NORAI stared at Frida who also stared back at me. If I am not mistaken and haven’t got the calculation wrong, it’s been over seven years since I’ve seen her. Apparently, we were best friends.“What’s she doing here?” I looked over at Liam and asked him. It wasn’t hard to tell that her been here is his handiwork. “She transferred schools.” He made mention and shrugged like it was nothing new. “If she transferred schools, why then is she here?” I asked him and I watched him rub his forehead, looking fed up of my queries. “She transferred to yours.” I choked on thin air at his admission, he possibly can’t be serious. Seven years ago, it was all rosy and a sunshine for both Frida and I until she had to transfer to a real costly school somewhere far away so now I’m confused, she can’t be here if something hadn’t went wrong with her family. Bankrupted, perhaps? “What for?” I sat upright on my seat. “To follow you here and there.” He shrugged his shoulders yet again a nonchalant smil
NORA“Don’t get too close, it might burn you!” I shrieked. For a moment, my heart almost flew out of its rib cage when Jordan reached his hand towards the red flame. I don’t know why he did it but by the look of things, he seems to be seeking my reaction. “It wasn’t even your hand and you’re this scared.” He said and I glared at him, until he finally shifted back. I then sighed. “It might be yours but those fingers are serving me too. They are pretty much precious, as you can see.” I defended, hearing his playful snort from behind me as I turned and placed the pot on fire. “Good to know you’re becoming obsessed with my fingers, while yours are right there.” He stated and I couldn’t agree more. Those fingers of his are pretty much marvelous and a necessary price to be won each time. It still would have been under me if Jordan hadn’t expressed his hunger, he insisted on going right out to get us food but to make it quicker, I stopped him.I’ll just finish the cooking and we go back
LUCANThis would be the first time I witnessed Nora’s anger. She must have thought I went my own way as soon as we departed but I was right there behind her, like I have always been even from the very first day she stepped into this school. I made sure to put enough distance between us as I carefully followed her into the store room. And since she was going there to let out some rage, I decided it’s better I don’t capture this. So I lowered my camera, and watched her from a distance- but close enough to hear them. “Okay, what’s going on here?” Nora disrupted their moments and by them, I mean jordan and Cassidy.Even though Nora was angry, she tried not to show it and held herself high. Those qualities are nothing but graceful to my eyes. And if not that I have my eyes on Cassidy already, I would downright let myself fall head over heels for Nora. “What do you mean what’s going on here? Your eyes are tinted or what?” Cassidy scoffed and worked on her manicured nails, while raising
NORAThe next week was hell in our abode.One thing was bribing Liam not let his mouth slip, another thing was him logically robbing me of my allowance even though he has more than enough. All in one, I dare not leave him home with my parents. ‘’Shouldn’t this past days be in the history? I’m amazed.’’ Liam teased from across his office desk, flipping through the solid evidence in his hands. I won’t lie, I feel uncertain and at the same time curious of how those daily pictures of my here and there at school somehow happens to land in his hand.‘’You were never this scary.’’ I peered up at him from the tip of my glasses, before slamming shut the pretendiousmagazine in my my hand, and bolting up my feet. Anyone can see I was done with the pretense. ‘’You made me this way.’’ He replied, quicklyputting thephotos back in its wrapper and slidding it into his drawer. He made sure to safe keep them before I could reach him.‘’No, I didn’t. There is nothing going on between me and Jordan,
JORDANI cracked.“It’s crystal clear you’re out of your mind.” I swallowed the bitterness at the back of my throat, the words piercing through my insides. His utterance caught me unaware. Of everything I was expecting to tumble out of Nathan’s mouth, it had to be this. Now I can’t be so sure he’s not drunk. He can’t be somber and attack me straightforwardly. “Why do you seem so surprised?” He nudged at my conscience and all I did was snap him a warning look. “The fact you say whatever comes out of your mouth without the slightest review does nothing than amaze me. Stop speaking nonsense.” I said. I crossed my hands in hope he takes the bait. And at least shut up. “Really?” He dropped his hands from my shoulder and asked for confirmation. I nodded stiffly not meeting his eyes. “Then explain this. An assignment surely doesn’t involve hanky-panky.” He lifted up some rough bedsheet out of nowhere and narrowed his eyebrow. I tensed, my mouth pressed in a thin line. “Isn’t it high t
NORAHe stilled, his eyes drilling into mine with an expression I couldn’t pin point over his face as he snapped my panties back up. “Scared?” I masked my face with seriousness even though I want to laugh so badly. He didn’t respond, instead slowly straightened up. Besides, before he could leave, I held him back nudged him back between my thighs. “I was kidding. You look scared.” I said, my hands on my chest to cover my nakedness, the intensity of his gaze was becoming too much to bear. Why’s he looking at me like that? Like I just toyed with him?“Scared? No. If anything, I don’t believe you.” He said, unmoving from above me.He’s taking precautions, like am some ticking bomb, that could explode at any given moment. Happens I couldn’t get enough of him so I came over, without Liam’s knowledge of course. And we were just about to kick start when I decided to mess with him, telling me I was on my period. He was so alarmed it surprised me, now he still thinks am lying. “You have to
JASPERI shuffled my hand through the cold congealed lasagna.Fully used to it and ones far more worse than this, I ought to have finished it but not when my mind was going through a tough time of indecision.“Hand it over in case you’re too emotionally down to eat. I shall finish it up for you, the pleasure is mine.” My eyes tore across the cell, and there he was, flashing his blackened tooth at me. Archer is a bastard. He toys with me without fail even though he knew I was always fully ready to beat him to stupor like every other time. “Learn to mind your business. Or your face could use a punch.” I tightened my grasp on the plate in my hand, and he smirked before turning away from me. I’m goddamn tired of being in here, with this animalistic forsaken fools who form of a human. Hell, I would have regained my freedom last six months if Jordan hadn’t cursed trouble. I really don’t have him to blame, had he been aborted way back when it wasn’t too late, I wouldn’t have to deal with
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
