“Mary?” Noah said, slightly raising his brows after opening the door and I pressed my lips together as I gave him a small wave. He was shirtless and my eyes zoomed in on his sculpted chest and abdominals before I cleared my throat, returning my gaze to his face.
“Um, hi Noah,” I muttered and when he didn’t reply after a while, I added, “You’re not going to invite me in?”
“Right!” he blurted out before shaking his head sideways. “No, that’s- I meant…” He stepped to the side, opening the door wider and flashing me a smile. “Come in, Teach.”
“Thanks.” I walked into the house, giving him a tight lipped smile, before he shut the door and the sound seemed to reverberate through the house. “Is your mum home?&r

“Really, Noah?” Tyler said and I let out a harsh breath, leaning against the couch just as Shane appeared behind Noah. Shane’s brows snapped together when he saw me and he scowled before directing his attention to Noah.A muscle in Noah’s jaw twitched and he took a deep breath before asking in a calm voice, “What’s wrong?”“What’s wrong?” Shane replied in an incredulous voice and scoffed before he faced Tyler. “I told you we shouldn’t come here.” He then shot me a glare and walked out of sight, and Tyler followed him, but not before giving Noah a disappointed look.“... So if this is right? Why isn’t the one I did before it right? Noah asked after the door was shut, drawing my attention back to him, and I furrowed my brows. He&

“Why don’t you guys get a room?” Asia said, sneering at Abigail and Corey who had been flirting with each other ever since we sat here.“We love an audience, don’t we baby?” Abigail replied before giving Corey a quick kiss on his cheek and he nodded absentmindedly, his attention being on Abigail’s fingers which were running through his hair.“Who would want to go through such excruciating experience, ” Dia mumbled with disgust on her face as she settled down beside me. “I wouldn’t even wish that on my worst enemy”“Candi Sparks holds that title currently and that speaks volume,” Asia snickered as Abigail flicked her the bird . Tossing a grape in my mouth I let out a chuckle at their bickering and resumed scanning through the cafeteria. The crew decided to eat in here today as it was pouring out heavily and I couldn’t refuse because there would be no concrete excuse to back out. Seeing students with their cliques engrossed in discussions enjoying their lunch brought back memories. m

“Yes, mom. We’re fine, everything’s fine,” I said with a smile as I stared at my two best friends, Dia and Asia, who were having a conversation across the table before my eyes darted to the huge window next to me. It was still pouring outside and it didn’t seem like it was going to let up anytime soon so my decision for us to wait for it to let up before we leave the diner wasn’t a very good one. “Are you sure? I can be on the next flight there if you need me there,” my mom replied and I shook my head sideways like she could see me. “No, no, it’s fine. Really. We have food, money, no adults to supervise us and we’re dropping by the supermarket to grab some whiskey on our way back home. Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!” “No supermarket will sell alcohol to you. You’re eighteen.” “I

“What’s his name?” I turned off the hair dryer I was using to dry my braids and turned my head to see Abigail standing in the doorway of my room with a towel on her hair. “Huh?” “At the diner. The boy with the brown hair,” she replied as she walked into the room, plopping herself down on my bed, and I furrowed my brows before realizing that she was talking about Tyler. “What’s his name?” “Oh.” I dropped the hair dryer on my dressing table, clicking my tongue when I noticed the glint in her eyes and her lips curved into a smile as she waited for me to reply. “Ah, I know that face. It’s the Tyler is so ‘swoony and dreamy’ look. It’s a very common expression around here.” Why wouldn’t it be a common expression though? He was the most beautiful boy I have ever seen and h

The next couple of days passed by in a flurry as Dia, Abigail and I prepared for resumption and finally school had begun. I was both nervous and ecstatic - nervous because I was going to see Tyler again today and ecstatic because I was going to see another one of my best friends, Asia. I haven’t yet told her that Dia, Abigail and I were here and that we were going to attend Foxbourne Hills High because I wanted to surprise her and I couldn’t wait to see her reaction. The reason I came back here was because the university I wanted to attend, Cornell, was here and it was also the same university Asia and Lana wanted to attend. I had met Dia and Abigail in the high school that I attended in London and they had decided to come here to attend Foxbourne Hills High with me because the university they wanted to attend, Columbia, was also here. The both of them didn’t want to attend universities in England because

Noah had been staring at me since the test started and I was pretty sure he hadn’t solved any of the questions on his question paper. I don’t even think he has written his name on his answer sheet. I pressed my lips together and fiddled with my pen as I tried to convince myself not to stare back. Why is he staring at me? Is there something on my face? Does he want to say something? Do something? My eyes darted to his and I cursed under my breath before looking away from him because even though we had only made eye contact for a brief moment, he had been quick enough to flash me a smile. Noah hadn’t been as awful as Tyler and Shane were, he had just stood next to them while they harassed me and laughed at the insults they threw my way. In fact, if I had to pick between

I was having a shitty day.I had thought getting detention on the first day of school was the worst thing that could happen but I was proven wrong by Mr Tale, the chemistry teacher, when he paired me up with Tyler for the rest of the semester during chemistry class. I had been a bit stunned when the man announced the pairing and I tried to get the man to give me a new partner after the class ended but he didn’t. Tyler had skipped the class so I didn’t get to see his reaction to that but I’m pretty sure it won’t be good.I tightened my hold on my pen and clicked my tongue as I stared at Mr Mason who was sitting in the desk in front of me, grading the test he gave us this morning. I still didn’t want to believe that Asia and I would be getting detention for the rest of the school year but Mr Mason hadn’t seemed like he was joki

Piece of advice, don’t come over. I scoffed and folded my hands across my chest as I replayed Tyler’s words in my head. Who the hell does he think he is? Is he going to kill me if I come over?His words have been in my head since he said them to me yesterday and I just wanted to punch his stupid face. I hadn't been surprised when he said them to me because he had kept me away from his house after he decided to stop being my best friend, but I was pissed. I didn't let him know that I was though and I just pushed the trolley with Noah past him and Shane.His siblings were going to be back today and I will definitely be going over to see them. Fuck him."Hey Mary," a voice said and I glanced in the direction it h
