Sapphire I was oddly squirming in between a bunch of random people that I had never talked to in my entire existence at Autumn Ville High School. As I tried to be the person I was not, I tried to pull different kinds of smiles. Some fake, some genuine, some forced and some weird. In the end, I was putting up a fake show. Although Parker wasn’t one of my closest friends, I knew him well enough to know who he hangs out with. I didn’t speak to any of his friends much in the past apart from Chloe. Chloe was just a very sweet person and didn’t speak to a lot of people. But the few people she spoke to, she values their friendship a lot. The fact that Chloe was going to be at the table helped convince me to sit with Parker today. Jake was an amazing guy, I'm not complaining. He's been trying to pull me into conversations but I wished that he knew that I suck at sports. Chloe's been really friendly with me. She was the one that actually wanted me here, in the first place. So, I'm kind of
Sapphire. I had History after the lunch and luckily, I was in time when the class was just about to begin. The teacher just arrived and had excused me since I'm never late. I made up a genuine reason and she seemed okay with it. Brett's in my history but he didn't turn up today. Strange. He never misses any of his classes. Yea, talk about the nerd now. When I survived almost half of the lecture my eyelids began to fall and I had a really tough time pretending to understand what the teacher's been telling. I don't have anything against history. In fact, it's one of the subjects that I like, but I'm just too exhausted and the rant of the teacher which mostly seems like a melancholy song, happens to be the song that I'd wish to use to sleep. Thankfully, I had P.E after history, that would require me to pump up my veins and move my lazy ass out of the classrooms. I headed to our changing rooms and donned my sports dress. I might require to do a few pull-ups or squats that I've been fa
Sapphire As promised, Chloe arrived exactly on time to pick me up. Note the sarcasm. I have been doing a marathon to my windows and the couch, occasionally sitting down to rest my legs that might require more jumping and cheering later today. She promised to be here an hour ago but I don't find any trace of her. Nor do I know what she's upto. When I gave up on her and almost decided to call it off, Chloe pinged me that she's outside my house. I heaved an exasperated sigh. "I'm leaving Juliette. Will be back by 7." "Okay. Take care. And remember, no kiss cam-" "Juliette, we didn't even plan anything for the game." "Just saying." She shrugged it off. "Don't want you airing on live TV." I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the house. I spotted Chloe's car and went straight to it and got in. "Aren't you a little too early?" I asked. "Sorry Sapphire, you know how demanding the makeup is when you're a cheerleader." She said, pouting. "I wouldn't even wish." I mumbled, as she hit o
Sean. I broke the first thing that came into my hand. I ripped my shirt off my body and threw it onto the floor. I didn't even bother bathing properly as water just ran down my back and I stayed still in my position. I was fuming with anger. I could sense that every muscle in my body was tense. The events started playing my mind and I gripped my wet hair in frustration. Bloody hell. I stopped the shower and got out of the bath room to change. I changed into a pair of track pants and didn't bother wearing a shirt. It's chilling outside but I can hardly feel anything as my whole body wet numb with the cold water. I couldn't feel my fingers nor my toes as they are still frozen with the impact. With the cold and numbness outside, the blood in my body was boiling through the veins. Every piece in my body shook with anger and my palms instantly fisted at my side. I took deep breathes to control the fury that was rasing up in me but it all went vain as the the images came flashing to
Sean I was just driving around in the city,with no clue where I was heading. I was just randomly roaming about to different parts of the city, with my roof down, masking my face in the darkness. Cool air brushed against my face and numbness overtook the features of my face. I could hardly feel anything, where I was in a position to think of nothing. Nothing. I was sick with it. Sick of comforting myself over my heart breaks. Over the lies that I fed myself. Because truth is tough to know. And tougher to accept. But I was in a position where nothing can be undone. Everything was over. Everything. I heard the ring of my cell phone, making me snap out of my thoughts. I groaned and tossed it around. The rings faded away, only to come back again. Something at my heart tells me it's important. I reached for my phone and pulled it up. Focusing my eyes on the screen, I frowned looking at the caller ID. It was an unknown number. With curiosity I answer the call. I press the speaker t
Sapphire. The thumping on the door grew louder each time. I frantically ran back and forth, kicking the things that's came to my view and trying to search some loop hole that would let me of this place. My heart was thumping in my chest and demanded shivers that ran down my spine. I never felt this scared in my entire life. They will drug me if I go now. I can't risk it. And no one can help me. I am trapped. And suddenly, the door knob of the room broke. It fell on the floor, playing loud as the whole room went silent. I slowly approached the place and went towards the door. I unconsciously went for the broken door knob when the door blasted open, to reveal three hooded figures. "You thought you would escape and we'd let you do that?" A angry voice, which I assume is of Parker's, rang into the thin air. I gulped, staying rooted in my place. In an instant, Jake came closer to me and held my forearms tightly and pressed them together. I groaned in pain and he hushed me in the ear
Sean I was already shaking with anger when Sapphire completed narrating the story. She hesitated to look into my eyes, and oddly fumbled with the sheet of the bed. "I told you to stay away from him. He was dangerous. I knew he's messing with me. But never have I ever dreamed that he would do this." "I didn't know he was dangerous..." she mumbled. "I would have never been with him if had known.." "But why did you have to be so stubborn. I tried to tell you, Nina tried to tell you, you never listen. Did you even think of the consequences?" "In my defence, you never warned me. It was just Nina and I really am guilty about not listening to her. But why are you mad at me? I thought you've forgiven me." "Forgiven you for being foolish? Yes. Forgiven you for dating Parker? No." "Wait a second there. What makes you think that I ever dated him?" She scowled. I frowned. "What do you mean?" "That's exactly what I mean. I never dated him." What?! "What? Don't give me that look.. wait, d
Sapphire "D-Dad?" Juliette asked in disbelief. Disbelief, yes. Because standing before me was my father who disowned me years ago and whom I haven't seen for months. "Juliette. Jacob." He nodded his head. I was staring at him intently. How much I longed to look at that face. How many days I just wished he would come, if not to check up on me but at least to let me meet him. Only if I knew he would turn up if I end up in hospital, I would have tried drugging myself a lot earlier. "How is she?" He asked my sister. "I'm fine." I said. He turned to Jacob and asked. "The police?" "The students have been reported. They're interrogating them. They haven't taken Sapphire's statement yet." Sean answered for him. I almost forgot he came along with my father. My father looked at him and narrowed his eyes. "Who are you to her?" oh no.. "Boyfriend." Sean said proudly. I choked on my own saliva. What the hell??!! My father glared at him and then looked back at me. Is Sean out of his
