Breathe in. Breathe out. Don't care about anything or anyone. Ignore people's stares. Pretend as if you weren't aware that their eyes were digging holes in your body. Act like a queen. I kept mumbling those words to myself, wrapping my arms around myself. I was wearing a hoodie. Well, Romeo's hoodie. The one he gave me the other night. I didn't know why I chose to wear it. Perhaps, I just wanted to feel his presence with me. I felt safe like he was with me. Today was warm yet I still felt cold. It probably has to do with the fact that my mother was pissed off with me. I hated when she is mad. The cold shoulders she was giving me were really depressing. I have gotten myself a job already. Damn! I really despised working for Freya. Now, I will work for a month. I bet I should be the saddest person in the world right now. I noticed two girls behind me staring intensely at me. I should better brace myself for whatever is going to come. Surely, they were about to talk about me and my
No! This was wrong. All shades of wrong. I used all the strength I gained from eating Joey's meal to push Xander. I gazed at him, my lips were trembling."Why did you kiss me, Xander? I have a boyfriend. What if Romeo or anyone walks in?" I rambled.Xander's eyelids dropped. He was avoiding my eye contact. "I. . I don't know. I am sorry, I guess." He blurted out. I felt a rush of anger through me. I wished I could land a slap on one of his cheeks. I shook my head in disbelief."I guess? I didn't expect this from you," I snapped at him. I glanced at him for the last time and ran out of the gym center, before anyone could walk in and began wondering what happened between us. I didn't want any form of scandal. God! What just happened? It felt like a bad dream. Could this be termed as "cheating"? But, I didn't kiss Xander. I wasn't in the gym center because of him. He was the one who kissed me. I didn't expect him to kiss me. I thought he wanted to talk to me or something. I felt
"Nonsense. Evil witch. Idiot. Shameless human being." I mumbled those insultive words as I arranged what Sharon ordered on the serving tray. Sharon was a bitch. I was not a fan of cuss words. But, I had to say that. Sharon was a shameless bitch. I didn't know her freaking surname, I would have added it to her name. What game was she playing with me? I grabbed a chilled yoghurt from the freezer. I couldn't help the thought. I felt like emptying the entire content of the yoghurt on her head. Maybe, she would come to her right senses and quit that stupid thought of blackmailing me. "I want Joey's boyfriend. Jake. " Her words kept replaying in my head. I couldn't forget her facial expressions, as she uttered out the stupid words. The way she swept up her fake eyelashes with a cocky grin on her ugly face. Would it be okay to say she disgusts me? Sharon was so stupid. She even knew that Jake was in a relationship with Joey, yet she wanted him. Who the heck had the audacity to pull tha
"Ivy!" Romeo called my name, jerking me out of my train of thoughts. I flinched. His voice resounded in my head. I was still trying to recover from the panic attack Sharon almost gave me. A line appeared between my brows. I spun to look at my boyfriend."Why did you yell my name?" I asked."Because I've been calling your name for a while." He replied. "I didn't hear you, I guess." I said gently. Romeo flung one of his arms around my shoulder and placed his hand on my thigh."You seem lost. What's wrong with you?" He questioned me. I lifted my shoulder in a half shrug. "Nothing. I'm okay." I answered."When did you and Sharon become friends?" Romeo whispered into my ears. His breath was attacking my ears, it was tickling me. I swallowed a gulp down my throat. I wasn't surprised that Romeo asked this question. I knew he would ask about the reason Sharon talked to me. "First of all, we aren't friends. She only came here to tell me about a movie. That is all." I answered him, hopin
"Look, it is almost 8pm. Mom will go to her workplace. Better tell her about the party, before it is too late."I re-read the text I was about to send to my best friend, Joey. I clicked on "send" when I was satisfied with the content of the text. Joey's phone beeped instantly. I jerked my head toward the direction she was sitting, waiting for her to look at me. Her gaze was fixed on her phone for a while, before she looked up. I knew she was reading the text.Joey shot me a glare, giving me a sign that she was nervous. Well, she was nervous about talking to my mom. I have never seen my friend like this before, except when she was crushing on boyfriend. It was her plan, anyway. She should be the one to execute the plan. It was Friday night. The weekend I've been looking forward to. Not because of the party organized by Romeo's football teammates. This week has been so stressful and filled with a lot of drama. I deserve a rest.So, the night party will take place tonight. Initially,
I nibbled on my bottom lip."Romeo." I called out his name in a whisper.I met my boyfriend's gaze. My honey brown eyes locking with a pair of beautiful forest green eyes.My hands tightened into fists, as I looked into his eyes. My tongue was tied, I couldn't mutter anything anymore. "Why are you holding my girl?"Romeo's voice resounded in my head. His words came out deep and high pitched. He sounded so cold. Was he already pissed off about the kiss?Xander instantly released his grip on my wrist."Take it easy. You don't have to shout." He muttered under his breath. Romeo threw him a deadly glare."I don't want you to touch her anymore or even talk to her." He warned him. "What if I do? Mind you, I've kissed her. Tell me, what's the point?" Xander blurted out and walked out of our presence, before his words could sink into our memory. "You shared a kiss with Xander, right?" Romeo asked, picking his words one after the other. My eyelids dropped. I have landed myself in trouble. I
As if on a cue, almost everyone turned to stare at me. I didn't care or feel bothered about their intense gaze. I knew they wanted to check my reaction about what just happened. But, I didn't give a damn about them. I gave a damn about what just happened though.My gaze was fixed on my boyfriend's. He didn't meet my gaze. He didn't stare at my direction at all. It felt like he was deliberately avoiding my gaze.I swallowed hard. Could it be that I was daydreaming? How could my boyfriend kiss a girl, especially when I'm here? I wasn't daydreaming. My boyfriend just committed a sin. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Khloe grinning from ear to ear. One of her friends whispered something into her ears and she giggled. Her giggles were annoying. She sounded horrible. Not because I was pissed off and jealous, but she really had a bad voice.Most of the girls must be very happy right now. They would be thinking of how to mock me and spread the news around the school. This should be a
I rolled my eyes at Romeo, getting back to my previous position. I sat on the top of the closet. It was stupid, arguing with him while I was standing.Romeo threaded a hand through his jet black hair, turning to face the mirror in the restroom."I don't know why girls are like this. Insatiable creatures. You have a guy who loves you with all his heart, yet you still cheat on him with a dïckhead. Why don't you tell me the reason you kissed Xander Cullen?" He barked.I hissed."Maybe, you should tell me the reason you jumped to the conclusion that I kissed Xander. Do you think I am Romeo Sparks? Romeo Sparks, the man whore." I retorted. "You shouldn't have kissed Xander." He muttered, picking his words one after the other."Honestly, you shouldn't have done that. Is there something you're not telling me? Do you love him or what?""I don't love Xander Cullen. Is it possible to love two guys at the same time?" I bombarded him with questions, filled with frustrations. "Of course. Don't you
