Alex was shocked. He didn't expect that she would not catch the ball. Now that her body was trembling a little, he was greatly worried.
"You were supposed to catch the ball" Alex said, squating in front of her and using his handkerchief to wipe off the blood.
Strangely, her trembling body became calm at his touch.
"I never knew you would throw it back" She said in an annoyed tone.
"Says a dumbass who throws a ball and doesn't prepare to catch" he said sarcastically, making her more pissed.
She pushed him angrily, but he tugged at her arms so they fell to the floor together, her whole body resting on his.
A gasp escaped her lips. She could feel his heart beating fast, her heart was beating fast as well.
Again, her eyes bored into his and she could not help but look deep into his eyes like she was trying to get answers from th
"This is so disgusting" Henry complained as he mopped the floor. Alex had been quiet all along.Henry felt uncomfortable about the silence and so, he stopped mopping and turned to Alex.Gazing at him, he battled with his thoughts. What exactly was he going to say to him? He had been such a jerk for not believing Alex, but he wasn't ready to apologize either because it was not entirely his fault and he still didn't believe that Alex had nothing to do with it."I hate people staring" said Alex in a cold voice. He had stopped mopping and he stood, supporting himself with the mop stick."Look, I know I've been a jerk. I'm sorry okay. Can't we just go back to the way we were? I'm tired of this enimity" said Henry in one breath. His heart beat increased as he waited anxiously for Alex to say something."That is so easy for to say right? I'm not interested in anything you have
"It's a long story" Annabelle said."Then cute it short" Ashley cut in impatiently.Annabelle gestured Ashley to come closer."They fought because of a girl. She disappeared and Henry blamed Alex for it" She whispered in Ashley's ear."What? Because of a girl? She disappeared?" Ashley exclaimed loudly."Shhh" Annabelle placed a finger on her lips.Now, Ashley wanted to ask her so many questions, but she was back to reading her book.Somehow, Ashley felt bad for both Henry and Alex. It was kind of pathetic. Lying on her bed, she grabbed her pillow and squeezed it.Her curiosity was eating her up. She wanted to know exactly what happened. She was tempted to ask Claire or Monica about it, but she cautioned herself.With the corners of her eyes, Annabelle watched Ashley toss restlessl
The rays of the bright morning sun seeped through the window, lighting up the room in a somewhat golden color.It was Friday. After taking her bath, Ashley put a pink track suit and a black baseball boot.There was a soft knock on the door. Standing close to the door, Ashley flung it open and a young lady strolled in with their breakfast."Breakfast is here" She called everyone's attention in a cheerful manner.The scent of freshly made toast and hot Coffee filled the air. The girls ate breakfast silently.Ashley's life at Lac international school had been kinda peaceful for the past few days except that Charles wouldn't stop getting on her nerves.She had gotten somewhat closer with Henry and Annabelle and Alex still acted like a jerk. Claire had been so moody, sometimes, Ashley couldn't help but think that she was on her period.But there was something bothering Ashley. Something she couldn't point out
She looked weird. She looked really weird to Ashley."Hi" The girl waved, a sweet smile curled on her lips.Hesitating a bit, Ashley waved back at her. She had never seen this girl before since she got to Lac international school."You seem lost. Are you going to the field?" Asked the girl in a sweet manner and Ashley couldn't help but think that her voice sounded angelic. She nodded her head in affirmation."You're on the wrong path. The field is this way" the girl gestured to the right."Oh" Ashley mouthed. She had indeed taken a wrong turn. As Ashley made to leave, The girl's voice stopped her."I'm heading to the field too, I can lead you there" the girl offered. Ashley looked at her with doubts in her eyes."Alright. Lead the way" Ashley said reluctantly.As they walked, Ashley felt more and more uncomfortable."I'm Elizabeth" The girl broke the silence between them.&n
He leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "I want Ashley".Claire could feel the heat of his breath on her skin. She gulped, her body trembling a little."So w.... what.. d... do... I... have.... to.. do... to do.... with that?" She stuttered helplessly."What do you have to do?" He smirked."Well, you have to bring her to me tonight"."What? Tonight? W…..Wh.... Why?"He leaned closer still and whispered in her ear, "Because………. ""I will. I will. I will bring her tonight" She cut him short. She knew what he was about to say and she didn't want to hear it. That was just how helpless she felt.At the moment, she was regretting why she went out that night. Just if she had stayed in the dorm, just if she had slept peacefully without thinking about him, she wouldn't have been in this kind of situation."Now aren't you a good girl" He stroked her hair with a smirk on
Just then, the door cracked open and Henry strolled in.As soon as Alex set his eyes on Henry, he gradually tightened his fist and all he could think of at the moment was Henry's betrayal. Looking at him, all he wanted to do was to pin him against the wall and probably punch him in the stomach but again he held it in.Ashley looked from Henry to Alex and from Alex to Henry. The atmosphere was getting tensed as neither of them said anything, not even a word.Clearing her throat, Ashley spoke."I heard you guys were bestfriends" She stated as a matter of fact."Did something happen between you two?" She asked. Of course, Annabelle had told her they fought because of a girl. Even though she tried asking Henry a couple of times, he just won't tell. She wanted to know the details and here was her opportunity."Forget it" Said Henry as he slowly lowered his butt to the floor beside Ashley."Forget it? It's so e
As Ashley made her way to the school premises in the dark, it was awfully silent. The crescent moon hid between the clouds. The air was chilly, Ashley could feel goose bumps on her skin.She regretted not putting on her hoodie but she had gone too far to turn back. She didn't know exactly where she was supposed to meet Elizabeth.She was now in the hallway and it was darker than ever. She wondered why the lights were not on. She brought out her phone from her bag so that she could at least use the flashlight on her phone to see but something made her stop.The sound of approaching footsteps made her freeze on the spot. Could it be Elizabeth? Or was it someone else?With trembling hands, she unlocked her phone and quickly turned on the flash light. The flashlight illuminated the hallway a little but there was no one there.'What the hell? I'm sure I heard footsteps. Was I Mistakened? Is the person hiding?' She thought,
"Wake up Ash, it's 10am already" Anabelle tapped Ashley's leg to wake her up.Ashley stirred and mumbled something Annabelle couldn't make out."Ashley" She moved closer to her, grabbed her shoulders and shook her."Hmm" Ashley mumbled and her eyes opened slowly. The brightness of the room made her squint her eyes. She yawned loudly, stretched her arms and then rubbed her eyes."I thought you were dead" Anabelle teased and chuckled.Ashley groaned and held her head."What? Are you sick?" She asked, putting her hand on Ashley's forehead."No, my head hurts" Ashley replied slowly pushing Annabelle's hand away from her forehead.She looked around the room and her eyes locked with Claire's who quickly removed her gaze and focused all her attention on her phone.Monica strolled out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body."I thought you were never going
