Loveliest regrets 13. Party
Briar's POVBirthday was always a special occasion. Many people say the attention they might get on their birthday is something they always want to deviate by any means, but being honest, I loved my birthday. It was a unique day, obviously the attention was almost overwhelming at times, with me being left in awkward greeting conversations, I still enjoyed the feel of being shown love by people; even if it was fake or the person was least interested.Some people conclude, how every birthday, you move closer to your death, but I always thought my day to be like a calendar marker for another year’s experience and moments added to my life. It’s almost fascinating to see how time keeps ticking, stealing away our youth, but a part of you always remains young, which holds all the sweet memories like a bucket which never let go of the feeling of excitement. That’s the thing about time, you can never press rewind, with our brain being our only guide to our happy memory land.The next day, as e
Loveliest regrets 14. Protecting her
Gareth's POVLooking outside my window finding and finding it dark made me happy because I was horribly tired. Finally knowing I’ll be able to rest longer, because it’s the weekend, send trails of relaxation all over my body. The day was a long one with no descending in my work, even a bit. I still had a few things left, but I decided to do them the following day; I was way too sleepy.Quickly changing into my comfortable pyjamas and t-shirt after taking shower, I was all ready for sleep. I looked at the clock for one last time and it was almost one in the morning. As I snuggled into my cosy bedsheets, it was warm and it felt good to relax my body after the tiring day. I stretched my body releasing the pain, blessing myself with a good sleep, as I closed my eyes.My eyes burnt when I closed them, I did like how cool it felt, but my relaxation came on a dramatic halt when I heard the noise of a glass shattering. The environment was calm, so hearing the breaking of it was very obvious.
Loveliest regrets 15. Why am I doing this?
Gareth's POVI was looking at the girls angrily, because even if I had already saved them all, they still need to understand and realise their mistake and moreover, I was curious about Briar’s state. I wanted to know how did she get so drunk. They were also scared, standing with their heads down. I sighed and seeing them like that, I got more upset than angry."Why did you all sneak out?" I said, in a low, upset voice. "You know, it's not safe outside, right?""You'll have your whole life for doing things like these. These restrictions are only imposed on you, till you're in school. Once you move out, you'll be free. No one will stop you." I said with a sad voice and they all looked guilty as well."Sit down." I said, when I saw them wearing heels and they all sat down on the sofa.I then, dragging a chair, sat down right in front of them crossing my arms. I looked at them with my head slightly tilted, as I wanted to know how and when did they sneak out."Tell me your names.""I'm, Bi
Loveliest regrets 16. Terrifying recalling
Briar's POVWe entered our dorm and almost fell on the floor due to tiredness. Maybe it wasn’t just that, because waking up in Mr. Wilson’s bed wasn’t something I was expecting. Strangely I was so tensed that my mind couldn’t erase the image of me waking up under his bedsheets.I was still sitting on our floor mat when my mind reminded me of my current situation. I wanted to know the answers to all of my questions."What happened? How did we come back? Did I get too drunk? Why were we in Mr. Wilson's room? Did he scold us a lot?" I asked all of it in one breath.Saying I was utterly confused, was just an understatement, I was genuinely petrified. I just rambled all of it without taking a pause for breath, because my mind was driving in many directions and somehow all of them just gave me the end result in the worst scenarios.Charlotte came near me and made me sit on the bed. But I recklessly kept on asking. "What the hell happened please tell me. My head will explode." I said in pani
Loveliest regrets 17. Unknown possessiveness
Gareth's POVIt was Monday, again.I totally understand why children hate going to school, I relate to them. I mean, you literally have to ruin your precious sleep and wake up, leaving a tempting bed. No matter how work efficient I get, I hate my sleep getting disrupted. This habit won’t possibly ever leave.Waking up is truly the worst thing to do every single day. It's not like I'm a sleepy head, but leaving that softness hugging my entire body, makes me want to curse. I wish I was running an evening school. So that I could get up late. If only things worked according to my wishes.Maybe I could have her too. Not even five minutes into the morning and I was already thinking about her. I wouldn’t say I disliked it, but the frustration of never being able to truly have her itches me inside. Maybe if we were born in a different time, maybe if we really were destined to be.Well, I was already in my office and a pile of papers welcomed me. I sighed looking at the files. I really didn't
Loveliest regrets 18. Crazy for her
Gareth's POVI went near them; a group of teenagers. Not just some random teenagers, but a few of my students, a boy I didn’t like and Briar. The atmosphere around them was filled up with so much unawareness, it was pretty understandable they didn't notice me, even when I wasn't very far from them.I stood there, waiting for them to notice me, for another few seconds. Then I finally cleared my throat, announcing my arrival. As they all noticed me, a blink of an eye and they all stood with their heads down and greeted me."Good morning, sir.""Good morning" I said, but my eyes, very involuntarily, were fixed on Briar."Why are you all out? You don't have any classes?" I asked."Sir, it's our P.E. class. The period is about to get over, that's why Mr. Tyler gave us leave, a few minutes before." Gretchen said.I remember this night-out students and can possibly never forget them.I noticed them wearing shorts and T-shirts. I saw how sexy Briar was looking. Those short shorts, showcased h
Loveliest regrets 19. Her phone
Gareth's POVIt's been two days to that incident and I still haven't stopped thinking about it. I just can't get over the fact that I was about to kiss her.Literally kiss her. I can't deny that I wasn't in my senses, but blaming myself totally over my unconscious is injustice to myself. But then again, it was an embarrassing thing to admit. Well, I haven't seen Briar after that.I was hoping to meet her more but because of Annual Day she's busy with other teachers and I am too. We're having repeated run throughs and are polishing all the performances, so that they all do the show well. And to my amusement, Briar was also performing.Yes, she was dancing as the lead in maybe one or two dances and I was happy. Perhaps even excited to see her perform. It was as if a new side of her unlocked, and luckily, I will be getting a chance to see it. Of course, I was excited for it.Luckily since morning, I didn't have much work, because most of the files are taken care of by the teachers. All
Loveliest regrets 20. Annual Day
Briar's POVIt was a big day; I could sense it in the air. Our twenty first Annual day celebration, we had been practicing for a very long time for. I wouldn't have been very excited but that day I was, because I was also performing. Yes, I was dancing in one of the most amazing performances of our entire show.Taken into consideration how I had never really participated in such performance-based acts, I was a nervous mess somehow managing to stay intact. When I told Mrs. Jones that I also wanted to participate in the dance, she agreed and asked our dance trainer to let me in. and because I did practice hard, I was assigned to be one of the main dancers. Yes, practice surely helped and of course I always loved dancing.Another reason why I was very excited is that my parents are also coming to see my performance. I know they love me a lot that's why they took a flight and were attending the occasion, just to see me perform. Because our programme was on a Tuesday, my parents landed in
