"Hey, Quinnel... Watch out!" Someone yelled and my eyes widened when I saw Quinnel ran in front of a moving bus.With a gasp, I pulled to a halt unable to move any further. My heart was beating in my chest as the long bus passed by me.When it had finished passing, I looked up to Quinnel, hopefully, to find him not standing on the opposite side of the road. Another gasp escapes my lips when I find the place empty. I brought my hand up to my lips as I felt tears coming to my eyes."He's not dead, right?" I asked myself shaking my head."He obviously passed before the bus. The bus didn't hit him!" I mumbled and I shook my head again."His Mum... What do I tell his Mum? She helped me and this is what I repay her. Oh My God!" I muttered bending down."Let's not jump to conclusions... His body is not even... Oh no."While my eyes was looking around, someone covered my eyes from behind. With an angry and sad expression, I stood up jerking the person's hand away.I turned around with a glar

"Alright, we're here." The coach and I didn't even bother looking up from my feet that I have been staring at for some minutes. Nah, forever.Ever since my speech about minding your own business to Ashley, Jake and Zaire who looked bewildered by the way... I have been staring at my sneakers."Woah!" Ashley exclaimed and I looked at her to see her eyes fixed on something with her eyes twinkling in delight.The sun was out high in the sky. So it was shining really harsh down on us and more so, we were in the afternoon already.I looked from her sun kissed face to whatever she was looking at and to say I was amazed by it's beauty would be an understatement!New York is beautiful!"This is the Bryant Park. The grounds features monuments and garden, and "Le Carrousel," a popular carousel. A games area makes available chess boards, checkers, and backgammon boards for a small fee."I look around the the Bryant Park. The sun that was behind us was only reaching half the green lawn that was in

Four updates in one day!🌝🌝 Ooh! Enjoy... And thank you all for reading Love and Secrets. ❤️ "Woah! Dude." Zaire yelled holding Quinnel's hand back and he only glared at him. "Leave me the fuck alone." He spat before he jerked his hand off and turned his face back to the guy under him. Everyone kept yelling for Quinnel to stop but he wasn't having it. Mountains by Tatiana Manaois started playing in the background and I swear it was like the worst timing ever. Another blow landed and I gasped looking down at the bloodied boy lying helplessly on the floor with both arm hanging lazily beside his head as he heaved heavily. Sitting on top of him was Quinnel who kept punching the boy even though his face was already battered beyond repair. His teeth was red with blood, his cheekbone red and bleeding, the corner of his eyes was bleeding as it bled over his freckles down his cheekbone that was already bleeding. His nose looked dislocated and I knew it had broken as it was also bleeding

"Is that all?" He asked and I nodded placing the pen down."Okay, tell your boyfriend to come and write his own too," He said and I blinked at him.He pointed at Quinnel and I looked back at Quinnel before I looked back at him and nodded my head in understanding."By the way, he likes you really. I mean is it normal to suffer a third level Concussion from several beatings from a guy of your own mate?!""A third level?" I asked and he nodded his head."I tell you. It's really fortunate that the parents aren't pressing any charges. Guess they know the ways of their boy." He mumbled and I sighed.Or they weren't at home and have not even been informed about this incident. Or, it was what he said. They knew his character.I walked to Quinnel who was sitting on the chair with his head bowed as he studied the ground."He's calling you." I said nudging him and he looked up at me. I nudged my chin towards the counter and he sighed before he stood up.I looked at my side to see Coach, Zaire, A

"What are you doing? Let go of me right now," I said my hand on his arm and he shook his head."No. Until you listen to me." He said and I snorted."Why do I have to listen to you now? I wanted to listen to you earlier and what did you do? You accused me, blamed me... In hell would I actually listen to you," I retorted and he sighed."I'm sorry," He whispered and I froze for a second looking at our reflection in the glass that served as door to the hotel's lobby which was in a way the entrance. I could only see his hair and not his face since he decided it was wise to bury his face in my neck."What?" I asked in a whisper and he finally looked up straight into my eyes in the reflection and I almost froze at the intensity of the sincerity in it. Almost."I'm sorry, Heaven. For accusing you and for calling you Navaeh. I know that was quite wrong and unfamiliar of me, but I'm sorry.""You think I'm angry cause you called me Navaeh? I mean I am, I don't even know why since it's my name, b

"I'll see you by 7pm then," He greeted once I stepped out of the elevator unto my floor.Their floor was above ours so he still had to stay in there for a few more seconds before he got off."Sure," I replied with a wave."Bye.""Kay."Before we could keep exchanging words, I had turned my back and made my way to the room before I realized his cardigan was still around my waist."Wait. What about your-!" He was gone. The elevator had closed and it already arrived on the guy's floor. Guess I'll just return it during dinner.I turned around walking to our room before I stopped. I pressed in the lock combination and an automatic voice, like it always had, said "Door Unlocked."I turned the door and pulled it open before I stepped in taking off my sneakers in the process leaving me barefooted. The door closed after me and "Door Locked."I sighed when I saw my bed and without any more hesitation, I ran and jumped on it with it bouncing me back harder than I expected. But I guess it's my f

"Uhh, Coach? Could we have a bonfire tonight?" Zaire asked suddenly and all eyes turned to him.A bonfire?Quinnel with a satisfied smirk, leaned back as he continued eating the pasta in his mouth."A bonfire?" Navaeh asked and Quinnel immediately turned his head to her."A bonfire sounds nice! Let's do it." Jake agreed and Quinnel looked at him and smiled.His mind drifted to thier boys conversation some hours ago after he had dropped Navaeh at her floor.***He was going to his room when he paused upon remembering what caused his fight between Navaeh and himself.As much as he would not like to do it, he sighed and turned walking to where he recollected to be Jake's room.He stopped in front of it and glared at the number "66" that was engraved in black colour on the gold plated plate right on the door.He moved his hand up to press the doorbell when the door opened and his hand froze in air.Jake and Zaire were staring at him while he simply blinked at them."What are you doing her

"Hemple, put that stick under the pile! Not on stop! You're going to kill the whole fire before it even starts!" Coach yelled."I'm not going to kill the fire. See it's starting..." Zaire replied with a grin as he pushed the stick into the pile again."Oh it's dead." He mumbled. The stick he had pushed in had snuffed out the fire that was just starting."Oh my God! And you were the one that made the suggestion!" Quinnel replied rolling his eyes.They were trying to start the fire pit and Zaire was in no way skilled in doing it. He kept pushing the sticks, that the hotel had provided, in different directions that it snuffed out the fire the others were managing to start.The night was dark and a thick blanket of darkness had enveloped the sky only lit up by stars that looked tiny. The moon was peeking out behind a dark cloud so the ground wasn't that bright but fortunately, the hotel had given them a torch light as well."You know what? Zaire, just step back. I'm about to kill myself j
