Winning Walker STEYN
STEYN Reminiscing, I made myself a cup of coffee and took it upstairs to my room to calm down my nerves.Fact about this thing called life is that you'll always meet people that differ. There would always be that one person who'd change you, the one who'd challenge you, one with a different perspective of everything you stand for.Whatever the situation was, letting myself get bullied wasn't among the plan. I was always the wrong person to be picked on.My legs raised high enough to reach the roof, I giggled, talking with Kylie over the phone."You slapped someone?" Kylie asked for the third time in seconds, like it was something unfathomable."I didn't think it would happen on my first day at school." I confided. "Think of it as a necessary evil.""Can you go over what led to this scene again?" Kylie pleaded."I won't." I replied curtly. "You're so into anything that's gossip." "This one is different. You just have some drama in your life after complaining nonstop about that place.

STEYNI awoke to the sound of my alarm ringing my ears off.The hardest part of sleeping was waking up and I'm not joking.It was already past eight and I was still dragging bed with my duvet. On a second thought, the house was awfully quiet.My mum was so tired that she slept in? Way to go! I grimaced.The thought of surprising her with the fact that I myself, can wake up without her chewing off my ears and tearing down the door with her complaints got me excited, and soon enough, I was on my feet.The plan was simple. I would use the bathroom, get ready for school and then make us breakfast. The idea of breakfast in bed for my mother popped up in my head a while later, and soon enough I found myself in the kitchen.I wasn't much of a make up person, do I didn't bother myself with that but the excitement building up in my insides was so much, I felt that I would use a little bit of mascara, eyeliner and lipglossBreakfast in bed.I strutted into the kitchen and made my way to the fr

STEYN"How could you leave like that?" Luke asked, taking long strides towards me."Can you stop getting on my nerves already?" I asked. "You really weren't joking about me waiting for you to answer your phone?""I wasn't." He replied."My bad, young master." I eyed him. "Next time, ask me to wait on you while you use the toilet.""Don't be so grumpy," He replied, draping his hands around my neck. "I'm clingy."I cringed. This guy was dragging attention our way and didn't seem to be bothered. I poked him on the ribs to get him to release his grip on me but to no avail."You can't say something like that." I replied, agitated. "Isn't your homeroom the other way?" I pointed in the opposite direction."Yes. But I'll see you to your class first. Walker isn't going to be in school today. So you're stuck with me for the rest of the day."I sighed. He was becoming overbearing."I'm not." I replied. "We share separate classes, lunch and we use different routes , how can we be stuck together?

STEYN.Sitting alone for all my classes, felt like an entire eternity had passed. Enduring the snide remarks and disgusting looks people threw my way was suffocating me.At that moment, I understood what it felt like to have a friend. Not just a friend, someone you could sit with and talk about random things, someone like Ruby.Not like I was bothered about the incessant things they were saying without even bothering to hide the fact, I was just a little bit concerned.First of all, I didn't like Walker in that manner. This was my redemption.I couldn't believe that Ruby and I talked for almost the entire day without exchanging contact. It was crazy.I got worried, thinking about why she wasn't in school because she didn't strike me as one who would skip school.My thoughts raced with various reasons as to why when I began hearing snippets of conversations from around me."I feel for jenner. That bitch just materializes out of nowhere and decides to sink her ship with Walker?" One sa

STEYN"Are you going to explain to me the scenario I just experienced out there?" I asked Luke the moment we stepped out of the cafeteria."Relax Steyn. I was helping you, you know?" He said.It was almost difficult keeping up with his long strides, I had to hasten my place to keep up with him."Yeah. You were." I replied sarcastically. "Superman to the rescue. I'm grateful.'"You're welcome." He grinned."That wasn't a compliment.""That's bad." He furrowed his brow. "I took it as one."Psst." I shook my head at his annoying behavior and hastened my pace."Don't be so mad." He caught up with me. "That was the only way I knew to make you feel more at ease."The sincerity in his eyes made me heave."Whatever." I brushed him off."I wasn't joking when I asked if you'll love to come with me to Walker's.""Really Luke?" I looked at him in disbelief. "If it was a joke, it would be better.""What do you mean?" He asked in confusion."On what grounds do I visit Walker's house?" I asked him.

From a close up distance, Luke pointed out the Walker's house to me. It was the only building on that lane and the most outstanding.The Walker's house sat prettily on a lonely lane called oakwood. From here, I could see the roofing sheet, shoot high and proud.The tall trees standing flamboyantly and proudly, seemed to shrink as we got closer.The entire floor was made of marble and the walls that held up the gate were made of mahogany wood."Their home is beautiful." I muttered."You should come here at night." Luke smiled. "It's even more beautiful then.'"Why is that?" I asked."The house seems to glow and the blue color of the glass house radiates." He told me."Oh, it's a glass house?" I asked."Haven't you noticed?" He asked, and as if a thought just occurred to him, he looked me over. "You're short. I forgot.""Don't spoil the mood." I warned. "Drive faster, so I get a clearer view."The gates opened when we got close and closed when we were inside.From here, I got a clear vie

STEYN"Here." Nana said, offering me a drink with a smile."Thank you." I said quietly, retrieving the drinking glass. "Why's your name Nana?"Quietly, she took the vacant space close to me on the patio and began."I've lived with the Walker's for over twenty years of my life. Ever since Sky was a kid and have served as a nanny to all of them." She told me. "I've been such a huge part of their life, that the kids forget I'm not even a part of their family. They're nice people."I smiled, nodding my head."I came because Luke said Ruby asked me to." I confided in her, feeling more at ease with myself. "I've barely been one week here and I've known Ruby for a day or two?" I ended my statement with a question mark, trying to recall if Ruby and I got to talk for two days at all. Or was it one?"When Ruby came home from school on the first day of resumption, she wouldn't stop talking about the new girl she had just met. In a way, it made me happy, because I believe every child should hav

Waving Nana a final goodbye, I got in the passenger seat beside Luke and slammed the door so hard that he jerked in fright."What the fuck!!" He yelled. "What did you do that for?" He asked."Isn't that my line?" I asked."You got my heart skipping two beats there." He placed a palm on his chest."Honestly, " I gave him the I'm not joking look. "I don't like today's happenings at all.""What are you talking about?" He feigned Innocence."Really?" I looked at him."Yeah."I rolled my eyes. "Just drive. You're not worth stressing over.""That hurt." He said, killing the engine and bowing his head over the steering wheel."Really? Just drive or I'm going to get out and walk!!" I yelled, getting agitated by the minute.For emphasis, I got out of the car, slammed the door shut in his face and began walking to wherever.Remembering that I'd left the cookies Nana gave in his car, I walked back and got them out.Knowing Luke, he would probably eat them and call to tell me that he had eaten it
