"Hey." He said and waved casually while I was busy gaping at him in disbelief.
What the hell is he doing here!? "You!" I screamed. I didn’t bother to hide the tone in my voice that was laced with fury.
"Me!" He repeated cheerfully and batted his eyelashes at me like a little girl peering at her doll.
That gesture alone set my mood into a blazing ball of anger. I marched over to him in rage. I looked at the door lines and breathed out a sigh of relief when he hadn’t entered. For a moment, I feared that he might have been invited in by my dad, but that was thankfully not the case. "The hell are you doing here? Get out!"
"I haven't been in your house yet." He countered with a sly smirk.
"Then get the hell
Al watched me closely, and he started to laugh. "Angel, don't be too concerned about it. I will never harm or kill you. After all, you are my girl. But I'm afraid I can't make the same commitment to your parents. If I were you, I'd be a good girl, so they might survive the night. And the first step to that is by accepting this." He handed me the necklace again. "I want you to wear it." He commanded and placed the chain on my open palm. His brow furrowed when I didn't attempt to wear it.I closed my hands over the stupid necklace and clasped the chain around my neck. The smiley face emoji charm felt cold as it touched my bare skin. I hate it. Especially its mocking smile. He was doing this on purpose."Looks good on you. If only you could smile, though, which you couldn't. This charm should do the trick." Then he threw his head back and laughed again.
The following day my mom and dad kept interrogating me about the broken window, which I couldn't tell them was caused by their favorite boy - Al."Mom, I already told you," I said.My mom placed a hand on her hips. "You think your story about an idiotic bird running through your window would convince anyone?"I forked on my eggs with much force as I could. I thought about stabbing Al later when I see him."Respect your eggs, young lady. It's all where we come from." Said my dad at the end of the table.This is freaking annoying. If they only knew who caused that broken window!I mean, I can't just tell them, ‘Hey, remember that stupidly pretend nice guy Al? Yeah him. He brok
"Err....." I looked awkwardly to the side to avoid the new kid’s gaze. What does he want from me? He was giving me an intense look that made me feel uncomfortable in my seat."Gabriella." He says.I was surprised and yet curious about how he knew my name that I stuttered. "W-What?" Maybe I was just hearing things. No way can he know my name. Unless he asked someone about it."The killer smile. I am looking for a girl named Gabriella the killer smile." He saidI stared at him. I was trying to figure out if he was serious. But one look on his face, he is."I asked almost everyone in this room where I could find this Gabriella girl and they all pointed in your direction. I assume that you know who she is?" He raised
Run, Gabriella, run! Run as fast as those little legs can. I screamed in my head, willing myself to put as much distance to myself and those weirdos. My heart pounded fast in my chest. Adrenaline pushing me forward until I reach my house.I hastily got my keys out and opened the door, got in, and locked it behind me. Only then was I able to relax. “Home.....safe....” I breathed out. “I hope I lost them.”“I believe so. With my punch and how fast you ran, I doubt that he was able to follow us.”“Hm...yeah, I did run really fast,” I said, feeling proud of myself as I laughed. Only when I heard another laugh did I realize I wasn’t alone.With a gasp, I quickly spun and saw
My dad gave me a curious look. "Why do you always get rich guys to court you?" He wondered out loud.Rich guys? I wondered. And then it took me a while to remember that Al told them a lie that he was loaded with cash.I jerked my thumb at Al. "Actually, he's broke-" Before I could finish, Prick covered my mouth with his hand."Filthy rich!" Al yelled loud enough that it drowned out what I was saying.“I accept Tyrelle as my daughter's admirer.” My mom suddenly declared, making me aware that the other guy was still here. “Aelfric and Tyrelle, I insist you both join us for dinner. I will cook a feast.”Tyrelle offered them a thankful small bow while Al beamed happily. At this point, you can t
I never thought that helping one guy would change my life forever. I know that it isn't the best thing to say, but I really regret helping that boy back at the alley.And by ‘boy,’ I meant Al. I swear, that guy has caused me nothing but trouble. And what’s worse is that there are two of them now."Gabby, don't forget to text us if you're running late!" Just as I went out of the house, my mother cried out from behind me. It's only because we had two guys as visitors the day before that she believes I'd start dating one of them.Am I suppose to get used to this from now on?When I got close to the bus stop, I noticed a car parked in front of our house. Tyrelle was staring at me through the rolled-down car window. "Gabriella, the killer smile, climb in."
Lunchtime came, and Tyrelle waited outside the door of my last class. The guy was too good looking for his own good that students kept looking at him as they passed by.The class had two doors, and since I didn’t want to be seen by him, I used the other exit.I smirked. That stupid mutt didn't think this through. No way will I eat out with him! I just want both of them to stay away from me.Someone suddenly tugged my ponytail, and I yelped in response. “Where do you think you're going?”I turned and glared at Tyrelle. “What?” I snapped. “Why’d you do that for? That hurts.”“You promised that we would go out for lunch.” His tone of voice was challenging and dema
"Are we there yet?" I asked for the nth time. We have been driving for a while now and I was getting bored. I was pretty sure I was already late for class, so I made no further effort to return. There's no point in that because I'm convinced they won't even let me go if I ask politely.With each passing time, the driver seemed more and more irritated with me. I suppose the only reason they haven't snapped at me is that I am important to them. But I did discover something significant. I'm aware that these guys are affiliated with Tyrelle. I mean, I did hear the name Gawen mentioned."We are almost there, Lady Killer Smile." One of the men said.That too. The way they address me is a given hint that they are with Tyrelle.I swear. If I get my hands on that scheming a
