Daisy's POVIt was a day before the inter-house sport and we were supposed to do the final practice today, students from each team were gathered on the field, and we would compete against each other, although, it was just a friendly competition, everyone was pumped with adrenaline but I was extremely scared and nervous and my nervousness went top notched when I found out that Celine is running the relay for her team, thank goodness I'm the first runner up for my team, while she's running the finishing for her team, that means, although we're all running the relay, I'm not competing directly against her, that calmed my nerves just a little bit.I know she's smart and good at everything she does but it's important that I beat her in this race if I were up against her, for Aires' sake, I would have to, I had watched her interview the other day when she was asked if she has a boyfriend, she had laughed and left a hint that she likes someone and hopefully, he would be her boyfriend in fut
Daisy's POV"I wasn't running" I replied weakly, he grabbed my arm in an almost painful grip, but just as he opened his mouth to say something, his name was announced to come up for the next phase of the competition, "I'm not done with you" he gritted and walked away.I rubbed my arm and shivered a little, not that the weather is cold or something, it's just that his words left me cold, soon the cheers for him and shouts of his name could be heard all over, he has already scored a goal in less than five minutes as he enters the field, I soon forgot about his threat as I watched him, he is an enigma and sometimes, I wondered if he's human at all, which human being can be this talented in everything?"He's cute huh? You must be dying of admiration for him" Celine said softly beside me, I didn't hear her approach me I would have avoided her, "stay away from him" she warned and I frowned, "why? He's not even your boyfriend" I replied, skeptical, I have always known that Celine has a thing
AIRES' POVCeline rushed towards me, "are you okay?" She asked frantically, Jasmine and mum were also staring at me with a worried look, I nodded at Celine's question, 'I am fine" I replied, standing up, she held my arm to help me up before turning to face Daisy furiously, "you clumsy oof, how dare you take Aires down with you" she fumed, I was angry too but as I turned to also give her a piece of my mind, I saw the blood flowing from her nose and the bruise in her head, I quickly rushed to her, "you're bleeding", Celine stared at me in surprise, "are you kidding me?" She whispered but I paid deaf ears to her, "how can you always be so clumsy? Come with me right now" I gritted, holding her by the arms and leading her to the school clinic.I waited for her until she has been treated by the school nurse, "what were you thinking? How could you be so careless, you are always lost in your imagination" I huffed in frustration when she didn't say anything, I felt pissed with her but at the s
AIRES' POV My heart arched painfully as I stared at the broken pieces on the floor, it wasn't just the broken trophy that got to me, it was my father's action, he was staring at me with so much hate and anger in his eyes and I just couldn't hold back anymore, "why do you hate me so much? Ever since I knew you, you have never given me any fatherly love, what did I do to make you despise me so much?" I wrenched out, my heart torn into pieces, "are you questioning me? You wanna show me that you're now a man huh?" He snarled at me but I was beyond caring, I glared right back, "you know what? I am done trying to prove myself to you because no matter what I do, you still won't look my way, you can go to hell for all I care" I yelled at him and his palm connected with my cheek, my head reeled and my hand formed a fist, I held myself in check to keep from punching him, "you think you are tough huh, you think you're now a man and can challenge me" he clenched out as he brought out his whip, "
[Author's POV]Daisy sat alone at the school canteen, staring at her untouched lunch, she has not been able to swallow the bitter news that her mother is getting married in a few weeks from now, "dad, where are you?" She whispered, she would not be able to forgive her mother, why was she getting remarried anyways? A finger snapped across her face and she blinked, "earth to girl, why are you looking so lost?" Desiree asked as she sat down with her tray of food in front of her, Daisy sighed, she might as well tell her, she needed someone to tell it out to anyways, "my mum is getting married"Desiree arched a brow, "I see that you are not okay with it""Of cause, not Desiree, she is getting married to a total stranger, I don't even know him""You might get to know him eventually, what if he turns out to be nice""I don't care, what if someday my dad returns""Are you kidding me? Your dad has been gone for ages, let's face it, what if your dad actually got divorced and you were not told o
[Author's POV]Aires decided to go home immediately after school, his mind was on Daisy as he opened the door, he pondered in what she said, she envied him because of his dad, she thinks he is that rich and spoilt child of his father, he shook his head, if only she knew, he was about to pull off his uniform when he heard a loud thud, it came from the direction of his father's room, he frowned, he thought he was the only one at home, his dad was supposed to be in his office, his mum in her karaoke shop and Jasmine was still supposed to be at college, so, what the hell was that sound, quietly, he went to where he thought he had heard the sound, and placed his ear on the door, there, he heard it again, a loud thud and groaning this time around, he thought it sounded like the voice of his dad, quickly, he pushed the door opened and his eyes bulged at the sight before him, his father was seated on the floor, with a bottle of alcohol in his hand, his top to middle button was opened and his
Daisy's POVI sighed immediately after I heard the bell for lunch break, I quickly stood up with my lunch bag, I was starving, I hadn't eaten the day before nor did I have any breakfast, and the thought of having to start living with Celine under the same roof in a few weeks from now is enough to make me lose appetite but mum was determined to go ahead with the wedding, she doesn't wanna listen to me, what do I matter to her anyways? She's fixated on getting married and of all the men she chose, it has to be Celine's dad, the thought of it always makes me wanna scream in frustration but as time goes by, I thought long and hard about it and decided that my mother can do whatever she wants, all I have to do is to study hard and if I do well enough, I just might be able to get into college sooner than I ought to, I will choose a college that is very far from home and once I gain admission, I will never show my face to my mother ever again.I sighed, bringing out my lunch box from my lunc
Aires POVWe were having dinner, just Jasmine, mum, and I, as usual, dad was not around, although, I didn't feel like eating, I struggled to make the mashed potatoes mum had prepared to pass my throat, I didn't want her to feel bad or worry unnecessarily, I was about to swallow my third spoon of the potatoes when dad entered, a different kind of air immediately filled the room, a tensed and uncomfortable environment, he paused and stared at us and then his eyes zeroed on me and immediately darkened in anger, I knew that I was going to get it hot from him today as soon as our school principal had decided to call him earlier, I braced myself for the backlash that will soon be bequeathed to me, slowly, I stood up from the table and stared straight at him, willing him to hit me so that we can get it over with, my mum stood up along with Jasmine, all three of us stood facing him, his nostrils flare as he stared at me,"Aires, go inside" my mum instructed me, trying her best to deflate the
