NORA“Of course, I’m so happy to see him.” I gave the best of my fake smiles.I love Liam so much but he’s driving me crazy trying to play the match maker. I expected it all on a Saturday morning but never Liam inviting Theodore over, intentionally. He’s the devil sent after me at this point. I knew already it he knows about his best friend’s feelings for me but I trust Theodore on not telling Liam he has asked me out already. No, let me rephrase it, he’s been asking me out. I gnashed my teeth as I imagined what tantrum Liam will throw when he finally knows. “You must.” He nodded and I laughed alongside, even though it was the slightest bit funny, I had to cooperate. I held the door open even more wider as Theodore came in, one of our staff walking past to drop his little luggage in the guest room. According to Liam, Theodore would be spending the weekend here, due to a reason best known to him, that he wasn’t ready to reveal. Yet. “Hi, Theo.” I did what I had to do. I hugged h
NORAI walked to and fro school each day with my head hung low. Even weeks after Liam attacked me, I still wasn’t able to shake off the guilt. He was right on point and I should have knew Theodore would confess to him at some point, nevertheless, I’m not blaming in, if anything, he did the best for himself by not bottling it up. Like Liam told me to think through my senses, I couldn’t help it and ended up not sleeping throughout the whole of that night. And even with all those thought, I still kept on going to Liam’s house. Though not constantly but few times. He’s the only person who has the ability to tame me emotionally and also together with my health like. I made sure to avoid him at school with every ability and then I go to his house, on few times with low chances of Sawyer been home. Liam made enough sense with his statement and how most of the family’s reputation lays on my shoulders and how I had better not destroy it but I’m still finding a possible way I can go for hi
NORABy the time Cassidy and I walked out of the nurse’s office, it was lunch time already.I tried my best to avoid her this morning, I should have known she can never leave without a fight. She fought me and I striked back, I had a good time painting her face with some parts of my frustrations. There was already enough on my plate. She always wants to add more. “Be ready to pay for this.” She half yelled, pushing back so my bank thudded against the wall behind me. “And you are the one who won’t pay for what you did? Come on, your face looked like it could use some punch, it adds to your beauty.” Smears of smirk gathered their way over my face as I took in the lord of bruises on her face. She gave me pretty ones also, but I made sure I made more strikes than her.I nudged her backward, and pushed myself off the wall. “Stay far away from me.” I laid emphasis on all five of my words before sauntering off, leaving her on stand, to feed on her own anger.I hope this doesn’t get to m
JORDANEasier said than done, I couldn’t get myself out of the bet Nathan threw forth at me weeks back to trap me. He didn’t mean it but was going to do it upon my failure, so I did it. I made sure to put him in a tight spot, as I allocated him a task to deliver my letter to Nora. I am not taking Nora on the date just because my friend pressured me to. I decided to do this because I feel I better grab this opportunity and if Nora and I manage to keep this a secret, trouble might not occur. I am not a great talker. Making me see low chances of this date been a successful. I promised myself I was going to try. “Don’t tear her into shreds on your first date. Make sure you postpone it.” I recollected how Nathan and Rodney roared upon my departure, humor oozing off their sentence. But here I am wondering how I would follow through and get my arousal in check when she’s standing across me looking so gorgeous and eat-able. We can do it out at her gate right? Damn, can this be postponed?
LUCANCaught in the act, I called it quit for today. I wasn’t expecting Nora to arrive back at her house with Jordan and to make it worse, I know he saw me. “Wasn’t that Jordan?” Cassidy asked me as soon as I turned the corner. I fastened my pace, instead of replying her. Jordan might decide to come after me. I was grateful she didn’t ask anymore questions and just followed me, as I led her out of the vicinity. She doesn’t know I was here to monitor Nora’s movement like before. She pleaded with me to come with me and even though she knew it was Nora’s house, she didn’t know my motive. Had I known Jordan would be there, I won’t have brought her alongside. “You’re yet to answer my question?” Just when I thought she’d forgotten, she repeated her question as we got into her car and I sighed. “Yes, it was. It was Jordan, happy now?” I dramatically flared my arms in the air. “If you mean angry, then yes.” She opposed while I just kept quite. We aren’t exactly best of friends now bu
NORAI don’t know what was with the murmurs when I arrived at school. The whispers were worth eavesdropping on and the big glittering on everyone’s face was a mystery to unravel. There is this strange bustling aura in the air and I can’t be so sure a party wasn’t going on somewhere around. Plus, examinations are only two weeks away, can someone tell me the reason why they are wandering aimlessly around? “Who among you all has a wedding today?” I asked when I arrived at our classroom, Natalie shifting away as I slammed my backpack over my desk. “You noticed it too? Good.” She didn’t bother to look at me as she kissed her tooth, pushing me down on my seat. For the first time ever, rumors pulled my interest.“Can you tell me what’s going on? Can’t miss out on this.” I told her, my own words surprising me. I watched her doodle away on her notepad but didn’t interrupt her. A minute later, she shifted it over and I glanced through whatever it is she doodled. It was worth the wait, it
JORDANI do challenge Sawyer back very often but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t aware of the stunts she’s capable of pulling.She has been taking it pretty well but I knew one day she would snap. And the day came pretty faster than I would imagine. I grew to fear her. After all, she’s been my father’s accomplice and not until lately did I start matching her energy. It was when I joined the underground world that I began to grow the wings to talk back at her, and throw some retorts flat at her face. Then the energy surged. When Nora stepped back into my life after that one year I saw her, things changed and never remained the same. A year back Sawyer and Jasper had so much control on me. I would only go back on their instructions if I have deemed it the right time to drop out of school. The day they were both paid to get me to sign a contract with the prime minister, I had a choice not to do it but that meant I was tired of having a roof under my head. I was the bad boy at school and
NORA“Let no one in.” I instructed for the fourth time this week. Figured it’s probably fate drawing me back to my studies. I was done going here and there with Jordan, dang, I was so brutally hurted the past few days that just the sight of anyone pisses me off. “You think he’s going to come?” Natalie asked as she followed me back to my room. My shoulders slumps as I ascend the stages, “He might.” It wasn’t the best thing to do so I didn’t skip school but I made sure Jordan and I never meet. And now after school on Friday, I escaped out of school with Natalie even though there’s a low Jordan would come over.He announced he was going to think about her proposal without even considering me. Well, not like we are dating or something but it breaks me. Both are probably dating currently, and Cassidy, she must be the happiest on earth. Exams are in a week and I can’t wait for it to be over so I go and never come back. In fact, my dad would be so happy have me transfer to another schoo
