HIS SECOND CHOICE Teasing Game
“You wanna hang out tonight?” Serena asked Shanice as they made their way out of the cafeteria. “Not today. I have plans. We can hang out tomorrow,” Shanice replied, sounding a little apologetic. “Ohh,” Serena answered, feeling a bit disappointed. But she chirped up quickly. “Where you going today?” Serena asked, curious. Shanice shot her a bright smile. Her eyes sparked with passion and Serena couldn’t help but admire how gorgeous she looked. She was an effortless beauty. She could walk around straight out of bed and she would still turn heads. “I have a date tonight,” she revealed, grinning wide. Her blond tendrils were bouncing with her steps. She was exuding an inimitable grace. Serena perked up. “Really? Who was going to tell me? Who is he? Do I know him?” Serena fired questions, all excited.“I’ll tell you everything when the time is right. For now, I can only say he is a charmer,” Shanice explained to her. Serena wanted to know more but she didn’t push further. She w
HIS SECOND CHOICE Toxic
“Hey,” Serena looked up from her book to see Henry hovering over her desk. Their classes were over and they were in the library. Henry and Serena shared Chemistry and English classes. Serena was one of the few students who treated him with kindness. As always, Serena was sitting in her usual spot. She was waiting for Asher as he was yet to come. “Hi,” she smiled up at him. She wasn’t surprised to see him in the library. He was one of the regulars. Henry's eyes flared out slightly before he reached up to scratch his brow. “Ummm…actually I am looking for a book but I can’t seem to find it. I was wondering if you could help me,” he asked shyly. Serena like the helping soul she was nodded immediately. She jumped up from her chair and followed him into the lane. Together, they started looking for the book. “This book is very important for preparation. Do read it,” Henry suggested to her as he glided his fingers across the books' spine. Selena paused and looked him over in confusion.
HIS SECOND CHOICE When He Turns Cold
Today was Amanda's birthday bash. Serena was at Shanice's place to get ready. Shanice had insisted she get ready with her. Serena didn't have the budget to buy expensive clothes for parties. So when Shanice told her she was going to get ready with her tonight, she didn't refuse. That's how it was. Shanice would take her to the place and lend her one of her branded clothes. Initially, Serena used to refuse but Shanice always waved her off saying we only live once and high school is all about making friends and having fun. And as Shanice was a determined soul, she wouldn't leave Serena alone until she listened to her. "This one? It will look amazing on you," Shanice pulled out another expensive dress from her closet and showed it to Serena. It was a grey floral dress with a pearl-adorned neckline. It was stunning but the neckline was too deep. Shanice figured it out from her expression and put the dress back in the closet. She took out another. It was a black bodycon dress- wide sho
HIS SECOND CHOICE His Anger
It was a typical high school party bursting with loud music and drugs. The guests were welcomed with a super pumped Amanda and Mollie so that they loose up and enjoy. Amanda's parents were out, leaving the entire mansion to her. These billionaire kids had everything one could fancy at their disposal except for their parents' time. Serena was a little different from them in this regard- she didn't have her parents' love and she also didn't have money to bear the trauma of it. Sad life. Shanice's parents too were mostly on trips but they would still take out time for Shanice whenever they could. Shanice's parents were the only parent figures Serena had. Serena didn't consume the drug as she had taken the morning shift tomorrow. Amanda strolled over to them and gave Shanice a tight hug."Only you can outshine me on my birthday," Amanda remarked, smiling. "God, Mandy.....have you seen yourself? You look fab, girl. No one can outshine you tonight," Shanice replied. Amanda laughed, proce
HIS SECOND CHOICE First Fight
Tears of relief rolled down her eyes as she leaped off the bed and bounded over to him. She quickly wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. His body was tensed and his breathing was shallow and fast as though he had run a marathon. Her sobs were not helping him to calm down. "Get out of here if you know what is good for you, Specsie," Desmond sneered at Asher as he bounded over to them in three long strides. He then lowered his gaze to Serena. "And you come here," he roughly grabbed her arm and pulled. Asher wrapped his arm around her in time, keeping her glued to him. The boy seethed. "Fucking let her go. If you want her you can have her after me," Desmond raged impatiently. Fury ripped through Asher, seizing his brain. He quickly pulled Serena to the side and inflicted a severe blow square in Desmond's pretty face. Serena yelped in horror and scrambled backward. Desmond was on the floor, blood dripping down his nose. Asher grabbed his collar and
HIS SECOND CHOICE Someday
"I'll d..do it my..myself," she instinctively moved away from him. "Where is it, Pumpkin?" his voice held authority. Serena gulped and reluctantly pointed towards the bathroom. He instructed her to sit down in the chair before heading towards the bathroom to get the box. As he had commanded, she was in the chair, fiddling with her fingers in her lap. Her eyes were downcast, her lips slightly pouting and her shoulders were caved inward. Her stance was of a timid child. It brought a pang to his heart. He was too harsh with her. With a sigh, he kneeled in front of her prompting her to shift uncomfortably in her chair. Ignoring her nervousness, he reached a hand out and gently held her arm. "You need to restock your first-aid, Pumpkin. All the stuff is almost gone," he initiated softly, hoping to break the ice between them. He waited for her reply but she offered no response. He looked up to find her red-rimmed eyes concentrating on his hands that were bandaging her scratches. His un
HIS SECOND CHOICE Troubles At Home
Hauling his bag over one shoulder, Asher climbed down the stairs. He hoped no one was in the living area as he was in no mood to tolerate any taunt right now. But all his hope was dashed when he noticed his father and his stepmother lounging in the living room, having their morning tea. Ignoring them, he made his way towards the door. "Asher," his dad called, making him stop in his tracks. Asher reluctantly turned, cursing under his breath. With a neutral face, he met his dad's cold judgemental eyes. "How's your study going?" his dad got straight to the point. Asher wasn't surprised. That's how it was always. His dad had no concern for his wellbeing, all he cared was for his grades. "Good," Asher replied just as coldly. "Your mom said you are more focused on your phone messaging these days than your studies. You even came late yesterday," Thomas, his dad stated. Asher felt a surge of irritation. "What I do with my phone is none of your concern. And this bitching old hag is no
HIS SECOND CHOICE Defending Him
"Hey," Serena smiled at Amanda and Kimberly as she took her seat at the table. They were the only ones sitting at their table. The girls responded with a stiff smile before diving right back into whatever hushed conversation they were having, ignoring her presence altogether. Serena leaned back in her chair and let her eyes scan around the canteen. It wasn't the first time they had ignored her like this. They would treat her like a stranger in Shanice's absence. It seemed like they tolerated her in the group only because she was Shanice's best friend. The reason could be that she wasn't rich like them plus her tastes differed from theirs. It used to hurt her in the past but with time, she had gotten accustomed to it. "Hey," both the girls paused their conversation and chirped in unison when Shanice showed up. Serena turned her head in her direction. Shanice greeted them back and sat down. With her back straight and shapely legs crossed, her posture, like always, spoke of elegance and
