The Bad Boy's Lottery SEVENTY ONE
LUCANThis would be the first time I witnessed Nora’s anger. She must have thought I went my own way as soon as we departed but I was right there behind her, like I have always been even from the very first day she stepped into this school. I made sure to put enough distance between us as I carefully followed her into the store room. And since she was going there to let out some rage, I decided it’s better I don’t capture this. So I lowered my camera, and watched her from a distance- but close enough to hear them. “Okay, what’s going on here?” Nora disrupted their moments and by them, I mean jordan and Cassidy.Even though Nora was angry, she tried not to show it and held herself high. Those qualities are nothing but graceful to my eyes. And if not that I have my eyes on Cassidy already, I would downright let myself fall head over heels for Nora. “What do you mean what’s going on here? Your eyes are tinted or what?” Cassidy scoffed and worked on her manicured nails, while raising

NORAThe next week was hell in our abode.One thing was bribing Liam not let his mouth slip, another thing was him logically robbing me of my allowance even though he has more than enough. All in one, I dare not leave him home with my parents. ‘’Shouldn’t this past days be in the history? I’m amazed.’’ Liam teased from across his office desk, flipping through the solid evidence in his hands. I won’t lie, I feel uncertain and at the same time curious of how those daily pictures of my here and there at school somehow happens to land in his hand.‘’You were never this scary.’’ I peered up at him from the tip of my glasses, before slamming shut the pretendiousmagazine in my my hand, and bolting up my feet. Anyone can see I was done with the pretense. ‘’You made me this way.’’ He replied, quicklyputting thephotos back in its wrapper and slidding it into his drawer. He made sure to safe keep them before I could reach him.‘’No, I didn’t. There is nothing going on between me and Jordan,

JORDANI cracked.“It’s crystal clear you’re out of your mind.” I swallowed the bitterness at the back of my throat, the words piercing through my insides. His utterance caught me unaware. Of everything I was expecting to tumble out of Nathan’s mouth, it had to be this. Now I can’t be so sure he’s not drunk. He can’t be somber and attack me straightforwardly. “Why do you seem so surprised?” He nudged at my conscience and all I did was snap him a warning look. “The fact you say whatever comes out of your mouth without the slightest review does nothing than amaze me. Stop speaking nonsense.” I said. I crossed my hands in hope he takes the bait. And at least shut up. “Really?” He dropped his hands from my shoulder and asked for confirmation. I nodded stiffly not meeting his eyes. “Then explain this. An assignment surely doesn’t involve hanky-panky.” He lifted up some rough bedsheet out of nowhere and narrowed his eyebrow. I tensed, my mouth pressed in a thin line. “Isn’t it high t

NORAHe stilled, his eyes drilling into mine with an expression I couldn’t pin point over his face as he snapped my panties back up. “Scared?” I masked my face with seriousness even though I want to laugh so badly. He didn’t respond, instead slowly straightened up. Besides, before he could leave, I held him back nudged him back between my thighs. “I was kidding. You look scared.” I said, my hands on my chest to cover my nakedness, the intensity of his gaze was becoming too much to bear. Why’s he looking at me like that? Like I just toyed with him?“Scared? No. If anything, I don’t believe you.” He said, unmoving from above me.He’s taking precautions, like am some ticking bomb, that could explode at any given moment. Happens I couldn’t get enough of him so I came over, without Liam’s knowledge of course. And we were just about to kick start when I decided to mess with him, telling me I was on my period. He was so alarmed it surprised me, now he still thinks am lying. “You have to

JASPERI shuffled my hand through the cold congealed lasagna.Fully used to it and ones far more worse than this, I ought to have finished it but not when my mind was going through a tough time of indecision.“Hand it over in case you’re too emotionally down to eat. I shall finish it up for you, the pleasure is mine.” My eyes tore across the cell, and there he was, flashing his blackened tooth at me. Archer is a bastard. He toys with me without fail even though he knew I was always fully ready to beat him to stupor like every other time. “Learn to mind your business. Or your face could use a punch.” I tightened my grasp on the plate in my hand, and he smirked before turning away from me. I’m goddamn tired of being in here, with this animalistic forsaken fools who form of a human. Hell, I would have regained my freedom last six months if Jordan hadn’t cursed trouble. I really don’t have him to blame, had he been aborted way back when it wasn’t too late, I wouldn’t have to deal with

NORA“Of course, I’m so happy to see him.” I gave the best of my fake smiles.I love Liam so much but he’s driving me crazy trying to play the match maker. I expected it all on a Saturday morning but never Liam inviting Theodore over, intentionally. He’s the devil sent after me at this point. I knew already it he knows about his best friend’s feelings for me but I trust Theodore on not telling Liam he has asked me out already. No, let me rephrase it, he’s been asking me out. I gnashed my teeth as I imagined what tantrum Liam will throw when he finally knows. “You must.” He nodded and I laughed alongside, even though it was the slightest bit funny, I had to cooperate. I held the door open even more wider as Theodore came in, one of our staff walking past to drop his little luggage in the guest room. According to Liam, Theodore would be spending the weekend here, due to a reason best known to him, that he wasn’t ready to reveal. Yet. “Hi, Theo.” I did what I had to do. I hugged h
The Bad Boy's Lottery SEVENTY SEVEN
NORAI walked to and fro school each day with my head hung low. Even weeks after Liam attacked me, I still wasn’t able to shake off the guilt. He was right on point and I should have knew Theodore would confess to him at some point, nevertheless, I’m not blaming in, if anything, he did the best for himself by not bottling it up. Like Liam told me to think through my senses, I couldn’t help it and ended up not sleeping throughout the whole of that night. And even with all those thought, I still kept on going to Liam’s house. Though not constantly but few times. He’s the only person who has the ability to tame me emotionally and also together with my health like. I made sure to avoid him at school with every ability and then I go to his house, on few times with low chances of Sawyer been home. Liam made enough sense with his statement and how most of the family’s reputation lays on my shoulders and how I had better not destroy it but I’m still finding a possible way I can go for hi

NORABy the time Cassidy and I walked out of the nurse’s office, it was lunch time already.I tried my best to avoid her this morning, I should have known she can never leave without a fight. She fought me and I striked back, I had a good time painting her face with some parts of my frustrations. There was already enough on my plate. She always wants to add more. “Be ready to pay for this.” She half yelled, pushing back so my bank thudded against the wall behind me. “And you are the one who won’t pay for what you did? Come on, your face looked like it could use some punch, it adds to your beauty.” Smears of smirk gathered their way over my face as I took in the lord of bruises on her face. She gave me pretty ones also, but I made sure I made more strikes than her.I nudged her backward, and pushed myself off the wall. “Stay far away from me.” I laid emphasis on all five of my words before sauntering off, leaving her on stand, to feed on her own anger.I hope this doesn’t get to m

The Bad Boy's Lottery EPILOGUE
Third Person’s Pov{Seven Years Later}“Do you know who my mother is?” Sky blue-eyed golden curls, Caily leapt on her feet, screeching.“No, you! Do you know who my father is?!” Aged five deep brown-eyed Nico with a mass of tousled dark curls boomed across the field, running unscathed to shelter the door. “Do you know who my daughter is?” Spencer challenged the two kids, stepping out of his car to squint his eyes at them, taking their sights in. Their resemblance was what alarmed him first. Nora had informed him at the jail five years ago she gave birth to a baby boy and four years ago too, that she’s already pregnant with a baby girl just a month after giving birth. It was risky but he remembered giving her his blessings. These can’t be his daughters bearing. They look too handsome and pretty for a child— the girl taking after her mother and the eldest, the boy taking after the father. “Who’s your daughter here, sir?” Caily’s pouty face turned serious. “We happen to know our pa

NORA {College, Three Years Later} Stony Brook University. Just the asignsment alone drives me crazy. I don’t have a choice. I became pretty much popular after my father’s scandal three years ago and luckily, people didn’t treat me bad because of that. Instead, they placed burdens on my shoulders. No events comes without me been among its planners, and you don’t speak of the teachers’ favorite without including me. I never thought I was going to experience such privilege in my life, even though it was so exhausting. Somehow, I have managed through three of my years here, left with just one year and I will be free. The fact that mostly half of the school would miss me not enough to encourage me to fail my last exam, and lag behind just to continue staying with them. “How are you able to read and write in such a noisy atmosphere as this?” When my roommate, Alice, came in, that was the first thing she asked me. “The fear of failure kept me going. Then again…” I hit my pe

JORDANAfter the night spent with Nora two days ago, I told her we should schedule our next meeting for when I have spoken with my mother. I want to introduce them to each other. I want my mother to see the girl that captured my heart. My mother and her boyfriend are somewhere around New York, and ever since she told me of their address, I never had the chance to visit them. Until now. The taste of calling him my mother’s boyfriend remained bitter on my lips. They better get married, being her husband would make far more better meaning. “You didn’t tell me beforehand you’re coming.” Was the first thing my mother said when she saw me at her doorstep. It’s a rented apartment meanwhile she gave me an owned bigger one, bought in my name. Where would I have been by now? At my friends’. Embarrassing. “You want me to go back?” I carefully asked before stepping insude. She shook her head and let me in. She walked me around the house and the only impressive thing about it was the big

NORA‘He’s leaving the country.’ Early in the next morning after I barely managed to sleep, the text woke me up. I don’t step out of the house without taking my bath but it was so tempting to do it for the first time. What stopped me was the bad smell drifting from me that would discourage Jordan even if he eventually decide to take me back. I took my bath but it was snappy, the shortest I have ever spent inside the bathroom. I didn’t get to make choices from my closet. I opted for the first one my hand reached. I knew first impression was everything but this wasn’t the first time Jordan would see me and then, I still remember him telling me how beautiful I look even without trying. “Where to?” It caught me by surprise that Liam was at home then it dawned on me it's Saturday. I wanted to turn around and just go back to my room but it's more scary not trying.“Jordan’s.” I responded. I waited for him to stop me from moving or even go as far as locking the door. I won't put it p

NORAA Month LaterI haven’t even applied to any college. It’s been a month of me constantly locking myself in my room, each time I go out only happening because I need to take my meals. My life has been upside down. A month of heavy changes in our family— my father no longer being the prime minister, my mother still forming enmity with us and her children. And above all, Jordan still not wanting to see me. Or should I say I don’t even know his whereabouts? Theodore kept checking up on me, not understanding I don’t want him here, not anywhere close to me. I don’t want to see anybody. I have tried chasing him off but he won’t leave. I know it’s Liam’s handiwork, thinking Theodore can get me to leave the walls of my room. He's a good guy though. He's not considering my behavior though I am trying to change towards him. If I don't want to remain a loner.Over the month, I went to the jail to check on my father and unlike what I expected of him, he didn’t chase me away. I told him o

LUCAN“No, you’re staying here with us.”I’m instantly on edge, tensed beneath my parents probing gaze. My decision to corner them before leaving for work, failing woefully. “I have nothing doing here.” I again try to persuade. “No, you have school here. Your resumption is barely two weeks away.” My father interjected this time, again turning the dice on me. Cassidy’s burial was just yesterday, and I am already fed up staying at New York. Everything reminds me of her, her memories too disturbing for me to live with.I don’t even get myself. If I ever want to, I need to vacate to another country. The problem now been my unyielding parents. If I ever want anything from them, what I know so far was how I have to work my way for it, by persuading then like there's no tomorrow.“You are capable of transferring schools for me. I’m tired of NY, I just want to change location. Nothing else, I promise.” I’m being wise. Staying here, I won’t even be able to mind my studies, everywhere I g

Third Person’s Pov{Feelings At The Burial}Mere looking at the casket being lowered to the ground almost had Jordan tearing up. The fact that ought to be him and not Cassidy, has his brain on a pause, discarding every other thoughts. If only he was in the right sense to chase after Jasper that day. With his own very hands, they would have killed him away, accepting to live the rest of his lives in jail. Then he saw his mother. The person who has been long murdered by the two devilish husband and wife. He wanted to go to her, to check if he was seeing the reality but the dead body in his arms was much more worthy than running after the woman who abandoned him. If she wasn’t dead, she should have came for him but that was a now. She left him with her heartless ex husband to witness nemesis. And when he saw Nora at the Ford’s, the fear of rejection once again appeared before his face. He’s still dealing with a loss, having her come to tell him they can’t work would be another bruis

A Week LaterNORAThere’s going to be a burial, for Cassidy. The burial is going to take place at the Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn.Together with Natalie, we are going to be visiting her family first to offer our condolences before we all head to the Cemetery. The school announced her death about five days ago through the school news portal, since the school has been on break. A few were saddened, most were gladdened receiving their freedom. I almost felt like punching holes in their faces whenever one or two of their disheartening comments popped up but I’d just injure myself by punching my phone. It would have been better face-to-face. How can people be so cruel? A little sympathy even if they don’t mean it most definitely won’t hurt a fly.The Ford’s family are rich, even if it looks average. The security guard must be having a tough time opening and shutting the door, for the numerous visitors. “They’re inside.” He directed us and I gave him a nod. A little more and I’d for

NORAYou want to know that one time I feel like jumping over a cliff? The moment I ran to the scene, and got there only when the deed was done. Fate didn’t even give me the chance to be in her stead. You think I wouldn’t in a blink? I would. What use was life to me before? Nothing. The guy I want, I can never get. I got him, I must not stay. Now what? If anybody doesn’t, I’m going to make sure Jasper regrets the ruin he caused. I’m angry, I feel annoyed, I want to drag my nails over my face. Cassidy fucking died! She was murdered. I saw her being rushed into the ambulance in cold blood and my body lost all blood. How can a father be so insane to go as far as killing his own son? If not to get out of prison, then I wonder what his motive was. And my father? I don’t know how else to say he’s in trouble.To be frank, Jordan didn’t even want to speak with me. I remembered running towards him, where he was on the floor wailing, and it was unexpected when he totally ignored me befo
