So you are an exchange student right, who are you living with?" Kate questions me. It's lunch now, and we are all sitting at our usual table.
Shoot, not the question I was expecting. What do I do, what do I do?
"Um.. uh.. so the thing is...you see.."
"Hey, guys, whatcha doing?" Noah interrupts.
I have never been more happier for the interruption. I could kiss you right now, Noah.
"Oh, we were just simply asking Kiara who she is living with." Ava tells Noah.
"Well, forget that. Do you know what happened in English class today?" Noah asks them.
I roll my eyes at him. Let's just say that our class was interesting due to the class clown that is Noah.
"Don't tell me you did one of your famous pranks on the teacher, and you cancelled English class." Ava says with fake enthusiasm while waving her hands.
"Uh, how did you know? Are you stalking me? ohhhh don't tell me that Kiara is actually a spy working for you. Do you
Hi everyone. It is the author here. Thank you for reading my book. I appreciate each and every one of you. Let me know what you think of this book. Jesus loves you
It is another day in school. Noah and I are sitting in English class, we are waiting for Mr William to come. Sir comes inside after a few minutes, places a cup of coffee on the table and leaves, telling us that he will be back in five minutes.I turn to Noah and see him looking at the coffee cup with a grin that screams PRANK. Oh no, not again.“Noah, no, whatever you are thinking, don’t do it. You don’t want to add another detention to your record, do you?” I try to persuade him.He looks at me, the grin on his face never leaving. He simply gets up, goes to the table and does a 360-degree check to make sure no one is watching him. He lifts the coffee cup and takes a chewing gum out of his pocket, chews on it for a few seconds, and sticks the chewed gum on the table and places the cup on top of it and presses it firmly. He tries to move the cup, and it doesn’t even budge. I can actually see the steam from the coffee. Mr Willia
It is finally the weekend. I am so happy that the weekend has arrived. I don’t have much homework since it is only the first week of school. I would love to invite my friends over. But they don't know that I live with Reed.“Youngblood say you want itSay you want meSay you want meOut of your lifeAnd I am just a dead man walking tonight.”I was singing youngblood by 5 seconds of summer and dancing in my room with my hairbrush. Then I suddenly see a flash go off. I immediately stop my dancing and look towards my door to see Reed running away.I chase him, my concert forgot, and I hear him laugh while running down the stairs. I am going to kill him. I run down the stairs, and I see him running behind the counter. I thank God because I can run fast. I climb over the counter, and before he escapes, I jump on him to stop his running.Reed
I am on my way to church with Reed driving me. I hope I see Andrew again today.“Text me when it’s over, and I will pick you up,” Reed informs.“Sure, bye,” I say with a smile and head inside. I see Andrew sitting in his usual place at the last bench. I smile.I take my place beside him and say a small word of prayer before smiling at him. He smiles back. Soon the service comes to an end, and I send Reed a text informing him to pick me. I turn to Andrew to talk to him and find him already looking at me.“Umm, I just... um you know want to say thank you for what you did back there.” he thanks me with a shy smile. I raise my eyebrow, clueless on why he is thanking me. Suddenly, everything becomes clear... The backpack. I wonder why it looked familiar. It is the same backpack I got Andrew, for Christmas. So, these people have been bullying Andrew all this time. I feel terrible that I didn’t even recognize Andre
Now Reed, Noah, Kate, Luke and I are sitting in history class. Ms Brown is teaching us about, I have no idea since I am not even listening. What is the point of studying the past if the information is not even useful in the future? What? While we are guessing how many tomatoes we have to add for soup, we will be thinking about Hitler?Noah was trying to float the feather before him with a stick while muttering, ‘wingardium leviosa.’ I roll my eyes.“Mr Anderson.” Ms Brown calls Noah. But Noah did not hear her and, she tries two more times.“Mr ANDERSON.” she finally snaps. Noah gets startled and falls off the chair, and the class erupts into laughter. Noah clumsily stands up and straightens his shirt.“Wingardium leviosa?" he asks, and I chuckle but disguise it as a cough.“Pardon,” Ms Brown asks. Noah clears his throat and answers“Um, sorry. Yes, Ms Brown?”“I w
“KIARAAA,” Ava shouts, running towards me, and a few people look at her weirdly. I motion towards Ava and me and say, “she is not my friend, and I don’t know her,” to the students.She comes over to me and smacks my head while shouting, “Don’t believe her, she is my best friend”. I glare at her while I rub my head.“Kiara, we have our last football match this Friday, and you are coming,” Ava says enthusiastically. Oh yeah, our junior year is coming to an end, then we have our summer vacation. I might go back to India to meet everyone.“I have to ask my host. I will ask them and let you know,” I inform Ava.“Fine, so on Saturday morning, we are all going to Kate's house, and if you want, I can pick you up,” she tells me.Oh no, if she picks me up, I will have to give her my address and then she will know that I am living with Reed, and it will be a problem.
All of us are heading towards the after-party. We reach the destination, and even before getting out of the car, I can hear the music from the house.I go inside with my friends, and instantly I can smell the alcohol. I see my classmates either drinking or dancing. I spot Reed among the crowd and give him a small smile.Suddenly someone places a cup in my hand. I look up and see Luke.“What is this”? I ask him“Alcohol,” he states in a duh tone.“I don’t drink, Luke,” I deadpan. His eyes widen.“So, you have never had a drink before?” he questions. I shake my head.“Ok, wait here, I will get you coke or Pepsi,” he tells me and leaves.“So, how are you liking it so far?” Ava asks once she approaches me.“It's fine, I guess,” I shrug.“Ava, come on, let's dance,” Noah invites, asking for her hand.Ava blushes
This is the day that I am going to tell my friends that I am living with Reed. Saying that I am nervous would be an understatement. I am freaking out. What if they decide they don't want to be my friends anymore? What if they hate me for lying to them? What if…Suddenly two arms catch my shoulder to stop my pacing. I look into Reed's beautiful brown eyes.“Sparkle, pacing in the living room is not going to make you less nervous. Go take a shower and wait for your friends,” he tells me and pushes me to my room.I told my friends to come to her at 11 and gave them the address. It is currently 10:15, so I have time to shower. I grab a tie-dye hoodie and legging and head inside for a shower. After taking a shower, I come outside the bathroom and scream.“AHHHH,”AHHHHHHHHHHH," Noah also screams when I scream. I give him a deadpan look.“What? You startled me,” he tells me with a shrug.“Wha
Hehe, it is finally April fools day, the best day of my life, well after my birthday. So now I am doing what I am best at, PRANKS. It is 5:45 in the morning, and I am in Ryder’s bathroom applying nail polish to his soap with a grin on my face. After that, I add black hair dye to his shampoo. After that, I stick a fake cockroach on the inside of the lamp and tiptoe to Reed’s room.I do the same thing to his soap and shampoo and stick the fake cockroach, and I also place an airhorn behind his bathroom door and go back to my room.I facetime Keith and he picks up the call after 2 rings since it is only 7 in the evening. I burst out laughing, looking at his face. He is completely covered in glitter, his teeth are black in colour, and he is trying to remove gum from his hair.“Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want, Ara,” he mumbles. And I do, I keep laughing because Keith is a good prankster, and he is also c
