"Do not tell this to your mother or your stepfather. Do you understand?" He pointed his finger at me, emphasizing his words. I retorted loudly, "What if I do? Are you trying to threaten me?"

View MoreSarah's POV: I struggled to calm my breath as I danced with the most handsome and gorgeous guy I had ever seen. He stood right in front of me—the guy who had been the subject of my first crush. The same guy who took my breath away when we first met, the guy who made me keep thinking about him all the time but I didn’t realize that he was also the one who annoyed me, made my senior year a living hell, tried to ruin my life, and destroyed my image in front of my teachers. Despite all that, I found myself dancing with him, admiring his deep eyes that were fixed on me. His hand rested on my waist, while the other held mine, as we moved to the song 'Thinking about you.' He gazed into my eyes with a beautiful smile, making me feel nervous and causing me to breathe heavily. Amidst the dancing crowd, my focus was solely on Zayn. I wondered if he was truly changing for the better, leaving his evil and wicked side behind. The suddenness of the change was bewildering and suspicious, but his goo
Sarah’s POV: I kept looking at him as his eyes moved down from my head to my toes, making me nervous. I gulped and moved a little to make him realize that he was staring at me but he kept staring with a smile on his face. “What - what are you looking at?” I asked him resentfully. He chuckled and shook his head before starting to smirk. “’What’ am I looking at? Don’t you think that’s a weird question to ask…?” He said playfully. I got awkward and started, “No, I mean, why you are looking at me like that?” “Because I am adoring you…” He answered and I looked at him in shock. “Ad – Adoring me?” I asked him with my eyes wide open. “Yes, of course…” He said and then leaned towards me to add, “You’re looking beautiful in this outfit” I gulped and bent my face down before looking away. “Um – uh, thanks…” I said, fixing my hair from the side in nervousness while he smiled. “Let’s go to the party” He said. “Yeah, I’ll come behind” I said and was about to close the door when he bange
Sarah’s POV: I kept looking at him in confusion while his smile was freaking me out. “Where?” I asked again sharply. “A place where you will make lifelong enemies and create unforgettable trauma for yourself…” He replied and I kept looking at him in confusion with my eyes widened in shock. “What?” I asked him. “School…” He replied and smiled. “Why – why did you say all of that? Enemies? Trauma?” I asked him nervously. “Just like that. I was giving you a reality about what a school actually is” He said casually and I kept looking at him in disbelief. “You are, weird…” I told him. “Not weird… Just a little more pragmatic…” He said and I looked away resentfully. “Shall we go to school now?” He asked me again and I looked at him in confusion. “Um, you – you are offering me to come with you, in your car?” I asked him in disbelief. “Yes, is that really hard to believe?” He asked me, tilting his face to the side, looking more charming than usual. I cleared my throat and blinked
Sarah’s POV: I kept looking at my mom in shock as Rowen informed us that they were going for their honeymoon, leaving me and Zayn in the house, alone. I couldn't believe I will be living with a guy alone in a house when he is not my brother by blood but my stepbrother who also used to be my crush before. As I was shook by the news and kept looking at my mom, I realized that Zayn was looking at me. I turned to look at him and he smiled at me. This time that smile didn't look wicked and there was nothing wrong with it. Instead it seemed genuine and real but still I could sense some trouble there. I could feel my heart beating faster thinking how I was going to live with him alone and wondered if something bad will happen while my mom wouldn't be around. "But - But mom..." I managed to speak and cleared my throat to add further, "Honeymoon?" “Can’t we go for our honeymoon, Sarah?" Rowen interrupted and I began to look at him in confusion and nervousness, wondering what to say. "U
Sarah’s POV: I kept looking at Zayn in shock as he walked towards me and stood in front of that guy while dragging me behind him. “You were saying something?” Zayn asked that guy and walked forward towards him to add further, “Say it again…” “I – I didn’t…” The guy started fearfully. To my surprise, Zayn immediately grabbed the guy’s collar and pulled him while everyone gasped, including me. As everyone else began to whisper something to each other, I held Zayn’s hand and started, “Zayn what are you doing? Leave him” “Listen to me” Zayn started bitterly and tightened the grip on his collar before adding further, “Do not bother her ever again or else I will beat you to death… Do you understand me?” “Zayn please…” I said and tried to hold him back but he was strong enough to hold that guy as long as he wanted. “Y – Yes…” The guy said shakily and nodded while I looked around at everyone who was looking at Zayn in horror. “Good…” Zayn said and jerked him away while he stood ther
Sarah’s POV: I kept looking at him with my eyes wide open as he was offering to help me. I couldn’t believe the person in front of me. He never offered to help me in anything before and now he was all concerned and kind towards me but I sensed trouble. “It’s okay… I can manage…” I said to him and pressed my hands against the floor to stand up. “Come on, let me help…” He said and held my arm immediately while I resisted. He held me tightly and pulled me up and I tried to balance myself. “Are you okay?” He asked me and I looked at him in confusion once again. “I – I am fine…” I said and jerked my hand away from him while he kept looking at me. I wasn’t getting what he was trying to do but I knew one thing that he was having something in the back of his mind. He was planning something again. I looked around, wondering if Rowen or my mom was watching because of which he was being all good to me but there was no one around. “You should be careful…” He said and walked away from there
Sarah’s POV: As he said that, all the people in the cafeteria began to gather around us while whispering something to the ones standing next to them. I kept looking at him in shock wondering what he was saying and if he was actually meaning it. As everyone came closer to watch what was happening, I managed to start, “What?” “I said, pick the muffin with your mouth…” He added sharply while Eric placed his hand on his mouth and tried not to laugh. I kept looking at Zayn in shock and disappointment. I knew he hated me but I never thought that he could stoop so low. I couldn’t believe it and kept standing there thinking that he might be kidding. “Your time is running out…” He added and I began to look around at everyone who were watching us and waiting for me to do that while I gulped. “This – this is not right… Why are you doing this?” I asked him slowly while he crossed his arms against his chest and leaned back on the table, smirking. “I guess, you don’t want it…” He whispered t
Sarah’s POV: I kept looking at Zayn while smirking but he looked quite calm and relax. I wondered why it wasn’t making him restless or worried as he was now caught and everyone would come to know how bad he is but then suddenly Mr. Morris’s eyes moved up on me and I got restless. “What’s your topic, Zayn?” Mr. Morris asked him. “Ancient roman, the birth place of modern sports” Zayn replied and I looked at him in confusion wondering if he really did his essay. Mr. Morris walked towards me with the essay in his hand and threw it on my desk to make me see when suddenly my eyes widened in shock as I saw essay on modern sports and it was indeed Zayn’s assignment. My heart wanted to cry out loud and I wanted to bury myself down there at the moment to get away from that embarrassment. I also wanted to bang my head on the wall behind the class as I looked up at Mr. Morris and saw him looking at me in disappointment. “You were right, Zayn… She was actually blaming you because she doesn’t
Sarah’s POV: As he walked away from there I wondered what he was talking about. There was something else waiting for me to happen and it was freaking me out because I knew Zayn and I knew he was always serious about everything and he shouldn’t be underestimated. I gulped there and looked around for my mom but couldn’t find her again. Sighing in frustration, I put my assignment file in the bag and walked away from there to head to school. As I reached my school, I saw Eloise and Gene in the locker hall and walked towards them immediately. “Hey…” I said and they turned to look at me. “You are here, finally…” Eloise said and then added, “We need to talk” “Yes, we need to” I said and then added, “What happened last night?” I began to take out some of my books to keep it in my locker. “Hey, this file… nice color” Gene said to me as she looked at my grass green assignment file. “Thanks, Gene but we have a serious point to discuss right now…” I told her and kept my file back in my ba
Sarah’s POV: The radiant light hit my face through the swaying curtains and I groaned in frustration. Stretching my hands and legs, I turned to my right, letting the shining sunlight strike my back. I kept my eyes shut for a while, trying to go into a deep sleep but couldn’t. Finally, I got up on the bed and looked at my window, placing my hand in front of my face to hinder that light, directly dashing against my eyes. I got up from the bed and walked towards the window to look outside. It was a beautiful morning. I loved how the weather was changing to all sunny and warm. “Sarah…” Mom’s voice came from downstairs. “Yes, mom...?” I asked loudly. “Come downstairs… I have made this amazing breakfast for you, honey” She said excitedly and I raised my eye brow up in confusion. “What’s the occasion today? And why hasn’t mom left for work yet?” I asked myself while thinking deep about this sudden change in mom’s behavior. “Okay, mom, coming down in a few minutes” I said out loud and ...
