Lily tossed and turned in her bed, unable to find a comfortable position. She sat up, checked the time, and saw that it was only eight in the morning. She had gone to sleep early because she didn't feel like reading. Caleb, who was lying beside her, hadn't given her the chance to read anyway. His scent sent intense signals all over her body, making her feel like she was losing control from the way he kissed her. His hands explored every inch of her body, and it was exhilarating, but she loved every moment of it. She didn't want it to end. Caleb knew how to kiss a lady and make her feel desired.It wasn't rushed.It was gentle, yet passionate.There were no words to describe the touch. It was simply different. Just then, a knock came on her door, and she looked in that direction. Caleb's voice sounded next."Lily?" he called, and then opened the door the next second.Lily turned to him. He was carrying a backpack.He looked handsome in his black jeans and white shirt. He looked at Lily
Hm, but why are they defending you?" Fae asked, and Lily looked at her, noticing an indescribable expression in her eyes. Lily didn't know what it meant, but she knew it was different.“I don't know, Fae,” Lily replied, looking back at the notepad in her hand as she continued writing the notes she had missed.“They told the principal I shouldn't be suspended until the truth is out,” Lily added.“What truth? Do they think you were framed? Goodness, I think it's possible you and Noah did this,” Fae said, causing Lily to stop writing and look at her friend.“What do you mean?” Lily asked.“I mean, it's possible you and Noah did everything yourselves. Remember Ariella? She told you she was with you two and she saw you two go away together.”“And then we made the videos ourselves?” Lily interrupted angrily.“It's possible. I'm just saying, I don't want you to humiliate yourselves. If the truth comes out and everyone finds out you and Noah had sex, it would be even more humiliating,” Fae ex
Sarah had no choice but to go to Lily. She called her in the middle of class, and Lily answered. At first, Lily didn't want to go with her because of everything Sarah had done to her. However, Sarah persisted and Lily had no choice but to go with her."Why is she calling you?" Fae asked as Lily stood up."I don't know, but I have to answer her since she wouldn't stop bothering me," Lily said. Fae nodded and turned back to her book. Lily and Sarah walked out of the class.Sarah didn't stop until they reached an empty classroom. Lily was skeptical and didn't want to be alone with her, not after what she had done. She had been kidnapped by Sarah and her men. It was only natural for her to be scared."What do you want?" Lily growled."What do I want? Well, there must be a reason I brought you here," Sarah stuttered, her voice cracking. Lily looked at her unimpressed."Just tell me what you want and why you brought me here," she said.Before Sarah could say another word, Josephine entered
After thinking for a while, Lily decided to meet Fae for help. After all, Fae was the only friend she knew. Sarah, whom she thought would be a good friend, had betrayed her. That betrayal hurt. It made Lily feel like she wasn't worthy of being loved. It was a terrible feeling. Anyway, she made her way to class and saw Fae reading a novel. It was a Colleen Hoover book."Will you be done with it soon?" Lily asked. She loved reading novels as much as she loved reading her own books. Her love for reading must have come from there."No, but you could borrow a copy from Gabriel's library. He has all the books you could name," Fae smiled."Yeah. Uhm, can I ask for a favor, Fae?" She asked, and Fae looked at her with a smile."Go ahead," she said."Can I borrow five hundred dollars from you? I ruined Harriet's dress, and she asked me to refund the money," she sighed."You borrowed clothes from Harriet?" Fae turned to her with raised eyebrows, feigning care. Fae mocked her inwardly for being s
When it was almost eight o'clock at night, Lily headed out to meet Isaac. She hesitated, knowing she had no other way to get Harriet's money. It was better to go and see what he wanted from her. Arriving at the school, she spotted Isaac next to his car. He got out as soon as he saw her."Here I am, where's the money?" she asked, scanning her surroundings. She didn't like being alone with Isaac so late at night. She just wanted to collect the money and leave.The moon cast a dim light on the school grounds, the only source of illumination since the main lights had been switched off. Lily wished she could turn back and stop this, but she couldn't. This was her only option. She had to go through with it."Take off your clothes," he commanded, and she snapped her gaze to him."What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling."Take off your clothes and let me see you. After that, I'll give you the money," he explained.Lily scoffed. "I would never do that," she rolled her eyes. The moonl
The next day, Lily reluctantly went to school. As she walked through the hallway, she couldn't help but notice the whispers and mocking from her fellow students. They called her names and labeled her a slut. It had been three days since the pictures were posted on the school page, yet the gossip and ridicule persisted. It seemed like everyone was talking about it.When Lily entered her classroom, she saw Jess and her group of followers standing up, ready to confront her. Jess folded her arms and looked at Lily with disdain. "Why are you here?" she sneered.Lily looked away, trying to ignore her, but Jess pushed her backward. "Where do you think you're going?" Jess raised her voice."You're shameless for coming back to school. Can't you just leave?" Jess shouted.Lily's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at Jess, taken aback by her hostility. Why was Jess so interested in her life? It seemed like Jess had nothing better to do than to torment her. Just then, Fae stepped in."Should y
Lily felt deeply disappointed in Noah. They had been best friends, yet he had done something so hurtful to her. She had believed that he loved her, but it turned out he was wicked. He had planned it all along. Fae was the one who yelled at Noah the most, standing in front of Lily to defend her. However, inwardly, Fae was secretly pleased. All of her plans were going smoothly. Lily had trusted her as her best friend."Do you honestly think I could look at you the same way after this? It turns out you're nothing but a hypocrite. We should have known when you suddenly appeared and became friends with Lily," Fae shouted.After hearing Fae's statement, Lily realized that she didn't have any friends left. Fae was her only friend in the entire school. Sarah had betrayed her, and now Noah. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to cry. She didn't want to show how weak she felt."I swear, I didn't do it!" Noah denied once again."Stop lying, Noah. We saw these pictures on your phone. Ho
Nathaniel and Gabriel looked at Caleb once again."Come on and sign. Have you forgotten everything we went through because of him?" Gabriel asked.Caleb moved closer to them, a curious expression on his face. “We need to get to the root of the matter before concluding that it was Noah who did it. Anybody could have used his phone to take the picture,” Caleb said. “What do you mean?” Nathaniel raised his brows, a frown creasing his handsome face. He didn't like what his brother was saying at all. He wanted Noah to be put out of the school especially because he was too close to Lily. “I mean that if we search well, we could find more evidence and not put the blame on the innocent one,” Caleb explained earning a smile from Noah. Caleb didn't return the smile, rather he gave him a bull breath. “You think that Noah is innocent? His phone is fingerprinted, did you think that someone would have been able to open his phone?” Lily asked. “Yes, I think so. Someone must have done so when he
