Winning Walker STEYN
I barged into the house, arms full with the day's shopping and then it hit me that I had gotten in without having to unlock the door which I had locked before stepping out."Mum? You're home already?" I yelled, dumping the bags on the center table and standing by it just in case I needed to run out."Yes." She replied, coming down the stairs.I heaved a sigh of relief."I've been home all day." She continued. "Where did you go?""Out shopping with friends." I replied, pointing to the bags on the table for emphasis."Really?" She replied, her eyes landing on the bags on the table. "You didn't tell me about this friend."I rolled my eyes."You're barely home." I replied. "Besides, it slipped my mind."She sighed, going through the purchases in the bag. "These are all designers." She pointed out."Yes." I replied, anticipating the lecture that was to come."How can you accept this?" She asked, worry etched over her features. "How well do you know this friend? You don't know what they do

"Where have you been all my life?" I said with all seriousness when Kylie called back."Think of the Sky. You'll have your answer." She replied.I paused."What? You didn't see that coming?" She asked.I nodded my head."No, more like wondering why your reply is so cheesy."She laughed."Seriously, Kylie, what happened? Every Time I tried your line, it went straight to voicemail. I was worried.""Sorry." She apologized. "I should have told you but my phone went bad and I didn't have any more means of communicating with you."I nodded in understanding. "I get you. So, how about now? Have you worked it out?""Yeah, sure. Mum just got me a new phone so I'm all good." She replied. "You're settling in fine finally, I guess?"She asked.I nodded in affirmation. And then realizing that she couldn't see me, I spoke up. "Yeah. Sure.""Look at you!" She squealed into the receiver. "You're all grown up."I laughed."Like I wasn't before?"She gritted her teeth. "No, not in that lightThe newbie
Winning Walker SKYE'S I*
Getting ready for school the next morning was total chaos. I struggled to get up from bed and using the bathroom was a total determination.I got to school early because mum had one of her early appointments with the walkers.I met a smiling Luke at the car park and a smug looking Alex."What's up?" I said to both of them and looking at Luke, I asked. "Why's he looking so smug?""He hates Mondays." Luke replied."Welcome to the club bro." I patted his back and swatted off Luke's hand when he attempted to pat my head.Alex eyed me wearily without saying anything and then grinned."If that was someone else, you'll definitely be six feet in the ground now and buried.""But because it's me?" I asked, taking a turn left and entering into the hallway, Alex and Luke by my side.I noticed that every now and then, students who had formed where talking in whispers and looking our way."I think we should part Ways here." I told them. "I don't like the stares I get whenever I'm around you two.""R
Winning Walker SHE'S DYING
It turned out that Ruby and I shared the same homeroom. She was just messing with my head!"Do you want to come around after class?" She asked. "It's so boring having to stay at home with just Alex."I laughed. "How about your older brothers?"She rolled her eyes. "They're barely home." She whined. "Please."She clasped her hands together and gave me the puppy dog eye which I couldn't resist."Alright, I'll go. But it's not a promise." I told her. "I need to ask my mum first.""I'm sure she'll say yes." Ruby replied."I'm sure whatever it is you're discussing can wait till after homeroom." Mr. Darius, our homeroom teacher said to us.Alex scoffed. "Yeah. I agree with Mr. Darius for once. The class is boring already as it seems, if you two keep talking and interrupting his class, it means we're doomed forever."Mr Darius turned red In embarrassment as the class erupted into laughter.I rolled my eyes. This boy was painfully annoying.One look at Mr. Darius told me that he was already t

"Jenner didn't mean what she said about you dying, you know that right?" I said to Ruby during gym.She smiled. "Ofcourse, Jenner likes to talk shit. I guess she's still bitter."I nodded. "I like to tell myself that she's not worth the hassle.""Definitely." Ruby agreed."We're dividing ourselves into teams for the hundred meter hurdle today. Pick your partner's." Coach said, stepping into the gym.There was a lot of murmuring and disagreement, obviously.I wasn't the only one who hated gym.I stood, contemplating which team to join , when I noticed that Jenner was picking girls for her team. Wasn't it supposed to be consensual?Like, I thought you were supposed to pick a team you wanted to be on?I shrugged, brushing the thought aside. A loud snarl drew my attention to where Ruby stood glaring at Jenner."What's wrong?" I asked. "If eyes could kill, yours would.""That bitch Jenner. She's taking the best girls in hurdling to be on her team!!"Oh? I raised a brow. So that was it? Trus
Winning Walker I'LL KISS YOU TILL YOU DROP!!
" Why's he the one picking us up?" I asked Ruby, on our way to the car park."Who?" She asked, sticking a stray hair behind her ears."Sky ofcourse." I rolled my eyes. "Stop pretending like you don't know."She giggled. "Ok. Sorry. But can you drive?""No?" I replied rhetorically."Sky's picking me up because I can't drive. Alex said he had somewhere to go to with Luke.""Oh. Okay." I said, not wanting to drag the topic on further. "Is he here yet already?""Uhhhrrmm-" her words caught in her throat. "I guess.""You guess?" I repeated,."Yeah sure." She nodded. "You see the blue Tesla over there? Looks like his but we won't know by just standing here."They must really come from money. I shrugged. Why would he even drive a Tesla to school where he knows there were lots of fangirls?He's such a show off. "Alright." I replied. "Let's get going before I change my mind.""No you wouldn't." She pinched my cheeks. "You don't have to be so shy, you know?"I laughed, pausing my lips. "What
Winning Walker WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MOUTH?
"Hey! Why would you do that? Aren't you bothered by some people's safety at all? If you don't love yourself, you should consider others!" I yelled, running to catch up with Sky.When he kept on walking with no sign of remorse, I got agitated even more and pulled him backwards by the shirt.I guess I took him unawares by that pull, because he missed a step and staggered backwards, almost tumbling us both down.I gasped, half my anger dissipating and meaning to apologize when he yanked me by my collar and pushed me, causing my back to crash into a wall.I writhed in pain, my eyes widening in shock at his seemingly dilated pupils that held unfathomable emotions."Don't ever do that again." He warned, taking long and purposeful strides towards me.The anger I felt dissipated fully and I recoiled backwards, trying to find a way to get out of the mess."Well you shouldn't have driven like that!" I yelled at him, and wished that I hadn't at the same time because he kept coming closer and c
Winning Walker YOU'RE ALWAYS FLUSTERED
It was difficult to stop the heat of embarrassment from spreading across my face.I blushed lightly as Ruby pulled me through the door and into a room filled with giggling boys."My brother's." She said, "I'm sure you've met them?""Uh." I nodded, taking my mind back to their i***a comments and trying to recall their names. "Yeah. I've met all of them.""Such a sharp brain." One of her brothers looked up. "What's my name then?" He asked.I smirked and rolled my eyes. Was he trying to tease me! Okay. I arched my back."Dustin." I said."Uh-huh!!" He exclaimed. "You looked flustered the first time you came over, and even today too, so I didn't think you'd remember."I blushed lightly. So kind of him to point that out. "Easy peasy." I smiled, giving him the mini heart.He winked at me, laughing. "Is there something about us that makes you flustered?" He raised an eyebrow.At the question, they all raised their eyes to look at me.I raised a finger in the air, brought it down and took it u

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.
