Ria drove into the school compound and Dani looked around with curious eyes. There are different cars parked in the car park and different students pouring into the school compound.Dani turned to Ria as she unbuckled her seatbelt “Let me get down first and disappear before you get down” Dani said and Ria laughed before nodding.“Okay. Have a great day” Ria said as Dani got down. For reasons known to Dani, she didn’t like letting people know that she and she were sisters.Ria took a deep breath before calming herself down “You can do this” she muttered as she opened the door and got down.Ria got down of the car and kept her chin up. After making sure the car was locked, she started walking confidently as everyone started turning towards her.“Oh my god”“It’s Arianna Mahmata”“Who’s she?”“Arianna Mahmata, cheerleader captain, straight-A student and guess what?”“What?”“Gabriel Miles is her boyfriend”Ria couldn’t help but smile upon hearing the comments behind her but she didn’t st
Dani walked through the hallway, her outfit naturally attracting attention. Dani ignored the stares her way as she continued scrolling through her phone and stopped when a girl blocked her way.“Hello,” the girl said and Dani nodded.“Hello, how may I help you?” Dani asked and the girl pursed her lips. The girl had a short bob with a choker on her neck. Dani had to admit that the girl was really pretty.“I’m a first-year student like you and I just wanted to be friends. No need to use such a cold tone on me” the girl said and Dani managed a smile.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to talk that way. I must get to the teacher’s office to get my schedule first so please do excuse me” Dani said as she made to move away again but got blocked again. Dani looked at her with raised eyebrows.“Don’t you need help finding the teacher’s office?” the girl asked and Dani raised her phone.“I’m doing just fine with the GPS” Dani replied and the girl blinked her beautiful eyes.“Ohh,” she said slowly.“If you m
Ria sat down with her friends as they ate lunch. Ava was going through her camera and the pictures she had taken; Zara was taking different pictures with her phone while Penny was scrolling through her phone. Only Janet and Ria were actually eating.“What are you doing?” Janet asked Penny.“Just scrolling for news on the school. The school seems so lively even when it has just started” Penny replied without raising her head.“Bells are always interesting whether it’s in the middle of the session or the start, it’s just more dramatic when we end,” Zara said and the girls burst into laughter.Some guys walked over to their table and a guy put his hand around Ria. He dropped a peck on Ria’s cheeks and Ria smiled widely before turning to him.“Hey babe,” the guy said ruffling Ria’s hair and Ria playfully slapped his hands off.“You’ll scatter my hair, Ava still wants to take some pictures later,” Ria said and Gabriel laughed.“Sorry,” he said as he tried to arrange her hair again and Ria
It had been over a week since Bells resumed for another session. The new students were getting accustomed to the school system while the old students went about their activities with the different dramas happening in the school.The school was already in full swing after one week, everyone attended classes and of the students who were in their final year; many had started making plans for the colleges and universities they wanted to go to.“You still haven’t filled out your college application form?” Janet asked Ria who shrugged her shoulders.“I’ll fill it in later,” Ria said as Zara shook her head.“I see. Any school you choose will, of course, give you admission, that’s why you taking it lightly” Zara said and Ria laughed.“Nope. That’s not why. I need to discuss it with my mom first” Ria said and Penny grinned and laughed.“Since when did you become mommy’s girl?” she asked and the girls burst into laughter.“What do you mean?” Ria asked laughing as well.“I was always mommy’s gir
The commotion increased as soon as the person yelled. More heads popped out of the class. Ria couldn’t help but stare, Damien had disappeared for one year yet she couldn’t believe he had become twice as handsome as before.His face was more chiseled and his lean, athletic body supported his lean frame. His nose looked straighter and sharp and he had managed to keep his black hair a little bit shorter.Naturally, Damien had dark eyes that could suck someone in, his eyes appear darker and though Ria didn’t want to be sucked in, she wasn’t scared of getting sucked in.He was taller and his lips were fuller and set in a straight line, Ria wanted nothing more than to crash her lips on his. He looked more elegant and handsome as he walked.Ria tried to adjust her composure as Damien got closer to her. She tried to think of any comeback for any of the sarcastic comments but she froze when his natural scent waffled into her nose and disappeared.Ria turned and found out that Damien had walked
Damien chuckled as he scrolled through the school forum. He turned to Jason who was laughing.“It’s all over the forum” Damien muttered as he spotted the student union’s post.“Who’s the current president of the student union again?” Damien asked and Jason laughed.“What did Hazel write again?” Jason asked bringing out his own phone.“Hazel Shepard is the current student union? Who the hell voted for her?” Damien asked and Jason laughed.“She started dating Charlie a week before the election. She, of course, had an edge over Elsa who had just herself and besides, I really think Hazel is a good president” Jason replied and Damien nodded.“Oh my, this post is funny,” Jason said and Damien rubbed his forehead.“You were the one who made a dramatic entrance. You deserve it” Jason said as Damien wore an expressionless face.“A dramatic entrance my feet. All I did was to come to school, what do you mean by I made a dramatic entrance?” Damien asked and Jason burst into laughter.“All you did
Ria packed her bag as she walked towards the car park. Her strides are long, straight, confident, and elegant. She unlocked the car and opened the car door before her eyes caught Damien walking towards him.Ria swallowed her saliva as she tried to put up a brave front as he walked towards her. Ria is yet disappointed again when Damien walked past her and unlocked the car next to hers.Her curiosity overtakes her sanity and Ria blocked Damien. Damien turned to Ria, his black eyes are endless.“What do you want?” Damien asked in his cello-like voice and Ria swallowed her saliva.“I don’t know what you told the school authority for them to allow you to come back to school after disappearing for one year,” Ria said and Damien slipped his hands into his pockets.“So what?” Damien asked again as Ria tried to adjust herself again.“Where have you been in the past year Damien?” Ria asked and Damien chuckled.“Are we that close? Why would you want to know where I’ve been?” Damien asked a sneer
Ria sighed as she ran her hands through her hair again. Her hair was turning into a bird's nest by the minute. What was more that she couldn’t share her concerns with anyone?Ria took her phone and went to the school forums, the news of Damien’s return was still everywhere with different pictures on the forum. Ria saved all the images and debated whether to ask Ava to send Damien’s pictures she had taken earlier.She had missed him greatly. At first, when he didn’t come to school, Ria had tried to comfort herself that he would still come but a month passed, two months passed, then three and four. It was then Ria had to accept that he was gone.Ria remembered crying that night as she slept and she didn’t even go to school the next day. His face allowed them to pass through the day, and the thought that she would see him the next day made her wake up to go to school. When he left, Ria almost lost interest in school.It was only after she heard from someone that Jason said Damien was goi
