All Zach wanted was to never have to talk with his father again, but he wondered what this was about now. He stood up and followed him, but his mind was back there on the bed with Chloe. "What's this about, father?" he asked, but his father said nothing. Sighing, he shook his head and followed him in silently, not saying anything after that. When they got to his office, Zach silently closed the door before turning back to face his father, watching as he walked to the window to stand over it. Be would have preferred to open the door of the room and just let them talk so that it would be easier fir him to escape, but he also didn't want it to seem like he had anything to run for. His father took his sweet time before he spoke though, clearing his throat even, so that his voice would come out in his desired way. "I'm going on a business trip," his father started. "And what the heck does that have to do with me?" Zach wanted to ask, but instead, he stood there quietly without
The air felt so heavy around Zach as he approached Chloe's house, his breath forming clouds in the chilly evening. “Oh shit, I’m nervous.” He whispered. It was as if he was there to ask for Chloe’s hand in marriage rather than just having a causal dinner with her family.He couldn't help but feel a flutter of nervous excitement in his chest at the thought of marrying her though, because he would like that very much.Although, Zach had eaten with Chloe before, but tonight was different; it wasn't just another dinner. It was a gathering, an invitation from Chloe's family so that they could meet him official and probably talk about his relationship with Chloe. As he reached the front door, it swung open right before he could knock on the door, revealing Hailey, Chloe's best friend and his own friend as well, and he wondered how she knew he was at the door. Well, she had probably heard the sound of his car. That was the most likely explanation for how she knew to open the door before he
"Chloe, you really don't want to be late on your first day at the new school." She heard her mom say as she passed her door to go into her younger brother's room; the boy who for some reason believed he was older than she was. She groaned and shook her head. This wasn't fun like she thought it would, this was exhausting for her. When her parents told her they would move from New York City to this place; a small town in Alaska she was elated, and she thought that she would finally have some peace, but now it looked like she was starting to regret her decision to be happy. It wasn't really easy taking up early in the morning to prepare for school, especially a school that she was entering in, as a senior. Leighton High doesn't accept any students especially not in the middle of the year and not from a rich family, but because her grades were perfect, and her father and the principal went to the same college and were returning a favor, she had been accepted. She was sure that she wou
Leighton High was not too far, but it wasn’t close either, so she started to walk at a fast pace until she was a few blocks away from the school, and she slowed down. She didn’t want to seem weird or even draw attention to herself so she cut the yard across to the parking lot and passed the side of the school building.The school was big, an obviously rich kid school, and the cars in the parking lots for students just made Chloe want to roll her eyes. They seemed like they would be more expensive than what her mother made in a year as a doctor in a small hospital or her dad’s in a bank. They were the typical normal parents but she was proud of them and what they do. Successfully, she was able to walk into the school without being looked at by anyone. She recognized the school groups, according to what they were doing. The tech groupies, the science nerds, the bad boys with the motorcycle, the bad girls' wannabes, the school prince and princess leagues, and the “woke” people. She shoo
This was another Monday, and he had to go to school. God he hated Mondays and he just wishes that he could drop the hell out. He was already rich on his own and doesn’t even need his father's money, even though he had plenty.His father paraded himself as this good man, doing good deeds out there but never there for his own kid. He had a foundation that he named Joy, after Zach's late mother for people battling with cancer but with little to no money for chemo. Zach had to stay here in Leighton, because his father was never around, and he had to live here with his father's wife, his stepmother was a good woman, but Zach just could never accept her. She had a son with his father, who was now Zach's brother; Sander. His brother had told everyone his name started with a Z and not an S because he wanted his name to look cool like his older brother. Sander was eight years old and his mother died seven years ago, which meant that his bastard father was cheating on her mother with Sander e
The girl raised her head from the table, adjusting her hair and pushing it behind her left hair, then she said. “Huh, excuse me?” and just like that, he froze. Behind him, Liam whispered. “Fuck, who is that?” he asked.Whispering back, he said. “I have no idea, but fuck she’s beautiful.” He said them very low, under his breath so Liam was the only one that heard him. He was still looking at the girl he had never seen before. Must be the new girl. She was so fucking beautiful and the first things he noticed about her were her pink shiny lips and intense green eyes. They were the greenest eyes he had ever seen in his life. She had a perfectly straight nose and her teeth were white and straight as well. He could see that she was confused as she looked at him so he cleared his throat and said. “Get up from my seat, you’re in it.” He said, cutting out the bitch. She was new, so she couldn’t have known that it belonged to him. She started up at him for a while and then with an exasperated
She could feel her heart hammering in her chest as the teacher asked her to come forward to introduce herself. It was really something she didn’t think would happen after the teacher had already ignored her for a while. Behind her, the boy called Zach was staring at her weirdly, and it was causing her to sweat. She wasn’t even sure if his attention on her was the reason for her heart beating that wildly or if the tension from being in front of the class like this to introduce herself that caused it. Normally, she wasn’t usually shy if it was to come to solving something on the board, in fact, at that moment, her head was always raised high because she knew she was good at it, but, not so much with having this kind of attention. She cleared her throat and said. “Huh, my name is Chloe Miller, and huh, I am now.” She said ad everyone laughed. She looked at Zach to see that he wasn’t laughing like the rest, but the expression on his face was worse, somehow. It was an intense look that s
Chloe looked at the question he had just written on the board before calling her and realized it was one of the questions she solved in getting ready for today’s class last night. But, the problem lies in going up there to solve it. The class was now focused on her, again. Normally, if there was no drama to it, and she was just called to come to solve it, most student who wasn’t paying attention to the teacher wouldn’t pay it to her, but now… Looking around, she saw them staring and felt as if the ground would open right up and swallow her. Standing up, she walked slowly to the front of the class. Behind her, a girl whispered to her friend. “Look at her ass in trouble already. She better know what to write or this would go to shit and everyone would remember her for the rest of the school year.” Zach had been the one to get her into this mess and should be the one here right now, but he was sitting down staring up at her instead, with that stupid smirk right there on his face. She
