Wendy's POV. "Alright, I think that's good enough but next time, show all your steps. If you make mistakes like this in exams or tests, I will not give you your full mark." Professor George's voice rang in the class.His method of teaching is childish but it's very admirable, not all professors would give the marker to students to solve math questions."Thank you, I'll take that into consideration." Aliyah, the most brilliant and beautiful girl in class, said with a bright smile and I heard May scoffing beside me.Aliyah is the perfect description of beauty with brains and to top it all, she's super-wealthy, she's the heir to her family empire, and OMG! She's fucking arrogant and prideful. I have no business with her though, it's May. I can bet that Aliyah is topping the list of people May despise with everything in her. Aliyah lives like she owns the world and technically, she does, she has it all. I almost had a tiff with her once but I had kindly withdrawn because she's a mad bi
Some Weeks Later. Wendy's POV."Oh Lord! Wendy, the expedition is the talk of the group, you have to be online!"I looked at the young woman smiling broadly on her phone."You should be packing May, not chatting, this isn't done, Aunt Linda would be here any minute and God help you if you haven't folded those clothes," I warned and for the first time in minutes, she tore her gaze from the phone to look at me, "Just help me, I promise, I'll pay you. Everyone's buzzing about the trip. It's a great trip, Wendy, three departments are going on a trip together for two weeks!" She screeched excitedly and went back to tapping her phone furiously. I let out a sigh and dragged my tired legs to where her clothes were scattered and began to help her fold. Packing for a two-week expedition felt like preparing for a space mission, and the chaos in our room described that perfectly. I have nothing much to pack, it was all May and May, she had turned the room inside out looking for the perfect o
Wendy's POV. "Wow, isn't this beautiful!" May exclaimed as we stepped out of the hotel we had lodged when we arrived yesterday.We had arrived at the hotel late because of some problems best known to the management. Students were brought to the hotel by different means of transportation, those who were privileged enough took flight upon the announcement of the delay while those who weren't that privileged had to wait for the school mode of transportation. Arriving at the hotel late at midnight didn't give us the privilege to admire the beautiful place, I could bet most sleep after getting into the comfort of their room. "It's truly beautiful May." I agreed with her, the place is truly beautiful no doubt, I had no idea the school could afford such a posh hotel. I was surprised when we got a good room, I was a bit suspicious about everything, the school didn't take a dime from us and they also provided us with everything we needed... I think there's more going on but I really don't c
Wendy's POV. "Wendy!" May called, shaking me lightly but I didn't reply to her, the fear in me was too much. Thinking about different possibilities of how things can go extremely wrong made fear cloud my heart."Wendy!!" May called, shaking me violently this time and I snapped out of whatever trance I was in."Stop shaking me like that," I said weakly and slapped her hands away from my shoulders, my eyes scanning the little crowd May's shout had gathered.Great. Hope you can see this Professor George, thank you for ruining my first day on the expedition."Are you alright, Wendy?" May asked, her eyes filled with concern and I just sighed before I nodded affirmative slowly. "Then why the hell were you looking like shits? It's just our first day here, you don't have to fret, I know you're nervous but keep it cool, everything will be alright, I promise." May assured me with a smile and I just smiled, "Thank you, May, thank you all," I muttered, summoning courage as I stood up so no on
Wendy's POV. I let go of my worries and took in a puff of fresh delicious air, "This feels good." I said with a hearty laughter."IT SURE DOES PRINCESS, IT SURE DOES." I heard a deep familiar masculine voice agreeing with me and the hair on my skin stood at attention as they realized the danger present in the garden with usLet him not be the one, let him not be, please... Oh God, please. I prayed hard in my head, hoping for what was practically impossible. Did he hear me?Did he hear everything I said? I couldn't help but ask myself but I quickly dismissed it, there was no way he would hear him, I had mumbled most of the words I said when I entered the garden. "Won't you turn around and see me, princess?" He asked and terror seeped into me, it looks like he was really one but why the fuck was he here? Was he following me around? Had he turned into such a deviant?! Summoning my courage and boldness, I took in a deep puff of fresh air before slowly turning to look at him, and as
Wendy's POV. "Hey, girl! Where have you been, I've been trying to call you but you weren't picking up, are you alright?" May asked immediately as she saw me heading towards her. To make things easier for me, there's a tracker on May's phone. I installed it because of her habit of not telling anyone where she goes and when she'll be back. It saves me and Aunt Linda lots of stress. "Hey babe, sorry, I got caught up in the scenery. How are you doing?" I asked with a weary smile and she creased her brow. "What happened to your lips?" She asked and her thumb gently caressed my swollen lower lip. I knew I had a swollen lip and May would definitely ask about it so I had cooked up a nice story to tell her, "A fly stung me, maybe a bee, I went to the garden and while admiring the flowers, I got stung." I lied and despite seeing a flicker of doubt in her eyes, she smiled and patted my shoulder,"Sorry darling, you'll be just fine. Come, let's go and makeover, it's almost time for the conf
Wendy's POV. He took a few strides towards me and soon I was breathing him. Gosh! How can a man smell so good? "Why are you here, Wendy?" He asked the seriousness in his voice snapping me out of the trance I was in. I took a deep breath to stabilize myself before I looked him straight in the eyes, trying hard to focus and not have any other indecent thoughts about him."Mrs. Wood asked me to bring some books to you, she said you had requested for them," I replied, my heart beating so loud that I could hear it.Wait...is that normal?"Books, alright, thank you." He muttered before he took a step away from me.It's a terrible idea to be standing in my hot professor's room, especially when he's half-naked and looking so tempting. "I never knew you could say thank you." I blurted out and I slapped myself inwardly for initiating a conversation.I don't know why I said whatever I had said but it just feels odd to leave him so quickly. I guess I wasn't used to that side of him. "There a
Wendy's POV. 'I WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE TO DESTROY ALL YOU THINK YOU HAVE BUILT AND I SHALL NEVER GET TIRED' His words kept ringing in my head continuously despite being in a big hall filled with numerous students and some set of men and women giving us lectures about our course but my mind was far off, the only thing keeping me from crying my eyes out right now was this crowded place. May chattered excitedly beside me, ignorant of the storm raging within me. "Wendy, can you believe we're part of this expedition? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"I forced a smile and turned to look at her, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm and I attempted to feign interest. "Yeah, May, it's incredible."The speaker on the stage droned on about the significance of the expedition, but his words were drowned out by Professor George's haunting threat echoing in my mind. I felt a lump forming in my throat as I struggled to maintain composure.How's my new life falling apart because of just one man,
