Her harsh words
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56They both talked for a long time and it didn't seem like there wasn't much of a difference between them. Grace couldn't study at all that day but she was a lot happier than usual for two reasons, first, her crush finally talked to her, and second, she just made a friend after a long time. She laughed a lot with her and Ava found her cute and innocent.
"Why do you do so many part-time jobs?" Ava asked her as they were leaving the store.
"To make a living." She replied straight away.
"Don't your parents give you money?" Ava asked and found it a little strange.
"No, but they do ask for it sometimes." Grace said and had a smile on her face.
Ava stopped walking after hearing this, she was shocked after knowing the amount of pressure she had to bear.
"And why do you study so much?" Ava asked her with a blank face.
"So that I can get a scholarship." She replied as she turned around. Ava was a little awkward for she didn't know how to react now. Grace noticed it and smiled.
"You don't have to worry, it's way too normal for me." Grace said and turned back.
"Who's worried?" Ava said and started laughing to end the serious atmosphere. "I...I mean it's your life and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. I don't even care about it..." She said with an awkward smile on her face as she scratched the back of her head. Grace was a little hurt by her words because they sounded similar to what she said in her dream but still smiled at her.
"I'm going back now." She said with a soft smile and walked away quietly because she wanted to run away from the bitter reality.
Ava was standing there quietly and was regretting that she said those words and made her run away. She groaned in frustration and banged her feet on the floor. She asked herself why her brain always stopped working in such serious situations and she always says something stupid.
Grace reached her house after some time and was kinda frustrated at herself for having walked away so suddenly. She thought that it was so rude but she just wanted to escape from that awkward situation and not face the truth, for this was her habit. Her words sounded a bit harsh to her but she still regretted what she did next.
"Grace, what the hell were you thinking?" She said to herself as she removed her jacket.
"She's not the same as you, nothing will happen, you'll just be the secret admirer and nothing else. You're just her one friend in a thousand, don't get your hopes too high." She looked at herself in the mirror as she talked to herself. She sighed deeply and was kinda happy to have spent her evening with her. She decided to stay away from her, to prevent her feelings from going overboard and making a stupid move. She changed her clothes and decided to do her work.
The next day, Ava was waiting for her at the entrance of the college to apologize to her. Grace arrived after some time and was shocked to see her and felt a little unfortunate, for she had decided to avoid her but she was the first person she saw. She walked slowly and was thinking of avoiding her but she called out her name.
"Grace, I have to talk to you about something." She said as she ran up to her and her voice was a lot softer than before.
"W...what?" Grace stuttered.
"I just wanted to apologize..." Ava said and suddenly all her gang members arrived there in a car and honked loudly to get her attention.
"Hey, Ava, what's up?" Emily asked as she got off the car and hugged her.
"Hey, you're teasing this nerd again?" Harry said as he noticed Grace standing beside her.
"Well, we'll be happy to join..." Elijah, another one of their friend, added and stepped forward towards her.
Grace was embarrassed and awkward in that situation and ran away from there without saying anything. Ava stopped them from chasing her and was confused about what she was supposed to do now. Grace avoided her afterward and didn't even come in her sight the whole day but she still got hold of her. As Grace was walked up the stairs, someone grabbed her hand and pushed her against the wall.
"Why the hell are you avoiding me?" Ava asked as she came closer to her.
"I'm not." Grace denied her accusation and looked away.
"Grace stop lying, you ran away as soon as you saw me for the whole day." Grace was kind of embarrassed for she was wrong. But deep down she knew that if she got closer to her she'll lose control of her feeling and will make Ava hate her in the end.
"I'm not." She lied again and tried to get away from her again.
"Stop running away." Ava shouted and pushed her against the wall again.
"Stop, you're hurting me." Grace cried, Ava felt bad for acting so impulsive but it felt as if she had no control of herself, things were happening on their own and she couldn't stop herself from going towards her.
"Fine, then talk to me whenever you're ready." Ava said in a frustrated tone and walked away.
Grace was left all alone in the stairway and felt like crying for pushing her away. She took a deep breath and wiped away the tears that formed in her eyes and went on with what she was doing. Ava didn't bother her the rest of the day but kept staring at her which made her feel uncomfortable but she couldn't complain about it.
Her classes came to an end and she walked out of the college gate. Ava was watching her and noticed a guy standing at the gate. He was wearing blue jeans and a black leather jacket with a white t-shirt underneath it. She saw him walk towards Grace and she surprised at seeing him. Ava was shocked when that guy stepped forward and hugged Grace and she seemed to hug him back. Ava felt frustrated for persuing after her when she wasn't even interested in her.

A guy was standing at the gate and as Grace came out, he stepped forward and hugged her. Ava felt frustrated, she couldn't understand why she felt upset when she saw her with someone else. She walked away from there followed by her other friends."Lucas! What the hell are you doing?" She said as she pushed him away."Can't I hug my sister?" He said in a teasing voice that sounded disgusting to her."You know I don't like it." She said and started walking."And you know I love creating trouble for you." He said and started following her."I just wanted to check if you were dating anyone, but you aren't, cause no one came forward to push me away." He said and she was stressed out, already because of Ava and now he also came to increase the stress."Why are you here?" She asked him in a frustrated tone."I need money." He said, turned his head towards her, and continued, "Mom told me to take it from you.""You know I don't have su

Ava ran around that area to find Grace but she was nowhere to be seen. She got tired after running for a long time and started walking slowly to catch her breath and didn't know where else to find her when suddenly she heard the sounds of someone sobbing. She followed that sound and it led her to a dark alley. She used her phone's flashlight to see clearly and saw Grace squatted on the floor, leaning against the wall and crying uncontrollably. Her knees were bruised, her hair was messy, her eyes red and feet was swollen. She rushed up to her and wiped away her tears."Oh, Grace are you okay?" She asked as she caressed her cheek but she didn't reply and just hugged her tightly. Her heart skipped a beat but she hugged her back and just caressed her back to calm her. Grace stopped crying after some time and pulled away from the hug. Ava whipped her tears away and smiled at her softly, a smile that seemed to take away all her pain."Nerd, you made a mess of yourself by cry
Tomboy and her admirer "Open your shirt..."
"Open your shirt." Ava said with a straight face and Grace was shocked. She backed away a little and her face started to burn up."Are you blushing?" Ava asked and came closer to her face. Grace covered her face and looked away. Ava laughed and opened the first aid box."I'm just gonna apply for some medicine on your bruises." Ava said and flicked her forehead.She slowly removed her shirt after she kept pursuing her and looked away from her. Ava was shocked as she saw her arms. There were several marks on her body and it seemed as if she had scratched her arms several times. She reached out her hand to touch them but she backed away. As Ava looked at her face, she noticed that she was embarrassed and was on the verge of tears so she took her hand back and applied for medicine on her wounds without saying anything.She applied medicine to the cotton and dabbed it on the bruises. There was complete silence yet they could hear each other's hearts beat like
Tomboy and her admirer Her crush
Grace and Ava were sitting on the sofa afterward for neither of them was able to sleep so they decided to talk for some time. They talked about college stuff and friends etc. Well, it was Ava who was talking mostly and Grace was just listening to her quietly."Grace, do you have a crush on anyone?" Ava asked suddenly and she flinched."N...no" Grace replied immediately. "What about you?" She asked her and was nervous to hear her response."I do actually." Ava said with a smile and Grace's heart dropped. "You know right, the topper from our class, Daniel. He's so cute." She told her and she nodded with a smile, although her mind was in a mess. "But I don't dare to tell him yet." She added."You should tell him, maybe it'll work out. Grace suggested and she smiled."Let's watch a movie," Ava suggested after some time."We have to go to college tomorrow." Grace reminded her."Oh yeah, you'll go there with a broken foot," Ava said sarcast
Tomboy and her admirer "I'll take care of you..."
Ava became kinda busy after that day and didn't visit Grace that often but she used to call her every night to ask if she was fine and if she needed anything. Grace always gave her a positive response and never complained about anything for she didn't want to depend on her too much. They used to talk for a long time and sometimes fell asleep midway.Grace went back to college after three days when her foot healed properly. She wore a hoodie to cover her scars and because it was kinda cold weather so no one bothered to question her. Ava knew that she was coming and was waiting for her at the gate. For some reason, she asked her to come half an hour earlier."You didn't have to wait for me," Grace said as she reached near her."Here," Ava said and handed her a bag."What is this?" She asked in confusion."Breakfast. Let's eat together." Ava said and suddenly grabbed her hand. She pulled her to the cafeteria to eat their food together there."H

Days went by and Grace used to hang out with Ava and the others at college and sometimes they used to visit her at the cafe. She became pretty familiar with them and didn't feel so uncomfortable now.The day of the trip was arriving closer and they all were very excited about it. It was a week-long trip. They were going to the nearby city which was famous for its beautiful tourist attractions. They were going to trek for three days and camp at night. Afterward, they were going to explore the city for two days, and in the last two days, they were free to do anything they wanted, which was allowed because the students requested the organizers, and in the end, they were told to assemble at the given place. They were going to reach the city by bus.The day of the trip finally arrived and they were all assembled at the college, early in the morning, waiting for everyone to arrive. They had their luggage collected at one place and were just talking, Grace and Emily were sitt

The road trip was quite fun, they all were chatting and singing the whole time. The students asked the driver to stop at multiple places to take pictures and short breaks.While they were resting at a place, Daniel, the guy whom Ava had a crush on, approached her and gave her a bottle of water, she didn't refuse and took it. She was quite confused for she found him cute and he was her type of guy but at that point, she didn't feel anything for him. She felt as if something was missing but couldn't figure out what. He talked to her for some time and then went back to his friends.Grace saw this all from a distance and was feeling sad. She thought that she already prepared herself for this but it didn't decrease her pain. She felt a strange pain in her heart that started to break her, bring back all the pain that she kept ignoring. But a part of her was happy for her and she was trying to believe it but that pain kept increasing slowly.The break ended and they we

The instructor told them to be careful for the rocks were kinda slippery. Grace was out of breath but they still had a long way to go.

Tomboy and her admirer Are they against them?
There was complete silence in that room for a few seconds and Grace was starting to get anxious for William hadn't said anything.He smiled after some time and looked at her. "There is no doubt that she loves you so much and has changed so much, just for you." He said and smiled softly, which he rarely did. "I do think it is partially our fault that's she's this way (anxious and insecure) and I'm guilty of that. I promised my wife to give my children the best life but I think I ruined it. So if there is a way to amend it, I'll surely do it."Grace smiled and was relieved that everything worked out in the end. Alisa was happy for them and hugged Grace while Oliver was confused but accepted them after digestion of the whole situation.William called Cora inside after that and she was confused to see everyone so happy."You chose the right girl, brat," William told her and she smiled and was relieved."Thanks, grandpa."

Tomboy and her admirer Meeting Cora's family
They entered the mansion and the guard guided them to where Cora's family was waiting for her. Three people were sitting in that room, her mom, wearing a red dress and looking like an older version of Cora; her father and grandfather wearing formal, looking similar in looks, the way they sat, and the cold expressions. Grace was quite scared of meeting them. She knew that her parents had accepted them but it was only her mom, her dad was just cooperating for he feared that Cora would leave the country and he wouldn't have an heir. Gabe sat silently in the corner, he also didn't like his dad much cause he wasn't even given a chance after he was involved in the accident. Mr. Oliver Abel just put a title of useless on him and pretty much threw him out of the company.Cora took a deep breath and entered the room, holding Grace's hand for she didn't want to run away anymore, she wanted to face her fear and show them who she was, whether they accepted her or not.Grace was re
Tomboy and her admirer The love phase
It was raining heavily, the weather was slowly getting colder and people started going back to their homes. Some were enjoying the rain, getting wet and dancing on the roads. Some were complaining about the weather while others were enjoying it, feeling at peace as if the rain washed away all the negativity. While some were reminded of the dark past and were crying, the rain accompanying their tears.Ava was still sitting in the cafe, alone but was at ease for she had finally moved on. She was able to get out of her lies and accept reality. Unknowingly, Grace had helped her free away from her past. Ava decided to change herself and become a better person. After thinking for a long time, she took a deep breath and she called her father and told him that she was coming back. Her father was surprised and asked if everything was alright. She replied positively and further told him that she would try to be a better daughter this time. He was relieved and happy; deep down he thanke
Tomboy and her admirer Grace's true love?
"But everything happens for the good. I'm happy with who I am now; I can accept myself as I am and I am loving myself which I never did before." Grace said and looked at Ava, her eyes were a little gentler. Ava started to feel more comfortable. "It's better to just move on. Let's just believe that we were just strangers who accidentally crossed paths and it all led to all this chaos. But I don't hate it, I don't blame you either. Cause it was because of all that that I met someone special and who makes me feel like I deserved to be loved, who has made all of my insecurities vanish." She started smiling without even realizing it. Ava noticed it and realized that she had already lost her and there's no use in trying to get her back for it would just hurt them more. The room was filled with silence again but there was no tension anymore. They were relieved for they had told each other everything they wanted.In that silence, Grace found her answer. It was love that she felt towa
Tomboy and her admirer Ava or Cora?
Ava was standing right in front of her, holding a bouquet; looked at her as if Grace was her everything as if she had finally found her other half. Grace was startled by what had happened but the very next second she glared at her in anger. She was reminded of all those horrible things that Ava had done to her. Ava was confused to see that sight; it seemed as if something had changed as if the person in front of her was a complete stranger. Grace took a deep breath and walked towards the car, ignoring Ava completely for she didn't want to talk to her, she didn't want all that pain back, she had to protect herself this time.Grace sat inside the car and slammed the door. Cora was getting more anxious every second, but she didn't say anything and just firmly held her hand. Grace squeezed her hand lightly and rested her head on Cora's shoulder."I'm okay," Grace said and Cora smiled faintly.They went back to the mansion and everything became normal in no time caus
Tomboy and her admirer "You did enough, darling."
It was evening, the whole day had passed but Grace was still not out of that room. Lia and Austin were getting a little worried for she had not eaten the whole day but they could do nothing but wait for her. The evening passed in no time and the night came and the door finally opened. Grace came out, looking lost and gloomy. She ran to her room without even looking at anyone else. They got a little worried for her because it seemed as though she had cried. They tried to call Cora but there was no reply from her side. Helpless, they went back to their rooms.It was past midnight and Cora finally came back, she looked exhausted and tired. Initially, the meeting was scheduled for next week but she preponed it because she didn't want to be at home that day; she didn't want to face Grace because she was expecting a rejection, she didn't have any faith in herself.Grace was sitting on her bed, hugging the pillow, thinking about what she should do next. Her answer could hurt
Tomboy and her admirer Cora's past...
The sun rays entered the room and fell on the bed, where Grace was lying, looking as pretty as ever. Her hair a little messed up and one foot out of the blanket so that it wasn't too hot or cold. She woke up because of all the sunlight that had entered the room. She turned over and touched the other side of the bed, it was empty and cold. She opened her eyes to see that there was no one, nor on the bed neither in that room. A sigh escaped her mouth as she remembered that Cora was gone away for the meeting. It had been a long time since she had woken up alone, without Cora by her side.She got out of bed after procrastinating for a long time and started getting ready for the day. It was the weekend so she didn't have to go to the college and thus had woken up late and also because Cora was not there, who usually woke her up.She went out of the room and the workers greeted her and gave her birthday wishes. She smiled and thanked them. She went down to the dining area an
Tomboy and her admirer Nightmares of past
Complete darkness all around, even though Grace had opened her eyes and there was pin-drop silence and she stood alone in the center of the abyss. That place seemed familiar even though she could no see anything. Slowly the feeling of anxiety filled her and she froze in place due to fear, not taking any step forward; something didn't feel right, as if it was the silence before the storm.After some time, she could hear a low voice but couldn't tell what it was no matter how closely she tried to hear it. That sound increased every second and she flinched as she understood what it was. It was the voice she heard every time she felt depressed, the voice that told her to die. It became unbearable in no time. She covered her ears but it was of no use."You're useless! No one loves you! You should die instead! A piece of shit! Worthless! Just a burden! Just die!" These words kept repeating and echoing back to her in that abyss. Grace cried and struggled to avoid that- to not
