Chapter 4
The morning was bright, the sun was shining so bright like it was its last day to shine. The birds were hyperactive as the sang melodious tunes and jumped through branches. I knew it was a good day. I went to the window side to get fresh air, then I saw Davis packing his bags already, he turned around and saw me staring at him.“Why are you peeping through my window goblin, go find help goblin while you still can, “this obsession you have with me is getting out of hand” he smirked and winked at me while he closed his window.“His nerves” I grunted as I shut mineHe was annoyingly going to the same college I got accepted into, turns out I won’t be getting rid of Davis Garraway any time soon, yayy.I went and took my bath then I started packing.“Peach are you not done yet? we have a long trip ahead of us” my mom screamed from down stairs.“I’m almost done mom’’ I replied as I continued. *********As soon as I finished, I quickly went down to the kitchen to have some snacks. Then I was all set to go.“Mom…. Mom I’m ready to go”. I spoke“I’m at the driveway already” she replied. ********I was putting my bag in the car’s boot when Davis’s mom Stacy approached my mom.“Hey Claire”“Hi Mrs. Garraway”“Oh, hello Charity”“Oh, hey there Stacy, when did you get back from your England trip”“Not too long ago, I got back yesterday”“Oh nice, how is Mike and work”“He is fine, he couldn’t come back, work is good everything’s going smoothly. Um Claire, I have a favor to ask you”“Yeah, what is it, anything it is I would be honored to help; I mean you played a huge role in our settling in this town you know”“Well Claire the thing is I got a call not too long ago that I have an emergency meeting back at England so I have to go back asap, so I need help with taking Davis to Starman, and I heard Charity got accepted there too so I figured it would be easier if I asked you, the driver would have taken him but he has to take me to the airport and before he gets back it must have been too late”Wait what, what, what did I just hear, taking Davis to Starman, that is me and Davis Garraway in the same car to Starman college, say no mom say nooo.“It Is not a problem Stacy, that’s our destination and I would be more than happy to take Davis with me” of course you would“Oh thanks a lot Claire, you are a live saver” she concluded as they hugged and she left to go call Davis.“Mom… you could have just said no, I don’t want Davis in the same car as me”“You know you should really try getting alone with Davis, he is a nice kid, and the both of have practically spent most of your lives together”“Mom you do not get it do you, Davis is the devil in this story while I’m the princess and princesses and devils do not get alone, ever”“I think you mean you are the goblin” a voice spoke from the back along with a chuckleYou have got to be kidding me did he just hear all of that.“Hey Mrs. Goldtown, if you are not okay with me tagging alone, I can leave” Davis said“Not at all Davis we are excited you are going with us, you can put your bags in the boot” she concluded as he smirkedYou see he is evil! Evil I say, evillllllll, he just gave me some kind of evil smirk or something that kid’s evil.We packed in our bags and we began the trip and guess what my mom suggested I stay at the back seat with Davis so he does not feel lonely, thanks a lot mom for sending me straight to hell.We started the trip and since I was already sent to hell, I decided to put my air pods and listen to music and maybe catch a little sleep before we get there. I brought out my phone and went straight to Ed Sheeran’s playlist, yep that dude knows how to sing to a lady.“What are you doing goblin” a very annoying voice spoke, and I ignored it quite well while connecting ,my air pods to my phone. “I’m talking to you goblin do not act like you didn’t hear me” I continued connecting my air pods as I didn’t act like I noticed his presence. He got furious I guess and then tried dragging the air pods from my hand, I didn’t let him, we dragged it and then I fell on him. We stared at each other for four minutes then subconscious spoke upHe has nice, strong chest like a pillow, I want to lay there and sleepppppI immediately got up, learn to shut up when you are not asked to talk and he doesn’t have nice chest I would wake up with nightmares if I was sleeping there, whatever. She rolled her eyes and left.“Give me those” I quickly broke the silence and awkwardness, grabbed my pods and started listening Ed’s amazing voice. I eventually dozed off when perfect by Ed Sheeran started playing, then subconscious appeared and sang along.I found a loveFor meDarling just dives right inFollow my lead and I found girlBeautiful and sweetAnd I never knew you were the someoneWaiting for meWe were still kids when weFell in love.That song had always been my all-time favorite; it takes me to places I have never been. The sleep was very peaceful surprisedly, the chair was very comfy it was nice and strong, soon I was in dream land, I was at the beach at sundown, alone. I could perceive tulips mixed with strawberry. I was enjoying the view of the sunset it looked just like my eye color.“Goblin…...Goblin”Really, Davis Garraway found his way to my dream.“Goblin, goblin wake up” I opened my eyes and I was on sleeping Davis Garraway’s chest, I perceived the tulips and strawberry again.You have got to be kidding me, that was his scent and I’ve been enjoying his scent for five hours now plus I’ve been on his chest, shit.“What da” I immediately jumped off of his body and he chuckled“I guess you just slept on the chest of a devil goblin” he said“Fuck you Davis” I replied as I immediately left the car to avoid further breathing of the same air as him. I looked up and I saw it, Starman college, we were here already.Chapter 5 I got out of the car and I looked up and saw it Starman college. It was as beautiful as I had imagined it was way bigger than I imagined too. This college was known to be one of the best in California like I mentioned earlier, with its recommendations and grade A teachers you were already on a path to a bountiful and respectable future if you were accepted. I stared at it for a while and I was imagining my road map to becoming the best international lawyer the world has seen when my mom spoke. “This is the big one peach, this is the big one, this is the big one” my mom said as she burst out in tears, I knew she was emotional she probably could not believe she was able to pull it off and provide me a good life. “Mom mom no no mom not this, not now” I tried to comfort her. “I know, I know, it’s just that you’ve grown up so well that I’m so proud, look at you, you are standing right in front of Starman and see you becoming the star you are fated to become already” She conti
Chapter 6My mom prepared my life’s blue print, and in the blue print one of the important details there was the kind of people I had to interact with, the kind of friends I was to make and the kind of people I should have business with. The blueprint only allowed me to mingle with the rich, the smart, straight, famous and prestigious people and anything asides that was banned.My mom had barged into my hostel room when I was just about to talk and yep it wasn’t a friendly scene.“Are these indecent girls going to share a room with you peach?” she asked me as I tried to shut her up“Who the hell are you guys” she asked while analyzing the two British girls that were in the room I got assigned to.“Um this is our room” the second girl answered in a rude tone.“Ohh no the both of you can not be in this room” my mom added“And why can’t we ma’am” the first girl asked“Cos my peach is in this room and my peach cannot be found sharing a room with you guys” she added as she pointed at them
Chapter 7Peach, the nickname my mom called me. Since I was a child, I have never heard her calling me Charity, it is always: Peach, my Peach, darling Peach. I guess the name equally made her feel she had to protect me from the world. Whenever I was found derailing from the blue print she would get mad and just transfer it all on the people around. One time in middle school I made friends with a gay girl, Bennie and my mom freaked out when she found out about it. ******“Hey you disgrace to nature; you must have deceived my Peach into becoming friends with you cos Peach does not mingle with your kind” she spoke“Mom please it was my fault, I approached her”“No Peach you do not have to defend her, I know her type and I know you” *********After that day Bennie never spoke to me again and I do not blame her, I would not speak to me too if I was in her position. Gays avoided me in middle school, in fact everyone avoided me becau
Chapter 8“Fine I’ll will go”. I got ready and we left for the party, well by ready I do not actually mean that I wore sexy clothes or anything, nope It was just mu usual hoodie and jeans.“Yuck what is that, all that” Tiffany asked as she pointed at what I was putting on“I told you; you made a mistake by inviting her” Sam added as she laughed“What are you wearing, what exactly are you wearing” Tiffany continued“I don’t know clothes?” I asked sarcastically“No, no, no, certainly no” she added as Sam continued laughing“There is no way you are going with me dressed like that, I mean you look so…...” she continued as she looked at meme awkwardly“I told you already that if I was going to go to this party then I would dress the way I like and feel comfortable in and there is nothing absolutely you can say or do to make me change my mind” I said as I gave her a fake smile.“At least pull off the hoodie and find a better top” she said“Absolutely nothing” I concluded as I looked away“Fi
Chapter 9I was already used to Davis’s bullying since we were in preschool. I mean Davis had always bullied me, he would call me ugly, break my glasses, laugh at me whenever he passed me in class, throw away my food, call me goblin, drag my hair, force me to be his slave and many more and then whenever he helped me and saved me from being bullied by others he would feel like a king who just saved his people or a hero in a movie Akshay Kumar starred, you know when Akshay saves the heroine, he has this moment where he is allowed to walk in with slow Mo and then his hair is flipped by the wind, yep that kind of scene. In high school I was made to follow him anywhere he went for 2 months just because a kid named Rolley called me goblin and then hero Davis Kumar walks in a shuns him from it then tells him only he has the right to call me goblin and that if he ever hears anyone calling me a goblin he would cut his tongue out, yep a drama queen, I had skipped a lot of classes because I was
Chapter 10Davis Garraway and I have not been the best of friends all these years. We were always at each other, at school, at home and everywhere in between. Davis had always bullied me that sometimes I cried. On my 10th birthday party although I didn’t invite him, I never would, my mom invited him. The party was going smoothly, my mom invited friends and I had invited mine too, then the one and only Davis Garraway made his entrance to my party and yep he made sure his entrance was grand. You should have known what he can do, yeah I know now back to the story. His entrance was grand, the party became all about him, yeah typical Garraway. Then when the type for the presentation of gifts came, everyone gave me remarkable gifts then Davis stood and watched them, then he claimed last to present the gift. He handed his gift over to me and just when I was about to keep it in the pile where other gifts were.“Why don’t you open mine right now” Davis said out loud as the entire crowd’s atten
Chapter 11“I want a new look” I replied as she looked at me in what I would call shock of a lifetime, you know when something close to impossible happens, that look you would have, yep, yep that was the look Tiffany had.“Say what?” she asked in utter disbelief.It is not like I’m stressing or something or maybe I’m asking her to do something out of her power. It was something she enjoyed doing, dolling people up was like her thing, she was known to fix the saddest of girls and make them princesses overnight, that was her gift I would say, so I was doing her a favor actually, she was going to have another gig to do.Davis made series of comments to me these few days and I wanted him to feel shocked the next time he sees me, no, no, no, that came out wrong, I meant I wanted those that laughed at me be wowed when next they see me not like I had Davis particularly in my mind, it was general.Does getting a good life mean staying away from things that makes life interesting?I mean I d
Chapter 12“No Davis we should not be doing this, we should not be doing this Davis no” he kissed me so passionately as he looked me in the eye and I could see the smirk in his eyes.I wanted it too and although I struggled a little I finally gave in, he kissed my neck and was unhooking my bra…“Charity!!!!” Tiffany Shouted“Wake up Charity, you asked me to wake you up you mentioned something about a big test today” she continued“You usually don’t need people waking you up or did you have something strong to drink at the party?” she asked“was it a dream” I said out loud “huh” Tiffany asked as she looked puzzled “Oh, it’s nothing” I concluded as I looked away to prevent further questions.“What are you talking about?” she asked confused“Nothing, Nothing” I said as I got up“It does not seem like nothing”“I had a bad dream okay, now you better get going before you are late” I said as I tried to end the conversation.“Okay, if you say so, Sam already left earlier, there is cerea
