LOGINThird person POV “You look like you're going to her office, you can just ask her.” Ryan scoffed as the words replayed in his head, in Vienne’s bland tone. He paused at the entrance of his home while the white SUV he'd alighted from drove off to the garage.Why did her tone sound like his presence had irked her earlier? That wasn't the first time too as he remembered how she dismissed him at the school's lobby. A mixed feeling ran through him and at that moment his phone dinged.‘Babe, you're home already? Don't forget we have a date tomorrow evening ❤️’ _ Amelia.A notification from Amelia had almost had him rolling his eyes in annoyance he couldn't even explain. Without bothering to reply he jogged up the small stairs into the house.“Hi Dad. Mom.” He acknowledged as he strolled in spotting them at the living room.“Ryan, my dear!” Mrs Knox had greeted in an unusual enthusiasm as a maid came forward to take his bag. He lightly frowned at his mom smiling and gesturing at him to com
Vienne POVThe heels of my new shoes made a crisp, exquisite sound as it came in contact with the room's floor when I shifted from one foot to another.“I obviously want the best for you Vienne. And I wouldn't want you to go astray. It would prick my conscience to sit by and watch you do things wrongly.”“You are not my parent, Miss Donati” I say with a small frown, using every ounce in me and trying as hard as I could to not sound so rude or snap at her, but looks like I wasn't doing a good job. I mentally sneered at Miss Donati seated before me.I was getting tired, bored, fed up and gradually irritated by her ‘words of advice’. I tried making it known to her by constantly shifting my stance on my foots each minutes but looks like she's not having it.“Vienne dear, I don't have to be Your parent before I caution you against something bad.” She continued. “Damon Calloway is just not someone you should be associated with. He's just bad news. Rough. All these… you can even testify to i
46VIENNE'S POVSchool was over.I alighted from my car while the driver drove off to the garage. With a smile on my face and a piece of clothing in my hand, I paused at the entrance of my home as a memory from a while ago flashed through me.FLASHBACK:It was lunch, but I wasn't going to the cafeteria. I had stuffs to complete and I'm not taking chances. Grumbling, I rummaged through my locker for the textbooks I needed; I was supposed to be enjoying a sumptuous meal for lunch right now, but here I was.A few steps from me, someone else closed their locker shut and I looked up, slightly sneering at Damon's figure before looking away. Of course, he'd seen me.‘Getting off??’Call me petty, but I had minded my business through out the classes, blatantly ignoring him. For now. Because that doesn't mean I won't get back at him. In my book, everyone has their own measurement of punishment.“What do you want, Calloway?” I grumbled out at him, still searching through my locker once I notice
VIENNE'S POVA week's passed. A ridiculous week of tests passed.Shutting my laptop, I grabbed my cellphone which had dinged a moment ago but I was to busy to give it any attention. It was a notification from Instagram; Amelia made a post. It was a picture of she and Ryan on a date at a fancy mall; the girl had a big smile on her face while holding a tube of ice cream and the boy had a small one while tucking his both hands in the pockets of his hoodie. A tag followed #Amery.They look happy.Or rather they seem happy enough.I expected the feeling of betrayal, annoyance and melancholy to hit me ruthlessly, but nothing came as I stared blankly at the post. Perhaps I was tired from the week's activities.With a sigh, I scrolled through the pages reacting to other posts and ten minutes passed. I scrolled through my contacts before stopping at a particular one and sending them a text message.‘please, do well to go through your jotter before going to bed.’_ Vienne.Hitting send, the mes
VIENNE'S POV The school was over. I took my time, walking down the stairs at the school's entrance in relief and unrestrained pride. My cellphone in my hand as I scrolled through the school's group; it was still blowing up with flagger blasted students triggered by Janet's earlier confession.From the corner of my eye, I could see Alex standing, his hands in his pocket as he…waited? I don't know, but I gritted my teeth in annoyance looking and moving away.My lips twitched at the turnout of things and Mrs Ray's frustration at what she has to deal with concerning her class' students lately. I'm grateful though.“I'm beginning to think you're intentionally avoiding me.” A voice sneered behind me and I didn't even need to turn around; I've grown to recognize Grace's voice. I rolled my eyes, turning to look at her while crossing my arms across my chest.“I should be the one asking you something like that. Tch. I've not been seeing you around. Are you skipping school now?” I accused sourl
VIENNE'S POVBurning.My face was burning. From heating up.Guess it's the warmth from the embrace.“Let me give it, okay?” Damon shamelessly continued and that had me jerking up. I slapped off his hand but his arm was still loosely wound up around me. I was still considering yanking off his muscular arm when he spoke lowly to my hearing alone.“Come on. Your ex-boyfriend is watching. Don't make this awkward.”I scrunched up my nose in disapproval. “You're lying Calloway. You're just using that as an excuse to feel me up , aren't you? Tch” I accused , finally getting out of his arm, which earned me a dark chuckle from him. The amusement in the sound could not be overlooked.“You're quite a pro in using people, y'know.” He raised a brow while his eyes unhurriedly roamed all over my body. “And I don't even need to feel you up with my hands.” He walked away with his bottle water.This guy's got guts…I was about to walk away when I paused in my tracks, staring at Ryan who stood by the en
Vienne's POVThe east entrance of Minerva High buzzed with the usual morning chaos, but today it felt like a stage. I arrived at 7:40 sharp, heart hammering harder than it had during yesterday’s library meeting. My uniform was an immaculate crisp white blouse tucked into the pleated skirt, subtle h
Vienne's POV*I stepped into the school library which had always been a place of sanctuary to me. But today, it felt like a battlefield.I arrived there at 3:55 pm, Damon’s folded jacket tucked neatly inside my bag. My hair was pulled into a sleek ponytail, makeup light but flawless enough to hide

Vienne povUpon reaching my car, I realized how loud the silence had become.The courtyard whispers still echoed in my ears, a cruel loop of laughter and gasps that refused to fade. I slid into the driver’s seat of my sleek white Audi RS3 saloon, a birthday gift from my parents.I gripped the leathe
