"Just checking." He smirked again before pulling himself away from the lockers and making his way towards the cafeteria, the same direction I was walking in and towards the exact same table. I sat down in my usual spot a short few seconds after Josh placed himself to the other end of the table, a
"Shotgun!" My hand was freshly wrapped against the door handle of Tyler's car as the obnoxious sound of Valentina's continued habit, interrupted my hearing. "Shotgun means I'm up front. Better luck next time." She sent me a wink as I stuck my tongue out at her and opened up the car to the backseats
We all somewhat agreed and began getting changed for the beach, using the only mismatched bikini I had brought with me which was unfortunately white bikini bottoms and a red bikini top. "It was the only thing I could find last minute." I complained as a reply to April and Valentina's confused and wa
We all remained in the water for a couple more hours, playing games and acting like the children that we still wished to be before we finally made our way back towards the house, bringing grains of sand with us when we stepped inside and retreated into our rooms. "Only three minutes of shower water
"Finished!" April shouted and heavily pressed the last shot glass down onto the counter. "I think I need to sit down." She saluted to the rest of us before pulling up a seat and settling with sips of the alcoholic drink in front of her. "Truth or dare?" Tyler suggested as he held up the empty vodka
Josh's eyes would continue to bore against mine, his burning gaze threatening to defeat the one glaring back at him. I met his smirk to my obvious discomfort and determination to get him to stop looking at me. However, it posed as the soft reminder for how Josh had reacted when I said I would've ki
Everyone stepped outside and began counting down in synch, eventually reaching the last ten seconds when my eyes caught Josh's again. I'd almost forgotten about the pit at the bottom of my stomach that would form when our eyes met. He stepped around the group, all concentrated on the sky where fir
However, I could guarantee that a friendship was still too far away from us, keeping the title between us as something simply known as acquaintances. * When I walked into the cafeteria from my first few classes after winter break, I didn't have that same dreadful feeling in the bottom of my stomac
"No you didn't. Who did that, Savannah?" It was Tyler now that sounded even angrier. "It was just a misunderstanding when Josh was in his fight." I could tell by his flinch that Josh didn't like knowing it had happened when he wasn't there. "It really isn't a big deal." I stared down at my hands, h
Josh pushed the door with his hand, shoving himself inside the house without permission. "What the hell was that today?" His voice was filled with an anger yet I could sense the almost guilt behind his words, like he had been the cause of it. "I—" "What the fück happened to your face?" He interrup
I knew that I was taking my unnecessary anger out on them, but they had infuriated me just as much as Isabella did. "But, it was Josh—" Valentina attempted to speak but I'd easily interrupted, wanting to get as much off my chest when I had the chance. "Since when did you care what Josh thought? Yo
The shooting pain seemed to persist through my jaw as I walked into school the day after the fight. I had battled my way through multiple tubes of concealers and foundations to somehow cover up the monstrosity of a bruise now displayed against my skin. However, in combination with covering my face,
His yellow teeth were prominent as he evilly smiled and pulled my face closer to his. "I'd like to leave your boyfriend a little gift if you don't mind." I pressed my back harder into the car behind me, hoping to somehow set off an alarm for any type of help. However, I hardly felt the impact of hi
* My stomach seemed to do a backflip as Valentina's car pulled up onto the grass of the field I now felt uncomfortably familiar with. "I can't believe this place even exists." She shouted excitedly with the four of us in the car. Henry helped both April and I out onto the muddied grass once we'd p
The library was thankfully silent in my free period before lunch, providing me with the perfect atmosphere to quietly complete my work and finally turn it in. After reading over the information a few more times, I finally clicked the button and closed my eyes, thanking the heavens that I had final
My whole body experienced the stiffness of sleeping on the couch instead of my own bed when I finally woke up. My eyes adjusted to the light coming through the window as I noticed Valentina and April still asleep around me. I couldn't remember falling asleep last night, let alone when Josh had even
Therefore, I stood closer to the line and threw the ball towards Josh's open arms. However, without me even realising, he now brought his arms forward and caught the ball I had just thrown, causing our team to lose. Anger somehow got the best of me as I stormed towards where he was, now smirking a
