VALENTINE'S DAY Bonding with the enemy
Valentina’s P.O.VI think I’ve roughly spent two days in Ethan’s house, and for those two days he has been nothing but generous to me, taking care of me like the sister he never had.The only concern I had was, that he didn’t let me have my phone or my belongings, it was as though he was keeping me from reaching everyone else.I didn’t mind though, but I wanted to at least let Melissa know that I was alright. “Isn’t it a problem if you don’t go to school?” I found myself asking Ethan who was only focused on peeling the apples in his hands, I didn’t know he could take care of a person like this. He glanced at me and then smiled, before shrugging his shoulders and continuing to peel the apples.“I don’t care what happens to that.” He muttered, something about his voice got me worried. “School sucks anyways.”“Wouldn’t your father be worried about you?” I asked again and he paused for a while, he stopped peeling the apple and for a split second, he glared at me.“He is with his new wife,
VALENTINE'S DAY Parting on good terms
Valentina’s P.O.V“Since I have answered your question, you are going to give me back my diary, right?” I asked instead, Ethan got up from the chair brought the plate, and placed it on my lap.I gazed down at the finely sliced apples and then looked back at him in appreciation. “Thank you.”“I plan to return your diary to you, so don’t be worried.” He answered me, I nodded back at him as I picked one of the slices of the apples in the plate and stuffed it in my mouth.“It’s delicious, thank you,” I said again with awe in my eyes.“Even though your stepfather physically assaulted you to the point of hospitalization and injury, your mother never said anything?” He queried and I nodded. “Why?”“My mother is sick, and also she hates me,” I answered but I can’t answer any more than that.“Is that the reason why you wanted to die?” He insisted and I started coughing, swiftly, he handed me water from the glass cup that was seated on top of the bedside table and I gulped down the content hurr
VALENTINE'S DAY School Disciplinary Committee
Valentina’s P.O.V The morning sun cast a warm glow against the worn-out curtain of my room, I came back very late last night, and I stretched in my bed feeling awake in my small, cozy bed. As soon I got up I couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of energy. The nostalgia memories of living with Ethan were replaced by the sadness of the realization that today was my last day both at home and in school. I picked up the letter in my name and closed the envelope, I would give this to Mrs. Carla and thank her for all the times she had helped me while I was being bullied by my classmates. I picked up the bag Ethan got for me yesterday, I wanted to repay his kindness this way, I wanted him to know that I appreciated his efforts. As I approached the hallways that led to classes, I was unable to shake the feeling that something was off. The usual hum of students chatting and laughter seemed subdued, they were all staring at me, giving me evil eyes. An odd hush hung in the air, and I couldn'
VALENTINE'S DAY Where is Valentina
Ethan P.O.V I walked briskly toward the gate, my backpack slung over one shoulder, after skipping school for two full weeks I was ready to start with my academics again, I wondered if Valentina was already in school at the moment. I should probably ask her to lunch with me after school, since we are friends now, she might not be so much weary of me again and since I am already sure of my feelings for her, I am going to confess to her today. Just as I walked past some of the junior students, I noticed Travis approaching me from the corner of my eyes, and as soon as he noticed me his brow furrowed in frustration. A smirk played on my lips when I caught sight of his scowling face, he was mad at me and it was so damned obvious. "Ethan! About time you showed up!" He said sarcastically throwing his hands up in the air adding more drama to his sarcasm and to top it all up, he rolled his eyes at me. Yes, Travis was mad at me. He usually gets that childish when he was mad "Hey, Travis. W
VALENTINE'S DAY Nothing left
Valentina’s P.O.V All that mattered to them was the reputation of the school, no one was asking me if I was okay or anything, I stared hard at the photographs in my hands, the person in them was undoubtedly me, I became confused and dizzy. This was a mistake, there must be a mistake somewhere, because why would anyone do this to me? I felt bile rise to my throat, I needed air… I needed to get out of here.“What do you have to say, Miss Valentina?” One of the committee members shot at me accusingly. “I don’t know how it happened.” I was still in denial. “I don’t remember any of these happening, but it wasn’t me who uploaded them to the school, there is no way I would do something like this and then put it out in the open for everyone to see.”I felt the intensity of my voice increasing as I spoke, I was shouting at them, tears blurring my vision. “Miss Valentina, we have protocols in place for such incidents.” The head of the committee lectured in a placid voice and I felt my heart
VALENTINE'S DAY She needs Me
Ethan P.O.V "Where the fuck could she be?" I yelled running my hands through my hair in frustration, I had gone to the swimming pool area, and I had gone to the emergency exit at the back, those are the two places she usually spends her leisure. She wasn’t fucking there, I could feel my frustration eat me up from inside, Travis was also equally worried but he was a bit more rational. While I was throwing my limbs all over the place, he seemed to be searching for her in a more composed manner. “You got to calm down, man.” He said running up towards me. “You saw that video too, didn’t you?” I asked him curiously and he paused slightly before nodding reluctantly. “Do you expect me to calm down, knowing Valentina could see that thing?”“Even if you find her, we still have to tell her the truth.” He insisted and I clenched my fist in frustration. “You can’t hide it from her forever, everyone knows about it, it would be a miracle if she hasn’t found out yet.” I don’t care what everyo
VALENTINE'S DAY Please, Come here
Ethan’s P.O.V “Have you seen Valentina?” I asked another random student that passed me, the bunch of them shook their heads immediately, so where on earth could she be? “Where is she if no one has seen her?” “Maybe she had gone home,” “The surveillance group hasn’t seen her, which means she is still on the school property.” I snapped back at Travis, as we went to the back of the school.I was grateful for his presence at least, even if I was being a bitch to him at the moment, I was still grateful for him. I don’t know what I would have done if I was the only one out here looking for Valentina, I would be going crazy right now. I was about to ask him for something else when we suddenly heard screams coming from the front of the school. “What is that?” He asked me and my head snapped in the direction of the noise, Travis and I glanced at each other before we decided to run towards the main building of the school. A lot of other students were gathering in front and they were gazing
VALENTINE'S DAY I'm free
Valentina’s P.O.V It hurts so much, the pain in my clogged throat hurts so much, and what hurts even more was Ethan’s rambling, he must see me as some kind of fool who wouldn’t realize he was doing everything to hurt me. “What are you talking about?” He asked, this time he marched towards me and I tilted myself to the other end of the rail making him stop in his tracks. “I will never do something like that, to you or to anyone else.” “You think I will believe you?” He clenched his fists in his hands, why do I feel he was also struggling with something?“You have to believe me, is that the kind of person you think I am Valentina?” How dare he sound offended when I am the one who is hurt, after he used me he is trying to play victim. “Then at least come down from there so I can prove myself to you.”“I don’t want to.” I had made up my mind, right from the time I climbed up here, I wasn’t going to come down from here. “You should leave me alone, Ethan.” His eyebrow tightened at me and
