I kept breaking the lead of my pencil, I couldn't concentrate… My emotions were taking a toll on me, and usually, I zoned out.“Hailey, are you fine?” Shirley asked concerned, while I was sharpening my pencil.“Yeah,” I muttered, my throat felt too dry to talk, I wanted to skip class, but I couldn't, I didn't want to joke about my studies and look so impulsive about my feelings.“You don't, your eyes are a bit red,” She pointed out, leaning her head close to me, so she could take a better look at me.“I'm fine, Shirley,” Then, I sniffed.I wish I were alone, I wanted to cry so badly, I wanted to cry and vex out my emotions, keeping them inside was a life threat.I glanced my head over my shoulder to stare at Ryan, he was busy with his work.How could he act like everything was fine?I didn't realize I was throwing murderous glares at him. I wanted to stand up from my seat and go confront myself about all that Brielle said about them getting back together.Ryan looked up and shifted hi

I was manipulating my phone when my door barged open and Ryan walked, I quickly sprang up from my bed wondering what was going on and why would he enter my room like that.“What do you want, Ryan?” I fired at him, standing up from my bed and wearing my bunny slippers, while he closed the door behind him.“And you can't just come into my room like that. How many times do I have to tell you?” I shot at him annoyingly while he began taking his steps close to me, his eyes studying me like a predator.After, the break incident with Shirley in school, he disappeared for the next class, and I was least unbothered about him.“We need to talk,” He said in a deep voice, his eyes holding some sort of emotions I can't place thoughts on.“About what?” I asked, folding my hands on my chest, scowling my face at him.“Us,” He uttered, and I flapped my eyelashes at him surprisingly.'What does he want to say now?' I thought.'Or is he tired of his little game?' I smirked.“Well, what about us?” I aske

Ryan's POV.I was angry, fucking angry with her, angry with myself. Why do I have to be so vulnerable with her?I stormed out of the house feeling more heartbroken than ever and entered into my car immediately, I didn't even know where to go to.I was frustrated…My soul felt crushed, my heart was shattered and broken into pieces, pieces that I'm afraid I won't be picked back.I drove my car out of the park and pulled up on the roadway and zoomed off in agony.~~“Another shot,” I told the bartender, and I was given another glass of Bacardi rum.I dragged the small glass cup on the counter before taking it into my mouth and gulped the alcohol drink, which burned down my throat, but it wasn't enough to quench my rage.I dropped the glass cup on the counter and close my eyes, trying to clear my mind.Furthermore, I needed to think through all that I've been passing through. 'Sometimes what we ache and longed for just doesn't come out the way we want it. We need to accept the reality,'

Hailey's POV.I couldn't sleep much at night, I kept on worrying about Ryan, I was scared something might be wrong with him after I shouted at him yesterday.But, I think it's the best way for us, it has to be the best way.He was hurt, and I was hurt too, I didn't feel like going to school today, I just wished I could lay on my bed all day without having to leave my room.I wished dad never let me come back here after hearing all that Ryan said, yesterday, I never imagined he felt that way because of me.After, straightening my trailblazer, I stared at myself in the mirror and noticed the dark circles around my eyes and I sighed.I was stressed, and it was evident in my face.I grabbed my school bag and walked out of my room, closing my door gently behind me, and I made my way towards the staircase.Likewise, I decided to check on mum in the kitchen, I had to give her a lame excuse last night why I won't be coming down for dinner.My stepdad hasn't been back from his business trip ye

It's been three days and I haven't seen any glimpse of Ryan, I feel so bad, he hadn't come to school either and Brielle seems not to get bothered about him.Shirley's party was coming up tomorrow night, and I was so eager on attending the pool party.I even bought a new bikini for the occasion and if the need is, impress some dudes with my swimming skills.I just hope the pool is that big.Another day in school, for us to work our butts off on academics.We just finished having our test, and the bell rang for break.I packed my pencil and jotters and decided to go meet Micah and asked why Ryan didn't come to school.“Hello, Micah!” I greeted him as he arranged his books on the desk and Jace who was sitting next to him was manipulating his phone.That one and his phone all the time, it seemed he was cursed by a witch not to let go of his phone even though it's just a day.“Hey, Hailey,” Micah smiled at me, giving me his attention.“Uhm! I guess you noticed Ryan hasn't been in school,”

I arrived at the party, which was bubbling already. I didn't ask if Ryan was going to attend, I just came on my own.Shirley's home was enormous, way bigger than ours, who would have known she was this rich and come from a wealthy family?She always kept her low profile in the school, and I think that won't be the same again after today.I was dressed in a turquoise blue body-con dress, which brought out my slender curves and my long chocolate brownish hair fell to my back, with a matching black purse which had my bikini wears.I had already seen some of my classmates as I got close to the mansion, they greeted me as soon as they saw me and I reciprocated.The pool party started in the evening, and I knew too well that when Shirley said she was having a birthday party and her twin brother was the one hosting the party, and also heard some girls giggling behind the desk saying they wanted to go to the party to see her brother, I just knew he was the one who had that party to himself an

Shirley and I went to the last floor after I dressed her in a lovely red glittering gown, she looked so beautiful, it was a long gown with a slit up to her left thigh.I made sure she wore light makeup that complimented the gown. “Goodness, Shirley, you look so beautiful,” A gorgeous lady said, walking closer to us as soon as she saw us.“Thanks, mum,” Shirley smiled, and I stared at the woman I was calling a lady, she looked younger and slim.You would have mistaken her for a twenty-Six-year-old unless your eyes catch on to the silvery diamond ring she had on her finger.“Mum, this is Hailey, my friend in school,” Shirley introduced me to her and I put on one of my best smiles.“Good evening,” I greeted the mum, who wore a beautiful smile on that lovely face of hers.She looks like a model…“Hello dear, I hope you are having a great time here?” She asked, smiling at me.“Yes,” I answered sharply, and she nodded.“Enjoy the party, see you two around,” She smiled at us, and we nodded.

“Let go of her!” Ryan growled, his hazel eyes dilated darker as he stared at Ramon and when I turned my face to Ramon, his blue eyes suddenly got darker than they were, the dazzling sparkles in his eyes all faded and replaced with fury.“And who the fuck are you?” Ramon roared at him and I snapped.“Her boyfriend or what?” He questioned, a slight smirk creeping its way to his lips.Ryan was about to talk, and I interrupted, immediately shutting him off.“You two should stop!” I lashed out, snatching my arms furiously from the both of them, and I turned my gaze annoyingly to Ryan.I wanted to talk, but I decided against it, my blood was boiling, and I glared venomously at Ryan, I kept mute to ensure I didn't say something I would end up regretting to Ryan and I noticed the people around us stopped with whatever they were doing and focused on us eagerly.Ryan's eyes met mine, and they softened immediately after we held contact, without waiting longer, I stormed off feeling agitated abou
