Chapter 11 : Homecoming Charlotte's POV “Maya Maya!!!!” I ran after Maya with my pink purse in my arm while reapplying my lipgloss for the hundredth time this morning.It was a girls day out and my mum decided that me and Maya go to cilantro, a fancy restaurant downtown . Not like a girls day out was me and Maya's thing but my mum caters for the fancy restaurant and their employees were given holidays vouchers or gift cards, whatever it's called. Mum isn't a party kind of fancy restaurant kind of person, it's still surprising how she was able to land a job at that fancy restaurant.Fancy restaurants and cliche love stories are my kind of thing.“ Girl you made me wait” her cheeks were red literally maybe she was angry with me or she applied too much blush but I'll stick with the blush idea.Come to think of it, Maya 's cheeks were so plump and chubby. I wonder how I've never noticed it till now.“ Did I tell you my dog died” I was so bad at lying cause tell me why It took thirty s

CHAPTER 10 : in sync CHARLOTTE'S POVMy head was clouded with so many thoughts as I walked down the stairs leading to the exit.I wasn't supposed to feel guilt for kissing Max, I was supposed to enjoy every last minute of it because he's my boyfriend. But why did I feel like I was cheating?He laughed at something on his phone, oblivious to how my chest felt tight. My hand brushed against his as I reached for a door knob… and then I froze.Why was this so hard?____________________________________A loud bang on the door causes me to wake up and roll flat on my soft rug.I was supposed to be back home by midnight, but because of the situation that happened yesterday, I had to sneak back into my room by 2 AM in the morning.I barely had enough sleep and I had a very bad ache. Flashes of me and Max kissing clouded my head, but the sound of my mum screaming from the kitchen shoved the thought right out of my mind.“I’ll be done in a bit!” I shouted back, rubbing my face.Does today real

Charlotte's Pov The game finished by exactly 11 and the whole school was shocked. We did expect to beat the other team but the scores were so astonishing 5-1.After the game Max walked up behind me and hugged me tightly with his sweating arms. I hugged him excitedly, not minding the sweat on his body.His eyes trailed down to my lips and his fingers moved upwards to my waist “Charl, I know I haven't been the best boyfriend, but let's change it tonight and let's celebrate because I've missed you, “ I've missed your soft lips and everything about you”My heart began to pound heavily, I know he was just excited from his game and he was vomiting whatever nonsense came to his mind but I was ovulating and his words made my inside watery and I stopped thinking.I turned around and looked at him, my eyes moving from his eyes down to his lips and all I wanted to do was just……“Alright over stimulating teenagers, let's go before I vomit” Maya's voice sounded a little more serious than playfu

CHAPTER 8 : Real Friends Charlotte's POV“Charlotte, do you like it ?” Maya's voice echoed in the room and snaps me back to reality.“I love you so much Maya, thank you for always being my friend’Maya chuckles a little confused by the expression on emotions “I love you too Charlotte” Oh shit it's almost 10, I grabbed my phone from beside me staring at the time“ Do we really have to go now, I was beginning to enjoy this new emotional Charlotte” she kicks her feet in the air giving me a very shipish smile.“Get your ass up, I need a good sit to watch the game”. I obviously did not care about the game, I don't even like football, the way the boys are always sweating or falling and injuries just gives me the ick. I just need a little distraction to get my mind off Sophie.I haven't texted Sophie back, shit. I don't even know if she cares, she hasn't sent any new messages apart from the two she sent the last time. She's probably busy confessing her love to every boy and girl she meets

Chapter 7: Me Against MyselfCharlotte's POV I sprinted out of the class as fast as I could, debating if I should delete the dating app.How could she say something like that and feel nothing. Hundreds and thousands of thoughts ran through my mind and I was about to just scream when Charles walked up behind me and tapped my back.“Charlotte, are you coming to watch the game tonight”What game? I hope it's not another game of truth or dare cause I officially hate truth or dare actually I hate all games and I strongly believe the government should ban or at least create some kind of restrictions on games.“Umm what game exactly?”“ Didn't Max tell you” “ Bridgehall academy is playing their first ever homecoming game and it's tonight” I could see the excitement written all over his face with the way he displayed his 36 teeth, maybe just 26 if you counted it from his tiny mouth.“Homecoming?” I raised an eyebrow “ Yes, Charlotte, I really think you should come, it's a distraction fro

CHAPTER 6: A dare that dared meSophie's Pov :Sometimes, you have to wake up and decide you don’t like the peace on the planet.The silence that followed my statement told me everything.I felt the damage ripple through the room before anyone even spoke. The sharp inhale, the way people froze like they’d been caught watching something they weren’t supposed to see.As the new girl, everyone assumes you’ll play nice and smile. Say the expected thing. Let them decide who you are before you open your mouth.I don’t do that.If they wanted something to talk about, I figured I might as well give it to them.It reminded me of fourth grade, when I first changed schools.My dad was already in prison by then, and everyone else knew it before they knew my name.All I wanted was to disappear. Not dramatically. Just enough that no one would ask questions.That morning, my mum braided my hair so tightly that it pulled my scalp, as if she was trying to hold me together with her hands. I didn’t comp
