VIENNE POV

“What the fuck did you say?”

The question hung in the air as Damon's face carried a chilling aura, one I've never seen before.

His form towered over the stout man with a forming scowl, but the man didn't seem to be backing down too as he glared back at Damon.

Eh.

“My_my bad. I didn't see_”

“Of course you didn't see it.” The manager sneered turning back to back to me. “Exactly why I asked if you were blind and how you got in here.”

The next moment, I was gently pulled behind Damon kee

    THIRD PERSON POVThe corridor of Minerva's high, oozed with students hanging around since it was the hour before classes begin. The school's colour and uniform colour, royal blue and silver dominated the hall as the students crawled along it.At a corner, Brenda Owen stood with two of her friends as they giggled over their cellphone.“Did you see the last one she posted on her Instagram page? Vienne is really shameless about this.” The first friend commented as they checked out Vienne's Instagram account.“Low-key, I'm rooting for them. She's open about what she wants. Trust me, you wouldn't have fancied seeing her forlornly sulk around after being dumped by Ryan.” Brenda said with a sigh.“Exactly. They look cute; they seem joined at the hips too. Good thing you invited her, did she promise to come for your birthday party. I can't wait to see them pull up togetherrrrrr.” she purred.“Of course, I did. And she said she'd be coming. I hope she truly does too. And there's no way Vienne

She had to disrupt the energy source and now your shoot is interrupted. We could have captured something beautiful.” He stood toe to toe with Damon and I almost laughed at the height difference between the two. As the seconds ticked by and as they exchanged words, the seemingly hostile air gradually dispersed.“She is with me and she didn't

    VIENNE'S POVI walked down the stairs towards the dining before pausing at the sight before me.Mom and dad.I'm not complaining; I'm not just used to them being around so much as they have been lately. Before now, I could just see them four times a month and lately they've been spending up to a week at home.“Oh. Honey!” Mom called as she walked in from the kitchen with Mrs Lopez trailing behind her with some plates.“Is everything okay?”“Of…course” mom said with a frown.I turned to dad. “is everything really okay with work, Dad?”“Yes, why?”“Nothing. Just wanted to be sure everything is fine with business ‘cause I don't understand why and how you've been home frequently these days.”My younger self would have been over the moon out of excitement, but guess the excitement died sometime along the years and I don't even know what to feel with their presence anymore.“Nothing is wrong. You're just thinking too much. We don't really have much to handle. Don't you like it being here w

    THIRD PERSON POV“… and there, you have your answer to be 4x” the arithmetic teacher concluded with a finality as he wrote on the board.The students paid attention, well not all.Ryan Knox took it in him to strain his neck at intervals to check the back row with a disturbed frown.It's been a week since the doughnuts incident; and he'd been waiting for her to come apologizing on behalf of her friend who had snapped at him. He wonders why that stupid Grace girl wouldn't mind her business though.Besides, he'd been waiting for her to come over with her invitation card before Alex Monroe pulled his stupid stunt and he heard some baseless and unreasonable rumor on the students forum that she might have asked scholarship kid to be her plus one. That's typical Vienne’s move, but he doesn't want to believe that.He scoffed lightly as he turned around again to look behind him _“Mr Knox, is something interesting about to go on at the back of the classroom??” The teacher finally snapped.He'

    VIENNE'S POVThe bell rang a few seconds ago, indicating the end of break.I sighed as my phone kept blowing up with notifications again. These days or recently, I've been getting excited about whatever it is riling students up on the school's forum group.I opened the notification a and look at that!Those girls had pretended they couldn't be so bothered about what they heard earlier but look who's run to the group to announce ‘Reyes asked Calloway to be +1!’‘at this point, this is beyond what I can take 😩’‘that loser's a lucky bastard’‘what? Is it me or is Reyes shamelessness limitless?’‘exactly. Boys should be the one asking.’‘First it was Knox, now it's Calloway. Disgracing herself!’‘Oh please. I want me a shameless girlfriend too😩’‘what disgrace?😂 Girl's is going for what she wants. Talk about not being hypocritical.’‘I'm looking forward to Owen's party 🔥.’I sneered.They sure do talk a lot. They don't even care if who's been gossiped about can see all they're talkin

    VIENNE'S POV“Here.”Legs crossed at knees, arms folded, chin slightly in the air, I tore my gaze away from the pitiful form of Jane, whom most of the class had been watching as she packed her stuff; she'd been expelled.I turned my gaze to the person who stood before me trying to get my attention. Brenda Owen stood before me with the invitation card I've been seeing around. I reached for the card she handed over to me.“You'd be coming over, right?”“Sure.” My eyes raked through the words on the card.“Thank youuuuuuuu.” She said in a sing-song as she walked away with her friend; my eyes followed after her with a smile till it accidentally fell on Amelia. The smile vanished.She's practically boring a hole between my eyes with her creepy look. And at this point, I'm going to believe she's obsessed with me.Too bad, I don't do girls. Especially crazy ones.I rolled my eyes, looking away from her to the fellow walking; no strolling into the class, unbothered. Damon broodingly took his

    Vienne's povThe pounding in my skull could not be overlooked. It started behind my eyes and spread like cracks through glass, sharp and relentless. Sunlight sliced through the half-open curtains of my bedroom, turning the silk sheets into something blinding. I groaned, pressing my face into the pi

    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.
