"Hi, Paisley!"
The door chimed in as I pushed it, a girl in pigtails with a boring look gazed at me.
"Do you have some expired desserts there?" I asked, looking over shelves as I pick whatever my eyes landed on.
"Yeah, eat them until your stomach hurts." She mumbles as I went over the counter. I can't help but pout with her reaction.
"Just say you want to feed your prettiest friend, no need to hide your affection towards me." I placed the food on the counter and then winked. I can't help but laugh as she stared at me with a disgusting look.
"In your dreams," She mumbled and gave me the change. I went on the seat and start munching on the chips. "but are you all right? You're not looking great."
I chuckled. "Do you mean I usually look great?"
"Really, how are you?"
My tracks stopped as I heard her question.
How am I?
That's what I want to know too.
Why...<
I cannot move an inch. My eyes widen as my complexion turned pale. He was powerful. Too powerful. I felt shivers all over as I saw his raging dark eyes. It was full of rage, anger, hatred. He felt like a seal that's been closed on purpose and now that seal was no longer gone. There was nothing to suppress him anymore. There was nothing left to stop the wrath that's been pestering inside him for too long. Now, I was unsure if I did the right thing or not. I was unsure if this would really do better or just make things worse. One thing I'm certain of, this is all my fault. "G-grave..." I pushed him to use his powers and now I am meeting the consequences. I never knew he could be this dangerous! "Harper, duck!" I immediately threw my body in the ground as panic took over me. Grave's power was going rampant and letting loose, hitting the place behind me. I turned over a
I couldn't help but inhale the fresh air as sky crapers towered above us. How I miss the human world. It makes me feel like I'm back at home. "Stop dawdling, our time's only limited." I pouted hearing my partner's voice. He really is best at killing the mood. "Hey, Killian wait for me!" I quickly catch up to my companion who's walking really fast like a busy businessman. Well, he's a CEO. Maybe it's a habit. I quickly catch up, panting heavily as I walked behind. The city is as lively as ever. Cars honking everywhere and the never-ending traffic, couples and students busy with their coffees and laptops in cafes, that loud noise that never fails to comfort me. It always makes me feel that I'm really not alone. /// I stood frozen still as I looked at him with surprise. Mother of cow! My CEO just turned to be my classmate and on top of that is my frea
"Do we really have to do this?" "I told you we need to observe them first." Killian is really taking this serious. With a fancy shades in his face, he seriously followed our target inside the amusement park. "I mean do we really have to pretend as a couple?" He stared at me with a firm gaze. "Yes." "Why? I don't get it!" But Killian just grabbed my hand and dragged me everywhere. Our target first lined up in the rollercoaster ride. Killian quickly lined up as well, dragging me with him. "Are you serious?! We really need to ride?" "Yeah. Who knows he might do something funny in there." /// "Do you know each other?" "Yes/No" My eyebrow creased a little as our answers were different. Kiiian gaze at me with a puzzled expression but he remained calm. I was lucky enough his expressions are not that easy to tell. But somehow, I felt like I can read him
"Let's play some games!" I have to put his hand away quickly when I heard that loud girl again shouting. But what is he doing to me?! What is wrong with me?! I felt my chest racing too fast right now. My cheeks felt burning as well as I felt something fluttering in my stomach. What in the world is this?! Is this some kind of abnormality?! "Harper, Sir Lake, are you in?" girl excitedly beamed at us, sitting backwards on her chair again. "Yeah, we're born to be ready." Killian playfully answered. They didn't bother asking Archer since he's now asleep. Ms. Kase gave him a medicine a while ago. It's a good thing too that it's only us inside the bus. The other girl is too loud passengers could've complained about all the noise. I heard her name is Olive. Ms. Kase and Olive sat backwards once again, facing the two of us. Ms. Kase put out the lollipop on her mouth. "Let's play truth or dare!" "Rock, paper, and
After that embarrassing moment, Killian and I silently ate and he insisted to pay. On the bus ride back to Fersken, he also didn't bother to ask me any questions and I was really thankful for that. I accidentally slept on his shoulder but he didn't say anything as well. And now, I am too ashamed to face him. I feel like I am in huge debt. After that day I never dared to step out of the house and just stayed inside thinking of what I should say when I met him. I think too much and came out with nothing and now, we're about to be in disguised as normal hifghschool students. I heaved a sigh as I look in the mirror with a frown on my face. I was already wearing our uniform, black suit, red plaid necktie and skirt. I really hope I won't see him. I was about to go out of my house when my phone vibrated. I quickly roll my eyes when I saw it was the group chat I have with my past classmates. I lazily clicked the group chat to see what was going on.
I passed by him and already sat on an available seat. It's a good thing we're at the back of the class so no one noticed us. They were busy chatting with each other and making some friends. "Now, you know how to tease me, my wife?" What the?! I turned my head beside me and turns out Killian was my seatmate as well. I scanned the class but there were no available seats anymore. I'm stuck. He rested his elbow on his table and lean his chin on his palm. A grin appear on his lips and winked at me. "I like it when you tease me. Shall we skip this class and play, my wife?" His seductive voice made my cheeks went burning. But of course, I won't be defeated! "No, thanks. I'm good." I might've said it nonchalantly but I was really in panic inside! What in the world is wrong with his choice of words! He's totally killing me! The class passed by swiftly. Since it is just the first day of school, there weren't much things to
Meet me in front of the school gate. This is your last mission. "Is he serious?!" I slammed my table and stood up, looking intently at my phone. Jay just texted me and it's freaking 6:30 pm! I am too busy writing the updates on our mission to wander around! I looked at my phone when it vibrated the second time again. I almost curse when I saw his message. If you don't, consider yourself exposed. I can't do anything but wear casual clothes instead of my pajamas. I grabbed my sling bag and put my wallet and phone on it before going out. "Ugh, he's completely nuts!" I grunted as I marched down the alley. Seriously?! Even after school, he's going to annoy me?! That's it! When I see him, the first thing I'll do is hit him hard with my bag! That guy deserves a beating! But then I halted when I felt something from behind. The surroundings were already quite dark since the sun already set. M
The faint ray of sunlight brushed past my skin as my eyes slowly fluttered open. I was still too sleepy so I shut my eyes and continue my sleep. My alarm hasn't rung yet so I know I'm still not late. But why is my bed smells intoxicating? The scent is so addictive. I quickly reach for a pillow and hug it tightly. Though I don't know why it's not that fluffy. "Harper," Someone whispered. "You need to get up." "Hmm," I grunted, sniffing the pillow as I buried my face in it. It smells so nice. "Just a minute." I retorted. A soft chuckle tickles my ear. "You're really tes
