I was taught that most times we act outside ourselves, doing that, which we ordinarily wouldn't. Sometimes we don't know why we do the things we do, and at this moment, I still couldn't tell the reason for my act. Here I was, stood outside the soccer field of Greenville High. Yes, I finally decided to go for the game. Initially, I had lied to Miss Tara that I was having cramps and I had to go home, which the lady didn't believe. She sensed immediately that something was up, so she refused to let me go. After much pleas from me, giving her random excuses as to why I had to take my leave, she finally agreed to let me go, but there remained certain conditions. The condition was that I was to return to the Williams mansion at exactly 5:00 pm, and also, I had to remain there for the night, just to complete the chores I left behind. Unhappy I was at first with her 'condition', cause I never informed mom that I wouldn't be returning home for the day, but after much thoughts, I gave in
I hurried my feet away from the bleachers, turning to leave. After all, the game was over. Despite the game been finished, and the champions being awarded their medals, I could still hear people cheering on, while they made their way out of the field. White paints splashed all around, as artists made sure the give the field a piece of art, spraying the grass with white colours, and having the words 'Greenville High' sprawled on it.The area in less than a second had turned wild. I moved away from the field, approaching the exit, when I heard call of my name. Turning around at once, I found Cameron, figure stood feet away, eyes peering on at me, with that smile still on his face. Fiddling with my fingers nervously, the corners of my lips tugged upwards, returning his smile. "Congratulations" My voice remained low, eyes locked in his. "You came" I heard him mutter to me, while I nodded, smiling on at him. "Thanks for coming" He uttered in a calm voice, his gaze never leaving mi
THIRD PERSON POV... The figure of Cameron was advancing into the hallway, Ashley tagging right behind, while her voice bugged him on. Every now and then, she would yell at him, demanding answers to the question she had been at over and over again. "I've told you already, I've got no idea where he is" "I know you're lying, Cameron. Just tell me already and I'll stop following you around" Ashley responded in a tone that was already laced with frustration. "What aren't you getting about this?!" He snapped at once, "I have no idea where Jake is" He added, finally having a glance at her. "He's your best friend. How can you not know his whereabouts. Or have you decided to cover up for him?" "Now, why would I do that? The last place I saw him was in the living room partying with the rest" "I haven't seen him since then" "Now please, leave me alone"His voice was low, but the anger in it could easily be detected in his tone. Turning around the corner of the hallway, he resumed walki
NIA'S POV…I sat up in bed, murmurs followed by yells coming from the hallway."Bitch!" It wasn't difficult making out Ashley's voice from the rest. Getting up from the bed I was laid in, I proceeded out of the room going to have a view of whatever was going on out there.People were crowded in the hallway murmuring on about something unknown to me. They were all stood in front of a room, peering on at whatever was going on inside there. I saw the figures of Logan and Tyler suddenly rushing in.Moving closer, I stopped right outside the door, having a look.Cameron came in sight, figure being restrained by Tyler and Logan. His scrutiny remained focus on someone. Tracing his gaze, I saw a half naked Savannah, hands gripping onto the sheets tight, while she protected her unclad body. "I'm sorry" her words wavered, while tears poured out her eyes. "I swear, it was a mistake." She whispered, choking on her tears.My eyes soon turned to the figure stood by the bedside, and at once, I
Walking back into the house, I found the crowd of people still partying and drinking. A girl was stood on a table, dancing. She had a red cup in hands, figure staggering at every second. One could only assume she was drunk. Just as I thought everything seemed fine, the door tore open, and in walked Mr and Mrs Williams. The sight their gazes beheld, caused the corners of their eyes widening, lips gaping the instant they took in the state of the house. Mrs Williams' jaw suddenly dropped, gaze peering at something afar. Turning to the direction which she looked at, I found whatever had brought the lady to such state of shock—The figures of Logan and Arabella, stood at a corner of the room, arms wrapped around each other, while they kissed. Both unaware of the presence of the Mr and Mrs Williams, while their lips moved in sync against each other's. "Logan!" The voice of Mrs Williams jolted the two, the house suddenly turning quiet as every gaze turned to peer at the woman. Logan a
I woke up the next morning to voices arguing, yells followed and suddenly, there was silence. Can't I just wake to the calm of morning, the beauty that followed? Rather than spew of words every now and then. Oh, yes. How could I forget? I was in the Williams mansion after all. This was what one would wake up to—Ruckus. Making my way downstairs into the living room, I found the whole family sat there, excluding Mr Williams. Perhaps he had gone to work.Present there was also Miss Tara, with Arabella stood right beside her. Their gazes focused on Mrs Williams. They all turned to me the moment I walked in, every eye accessing my figure.Mrs Williams looked like she wanted to say something to me, yet she didn't. Muttering a word of greetings to her, I then proceeded to the corner of the living room, unsure of what to do. "Tara, I'm sure by now, your daughter has told you what's going on" The voice of Mrs Williams broke the silence in the room. Miss Tara at once have a nod to the la
7:20 am, I stared at the wall clock, gaze peering at it. It was just past the time of resumption, yet none of the maids had arrived. Finger snatching my apron from its rack, I got to work immediately. The kitchen remained in a mess after the party last night, even after Arabella had helped clean it up. Arabella. Sadness crossed my eyes at the thought of her. Even though the girl and I were just getting to know each other, I found myself missing her. The sound of feet approaching the kitchen, snapped me out of my thoughts as I turned to the entrance, staring at whoever was walking through there. Cameron. His gaze rested on me for a few seconds, accessing my figure, and suddenly, he began advancing towards me. Getting up to my feet slowly, I stepped backwards while he drew closer, gaze holding mine strongly.Taking steps back, my body touched the kitchen island, stating there was no where else for me to turn to. He stood right in front of me, placing his hands on the kitchen
My eyes fixed on my mom, mind finding it hard process all she just said."You're to stop work there" I replayed her words in my head. She had just informed me for whatever reason known to her that I had to stop working at the Williams mansion, because she had enrolled me into a public school, which was not far from where we lived. According to her, I had to begin school the next day. "Mom, you should have at least asked me first, before enrolling me into any school" I uttered, interrupting her. "Aren't you tired of staying home doing nothing, while your peers go to school and learn?" She questioned. "Of course, I wanna go to school""This is just so sudden. Plus, I can't stop working at the Williams mansion" "I need to keep working there, so we can take good care of ourselves" I said to her. "Nia, you must go there tomorrow, and tell them you're no longer working""it's as simple as that" She stated, giving me a warm smile, and then leaving the living room. Meanwhile I drowne
