Today is my first day back in school and I'm so excited to be back. Today is also the first day when I get to go outside and live free. The news of my kidnap has been on some major channels especially since my kidnapper escaped from the hospital where he was taken since he has been sick for a while. I was going all out with my outfit for the day in my opinion. White canvas with blue jeans, a white crop top and a jean jacket. My fading brown hair was packed in a messy bun and few curls were left to frame my face. I tried to wing on an eyeliner but ended up wiping it up and settling for a nude shape lipstick I found on my mom's dresser. I should get makeup now and more chic clothes, I can't be the boring girl that always wore sweatpants anymore, I was Luka's girlfriend. Luka Donatelli; the hottest guy on campus. My mom was flipping pancakes when I got downstairs and she gave me a look of approval with a proud smile. "Someone is excited to be going back to school," she teased with a
He left. After I told him I didn't want people in school to know about us in a relationship, he just got out of the car and left. It was what I wanted but truth be told I didn't expect him to accept easily. I got out immediately after him and he locked the car. I walked behind him, but he was taken giant steps towards the class making sure there was much distance between us which I didn't like at all.On the hallway everyone was looking at me strangely. Some with pity, others in curiosity, and the last bunch with disdain. Our class was no any different. The moment I entered the rowdy class quieted down and everyone was whispering about me. It reminded me of the first day Luka got here. I wiped my seat and desk before I sat down and turned to give Luka a quick stare but he was looking outside the window ignoring all of us. Immediately the teacher came in, she referenced my return and I tried to smile and politely answer as much as I could about my absence. She didn't look satisfied
This wasn't how I envisioned today to go when I woke up this morning. I understand why Jamie, Luka and Maya were angry but I didn't understand why Tammy was. I didn't even have the chance to follow her either. The moment she got up, Dolly 1 and Dolly sat in her spot and Maya's grip on my arm was unrelenting. "we are not done talking." I sighed and sat back down. At least I understood why she was mad, Luka used her. "I heard about what happened to you," my heart stopped and I turned to look at her with pleading eyes. "Apparently your real name isn't even Bella. You've been here living under a lie. Samantha it is right? Should I call you Sam or Sammy?" The smile she sent me was too sweet and if you were looking on from the outside we actually looked like friends hanging out together. "My name is Isabella." I have gotten used to it. "You took something from me that was never yours and now I'm going to ruin you." Her long claws that were digging in my wrist was enough to draw blood
I rang the doorbell and pulled my jacket closer to stop the shivers I got as a result of the cold of the evening air. After school I walked home, avoiding the ride back with Luka to get a little bit of time to clear my head. Immediately I got home, I dropped my school bag, picked an apple and headed to Jamie's apartment. It's been two days of me being fully friendless. You'll think a girl gets kidnapped and her friends will stay in her life. Tammy was also now not talking to me, I tried to reach out to her during lunch break today and she had carried her plate and left. She wasn't even hanging out with new people; she just didn't want to talk to me. All day in school it was just me, trying not to be seen with Luka while taking our kids break as he liked to call it in the art room. He didn't look like he was happy with my decision to keep my relationship with him under wraps either, it just seemed like he accepted it for my sake. That's why I'm here now. I was going to fix all my f
"Are you embarrassed of me? Or is it just to be seen with me?" Luka gave a dry chuckle but the question shocked me so much I got up startled and hit my head on the board. "Ouch." He was up almost immediately to check on me and where I hit my head. He rubbed the spot massaging it gently with his fingertips. His kindness made my heart clench. I grabbed the bottle of water that usually sat on my bed stand and took a long swig then wore my panties back and paddled away to find something better to wear. "I didn't ask you that question just so you can get dressed, " he called out after me. I returned still naked and I picked up the black tee shirt he came in. It fell way past my hips and it smelled like him. He didn't bother dressing up but I picked his briefs and tossed it his way. "If I knew the question was going to make me lose my view I shouldn't have asked," he grudgingly wore his briefs and sat up in bed. "I want us to be dressed so that you can understand the severity of what I
"Isabella, open the door right this minute!" My mom yelled while we scrambled around. Luka struggled to put on his clothes while I struggled to find something else to wear. He gathered his jacket and boots and moved towards the toilet. "What are you doing?" I whispered in shock, pulling him back, "you need to go, like in that direction," I pointed towards the window and he nodded, struggling to put on his shoes as he trailed in that direction. I rushed after him and watched him climb down, as lithe as a jumping monkey. The moment he jumped out, I struggled to smooth the bed as much as I could. I just hoped the air didn't smell of sex and all of that. "Isabella!" The octave of her voice was deeper and I knew that she was close to her elastic limit at this point. "I'm coming mum," I answered groggily and opened the door. I rubbed my eyes with my knuckle and used the best sleeping voice I had, "what is it mum?" She pushed past me to enter the room and looked around. "So you want to
Tammy: I'm ready to tell you the truth now, let's talk tonight at my placeMe: alright. Today was the last day of school exams. It's been a whole month of me figuring life by myself without my old friends, constant bullying from Maya and hiding my relationship with Luka. He didn't seem content with it till now but he allowed me, as long as we didn't let hiding away spill into our time with each other. "Who is that?" Luka asked now and I turned to face him and shook my head, "nothing important.""It definitely is. Look at the expression on your face, the question made you sad." He squeezed my thigh gently for support and I gave him a small smile. "It's Tammy. She wants us to talk tonight." I sighed heavily and looked out the window. The last one month everytime I tried talking to her she kept avoiding me. I can't shake off the fact that this time around it's something different. She was also more withdrawn in school, like something was going on with her. "Oh." Luka scoffed and fac
"Hold the pose," Luka commanded. I looked at the boy in front of me with shiny bright eyes with Tacos by the side and a drawing pad in front of him. How did I get here? One minute I was trying to explain to him that I had lots of stuff to do after practise. The next I was trying to list all the reasons why I wasn't going to leave school with him and the next I'm leaving with him, we were getting food from a food truck and driving to the ocean. I stared at the ocean, relaxing and breathing in the clean air. It made sense why Luka said being by the water was his best thing. His eyes were focused on travelling between me and his drawing pad. There was nothing for me to do except to sit still, breathe, and stare at him. I'm still in awe of how I feel whenever I look at him. It's like fireworks and warmth explode inside my chest and I'm overwhelmed with affection and tenderness. The need to never see him hurt or lack or suffer just engulfs me. My mom was right. I have it so bad for h
