KaiI sat there, tensed on my seat as I heard Mr Yao call my name. I gave off no outward reaction, neither did I take my eyes off Natasha.I'd seen her as she snuck into the classroom without Mr Yao's notice, and I wondered where she'd gone. Had she gone to talk to her new boyfriend?What was his name again? Ron something. Yes, Sir Aaron.Whatever they had going on, had been waxing stronger as the days went by, and it irked me to no end. Why was she so friendly with such a mediocre looking guy? I made an inward note to deal with him as soon as I could.I'd seen the way she looked at him. Her gay laughter, and all that. And it made me…angry.She'd never looked at me the way she did him. Presently, I watched as she resignedly leaned against her chair and tapped furiously on her locker table. All that, without taking a single glance at me, even though I was sure she was aware that I was staring at her. She was driving me nuts. But I was more angry at myself th
NatashaI sat in the cafeteria all alone, watching everyone around. My classmates, teachers, and even students from other classes. I sat down with my plate in front of me. A plate of dumplings and spaghetti. I twirled the wormlike food on my fork and watched it mold into a ball, before slowly placing it in my mouth. I held it on my tongue and savored the taste. Although it didn't hold a candle to the meals I usually had back at Gavemorth, it was still decent enough.But I almost choked when I suddenly spotted Calise...I reached for my water bottle and chugged it down to clear my throat. I frowned and wiped my mouth with a napkin as I saw her from across the room, her eyes searching. Her hands held a tray with a plate of saucy beef and a milk carton.She walked past several free tables and straight through the cafeteria. She brushed past everyone, and maneuvered like she was walking on wheels. The hat she wore on her head rested there like an insignia of he
Natasha I furiously stomped out of the cafeteria. Without squinting two times I strolled all the way down to the ladies room. I attempted to die down my weighty inhales yet the more I attempt to, the angrier I get."Ahhh!" I shouted in frustration, scattering the beautiful hairstyle I had on earlier. Seeing how rough my hair looks right now, I could easily pass for a lady who'd escaped the asylum.The entire situation was simply driving me insane"That damn calise! She should be tossed to the canines" I kicked the wall hard making me return in torment. "Ouch!" I fell on the floor with eyes nearly bringing out tears.I pet my toes, delicately blowing breeze on it through my mouth. But why'd I blow up in the first place? It's not as if Kai showed any interest in me, neither do I even like him. By the way, everyone keeps calling calise his sweetheart so… what exactly is my stress?"Hmm…I'm not angry! I'm just surprised at how they showed their affection rig
"No!" She insisted stubbornly so I had to grab her wrist and pull her out, causing another uproar amongst the students."Oh my! Is he taking her to a secret place right now?" "I wish I and my boyfriend can be like them""Aww he's so romantic, he wants to be alone with his girlfriend" "Romantic my foot…" I scoffed. The talks were annoying and kept ringing annoyingly in my ear, I was tired of this fake rumors, i need to sort this out. I immediately let her go when we got to the garden."Calise!" I yelled in frustration and anger. "What is it baby? I thought you brought me here so we could have fun?" She tried touching my chest but I moved back, making it impossible for her."Have fun? Are you out of your senses! Do you think everyone's up for your slutty attitude?" I asked and she angrily furrowed her brows"And what does that even mean?" "It means I'm not interested in anything that has to do with you, if you want fun then go to Reid or some other guy they'll be glad to get you l
The tears flowed faster than I could control. A failure.That was what I was. I held onto the bottle of alcohol like my life depended on it. My vision blurred as I stared down from the edge of the cliff. I took a deep breath.“What a great night to die,” I mumbled, taking a hearty gulp of my drink. My legs wobbled as tipsiness kicked in. Just one jump…Just one jump and all my problems would be over. My phone buzzed at that moment. Cursing at the fact that I hadn't left it at home, I brought it out of my coat pocket. My blood ran cold as I stared at the caller ID. With shaky hands, I received the call.“My gold mine,” Nathan's lazy drawl filled my ears.“You sonofabitch!” I rasped, almost stumbling. Little stones rolled over and fell down the cliff. “Oh, you don't have to take out your anger on me, darling.” His mocking laughter irked me, and I longed to scratch at his face with my nails. “You tricked me.” I swallowed hard, my chest heaving. “No, no, I didn't, darling Iris. You
could always sense when something bad was about to happen. And throughout my time at the cafè, where I'd gone to write, I'd felt something was wrong.I left the cafè earlier than I usually did, rushing back home. On a normal day, servants usually loitered around the mansion, but my father had given them a one week break.So, the mansion was quiet. But I couldn't help but feel there was an eeriness to the silence. And the feeling deepened as I headed towards my room.“Dad?” I called out, holding on to my backpack.Silence…I decided to check his study. My father always spent his time there, whenever he didn't go to the office. “Dad, are you-” My words trailed off, as a gasp left my lips. My eyes widened, as I tried processing the sight before me.“Dad-” I choked out, throwing my backpack to the floor, and hurrying deeper into the room. I shook their cold bodies, wishing this was one of the nightmares I usually had.Wishing they were playing a risky prank on me, and they'd burst out wi
She was smiling, while watching the TV. I could see her clearly from where I was crouching. I checked the time yet again. 9:00pm. Subconsciously humming and tapping my fingers on the rail, I stared on. Soon, the lights would go off, and it'd be time… I took a last moment's glance at my black bag, and chuckled lightly. I had been watching her for days. From her errands to the departmental stores, and her activities in her little home. All of them. I had memorized her schedule infact. It was a Friday. The only day she stayed up late at night watching her favorite show on TV. Smiling again, I continued humming, while counting down inwardly. One…Two…Three. In a snap, the lights went off, and I dived. The door pushed open without any difficulty. Studying the house layout beforehand proved handy, as I found a corner from where I could watch her obscurely. It took a few minutes, to get over to where she was seated, and I placed my hand over her mouth. I sensed the fear that enveloped he
This is so good,” the matriarch of the Parkers' family said, twirling around and looking at her reflection in the large living room mirror.I held my breath, as she continued.“So good,” she twirled herself once more, and turned to me. “Your designs are so good.” She paused. “Why don't you take on the Grand Dame project?”A smile finally blossomed on my face, and I nodded fervently. “Of course, Cecelia. I'll be so honored.” I'd been praying for this.I shook her hand. “Good. My secretary will send the contract, and details to your email, later.” She said, holding onto my hand longer than expected.She squinted her eyes, and I couldn't help but feel queasy.“Anything wrong, Cecelia?” I asked, hesitantly.“You didn't wear your wedding ring, today?” Taken aback by her question rather than the abruptness, my smile froze.“Pardon? I'm-” “To handle the Grand Dame project, you have to be married. Aren't you aware?” Her perfect brows arched.My heart dropped, as I struggled to form a coher
