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 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 STEYN
I stood in front of the long dressing mirror admiring my look that morning.it was going to be my first day in a new school and I was not prepared. That feeling of being a newbie again, found somewhere to sit in the pit of my stomach and did a good job of upsetting me.I rolled my eyes when my best friend giggled over the receiver after hearing my complain yet again."Who the fuck builds a school, and after careful years of thinking, names it, The school for the rich?" I asked my only friend Kylie. "I just wished mum left me In Russia. Cause what's all this?" I complained bitterly."OMG, Steyn!!" She screamed over the receiver, "You just used the F word and it's so unbelievable." She laughed. "Where's that place at again?"I rolled my eyes. "Of everything I've said, you only picked up the F word, right. Well it's in a small town called Gryffindor in New Jersey. I believe everyone knows each other and that's the hardest part.""How's that the hardest part?" She asked curiously. "Plus, y
Winning Walker NOT SO BAD
It undoubtedly was a school for the rich.The entire premises had tall buildings flanking each other. The floor was made of marbles and everyone wore uniforms like mine.A white shirt tucked into a short plaid skirt, a while socks and black shoes. For the boys, it was a white shirt tucked into navy blue pants and tie.On the floor was the inscription"Welcome back to school." I was wrapped up in my thoughts, thinking the school wasn't bad at all , when I bumped into a solid wall that almost sent me spiraling to the floor but for my strong balance. I looked up, ready to cuss and found four pairs of eyes staring down at me. Four pairs of eyes that fit beautifully into perfectly chiseled faces stared back at me. Compared to the owners of these eyes I was a dwarf.They had bodies that could put an Abercrombie model to shame. I put out my hand instinctively to the one I'd run into to gain balance, only for him to shift stance, and I staggered forward.Thankfully, there was no student body

WALKER"You said something?" I asked the petite girl sitting next to me."No." She turned to say but realizing whom it was her eyes bulged."So you speak?" She asked.I picked offence, feeling insulted."That's supposed to be funny, because, hahahaha it's not funny." I replied."You can start by apologizing." I said to cover up for sounding rude."I already tried to, but your right hand man wouldn't let me." She said furrowing her brows and shaking her Head."You didn't try hard." I told her."Maybe if you'd said something, it'd have been better. All you did was play dumb, and look, I've coined a name for you." She told me, spiking my interest.I laughed at the way she kept her face, her small lips, forming a pout."Dumb friend." She said, inciting more laughter from my end.That was absurd, honestly. I don't think anyone has ever called me dumb, ever. Except maybe, Luke, my best friend."You didn't." I said, running a hand over my face."Found something funny, Walker?" Darius, the En
Winning Walker STEYN
STEYN"Nice of you to join us, Steyn Robert." The bored looking middle aged woman sang, the minute I stepped foot in Biology class. "I heard you make it a habit of going to class late."I shrugged. "I'm a new student ma. I'm not supposed to know all the hallways on my first day at school. I'm sorry all the same." "Such a rattle mouth!" She muttered under her breath. "Before you sit, you'll answer one question, if you can't, you'll stand outside till my class it's over."I shrugged and just kept mute."What substance is the hardest in the human body?" She asked."The dentine." I smirked. "The dentine is the hardest substance in the body of a mammal. Can I sit now?" "Ofcourse." She smiled. "Take the seat by Mr. Dawson.'"A new nerd?" Someone cajoled from the back."Should we tell her about Emily houston?" Someone else piped in.For whatever reason that last comment, incited bouts of laughter from the whole class.I clenched and unclenched my fist. They didn't know the kind of stuff I
Winning Walker GYM
GYMHonestly, what would I do without my map? I thought as I maneuvered my way, trying to locate the ladies locker room, when I stumbled into someone."Hello." I called out to her, "I think I'm lost.""Oh! Hi." She replied smiling. "Where are you headed?""The ladies locker room. I have gym in like ten minutes." I said, secretly admiring her long legs and auburn hair.She had warm hazel eyes and spotted freckles on her cheeks. Her nose were long and pointed, I wondered what her boyfriend went through whenever they tried to kiss. he probably had long nose like hers, I though and shrugged."Right." She grinned, drawing my attention to the braces she wore. "I'm headed there too. My name's Ruby.""I'm Steyn." I replied, thinking of how nice she sounded. "Nice to cross paths with you, Ruby.""I know your name." She smiled. "You probably didn't notice, but we shared the same homeroom and biology class together.""Not to make you feel bad." I said apologetically, after trying unsuccessfully
Winning Walker RUBY
RUBYThe first thing you'll probably notice about this girl was her height. I'd call it average, rather than tall.She was very pretty and smiled brightly. She had long black hair and an athletic body.She was free spirited and outgoing. My brothers would like this one, I thought.I was a bit surprised when she said she had not yet heard about the Grace's of Gryffindor.Nobody said that. I found this very interesting.The whole school knew about the Grace's of Gryffindor. Not only were they popular, they were the most handsome of all the guys in Gryffindor. To think they where my brothers. I shrugged it off, like it was some forbidden thought."Gryffindor is made from a long line of royalties. It's like a generational thing." I told her. "I'm mostly confused about it myself.""I'm sure I won't get confused." She replied, doing the high plank ."You've met walker?" I asked her."I have. We technically bumped into each other in the worst ways ever." She replied.I grinned, knowing what

"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.
