CLARA'S POV

Maria opened the thick brown file carefully and pushed a single sheet of printed paper towards me; the bold letters at the top of the page clearly stated it was an official warning letter for bad behavior.

"Read the document very carefully and sign now," Maria instructed. "It is a formal acknowledgement of your gross disregard towards me; it clearly states you will never disrespect or disregard your superior, else you shall face severe punishment from the household management."

    CLARA’S POV"What’s the idea?" I asked, a little nervous."We go outside and tell people about it," Lily said. "We just tell them.""Lily, that’s not how it works. You can’t walk up to strangers and...""Then we start with my walks." She held up one finger. "It’s spring now, so it isn’t cold anymore. I want to start my walks again. I already told Mommy, and she said I can do whatever makes me happy, since Jaxson isn’t around."She said it so simply that my eyes stung. "Wait," I said slowly. "That’s actually a good idea.""I told you.""We could walk around the estate, and people would see us, and...""And you can draw your clothes in a little book," Lily said, talking faster because she was excited. "You’re good at drawing. You put your designs in the book, and we give pages to people we see on the road. We tell them you can make those clothes, and you can sew things for them."For a second I couldn’t speak. Then I grabbed her, lifted her right of

    CLARA’S POVMrs. King stood in the doorway, staring down at me with her dark glasses pushed up onto her hair. Her hands were tucked into the pockets of her beige trench coat.“Why are you just coming back? You're right on time,” she said, her voice dropping cold. “But you're coming home much later than you used to.”"Mrs. King, I...""I hope it isn’t what I’m thinking, Clara."My knees almost gave out. I made my voice as steady as I could. "It’s the traffic, ma’am. After school, I go to the library and by the time I get out, traffic is terrible.""Hmm," she said."Clara!" Lily came running down the grand staircase in the pink gown, and her little bag swung around. "You’re home! Mom, why does Clara have to take the bus? We have so many cars in the garage, and nobody uses them. She can use one.""Lily," Mrs. King said."But it’s true! There are like five.""Lily, go and find your shoes."She turned to me. "We're visiting a friend, and we’ll be back before dinner. Make sure her room is c

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 174: STILL YOURS

    CLARA’S POVThe whole school walked into the main hall, and it was so loud that the principal had to tap the microphone three times before anyone stopped talking."Good afternoon, students," she said. "I know you’re tired, so I’ll keep this short. As of today, spring break officially begins. There will be no classes next week.”For one second, nobody moved. Then the hall exploded. People screamed and hugged and threw their notebooks in the air, and somebody blew an air horn that the teachers had definitely told them not to bring. Maya grabbed both my shoulders and shook me."Spring break! A whole week, Clara!"The principal waited with a patient smile until the noise dropped a little. "Before you run for the doors, listen. Your assignments are still due the Monday you return, so use this time wisely. And to our fashion finalists, I want you to see this week as an opportunity. Perfect your craft. Build your brands. The finals will be here before you know it."The crowd cheered again as

    MAYA’S POV"Get off him!" I screamed, pushing past two guys from the basketball team.Charles was standing over Jaxson with his fist raised for another hit. Carl grabbed Charles around the neck from behind and hauled him backward hard, while James stepped right in between them."That's enough!" Carl yelled at Charles. "Are you crazy?!"Jaxson was lying on the wet grass near the pool edge, clutching his side. His lower lip was split open, and blood ran down his neck onto his nice shirt. His left eye was already swelling up fast.I dropped to my knees beside him. "Jaxson! Can you hear me?""Yeah," he choked out, spitting blood onto the grass."Help me get him up!" I shouted at Carl.Carl grabbed Jaxson's left arm, I took his right, and we hauled him to his feet. Jaxson groaned loudly, his knees buckling under him. We dragged him through the house, dodging all the people who were staring and taking videos on their phones, and got him out into the front y

    JAXSON’S POVMy phone buzzed against my chest as I laid out my clothes on Saturday morning.I picked it up and saw Carl’s name on the screen."Hey, Carl," I said, putting the phone to my ear."Jax!" Carl said over the line. "Man, I’m calling to remind you about my birthday party tomorrow evening."“What birthday?" I asked, confused."Shit, I forgot to tell you. My bad. Didn't plan to do anything serious, but Vera's planning a little something at my place. I was so slammed with the fashion show setup that it slipped my mind. You’ve gotta come through."I hesitated. "I don't know, man.""Come on, Jax," Carl pushed. "It's my birthday. Just come for an hour tomorrow."I knew he and James had smashed those screens at the arena. I knew he had deleted that video in front of me. So I didn’t say no. "Alright," I said. "I'll be there.""Cool. Six o’clock."I thought about it for a bit. My gut told me it was best not to go alone.I knew Clara cou

    CLARA’S POVI looked at my mom’s face, and for one second I almost told her everything. The dare, the video, his father throwing him out in the rain. The words were sitting right behind my teeth. But she was still recovering and shouldn't be bothered by all that drama."We’re just busy, Mom," I said. "The competition takes all my time, and he has hockey and school. We don’t talk much anymore.""And the car?""He’s been taking the bus with Maya and me lately. It’s a long story."She looked at me for a long time. "Hmm," she said, which was what she always said when she didn’t believe me but wasn’t going to push."Mom," I said quickly, because I needed to change the subject. "You’ve lost weight.""Have I?" She patted her apron. "I’m fine, Clara. Stop worrying about me.""You're going for your checkups, right?""Every two weeks, darling. The doctor says I’m doing well, so please relax." She pinched my cheek."Are you eating enough? Is the rent oka

    I couldn’t speak.“She’s fading, Clara,” he continued. "Every hour we wait is an hour we don’t get back.

    He stared at me. I stared right back. Our eyes fixed on each other. The world did not end, though it felt like it should have. His mouth opened. "What the hell?" he screamed. "Adene? Is this a joke? Are you stalking me now?" "Jaxson." Maria appeared behind him, but her eyes moved straigh
