Joshua's pov:After the long day finally I reached home. I sighed and entered inside the house. I directly went to the kitchen and saw my mum reading something while sitting on the dinning table. "Hey mom." I greeted her. "Hey my baby boy." she beamed at me. "Mommmmm I'm not a baby." I whined. "You'll always be my baby boy". She teased me like always. "Okay fine, I'm hungry please give me something to eat." I said peeking at what she's reading. She was as always reading her home decor magazine marking what she want to buy for the home decoration. She likes to moderate the house and made aesthetic changes in them. She got up from the chair and started serving the food. I went to the sink and washed my hands. Basic manners. She put the plate on the table and sat where she was sat before. I started digging in my food hungrily. "Slowly Joshua Williams." my mum instructed."Hmmm." I hummed and started eating slowly. After finishing the food I put my dish in the sink and went to my
Joshua's pov:I shifted my gaze in front on the black board but I can feel both of their gaze drilling holes in the side of my head. Am I scared of them? Do I regret it what I did just now? Obviously, no! Mrs. Smith started checking the papers submitted by me. After reading the whole summary she gave a single nod to me and then Grace. Then she started teaching from where we left in the previous class. I saw with my side eye Grace again get back to sleep while Candice is busy with her phone, texting someone. RrrrrriiinngggggAfter few periods more of different subjects the bell rang and interval started. Students started rushing out of the classroom as always. I also skipped to the canteen putting my hands in my pockets. There was again a huge crowd for getting food but I don't wanna suffocate and die inside of it. So I stood in the side waited for the crowd to decrease. Stacey and others also came. Yes from the day one I'm sitting with them for the lunch."Hey Joshua why are yo
Joshua's pov:I entered the classroom and saw Stacey giving me a small smile I smiled back. Then I saw Grace already staring at me. She glanced at my changed shirt, then me and smirked. I avoided eye contact with her and went to my bench and sat on it. It's our chemistry period and Mr. White came and started teaching us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip:Finally, after all the periods ended the bell rang and it's time to go home yay! The students rushed out of the door hastily. I also packed my stuff and slung my bag on my shoulder. I was walking out of the class Mr. Snow our physics teacher who took our last period asked me to help him. "Mr. Williams can you help me in putting these charts in my office?" he asked. "Yes, of course sir." I said and took half number of the charts from his hands. He nodded and started walking ahead of me and I started following him. After turning few hallways we reached his office he unlocked the door and entered inside inv
Grace pov:I was alone for ever in my life. Yes, I have parents very rich and well reputated parents. In public and media they show how much of ideal parents they are only I know, I know the truth behind their big ass smile on their faces. How they show that they do care for me, love me and adore me. But in home they are monsters. That is not even a home it's a house where so many humans live under a single roof. In that house there is Mr. Danielle Anderson and his wife Mrs. Julia Anderson and me a mistake, their so called daughter who is a burden on them and good for nothing. I'm nothing to them and they are nothing to me. But infront of media they show how much they love me. And in reality, they didn't even know in which school I study what I like and dislike. They only knew how to make good reputation in front of the world. Expensive parties, expensive jewelry, expensive furniture, owning many of lands and properties, tours and vacations in different countries, meetings, business
Grace's pov:As the other subjects period came and went by I kept sleeping. And when the time came interval bell rang I'm in no mood to go out without Candice. And no one dares to talk to me with my rude and agressive behaviour. Good for them! Suddenly I felt someone shaking me. "Hey wake up." He said. Oh so Joshua Williams decided to disturb me again. I ignored him. He again shook my shoulders. "Hey listen you girl wake up." I got a name idiot. Oh God stop disturbing me you punk! I got up. "What do you want?" I asked coldly while rubbing my eyes. "It's interval don't you want to eat anything?" he asked.So he is concerned for me. How cute! Like I will believe him. "It's none of your business" I again spat rudely. "Are you sure? You must be tired of sleeping" he sarcastically asked. Don't sarcasm me you bastard."Did I stutter? and don't be sarcastic with me." I said and stood up from the bench and walked away.Better to walk around, if want to avoid his nonsense. As I wa
Grace's pov:I was sleeping when the bell rang and finally the time of detention came. But it's not the first time so I don't care and kept sleeping. That annoying teacher Mrs. S-- ugh whatever came and said "Take out your English text book and write the summary of chapter 4 in your own words."Joshua nudged me in shoulder. I raise my head and glare at him."What?" I snapped. "Can't you see Mrs. Smith is here." he retorted back. "So what?" I said with a nonchalant expression. Do I care? "Ms. Grace Anderson I'm done with your tardiness and inappropriate behaviour I want to talk to your parents." the annoying teacher yelled from where she is sitting. What will she talk to my parents? They don't even care. How dare she mention that bastards. "They can't come." I replied shortly keeping my calm.But not for a long time. "Why not? Are they ashamed of their daughter's deeds and behaviour?" She asked tauntingly. They are ashamed of me you old hag.I stared at her not in the mood of
Grace's pov:Candice started telling me about her vacation trip on Hawaii with her aunty. How much she loved that place. She got a little tanning also. As we were talking someone cleared their throat beside Candice. We both raised our heads towards the voice and saw Joshua Candice don't know him, we stared at him for few seconds so he could say why he is here but he did said anything so we went back to our conversation. He again tried to get our attention by tapping on the table. "What?" Candice spat annoyed by his interruption. "That's my place." he replied. "And who said that?" she again questioned. "I am sitting here from few days." he retorted back. "Because I was on vacations for few days, and no one can come and claim my seat like that boy." she snapped at him. "But here nowhere your name is written." he frowned. "Neither yours." she said and smirked. He glanced at me with hopeful eyes so I would say something in his favour but I was staring at him.Why would I take his
Grace's pov:I clenched my jaw seeing him smile like a fool and said "See Josh you are a good guy and I don't want to hurt you so stay away.""So you even gave me a nickname." he said still smiling.This idiot! Didn't he listen what I said in the whole line instead of it. He is getting on my nerves now. "YOU WANNA DIE DON'T TAKE MY SILENCE AS MY WEAKNESS AND FUCK OFF." I shouted. "But just now you said you don't wanna hurt me." he said. He said the truth.But why it is the truth?"You son----" I again started but his phone rang. He took out his phone and received it gesturing me to stop for 2 minutes. He started talking--"Hello" he said and the other line replied. With whom is he talking? "I'm at the school with my friend." he said glancing at me. I'm not your friend idiot! "Okay I get it. Bye I love you." he again said.Is he talking to a girl? Is she his girlfriend?Why do I care? "Who was it?" I asked glaring at him. Why did I even asked?"Why are you jealous?" he said
