Immediately, Xavier moved away from me. We stared at each other for a while listening to get if the voice was just our imagination.
"Xavier!!" Mum raised her voice "Can you please come help me pull this inside?" She sounded distressed "Dad is carrying something"
I listened well to hear rattling sounds like she was trying to pull something inside. My heart skipped a beat and nearly exploded!
'What will she do if she sees us like this? Will she tell my stepdad?'
I can't even stand the shame to come as I felt like melting. It was like my brain had stopped working same as my heart as I felt my breath seize and I began to suffocate.
"Emily" Mom's voice sound faint. It was like she had gone back outside or is in the kitchen "Xavier?" She called again.

School went fast and before I knew what was happening I heard the closing bell. Kids rushing to their various home while I sluggishly walked towards the toilet to start cleaning with Devin. Since what happened between him and Xavier he haven't really talked to me. He just showed up after school that day with a fresh briuse on his knuckles and I wonder how often he gets into a fight. it could be that he is always been bullied but the principal refuse to see that. Today would be a another day, at least if the school hours went horribly, closing hour might be good. I can as well try to talk to Devin to see if I can forget how Nigel made fun of me in class today. He literally called my trash in from of everyone in class just to make fun of me. If it was only that, I won't think about it. He called me a hoe and photo shopped a naked body to my face, with the way he
The Good news was that the principal called our attention immediately, all of us in the detention including Nili and Eva. He told us to leave the things he asked up to do that the Janitor would do it. Since he noticed we all liked the work he have us something he knew we do t like. In a class room, he asked us to study for a text that would come within the next Five minutes. If we have to do such emergency text all day till my detention is over, I would like be the most happiest person on earth. After text I walked to Xavier's van, I was thinking and wondering how it would be able to sit in the same car with him after what happened. Good thing I didn't find it but my mum's car pulled over in front of me. "Hey honey" Mum smile "Xavier told me you guys stayed over for extra studies, I am so proud of you"&n
DEVIN'S POV The crowd this night seems more than every other night which means my money would be much. For them to come, more than half of them would bet for me to win, in that case I have to make beating my opponent badly a priority. After staring at his face for sometime, I couldn't recall if I have fought with him before. Everything about him seems strange even his tattoo. which writes "gone so soon" on his left chest?! Sometimes I wonder what ladies sees in tattoos that makes them go gaga when ever I climb the stage. Someone just threw a pant over my shoulder and I know what she wants. That would have to be later as usual, right now, I need to break his ribs. Walking round the stage, I monitored my opponent's first move. If he knocks me dow
EMILIA'S POV I still can't believe what I just saw. Oh! That literally happened yesterday and I thought it happen today. Memories of how Devin had almost killed the other boy haunted my memories. Like, they were so cruel! It almost looked like they would fight to death. 'What kind of people even cheer comfortably to such!?' I am still mad at Xavier for pulling me and carrying me over his shoulders like I was some kind of doll. Even up till this very moment, where I sat staring at the bathroom where he is taking his bath, I wonder how he found me. Still pleaded I won't have to tweak all those miles while I stare at Devin Kick a huge waste bin and Yell in frustration or something that looks like that. With the way he looked, it seems like he wanted to co
My brows connected as I kept looking at my mum to the rest part of my family. Well, I just can't get what the tension is all about but I knew I didn't feel the same as I felt when I woke up. "It's nothing much, Princess" My stepdad tried to pat my head but I hit his hand away "Common, let's get you to school" he stood up. My gaze remain on my Mum that refused to look at my face. She kept looking at my hands that were folded across my chest. "When is he coming?" I asked my Mum. Her lazy gaze looked up to My stepdad who cleared his throat awkwardly. Although I didn't look back to see what he was doing, but with the way My mum was watching him and i felt him closer, I knew he was walking back. To to prove myself, I felt his warms palms on my shoulders as he squeezed them gently. "Just one of these days and It
The whole day, I can say I didn't say a word. Lucky me, no teacher asked me one of their usual annoying questions like I am the only one covering their head in class. At the time I wonder if covering the head affects the aid of hearing, another time, I wonder why teachers are the most pathetic humans. They would teach you, give your assignments, projects, text, and still give your exam! We trusted them enough and accepted their teaching why won't they do the same and assume we already know the topic and don't see exams. Frankly, it is not a problem at all but it kind of annoys me at times. Setting up the same questions in different methods just to test our intelligence and some still fail. Good thing, not every teacher is like Mr. Matthew our matches teacher. I am extremely grateful I won't be needing the subject after high school if not, my next plan would be to kill
It's Friday, Officially the second week of my detention. The worst week of my life and the week I wish I could delete from my memory but it can never happen. Successful, I have ignored Devin and Xavier the past two days. Good thing, we were asked to study extra hours on subjects we were not good at. Mine was history, so frustrating Mr. Caylord prosponted the project because majority of the class were not ready. That means, another time together with Nigel. The least I want is to keep getting his annoying and mischievous glance. I don't know how to put it but he seems more to me like Devin now with fresh bruises every day. After the nose bleeding and Neck bruises, Nigel came to school twice again this week with broken lips and a small cut on nose. It's a huge surprise that I haven't heard much or seen anything about the video he threatened to post online. Somet
Frankly, I didn't how all this adds up somehow without me knowing from the start. It's was just yesterday that step dad told me about this and here I am looking at him. Flesh and blood after all these years. I stood rigid, watching at my current parents face before lookinga at my dad who has a high smile on his face. With his hands wide, he pulled into a tight hug which was kind of a bit awkward as all I did was stood still. James (my real dad) pulled out before he cleared his throat clumsily. He both sides of his lower lips with his index and thumb before turning to my Mum with a wide grin on his face. He licked his lower lips before throwing his hand up and let it drop, slapping it hard on his sides. "My baby!" He shouted "My Emilia is a big girl and I don't even know how old she is..." He trailed off as he turned to look at my face "Are you fourteen you know it's
