The Bad Boy's Lottery FORTY THREE
NORAI was however left surprised and at the same time grateful when all he did was pull me in for a hug. I don’t know what made him change his mind, but whatever it is deserves a pat on the back for a job well done. He made sure the hug lasts no more than a few seconds before withdrawing, a tight cough briefly slipping out his mouth as he itched at his nape and stared at my face, doing nothing to ease the awkwardness but rather intensify it. “I think I should get going.” Tapping my fingers together by my side, I spoke, and he gave countless nods. That had I not know better, would have thought he wants me away but instead, I can see the nervousness creating impurities in his eyes. “Yeah, sure. See you later.” He responded, a cocky grin splaying on his lips as I went. I made my way down the hallway, my hands holding on my backpack’s straps as I continue towards the parking lot.The ride home was short this time around, which I guess was because I did nothing but slept throughout, g

JORDANI tapped my fingers against my leg, watching my stepmother pace the floor with nervous energy. She kept glancing at the door, as if expecting someone to barge in at any moment. Her jaw was clenched, and her brow was furrowed in worry. I could tell she was on edge, which shouldn’t be my business but I found myself seated awaiting whoever it is she’s attempting to let in at this hour of the day. As Sawyer continued to pace, she turned and suddenly noticed me in the corner. Her eyes widened as she approached me, her steps slow and deliberate. She stopped in front of me, her face neutral but her eyes probing, as if trying to read my thoughts."You never told me I assigned you as my watch guard," she said, her voice cold and measured. "What are you doing here?"I met her gaze, keeping my expression blank and my posture relaxed. "I'm here because I wanted to be," I said. "Is there something wrong with that?"A flicker of annoyance crossed her face, but she quickly recovered her c

NORAI crept through the gambling house, my heart pounding in my chest. Sawyer followed close behind, her presence looming over her like a dark cloud. She pushed the door to the back room open, and I stepped inside, my eyes darting around the room. I saw a desk, a chair, and a window, the only source of light in the dim room. I pushed the chair out and sat down, my hands shaking.I watched Sawyer leaned against the desk, her face twisted in a scowl. "What do you think you're doing?" She growled trying to nip fear into me, while I just leaned my back against the chair and took a deep breath. I don’t know how she managed to know I came over recently to her home, the next thing I knew was her at my doorstep almost knocking the gate down. I wouldn’t want her to make a scene so like she requested, I followed her down here."I don't know what you're talking about, I wasn't at your house, I swear. I don't know who you saw, but it wasn't me.""Don't play games with me." She snapped and pu

NORAI felt like I was instantly blazed by fire. I became utterly terrified, forced air clogging my breath as I realized what the hell I had just done. I blinked up at him miserably as I snapped distance in between our lips, even though the deed was done already. It was safe to say I shocked the heck out of us both. I wasted no time wrenching my body from him also. Seeing as his face was still firmly alarmed, I knew he wasn’t expecting it also. Neither was I. Courtesy of my goddamn foot.“I-m so sorry, I wasn’t looking.” I couldn’t even form a coherent word. I quickly grabbed my handbag from the floor and took off, fleeing down the street as fast as I could. I could still hear the sound of his laughter behind me as I ran, and I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I finally reached the end of the block, out of breath, and stopped to catch a breath. I leaned against a wall, closing my eyes, her head spinning."Are you okay?" a voice said, and I opened my eyes to see a concerned-look

LUCANLike always, I made sure to be discreet as always while stalking Nora in and out of school. Yet again, I bite through my clenched teeth as her stepping strayed, and I suppressed myself from running over to her. From her pale skin in the morning, I notified she wasn’t feeling too well. And since I have one of my classmate walk together with me on the way to school, I could not trail her as usual. A few seconds of silence passed by before I noticed she’s stopped. I was ready to take a turn and hide somewhere close when I heard her grunt into her palm and my brows quickly furrowed in apprehension. My instincts kicked in, and I lunged forward, catching Nora just before she hit the ground. Her eyes fluttered closed, and she went limp in my arms. Panic coursed through my veins as I realized she had fainted. I carefully lowered her to the ground, checking for a pulse and breathing.After a moment, I let out a breath of relief as I felt her steady heartbeat and heard her shallow bre

NORAI stirred in my sleep, my eyelids fluttering as I began to awaken. As I opened my eyes, I found herself staring up at a dark ceiling, and for a moment I wondered where she was. I reached for the bedside lamp, only to find nothing there. A rush of panic filled me as I realized I wasn't in my own bedroom. It slowly dawned on me that I was in Lucan's room.The last thing I remembered was passing out in the hallway at school. I hesitantly lowered my feet to the floor, expecting the room to spin around me. Instead, I felt a strange sense of calm. I let out a slow breath, surprised by my body's sudden stillness. Slowly, I stood up and walked out of the room, my bare feet padding softly across the wooden floor. The hallway was silent and dark, and I felt my heart begin to race again but it was nothing. As I reached the end of the hallway, I turned the corner and saw a light spilling from the living room, the sight of it was somehow comforting. I stood in the shadows by the living r

NORA“What are you doing here?”I turned to face my brother, her eyes wide with confusion and disbelief. Whilst, Liam just stared back at me, his face impassive. Jordan stood next to him, his arms crossed, and his jaw set.The principal watched the two of them, his brow furrowed. Suddenly, Jordan turned and stormed out of the office, the door slamming behind him.My head was shaking with anger as I stared at my brother, my eyes flashing with accusation. "You decided to stay behind and cause trouble at my school?" I demanded, my hands balling into fists at my sides.He just looked at me, his expression unreadable, his mouth a thin, hard line. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash, slapping it down on the principal's desk. "Take this, chase that guy out of this school, and we'll call it even."The principal's eyes shifted from Liam to Nora, a frown creasing his brow. "I can't accept this." he said, standing his ground. "And I won't ask a student to leave just becaus

LIAMI walked into the bar, the smell of alcohol and sweat filling my nose. The dimly lit room was packed with people, loud music blaring from the speakers. My eyes adjusted to the darkness, and I saw groups of people huddled around small tables, their faces glowing in the blue light of their phones. I made my way to the bar, and almost immediately, a group of women approached me, their faces eager and excited. I could tell they were sizing me up, trying to determine if I was worth their time.I ignored the women who were trying to catch my attention, and walked straight to the bartender. He looked at me, his eyes widened in surprise. I could tell he recognized my wealth, and he was eager to please. I sat down at the bar, and he slid a menu towards me. I looked at it briefly, but I knew what I wanted. "I'll have a scotch, neat." I said, and he nodded, reaching for a bottle on the shelf behind him.I could feel the eyes of the women who had approached me still on me, but I paid them
