I'd always been fascinated about the differences between the male and female mind, notably the conversations I'd have with Henry would seem to cement that particular theory, including the current one we were having right now."I'm not saying that women should be in the kitchen," Henry used his hands
To pinpoint my exact location, it would be the far end stall in the girls' bathroom and although I was unsure as to how long I had been there, I knew it still wasn't long enough to get over the shock of what had just happened.I'd barely given it a second before I ran straight out of the cafeteria,
A small smile was somehow plastered against my lips as I pressed down the handle of the front door, sensing its immediate disappearance when the shouting interrupted my thoughts."Do you really think I am that stupid to believe you were thinking about me whilst you were fu—"The door slamming from m
My laptop and books were spread across the bed in front of me, displaying various details about the civil war, an event that I had grown disinterested with reading about over and over again.However, Valentina's skype username swiftly appeared across my screen, the loud ringing sounding out of the s
They both supposedly worked late every Wednesday night, the same night they were due to meet their therapist. How unusual.It was comical how she still seemed to think I was none the wiser. She assumed I was still the clueless eight-year-old that believed in superficial concepts like the tooth fairy
His angered expression entered my vision and it was at that moment that I would've been happy for the floor to swallow me whole, taking me anywhere other than in front of Josh. He did nothing but point his finger towards the boy's bathroom, asking the obvious question with his challenging eyes. "I—
When I turned, however, I had not expected to see Tyler stepping closer behind me, shocking me a little more than he should've. "I do have a name," my hand flew up to my lips when I suddenly comprehended what had left my mouth. Yet in an unconventional manner, Tyler burst out laughing, clutching hi

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
I was struggling to understand what Miss Johnson meant when she'd allowed us to 'catch up on missed sleep', yet managed to wake the whole corridor up over two hours earlier with her incessant shouting at Mr Fallon. "They need to just have sex already and get it over with." April threw her pillow ov
However, with one problem being solved, another presented itself in the form of the bus that was taking us to the hotel. I had managed to keep a distance between Josh and I throughout immigration and collecting baggage, but it had quickly been thrown out of the window when I spotted April perching
"One hundred percent." I was now standing at the door, waiting for Henry's car to appear and for my mother to stop fussing over me. "I'll see you in a week." She smiled and pulled me in for a tight hug, to which I hugged back even tighter. "Be good, and be safe." I nodded with a small smile before
"There he is!" April mentioned with an enthusiastic pointed finger as she slipped her arm into mine and brought us towards Henry, waiting for us on the bleachers of the gym. The planned assembly had been formed by our biology teacher with the other class in the grade to tell us what was going to ha
My heart had finally fell back to a normal speed despite it picking back up every so often when Ryan would send me his charming smile that I'm sure most girls would easily fall for. Like I was doing right now. Our conversation continued like it had over texts. We talked all about our friends and fa
Three Years Ago My hand was beginning to ache with the contestant re-touching and applying of make-up to every flaw I managed to find as soon as I stepped away from the mirror. My hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, exposing my naked face more than I had liked. I let out a heavy sigh as I pulle
