“Schools in an hour and a half, everyone get up” I heard Jace yell out and then a bang in the kitchen “shit” I heard a grumble from out there and I winced as my alarm started to ring causing me to reach over and press the off button. “I don't want to” Ru grumbled and I laughed as he looked up at me with annoyance in his eyes. “Well, we have to and I need to get up, I’m hungry” I said with a small pout but he shook his head, his arms pulling me further into him in a tight grip and I fought back a smile that wanted to escape my lips. Moving my hand down I move it through his hair and I feel his body completely relax into mine. I never thought he’d ever want to be this close to me. Part of me wanted to rip it apart and destroy whatever trust he suddenly had in me but another part wanted to hold onto it while I could have it. Some day soon it would be gone and I would be on my own again, no feelings like this because they’ll be dead and I’ll be free and in complete and total control o
By the time lunch came around my mood had begun to drain but I still had some excitement for my literature class I would have after lunch. "Ready to go" Sofia asked and I nodded with a smile. "Yeah, but I'll meet you; I'm gonna use the restroom first" I said before walking off down the hall, stopping, I dropped my bag down onto the floor before walking to the sink and splashing some water on my face. Checking through and outside of the bathroom I find it secluded before I pick up my phone calling Jake "hey boss" I heard him say from the other side of the phone. "Have you found Alexander, and did you get what I sent you last night?” I asked not even fully greeting him and I heard a small laugh from the other end. "Wow straight to the point gotcha" he joked before I heard typing from the other end "I'll send you everything I have right now and Alexander is still MIA" he said and I let out a growl. "I'll call you in a few days when I get him" he stated confidently and I l took in a
"Hey" I said and Ella looked at me in surprise. "Who knew you'd be a cheerleader too" she said kinda excited before nudging Naomi who was looking off to the side next to her. "I don't wanna be here" Naomi stated and I laughed at how blunt and annoyed she looked. "I get that feeling" I stated and she brightened up a bit. "Thank god, you got forced into this too" she said and I nodded and Sofia gasped. "That makes a bit more sense" she said and then I let out a gasp this time in mock pain while I put my hand over my chest. "How mean" I said in a small voice causing them to laugh as they watched me before the coach walked in. "Girls, today you're getting your uniforms" she yelled out and I looked around a bit confused. "No tryouts" I ask and Naomi laughs. "Have you cheered before?" she asked and I let out a sigh. "A few years ago, please don't tell anyone" I said in a hushed tone, it was something my mother had forced on me and I hope none of those dreaded ass memories come bac
I was laying in my bed when Link stormed into my room causing me to sit up and stare at him in utter confusion. I hadn’t talked to any of them in the last few hours and for what I knew most of them had left talking about getting dinner and setting up a movie tonight. Honestly I didn’t know anyone had stayed home, but here he was staring at me now “I thought about what you said” he stated and my eyebrows furrowed, what exactly was this dude going on about right now. “And you know what I’d like to say I know you quite a bit just without you realizing” his voice came out defensive and I just nodded slowly. “Alright” I whispered and he threw his arms up. “That’s all I get” he exclaimed and I laughed, genuinely at the annoyance on his face “you know we never spend time together anymore” he said and I went silent. “You have a point” I said, nodding a bit and he hummed, nodding a bit and starting to pace back and forth in front of my bed once again “Link calm down” I said softly while w
About half-way through the movie he cleared his throat before trailing his fingers up my arm before he was soft to question me “Amara are you going to hate me if I keep talking bad about Blondie” he asked and I looked up at him from my lying position on his chest slightly annoyed. “Out of all things you want to talk about Sofia right now” I asked annoyed and he let out a sigh before diverting his eyes from mine “really Link” I sighed sitting up while shaking my head a bit “I thought the arguments earlier were enough” I complained. “Sorry, it's just I don’t like her” he said and I waited before he leaned his head on my back “I don’t like that she gets to touch you when I can’t” he whispered and I felt my tense body relax a bit, he sounded so defeated as he spoke. “You're on me right now” I stated but I felt him shake his head. “You know that’s not what I meant Amara” he stated and I stayed silent waiting for him to continue and I feel his hands travel up and down my side his head m
"Perfect" I whispered while pulling down the paint brush and smiling softly looking at how the brush strokes fanned across the canvas together. "Amara" I heard a gasp from behind me and when I looked back I saw Sofia. Her eyes were wide and her lips were parted as she stared at my painting from over my shoulder. "What's wrong?" I asked and she shook her head before a large smile took over her face. "It's absolutely beautiful" she whispered, looking over at me and making eye contact "you're very talented Amara" she said and the praise made me sit up a bit higher with a large genuine smile. "Thank you Sofia" I whispered before looking down and she quickly grabbed me from behind. "Do you think we could do some sessions together, just us?" she asked in a whisper next to my ear in an almost seductive tone causing my body to want to revolt away from her touch. "Yeah of course, I don't really know when though" I said with a laugh pretending to be oblivious but the strongest part of me
“You're going to drop her” Sofia scolded as Naomi lifted up Ella attempting to help her flip over and I just stood there watching them. Naomi glared at Sofia while Ella held onto Naomi to stop her from saying something to the bossy blonde, how the hell did I get myself stuck into this shit I questioned myself. The boys on the field were starting to slow down and I squatted down watching a group of girls yelling at each other, pay for a perfect team thats fucking broken, I rolled my eyes standing up and climbing onto a bleacher. “Hey” I called out sternly and everyone went silent looking over at me confused “how the fuck are we supposed to get anything done if all any of you do is stand here screaming at each other” I ask and some of the girls glared at me. The coach for the football team had even stopped the guy’s practice in confusion looking over at me “well she pushed me” one girl called out and I sighed. “Why the hell should we listen to you” another girl called out and I loo
We were driving down a long road, covered by trees, the only true sound being our breathing and the trimming of the car going over the small shambled road as we drove to town. There was a light tension in the air, something he wanted to say but was biting his tongue. The engine shook as he pressed a bit more on the gas, his hand gripping the steering wheel. His knuckles were starting to turn white and his expression was fully indifferent as he stared out of the windshield, the world around us darker than before as the sun finished setting. His head had to of been whirling as his jaw clenched, whatever was going through his mind had me on edge, defensive and ready to protect myself when needed. I could feel the car slow and his eyes darted to me for a moment before he pulled over to the side and turned towards me “were you ever going to tel me” he asked his tone coming out harsh and cold as a glare was sent my way and I twisted my body in my seat towards him. “What are you talking
