Blossom's POV
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FOREHEAD?" my mother's concerned voice rang out when I entered the house and met her in the small living room.
"I tripped and fell on a stair case in the school," I lied. I had never lied to my mother before but I couldn't tell her that I was beaten up by my head cheerleader for being too friendly with her boyfriend. After all, my mother did warned me to stay away from boys.
"Are you going to be okay?" She asked again.
"Yes. I already saw the school nurse and she said it was just a slight cut. It wouldn't scar or anything."
"Okay. Well, I'm off to work now. Lock the doors as usual and don't answer it to anyone. I felt food in the oven."
I watched as she walked down the pathway, crossed and street and fetched a bus to her night-shift job. I felt vulnerable all over again as the images flashed back to what Brooke had her friends do to me.
My tiny frame was pushed in every direction, with p
Jevan's POVThe next morning, before I left for school, I joined my family for breakfast.Jada was being her usual talkative self while everyone else listened while stuffing their faces."Good morning," I greeted and sat down next to my father."Good morning," everyone responded."And it came out of nowhere. I was so scared at first, but then I wasn't anymore when I saw that it was the cutest bunny ever. His eyes were red but his fur was white," Jada went on."Hey, mom, dad, is it okay if I invite someone over this weekend?" I asked my parents as an idea sparked in my head."Who?" Jada asked me."None of your business," I responded, "I was speaking to mom and dad.""You're so mean!""And you're always prying into someone's business!""Okay! That's enough. Jada, Jevan, mind your table manners," my father cut in and put a stop to it."So
Blossom's POV"Where were you?" my mother asked and she approached me."Mama, I'm so sorry. I..I.. I.""Stop with the stuttering and speak up!" she bolted out.I swallowed. "I was with my friend.""So, Blossom, you're now your own woman to be disobeying me, lying to me and hanging out with guys.""Mom, I'm sorry," I sincerely apologised. There were tears in my eyes and to my great surprise, my mother pulled me into her arms and comforted me."It's okay, baby. Maybe I'm being too hard on you. We've moved here to create a new life for ourselves and you're growing up to become a woman.One day, whether I like it or not, you'll have a husband and kids."We laughed together."But I want to meet him. Your friend. What was his name again?""Jevan," I answered."Okay. I want to meet this Jevan. Go rest now. I'll make us some dinner.""I wan
Jevan's POVI sat across from the headmistress with two police officers on my right. She heaved an exhausting sigh as if she was lacking sleep for days."Jevan. This is serious. There are children saying that there was a confrontation between you and Brooke yesterday and that you put your hands on her in the parking lot.""Mrs. Tisdale, Brooke is crazy.""Did you or did you not put your hands on her?" an officer cut in."Yes! But not in an abusive form whatsoever. She jumped onto my car and I removed her from it. Simple!" I was getting frustrated already."How did you remove her? Was it more like a grab or a shove?" the other officer asked."I gently removed her," I answered."Oh come on. Someone is on your car.. Being gentle would be the last thing on your mind. What kind of car do you you drive?" the first officer asked again."Look, can I call my dad?" I directed to Mrs. Ti
Blossom's POVAfter leaving the principal's office and fetching my backpack from my locker, I walked out into the parking lot and saw Jevan standing next to his Extra-luxury Range Rover.He immediately caught the bruises on my knuckles and the sad look on my face. He came over, took my bag off my shoulder and pulled me into his arms."Hey, are you going to be okay?"I shook my head no. "I'm suspended for two weeks. My mom is going to freak when she finds out. She have been tolerant of you, but me getting suspended, she's going to skin me alive.""I'm sure she will understand.""You don't know my mother."Jevan took me home and offered to stay with me until I told my mother about my suspension but I declined. I didn't want him getting caught in the middle of the fire I knew was coming.I walked into the kitchen and saw my mother putting a tray of barbeque wings into the oven. She was already dressed f
Jevan's POVIt has been one week since Blossom's suspension and school didn't seem the same without her, at least for me.There was just something about her that got underneath my skin and made me feel something completely different. Something I've never felt before.After school, I drove to Blossom's house. I knocked on the door when I got there and a sad looking Blossom opened it."Hi. How are you?" I asked her, studying her face."I'm fine." She rubbed her eyes after."Were you asleep? Did I wake you?"She nodded yes."Is your mom here?"She nodded no. "She already left for work.""Oh. Well I bought over your homework and assignments. I'll get out of your hair now so you can go back to getting some rest. Okay?""Thanks, but there's something we have to talk about. Something that I saw. In your phone."I narrowed my eyes. "What's that?"&nb
Blossom's POV"Room Service," a voice called. Jevan stirred in the sheets before he got up and went to the door. He came back, pushing a food cart towards the bedroom.I sat up eagerly. I was hungry."Allow me to serve you," he spoke with a smile as he handed me a plate of sweet potato pie and chicken on a bed of greens."Oh my, this is better than I've anticipated," I said and continued to stuff my face."Just wait until dessert."After the main-course meal, Jevan fed dessert to me. Ice-cream with chocolate coated strawberries on top, and when we were down to the last strawberry, he bit the bottom of it and moved towards my lips.I acted accordingly, biting and eating the other half until our bare lips met. His grey pair of eyes, along with his handsome face, was marveling at me. His soft lips sealed mine and the tip of his tongue led to the entrance I allowed.My heart raced. The butter
Jevan's POVI stormed through my bedroom and threw myself face down on the bed. Exhaling a loud sigh, I thought about Blossom and how she must be feeling right now all because of me.A single tear fell but was instantly soaked up by the bed sheets.A knock came on the bedroom door. I quickly looked up and saw my mother standing there with a concern look on her beautiful face."Are you okay, sweetie?" she asked, coming closer to me and sitting beside me on the bed.I sat up and nodded."You weren't here last night. Your father and I were worried. Where were you?""I was out with Blossom. I took her shopping and then we went to one of aunt Emily's hotel. I should have called or text you. Time just caught up to us and we woke up this morning.""Sounds entertaining. But why are you sad now?"There was no hiding the sadness from my expression."It's Blossom's mom. I got
Blossom's POVIt has been two weeks later and my suspension was finally over. Although I found myself being enthusiastic about my return, I was hesitant on what else were in store for me at PHS.I walked through the halls like I did on the first day. Two weeks away from this place, felt brand new all over again.Nina and Sophia saw me almost immediately and break into a run towards me. On reaching, they crushed me into a tight hug."O.M.G. You have no idea how much we've missed you," Nina said, wiping at her eyes as if she was actually crying."It was like torture without you being here," Sophia added, "Don't ever leave us again.""I'll really try not to this time around," I told them and we went towards our lockers.Nina was healthy and was herself again, and she asked about the fight, and I described how it went down, she applauded me."Sophia is right. I think it's about time someone s
