"If you come over at six, we can order pizza as soon as you arrive." I was telling Valentina discreetly about our plans for the evening before anyone else came to the table. April and Henry already knew but it had taken a couple tries for Valentina to actually retain the information I was telling h
I avoided getting hit by dodging multiple throws around me. Tyler was still laughing as he attempted to throw a ball at me, making it my personal mission to get him out. Isabella seemed to also be using her competitive side and was hauling as much as she could in my direction. The attempt to stop
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
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
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 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
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
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,
"I can grab a few pizzas on the way back instead of the shit hotel food." I slipped back into the conversation Harvey, Henry and April were having with each other as we dried off and began getting changed again. "The food isn't that bad." I suggested as we began walking back up the beach. "I can't
"How's April?" I chose to ignore whatever Harvey had just witnessed and instead, changed the subject to something I was genuinely concerned about. "Very hungover." Harvey smirked. "A lot more than you two apparently are." He wiggled his eyebrows as Josh hastily slapped him up the back of the head t
Although we had all mastered and perfected the task of getting in late and not getting caught coming back from a party by Miss Johnson, it was soon to become even more interesting when she could be heard making her way down the hall and waking up each female room as Mr Fallon did the same for the bo
When I stepped into my room, I had expected Henry to be beside April, holding her hair over the toilet in the bathroom, nursing her back to her sober self. But the room was empty, void of any noise or presence of another person for the comfort I now needed since kissing Josh. However, with the rea
"Harvey." My voice was enough for him to turn, slight concern written on his features from my interrupting during a very important part of his night. "April's too drunk, we're taking her back to the hotel." I spoke as to inform him before turning around and marching back out to where my best friend
His lips were soft. Softer than I could have ever imagined. My body had been pinned against the door by his own as his lips assaulted mine, leaving a trace of goosebumps from my bottom lip, down to my neck. Everything inside of me was begging to stop, to stop myself from feeling anything other
My eyes automatically scrunched up at the poisonous liquid making its way down my throat, burning down into my chest. He then grabbed us each a beer and led me back over to an area of the house, less densely populated than nearly every other spot. "Are you ready to tell me why you can't stand to b
It didn't take long to finish up with our work for the day, allowing us to have the evening free to do what Miss Johnson expected us to do. "I expect you all to stay in the perimeter of the hotel if you leave and to be back inside by nine." Multiple sighs sounded around the classes as we all separa
"We're waiting for an elevator. Do you expect me to make small talk?" "I expect you to at least look at me." I turned my head, not bothering to move my shoulders and let my eyes meet him, securing a look that I desperately needed to guide my gaze away from. "Happy?" I hadn't noticed him closing t
