Andre and I sat on the table my best friend and I usually ate lunch, chattering and giggling. I glanced around the hall and couldn't make any of the faces I saw to be that of Maya's. She had developed the habit of coming late to the cafeteria which was unlike her.
"Babe, what do you think about this?" Andre tapped my shoulders and showed me a picture of a girl sitting on the floor in her undies and her tongue was out in a crazy style.
"Seductive, I guess." I puckered my forehead and wondered why he showed me the picture of a half naked brunette. Wasn't I supposed to be his girlfriend or something? "Why?"
"Oh, her photo got leaked today." He stated, scrolling through his Instagram feed.
"Are you for real?" I widened my eyes and collected his phone to scroll back to the picture. "She looks familiar."
"Oh, yeah. She schools here."
"What's her name?"
"Lo-"
I laid in bed on my sides, watching as lightening illuminated my room and a thunder clap followed after I did a count down from ten to one. The rain fell pitter patter on my ceiling and matched the beating of my scared heart.Why was I scared? A whole lot of things were on my mind. First thing was Maya leaving me for England and me having to deal with my problems alone.I sighed and faced my ceiling with my hands interlocked on my chest. Could my life get any worse? Another lightening flash accompanied by an angry thunder clap shook the house and made me jerk. If only Tristan was here to sing the thunder buddy song with me. Who was I kidding? He was probably on his bed, sleeping and snoring as loud as a cow.Suddenly, I fe
I rested my back on the bench that was beside the principal's office and tapped my fingers impatiently on it, waiting for Andre to come out from the place I dreaded. I hated going to the principal's office, my reputation was something I never wanted to spoil. Well, the dare thing tarnished my image already.I crossed one leg over the other and glanced around with my lips pursed. The principal was a quiet man, but had this 'don't mess with me' aura around him. I could hear voices in the office and it seemed like they had summoned their parents.I held my head in my hands and maybe this rebound thing was a bad idea. My conscience judged me everyday for wanting to use someone to give me happiness without thinking about his feelings.The sound of the door pulling open jerked me back into reality
Maya and I laid lazily on my couch, watching Ted over and over again till we became tired. Most of the time, Tristan and the thunder buddy song raced through my thoughts. I hadn't been seeing much of him since he saved me from taking a blow.I grabbed the remote and changed the channel to Nickelodeon. My eyes brightened when I saw SpongeBob on screen. Even if I was eighteen, SpongeBob was definitely a cartoon I'd never stop watching. How could anyone be like SpongeBob? He was very annoying and didn't know when to quit, but I still loved him."Did I tell you Tristan came over one rainy day?" I broke the silence, turning my head to face Maya."Nope. He did?" She frowned her face and met my gaze.I sighed and laid upside down on the chair with my hair all over the place."Yeah and he wasn't bad of a company." I stated, trying not to let the fact that Maya would be leaving tomorrow weigh me do
My emotions were all over the place when I reached Tristan's house. I faced the door with both my hands shoved in my pocket before taking a deep breath and pulling one hand out to rap on the door–there was no response. I rapped the second time and still got nothing so I decided to let myself in. Hopefully, Tristan wouldn't kill me for this."Tristan?" I called, shutting the door behind me.I took a gander at the gigantic place and wondered how Tristan stayed alone in a house this huge. His parents were usually busy and I figured they went on business trips a lot so he must be really fearless.Slowly, I climbed up the stairs with my eyes wondering around the place. What if a ghost should appear in front of me? Boy! I would faint."Tri
Lola upraised her head in a dull manner and her Amber eyes lingered on my face before dropping to my shoes."Hi?" I repeated, waving my hand in front of her face and squatting beside her."Hi." Dry toned Lola who focused solely on her chips and ketchup."May I join you?""What do you want from me?" She snapped as if she was slightly irritated."I just want to be friends." I sat beside her and tilted my head, admiring her rich chocolate hair."You saw my nudes and you want to ask if I'd like to be a pornstar or a call girl right?" She asked without raising her head from her tray."What?" I scrunched up my face gazed forward. "No, way. Have they been asking you that?""A lot. Some boys even hit me up on Instagram, asking me to send them nudes and wherever I pass, I hear them gossiping about me." She rubbed her face with one hand in frustrati
"Settle down, minions!" Miss Judy exclaimed, marching into the class with an ugly handbag that was the color of my poop. "Sit upright y'all!" She banged her fist on the desk and we all jerked, fixing our eyes on her. "No talking, no sleeping, no laughing and no bathroom breaks!" She exclaimed and I frowned my face, wondering why she was yelling when we weren't deaf. "Miss Judy." We all groaned at the mention of no bathroom breaks. "Silence!" She glared at us and sat on her chair. "No breathing if possible." She muttered. "But miss Judy what if I need to-" "Did you just speak in my class without asking for permission?" She dramatically took off her glasses and got to her feet. "I'm sorry." I muttered and raised my hand up for permission. "Good." She wore her glasses back and sat elegantly on her chair. "Yes, Miss Parker. You may speak."I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and spoke. "What if I need to use the restroom?" "Tell somebody to lay on the floor so you could pee in the
I sat between Lola and Andre on a couch that was in the centre of a very huge hall that had teenagers dancing and screaming for joy. Andre had his arm around my shoulder and I tried my possible best not seem like I disliked the way he held me even if it was innocent. Lola was a typical wall flower because she clung on to my body and stared in horror at the people playing flip the cup. Was this her first party or something? "I'll be right back." Andre whispered in my ears. He got to his feet and vanished into the crowd of sweaty teens. The disco light changed into several colors and my mind named them as usual. Loud music boomed from the speakers and drinks were flying in every corner.A boy in a black shirt and blue jeans approached us with a friendly expression on his face. He seemed a little shy because he scratched his hair like a thousand times before parting his lips to speak. "Would you-" he hesitated and adjusted his shirt before mustering a small shaky smile. "May I have th
"Andre..." I trailed off, not knowing what to concentrate on.The room was going in circles and my stomach was tying itself in knots, giving me a kind of nausea feeling.Andre refused to acknowledge the fact that I didn't want his fingers going up my panties. I tried to push him off, but he was too strong for me."Andre, stop." I shook internally as Andre pinned me down to bed and trailed wet kisses down my chest.He pushed out my boobs from my bra and sucked on it. I felt plain, there was no volcano erupting in my stomach and I seriously needed to end this.Andre transferred both my hands in one of his and used the other hand to trail down my thighs, reaching for
My heart pounded violently and my throat became dry, I struggled to breathe as I dropped down on my knees, my hand gripping my stomach tight.That was the end, I knew I was going to die someday, but I didn't think it was going to be so soon and by a stalker who I once used as a rebound... Karma was real.Slowly, I bent my head to look at my bleeding stomach, but to my surprise, there wasn't a pool of blood on the floor. I raised my palm to look at it, but there was no sign of blood.But he shot me. My subconscious pointed out and I stared down at my stomach again. No blood.Must be my back.I rubbed on my lower back and viewed my hands for blood, but there was nothing."Oh!" A groan beside me caught my attention and I looked to the right.The saddening sight drilled a hole in my heart. My body shook internally as a frog sat comfortably in my thr
"W-what do you mean by you're here for what is yours?" I stuttered, rigid to the spot as a thousand and one ways he could hurt me flew around my head."You know what I mean..." He drawled, shoving his hands into his pockets. "My bitch."His words stung me and my eyes widened when I realized something. I shook the thought off and laughed."Stop this, it's not April fool's day, is it?" I questioned between laughs and glanced at my wrist watch before taking my gaze back to his face."What does gazing at your wrist watch have to do with this, Jade?" He tilted his head to the right with a mischievous grin playing at the corners of his lips."It shows dates too." I gulped and hoped it was a joke. "Quit scaring me, have you seen Tristan around?"I craned my neck to survey the area, but there was no other person on the building. I used the opportunity of looking for Tristan to take two steps away from him."Not so fast.
Father placed a box of ring in my palms and asked me if it was beautiful enough and if my mother would like it. After inspecting it with my eyes, I nodded and he bought it. We walked out of the jewelry store and I was super excited for both my parents. They had been seeing each other again and I couldn't wait for them to live together under the same roof again.I was depressed. My stalker wanted it to be the death of me, but I refused. He had been sending disturbing messages and pictures of myself in my underwear or even walking into a supermarket. He was following me every where and I never felt safe anymore.My phone rang and it was the same private number. I refused to take the call because I knew it was none other than the bastard that came to this world to frustrate my life.Dad was trying to work on it under ground, but it was moving very slowly because he wasn't using any help. We didn't want the stalker to suspect. I had strongly disagreed for h
Tristan's POVIt had been a while since Jade and I had spoken and I still didn't know what to do. Why I had said Lola's name that day, was a mystery to me. I couldn't just explain what had happened to me. My chest was heavy and I hardly got any sleep these days.I usually didn't sleep till five am then I wake up eight in the morning, very tired and weak like I had been beaten.I rubbed my chin as numerous thoughts raced through my head. I loved her and didn't want to lose her. I had gone to the airport to tell her about how deeply sorry I was for hurting her in anyway, but she chose to ignore me. It really hurt like a nail was used to stab my heart.I sat up on my chair when an idea popped up in my head so I rushed over to book a flight to Manchester. I needed to see the love of my life and I needed to apologise. I wasn't usually a mushy person, but Jade changed me. There was definitely no oth
We got to the house and halted down in front of a shiny Mercedes as instructed by Mr Thompson. It was already five in the evening and I was looking forward to seeing Maya again.She walked out of the house, buttered up in a black stretchy pants and a big tee shirt that had the writing, "daddy's girl" on it. The moment our eyes jammed, she smiled a warm one and waved at me. She adjusted her bucket hat and whispered something to her mom who pointed to her dad that was making a call by the other side of the house.She shrugged like she was saying, "I'd still do it anyway" to her mother. She ran to where I was and hugged me. She squeezed me a little and I patted her head. It was really cute the way our height difference was."Girl!" Jade and Maya exclaimed as they hugged each other so tightly, I feared Jade's big stomach would push out the baby. Goodness!"Careful, do not hurt my child." I pointed, going to separate the two breads buttered
The next morning, she wasn't by my side and I wasn't exactly surprised. I mean, that was what she usually did to me.I got up and headed for the bathroom before dragon Lord came. I didn't want to hear about how he thought the name CeCe suited me because I used hours to prepare for the day.I scrubbed fast and dashed out of the bathroom then put on the uniform. Were we going camping or something?There was a knock on the door and I swore to punch whoever it was. It was early in the morning and they wouldn't even leave me be. They are already by my door, knocking for me to go down stairs and suffer in the hands of that man.He was molesting me! Emotionally and not physically, by the way."Who's that?" I questioned and a British accent made it's way into the room."Mr Thompson wants to see you now." She stated and took her leave after I had told her I was going to be there anytime soon. I walked out of the room and got
I went down to the maid quarters and knocked on the door, waiting patiently for the maid... Was she Nancy or what was her name again? I couldn't remember.The door swung open and a maid with chocolate colored skin stood by the door way. Her eyes were grey just like Jade's, but prettier. Her hair was covered with a black maiden's cap and I could only see her front hair, which was curly. Her eye brows were funnily shaped, but her long lashes complimented her face and I must say, she was very beautiful."Hello?" She smiled and I could have sworn my heart walked out of my chest and threw cat wheels. "Can I help you?""W-well, I'm here to see uhm... What's her name again? She told me Maya's dad wanted to see me, but needed me to do something first." I stuttered then she opened the door so I could see her."Emily!" The maid I was used to exclaimed and the chocolate skinned girl laughed then closed the door so
He clapped his hands, giving me a round of applause and tucked in the sides of his mouth."If it isn't the queen of England." He announced with humor in his eyes. "Do you need us to roll a red carpet on the floor for you?" He asked sarcastically and I chewed the insides of my cheeks. This man was just unbelievable. I couldn't put up with his shit.I stood with my hands behind my back and waited for him to stop his shenanigans so we could go for the morning jog and make it back home on time."Let's leave, CeCe." He gestured his hands for us to run, but I looked behind me, wondering who the hell he was referring to as some CeCe. "You heard me Cameron, your new name is CeCe.""How about I make your new name ass hole?" I mumbled as I shoved my hands into the pocket of my joggers and he turned swiftly."What did you say?" He inquired, halting halfway out of the entrance door and I lied saying, "I sa
"Cameron!" The father yelled and I pulled it of Maya with bug eyes. We both popped our eyes open and looked at each other with fear in our eyes.Instantly, I stood up from the bed and ushered Maya into the bathroom before rushing back out to spray some airwick in the air. I instantly wore my pants then smelt myself before I wore a flat look and went over to the door. I pulled it open and scratched my hair like someone that was confused about what to do with his life."Cam-" he hesitated when he had seen me leaning by the doorway. "Been calling you for like ages. Where did you keep your ears, man?""Sorry, I was asleep." I tried to soun husky. He shoved me a little out of the door way and got into my room.He took a quick scan of the room and his gaze fell on me when he was done with whatever he was doing."Why is there so much airwick in here." He waved his hands as if he was fanning dust away from his face and he coughed a little with a puc
