DIANE I can't believe these two weirdos are about to argue in my presence right now.“Really Dante?” Crystal starts. “Are you blind or do you need me to chant the list?,” she begins counting her fingers, “One, Priya is so full of herself and so fucking bitchy. Two, she's also a great liar and a cheat. Three, she also annoys the shit out of me whenever she messes with my stuff if I'm not around the house. Four, she never, ever, accepts that she can be wrong, especially when she is always wrong! Would you like me to go on Dante? Huh?!”Dante rolls his eyes. “I'm very happy right now that you're just telling me all that about your roomie when you could have told me about it more than two weeks ago.”“I told you.” She retorts.“Oh you mean when you blatantly just told me to stay away from Priya like she caught the flu? You can't possibly expect me to act all AWOL on Priya like that, especially when she did nothing to me and since you chose to hoard everything you just said now to yoursel
DIANE Later, when I finally leave campus and get back home, I walk into the silence of the living room.The entire house is quiet and peaceful. Leo isn't home. He called me on my way back to inform me that he was heading out and might not be back early. I didn't bother to ask him where he was going to, besides, we are just housemates, and I felt it wasn't my place to ask him so a private question.Anyway, I head towards my room. Getting to it, I enter and close the door behind me.Now in the comfort and silence of my room, I dump down on my bed and breathe out heavily. A smile comes to my face at the thought of the three hilarious people I have met today.Jen. Crystal. And Dante. Today was great afterall.I pull out my phone from my pocket and toss around on the bed, lying flat on my belly. I scroll through the pictures I took today and the lovely ones that were also sent to me by Dante.They all look so beautiful….One after the other, I carefully select almost all the pictures befo
DIANE I stare at Leo, gauging his words. He is right. I have already learnt so much from Jenelle without even meeting her in person back then.Without a doubt, I know I can certainly learn so much more from her now that I am in the same school and department with her.Suddenly, a stupid question takes shape in my head.Don't ask that Diane, just shut—“Is Jenelle just a friend to you Leo?” I blurt out the question, instantly regretting it.A moment of silence settles between us, a silence that suddenly clamps around my throat, making me wish I never asked. Leo says nothing, and the air around me suddenly starts feeling too choked. Too saturated.Shit Diane. It's none of your fucking business. You shouldn't have as—“Why do you ask that?” Leo finally speaks, folding his arms across his muscular chest, his silver grey eyes pinning on my face like they are trying to trap me and then dig the answer to his question out from my head.I take a moment to gather my thoughts and words, shruggi
DIANEIn the past, parties made me feel……something. Alive. Free. Like the perfect momentary escape from the shackled life I lived back home.I used to love parties so much back in high school. But now, I am not so sure anymore. To even think my past addiction started from there…..Sighing deeply, I check out myself in front of my mirror, adjusting the hem of my purple crop top over my belly. I know I have grown and healed past all that hurt and pain. Gosh, it fucking too months for me to be in the right frame of mind where I am right now.But deep down, in this moment, I know that I need to totally cross the finish line. To physically achieve one of the endgames of my therapy—which is to not shun things or places that used to make me happy just because they now make me remember unpleasant memories.Things or places aren't bad. How we make use of them is what makes them either bad, or good. I have to cross that finish line, and the only way to do that is to face it head on by going to
DIANE I guess I have no choice but to find out myself.With anxiety still brewing inside me, I look around, trying not to allow myself to get imprisoned for long inside my disturbed mind. My breath catches when I spot Leo over the dancing crowd where he is sitting at the bar glittering with bright neon lights, laughing with a girl dressed in a black skin tight dress with ginger red hair.Anyone with eagle eyes and a sensible brain can clearly see and figure out that he is obviously flirting with the girl, and that the girl is also unapologetically flirting back with the not-so-sorry way she is staring down at his mouth every now and then as he continues talking to her.Well, it is now confirmed that Leo and I are both in the same party afterall. I didn't even have to waste my time speculating, and I wasn't wrong when I thought he'd be enjoying his time here with some random girl.“Come on Dee, let's get some drinks.” Crystal tugs at my arm, the sudden nickname coming off her mouth ma
DIANEI can still feel Leo's warm breaths on the side of my neck, and now that he is even much closer, I helplessly pick up the fruity scent of his cologne.It envelopes my senses, and for a moment, I think about letting him linger a while longer…..Crystal clears her throat beside me, bringing me back. She shifts a little on my other arm that she's grasping onto, while Dante rests his elbows on the counter, shifting his inquisitive eyes between Leo and me. My belly churns when his whiskey brown eyes lock on me again, not shifting to Leo anymore.I guess it's time I—“You look hot.” Leo speaks again, amusement clearly evident in his voice. That amusement in his voice feels like he is toying with me.Nevertheless, it has me finally taking the risk of turning to face him squarely.“Thanks Leo, seems like we are in the same party afterall,” I bite out, forcing a smile on my face.“Yeah we are,” a smug smile is on his face, his bright sexy eyes still on me.Despite how much my body seems
TASHA"Shit Jason! Right there! Fuck me harder! Fuck!"I halt in my tracks, the familiar female voice chilling my blood to ice. The air in my lungs evaporates the instant my eyes land on the half naked bodies of the two people I thought were my best friend and boyfriend fucking each other's brains out like their lives depend on it."Keep your voice down Diane, someone might hear you.""Shut up Jason and just fuck me!"My vision starts to blur. Everything in my head and around me starts to spin. I want to shout, but I feel like I am in this weird dream where only the loud moans of Jason and Diane are permitted to be heard and listened to.I try to force my legs to move, but I am pinned to where I stand. Jason is naked from his waist downwards, banging his dick right into Diane's cunt on the brown mahogany desk in the center of the empty physics lab. Diane, my fucking ass best friend, has her breasts slamming against his bare chest. Her bra, crop top and panties are scattered on the floo
TASHA"You fucking piece of shit!" I scream, yanking my bag off my shoulders to the floor before lurching towards Diane, the fucking bitch I thought was my fucking bestfriend. I sink my fingernails into her dirty blonde hair and drag on the strands with all my strength, yelling my lungs out.This slimy bitch has been stabbing me in the back all along, getting her pussy digged with my boyfriend's cock while pretending to sympathize with me over the relationship problems between Jason and I.And speaking of that fucking asshole Jason, I am still getting to his case later.Loud cheers and boos from the other students echo throughout the atmosphere of the hallway as Diane and me drag and pull mercilessly at each other."Let me go you crazy bitch!" Diane yells, her hands trying to untangle my tight grip on her hair. Did she just call me a bitch?My brain spikes, and I finally lose it. All of it. My grip on her hair tightens as I pull her backwards with me. With all my fucking strength, I
