The first thing I noticed was the lanterns. Yeah. Like the freaking lanterns out of everything.
They were hanging brilliantly, illuminating the square. There was enough light to see at least the near objects but there was also an element of mystery to it. That was enough to make me quiver in fear.
It was as if they were warning me of something that will happen.
"Close your eyes, kitten." Vince said, walking beside me casually with his hands in his pockets. He still gave no clues to our destination.
"Where are we going?" I asked, even though I knew he would definitely not tell me. I gulped. Don't tell me he is going to kidnap me. I'll freak out.
The people that were in the distan
My mind was spinning. What did it mean by finish what we started? Was it...the cake?"Let's eat the cake now." I said, smiling. That must be what he meant right?I haven't eaten the cake yet. It was delightful, a frosted vanilla cake. How did he know I liked vanilla? I thought to myself idly, but a blush rose onto my cheeks."No cake, kitten, no cake," Vince said slowly, pronouncing every word clearly. His brown eyes looked darker than usual as he looked into my eyes and bit his lip. Oh god, why did he have to do this to me? My heart started pounding rapidly.He dragged me to the back of the room until we entered what I assumed was the washroom.I was confused. What was it?
Vince's POV Thump. Thump. Thump. My ears were met by this unpleasant rattling sound which jolted me awake unexpectedly. Where was I? In the unclear darkness, there were no answers. But one thing was certain. It was unfamiliar, and nothing that I'd experienced before. My eyes flickered open. Blinking my eyes, I still couldn't see anything. It was completely pitch-black like I was sucked into a black hole, unable to escape. My arms felt numb, and I could feel the heat against my feet. Let's assume that my hormones were raging and we did it in a closet yesterday. Yeah, that should be it. However, I had absolutely no recollection of this. I put my hands out in front of me, trying to feel my whereabouts. In the complete darkness, my invisible hands felt like jelly. My hand reached to the side and it felt hard, like metal. Nope, doesn't feel like a closet to me. Thump. Thump. Thump. The "closet" was shaking, and I felt as though I was being ca
Amanda's POV After Vince helped me with my alcohol tendencies or rather he didn't, I guess he kinda left because he was nowhere to be seen when I woke up. I was still at someone's house, though I didn't remember how I got here at all. Oh yes, Vince surprised me at school. Then, I remembered taking someone's car and we ended up here. I think it was Matt's house, as it was closest to the school and we needed somewhere to stay over. The bigger part of me was glad I was safe but a small part of me wondered where Vince was. I hopped out of bed quickly, but suddenly I felt dizzy. Oh my. How much did I drink yesterday? I thought to myself, my head feeling extremely heavy. I was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, tho
Amanda's POV I was starting to be really into the kiss as I went even closer to Jerry, closing the distance between us. He was a good kisser, I'd admit and it was long since I actually kissed someone. Maybe three years? I thought of Vince for some reason. Quit it, you're kissing Jerry now. My brain scolded me, but I ignored it. Maybe it would be difficult if Vince and I pursued any kind of relationship beyond a student-tutor one. Suddenly, as I was still collecting my thoughts, the door burst open. This was the worst-case scenario ever. We sprung apart in a flash, looking at anywhere but each other. What bad timing. I always had bad timings with kisses, but now being caught in the middle of a kiss, was horrible. I could feel
I took a deep breath as I unlocked my front door. I wasn't used to feeling this nervous, but this was a hell of a ride. I was beyond exhausted. All I wanted to do was to curl up into a ball and fall asleep right away. It was almost midday, on a Sunday.Looking down at my clothes, I sighed. I was still wearing my old clothes from yesterday, which was a simple blouse and jeans. It looked like it had gone through a gunfight.Please, Liz, do not ask me any questions. I don't have any energy left.However, before I could reach my room, Liz called out."Sweetie, is that you?" Liz called out from the living room. Of course, who else would it be?"Yeah, it's me," I said, rubbing my eye
Amanda's POV "Seriously? How could you still not get it?" Vince said exasperatedly, scowling at me. We were seated on my couch again. I was eyeing the math paper on the table with distaste and suspicion like it was a food I didn't like. "Calm down. Not everyone is as smart as you." I said, half sarcastically. Math was really a pain for me. It was the greatest enemy, and with the looming math test in three days, I have to sort this out. "You're not focusing. I repeat again. The tangent of 90 does not exist." Vince said, his low voice rumbling. He stared at me with his chocolate brown eyes, and for a moment, I felt lost in his eyes. I recovered quickly, but I could feel my face heating up. I wanted to slap myself. "But why?" I
Vince's POVThis is it. The last straw.I'm breaking up with Emma. For real this time.She's been pestering me non-stop over the past two months. It has been an on-and-off affair, like a pesky fly attracted to the light, only to be burnt. It would end badly in the end.I'm not going to get back together with her again, no matter what her deal is this time. In my heart, I know my feelings are with Amanda. No one has ever made me feel that way before.Just being by her side has brought me pure joy. It was an extraordinary feeling to see her excel in her history work after months of struggling. I was glad to have played a role in that, no matter how insignificant it might be.
Amanda's POVIt was Homecoming in a day. I had already texted Jerry my address so that he knew where to pick me up. I was excited for it, as I hadn't been to a school party before.Yet, in the back of my mind, I was still thinking of Vince and his lips that almost brushed mine. No, I should get this thought out of my head. It was Jerry that asked me out, so I should be thinking of him instead.Somehow, I had forgotten to go shopping for the dress despite Layla's insistence on getting a dress with me.We planned it on Saturday, but that day Layla had a dental appointment, so we called it off.Guess I'll have to wear something that I have in my closet, which wasn't much, to be honest,
