Wendy's POV.

Picking up the bouquet, he looked at it with a blank expression before his eyes trailed to look at me. It was at such a time I wished the floor would just open up and gobble me up because I didn't know what to do or what to say.

Going back in time now would be the best, why can't they just create a perfect time-traveling watch, a watch that I can just tap and go back in time?

The two girls that brought the disaster immediately disappeared from sight, the only person still standing with me was May but I'm sure she was feeling dead scared as I was. I don't even know if it was my heartbeat or hers that I was hearing.

With each step he took, my heartbeat accelerated.

"I'm sorry sir, it was a pure accident, I have no intention whatsoever to haul it at you, please pardon me," I said quickly as he stood proudly in front of me, his eyes piercing into mine and it took every ounce of my courage not to drop on the floor and start begging because I had no idea the kind of punishm

    Wendy's POV. "Alright, I think that's good enough but next time, show all your steps. If you make mistakes like this in exams or tests, I will not give you your full mark." Professor George's voice rang in the class.His method of teaching is childish but it's very admirable, not all professors would give the marker to students to solve math questions."Thank you, I'll take that into consideration." Aliyah, the most brilliant and beautiful girl in class, said with a bright smile and I heard May scoffing beside me.Aliyah is the perfect description of beauty with brains and to top it all, she's super-wealthy, she's the heir to her family empire, and OMG! She's fucking arrogant and prideful. I have no business with her though, it's May. I can bet that Aliyah is topping the list of people May despise with everything in her. Aliyah lives like she owns the world and technically, she does, she has it all. I almost had a tiff with her once but I had kindly withdrawn because she's a mad bi

    Some Weeks Later. Wendy's POV."Oh Lord! Wendy, the expedition is the talk of the group, you have to be online!"I looked at the young woman smiling broadly on her phone."You should be packing May, not chatting, this isn't done, Aunt Linda would be here any minute and God help you if you haven't folded those clothes," I warned and for the first time in minutes, she tore her gaze from the phone to look at me, "Just help me, I promise, I'll pay you. Everyone's buzzing about the trip. It's a great trip, Wendy, three departments are going on a trip together for two weeks!" She screeched excitedly and went back to tapping her phone furiously. I let out a sigh and dragged my tired legs to where her clothes were scattered and began to help her fold. Packing for a two-week expedition felt like preparing for a space mission, and the chaos in our room described that perfectly. I have nothing much to pack, it was all May and May, she had turned the room inside out looking for the perfect o

    Wendy's POV. "Wow, isn't this beautiful!" May exclaimed as we stepped out of the hotel we had lodged when we arrived yesterday.We had arrived at the hotel late because of some problems best known to the management. Students were brought to the hotel by different means of transportation, those who were privileged enough took flight upon the announcement of the delay while those who weren't that privileged had to wait for the school mode of transportation. Arriving at the hotel late at midnight didn't give us the privilege to admire the beautiful place, I could bet most sleep after getting into the comfort of their room. "It's truly beautiful May." I agreed with her, the place is truly beautiful no doubt, I had no idea the school could afford such a posh hotel. I was surprised when we got a good room, I was a bit suspicious about everything, the school didn't take a dime from us and they also provided us with everything we needed... I think there's more going on but I really don't c

    Wendy's POV. "Wendy!" May called, shaking me lightly but I didn't reply to her, the fear in me was too much. Thinking about different possibilities of how things can go extremely wrong made fear cloud my heart."Wendy!!" May called, shaking me violently this time and I snapped out of whatever trance I was in."Stop shaking me like that," I said weakly and slapped her hands away from my shoulders, my eyes scanning the little crowd May's shout had gathered.Great. Hope you can see this Professor George, thank you for ruining my first day on the expedition."Are you alright, Wendy?" May asked, her eyes filled with concern and I just sighed before I nodded affirmative slowly. "Then why the hell were you looking like shits? It's just our first day here, you don't have to fret, I know you're nervous but keep it cool, everything will be alright, I promise." May assured me with a smile and I just smiled, "Thank you, May, thank you all," I muttered, summoning courage as I stood up so no on

    Wendy's POV. I let go of my worries and took in a puff of fresh delicious air, "This feels good." I said with a hearty laughter."IT SURE DOES PRINCESS, IT SURE DOES." I heard a deep familiar masculine voice agreeing with me and the hair on my skin stood at attention as they realized the danger present in the garden with usLet him not be the one, let him not be, please... Oh God, please. I prayed hard in my head, hoping for what was practically impossible. Did he hear me?Did he hear everything I said? I couldn't help but ask myself but I quickly dismissed it, there was no way he would hear him, I had mumbled most of the words I said when I entered the garden. "Won't you turn around and see me, princess?" He asked and terror seeped into me, it looks like he was really one but why the fuck was he here? Was he following me around? Had he turned into such a deviant?! Summoning my courage and boldness, I took in a deep puff of fresh air before slowly turning to look at him, and as

    Wendy's POV. "Hey, girl! Where have you been, I've been trying to call you but you weren't picking up, are you alright?" May asked immediately as she saw me heading towards her. To make things easier for me, there's a tracker on May's phone. I installed it because of her habit of not telling anyone where she goes and when she'll be back. It saves me and Aunt Linda lots of stress. "Hey babe, sorry, I got caught up in the scenery. How are you doing?" I asked with a weary smile and she creased her brow. "What happened to your lips?" She asked and her thumb gently caressed my swollen lower lip. I knew I had a swollen lip and May would definitely ask about it so I had cooked up a nice story to tell her, "A fly stung me, maybe a bee, I went to the garden and while admiring the flowers, I got stung." I lied and despite seeing a flicker of doubt in her eyes, she smiled and patted my shoulder,"Sorry darling, you'll be just fine. Come, let's go and makeover, it's almost time for the conf

    Wendy's POV. He took a few strides towards me and soon I was breathing him. Gosh! How can a man smell so good? "Why are you here, Wendy?" He asked the seriousness in his voice snapping me out of the trance I was in. I took a deep breath to stabilize myself before I looked him straight in the eyes, trying hard to focus and not have any other indecent thoughts about him."Mrs. Wood asked me to bring some books to you, she said you had requested for them," I replied, my heart beating so loud that I could hear it.Wait...is that normal?"Books, alright, thank you." He muttered before he took a step away from me.It's a terrible idea to be standing in my hot professor's room, especially when he's half-naked and looking so tempting. "I never knew you could say thank you." I blurted out and I slapped myself inwardly for initiating a conversation.I don't know why I said whatever I had said but it just feels odd to leave him so quickly. I guess I wasn't used to that side of him. "There a

    Wendy's POV. 'I WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE TO DESTROY ALL YOU THINK YOU HAVE BUILT AND I SHALL NEVER GET TIRED' His words kept ringing in my head continuously despite being in a big hall filled with numerous students and some set of men and women giving us lectures about our course but my mind was far off, the only thing keeping me from crying my eyes out right now was this crowded place. May chattered excitedly beside me, ignorant of the storm raging within me. "Wendy, can you believe we're part of this expedition? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"I forced a smile and turned to look at her, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm and I attempted to feign interest. "Yeah, May, it's incredible."The speaker on the stage droned on about the significance of the expedition, but his words were drowned out by Professor George's haunting threat echoing in my mind. I felt a lump forming in my throat as I struggled to maintain composure.How's my new life falling apart because of just one man,

    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.

    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'
