Barbara's POV
This morning, I rode to school in Pinky's car. It was the first time in a long time and I was surprised when I saw her waiting for me, outside the house, leaning against her car’s door.
I didn't bother asking her, I just entered the car and she drove off. Neither of us said a word to each other even when we got to school and departed.
After my third class, just before lunch, I barged into Hunter as I was about to enter the cafeteria.
I scowled at him before he could say anything. He smiled and pursed his lips.
I removed his assignment from my bag and stretched it to him.
"Your assignment," he scrutinized me before c
"Good afternoon, Boss" I sang as I entered the pizza shop that I've been working at for over a week now. After my embarring moment with Hunter last week in school, I haven't set my eyes on him not once.Lima has been on my case about the star even though I kept on refusing by bringing up various excuses.I hope he doesn't turn up here today because he seems to frequent this place a lot these days."Good morning Barbara. How was cool today?" Hera's Uncle replied, smiling widely at me."It was great. Hera said hi" I informed him."That naughty child," he smiled before he walked back into his office.My friendship with Hera hasn't
Babe's POV The next morning in school, Hunter avoided me like a plague. He had always appeared in my line of vision since I stepped foot into McVegas' high but not anymore. He was leaning against his locker when I first saw him in the morning and immediately he sighted me walking towards him, he turned and walked away. I stood fixated at a spot trying to decipher what had happened. I wasn't planning on talking to Hunter in the first place but the fact that he did that made me glad I hadn't made up my mind to talk to him. He stole my first kiss and he had the nerve to act that way. Typical bad boy. "Babara, the principal wants you to see her. She's in her office," A student that I don't even know her name informed me.
Hunter's POV"Hunter, to what do I owe this visit?"The school principal smiled and gestured for me to walk into her office after I knocked twice.I was actually on my way to see her when the announcer suddenly called Babe's name so I had to wait behind for her to see the principal first before I went in.The reason why I told her those things about possibly ignoring her in days to come is actually the same reason that brought me here to the principal's office."Take your seat," she offered me the chair opposite her but I refused."No, thank you," I placed my right hand into my pocket and resisted my back against her door.
Babe's POV "Good evening, Mr. Arnold and his beautiful wife" I greeted as soon as my father opened the door to his apartment. My mother had successfully compelled me into having dinner with my father and his wife even though I didn't want to. She just has something against me! Something I can't do without. So, I didn't have any choice but to say yes. "I've missed you, Barbara and I'm glad you're here" he held my face and kissed my forehead. "Not by choice though" I muttered under my breath. "Thanks for coming, darling," my stepmother hugged me and pulled me towards her dining area. The apartment was nothing luxurious or gigantic, i
Babe's POVAunt Linda and I got to the hospital a few minutes after we received the terrifying phone call. We were both on our toes, scared and unsure of what we should feel."Where's Pinky Lesbron?" I asked as we reached the reception. My aunt was lost for words. Tears were rolling down her eyes and she wasn't saying a word."Was she admitted here tonight?" The nurse at the reception asked and I nodded."Yes, they brought her here" I confirmed her question."Give me a minute" She turned to the laptop in front of her and kept clicking the mouse for what appeared to me like hours whereas it was just for a few minutes.My aunt was already pacing the hallway in an
Babe's POVTrue to his words, Hunter waited for me after school hours. I came out of the school premises earlier than any other students so I'd quickly visit Pinky at the hospital."Hop on,"Hunter commanded and I hesitated."I almost died from a heart attack the last time I was on this death machine of yours" I complained.Hunter chuckled."If you hold on tight, you won't get hurt. You just hold on to me throughout the journey, I promise I won't hurt you"I shook my head, doubting his words."I guess I was just lucky the last time. What about your car?" I aske
Hunter's POV"Hunter,"Maj called out my name as I was about to enter the building we used as a hideout a few minutes after dropping Babe off at her apartment.It wasn't my intention to leave her there alone but I didn't have a choice, Stanny had told me something urgent was awaiting my attention and I needed to be there."Maj, I thought you disappeared from the surface of the earth," I smirked."No, I didn't. You just stopped noticing me since Barbara Arnold walked into McVegas' high" she replied, giving me her famous sad look, the same one that makes guys vulnerable and weak."I never gave you any unusual attention, Maj and you know it. We both know it was an agreeme
Babe's POV A loud crashing sound resonated across the room and I stood up from the chair sharply. I took the TV remote control and reduced the volume of the movie that I was watching. If it was an action movie, I would've deduced that the noise was from the TV but I was watching a rom-com Korean series that didn't have any action scenes except for cuddlings and kisses. My heart skipped a beat as another crashing sound reverberated. I stood fixated, I was too scared to move. Then, a coughing fit and a string of curses followed in turn. I shrieked as a loud noise of horror found its way out my throat when a completely naked man walked out of the room opposite the living room.
