A good sleep was all she had needed, Nicole thought as she made her way to the house. She was feeling so refreshed and re-energized, she wondered what George had done to her to make her feel so. Walking alongside her school mates as they all went to their respective homes, Nicole felt multiple eyes on her as she walked, looking around, they all pretended to look elsewhere Nicole wondered why she was being watched. Panicked, she hoped her father had not sent them to watch her on her way home. She would have to conduct herself well as she walked.
Pulling her school uniform straighter, she hugged her arms to herself and began her lonely walk home. The house was unusually quiet and peaceful by the time she got home of which she was grateful, it would give
George was resting blissfully with a full smile on his lips as the image of Nicole’s cute face kept on replaying on his mind. Though days had passed after that, the picture was still clear in his brain. She was so breathtakingly beautiful; he always felt the urge to kiss her whenever he was around her.A sudden beep on his phone cut off his fantasy. George ignored and continued smiling at his memories, digging himself deeper into his world of imaginations. He crushed the pillow to his body, hugging it tighter. His phone began beeping rapidly as series of messages kept on entering, it was almost like a phone call at the rapid way the messages were been sent and received.
After Nicole’s fight with her father, the two of them pretty much kept to themselves. He spends more of his time attending parties with Cyrus father Kelvin Kaye, of which Nicole was grateful. The less they saw of each other, the better for everyone.She had been on the search for George, but he was avoiding her and she was sure of it. She had spotted him twice during sport’s period, on her attempt to talk to him, he had disappeared. She wondered why he was ignoring her so, it was almost as if he was not the boy who went about the school following her everywhere or had her father threatened him? It was not unlikely. Her father was a despicable man.
George snapped his head up in denial" No, I did not say that"Nicole puzzled looked at him inquisitively " no, I heard you say something about hurting me"Seeing she would not drop it, he changed tactics" Oh that, there was a piece of glass in the grass, " he pointed at the grass looking for the nonexistent glassDramatically moving her around, till they left the spot they were. Nicole started laughing as soon as they left.George watched her laugh, she was so beautiful. It ached to have to do this to her. She no doubt felt complete with him by her side, she was so insecure when it came to love.The rowdy atmosphere of the Cafeteria soon got to them. Nicole was perplexed"Come on let's go check," George said holding her hands firmly."No, we can't go together, Dad would question me and he is going to be really mean about it," she said sadly" Alright, you go then, I
Nicole noticed she had been feeling apprehensive ever since she had eye contact with Marie Richwood, the girl was so venomous. She now understood why George had repeatedly begged her to stay clear of Marie. Ever since the teacher came in to give the directive, she kept on looking behind her; she had a gut feeling Marie was going to hurt her if she did not explain herself soon. Her father in his office had questioned Marie over her open declaration of love for Cyrus. Their seats had been swiped also, Nicole was told to sit beside Cyrus while Marie sat behind them, It was then the feeling of dread had started, she began to feel as if a thousand pins were sticking itself in her whenever she sat down. Even Cyrus had been stiff with her, he no doubts also t
The cold afternoon was not doing justice to the hot grounds George was currently standing on, he cursed Marie a hundred times. Nicole’s tender eyes were trained on him, arms akimbo. He began thinking of several excuses in his brain that would not bring tears to her eyes.He moved close to gather her in his arms, she stood stiffly, she neither refused his touch nor gave in to it.“George I asked you a question, what was that about? I ran after her thinking she was coming to threaten you or something, but you two are definitely up to something” She declared, looking at him menacingly
Nicole waited till classes were over, before making her move. Nicole was waiting nervously in the classroom for Cyrus, when she had made the suggestion to Cyrus the idea had sounded so easy in her ears, now she was beginning to get cold feet. Cyrus hearing her out would take a miracle, not with the way, she had clung to him before like a love-starved animal.It was the perfect opportunity to talk to Cyrus, Marie had not returned to the classroom after her screaming match with George. She knew the blond would no doubt pull her hair out one after the other if she saw them both together. She arranged and rearranged her books in her d
The school environment was quiet, as the students had all been dispatched to their homes, Principal Francis was on his usual school patrol, to ensure no student was left behind in the school building. High schoolers were so unpredictable. There was every possibility some were lurking around. He cursed silently as he walked down the road to the school hall, He had left his phone behind in his office, so he was not able to monitor Nicole’s whereabouts, He had not seen his so call daughter throughout the day. The school’s CCTV camera footage was connected to his phone so he could find her whenever he wished. The girl was getting very daring for his liking, he would have to cut off her wing soon eno
A pin could drop and its noise would be heard in the Computer laboratory as Nicole and George both went pale at the sight of Principal Francis conversing with Cyrus. Nicole heaved a sigh of relief as they left, she was happy she had made peace with Cyrus earlier on; at least their secret was protected.“Goodness, we were almost caught?” George looked at her seriously, he cupped her face in his hands, tilting it up to look at him ”But how long do we have to hide away like this?”Nicole
