All Chapters of Winning Walker: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

STEYN"How could you leave like that?" Luke asked, taking long strides towards me."Can you stop getting on my nerves already?" I asked. "You really weren't joking about me waiting for you to answer your phone?""I wasn't." He replied."My bad, young master." I eyed him. "Next time, ask me to wait on you while you use the toilet.""Don't be so grumpy," He replied, draping his hands around my neck. "I'm clingy."I cringed. This guy was dragging attention our way and didn't seem to be bothered. I poked him on the ribs to get him to release his grip on me but to no avail."You can't say something like that." I replied, agitated. "Isn't your homeroom the other way?" I pointed in the opposite direction."Yes. But I'll see you to your class first. Walker isn't going to be in school today. So you're stuck with me for the rest of the day."I sighed. He was becoming overbearing."I'm not." I replied. "We share separate classes, lunch and we use different routes , how can we be stuck together?

STEYN"Are you going to explain to me the scenario I just experienced out there?" I asked Luke the moment we stepped out of the cafeteria."Relax Steyn. I was helping you, you know?" He said.It was almost difficult keeping up with his long strides, I had to hasten my place to keep up with him."Yeah. You were." I replied sarcastically. "Superman to the rescue. I'm grateful.'"You're welcome." He grinned."That wasn't a compliment.""That's bad." He furrowed his brow. "I took it as one."Psst." I shook my head at his annoying behavior and hastened my pace."Don't be so mad." He caught up with me. "That was the only way I knew to make you feel more at ease."The sincerity in his eyes made me heave."Whatever." I brushed him off."I wasn't joking when I asked if you'll love to come with me to Walker's.""Really Luke?" I looked at him in disbelief. "If it was a joke, it would be better.""What do you mean?" He asked in confusion."On what grounds do I visit Walker's house?" I asked him.

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

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

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
