When the movie was over and the lights came back on, we got up to leave. I let Katherine walk ahead of me when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I stopped in the middle of the aisle and felt someone bump into me from behind but when I turned, people still walked about and no one stopped to acknowledge it. I figured my abrupt halt caused the collision so I kept moving. When we got out of the viewing room, I tossed the empty popcorn pack and cans into the bin.
“That movie was amazing, guys!” Laura squealed.
I could not believe that what started as a great day ended in such a manner. Katherine did not even look at me when we left the cinema. We waited quietly for the bus to arrive and she got on the one headed in her direction. Just before she left, I gently took her hand in mine.“I’m sorry,” I whispered.“So am I,” she si
The man swore as he straightened his clothes then left. I held together what was left of my skirt and turned away from the guy. “Thanks but you can leave now.” The experience sobered me up a bit. I still felt hazy but I could speak clearly again. He took a step forward and the moonlight cast shadows around his face. I only saw the outline cl
I stared at the cold milkshake in my hands and took a sip. I seriously reconsidered if it was a good idea agreeing to meet up with Cindy. But she did not sound alright on the phone and a part of me was concerned about her.I looked up as footsteps approached the table and she sat opposite me.

Cindy ForbesI got home feeling guilty. I seriously hoped I hadn’t caused Michael any trouble but what he told me was unusual. I had to find out if it was true that Ethan was seeing an underaged girl. I mean, when we were younger sure he started a lot of things between us and he mostly succeeded in taking things to the next level.
While on the bus, I waited for a response from Ricky. His reply still had not come so I put my phone away and waited till I got home. Ola was in the sitting room playing board games with that Johnson boy, fine, his name was Christopher. I knew that.“Hey, Michael.” She waved from the where they sat on the floor.The boy turned and
The man before me appeared to be in his late thirties. He pulled out a folder and brought out a printed image.“Do you recognize this man?” He tapped the picture.I didn’t need to look twice.
I blinked and shook my head.“No, I just…” I remembered that I had to find an excuse. “I met with Dr Meyers and he said he might be able to help me gain admission into a university abroad. I wanted to know if that was okay with you before discussing further with him.”“I think it’s a lovely opportunit
Cindy Forbes I sat in my bedroom and stared into space. I had done a lot of that lately. So many thoughts were muddled up in my head. One of them was my inability to confront Ethan about him being with a younger girl. I felt I had to see it to believe it but how could I bring myself to see such a thing? I si
