All Chapters of His Fragile Flame: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The bell rang in the Psychology class and I gathered my things on the table. I picked up my books and brought them closer to my chest before going down the aisle of the room."Miss Preston," Sir Richards called, pondering on his desk.I turned to him, confusion drawn across my face as I moved in front of him. The strap of my sling bag was falling down from my shoulder, as I quickly pulled it up with a sheepish smile."Yes, sir?" I asked, apathetic."Look, Miss Preston, I don't mean to judge you, but Caleb Heory told me you haven't been teaching him. He was failing badly in my class, you should take responsibility," he said.My lips parted and my eyebrows began to furrow."I'm in no right to disrespect you but first of all, you didn't ask for my approval in this. Second, if Caley is failing your class, it isn't my responsibility. It just meant that your teaching wa

The sunlight striking my face caused me to open my eyes and scrunched my nose. It peeked through the open window, just beside the bed I was laying on. I started to roam my eyes around the place I was in, blue-painted and neatly decorated walls. I managed to sit upright from laying down, my head felt heavy, causing me to catch the weight of my head on my palm.I wasn't quite sure if I'd been here before, so I started to look around the place. There was a computer desk placed on the left side of the room, decorated with a pencil stand and some picture frames. There was also a football ball placed beside the basket of clothes near the white plain door. A wooden bookshelf hung above the television in front of the bed I was laying on. The room was neat, and the area smelled like a lit scented candle.Then the memory of last night flashed in my head, and my hangover was taking over my body. My forearms ached, maybe because I slept in the wrong p

"Dude, where's Lindsey?" Mason asked curiously, his eyes were fixated to Kourtney."Why are you asking me that?" Daniel irritatedly responded.So I was guessing, Lindsey was supposed to be in the volleyball team, and then Kourtney sabotaged that. How predictable."Kourtney said that his pretty little sister went out with Nicholas because he's leaving tomorrow," Emma spoke, her gaze still glued to her phone as she scrolled down with her thumb. "And they need a back-up athlete because Lindsey bailed out the last minute." She rolled her eyes to us, sliding his phone inside her pocket. It seemed like Kourtney texted her the entire conflict.Then the three of us looked at Daniel. His jaw tightened, his ocean-blue eyes showed nothing but void. It must be really tough for him to accept their breakup, especially when his ex-girlfriend cared more about Nick.Mason's large hand ran on Daniel's back

When I unlocked my apartment's door with Daniel clinging his arm around my shoulder. I quickly went inside and walked towards the couch of my small living room. I plopped him on the loveseat couch, making him wince in pain.He managed to sit upright, leaning his aching back against the couch. He threw his head back and shut his eyes close to relieve the pain. His cheeks were swollen, and blood continued to fall from the wound beside his eye. His firm arms were bruised, some scratches slightly cut his flesh as redness peeked through the open wound. His white uniform top was stained with blood, and there were few missing buttons at the top of his button-up shirt.I moved to the kitchen area and stood in front of the small refrigerator. I opened it, pulling the ice cube mold and put it on top of the counter. I reached for the aid kit placed on top of the sink, grabbing the ice bag, betadine, and some band-aid. When I was done putting ice in t

Kourtney brought the white mug of coffee to her lips and sipped. Her hazel eyes watched me, as I leaned against the chair while staring down at my beverage. The coffee shop was cold, and it wasn't packed with people. The soft jazz song played in the background, as I savored the relaxation it gave me."I wanted to talk to you about Danny," Kourtney said, putting down the mug on the small white plate."What about him?" I asked, raising my brows."He might seem a little hotheaded at first, but really, he's just being like that because of Lindsey," she explained, as the things Nick uttered whispered in my ears.In the first place, she was the one who made her sister cheat, and she used Nick to ruin their relationship. How was she the one who had the audacity to make her sister look bad to other people? She was just really out of her mind."What's wrong with Lindsey?" I asked, sipping the frapp
