieked angrily and stood up to face him, my eyes burning intensely into his."Woah, calm down honey, don't get me wrong." He said with a chuckle as he raised his hands in an Innocent surrender. I scrunched my brow as I stared at him with every venom of revulsion... How can a man be so annoying? "What do you mean then? Has strip suddenly become another language of modesty?" I puffed, fist clenched and chest heaving badly."You're getting infuriated over nothing darling, you told me you'll do anything to get your good grade back. I'm a man with needs darling, I just told you what I wanted." He said casually and crossed his arms around his chest."Good Lord!" I exclaimed in awe, "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I asked angrily, trying hard not to haul one of the big books on his desk at him."Nothing, there's nothing wrong with me, you are the one with the problem, you have a big problem and the fact that you're unwilling to ac

    Wendy's POV. "Wendy! Where the hell were you, I was dead worried." May let out a screech immediately she sighted me and I sighed, there goes another round of lying. "I'm sorry May, something came up, I just had to...""Just hush... Come... There's a huge surprise waiting for you." She hushed me and took my hand to help me walk.I was baffled by her. What happened that made May so happy that she could forget her anger and the fact that I lied to her about not submitting the project? We entered the hall and she immediately took the nearest seat after helping me sit, "What's going on, May?" I asked when I saw the excitement in her eyes.What could be making her so excited? May's hardly the type to get so enthusiastic, whatever is behind that happiness must be something huge. "Let me in already, you're getting me really hyped up," I muttered and her grin widened."You know you're the luckiest girl ever right?" She asked and I scoffed.Lucky?How can she say I'm lucky, I consider mysel

    Wendy's POV. "Your order ma'am," I said, placing a cup of latte and some packed nuggets for a female customer."Thank you, darling." She muttered without even looking at me. I sighed and headed toward the staff room. I was tired, beyond fatigued but I still had so much to do. Once I'm done with my evening shift, I'll have to go home and read, only God knows why the professor would choose to be a devil."Girl, any more order?" Kira asked immediately she sighted me and she dropped on the seat the instant I shook my head negatively."I'm so tired right now, I just wanna go home and have a long sleep, I'm tired, the job is becoming too demanding and the boss isn't thinking of increasing the salary, it's insane how he can be making so much money in a day and still don't consider increasing our salary," Kira whined and I just chuckled.There are other employees there and Kira knew that some of them are the boss's fuck girls and they can easily take her words to the boss but she just doesn

    Wendy's POV. "That asshole!" I cussed angrily and pushed the hefty book award from me. I've been trying to solve a particular calculus problem and the more I try, the harder it gets from me. Why does he have to be my mathematics professor?! "Chill girl, you're burning up," May said and I grumbled before turning to her. She was lying on the bed, tapping her phone and smiling... She's living her life and having fun but here I am, trying to solve a mathematical problem that doesn't seem to have a solution.Oh, Lord! My life's ruined for real!!"Don't tell me to chill, I've been up all night while you were snoring and mumbling incoherent words all night, don't even start with me!" I huffed and palmed my face, my head was throbbing in pain and it was all because of math."C'mon girl, don't be so hard on me, I tried to help you but you should know that I'm terrible at math, you're way better than me. I'm sorry." She said softly and I just looked at her wearily. "I'm sorry, I'm just fat

    Wendy's POV. "Oh, Lord!" I let out a shocked exclamation as I stared at the mail that just popped up on my tablet. "What's wrong?" May asked, shifting closer to me and I showed her the mail. "Oh well, the professor was definitely angered by your absence." She said with a chuckle and I gave her a deathly glare. "Just shut up," I muttered angrily, stabbing the toasted bread with the fork in my hand as I stared at the mail. The man sure has a death sentence for me cause how the fuck was I supposed to solve seventy questions before the next class, am I some sort of machine? These aren't just simple calculations, they're... Oh, fuck it! I really hate him. "He's a jerk!" I cussed and I saw May nodding affirmatively. "He's definitely one, I am pretending to love math because of him, if he's gonna be giving such assignments, I do not want anything to do with him." She agreed and stuffed some cabbage in her mouth."It's too much, this is fucking too much." I rant, almost at the edge of

    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'
