Dad sights Mia and i and quickly hangs up the call, drawing Kate’s attention towards us.“Where the hell behave you been?” He asks in a fit of rage as Kate runs up to Mia, pulling her in a tight embrace.“We’re not kids anymore dad,you didn’t have to be so worried.” I respond dryly.“Don’t speak to your father like that.” I hear Kate say.“Why did you leave school before classes were over.” I see Mia’s eyes widen in shock.“Ho..how..did you..f..find out.” She stutters in fear.“I was worried that you weren’t back home yet even though school had long been over so i called Max whom called your principal.” Kate replies.“And she told us that you left the school premises with Mia long before classes were over without informing her or anyone the reason why?”“Mia had some problems at school okay. She was hurt and crying and i couldn’t see her like that..” I yell in response. “…so i took her somewhere peaceful to calm her down.” I tell them softly.“Mia! Is that true?” Kate cups Mia’s face w
MIAAfter spending that intimate moment with Josh and taking a contraceptive pill, i sneak back to my room so that none of our parents can see us together.I enter my room and sigh in relief at my success. I lay on my bed and smile remembering the moment Josh and i shared few minutes ago.“I love you.” My words replay in my head and i chuckle. I never meant to say that, it just came out unexpectedly.I vividly recall the excited look on Josh’s face once he heard that from me, he definitely wasn’t expecting it and was definitely taken aback.“Josh! You’re making me crazy.” I giggle and plant my face unto my pillow.*****I walk into the classroom and almost have a head on collision with Miquel.“Woah!” I say and move back a little.“I have been waiting for you Mia.” He utters, ignoring the fact that we almost head butted each other.“Why?” I raise a brow, folding my arms below my chest.“I..umm.. i wanted to apologise for yesterday. I didn’t stand up for you and i’m sorry.” He apologise
I walk into class looking all jittery and my gaze moves to Josh who stares back at me with a worried and confused expression on his face.I flash him a forced smile, trying my best to make it look genuine but i know very well that he doesn’t buy it.I settle down on my seat trying my utmost best to listen to what the teacher is saying but i’m unable to do so as all Ross had told me keeps repeating in my head.“Mia can you tell me the answer?” I hear the teacher ask.Of all the students in this class, i just happen to be the one the question is thrown to.“Umm..” I look at the board trying to see if the question or anything relating to the question is written there?“Were you even listening?” I sigh.“I’m sorry ma’am.” I apologise and she throws the question to someone else.My gaze moves to Josh and he flashes me an ‘are you okay?’ look. I try myself to smile wholeheartedly so he won’t get suspicious but i fail woefully.I avert my gaze trying to listen to the teacher when someone lea
“I’ll kill Josh.” Ross says flatly and i gasp.“Kill? Wh…what are...you..sa…saying Ross...” I’m unable to control my emotions.Why would he want to kill Josh? “If you refuse to be with me, i won’t let you be with Josh either.”“Please…don’t do this Ross.” I beg,tears clouding my eyes.“The only way you can save your lover is by dating me.” He states, using his fingers to wipe my tears. “So what’s your decision darling?” He asks.What do i do? Josh is nowhere to be found, i can’t ask him or anyone for help and his life is in danger too.The only way i can save his life is by dating this monster.“You have five seconds to answer my question or else your boyfriend looses his life.” He tells me. “Five….Four…” He starts counting.Why is my relationship with Josh facing hurdles? Why is Ross so cruel? And where the heck is Josh.“…Three….Two….”“I’ll be your girlfriend.” I blurt out. What other choice do i have?“I knew you were going to accept.” He smiles still wiping my tears.“Can i go n
I compose myself and pick up my phone which had been laying on the bed and i place it on my ear.“I’ve…i’ve done..what you wanted Ross.” I inform him.“I can’t believe you fell for him. And i can’t believe he’s fuming because his stepsister broke up with him. You guys make me sick.” Ross gags. “Well, since you got the job done i’ll forgive you for allowing that wretch to kiss you.”“Don’t call him names.” I holler.“Lower your voice or you’ll regret it.” He warns and i gulp nervously.“I’m coming to pick you up by seven so get ready.” He tells me and i check the time only to realise that i have less than two hours left.“Where are you taking me?” I inquire.“Don’t question me.” He orders harshly. “I’ll be at your place by seven so make sure to look sexy for me.” He says and hangs up.I don’t want to go anywhere with Ross, i don’t want to be with him neither do i want to be his girlfriend. But what choice do i have? “This monster…he made me hurt the only one i’ve ever loved.” I say in
I stare around the restaurant still shaken about the fact that Ross had booked it all for us both and even decorated it beautifully.This is just what i had hoped my first date would be like, balloons with my favorite color decorating the restaurant, pictures of me in every position of the restaurant, a huge frame with us in it, my favorite song playing and my favorite food being served, him adoring me and complimenting me and a whole bunch of other things.The only difference between what i had imagined my first date would be like and this is… well they’re more than one but i’ll be glad to list them all.Firstly, the balloons aren’t even in my favorite color, they’re pink uggh, the huge frame has an edited picture of Ross and i in it..omg…and i am on a date with the guy i despise so much. He tried impressing me, he even complimented me, it’s a shame that all his attempts to win me over will be in vain.“Earth to Mia.” Ross snaps his fingers in my face pulling me out of my trance.“W
JOSHI’m still finding it hard to digest the fact that Mia decided to end our relationship, she wants me to forget every memorable time we’ve spent with each other and as if rubbing salt into my open wound, i just found out that she’s in a relationship with Ross. Why Ross and why so soon? It’s barely even been a day since we broke up. And why Ross of all the guys in this world? Why my friend? Could it be that she had been dating him when we were together?That thought hurts me and i exhale. Why does she derive joy in hurting me? And why can’t i hate her even after all the pains she’s caused me.I try my best to pass time as i wait for Mia. I’m going to confront her, i need to know the truth..i need to know where i stand in her life. Am i her stepbrother or something more? I’m going to find that out today.I hear the sound of the living room’s door closing and i jump off my bed. It seems like Mia is home. Could it be her though?I listen closely and hear footsteps getting closer by ea
ROSSI can’t believe all that happened today. Fuck! Mia that ungrateful little bitch. She couldn’t even pretend to be appreciative for once, she just had to prove how much she hates me,didn’t she?I had gotten tips from different females on what a girl would like for her first date and all the things i should and shouldn’t do and say while on a date but all my efforts proved futile.She kept giving me attitude. Even when i complimented her dress, even when i told her she looked stunning, even when i asked her about her meal.Maybe me indirectly calling her fat was wrong but still, did i do any harm by asking her whether she had eaten to her satisfaction? That bitch! She compared me to Josh…Josh! She deserved that slap. She should have watched her mouth. I’m not in the wrong, she is.I’m snapped out of my thoughts when i hear a knock on my door.“Who the fuck is it?” I ask feeling irritated.“It’s Madeline dear.” My face brightens once i hear that voice.Madeline has been my nanny eve
