“Great! The more the merrier, now Adams wouldn’t be so lonely.” Jake mocked as he winked at Erika playfully, giving her the creeps
“There’s nothing wrong with being alone, you should try it sometime.” His implications gave her the urge to puke her stomach out. What was it that Keisha and those shallow minded girls saw in him? that would forever remain a mystery.
“Only an ugly turd would think like that, humph! The only thing you’re capable of attracting are flies. No guy in their right mind would ever choose a fake poser, pretending to be poor and pitiful just to steal the heart of an innocent fool.” Britney spoke confidently, almost positive that Jeremy would buy the gossiping lies she cooked-up in her head and made sure to spread throughout the school.
“That’s enough! Can’t you keep your mouth shut for once in your life? You wil
sorry for the late update, please continue to read and support my work. lots of love (inntri).
“You can’t just sit here all night long; don’t you have to rush back and apologize to Miss loony-bin in there?” Erika grumbled seeing the boy had no intention of leaving. “Why should I? I was only stating the facts.” Jeremy indifferent laid back on the clayed pavers, rested his head in the palms of his hands in a crouching position. “But she’s your girlfriend and what about your family? Knowing her I think its safe to say she wasn’t bluffing, obsessive bi… umm… people never do.” Erika bit her tongue realizing she was about to yet again issue a much deserving insult, but the person she was directing it to happened to be entangled with the guy beside her, she wasn’t about to stoop that low. Even if she was secretly burying unexplored feelings for him, unlike the typical bratty self-observed plastics, she would never seek an opportunity to defame another in an attempt to glorify herself.
“Jeremy, get your lazy ass out of bed this instance! Are you even my son? Wake up you ungrateful brat!” Thomas yelled angrily, banging his fist against the teen’s door. Groaning irritable from the lack of sleep, tossing and turning all night wondering how to explain his feelings to Erika, the sudden disturbance only added fuel to his already burning agony. Pulling the sheets over his head, burying himself under the quilts, Jeremy tried to completely ignore the reality of his actions. After awhile the knocks finally faded, but soon the sound of the door being unlocked with most likely a spare set of keys could be heard, followed by the feeling of cool air upon his shirtless naked upper body as the self-made cocoon covering him was rudely removed. “Leave me alone…” Jeremy grumbled reaching for a pillow to once again bury his aching head in. &nbs
“Young man, isn’t it a bit too early to be drinking?” Richard replied almost instantly thinking the boy had lost his mind making such a stupid straightforward request. “Sorry Mr. Stevens, please don’t get me wrong… ummm I have to go now, but I’m being sobering with seriousness, if it’s okay I’ll like to meet you later, thank you.” Seeing his father signaling him from a distance, Jeremy hurriedly disconnected the call after making a one-sided overdue appointment. “Are you ready son? Don’t forget what I told you, make things right with Britney and stay away from Erika.” Thomas patted the teen’s shoulder motioning him into the car On the other hand, the clueless girl had woken up full of energy and brimming with smiles, refreshed at the thought of being kissed for the first time by her secret crush. Although a part of her was conflic
‘God, I hope I didn’t overdo it, there must be at least a handful of people tired of the rein of Miss popularity and would be willing to join the squad. Then again, who would actually choose to sign such a death sentence waring against that psycho? besides me of course.’ Erika was lost in her usual world of self- reasoning, as she managed to once more escape Jeremy’s chase through the crowd of students, anxious to gain freedom from Math class at the end of the day. In the school’s auditorium, she stood briskly with eyes fixed at the double door entrance filled with wavering expectations, but soon ten minutes turned into twenty without the slightest hint of a shadow approaching. Thankfully band practice was held on the field today along with the football team’s final preparation, how embarrassing it would have been for her to be rejected by a college occupied with hundreds of students, seventy percent being girls yet th
‘Holy shit! What just happened?’ Erika mentally cursed herself, now realizing she had fallen head first into Marcus’ cunning tricks. “Hi I’m Rose, this is Lisa, Hazel, Abby and Randy. We heard you were looking for a team?” A sweet and innocent girl with a bright personality introduced herself and the four alongside her. “Yesss… but how… ummm… why?” stumbling for her words, Erika stood there with a puzzled expression. Even if she was hoping someone would be willing to assist, in all honesty she really didn’t believe they would. “Jeremy asked, so why not?” Randy shrugged adding, “Abby’s my twin sister and Lisa is my girlfriend.” “Which homeroom are you guys from?” Erika questioned the unfamiliar faces. “Well, Rose and Hazel are from professor Welton’s business and fin
“No need to apologize Chelsey, your brother and I were just having a friendly discussion.” “Mr. Richards, I don’t know what he told you but I’m sure he was only kidding.” Unfortunately, she had only heard the latter part of their conversation, but judging from his words it wasn’t good. Usually when someone says with all due respect, they were politely criticizing the listener. In this case the man on the receiving end should not even be on the list of persons to provoke. “Chels… please stay out of this, I’m dead serious, dad can’t continue to dictate our lives. I need to know if he’s lying to me so I’ll be better prepared moving forward from there.” Thinking his sister had overheard everything, Jeremy stood his ground firmly. “What are you taking about?” Confused, she quickly turned her attention to the teen with a questioning look. &nbs
“I should have seen this coming?” Jeremy mumbled recalling his attempt to threaten Thomas with revealing his methods to Patricia, no wonder he acted so heartless in his demands. The man really could care less about divorcing his wife, the only benefit he found in continuing their marriage was to manipulate the three of them. “The reason I was able to make a clean brake from the business deal he himself forced, was because I managed to convince Treavor and his parents that it would be at a loss for us all to be entangled in an unhealthy relationship where neither of us were in love. He merely admired my personality, that is not the same as being in love.” Chelsey bitterly explained. “I thought you said he disowned you after you refused to get marry and mom could not handle dad’s ruthless determination so she left him.” Jeremy tried clarifying bits and pieces he v
“Ha! I knew it! You two clueless fools like each other.” Marcus excitedly shook the startled girl beside him and made poor uncle Sam panic at the scene. Although he had not heard their conversation, the reaction of the teen was enough for him to inadvertently reduce his driving pace. “Young Miss are you alright?” Glancing through the rereview mirror he fearfully inquired. “Of course she is, heck I’m happy…. This is amazing news! I can’t wait to tell…” Marcus big mouth was about to blurt out what he shouldn’t. “I got a team for tomorrow’s game, he wants to tell Mrs. Vincent, the school’s cheerleading coordinator.” Hastily placing her hand over his blabbering mouth, Erika awkwardly lied. The last thing she needed was the old man reporting to her dad. “This is between our squad, no need to get involved. You are not going to breathe a word of this to anyone, some surpri
