Detention lasted all evening. After my little run-in with the Principal, I ended up spending an endless half-hour in his office then I was gifted a second detention for parking the Beetle in his parking space.
A grimace found its way to my face as I could hardly believe my ill luck. If he had been punctual in the first place then it wouldn't have happened.
I had sighed my relief after having survived the first detention only to head out to the almost empty parking lot to find a detention slip attached to the windshield wiper on the Beetle and the tire clamped. Teeth grounded on each other I crushed the stupid detention slip in my fist before stomping back to the school. Over a dozen students were also serving detention. An idiot thought it was cool to make paper planes and send them flying across the room, which only added to my annoyan
Brett laughed aloud and craned to get a better view."Did you hear me," Adam calls again, this time he was standing at the door, "be home before midnight!"I scowled and continued walking."Have fun at your kiddy party!" he added in a mocking tone."Whatever asshole..." I grumble under my breath and continued walking.The Beetle left the driveway and not long after I was pulling into the schools parking lot for the second time today. Never in a million years did I imagine that I'd be spending my night at a school party but Ossey had won me over. He seemingly convinced me that it wasn't as bad as I was making it out to be. The parking lot was almost full and I exited the car and smoot
Phoebe didn't bother to show up for work the next day, which was beyond selfish of her. I was forced to tend to all of the customers, which was her role as well as putting those stupid bouquets together.She took the day off knowing very well that I was horrible at putting bouquets together and there was no one to fill her shift.It took me ten minutes to put together a bouquet that would have naturally taken Phoebe less than a minute. I tried my hardest not to destroy the stupid fragile flowers while putting the first bouquet together. While I succeeded, the bouquet looked as if, it was put together by a three-year-old or perhaps a newborn.As the hours went by my frustration only grew worse, which was no surprise. I kept muttering under my breath bitterly as I worked and people kept staring at me rudely as if I'd gone psychotic.
It was only the second day of the week, yet I was praying for the weekend to hurry up and present itself. Up and down the corridors were whispers and laughter of all the fraternizing that took place after the school party and whatever hell hole half of the population seemed to have enjoyed a proper weekend. Whispers of some new gossip were being shared along the hallways and yet the only thing on my mind was spreading more misery in the life of Blade Collins.The plan I had devised pushed its way yet again to the front of my mind eager to make it happen. My black heart filled with joy at the thought of getting one more on Blade. The bells had chimed a minute earlier and people were too busy sharing gossips to bother hurrying off to class. Some girl in a pink shirt with a denim jumper dress and rather big grey eyes dropped her gaze as I walked by. At the mouth of the staircase the attenti
I tried wrenching my hand from his grasp but he was holding on too tightly and I couldn't pull free. I glowered at him and hissed a slew of expletives but Blade only gave a smug look, thoroughly amused. My lips parted in an attempt to yell louder and he yanked me toward him, spun me around and clamp down his free hand over my mouth as quick as lightning. The yells were muffled and inaudible and I struggled to pull free and Blade snickered next to my ear. My eyes darted to the right and left as Luka and Jude showed up on either side smirking and I cursed some more but it was no use because Blade was smothering all sounds."Three against one," he whispers against the side of my face and Luka cracked his knuckles, "you're outnumbered Tink."I shouted profanities and threats at him but it only sounded like stupid moans and Blade smirked pro
The cold night wind whipped my face as I ran out into the semi-lit street. I forced my legs to go as fast as I could until I was a good distance from the house. A stitch developed in my side and I came to a halt and winced while trying to catch my breath.Ossey was lucky he lived a far way off or I'd be tunnelling to his house just to kick in his door and probably commit murder. The street was quiet except for a few barking dogs and I was exhausted beyond humanly possible. Fitness-wise, I'm about as useful as stale bread and eating all those cookies earlier didn't help.A slight shuffle caught my attention and I straightened out my back and looked out at the darkness. Loud barks returned and yet there were no movements except for the occasional whistle of the wind. I was about to pass it off as just my imagination until the shuffle came
Blade made good on his promise and parked his Harley across the street in front of my house every evening since. He was joined by the idiots Jude and Luka who was watching the house like a hawk. I scoffed watching them through the windows acting as if they were having the times of their lives.I wasn't ready to face him yet, not after the jerk kidnapped me, tied me to his kitchen chair and kept me there for hours, and I had barely escaped by the very skin of my teeth. I needed some time to think up something good before I went toe to toe with him again, so until then I'd decide to avoid the goon at all cost.In the hallways at school, at class, in the parking lot, I had gone incognito and was always two steps ahead of him. Damn Ossey. That dork! How could he not sense something was amiss when my sworn enemy number one approached him asking for my address. What the hell was he thinking? That Blade wanted to send me a bunch of roses or an early valentines card.Ev
"I'm taking a day off!" I yell at Helen as she walked by my bedroom door, fully dressed and ready to go to the flower shop so she can bless people's lives with stupid scented bushes.Her heels stopped tapping as she came to a halt."To do what?" she asks with a raised eyebrow and mistrust in her eyes."I'm allowed a personal day aren't I?" I quip, "or should I call in sick? Which do you prefer?"Helen rolled her eyes in annoyance and I grinned."Fine, now answer my question.""Ah... to keep my sanity," I reply with an even bigger grin."Oddly I was of the impression you had left it
I couldn't believe it. Not even for a second. I couldn't fathom the thought of me liking Blade. All because of a stupid compliment. How stupid could I be to fall for something uttered from the lips of Blade Collins? The moron who doesn't love anything but himself. Self centred and arrogant to the farthest part of space and even then you'd have to go farther to match his arrogance. It's a modern-day miracle his head hadn't exploded yet from his oversized ego. The minute those words left his lying lips and my emotions betrayed me like a little bitch, the jerk seized the opportunity and stole my last Brownie.A damn Brownie.Who lies to steal food?As if it couldn't get any worst I was stuck picturing his green eyes over and over in my head for hours.

The doorbell downstairs rang and I heard Helen's voice floating around before the door opened. Blade's voice greeted whoever opened the door and my heart panged nervously in my chest. I looked good, I told myself as I was doing some quick breathing exercises to calm the nervousness. My eyes swept over myself one last time in the mirror.I had let my hair down and it flowed in a mass of curls around my shoulders. The outfit I had chosen for my first date with Blade was an oversized sweater shirt that was opened back and held together with a ribbon, paired with off white lace shorts and platform sneakers. I gathered my cellphone and my purse and headed downstairs to where Blade was waiting. He was sitting on the couch, looking quite uncomfortable between Helen and Victor who seemed to be giving him'the talk'.I would have laughed if I wasn't already feeling so nervous.
My breathing was shallow and my heart hammered loudly in my chest. I allowed my legs to carry me as best as they could at the moment. The principal's voice continued yelling loudly behind us as Blade led the way down a staircase and I followed."C'mon," he urges a little out of breath as he reached the front door and threw it open.He allowed me to take the lead and he followed closely at my heels as our running footsteps echoed off the ground. The silence that had filled the streets before had been disturbed by our sprint to the Mustang plus my loud panting. Blade threw open the car door and I dashed around to the passenger's side and hopped in. He stepped on the gas as I closed the door. The tires screeched loudly before the car sped off. I was wheezing loudly from exhaustion. My heart was hammering in my chest and my body prickled un
"The principal's house?" I snap, a high guttural sound, "how did my cellphone end up at the principal's house you moron!"His lips tightened into a thin line and I was fuming. The only thing keeping me from attacking him was the fact that I'd never get my cellphone back without him."It's a long story sweetling, and if you plan on getting your cellphone back, I suggest we go now and save the interrogation for later," the asshole replies.I glowered at the smirk he was wearing and let out a frustrated hiss."Fine moron... Stay here while I go change," I command."Oh c'mon Tink, there's no need for that," Blade responds immediately, his eyes looking me over searchingly.
"So you're Brad and he's Chad?" I ask for the second time making conversation and sipping on a cup of strong liquor, all while staring up at the twin who had his hand over my shoulder."Yes," he replies smiling at me, "and you're Secret and your friend over there is Phoebe?" He questions."Yeah," I reply with a chuckle.Phoebe was busy conversing with Chad. She was cheery and flirting as only Phoebe would be.Brad spoke but I didn't hear a word of it. My mind was in a different universe and even when it wasn't I was too engrossed by everything happening around us. The music played loudly, and there were endless whoops and cheers."Do you want to dance?" He repeats loude
"I know it's last-minute but can you tell Phoebe there's a party tonight next door?" I plead, following Helen around the kitchen as again she checked her events calendar and was blatantly ignoring me."A party?... Where?" Victor's disembodied voice asks.Five seconds later he walked into the kitchen. His eyebrow furrowed as I followed Helen around with my face screwed up in annoyance."Tonight, next door," I reply pursing my lips and looking from Helen to him.His eyes gleamed when he saw her and I scoffed under my breath and he cleared his throat and looked back at me."Left or right?" He asks."Right."
The evening sun felt great against my skin just thinking how horribly cold the weather had been not long ago."Decided where to go for your first date yet?" I ask Ossey Thursday after school."Hailey likes theme parks, so maybe there, I guess," he replies with his accent more pronounced and thick."Of course take her somewhere she likes," I say with a smile.The sky was a bright blue dotted with white clouds and a ray of magnificent golden sunshine reflecting against it."I almost forgot," I say turning to Ossey, "Emmett is throwing a party and I agreed to go and I thought you'd want to go too.""Emmett? As in the guy you have a cru
An entire day of searching and yet Blade was nowhere to be found. I wouldn't find him unless he wanted to be found. And he didn't. He had disappeared off the face of the earth like a single water droplet on a sunny day. Clearly, he knew some secret passages in and around the school that I didn't know about, otherwise how else would he have managed to disappear? If I hadn't hesitated to chase after him he wouldn't have gotten away or I'd at least seen where he went.I kept wondering if he was lying about not having gone through all the photos. Even if he hadn't, he had still gone through my cellphone and stolen pictures. Now he'd get to satisfy his disgusting fantasies, that he knows what I look like beneath the clothes.I couldn't turn up at his house. I'd be giving the jerk what he wanted. He even hinted at it himself. Offering the key
Hailey and Ossey? I didn't see that one coming at all. The guy's great and deserves a great girlfriend but the thought of him being googly-eyed and romantic was almost laughable. But who am I to judge, I know absolutely nothing about relationships never have and never will.My mind shifted to Blade for a split second and I shuddered and gagged and shook my head to erase that horrifying seconds thought. Almost as if everyone in the hallways had suddenly lifted from a trance loud whispering commenced. Oswald's friends were staring at him in complete awe and he looked lost. Students hurried down the corridor whispering, eager to go spread the news to anyone who hadn't witnessed the PDA of the century. Ossey's friends were teasing him and he scowled, ignored their jeerings and walked in my direction leaving them howling at him.Ossey approa
