August, 07 2016"I'm glad to hear you're doing well in school again, Archer." Mom welcomed me with a proud smile on her lips. She received a phone call early this morning from our homeroom teacher, who informed her that my grades were improving and were much higher than before. I simply smiled at her and went back to eating our breakfast."Well, I think you should probably rejoin the basketball team as well; your coach asked me again a few weeks ago if you are still willing—""I'm not thinking about going back, Dad." I quickly avoided his question while chewing the food in my mouth. I didn't bother looking at his face because I was already aware that he had a scowl on his face."Why not if it will benefit your studies? I believe you should—"

Sierra abruptly drew away, and from that moment I saw a reluctance sparkled in her eyes, but when she was about to open the door again, I quickly grabbed her waist, glued my other hand on her back, and pushed her to the door, which automatically closed as a result of what I did."Archer, what are you doing?" Her eyes were filled with bewilderment as she murmured to me. While still looking at her lips, I licked my bottom lip. The rush in my veins intensifies, and all I want to do is close the gap between us, kiss her passionately, and touch her all over her body. I miss her, and she has no idea how badly I want to be this close to her again."Tell me to stop, tell me to forget everything about you, tell me to utterly let go of you..." Unlike my heart, which is racing, my voice is drowning in waves, and a tear trickled down my cheek as I spoke. I placed my brow o

I smiled, but as she tried to leave, I hugged her and leaned her on the shelf behind her, completely trapping her with my hands that were still wrapped around her waist."Archer!" She half-whispered and half-yelled at me, but I merely chuckled as my head lay on the side of her neck; she slapped my arms, but I never let go of her."I'll let you go only if you let me buy you that book." I compromised. She slapped my back, but when I sucked her earlobe, she moaned and buried her nails into my shoulders. I licked her neck, which increased her desire to get away from me, because she may have become hesitant after feeling the arousal of it."A-Archer, not here…" When she begged me to stop, her voice lowered and became more airy."Then, let me buy you that book," I whisp

I'm nervous right now for an unknown reason, perhaps because today is different. I've already met Sierra's aunt, but now is the first time I'll formally introduce myself to her. I try to avoid Jade whenever I visit their bakery, and she does the same too. I wasn't doing it because I disliked her, but because I could sense her facial expression of obvious disapproval of me being Sierra's boyfriend anytime she saw me in their bakery.I remembered Jade asking me if I was certain about my love for Sierra. I told her with an honest "yes," but her eyes remained skeptical. I understand her hesitation because she's thinking about my family background and is concerned that my parents will disgrace them or order them to stay away from me. But I lied to her and told her that my parents were supportive of Sierra and me; perhaps Jade didn't tell Sierra about this, which is why Sierra was upset to learn that my parents

September 22, 2016 I waited almost two weeks before reporting Robert's illegal activities to the police because I didn't want Sierra to know who reported it if I did it the same day I went to their house. I didn't introduce myself to the cops; instead, I dialed their number from a payphone. I told the cops that Robert was using drugs and abusing the women who were with him at home, and then I gave them the address of Sierra's house. The cops went to Sierra's residence late at night so Robert wouldn't notice that the police already knew what he's up to.    I also went there secretly and watched from a distance, right when the police arrived; Robert was hurting Jade, which confirmed my report, many drugs were confiscated in their house, people got upset outside and couldn't believe Robert could do that because they thought this man was decent and kind
