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

    The sight of my mum's beat up truck sitting quietly in our driveway reminded me so much of the one in the Walker's driveway.Even Luke noticed it, judging from the way his lips quirked and his eyes narrowed a little to the left."I thought that beat up truck seemed a little out of place in the garage." He murmured slightly."That's my mum's truck you're talking about. Be careful." I warned."Well what was it doing in the Walker's house?" He questioned."It wasn't hers!" I yelled at him from exhaustion. "Thank you for driving me home." I thanked him and stepped out of the car."Aren't you going to ask me in? It's so chill out here. You could offer me a cup of coffee, you know." He asked.This boy was really something. I shook my head."You're a cup full of problems. Don't even think of unbuckling that seatbelt because I'm not letting you in." I told him when I saw his hands move to his seatbelt. "You're so mean. Do you know what other girl's would do to be in your place?""Yenyen ye

    The next morning found me turning and tossing on my bed.Instinctively, I jerked off the bed, sitting up almost immediately. The clock by my bedside table read ten o'clock which meant I was late for school.I groaned, placing a head on my head and then I recalled it was the weekend."Fuck." I muttered.That single act of jerking awake cost me a serious headache. I fell heads-up back on my bed, still groaning.I sighed, remembering that I was going to be home all by myself today, at least until when my mum came home in the evening.I racked my brain for what to do throughout the whole day. Calling Kylie was out of the question. Throughout the entire time I called her, it all went straight to voicemail. I could do my assignment but I wouldn't use the entire day for that, right?Calling friends was also out of the question, because who would I call?I sighed all over and over again, thinking how pathetic my life was.I started off by brushing my teeth and having my bath, then breakfast.

    RUBY'S POV.Watching Steyn bicker was sweet and by the time we were done shopping I was over excited that I thought I would die from it.It was worth it. I thought, recalling to memory all that had happened yesterday after I got home.Nana had rushed over to me, whining and smiling sadly."How are you, fairest of all Rubies." She'd asked tagging behind me as I made way into my room.I rolled my eyes, trying to recall The number of times I had told her to not call me that. It sounded so ancient and cliche."Don't call me that, Nana." I smiled faintly. "I'm good, I just need to rest. I'll be alright.""You look so pale." She observed, placing a hand on my forehead. "You're right. You should rest. But don't you need anything to eat or drink?""I'm fine Nana. Hunger is the least of my worries right now." I replied, raising my feets off the floor to lie properly on the bed. "My brothers, are they still around?" "Certainly." She replied, covering my legs properly with the duvet. "They wou

    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

    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   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

    "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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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.
