I was in Zayn’s room and I had told him more than I should have last night. My eyes snapped open and easily found his green ones. I could see the uncertainty in them and I knew my admittance of the attraction I feel towards him last night must be making him feel awkward around me.
‘Meghan. Are you okay?’ my eyes moved to June and I smiled. She had an extra glow to her skin.
‘I’m fine’. She nodded‘Don’t let Zayn wolf down all the cupcakes, it’s not exactly healthy for breakfast but it’s what I was craving’.Ah, even her vocabulary was knocked up.‘Don’t worry, I won’t let him bully me’. She smiled and disappeared from the room.
&lsquo‘Why would she do that to me?’ Queenie asked for the umpteenth time.‘That is not the question you should be asking now. The right question is how do we kill her?’ Pokello stated, staring us all in the face with seriousness that made me question her sanity and mine as her best friend.Katie face-palmed.‘Is she still drunk?’ she asked‘Hey. Just curing my hangover with more drinks’. She reached for the juice box beside her that apparently contained alcohol.‘I say we confront her’. Katie suggested.‘Then beat her up’. I added.‘To death’. Pokello added and winked.‘I can’t fight her, I’ll ruin my manicure’. Queenie whined, ignoring Kello’s savage suggestion.‘My brothers can help’. Pokello spoke again.‘No. I can’t have your brothe
The roads weren't as bumpy as I remembered. The bushes were thicker but a few more buildings had been erected in the neighborhood. Orange leaves decorated the side of the road and the little streaks of sunlight that escaped through the branches gave the place a magical feel. I would appreciate living in a place like this and surprisingly, so do my cousins.Uncle Sam was tearing wood as I parked my car in the driveway and got out. He dropped the axe and walked to me.'Shouldn't Newt be doing the hard work now?' I said as means of greeting.'Trust me he does but not this one. Not since he barely missed his little toe'. I laughed as we fist bumped.'You look extra beefy Uncle Sammy'. I commented.'For real? Well I've been getting some extra care'. He beamed.'From who?''From....' The front door opened and a lady walked out with two glasses of juice loaded on a fancy tray.'Mrs. Tanner?''Agatha, call me Agatha
Everyone hates Monday mornings, I wasn't an exemption but this particular one felt like Saturday movie marathon with the girls.Queenie and I sat rubbing shoulders in homeroom when every phone in the room and probably the entire school pinged. Gasps, chuckles and nonchalant sighs were heard. Shortly after, the morning news was interrupted as the screen changed to the photo that had been sent to everyone.'For those of you who didn't get the message sent a few seconds ago. This chat is between our very own generally loved head cheerleader Tara Johnson and Eric Truman. I hope the pieces fall into place'. Came a mechanical voice from the speaker that no one would guess to be Zayn's.Miss Walker cast a lazy glance at the screen, shook her head and returned to looking miserable.'Three, two, one'. The bell rang immediately after Queenie's countdown and students began filing out. Immediat
My mom was slummed on a chair in the living room facing the ceiling when I got back that evening. Her eyes were shut so I made to quietly retire to my room. ‘Meghan’.There is a way a parent calls one’s name that sends off a clear message of trouble.‘Yes mom’.She rose from her seat and met me by the stairs.‘Mom is everything okay?’ I inquired‘You had no right’. She began ‘What?’‘You had no right to keep the truth away from me. Why didn’t you tell the shameless gold digger was back in town?’‘Mom’.‘Let me speak’. She hissed out ‘Those girls are my kids too and they are all Sam has. Imagine what he’d go through if he lost them. Magdalene has to understand that she has no power over any member of this family and we won’t all abandon each other like she did but keeping secrets like that, it makes us look
I didn’t like silence but I liked this one, it was the calm one that flows with the feeling of contentment and the joy of friendship.‘It hurts’. Queenie whined. She was stretched out on the bed with a pillow probed below her waist and her legs lifted to fall on either sides of her neck.‘The cramps or that freaky yoga shit you have going on?’ Pokello asked, sparing her a glance.‘The yoga is supposed to help’. She defended.‘Is it?’ Katie questioned, eyes glued to her phone.‘Not anymore’. Queenie said and disengaged herself from that painful position.‘Why does it hurt so much? Isn’t this thing supposed to be like a reminder of fertility? Why can’t it just last for an hour and be gone? I mean; I can get pregnant, I get it, bye’.‘The horrors of being a woman’. Kello said lazily,
Jake is gay. It was the major thought in my mind. It wasn’t the idea of it that bothered me, it was the possibilities my brain came up with. Why wouldn’t he want me to find out about it? He didn’t think I was homophobic did he? Of course he did.Maybe he thought I knew, that Katie told me and that’s why I tortured him. Or maybe he thought I’d tell Zayn but what if Zayn knows? They are best friends, so close one would think they were…. Oh god, what if they were…Katie said someone had anonymously sent a pic to her but the other guy’s face was concealed. She couldn’t make out anything aside that it was a guy because of the poor lighting in the room.A loud noise downstairs threw me out of bed and back to reality. I grabbed my ball and began to tiptoe downstairs but when I got there, all I found was Gracie, twirling to an imaginary song and
I moved to the left and his fisted hand missed my face once again. For yet another reason, I was thankful for my sleek and graceful nature that allowed me do crazy things like agreeing to be Jake’s sparring partner. He sent another blow towards my nose and I ducked using my leg to swipe him off his feet. He landed on the floor with a thud and just remained there, expressionless.‘This is fun and all but dude you’ve got to find another means of outlet since talking to me is a taboo’. I tried for the zillionth time to get him to open up. He shut his eyes and pulled himself up. ‘Let’s keep going’. He said and got into position. ‘Ehm, no? You might be enjoying this but my nose can only get saved so many times.‘Are you being a pussy right now, Rodriguez?’ He razzed. ‘I’m the pussy? You are the one who runs to the gym
I am crazy. What I was about to do felt right but the timing was off but there is never a perfect time for anything so I tried not to grip the wheel too hard. Travis had said he was home and his car in the garage confirmed it. Inside, Tyler was by the stairs stoning. He smiled at me with an ease that only those plants could provide.‘Hey bro’. He grinned‘You finally lost that last bit of shame you had left? Can’t even take your business to your room’.‘It’s a free world, besides, who would watch the door?’I shook my head and decided to hurry things up so he could concentrate on his highness.‘Where is Travis?’‘The little cub is behind at the court’.I chuckled‘You are lucky I can’t tell him you called him that’.‘Why not?’ He wiggled his brows and I waved him off before walking to the back of the house.Tr
