I sighed heavily when my head finally hit my pillow. It was just the first day of school and I was already over it and ready to bolt out of here at any given chance.
It was certain literature was going to be least favorite course and that was saying something. I rolled over in my bed and pulled my knees up to offer myself comfort.
My stomach grumbled, reminding of just how empty it was, I had to go find the dining area because I at this rate I was going to starve to death.
There was a knock on my door and I sat upright as it opened. A girl walked in, eyeing the place like it was hell before looking at me.
“Miss Corie wants to see you now” she said, an air of arrogance around her.
“Who’s that?” I asked, hoping I was not in trouble.
“You’ll see” she said, “I’m taking you there now” she added, when I just remained sited. I almost groaned out loud that I was hungry and not in
There was nothing memorable about lunch, everyone just stared and refused to let me sit at their table but that was alright. I just sat by myself and ate the bland cafeteria food,if I only I could get a hot chocolate to go with it.I ate my food in a hurry and got out of there as fast as I could when I saw Annabel walk in, the last thing I wanted was starting trouble with her.While in class I had looked around to see if I would recognize the girls I saw last night but didn’t, that meant they were in a different class from me. Now I had to find another way to reach them, or maybe just talk to Annabel and see what she would say.I kicked up tiny stones as I headed to one place I knew would help me clear my mind, the river side.It was at the other end of the school and was just as big as the ocean where the academy stood. I was only able to see it the day Annabel took me to my dorm but I never got a chance to check it after then.I kept
After yesterday the space between me and Damon changed. He had made it clear he liked me, at least that was what his words meant to me.He had left immediately after that, saying that he had an urgent matter to tend to. I missed him immediately he was gone, my heart tugging painfully with the need to be around him.I liked him too if I was being honest with myself, from the moment I saw him at Mrs. Adams office right up till when I saw him at the river, in all his naked glory.That was all I could think of as Iwalked back to my room and had a cold shower hoping to relief myself of the tension that was gradually taking over my body and turning me into a gooey mess every time I thought about him.I’ve never wanted to go to class as much as this morning, in all my excitement of seeing him in class I had skipped breakfast and jogged all the way to class, my joy almost cut short when I saw Annabel but I was determined to not let her ruin what I had
There was no way he just declared me his girlfriend in front of the entire class. I shifted in my seat as everyone started to look at me and probably wonder what he even saw in me.I totally agree with them, I don’t know what he saw in me too. My waist length curly hair always sat in a huge bun on top of my head and it was always tangled.I had freckles running freely along my nose and under my eyes, my mouth was too full for my face and everyone in my former school took every liberty they had to remind of it. I was just too plain looking for someone as hot as Damon to call me his girlfriend.What ifit was a prank? I mean it happened before in 10thgrade when the football captain asked me out in the cafeteria and I had readily said yes but it turned out that it was a bet among him and his football buddies.My breath grew short as I thought more about what Damon just declared. Like howit made me a target for the likes of A
I’ve never been kissed before so I wasn’t sure what to do when his lips touched mine. Only let him do his thing, moving his lips against mine pulling my bottom lips between his lips as he sucked on it.It was pure bliss, fireworks going off in my head as I drank from his lips and he mine. It wasn’t until I was out of air that he pulled away and I touched my lips slightly afterward.“What?” he asked, looking at me with uncertainty “Did I do something wrong?”I shook my head, how was I going to explain the fact that I’ve never been kissed by another before. That at the age of seventeen I was still a virgin, it was embarrassing enough as it is.“You’ve never been kissed before?” He asked this time, the blush forming on my cheeks answered the question for me.“Oh shit! I never would have thought, that was why you didn’t move at all. I was beginning to think my several p
Fire. Something is burning but I can’t tell what it is but I know it is close, damn too close to me. Then there werevoices, screaming and begging to be set free. Was I in hell?Slowly I opened my eyes, afraid of what I would see and where I would be. my wardrobe at the other corner of the room came into view and I sat up. I was in the safety of my room so why did it smell like an entire building was burning down.The screams get louder as I swung my legs over the bed and my feettouched the floor but the hotness of it had me screaming and putting my feet back on the bed as fast as I could.Its then that I see it, fire burning straight and steady in the center of my room, right where that mark had been on the floor. I looked closely to know what caused the fire but there was nothing beneath it—just fire.I had to alert the authorities so they could tend to it before it burned my room down, but how was I going to get past the door if
Empty. I tap the side of the bed where Damon should be lying down but its empty, the sheets cold which meant he left long before I wokeup.Eyes still groggy with sleep, I get up from bed and shower before the morning rush starts. For the first time I don’t go straight to class. Instead I stopped by the cafeteria to grab breakfast which in my case was just an apple.I ate it as I skipped along the pavement, humming a song I knew nothing about. Everything felt right and dare I say happy even.I wanted to tell Damon about the dream and how the same mark I saw there was in my room but I let it go. The last thing I wanted was bothering him and ruining the good atmosphere we had between each other.My fingers flew to my lips and I remembered how he had ravished me last night but we didn’t get as far as I’d like. I wanted to experience everything with Damon while it lasted, it felt right to.When I got to class he wasn’t ther
Damon came to my room later that day to find me shivering and dazed from what happened. His first reaction was to ask if I was okay before bundling me into his arms and tucking me into his side on my bed.“Another nightmare?” he asked as he kissed my temple. I nodded in response not trusting myself to speak words that will make sense to him.“I think I’ll just move in here so that I can always be with you and keep the nightmares at bay” he said, his thumb rubbing circles at my back.“You don’t have to do all that for me, besides you can’t stay here. The Academy might even get you expelled if someone found the both of us in my room” I said to him. The last thing I needed was him leaving this school on my account.He was the only one that made staying here bearable for me and I wasn’t going to jeopardize that for any reason, nightmare or no nightmare.“Nobody is expelling me Liz”
Elizabeth…Elizabeth.That all I hear as I walk down the hallway on my way to class where Damon was already waiting for me. I turn back to check if there’s anyone calling me but there’s not a single soul even looking at me.I hold my bag tighter and keep going, I really was going to lose my mind at this point. I’m about to turn the corner when I hear the voice louder this time.“Elizabeth! Help!” and this time the voice is louder like it was right close to my ear and it sounds desperate and in need of saving.I stop again and search for where the voice was coming from but like other time before there’s no one there.I turn to keep walking only for the voice to scream so loud in my ear making me stumble and fall to the floor almost screaming in agony. I hold my ears trying to keep the voice out and regain a bit of my sanity.“Leave me the fuck alone!” I yell when the voice screams again, a
