"Jenner didn't mean what she said about you dying, you know that right?" I said to Ruby during gym.She smiled. "Ofcourse, Jenner likes to talk shit. I guess she's still bitter."I nodded. "I like to tell myself that she's not worth the hassle.""Definitely." Ruby agreed."We're dividing ourselves into teams for the hundred meter hurdle today. Pick your partner's." Coach said, stepping into the gym.There was a lot of murmuring and disagreement, obviously.I wasn't the only one who hated gym.I stood, contemplating which team to join , when I noticed that Jenner was picking girls for her team. Wasn't it supposed to be consensual?Like, I thought you were supposed to pick a team you wanted to be on?I shrugged, brushing the thought aside. A loud snarl drew my attention to where Ruby stood glaring at Jenner."What's wrong?" I asked. "If eyes could kill, yours would.""That bitch Jenner. She's taking the best girls in hurdling to be on her team!!"Oh? I raised a brow. So that was it? Trus
" Why's he the one picking us up?" I asked Ruby, on our way to the car park."Who?" She asked, sticking a stray hair behind her ears."Sky ofcourse." I rolled my eyes. "Stop pretending like you don't know."She giggled. "Ok. Sorry. But can you drive?""No?" I replied rhetorically."Sky's picking me up because I can't drive. Alex said he had somewhere to go to with Luke.""Oh. Okay." I said, not wanting to drag the topic on further. "Is he here yet already?""Uhhhrrmm-" her words caught in her throat. "I guess.""You guess?" I repeated,."Yeah sure." She nodded. "You see the blue Tesla over there? Looks like his but we won't know by just standing here."They must really come from money. I shrugged. Why would he even drive a Tesla to school where he knows there were lots of fangirls?He's such a show off. "Alright." I replied. "Let's get going before I change my mind.""No you wouldn't." She pinched my cheeks. "You don't have to be so shy, you know?"I laughed, pausing my lips. "What
"Hey! Why would you do that? Aren't you bothered by some people's safety at all? If you don't love yourself, you should consider others!" I yelled, running to catch up with Sky.When he kept on walking with no sign of remorse, I got agitated even more and pulled him backwards by the shirt.I guess I took him unawares by that pull, because he missed a step and staggered backwards, almost tumbling us both down.I gasped, half my anger dissipating and meaning to apologize when he yanked me by my collar and pushed me, causing my back to crash into a wall.I writhed in pain, my eyes widening in shock at his seemingly dilated pupils that held unfathomable emotions."Don't ever do that again." He warned, taking long and purposeful strides towards me.The anger I felt dissipated fully and I recoiled backwards, trying to find a way to get out of the mess."Well you shouldn't have driven like that!" I yelled at him, and wished that I hadn't at the same time because he kept coming closer and c
It was difficult to stop the heat of embarrassment from spreading across my face.I blushed lightly as Ruby pulled me through the door and into a room filled with giggling boys."My brother's." She said, "I'm sure you've met them?""Uh." I nodded, taking my mind back to their i***a comments and trying to recall their names. "Yeah. I've met all of them.""Such a sharp brain." One of her brothers looked up. "What's my name then?" He asked.I smirked and rolled my eyes. Was he trying to tease me! Okay. I arched my back."Dustin." I said."Uh-huh!!" He exclaimed. "You looked flustered the first time you came over, and even today too, so I didn't think you'd remember."I blushed lightly. So kind of him to point that out. "Easy peasy." I smiled, giving him the mini heart.He winked at me, laughing. "Is there something about us that makes you flustered?" He raised an eyebrow.At the question, they all raised their eyes to look at me.I raised a finger in the air, brought it down and took it u
"Thanks for having me over." I said to Ruby, a pack of Nana's cookies in my hand. "It's alright. I should be the one thanking you." She replied walking me out of the door. "Why won't you let Skye drop you off?""I'm afraid he's gonna lead me to my early grave." I replied. "My regards to Nana, tell her I had to leave without seeing her, and for you, you don't have to worry about me, you know?"She nodded her head. "Sure. I know you're a wonder woman and you can make everything possible. But the question now is, how are you going to get home?""I'll just book a ride." I brought out my phone for emphasis. "See?'"Don't kid me. I'll ask Skye to take you home."I hurriedly stopped her, by placing my hands on her shoulder. "That's not necessary.""But it's courtesy." She replied. "I can't take you home because I don't have a license, but my brother can and I trust him so much too. Plus, what would I feel like, letting you go like that?"I sighed, giving in. "Alright. But you have to tell
My heart pounded vigorously in my chest with excitement and fear, leading my adrenaline.Was he really going to kiss me? Did he mean it? My heart raced as he killed the engine and turned the ignition key off.Placing an arm around my chair he leaned forward and dipped his head closer to mine. "So what is it going to be, Steyn?" He drawled in my ears.I was certain now that he noticed the rise and fall of my chest and how fast my breath raced out. Saying yes, that I liked the kiss, which in fact was the truth, meant that I won't get to have him kiss me for the second time that day and saying no meant, I wanted him to kiss me again. Which was the truth. But I didn't want him to see me as a cheap and loose girl.Guys like Skye had too many tricks under their sleeves. I shook my head, in an attempt to get rid of the dirty thought I was having.He leaned in closer and closer, so that I could feel his breath on my neck. He dipped his head closer and nuzzled my neck with his nose.The feel
A few minutes after I had gotten inside the house and successfully avoided answering the questions my mum threw at me like a pro, my phone rang. I peeped at the screen and noticed it was a call from Ruby."Hey." I said, answer it."Hey to you too. It took you an eternity to answer your phone." She said curtly."Stop being sarcastic Ruby." I sighed quietly and pushed my hair backwards. "I answered the phone as soon as I heard it ring."She laughed. " I know. Was only teasing you." She giggled with a ring of excitement to her tone. "How are you? Hope you got home safely?" She asked."Yeah. I did. Just got in though. Is Skye home yet?" I asked.She paused, taking a minute to answer. "Funny you would ask about him because that's why I called. Did he do anything to you? Because he came home with this satisfied smirk on his face."I licked my dry lips again. "Do something to me?" I darted my eyes around. "No he didn't. What could he possibly do to me?""See? I didn't do anything to her." S
~SKYE~I had barely entered the room when Ruby accosted me. I scoffed, twirling the car key in my hand."What is it this time?" I asked her."Nothing." She replied. "You're home late, why's that? You took longer than expected.""I just took her home as you requested and drove back. Nothing much.""You didn't yell at her? No nothing, right?" She pressured me.I smirked, just thinking how I had done more than yelling. If only you knew, I thought.I shrugged, pushing my hair backwards. "What do you really want to hear? That something happened?" I pinched her playfully on the cheeks and walked off to sit my ass on a cushion."You're so in a different mood tonight." She peered at me from under her lashes. "I hope you didn't do something to my friend?""Why?" I raised a brow. "You sound like you want me to do something to her.""You scum!" She threw a pillow at me."Yes, dear sister of a scum." I replied teasingly."Wait here, I'm going to call her." She demanded, taking out her phone and p
