Chapter 10: Dye Princess (2)

Zayne's viewpointHow did she succeed in ignoring me the whole time? In less than five minutes from the park to Mom's car, I already knew her favorite things. She talked non-stop, pausing occasionally for air. By the time I was done cleaning her wounds, I already knew her whole family history and how much she hated her mother. It didn't matter, I loved how open and honest she was. She had no filter like Savia and was brutal like Zachary."There, all done. I'm sure your boyfriend would be worried about you," I mentally slapped myself in the head. I shouldn't have let that out. Now she'd think I'm weird."I have three boyfriends: my dad, my brother, and my best friend, Neo. They are so protective of me which is unnecessary because boys aren't my thing. You wanna know what my thing is? Cars, guns, bombs, colors. Have you seen my hair? Isn't it beautiful? Dad said I only have two more weeks to enjoy my hair dyeing phase, after two weeks, he'll shave my head if I ever dye it again. That's

Chapter 11: you don't have to wait

Zayne's viewpoint"Let me guess," Mom said. "You met her again, didn't you?" I hummed positively. "And you let her go?""I don't know what to do," I murmured, "I'm confused,""Honey, excuse me for a moment," Mom slipped away from Dad, dropping her curled-up legs. She scooted herself over to the arm of the chair so she would be closer to me. "Come," she stretched her hand out to me. I knew what she wanted, so without taking her hand, I stood up, walked up to the chair, and sat down on the floor, between her legs. She ran her fingers into my hair, turning her fingers into a comb. "Okay, you have my full attention. Tell me why you are confused,""I'm confused because she is not part of the plan I have for myself. My life is perfectly calculated, predicted, and organized, but the only few days she got involved, I don't know my schedule anymore. Graduate from high school and college, finally open my own art gallery and studio for my photography, pay more attention to my life as a photo art

Chapter 12: let's do it

Larissa's viewpointI dazedly walked into my house, walking in a waddling-like manner. My father and Tristan were sitting on the new black leather sofa, close to each other, watching a basketball march. The living room was a mess. This is what happens when I leave them alone for a whole afternoon. Why do they both have to be such a child?I dropped my bag loudly, but they still didn't notice me. I scoffed and walked towards the television, stopping right in front of it. "Oi!" They both shouted, pulling their hair. "You're in the way! Get lost, daughter!" I didn't have the energy to deal with them, so for once in my life, I stepped away from the TV and let them be. They would figure out my mood later when they realized I left them alone for once. They'll probably panic, but whatever.I left my bag there and trod to the staircase. I climbed up the stairs heavily, rethinking everything that had happened so far. I went to his house, met his sisters, we fought, he remembered me and he indi

Chapter 13: shackles free

Larissa's viewpoint"Are you sure this would work? I look like a slut," she whimpered, pinning the open neckline of her top together.I rolled my eyes. "The true definition of slut is the bimbo sucking the new boy's face over there," I pointed at the school slut. She's always naked. "You look sexy but not slutty, so relax. Don't you want to get Neo?""I do, I really do," she murmured. She was wearing a crossover neckline top, which plunge revealed a little cleavage. The blush pink, crop knot front top had sequined slip-sleeves. In addition, she wore a front button mini jeans skirt, black with the buttons blush pink. The skirt was somehow something she called a tube jean skirt. It was sexy and innocently hugged her curves. And then she wore her lucky black wedge booties for confidence. She usually wears very light makeup but this time, she made it more noticeable, with brighter lipstick and her over-the-shoulder length honey-blonde hair, curled to give it a bouncy touch. I say she look

Chapter 14: Satan's Bride

Larissa's viewpointToday has been a day, a very emotionally exhausting day. It was only the lunch period and I was already tired. I didn't understand who among us was attempting to make the other fall. From declaring that I'll be sitting with him and being close to him for the rest of the semester, to being extra weird. He was sitting awfully close to me and getting into my personal space. It was odd, or maybe I was the one reading extra meaning to it.I sat in the cafeteria, right next to Neo, who was busy discreetly seething as he watched Starliss and her date chatting merrily. We were sitting next to the football team, but he wasn't with them but with us because of Starliss. If I didn't know Neo any better, I would have thought that he didn't care. But I knew my friend, I knew how good of an emotion concealer he was. He barely paid attention to the girl sitting at his other side and the one sitting on the table, in front of him, legs intentionally opened. I also knew Starliss was

Chapter 15: jealousy

Zayne's viewpointBitterness, rage, so much rage targeted at one soul. It had been a while since I boiled with jealousy, especially at this magnitude. The way she smiled playfully at him, the way she rolled her eyes when he spoke but still harbored that glow in her eyes. Everything was annoying. It was just like then, always him, never me.I quietly watched them. He was talking nonstop about their childhood, rubbing it in my face that he knew her more than I did. Why can't he just stick to the other friend who's in love with him? Why must it be mine? Why? Why does he always have to be the better choice for her? He was athletic, a muscle man like she would want. Why can't she see me when he's around?I puffed out, rolling my eyes around at the lame joke he made, but she still laughed. They all laughed. "Neo, you are an idiot," Odette said with a faltering smile."Odette, you are a mole,""Chew fart, dickhead,""Fart can't be chewed, cum brain,""Of course, it can! If it can't, why did

Chapter 16: Will you help him?

Larissa's viewpointI stretched on the tip of my toes, bending my body backward with a yawn. School for the day was finally over. All I had to do was wait for Zayne in his car for another lesson. He disappeared before the lunch period ended, and since then, he has been nowhere in sight. The noise we caused must have chased him away and probably gave him a headache. If I remember correctly, he hates the noisy atmosphere and can't tolerate people surrounding him. I honestly forgot he was there.I grabbed my schoolbag, shoved my book into it, and flung the strap over my shoulder. "Justice," oh what now? I forced a smile on my face, turning my attention to the teacher packing up his books. "Where is Zayne?" Did I forget to mention it was Mr. Ayton? I successfully avoided him throughout the lessons, but he was persistent in getting words out of my mouth."I don't know, haven't seen him since lunch,""And why won't you know? Are you not his partner?""Like you said, partner, not second skin

Chapter 17: Mrs. Verlice

Larissa's viewpoint"Larissa!" Jewels shrieked excitedly from the balcony on the third floor. She waved her hand as she shrieked, the other hand holding onto the railing. "You're back!" I smiled, raised my hand, and waved back. Jewels giggled and ran inside, obviously to run downstairs. I smiled one more time before entering the house.Immediately I walked into the living room, I was tackled by a small squealing body. It took me a few staggering steps back before I could stop myself from crashing on the ground. For a four-year-old, Rihanna sure had supernatural strength. Her bubbling energy was severely intense, too much for the little darling to carry around. Yet, she worked it perfectly. "Risa, Risa! I got an A in my oral test!""Wow, really?" I asked with wide eyes. "You got an A? That's so cool!""Mm mm," she nodded, squeezing my legs even harder. "Do you want to hear how great I was?" I nodded, bending down to carry her. Rihanna subconsciously raised her hands as she began to rav

Chapter 18: Does she like me?

Zayne's viewpointIt's stupid to overthink, that's one of my many mottos of life. I never overthink things, and never needed to because I always figure it out. However, just like the rest, Larissa was giving me a reason to. What was I pondering on? How jealous I became in school just because she was with him. How unreasonable I was becoming just because of her. I almost threw away my years of discipline and planning for someone who didn't see me as anything other than maybe not a friend. I left school because of her.I stayed in my room, my headphones covering every sound from invading my thoughts. I had to give it a thorough thought and calculate the risks of following this feeling, the consequences, the disadvantages, and the advantages. Then I spent time trying to point out every reason why she would be in love with him, why she wouldn't want to ever accept it, how she was avoiding it, and then the reasons why she might not be in love with him like I assume. The possibility of her

Chapter 19: Can you put your shirt back on?

Larissa's viewpointI stared at Zayne, trying to stop myself from smiling. He had a thoughtful expression on his face. I could see the wheel in his head turning. He was trying to figure out if what I said was true. I knew he'd figure it out quickly.I didn't know how to speak German. I wasn't like Odette who—surprisingly—is good at learning different languages. The only language I could speak aside from English was Indonesian, and that is because my mother was originally Indonesian/Korean, but was born in Boston. She was fluent in both languages and tried to teach me, but I could only ever learn Indonesian. I was able to understand Korean but when I tried to speak it, I made a mess. I wasn't linguistic like Tristan or Odette.The corner of Zayne's lips tilted upward. He spread his hand out and came closer for a hug. Oh, come to Mama, baby!I happily welcomed his hug. "You're lying. You can't speak German,""Busted," I laughed."I'm sleepy," he complained. I looked at Lavender over his
