Winning Walker STEYN
STEYN Reminiscing, I made myself a cup of coffee and took it upstairs to my room to calm down my nerves.Fact about this thing called life is that you'll always meet people that differ. There would always be that one person who'd change you, the one who'd challenge you, one with a different perspective of everything you stand for.Whatever the situation was, letting myself get bullied wasn't among the plan. I was always the wrong person to be picked on.My legs raised high enough to reach the roof, I giggled, talking with Kylie over the phone."You slapped someone?" Kylie asked for the third time in seconds, like it was something unfathomable."I didn't think it would happen on my first day at school." I confided. "Think of it as a necessary evil.""Can you go over what led to this scene again?" Kylie pleaded."I won't." I replied curtly. "You're so into anything that's gossip." "This one is different. You just have some drama in your life after complaining nonstop about that place.

STEYNI awoke to the sound of my alarm ringing my ears off.The hardest part of sleeping was waking up and I'm not joking.It was already past eight and I was still dragging bed with my duvet. On a second thought, the house was awfully quiet.My mum was so tired that she slept in? Way to go! I grimaced.The thought of surprising her with the fact that I myself, can wake up without her chewing off my ears and tearing down the door with her complaints got me excited, and soon enough, I was on my feet.The plan was simple. I would use the bathroom, get ready for school and then make us breakfast. The idea of breakfast in bed for my mother popped up in my head a while later, and soon enough I found myself in the kitchen.I wasn't much of a make up person, do I didn't bother myself with that but the excitement building up in my insides was so much, I felt that I would use a little bit of mascara, eyeliner and lipglossBreakfast in bed.I strutted into the kitchen and made my way to the fr

STEYN"How could you leave like that?" Luke asked, taking long strides towards me."Can you stop getting on my nerves already?" I asked. "You really weren't joking about me waiting for you to answer your phone?""I wasn't." He replied."My bad, young master." I eyed him. "Next time, ask me to wait on you while you use the toilet.""Don't be so grumpy," He replied, draping his hands around my neck. "I'm clingy."I cringed. This guy was dragging attention our way and didn't seem to be bothered. I poked him on the ribs to get him to release his grip on me but to no avail."You can't say something like that." I replied, agitated. "Isn't your homeroom the other way?" I pointed in the opposite direction."Yes. But I'll see you to your class first. Walker isn't going to be in school today. So you're stuck with me for the rest of the day."I sighed. He was becoming overbearing."I'm not." I replied. "We share separate classes, lunch and we use different routes , how can we be stuck together?
Winning Walker STEYN
STEYN.Sitting alone for all my classes, felt like an entire eternity had passed. Enduring the snide remarks and disgusting looks people threw my way was suffocating me.At that moment, I understood what it felt like to have a friend. Not just a friend, someone you could sit with and talk about random things, someone like Ruby.Not like I was bothered about the incessant things they were saying without even bothering to hide the fact, I was just a little bit concerned.First of all, I didn't like Walker in that manner. This was my redemption.I couldn't believe that Ruby and I talked for almost the entire day without exchanging contact. It was crazy.I got worried, thinking about why she wasn't in school because she didn't strike me as one who would skip school.My thoughts raced with various reasons as to why when I began hearing snippets of conversations from around me."I feel for jenner. That bitch just materializes out of nowhere and decides to sink her ship with Walker?" One sa

STEYN"Are you going to explain to me the scenario I just experienced out there?" I asked Luke the moment we stepped out of the cafeteria."Relax Steyn. I was helping you, you know?" He said.It was almost difficult keeping up with his long strides, I had to hasten my place to keep up with him."Yeah. You were." I replied sarcastically. "Superman to the rescue. I'm grateful.'"You're welcome." He grinned."That wasn't a compliment.""That's bad." He furrowed his brow. "I took it as one."Psst." I shook my head at his annoying behavior and hastened my pace."Don't be so mad." He caught up with me. "That was the only way I knew to make you feel more at ease."The sincerity in his eyes made me heave."Whatever." I brushed him off."I wasn't joking when I asked if you'll love to come with me to Walker's.""Really Luke?" I looked at him in disbelief. "If it was a joke, it would be better.""What do you mean?" He asked in confusion."On what grounds do I visit Walker's house?" I asked him.
Winning Walker STEYN.
From a close up distance, Luke pointed out the Walker's house to me. It was the only building on that lane and the most outstanding.The Walker's house sat prettily on a lonely lane called oakwood. From here, I could see the roofing sheet, shoot high and proud.The tall trees standing flamboyantly and proudly, seemed to shrink as we got closer.The entire floor was made of marble and the walls that held up the gate were made of mahogany wood."Their home is beautiful." I muttered."You should come here at night." Luke smiled. "It's even more beautiful then.'"Why is that?" I asked."The house seems to glow and the blue color of the glass house radiates." He told me."Oh, it's a glass house?" I asked."Haven't you noticed?" He asked, and as if a thought just occurred to him, he looked me over. "You're short. I forgot.""Don't spoil the mood." I warned. "Drive faster, so I get a clearer view."The gates opened when we got close and closed when we were inside.From here, I got a clear vie

STEYN"Here." Nana said, offering me a drink with a smile."Thank you." I said quietly, retrieving the drinking glass. "Why's your name Nana?"Quietly, she took the vacant space close to me on the patio and began."I've lived with the Walker's for over twenty years of my life. Ever since Sky was a kid and have served as a nanny to all of them." She told me. "I've been such a huge part of their life, that the kids forget I'm not even a part of their family. They're nice people."I smiled, nodding my head."I came because Luke said Ruby asked me to." I confided in her, feeling more at ease with myself. "I've barely been one week here and I've known Ruby for a day or two?" I ended my statement with a question mark, trying to recall if Ruby and I got to talk for two days at all. Or was it one?"When Ruby came home from school on the first day of resumption, she wouldn't stop talking about the new girl she had just met. In a way, it made me happy, because I believe every child should hav

Waving Nana a final goodbye, I got in the passenger seat beside Luke and slammed the door so hard that he jerked in fright."What the fuck!!" He yelled. "What did you do that for?" He asked."Isn't that my line?" I asked."You got my heart skipping two beats there." He placed a palm on his chest."Honestly, " I gave him the I'm not joking look. "I don't like today's happenings at all.""What are you talking about?" He feigned Innocence."Really?" I looked at him."Yeah."I rolled my eyes. "Just drive. You're not worth stressing over.""That hurt." He said, killing the engine and bowing his head over the steering wheel."Really? Just drive or I'm going to get out and walk!!" I yelled, getting agitated by the minute.For emphasis, I got out of the car, slammed the door shut in his face and began walking to wherever.Remembering that I'd left the cookies Nana gave in his car, I walked back and got them out.Knowing Luke, he would probably eat them and call to tell me that he had eaten it

Winning Walker TALKING IT THROUGH
As I walked away, my heart pounded with a mix of anger and confusion. The weight of my confrontation with Skye settled heavy in my chest. I didn’t look back; I couldn’t afford to. The memory of his eyes, cold and piercing, lingered in my mind. How had we ended up here, tangled in this bizarre dance of denial and frustration?The fluorescent lights of the hallway blurred past me as I hurried toward the exit. I needed air, to breathe outside the suffocating atmosphere that felt like it was closing in. Ruby’s situation echoed in my mind, a reminder of the fragility of life and how I was wasting my energy on a boy who thrived on chaos.Outside, the night was cool, the stars barely visible through the urban haze. I found a bench and sat down, letting my thoughts spiral. How could Skye have the audacity to flirt with me while his girlfriend was presumably waiting for him? It was infuriating, and yet... there was something intoxicating about the way he challenged me.“Steyn?” A voice broke t
Winning Walker HURTFUL WORDS
It wasn't a bad thing to cry, but I didn't want to do it in front of her. She could break down or think that I was pitying her. I would think the same thing if I were her. Ruby was a nice girl that it hurt me so much to even bring myself to ask the type of cancer she had.I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice until I had bumped into Skye who was standing hands akimbo directly in front of me."What the f…..!" I yelled, "Do you just purposely stand in front of someone and hope they bump into you?" I sneered and continued on my way when he flashed a smile at me."No. Just in front of you." He retorted.At his statement, the sadness I felt from earlier dissipated into something intense. Something that made my heart beat faster than normal and caused it to constrict. I was angry. And it was a good thing."What did you say?" I halted. "Correct me if I'm wrong but is that flirting I sense in your tone?"He grinned but it only fueled my anger. He must really think I'm stupid. Of C
Winning Walker MORE THAN THAT TO SCARE ME OFF
"That's my ma." I said, adjusting my skirts and finding a place to sit beside Ruby on the bed. "I know. She told me." Ruby replied. I nodded and swallowed, sensing her discomfort. "Or you're worried she told me something,"I said, "She didn't." She nodded and then asked, "Why did you come?" Without looking me in the eyes. "Errrm, I couldn't reach you?" I said, sounding like I wasn't sure it was enough reason and shrugged, "I wanted to check that you're okay. Nobody was telling me anything when I asked after you." She gulped and said, "thank you." I squeezed her palms to let her know that it was fine like I'd seen in movie scenes, "Why did you shave your hair?" I asked the most pressing question on my mind. She smiled and answered, "I've always been like this." And after a while added, "Can you help me open the last closet on your left?" I got up and strolled over to her closet, opening it as she asked; an auburn wig fell out. Not thinking much about it, I picked it up and was ab
Winning Walker AGAIN
It was exhilarating to think of how he switched from being this cool and sensible guy to the total opposite in minutes, I thought, barging into my house.I dumped my bag on the cushion and scurried into the kitchen to look for something to drink."Whoosh!" I yelled, thumping loudly on the table. It was difficult thinking straight when you had other things on your mind.Dumping the cup In the sink, I made a u-turn and headed straight to my room. There was no school for me today and I intended to spend the day sleeping.Seeing Kylie again gave me some sort of happiness I thought as I lay wide awake in bed, thinking of the list of things I had to do.The most pressing one, being how I intended to tell my mom about it. Just thinking about it gave me shivers. My imagination ran wild, thinking about the way she would react. Good thing was I didn't plan on telling her about it anytime soon, so I pushed the thought aside.Also, introducing Ruby to her was on that list but for the past few wee
Winning Walker THE LAST EMPEROR
Promising kylie that I would stop by in the evening to see her the next day, I got in the passenger side of Skye's car and we drove off.After the conversation with Skye and me last night, everything didn't just feel right. If anything, I felt like I had been played all along or was used the right thing to say?I wanted to talk about it but I couldn't think of a way to bring it up without sounding lost.We rode in silence for a long time until Skye said, "home, right?"I nodded, not trusting my voice."Okay." He said again, not taking his eyes off the road."Do you think you can take me to see Kylie tomorrow?" I asked."Sure. Why not?" He looked at me for the first time that day."Nothing." I retorted. "I just wanted to make sure.""I can make time for that." He nodded. "Music?" He asked."Yeah." I smiled."What's your preference?" He asked, smiling at me."Hip hop?" I retorted rhetorically, grinning. "Anything to nod to.""I got you." He smiled, turning on the volume. "Uh, I don't t
Winning Walker A JOKE
"You know, when I first got pregnant, I was scared and didn't even know what to do." Kylie told me, taking off the waist trainer to reveal a red long mark around her tummy caused by the waist trainer. "I cried my eyes most days and avoided going out because I thought that people would notice my bump.""I doubt." I piped in. "Your tummy is so small, and you don't look pregnant."She nodded, smiling. "I know that, Steyn. Soon, I discovered that I couldn't stay indoors anymore and I had to go to school so I began using the waist trainer." She sighed, looking at me. It wasn't easy at all because I struggled with the urge to puke every second and the not so comfortable condition I was in. But it helped." She looked at me one last time."It's all okay now." I took the waist trainer from her and rubbed her shoulder. "You have me now, so you don't have to worry about anything."Turning, I looked around for Skye, seeking some sort of reaffirmation from him, but it seemed he'd gone farther into
Winning Walker PERCEIVERS
It was as Skye had said.Kylie stood in front of the Jet with her luggages in front of her. She had packed neatly and was looking smart, not pregnant."Kylie?" I muttered under my breath before taking to my heels.Sighting me from afar off, her lips parted open and then split into a beautiful smile.."Steyn?" She said with raised brows, enveloping me into a warm hug, "it's only been a few months and you're already grown."I smiled. "You can stop teasing me now." I told her, "I've missed you so much!" I hugged her tightly, feeling her shiver next to me and she hugged me back…very tightly so."I know." She replied. "Oh my god!""You're doing fine, right?" I asked.Sighing, she replied, "I'm good. Just still trying to believe that you'll go this length for me. How did you do it?"I smiled. "Let's just say I have my ways." I winked at her.Telling her about Skye and I wasn't something I dreamt about, I couldn't even bring myself to do it because I was scared that she'd see me in another
Winning Walker BRINGING KYLIE HOME
Swirling around the mirror for the last and checking my outfit to make sure that it was suitable for a ride to the airport, I blew my reflection a kiss.I put on an ash maxi skirt that sat prettily on my waist, below my navel button and a crop top that barely passed my chest region and a black platform heels to complete the outfit.Skye was due to drop by any minute. He had called earlier to inform me that Kylie had landed successfully.Hearing the news had made me squeal and immediately called Kylie after Skye had dropped his call."Were you ever going to tell me that you're in my town?" I said to Kylie."I wanted to surprise you." She'd replied, "But I guess, that's not happening anytime soon anymore.""You bet." I laughed. "There was no way your surprise would have worked out anymore, because I was still going to pick you up."We'd talked and gossiped some more, while I busied myself with getting ready.I smiled and shook my head, when my cell phone rang. It was skye calling. "I'm
Winning Walker AWKWARDNESS
After my reply, the awkwardness that loomed over the atmosphere was in its full glory. Even Skye, felt it.For the first time since we met each other, he couldn't meet my eyes and had suddenly developed unstable feets."Mr. Skye, not so confident anymore?" I teased, a small smile lingering on my face.He gave a low throaty laugh. "Nothing like that. I just don't know how to react, now that you said yes.""Yeah?" I ran my hands through the fabric of his shirt, my hands lingering too long in his chest. "You don't sound as brave as you always do." I bit down my bottom lips."I guess I wasn't prepared for what to do after you said yes.""You knew I was going to say yes?" I raised my brows."Not really. Let's say I had a feeling." He retorted."While you think of what to do and what not, can we talk about kylie?""Kylie?" It was his turn to raise his brows."Kylie. My friend. The reason why I consented to this thing." I flicked him on his forehead and watched him grunt."I didn't forget.
