I knocked on the door and waited outside to hear an answer. It was almost evening, and I had changed into my sweats, deciding to stay in for the rest of the day.“Come in,” My father said from the inside. I opened the door, walked in, and closed it behind me. My father smiled as he looked at me. He had a paper in his hand, and glasses on his nose, through which he was reading whatever.“I hope I didn’t disturb you?” She asked him, approaching the sofa he was sitting on.“No, My dear, how would you ever do that?” He asked, smiling. Gosh, I came here to complain but he is in such a good mood. Maybe I should try a different approach.“About today,” I said settling onto the sofa with crossed legs, “I was wondering if we could shift back to the large number of guards that stayed outside my school, rather than one roaming inside?”“And why is that?” He asked, looking at his paper.“… because it’s annoying, I mean why would you request to let him in, every thing was going well. I was taking

As I sat in the car, I felt my stomach clench. I was hungry, and I was tired of my room last night. I spent quite a few days in there and now that I have a guard following me around and my mind rushing with all the cons of it. It was time for experiencing the pros. So, I texted my dear friends if they would like to join me for lunch. No one seemed interested at first, So I texted them with ‘Mason will be joining us too,’ This resulted in me a ton of messages from each one of them and we were on to deciding where to go. I wanted some Gourmet meals so we decided on french dine in. I asked the driver to turn the car to the decided restaurant. “You have your father’s permission?” Mason asked when I finished. “I don’t need it,” I said, “I need permission only when I’m out past 10, before that I can go to Valdez and back with no issue,” I told him. He nodded his head. Half an hour later, I was standing outside the restaurant calling every one of them with the answer of them being on t

I was at my desk, my hands roaming around my notepad, filling out a mindmap for my presentation. I had my laptop in front of me, shining its light on my face. I adjusted my glasses on my nose and looked at my phone that just chimed."Hey, Ella. I was wondering if you have the notes from today's 'From molecules to cell class'?"Justin just texted me for notes. He was in class. He was sitting right behind me."Don't you have it?" I texted back, "You were in class?"Five minutes later, He text back with an emoticon hiding his face, "I was distracted in class," He texted."Yeah...Bianca was looking pretty," I replied smiling by myself."I have many other distractions than Bianca," He said."Like what?" I asked.There was another silence of a few minutes when my phone chimed again."Like the shade of your hair and the light reflecting from it, making them more beautiful," He texted with a wink emoticon.I froze for a moment at reading his text. Then I read it again. This seemed to flirt wi

My feet and back were hurting after all the walking we did. It had been almost two hours and we had only covered three shops. Amy was checking out the prices for some bags she liked for herself and I was more than done with shopping.I was hungry, and tired, both mentally and physically. A sinister enough plan roams in my mind for a while. What can go wrong if I sneak out? I can tell Amy I got lost. And it won’t be much of a lie because I am losing my mind. I run my eyes around the store. Amy focused on the shop helper and My dear bodyguard focused on his book. I slowly walk to the end of the store, switching my gaze between both of them.Slowly, I walk outside and just a bit walking to the right, I sprint. I take the first left and slow down. I hear a voice behind me, “Stop,”I do stop and look behind. It was Mason. My eyes widen looking at him. He was a few feet away from me. Instinctively, I turn around and start running in whatever direction.“Hey, wait!” I hear but do not stop. I

Just as I reached Amy holding onto the crop top, I heard footsteps behind me and turned to look at Mason.“Your father called, he needs you home,” He said looking down at me.“Now?” I asked. He nodded his head once.“Amy… I think-““Yes, I understand,” She said, “Also We were done I guess,” She said and I sighed. I smiled at her. A part of me knew Mason was lying and I felt guilty for it. But I was far more tired and she seemed too involved in the whole shopping idea I didn’t want to ruin it for her by saying I am bored.Also, It was part truth. Father would want me home by now. Also, there is a party I need to show up at....Mason opened the door for me and I got out, mumbling thanks to him.“I need to go to a party today at night,” I told him so I don’t mess up his schedule of going home and sleeping peacefully.He nodded his head Yes. I walked a couple of steps and stopped turning around at him.“You should get ready too,” I told him. He raised his brow at me in question.“I mea

“I thought you didn’t like to be touched,” I asked. His eyes moved from my lips to my face. I was quick enough to release a breath.“I don’t like to be touched when I don’t want to,” He said.“And You want to be touched by me?” Not sure what came over when my mouth uttered this, making his eyes move back to my lips.“You have your hands around my neck,” He says, “So, I guess I don’t mind,” He frowned slowly uttering the words. I saw him gulping and his jaw tensed. I felt every atom in the air around us heavy with the tension between us. All of these atoms weigh me down making it hard to breathe. And now with his forehead creased, and mouth in a tight line, I knew he felt the same.I realized we had stopped swaying to the music long ago, and I backed away. It was a defense instinct, knowing if I didn’t support away I would kiss him. And then I would regret it all life long. His one hand still in my hand, and the other in mid-air. I felt the cold where his hand was on my waist, and I wa

His blue eyes were looking into my brown ones. A smile erupts on his features, making my heart melt even more.“What the hell is going on here?” A shrill voice makes me look away from Justin to a woman a few feet away. My eyes adjust under the alcohol and I recognize her. Bianca!The sight of her and all the alcohol clears my head. I just kissed her boyfriend. I just kissed Justin. Shit!Bianca has her eyes on me, as she comes forward. The hurt and shock in her eyes were as clear as crystal, making a shred pass through my heart. No matter our differences, I never wanted to hurt her, not in this way. By getting no response from my drunk and shocked self, she shifts her gaze from me to Justin.Her eyes are questioning, and teary. “Justin?” She asks. Her voice makes another shred tear my heart.“It’s not what you-,” Justin begins.“Think? Oh common. At least give me enough respect not using the most cliched line on this planet. What is it hmm?” She asks. “Alcohol filled her lungs and you

They were on their way to her home but as the car got closer to her home, her heart sank more and more. She didn’t want to go to her room alone, curled up on her bed trying to sleep with the day roaming in her mind. She needed an escape, only if it was for a few minutes. She needed some calm, some peace. She needed some cool air hitting her face, removing all her worries. I don’t know if her vessel was full, or if it was just the alcohol talking but she wanted to cry. She didn’t cry, she hated crying. “I want to…,” She settled in her seat. “I want to go to the ocean,” She said. “It’s late at night,” Mason says lightly. “That is why you are here,” She said. The car turned to the direction of the ocean and she sighed in relief, rolling down her window and placing her head on the side of her seat. Soon enough, the salty air of the air hit her breath and tickled her nose. In front of her was the Pacific in its glory. The moon’s gentle glow casts a silvery light on the water, illumin

It was almost midnight when he received a call from Mr. Vitale asking where they were at this hour of the night and he told him about their trip to the ocean. Arthur asked for a return home as early as possible and cut the call.Mason sighed and looked down at the girl sleeping with her head against his arm. They had been like this for more than an hour and for some reason, he wanted this to last longer. But another reason told him to push her away. She was calm, opposite to what she was an hour ago. His heart made a tiny jump at the glance of this beauty by his side. She had a chubby face, her cheek rolled in front as it rested on his arm, making her lips slightly parted from each other. Her hair, flowing lightly with the wind at the edges, tingled his arm.Mason hated when people touched him. It was for him, invading his personal space not when he wanted them to. He wasn’t comfortable with people altogether. But he didn’t seem to mind her doing that. He seems to allow it for her.Hu

I groan as my body starts feeling weird uncommon sensations. I feel like my body is on fire, a hot prickly sensation all over my skin. My hand moves to my head, feeling the ache worsen in my muscles and head. I try to open my eyes, and they feel sensitive to the light penetrating through the window. I turn and peel open my eyes. My throat feels constricted and dry.I search for the glass of water on my nightstand but none. My head spins and my body burns. I have a fever, I’m not too fond of fevers.I trace the call button on my nightstand and press it a few times. I wait a few minutes and my door knocks. I say a weak yes, and Madam Rosella opens the door, stepping in.“Oh, dear!” She says when she walks closer to me.“I think I have a fever,” I tell her.“My dear, but you rarely get such diseases,” She tells me before placing her hand on my forehead and checking my temperature.“My, My, you have a fever,” She tells me, and even in my pounding headache I gave her the look of ‘that’s wh
