Valentina’s P.O.VThe best I could do was run around on the field, there was nothing else to do, and no one would pass the ball to me. Either way, Mr. Colt promised to fail me if I didn’t participate in the games, I haven’t been participating in a long time, but running around like this should work.“Valentina!” Mr. Colt yelled again and I felt my heart rate increased. “You should run in the direction of the ball and not away from it.”Oh God! I rushed toward Valerie who had the ball in her hands, but I didn’t make any attempt to take it from her or anything.“I tell you, I’m terrible at sports,” I complained to Mr. Colt who was already determined to end my sporting career before it even started. “I did my best.”“I know but it wasn’t enough.” He yelled at me again and I cringed. “I’ll give you one last chance if you practice with the others.”“Tch!” I sighed in exasperation, and I walked away from him going back to the field, where the rest of the students were having the time of the

Valentina’s P.O.V I never knew I could cry so much, especially in front of Ethan, I wasn’t expecting him to take me seriously but he did otherwise. I bit my fingers in frustration as I regretted my decision to snap at him, he must thought I was a weirdo, I could recall vividly the shocked expression on his face while I bawled my eyes out. When did I suddenly start caring about what he thinks about me? I scolded myself, hitting myself on the head repeatedly, I’m such an idiot, that bastard assaulted me and he was in the middle of assaulting me, it’s not my fault I reacted in the way I should. I told him to stop countless times, but he kept forcing himself on me, so it was natural I got mad, if anything he is the weirdo. I didn’t have any money, Norah stole my money while I was unconscious, I walked to school, and now since I don’t have the bus fare, I was walking to the pizza shop for my part-time job, and at this rate, I’m going to be late.I have finally resolved within myself

Ethan’s P.O.V “Is the soup not to your liking?” Junis’ curious voice tore me out of my train of thought, I glanced at the already cold soup, I stopped twirling the spoon around the soup, and a small frown crawled up to my face. “Is it bad?” “Junis,” I called him tapping on the table, he stared down at me, he nodded understanding the assignment and he pulled out a chair for himself. “This old man probably has no reasonable answers to your question, but I could render you the services of lending a listening ear.” I scoffed this old man thinks too highly of himself but he is the closest thing to a father for me. “What would you like to ask?” “Is it possible for a girl who hates me to stop hating me?” I was a bit open about my question because I trusted him enough to seal his lips. “If you are talking about Miss Chandler then I’m afraid, it is going to be a difficult task,” I felt my heart sink at the opinion, I knew that much but hearing it from Junis made me feel even worse. “I’ve s

Valentina’s P.O.V I heard we would be going on a school trip during the weekends, our class would be traveling on one of Mr. Lord's expensive super Yachts for sightseeing and I also heard we would be stopping at Kiwi Resort and Island. It sounds like so much fun and I would love to go but all students are required to pay a fee, the fee is something I can’t afford, so I won’t be going. I picked my books in my bag and rested my head on my desk, I have a brain-splitting headache, probably got it from crying too much last night. “I heard Valentina won’t be going on the trip.” I heard Lucille’s voice, I rolled my eyes, and I wasn’t in the mood today. “I guess that’s what happens when you come from such a laughable background.” I heard laughs from everyone, but it didn’t matter to me anymore, I will be submitting the letter on Monday and I will be leaving here. The thought of withdrawing from the school gives me so much peace, it was almost as if a boulder was lifted off my shoulders.

Valentina’s P.O.V Just as soon as I successfully avoided Ethan I bumped into Travis on my way back in, a small scream escaped my parted lips as I was about to crash into the flooring, he grabbed my arms and steadied me. Ever since that day, I hadn’t met Travis alone like this, and since we were the only ones here, I think this is the best time to apologize to him. “Travis…” I called but he had already begun to walk away from me, nevertheless, I went after him. “Travis, please wait.” “Is there anything you would like to say to me?” He sounded a bit distant, it was not the usual Travis. “If there isn’t anything then I will take my leave.” I held his arm tightly in my hands, stopping him again, I had already decided to apologize to him. “Just two minutes, please give me two minutes of your time,” I begged and he reluctantly stood to give me an audience. I heaved a sigh of relief, I have to be done with this. “First I want to thank you for allowing me to attend the school trip.” H
