The late afternoon had ended with us winning the tournament. Rainwood was the winner, only because of their Captain otherwise we would have been dead ants.Caleb looked a bit sad but his wide smile had lifted up the gloomy atmosphere that was lurking around his teammates. “Yo Lina.” Ares whispered from behind, earning a shriek from me. “Holy chicken nuggets.” I instantly turned around and saw him smirk at me. “The little girl gets scared too, huh?” He teased, giving me a childish grin.“Try that one more time and I swear to god you’ll be 6ft under ground.” I huffed with a pout.“Awh, I’m scared.” He placed his palm on his cheek, leaving me chuckling at his cute behaviour. “I swear you don't want to anger the one who knows how to kill people." Winking at him, I gave him one of my menacing smile that left him all flabbergasted.“Ares, stop bothering her, you annoying piece of shit.” Caleb tsked, as he stalked towards me with a raging Apollo following behind. “Back off, hottie.” Ares gri

Fucking nonsense. Three days had passed by. He never acknowledged me even if I sat beside him during Math hours.Fucking seventy two hours had passed since I heard his voice.After the tournament, I didn't had the energy to go to the party. Apologizing to the trio, I had ended up sniffling and crying in the room with a box of tissues beside me.How pathetic of me. Right now, I had been sitting in the corner near the window, nausea hitting me after every second. The bruises were still aching. That fucker landed some harsh punches on me. Got to deal with him later on. “Class finished. Don't forget to write the essay, the due date is next Monday.” The science teacher---Miss Hailey stated, arranging the books.Series of groans were heard from the students.Ignoring, I packed my bag and strided out towards the cafeteria. My group was no where to be seen, they were probably ditching school today since they had decided last night to escape this hell hole for a while.Lucky them.Grabbing

The little girl ran hastily in the middle of the night. Her little feet brushed against the thorny bushes on the muddy ground. Her labored breathing and the burning within her chest grew as her will to fight grew and grew after each second. The same deep voice ringing within her mind; “run as fast you can and don't look back.” The monsters she was told to hide from were chasing her without any effort. The adrenaline pumping in her veins left her all sweaty and tired. Her legs almost gave away when her body collided with the huge rock infront of her.“Catch her, quick.” Turning around, she saw several men just a few meters away. Grabbing the rock for support, she stood up and ran off again, without worrying about the pain that was surfing on her stomach. Her erratic thumping heart telling her to run for her life. Swiftly, she came across a small cave. The thick and protruding branches lingering infront of it having it concealed from naked eyes. She pushed herself inside, the sha

The bad memories often come back to you in your nightmares, disturbing the once peaceful moments of life.I was always a firm believer of love.Growing up, mom and dad had loved me, pampering my little self to such extent that it was impossible to live without them. Once, I tried to lock myself in the room all angry just because mama hadn’t bought me my favorite chocolate, but then daddy came running with a bag full of sweets and candies.Those days were the best days. No sadness, nothing. As time passed slowly, everything crumbled down, leaving me in utter emptiness.That day when he brought me to visit my dad, the naive girl within me thought he was going to let us live but I was wrong.Extremely wrong.He killed daddy infront of my eyes, slowly yet with immense torture. With daddy, he killed my soul as well. “Celestina?”Stay with me. The film was on repeat, cruelly. His dead gaze had erased me from this numb world. There was nothing I could do. Only to blame myself.The biggest

Destiny can sometimes be cruel. Very cruel.“Another one.”The guy infront me sighed as he rubbed the counter with the cloth. “Are you sure?”Nodding, I slid the glass towards him. “Stronger this time.” Shaking his head, he replied, “I’m afraid not. You’ve already drank twenty-two shots in a row.”Rubbing my temple, I looked at him in disbelief, “can't a human drink away their sorrows?”“You’re underage.”“And suddenly everyone dancing and drinking here---is at legal age.” Scoffing, I hopped off the chair.Digging through my purse, I roughly placed the cash on the counter. “Thanks for the service. Hopefully I never come here again.”Without hearing his answer, I stumbled out of the club.The off-shoulder tightened thigh length fabric around my body made it difficult for me too breathe.“Such a hottie.”Wiping off the sweat, I walked pass the group of drunken boys. “Hey baby, come here.” One of them said.Ignoring, I kept on moving until I was a few meters away from them.“Ignoring, da

Zachariah;Her eyes.Her slightest touch.Everything was intoxicating and addictive. My body yearned to be eaten up whole by her. She was a sweet yet sour candy who everyone wanted to swallow.It was wrong but it felt so right. That day when she had been conversing with those three guys from the other school, had sparked something within me. My hands ached to rip off there arms away from her. It was as if jealousy had consumed my insides.Was I that jealous? She was dangerously occupying my brain.The feel of her lips still lingered on mine. She was one of the dominant kind who wanted to have her way with everything. And I? I let her claim me like a piece of desperate human I was. Sighing, I took a bite of the chilli nugget burger.“-Zach are you even listening?”Tilting my head, I starred at Scarlett who had her both eyebrows arched at me in confusion. “Were you even listening to the rant?” She asked with a hint of anger to her tone.“Huh?”“Zach when are you gonna start acting li

“Tina. Long time no see.” Flora gave me a side hug. The dark bags under her eyes were more evident than usual. Humming, I nodded.It had actually been a while since I last had a talk with Flora. She was always busy with that jock who didn't care about her.She was just stuck in a toxic relationship.“How have you been?” she smiled weakly, the once usual shiny aura dulling with time.“Great. You?”“I’m.. okay.” She hesitantly spoke while fidgeting with her fingers. “I-” Sighing, she leaned back on the bench, closing her eyes. “-I’m sorry.”“I’m sorry f..for ignoring you. I’m sorry for not talking to you.”“Don't worry, Flora. No need to say sorry. You must have your reasons.” I replied, whilst staring at our class who busy playing basketball on the school grounds. “No. I am sorry. I’m such a shitty friend.”She grabbed my hand and placed it on her lap, her fingers intervened with mine. “Les, I’m really really sorry.”Sighing, I mimicked her position. “Are you okay? you look like you've

All of my life, I stayed away from people thinking if I ever got close to them, they would get hurt.Boy, I was right.Father died infront of my own eyes. His men that came to find me were shot dead in an unknown valley. Mother didn't care about me. Ares is god knows where or maybe dead?I hissed under my breath. “Ugh, nuisance.”“Got something to say, Miss Vidal? mind telling the whole class?” Our lab instructor cocked an eyebrow at me. Giving him a forced grin, I shook my head, “just thinking that you could look even more decent if you'd stop wearing those huge sponge bob specs.”Instantly the whole class erupted into laughter whilst I could see a trail of red steam coming out of his ears. “Out, Vidal.”“Oh please. I’ve heard this sentence a millions time. Try something new and I’ll gladly leave.” Leaning back, I checked out my fresh flowery manicure that was done by Flora herself, a few hours earlier.“Should I call your mother?” he gritted out as he adjusted those hideous specs. “
