“Hey, Kylie!” I heard a familiar voice. It was James.
“God! You startled me! What are you doing here?” I asked him, heavily breathing.
“Grace asked me to give you a lift!”
“Oh, well!”
“So you stopped hating me, right?” he asked me.“Well, I hate you less now.” I laughed and he giggled.
“This is the progress!” he exclaimed. “You understand that I didn’t do anything wrong, right? This was his parents’ choice.”
I didn’t say anything and looked out the window.
When we arrived, we went inside the house.“Hey, Kylie!” Grace greeted, as she opened the doors.
“Hi, Grace!” I answered. We hugged each other.
“Come in!”
We went to the living room.
“Kylie!” Mason, Logan, Liam and Alexa screamed.
“Hey, guys!” I said and
The next day started, as usually, from breakfast. This time, I met my dad.“Hey dad!” I exclaimed, as I went downstairs.“Hey, dear!” he answered and approached me to kiss my cheek.“How are you? How did your surgeries go?” I asked, when I sat in the kitchen near him.“Good, but I’m tired. The surgeries went successfully and you can’t imagine how happy I was when I saved one patient from amputating an arm!”“Oh, Jesus! It’s so scary!” I said, and he nodded. “Dad!”He looked at me, waiting for me to continue.“How do you know, what is right when you do something?” I asked.I thought about my experience and knew, that my dad could give me a piece of advice.“Well, it’s just what your intuition whispers to you. It may be wrong, of course. But you should trust your gut, even if it may seem to you wrong! Personall
“Raffael King! Stop!” Coach came and started screaming.Other boys came as well and started pulling them away. But Raf didn’t move an inch. He was mad and wrathful. “Raf! Stop!” other students started screaming.He didn’t hear anyone. He was beating James up.“Raffael!” I screamed.That was when he looked up and stopped fighting.I looked at Raf and shook my head in disappointment.“Peanut...” he said.I ran to James and sat on my knees to look at him.“James!” I started calling him.He was unconscious.“James!” I screamed and started hitting him softly on his face.Then I felt his hand brushing my hand.“Everything’s okay,” he whispered, opening slowly his eyes. When I started looking at his face, I saw a lot of bruises, his eye couldn’t open up. And blood was coming fr
Since that day I haven’t talked to Raf for 2 weeks. We were just passing through each other, without exchanging a word. Sometimes we were staring at each other, but it was the highest form of communication. Most of the time, I spent with James. I sat with him at the lessons, he started coming with us to my house for the homework. I was forgetting Raf, but in the end, he still was always on my mind. It was finally the last day before the Christmas. As always, we attended our classes, went to the cafeteria and then in the end of the day, we wished each other Merry Christmas. We knew that after this holiday, we would meet on the trip.Bella went back home. She wanted to spend it with us, but she couldn’t help, but miss her dad and even her evil sister. Linc and I sat in the car and started the ride.“So, I noticed, that you stopped talking to Raf,” he mumbled.I nodded and replied:“Indeed
“Let me guess: your dad asked you to buy gifts for all the Kings’ family members?” Raf stated, as he took off his helmet.“Your mom did the same?” I asked.He nodded and laughed. “Sit back! Let’s go together!”“I will accept your proposition to give me a lift, but then we will go separate ways. You can’t just ignore me 2 weeks because of Charlotte and then talk to me, like nothing is wrong!”“Sorry, Peanut! I hope everything goes back to normal soon, but until it does, it has to be this way,” he apologized and put on the helmet, giving me another one to wear. I wore it and sat on the bike.“Hold on tight!” he screamed and I put my hands around his waist.As he started riding, I tightened my grip on him. I noticed him yearning to look at me. I imagined his face with a smirk plastered on it. But somehow, even this annoying smirk of his made me feel better
After the Christmas, it was the day of the trip. I woke up really early, so I could pack my things. I put warms clothes: sweaters, jeans, knitted skirts, blouses, coats, jackets. We were going to the ski resort and there would be much colder. When I put the last thing in my luggage, I closed it and went downstairs to put it near the entrance. There wasn’t Lincoln’s luggage, so I wanted to check if he had packed it already. I went to his room and saw him sleeping, his pieces of clothing lying on the floor and a big mess. I started waking him up.“Linc! Get up and pack your things!” I whispered loudly.He started opening his eyes, but then closed them again.“I swear, I’m gonna kill you!” I continued swaying him.“What time is it now?” he whispered, still having his eyes closed.“It’s five a.m.!”He opened his eyes and sat up. &nbs
“What are we gonna do in the living room?” I asked confused.“Boys want to organise a secret party! It will be at 7, after the dinner. Now we are going to the living room where all the teachers are, to make them think, that nothing’s gonna happen. We will say that we are going to bed early or something like that!” Mia explained.“Wow! I like this idea!” I exclaimed and clapped my hands. When we came to the living room, I saw Raf, James, Lincoln, Dylan, Charlotte and other cool students sitting on the couches. Teachers were not far from us, near the reception.“Babe!” Lincoln called Mia and opened his arms.Mia ran towards him and sat near him, hugging each other. Bella sat near Dylan. They looked so cute together. This is definitely one more endgame.“Ky!” I heard James calling me.I approached him and sat next to him. Raf sat there with his hands crossed across th
Kylie Walker“Kylie?! Wake up!” I heard someone screaming at me.And then I felt soft hits on my face. I started opening my eyes slowly and that was when I saw James.“James?” I whispered, breaking my voice.“Yes, I’m here! Don’t be scared! I will find a place with fireplace, so you could get warmed up.”I nodded and he lifted me up, carrying me.“Thank you,” I whispered weakly.“Anything for you.” He smiled. “Look! Here is a house. Let’s ask the owner to let us stay a little bit,” he suggested and I nodded.I didn’t have much strength to speak. He approached the house and started knocking on the doors. Nobody was opening.“Hello!” he screamed.But there was still no answer. Then he pushed the door. Apparently, it was opened. We went inside and there was a fi
At first, James was leading. I didn’t scream anyone’s name to encourage, because if I would be on James’ side, Raf would be mad at me. Even if he was an ass a lot, we still were close friends. He understood me a lot. But he wasn’t intending on opening his wounds to someone. I remembered the Christmas and like by magic, I wanted to forget every bad word he had ever said to me. Mia said that he was jealous. But was he?If I was on Raf’s side, James would be mad at me too. Because he was like a puppy, loyal to me. He was always trying to get closer and make me feel comfortable. But there was one thing: if I had to be on someone’s side, I would choose Raf. This was what my heart was saying. That I had to be on Raf’s side. But why did my heart never pay attention to his bad actions and remember just the good ones?They were almost near the finish. James was leading, but in the end, Raf noticed the slope and went up on it. He
