CadenI've never been one to compete for attention or anything in that manner. There was never anything to compete for until now.The thought of Elias around her irks me more and more each time I think about it. His hands on her waist or even breathing the same air with her makes me want to rip him to shreds.The piles of paperwork in front of me on my desk isn't enough to distract me from thinking of her. With each moment our skin touches it feels like magic is about to happen.I want her to myself. Selfishly. I hate how I can't have her. I hate how she's someone else's.I hear her little voice echoing laughter from right outside my office and it feels like music to my ears. I go over to my door and catch a glimpse of her walking side by side with that idiot he calls her boyfriend and the goth girl she's seemingly friends with.Her long shiny hair is packed in a ponytail and it swings from side to side.Something about it makes me want to pull it and I have to control the horny thoug
IvyI work my way through the piles of homework in front of me slowly, dreading each moment.Seriously if these professors don't stop giving us so much homework I'll literally just drown in them at this point.Not even the song of my favorite boy band blasting in my ears through my headphones seems to cheer me up from the situation I'm in.I stare at my laptop blankly not knowing where to start. This might take longer than I thought.Mom walks in wearing a black dress that seems a little too tight for a pregnancy bump with two other dresses in her hand.I push down my head phones from my ears not understanding what exactly is going on.“Which one would look better on me?” She asks “this one makes me look like a sack of potatoes so we already know it's a no”“Um okay…”“So we have this dress from Vera Wang” she says, showing me the sheer dress in her right hand “and this one from chanel” showing me a white midi dress.The white one seems more preferable so I point to it.“Alright then”
Ivy“And that's why I think black cats bring good luck,” says Jade, licking her ice cream.“Oh really, that's new” I reply, licking mine.“Mmm hmm, they're so cute too” she adds with big sparkly eyes that reminds me alot of a kid.Jade had picked this pawn shop a few miles away from school to meet up and buy weird old band t-shirts and hang out.She's not really a fan of the mall and I can definitely relate. We have the same level of social anxiety and that is enough reason for us to stick together.It feels nice having her around. It's great having someone around asides Elias.It's less crowded here and the store owner literally doesn't care what we do as long as we don't steal or break anything.I'm not exactly an old band t-shirt kind of girl but with Jade it all seems so fun.She's pretty cool and she's shown me a lot of street hacks, half of which I'm not sure I'll need but you'll never know.“Ooouuu this would look good on you” she exclaims and brings out a gray T-shirt and plac
CadenI've been trying to get information on Elias for a while but as I dig deeper I'm beginning to notice that some information is leaving too many blank gaps. Way too many for the whole institution to ignore.“So how did he get this far without anyone suspecting him?” Von asks.“That's what I want to know and that's why I'm going to find out”I turn off my laptop and shove it into my bag.I'll continue tomorrow. The workload from working here has started getting to me.I sigh exhausted and drained as I start the engine. I just want to soak in a hot bath.The school begins to get out of view and I'm glad to just be in my way.I catch a glimpse of a car behind me. It's pace is slow but it's following me. I take another turn the wrong way to see if my suspicions are right and just as I expected they follow at a slow pace.“Looks like we've got company”I check my rare view mirror but suddenly can't find them.Was I wrong?“Caden watch out-”The impact catches me by surprise before I c
IvyIf there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I, Ivy Carter, am a terrible runner. But here I am running from a beast in the middle of the dark and oddly cold forest, my legs taking off in full speed like a pair of propellers.My heart beat rages in my ear as I run into branches,overgrown leaves and thorns. Do I know where I am?, no, do I know where I'm running to?, also no.The roar just a few kilometers away from me escalates the rhythm of my breathing, my heart almost at the verge of exploding with fear.“Somebody help me, anyone!” I scream, but the forest is isolated and again cold. I can't even remember how I got here.I slip and fall face down to the ground with a thud once I come in contact with the shrubs.My feet ache in pain and fatigue as soon as I spring up from the ground, looking for the best exit or a place to hide.The beast roars again but this time it was closer than ever.It charges at me springing in front of me just centimeters away from my face. I scream in f
IvyAfter ten solid hours of mom driving she finally swerves into a neighborhood and into a driveway.We would have gotten here sooner if not for the fact that she had to continually stop for me to puke due to my intense motion sickness, I'm just glad I made it here with my organs intact.I get out of the car to take in some fresh air and check out the surroundings but the size of our new home takes me by surprise.It's big, wait scratch that, it's huge.“Mom, where'd you get the money to get this house?” I ask suspiciously.“Oh from the money your father left off, I deserve it and more anyway” she says opening the door “well don't stand there come check it out”“But the only money dad left was for my college fund” I reply heading to the front door.She sighs “Oh honey we'll talk about that later”“Mom”“Oh stop your whining and come on in” she says, taking me by the hand as she leads me in.I gasp at the interior. It's the definition of luxury. Luxury we can't afford.My stomach chur
IvyI splash cold running water on my face mentally preparing myself for today's version of what I call a nightmare. My stay here has been more than shitty and there's nothing I can do about it.Exhaling deeply, I pick up my bag off the bathroom floor and come out of the stalls already reciting my day's activities in my head.They are quite simple.Don't get noticed,stay low, avoid Aria and Freya.“Well, well , well, look who decided to come out of her hiding spot” comes a familiar voice that rings in my ear. I shoot my head up in shock as I gasp.Aria stares at her reflection at the bathroom mirror applying lipstick.No, no, no, not today!There she was Aria Vlad, the most popular girl in the university, my rival and bully.You'd think bullying stops at highschool but unfortunately it doesn't.I hold on to the strap of my book bag till my knuckles turn white. I try to keep a brave face but I can tell by Aria's expression that I'm doing a terrible job.“What do you want Aria?”She lau
IvyProfessor Caden continues to address the class as he responds to meaningless questions majorly asked by the girls who obviously just wanted to get his attention.His expression is nothing less than bored as he continues to answer them patiently. This has gone on for about thirty minutes into our learning hours. But I don't mind, I can stare at his gorgeous face all day.“Um Mr Caden sir” comes a whiny voice from the far left side of our class. A voice I know too well.We all turn to Aria who raises her hand in an attempt to get his attention as she twirls her hair with her manicured finger.Low mumbles fill the room in annoyance. We are all tired of her pointless questions but no one is seemingly bold enough to confront her.“One more question Mr Caden” she continues.Professor Caden's eyes land on her as his sparkly blue eyes glint with a hint of irritation which makes me chuckle.He is just as sick of her as we are.“Alana isn't it?” He asks, looking towards her lazily.She smil
