LOGINAudrey's POVWalking into Nolan's living room, I was met with absolute silence. I had just gotten the first batch of the invitation card to my birthday party. I wanted both him and Nolan to be the first people I gave it to me. It was in a week and I'm sure they've not forgotten given they were both engrossed with their newfound interest. They wouldn't dare do that."Nolan?" I called out loudly again walking into his bedroom. He wasn't there either. I hadn't seen him in school all day so I was sure he would be home. Where was he? I suddenly remembered the only place he would be if he was not upstairs. Downstairs in the underground basement."Are you in there? Guess what? You would be surprised when I show you..," I started excitedly running down the steps. But, I was the one who got the shock of my life when I opened the door and saw him on top of Genevieve. He quickly shielded her naked body with his."You never informed me you were coming," he said in surprise. I caught sight of her
Nolan's POVI arrived at school later than everyone else. I never wanted to come but how could I leave my little kitten all alone unattended to? The thought of her brought a contended smile to my face. I got out of the car and walked towards the school entrance while bringing out a packet of cigarettes. I placed it on my lips and checked my pockets for a lighter."Were you looking for this?" a voice asked. I glanced towards him and my expression hardened."What the fuck are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your pack being daddy's little errand boy?" I spat angrily.He smiled. "Chill out brother. I was just handing you a lighter which I presumed you needed badly.""You can go to hell with your lighter," I responded willing myself not to get angry. I continued walking towards the school premises but he stepped in front of me stopping me abruptly."I wasn't done talking," he declared."I don't care. Don't you have a mother to annoy and leave me alone?" I retorted."At least I have one
Genevieve's POVI dropped my tray on the table laughing out loud at a joke Andrea made after getting our food from the counter. We each took our seats but there was one empty seat left. It was meant for Matt. Jade and I kept quiet as she stared at it for a while. She looked back at us with a forced smile."I'm fine guys. No need to stare at me like I'm about to die from a disease," she said with an eye roll. "Aside from Matt, who is the other scholarship student?" I asked curiously and also tried to change the moody atmosphere. I had never heard of or seen the other student. We all only knew Matt."Why are you curious all of a sudden?" Jade asked. I was about to respond when I noticed the sudden silence of everyone in the cafeteria including Jade and Andrea. I scrunched up my nose in confusion."What..," I paused when I saw Owen taking the empty chair next to Andrea and dragging it beside me. He sat with a smile."Hi," he muttered."Hey," I replied with a smile. We stared at each oth
Owen's POVShe avoided my gaze again. She's been avoiding it since I asked her that question. I noticed how she tried to divert my attention the first time but I ignored it. I would do whatever she wanted if it made her comfortable."I work to take my mind off things. I feel like if I keep everything pent-up and remain indoors, I might lose my mind," she explained, fiddling with her fingers. I wondered what was bothering her so much that she couldn't say."I'm curious to ask what's on your mind, but I won't pry. You can tell me whenever you feel like it," I said taking hold of her mind in mine. She looked at me in surprise. I smiled assuringly at her."You might be upset when I say this but I will say it anyway. Your mum must have behaved the way she did because she was worried about you," I said. She pulled her hand away."Are you taking my mum's side?" she asked with a frown."I'm not taking anyone's side. I'm merely saying the truth. Think about it from her perspective. Speak to he
Genevieve's POVTo say I was surprised would be an understatement. I never pegged him as the kind of man who would say or do such a thing. I've come to realize that he was the most misunderstood person I had ever met. He had acted so coldly towards me and I thought he was a rude jerk which made me reciprocate the feeling but meanwhile, deep down he actually liked me. He liked me enough to keep a meaningless hairpin. "You did?" I asked quite surprised. It's been such a long time. He smiled at me. He never smiled often but whenever he did, his eyes lit up so bright that it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. It did things to me that I couldn't comprehend."I did, a lot. Which was why I was so cold towards you. I tried my hardest not to fall for you. I didn't think I was capable of that," he replied."Let's go. The night isn't getting any younger," he said. I nodded and quietly followed behind him. It felt like I was doing something wrong. Nolan had also poured his heart out to
Owen's POVI was on my way home after going for a drive in the city. Whenever I had a lot on my mind, I usually went for a drive. But it seemed I would have to start going for a drive every single day now because I always have one thing or the other in my mind. Riding at a very fast pace the trees went by me quickly, I thought I saw something or someone. Without realizing it, I slowed down my pace and glanced at the rearview mirror. It wasn't someone that looked like her. It was really her.I stopped my motorbike and got down. "Miss Gonzales?" I called out walking towards her. She turned towards me in surprise."Owen?" she inquired. I noticed she didn't look or sound like herself. She appeared...lost."Why are you walking all alone on the streets?" I asked curiously."Did you follow me or is this a coincidence?" she asked. The breeze kept blowing her hair all over her face."It's a coincidence. I was on my way home when I saw you," I replied."I see. Have a safe trip home then," she s
