Whispers of the Heart Reprieve
Given the morning so far, I welcomed the carefree, albeit slightly immature antics of the freshman and sophomore students that I seemed to be sharing my Health and Wellness class with. It was as if they didn’t have a care in the world. In some ways, I guess they didn’t. Not on the scale that a senior would and definitely not on the scale of my burdens and responsibilities.Watching them push and shove and play silly pranks on one another, I realized I had missed something by not attending high school all four years and by taking on adult responsibilities at such a young age. I missed the opportunity to be a child, to just live in the moment and know that someone else would take care of things and look out for me.Part of me knew this was missing all along and that’s the greatest reason I push so hard for Nate to have a normal childhood. I want him to know that he can fall and I will be there to pick him up. He can make mistakes and take chances and he never has to worry if I will be th

“It was, actually.” I answered truthfully as I looked up into the eyes of Owen Marshall and watched him smile, happy with my answer. “I had just figured out in my head how to get through the rest of the day without being around you and I was foolishly smiling in triumph. Now, you’ve just ruined all of my plans and I’m back to the drawing board again!”His face fell and I felt bad for a second before I remembered the terrible things he had said. He stood there holding a wrapped sandwich and fries in one hand and his fountain drink in the other. He let out a deep sigh as he shook his head.“Can I sit here beside you?”“You can sit wherever you want, Owen. This is a free country. But I can’t guarantee you I will stay sitting here if you do.”I knew I was being a brat but for once, I was enjoying it. Was this a product of being pushed a little too far? Was this me just being totally honest with someone without any worries of the repercussions?“Fair enough.” He answered as he sat down. I m

Sitting in the back, mixed in with a class of sophomores and juniors, I spent most of the entire class processing. His words, his touch. That bold statement that he wasn’t going to give up until he got to know me. My overwhelming need for him to be trustworthy. The worst thing about trusting someone, especially with your heart is that is also the same person that could destroy it if they chose to.Could I trust Owen Marshall or was this a game, a quest he was on? I set out this year to take risks, to live my life beyond just the four walls of the little white-sided house we live in. This was what I essentially signed up for. Take the leap of faith, the dive off into the deep end, the free fall from the airplane. Risking my heart and falling in love felt all the same to me.Anyone I had ever loved had left me at one point or another. Even Nate would find the day that he no longer chose me first and he would leave. I had survived all of that so surely I could survive if this thing with O

I shook my head. “No, sir. I won’t care a bit. I just don’t know if something will be important or not.”He brushed it off with a lighthearted chuckle. “You can ask these knuckleheads in here. They should know if I need to keep something or not. Put them to work, too. Get up and do what she tells you, all three of you.” He said that as he walked past me and out of the office to start the class.As soon as he was out of earshot, Gary stepped over in my personal space as I saw Owen tense up. “What should we do first, BOSS?”I wasn’t about to let him get to me so I looked him right in the eye as I answered.“Well, FIRST. Grab that banker’s box on top of the filing cabinet there and pick up all the papers out of the floor and put them in there. We can go over them and decide if it needs kept or not once we have everything else organized. I will start with organizing the desk.”I strolled carefully through the papers, careful to not slip and sat down in the same chair Mr. Lawrence had just

I made it to the bathroom between the gym and the cafeteria without anyone seeing me. I was thankful it was empty, too. I found a stall and ducked inside, shutting the door behind me. The tears continued as my whole body was wracked with sobs, finally letting go of all of the hurt I had held in all day.I usually wasn’t this emotional. The timing of my upcoming cycle, the emotional upheaval of the last few weeks and the exhausting emotional roller coaster I had been on today just created this perfect storm where I already knew I was on the verge of a breakdown. Danny yelling at me had just been the straw that broke the camel’s back.I couldn’t even blame Gary for this one. I had actually felt better once I got everything off of my chest with him and he had asked to start over. He had even kept me from falling when I slipped. If this one was on anyone, the blame needed to fall on Owen.Owen’s outburst had surprised me in the moment but even that was typical knowing that Owen had alread

Danny shook his head with a scoff. “You might have a point there. Gossip is the fuel that heats this place. You’re on her good side right now so we wouldn’t want to do anything to change that.”“I’m on her good side? She has been nothing but nasty to me!”“That’s just how she is until you get to know her. Vanessa has a fierce loyalty to her that is hard to penetrate and she protects her circle like a lioness. But she hasn’t called you a bitch and hasn’t told me that she hates you so yeah, you are on her good side.” He answered as Courtney nodded a confirmation.“I guess I will have to take your word for it.” I answered without looking back at him. I kept my head down, just staring at my shoes.“Listen,” Danny started. “I owe you an apology and I do apologize for yelling at you like that. It was uncalled for but it was as much for your safety as it was to get you out of there so we could get both of them to calm down.”I turned slightly to look up at him. “You called me a distraction.

Courtney took this opportunity to speak up. “We all saw it happen but didn’t know what to do about it. I think that was one reason Vanessa stepped in and gave you a hard time about the water. I know you and her kinda clashed there but we needed something to break up the tension between those two.”Danny sighed. “But, it didn’t even stop there. We stayed longer than we should have because neither of them would be the first one to get up to leave. Then there was the bickering over the check. We all pitched in for our own but those two wanted to butt heads over who actually took the check. Owen grabbed it first and refused to even let Gary see it. Finally, Gary stomped off and we all followed him but not before I saw Owen write something to you on it. That was what the whole power bit was over, who would be the one to have the last contact with you.”“I’m sorry but that’s a little immature on both their parts.”Danny laughed. “Believe me, we all couldn’t agree more.

Danny took his cell phone out of his pocket, held up his finger to let me know he heard me but needed a minute and sent a text before he put it back and looked back at me with a smile. That smile that said he was smitten so I didn’t even have to guess the recipient of that text.“Bell is getting ready to ring. Just sent my girl a text to let her know where we are. She’ll be up here with Bethany in just a couple minutes.”My heart thumped hard in my chest and I was nervous again. That girl was intimidating! Even though I now had a little better understanding of Vanessa, I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to see her but what choice did I have?“To answer your question, I can’t speak for how he sees you or how he feels about you but yes, you can trust Owen. He’s a solid guy and honestly, I’ve never really seen him give many girls the time of day. Trust me, being a football player around here is like being royalty so being the quarterback is like being a king. Owen’s past and all those detai

Whispers of the Heart Two Different Worlds
We maintained a comfortable silence as we walked together toward the student entrance I had used to come in this morning. Owen held the door open for me as we left and I smiled and thanked him. Most everyone had cleared out of the building, not wasting any time getting to their vehicles or to the bus to leave. There was nothing like that end of school day freedom feeling.Owen kept pace right with me, meaning he had to walk slower than I knew he normally would.“Sorry I am walking so slow. I’m not used to wearing anything but comfortable shoes and these are killing my feet.”He looked down at my feet before looking back up at me with a dimpled grin.“They look sexy as hell, if that helps any.”“Not a bit.” I laughed as I gave him a playful shove.“Wanna hop on my back?”“In this skirt? Yeah, right.”“I know I would enjoy it.” He said as his gaze raked up my body.A shudder of excitement ran through me as he flashed that dimpled grin again when our eyes met but this time, he was biting
Whispers of the Heart My Assignment
Mrs. Laughlin was cool and had a laid back personality. She treated us more like equals than students, something we all appreciated. She was in her mid-thirties with blond hair styled in a pixie cut. She wore black framed glasses and had a real ‘soccer mom’ vibe to her, which made sense when she informed us that she was a mom to three little boys ages eight, four and two.She dove straight in with assignments as she said we were only two weeks away from the first football game of the season. She had us all write down on an index card our availability after school and on weekends. Since the class was generally reserved for seniors only, there were only fifteen people signed up total. That number included Owen, who missed the class serving his afternoon detention.“Aurora!” She called as she looked up at me, waving my index card in her hand. “I am assigning you to cover the football games. You have availability on Friday nights, according to your card. Home and away games. For all away
Whispers of the Heart Have That Conversation Soon
“Phil is my legal guardian. He did it so I wouldn’t end up in foster care and so I wouldn’t be separated from my little brother. I haven’t told Owen any of this either. I will once we actually get two minutes alone to actually talk but I would appreciate it if you all not tell him and let me on my terms. Guess I could say my first request to see if I can trust you all or not.”“Where’s your dad?” Bethany asked.“I don’t know. My mom had me while she was still in high school and would never tell anyone who he was. That’s the basic outline of my life. Orphan or might as well be. Phil took me in the night I called him to come and get Nate, my little brother. Phil had no clue how to take care of a kid and hadn’t spent any time with Nate. Again, long story. I stayed home the last three years taking care of my baby brother. I have taken care of him since the day he was born. He started Preschool and I started my Senior year.”“You’ve been like a mom since you were fourteen years old?” Court
