Annie's P.O.V

The weekend passed by really slowly. At least I had seen my mum, and she looked so stressed. I had only seen her once throughout the weekend, as she was in her room the entire time.

It was Monday now. I was off to school, and this time, I didn't stay long at mum 2's house, as I only grabbed a lunch pack, kissed her goodbye and hurried off. She was filling that void that my mum is leaving since she started working.

On getting to school, I found Bryan seated on his special bench, with his friends, and they were talking and laughing. I walked up to them with confidence. Maybe, the confidence was as a result of Bryan telling me that he likes me, or was it something else? Who knows?

“Hey". I said to his friends, then fixed my eyes on him. ”Bry, can we talk?". I asked.

The look he gave me was quite unsettling, yet I remained there, waiting for his response. His friends were looking at him. I know that look.

They were probably wondering what a girl like me would w

  • Becoming Hotter   Connection

    Annie's P.O.VI yanked my phone from my jacket pocket with shaky fingers, my screen slick with sweat, my breathing heaving and unsteady. I didn’t even hesitate—my thumb hovered over Bryan’s name, and I hit send.Annie: Hey, are you home?He replied almost instantly.Bryan: Yeah. You okay?Annie: No. Can I come over?There was a short pause. My heart pounded as I waited.Bryan: Yeah. Sending you the address now.Seconds later, it popped up. I didn’t even think. I started walking. No destination had felt right until now. Not home. Not Gabby’s. Just… him.---The neighborhood he lived in was quiet, nestled between rows of sleepy houses with trimmed hedges and basketball hoops that looked untouched. When I got to the door, I barely registered the nervous flutter in my chest before I knocked.Bryan opened it almost immediately.He looked surprised—but not in the uncomfortable, awkward way. More like he was relieved I’d actually come."Hey," he said, voice soft. "Come in."I walked in, bar

  • Becoming Hotter   spoken words

    Annie's P.O.V I went to Gabby's house after school. After I had gone home to change. I stared at the familiar door for a full thirty seconds before knocking. Gabby’s house had always felt like a second home to me. I used to let myself in without thinking twice, dropping onto her couch and raiding her snack cupboard like it was my birthright. But today, I hesitated. My hand hovered midair, heart pounding in a way that felt ridiculous for something as simple as knocking on a door. It was just Gabby. My friend. My almost-sister. I knocked twice. No response. I reached for the doorknob out of habit, surprised when it turned easily. The door creaked open just enough for me to slip in. “Gabby?” I called out softly, stepping into the hallway. Music drifted faintly from upstairs—some mellow indie track that wasn't Gabby's style, yet sounded really familiar. I walked up, my footsteps soft against the carpeted stairs. The closer I got to her room, the clearer the music becam

  • Becoming Hotter   Tension

    Author's P.O.VMalison wasn’t proud of how things had gone with Annie.She knew she and Gabby had been cold—deliberately so. But the guilt still clung to her like smoke, thick and suffocating. She missed Annie’s weird jokes, her way of tilting her head when she didn’t understand something, her mother's delicious food packs, even her annoying obsession with matching her pens to her mood.But if she were being honest with herself—which she was trying very hard not to be—she had pushed Annie away for a reason. Annie has shut her out and they wanted her to have a taste of her own medicine. Plus Annie had a way of noticing things. And Malison couldn’t risk being seen right now.She sat cross-legged on the empty classroom floor, laptop balanced on her knees, the cursor blinking on a fresh document she had titled: "Fragments of Something I'm Not."It was supposed to be fiction. A story. Something vague and poetic about a girl who kissed another girl and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Mal

  • Becoming Hotter   Fractures

    Annie's P.O.VA whole week.That’s how long it had been since I stepped foot in school. Seven long, coughing, aching, fever-ridden days. At first, I thought the break would do me some good. Maybe even clear my head, or reset whatever strange glitch had taken over my life lately. But all it did was give me space to think—too much space. And when the silence settled, it was impossible to ignore just how loud the absence of my friends felt.No calls. No visits.Not even a “Get well soon” text from Gabby or Malison.I kept checking my phone, hoping to see something. Anything. But the only message I got was from Bryan—of all people.“Heard you’re down. You okay?”I stared at it for a long time before replying. We ended up chatting a bit—nothing deep, just casual banter. But it felt... comforting. Now I was back. And everything felt worse.I walked through the school gates that morning with a strange heaviness in my chest, like I was stepping into a battlefield where everyone had already c

  • Becoming Hotter   Reckoning

    Annie's P.O.VI blinked, then instinctively backed out. “why do you wanna know?” “You are!” He said, with affirmation and a smile. “Sure. Think whatever you want” I was going to strongly disagree, but that would only make his claim even stronger. Denial is a river in Egypt. “Annie,” I turned towards the door to see who called my name. Their mum was back.. She walked towards me with a warm smile. “What a pleasant surprise” once she was clode enough, she embraced me..“And your invisible son here” Bryan muttered. She chuckled as she pulled him in for the hug too. Now, I don't know if it was imagination but Bryan's elbow rubbed at my boobs for like three seconds before it went away like it was never there in the first place. I pulled away from her embrace. “Aren't you meant to be in school though?”“I-uh, wasn't feeling too well”“Ouuu” she purred. “Come here” she led me to the chair..” should I make you some tea ?”“No, it's fine” I responded. “Just water will do”“Zach,” sh

  • Becoming Hotter   Flushed

    Annie's P.O.V“Cole?” A lady walked into the house. He sprang up on his feet. “You are here. Aren't you meant to be at school by now?” He asked as he walked to stand next to her. I stood up too, trying not to believe it was what I was thinking..“Annie, this is— this is my girlfriend, Metilda,” she snakes her arms around his. “Metilda, Annie”Oh, so I was just some insignificant person. I smiled, but it didn't quite reach my eyes. “Nice meeting you” She replied with a curt smile. She has this expression like she was waiting for me to leave, like I was interrupting something. Message gotten.. “I—uh, I'll take my leave now.” I walked them, brushing against him the process. I felt him turn, but I didn't turn back. Cole was dating some hot chick. She looked young though, or maybe, it's just my eyes playing tricks with me.. it could also be my mind wanting to believe that.. I sighed as I walked back home.. I got home and there was no one home, but the house was locked and Crap — I
