Rachel’s POV He turned his face away and cleaned his eyes. He looked so pitiful.I didn’t even know what to say at first.David, it’s fine; I am fine now; why are you this way?” I answered. He looked so different and shattered; what must have happened to him?He looked at me, placed my hand on my cheek, rubbed it gently, and smiled a little. His eyes were red.“So have you forgiven me for the pain I caused you?” He asked, and his palm still caressed my face softly.Why is he always talking about the pain he has caused me? That was far, far gone, even if I still feel the pain a little.“Yes, I have forgiven you; you shouldn’t have turned yourself this way.” I replied. I just had to tell him that, maybe to lighten up his mood.“Thank you; you don’t know how happy I am now.” He dragged me into a hug, and he hugged me tightly. My head was on his chest, and he rubbed my hair. “Thank you so much, Rachel.” He said it and kissed my hair before he pulled out the hug.“I’ll leave you to go to
Rachel’s POV David and Laura have broken up. Why?“Oh, you didn’t know they weren’t together anymore? What a pity.” She laughed. “How did they break up?” I asked.“Are you going to believe them right now, Rachel?” Mary asked, and she looked at me in disbelief.Obviously, I should believe it because the way David has been behaving lately is out of the ordinary, and I also had this strange feeling that that might be the reason for his attitude.“I think I should believe, Mary." I turned to her and answered, I haven’t told her everything that happened to David. “Go and ask the guy you snatched from Laura; maybe he will tell you why they broke up.” One of those girls struck.“Let’s go, girls.” She added, and they walked out.Why would David hide it from me? At least he would have told Scott.“Are you really going to believe those girls? Do you think Laura will ever want to break up with David?” Mary was questioned. One thing about Mary is that she never believes until she sees evidence
Rachel’s POV “David?” I muttered and looked closely. It was Jack. Am I alright? Why would I ever mistake Jack for David? Fuckk!! How did I forget that David asked me to go out with him today? How did it slip my mind?“It’s not David, dummy, it’s Jack.” Jack laughed. Sorry, Jack, that was a slip of the tongue.” I laughed softly.“Are you sure you are okay, Rachel?” Scott asked and held my hand. The fact that I don’t even know if I am fine amazes me.Yes, I am alright.” I formed a smile, and he nodded. I’m sure by now David must have found out I am not at home, and maybe he might be annoyed.I was also a little worried that Scott might get angry at the way I acted, so I had to switch up my mood quickly.“So what are you doing here?” I asked Jack.“I was just heading out now; I do come here sometimes.” He answered, and I nodded continuously as he talked.“I will leave you guys; I will catch up with you tomorrow.” He said this and fisted my arm softly.Alright, see you,” I replied, and
David’s POV Immediately, I noticed Rachel was back from school. I wanted to meet her. But I don’t want her to feel like I am stressing her out, so I’ll leave it till the evening because I told her we would go out today.I felt some kind of peace and comfort since Laura and I broke up, and I also realized this morning that I had feelings for Rachel. feelings I never saw coming; these feelings were much more superior than the ones I had for Laura.But what bothers me is if she genuinely has mutual feelings. I doubt if Rachel feels the same way; probably she wouldn't, but I’ll just have to try to win her back.It was close to 7 p.m. I should tell her to get ready for the outing; we would be heading out by 8 p.m.I walked out of my room and moved to her room; her door was slightly opened, and I noticed Scott was with her.From the way they sounded, Scott also had plans to take her out, and she agreed to join him.And the way they spoke Scott actually likes Rachel, and I feel Rachel likes
Rachel’s POV As he said that,I was quite shocked and surprised. I wasn’t expecting to hear that, and I didn’t even know what to say either. I didn’t see it coming.“I know you weren’t expecting to hear this, but I couldn’t stop myself from letting you know.” He uttered it and kept giving me those stares.“I don’t even know what to say...." I stuttered. “Look, Rachel I would give you plenty of time to think about it; whatever your answer may be, I am sure it was for the best.” He said it and smiled softly.“I’ll think about it.” I just said that I really didn’t even want to think about it; I don’t want him back as my mate, but the words to tell him that were scarce.We got home after lunch, and I was about to get into my room when David held my hand.“Rachel, I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable around me. Whatever your reply, I’ll take it. If it’s for me to do whatever it takes to win you back, I’ll gladly risk it.” He uttered. I felt goosebumps all over my body. I began to have
Rachel’s POV “Good evening, Luna." I greeted her and bowed. If Luna eventually finds out that David wants me back as his mate and I refuse, it might bring enmity between us, and I don’t want that to happen.“How are you, Rachel?” She asked and formed a smile. With the smile she wore, I confirmed that she didn’t hear what David and I were talking about.“I am very well; thank you.” I answered and smiled back at her.“Is David in?” She asked and pointed to his door.Yes, he is.” She walked in, and I left for my room.I felt relieved as I told David my answer. I went back to my room, and not too long after, the day was finally over.It was another morning, and we were all at school. The principal gathered us together to inform us about our prom, which will be in three weeks. I can’t believe how time flies so quickly.Some months ago, it felt quite far, but now it’s just three weeks, and we are done with high school.Rachel: At some point I wanted high school to pass quickly, but now it’
Rachel’s POV “Scott.” I called his name as I pulled away from the kiss quickly. I noticed David turned to look at him too, and we stood up and walked to him.“Sorry for interrupting; I didn’t know you guys were here.” He smiled a little, and he was looking in just my direction.“It’s not what you think.” I uttered it without realizing what I just said, and David looked at me immediately as he furrowed his brows.“What do you mean by that?” Scott laughed a little.“I didn’t mean it the way you think; I just don’t know what to say.” I kept a very concerned look on my face. David just stood there staring at me, but I didn’t even look in his direction.I didn’t want Scott to get hurt; he confessed his feelings for me, and I also made it clear that I don’t like David, but now that he saw me kissing him, he might take that for a lie.“Do you like Scott?” David's question; his attention had just been focused on me since I uttered those words.Scott laughed. “What are you saying?” He asked.
David’s POV The moment she kissed me, I was shocked because I wasn’t expecting her to do so. My eyes were closed as I kissed her passionately. Immediately she pulled out and called Scott’s name, looking at the directions behind me.I turned immediately and saw Scott. We stood up and walked to him. We tried to talk things out, but Rachel didn’t want to talk about it, so she left.“If Rachel really likes you, I won’t be so upset because I know she is in good hands, but I really love Rachel now, and I want us to walk things out and settle all our differences.” I said this to him as Rachel left.I really want to win her heart, and I will feel sad if I don’t and blame myself for the rest of my life.“I understand.” Scott nodded, and I tapped his shoulder and left.The reason why I am a bit worried is because Scott has never dated a girl, and this is actually the first girl he has ever liked.I went back to my room, laid on my bed, and faced my ceiling, my hands supporting my head as a pil
